Chapter 538

The resistance had so many powerful lords, yet before the nobles they could only hide and skulk about.

If caught, death was the only outcome.

And now… another damn alien had shown up?

Are aliens really that strong?

No.

Zhao Chi felt he had it backwards.

It's not that aliens are strong — only the strong aliens can break through.

The aliens who have the strength to break in are the strong ones.

No wonder this morning Du Li, a noble, was so respectful toward Master Mu Chang.

And Zhao Quan, after his promotion, also didn't dare voice his anger toward Master Mu Chang.

So that was how it was.

Zhao Chi silently watched the squad of soldiers walk away, and the few people from the Xiao family followed at a distance.

Zhao Huai waved his hand: "I'm heading back. You go busy yourself too — the Xiao family's business is none of our concern."

Zhao Chi walked back in silence.

Back at the territory.

Gu Qing and the others were not there.

Asking the female soldiers in training, he learned she had taken Tang Ruan and the others, along with Yang Lu's squad and Lin Mei's squad, to Penglai Village.

Zhao Chi immediately entered Penglai Village as well.

Repeatedly entering and leaving the same territory requires a cooldown, but consecutively entering different territories does not.

The moment he entered Penglai Village, he heard a great deal of thumping sounds by his ear.

Twenty lumberjacking women from Lin Mei's squad were chopping trees at full strength, and a small patch had already come down.

Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, and Qi Yue were also among the tree-chopping team.

All three of them had 7 points of Strength.

Although they lacked the bonus of a professional lumberjacking skill, relying on sheer strength, their progress was no slower than Lin Mei's lumberjacking women.

Seeing Zhao Chi come in, Gu Qing wiped the sweat from her brow and walked over.

"My lord, I had Lin Mei and the others clear out this patch first, then we can build here according to your plan. Yang Lu and I have already caught a batch of animals and released them; we'll go catch more in a bit."

Zhao Chi smiled: "Very good, I have something for you. Tang Ruan, Qi Yue, come here too."

"Okay, coming!" Tang Ruan set her axe down under a tree and ran over.

Qi Yue walked over silently.

Her cheeks were fair, her lips a tender pink.

Only her eyes held a trace of blankness.

Although she looked utterly pure right now, Zhao Chi knew she needed to feed.

Even if there was still a little blood effect left, she shouldn't be able to hold out much longer.

When Qi Yue walked over, the sound of her swallowing was very obvious.

Gulp.

Gulp.

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Zhao Chi also shifted from blank to bright.

Zhao Chi raised his left hand and extended his index finger.

Qi Yue's gaze locked onto his finger and could not look away.

"My lord… may I eat?"

"Of course, I held it out for you."

This morning Qi Yue had probably fed once around 7-something.

It was now 4 in the afternoon — roughly nine hours apart.

If she needed to feed once every nine hours, that wasn't too frequent… right?

Qi Yue instinctively glanced at Gu Qing and Tang Ruan, then took Zhao Chi's hand.

Her tongue gave a light lick.

Zhao Chi still felt nothing — only touch, no pain.

But Qi Yue had already begun drinking with evident delight.

Gulp.

Gulp.

Gu Qing had already seen it this morning, and had even provided some blood for Qi Yue.

But for Tang Ruan, it was her first time seeing it.

She stared at Qi Yue in disbelief, her eyes full of curiosity.

But seeing how eagerly Qi Yue was eating, Tang Ruan actually began swallowing too.

Gu Qing smiled at Tang Ruan: "Don't be so curious — I tasted it this morning too. There's no flavor at all."

Moguoyi Society, Zhao Chi's finger turned white, the blood inside all drained away.

Only then did Qi Yue part her small mouth and release Zhao Chi's finger.

But this time, copying Gu Qing's manner from the morning, she pressed her lips together with a little force.

Wiping Zhao Chi's finger perfectly clean.

"Huff~~"

Qi Yue sighed with satisfaction.

Zhao Chi checked his condition and found his HP had dropped by 5 points.

What she had drawn was indeed not much.

But she had once again become flushed all over, her lips a bewitching red.

Tang Ruan exclaimed, "Wow, no wonder I thought you were so beautiful this morning — so it really was from sucking blood! I thought you were just teasing me."

Qi Yue, in a wonderful mood, laughed softly and said, "How could I? Everything I told you is true."

Gu Qing leaned in close, her lips parting, her tongue sliding.

Zhao Chi's wound healed.

The 5 HP lost were also fully restored.

Zhao Chi said, "Alright, these are for the three of you."

Zhao Chi handed the hair ribbons and each of their skill books to them.

As expected, another round of joyful thanks followed.

"No need to thank me. Put the hair ribbons on, then learn the spiritual technique."

All three women raised their arms and tied up their long hair.

Gu Qing was tying her hair when she suddenly let out a soft laugh.

"My lord, you bought us these hair ribbons — why do I feel you have another purpose in mind?"

Zhao Chi asked, "Huh? What purpose could I have?"

Gu Qing laughed and said, "Have you forgotten? Back then you were always complaining my hair was in the way. Now that it can be tied up, it won't be."

Zhao Chi couldn't figure it out: "When?"

Gu Qing pouted, "When else? When you were stuffing it into my mouth."

Zhao Chi looked at Tang Ruan and Qi Yue, slightly embarrassed.

But the two of them were both dumbfounded, clearly not knowing what it meant either.

And so it went.

Gu Qing laughing, Tang Ruan and Qi Yue bewildered, they finished learning their respective skills.

Tang Ruan's skill was plain and unadorned — a practical type, learned and done.

But Gu Qing and Qi Yue's were not.

Qi Yue drew the blade at her waist and looked toward the empty woods beside her.

A cold white light emanated from her body.

The white light gathered in her hand and extended along the blade.

She raised the blade and slashed.
