Chapter 717

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue were also constantly being taught by Gu Qing...

That book on the art of the bedchamber was really money well spent!

The topic got derailed again.

He really is dyed red by those he keeps close.

When Qi Yue first arrived, she was very quiet and earnest.

Now that she's spent so long with Gu Qing, she's started making jokes about this sort of thing too.

Still, these women's flexibility stats come from being elves.

To begin with, they're much higher than the average human woman's.

With the "Supple Body" gene, it's softness on top of softness.

One could say their bodies are extremely supple.

Splits, backbends, waist twists, hip lifts — they can do them all without practice.

I bet none of them are afraid of joint locks.

"Hold out your hand, let me see."

"Mm."

Qi Yue obediently held it out.

Zhao Chi stroked her pair of secondary arms — they really were no different from her original arms.

The skin was smooth, tender, and fair.

The muscle was very soft, yet full of elasticity.

Perhaps the only difference was the position.

He didn't know if the strength had weakened.

At least looking at the stat panel, Qi Yue's Strength was still 7 points.

Now Zhao Chi's Strength had risen by 1 tier, reaching 6 points — only one tier lower than Qi Yue's.

If he arm-wrestled Qi Yue, Zhao Chi should be able to hold on for about 2 seconds.

If Qi Yue's arm strength had weakened, Zhao Chi would be able to tell.

"Qi Yue, let's go arm-wrestle at that wooden table over there."

"Arm-wrestling again?"

"... Mm."

Before, Zhao Chi had refused to believe it and arm-wrestled Qi Yue and the others.

After all, their arms were just like an ordinary woman's — rather slender.

Almost half again as thin as Zhao Chi's.

But... in this world, you can't judge by appearances alone.

In terms of strength, Zhao Chi was pinned down by them completely.

"Qi Yue, ready? We'll go through all four arms in order — extend your secondary arm first."

"Ready."

"Ready — begin!"

Zhao Chi won.

Zhao Chi: "..."

Qi Yue: "..."

Zhao Chi: "Qi Yue, were you letting me win?"

Qi Yue shook her head: "No."

Her gaze was a little evasive.

"Tell me the truth."

"Mm..." Qi Yue nodded.

"Why let me win? You little girl — how do you know how to do all this now?"

Qi Yue hesitated: "Sister Gu Qing said you're a man, so we have to look after your pride, so she told us not to use our full strength like last time."

Zhao Chi: "..."

Zhao Chi: "It's fine. Right now I'm testing the strength of your arms, so you have to use your full strength — otherwise my data will be off."

"Okay, I understand."

"Come on, ready?"

"Ready."

"Ready — begin!"

Qi Yue's arm exerted force; Zhao Chi pressed down with all his might, but couldn't push it down at all.

He held on for only 2 seconds before losing.

Matching the predicted time from earlier, it seemed Qi Yue's arm strength hadn't been affected.

"Alright, Qi Yue, use your other arm, let's go again."

"Okay, my lord, your pride isn't hurt, is it?"

"... It's fine. You're my woman anyway — the stronger you are, the happier I am. No worries."

"Okay, then next time I'll use my full strength."

What?

Zhao Chi looked at Qi Yue: "You didn't use your full strength?"

"I... I also used some strength." Qi Yue explained.

"Use your full strength!"

"Oh, alright."

"Come on, are you ready?"

"All set."

"Ready—begin!"

Boom!

In less than half a second, Zhao Chi's hand was pressed hard against the table by Qi Yue.

So it turns out the gap from just a little bit of strength was this huge.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

A difference of 1 point of strength is the difference between a man's and a woman's strength.

If you go all out, of course the victor can be decided in an instant.

"... Alright, Qi Yue, let go of me. Let's try the other arm."

"Oh... my lord, are you really alright?"

"Go all out. Keep testing."

"Oh..."

After many rounds of testing, the strength in Qi Yue's four arms showed no decrease whatsoever.

Then there was no problem.
