Chapter 847

Yanping watched Zhao Chi's retreating back and said in a low voice, "Lady, this Zhao Chi is too strange. A few days ago he wasn't like this."

Xiao Ning nodded. "I understand. I don't know what's going on with this Zhao Chi. The feeling he gives me is too… forget it. As long as he supports the Holy Tribe, of course we welcome him too."

Yanping said disdainfully, "Just a beginner Lord, far too weak."

Xiao Ning said with a smile, "I'm also a beginner Lord, but haven't I already surpassed most people now? As long as he's loyal to the Holy Tribe, everything else isn't a problem. His strength can also be quickly cultivated."

"Loyal? I can't see that Zhao Chi is all that loyal to the Holy Tribe."

"Didn't you also hear what he just said?"

"That only shows he sees the situation very clearly and has no choice but to rely on our Holy Tribe."

"Same thing. Relying on the Holy Tribe means being loyal to the Holy Tribe. And with him joining, the Zhao family can also be monitored and communicated with through him, which benefits me too."

"Mm…" Yanping nodded. "What about that person from the Liu family?"

"Kill him and use him as feed."

"Good."

Zhao Chi walked out of the Xiao family and let out a long, deep breath.

Pretending to be friendly is also exhausting.

Good thing it's over.

But the moment he thought of the three beauties as lovely as flowers waiting for him back in his territory, his mood improved greatly, and his weariness lightened considerably.

It's just that his kidneys ached faintly.

Quite a few notifications had come through the system just now, and he hadn't had time to look at them.

Only now did he open them to check.

The moment he opened it, he found they were all messages from Su Qin, numbering several dozen.

Zhao Chi curiously played them.

They were all Su Qin's voice messages thanking him, and a few even carried a sobbing tone.

【Zhao Chi, you saved me again】

【I didn't expect it would make you make such a big sacrifice. I originally wanted to report this situation to Grandpa Clan Leader, but I can't figure out whether you really want to join those alien races?】

【Even if you really do want to join the alien races, I support your choice. I won't tell anyone】

【But if you're being forced, you can go find Grandpa Clan Leader. He can definitely help you】

【You've already saved me twice. I don't know how to repay you. From now on, as long as you need anything, just come to me. Whether it's combat support or supplies you need, just say the word】

【If you feel a bit lonely, as long as you don't mind me, I can also go keep you company】

【I'm actually not bad looking, I just don't like dressing up. My appearance is also 7 points. I can send you my personal info for you to see】

【Although there are many people pursuing me in the academy, I've never paid them any attention. Zhao Jiao knows this. If you don't believe it, you can ask her】

There were still many more messages.

Most of them carried a similar meaning.

Personal information is private; unless willingly shared, it's very hard for others to see directly.

And the words that followed almost explicitly revealed her feelings.

Her looks were indeed not bad.

But Zhao Chi had ultimately not known her for long, so he couldn't rashly make any promises.

After some thought, he still replied to her.

【It's fine, Su Qin. Don't worry about me on my end. Prepare well for tomorrow's battle. Rest early tonight and build up your energy】

【But tomorrow's battle may be very intense. I might not have time to come support you. Hold steady on your own and do your best】

【Don't worry about me. I can handle everything on my end】

Su Qin replied immediately:

【Zhao Chi, thank you again】

【If I finish my battle early tomorrow, I'll definitely come support you】

【You go ahead and be busy. I won't bother you too much】

Zhao Chi didn't reply again and headed straight back to his territory.

As of today, the female soldiers already in his entire territory numbered a full 200.

Today was September 29th.

Zhao Chi had established Taoyuan Village in the last ten days of the previous month.

Based on the normal number of people a human supplements each day, there should only be 180 now.

But this was only a reference figure.

After all, battles bring casualties, and victories bring captives.

The population numbers of Lords from the same period as Zhao Chi all varied, roughly between 100 and 500.

The weaker ones, having suffered greater battle losses, had populations of only a little over 100.

The stronger ones might have several hundred.

So now Zhao Chi also didn't need to conceal his population numbers from the outside world.

In any case, he had won many battles, only kept female captives, only took in surrendered women, so there was no problem.

Besides, he could also spend money to buy female captives.

However, most people's affiliation was still kept at Penglai Village, just in case.

Returning to his territory, Zhao Chi once again entered the three lands of tenderness.

Truly reluctant to leave.

【Your "Favorability" with Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, and Qi Yue has increased. The current levels are "Bewitching Infatuation," "Enduring Affection," and "Enduring Affection" respectively】

There was nothing he could do about it.

The three of them really went all out, leaving Zhao Chi completely disoriented.

He also sincerely began to feel a deeper affection for the three of them.

The rise in affection made Gu Qing and the other two overjoyed.

They all tried even harder to curry favor with Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi felt like he was about to collapse.

However, Gu Qing and the others didn't really drain Zhao Chi the entire night.

Instead, they let him off in the early hours of the morning.

There were still six hours left, more than enough for Zhao Chi to get a good three naps in.

Time quickly arrived at six o'clock the next day.

Various reports came flooding in.

Besides the routine daily work reports, there was also one piece of information Zhao Chi had been eagerly anticipating.

【Notification: The September monthly report has been compiled. You may view it at any time.】

Monthly report!

Zhao Chi wasn't an official lord last month; he only officially became one starting this month.

So there was no monthly report for last month.

At six in the morning on the first of every month, the monthly report refreshes on time along with all other reports.

Zhao Chi gently moved aside Gu Qing's long leg that was draped over him.

But unexpectedly, Gu Qing threw her whole body over him.

Zhao Chi had originally wanted to sit up and look at this information, but forget it—he'd just look at it lying down.

【September Monthly Report】:

【1. Territory Assessment】

【2. Personal Assessment】

【3. Subordinate Assessment】

He clicked the first one directly.

The instant it opened, Zhao Chi felt a buzzing sound ring in his head.

But it lasted only a short while.

Immediately after, a massive amount of information refreshed.

All of it was about the territory.

There were easily several hundred thousand pieces of information of every kind.
