The time to clear the round is nothing! It's not worth you taking the risk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Zhao Chi was truly angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing paused her steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, aren't you testing? The shorter the time to clear, the higher the score, and we can get good prizes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi had already rushed to her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Gu Qing and pulled her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but roar: \"You remember this well: you are the most important. The time to clear, the ranking, the rewards—none of them are as important as you. While you protect my interests, you must also protect yourself for me. You are my greatest interest, do you understand?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing was stunned: \"You want me... to protect... myself... for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right! Those 13 lightning elementals together create a very strong lightning field, which will greatly enhance the power of their lightning-type spiritual arts. Do you understand now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing didn't listen to Zhao Chi's explanation at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still immersed in the previous sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to smile, but her nose felt a bit sore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes couldn't help but moisten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her like this, Zhao Chi thought his tone had been bad and that she felt wronged and sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was thinking of his interests, and roaring at her just now did seem a bit impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zhao Chi explained again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't mean to roar at you just now; it's just that I was too anxious. Although your attributes are strong, you can't take risks. If you make a mistake, everything will be over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded with tears in her eyes: \"I know. I'm not blaming you for roaring at me. I will protect myself well for you. I'll just attract them one by one from now on, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi nodded: \"Right, that way if you make a mistake, you can still withstand one hit, and there will be time to take an elixir and heal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled gently: \"Silly, we aren't talking about the same thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi was surprised: \"Ah? Silly? Why aren't we talking about the same thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said softly: \"It's nothing. Then I'll go attract them quickly, my lord, you be careful too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\" Zhao Chi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Gu Qing didn't act rashly; instead, she honestly led the lightning elementals away one by one before baiting them into using their skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi felt relieved and looked around for targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system suddenly sent a notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gu Qing's \"Favorability\" has been unlocked; the current level is \"Heart-Fluttering\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heart-Fluttering: First tier of favorability; when using skills on her, the effect increases by 20%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Favorability unlocked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't I just scold her until she cried?
