Chapter 883: Four-Way Melee (4)

Over 20 minutes later, all the orc prisoners were escorted back to Taoyuan Village.

Given those orcs' speed, it was no small feat for them to run back in just over 20 minutes.

But with Qi Yue driving them from behind, the orcs would have dropped dead before daring to stop.

One by one, panting and gasping, they collapsed on the ground.

Taoyuan Village's prison could only hold 100 people.

But if compliance and mood weren't a concern, cramming them all in by force wouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, once today's fighting was over, they were all going to be sold off, so a little crowding for now would do.

Zhao Chi called Yang Lu over to keep watch.

Their hunter squad had no work for the moment, so they would guest-star as prison guards.

Besides them, the harpies and naga warriors were also recalled to patrol around the prison.

When he fought Xiao Ning later, those orcs must not be allowed to cause trouble.

Zhao Chi opened the village group chat again.

By now there were even more help requests.

And over a dozen had their combat power cut in half — they truly needed help.

No other useful information.

He opened the clan group.

There were 3 help requests.

Zhao Cang, Zhao Kong, and one vassal lord of the clan.

Zhao Chi really wanted to go help, but he couldn't right now.

Gu Qing came over with a catwalk stride.

Zhao Chi admired her posture, while also feeling a touch of emotion in his heart.

He hadn't expected that even wearing that kind of iron armor, she could still walk with such an enchanting gait.

"My lord, it's almost time. Try contacting Xiao Ning."

The female soldiers were lined up in neat formation, their fighting spirit strong.

Zhao Chi was silent for a moment: "Everyone rest another 10 minutes. I'll make contact in 10 minutes."

"Mm, alright. Everyone rest on the spot. If you're hungry, eat something; if you're thirsty, go drink. Assemble in 10 minutes!" Gu Qing waved her hand.

"Yes!"

The female soldiers scattered.

Gu Qing asked: "My lord, would you like some milk? Shall I bring you a cup?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No need, I don't like drinking it. You go drink your fill."

"Mm, alright~" Gu Qing left happily.

Qi Yue was still standing to one side.

Her body had already recovered, returning to 1.68 meters.

"Qi Yue, have you eaten your fill? Want to top up a bit more?"

Qi Yue smiled and shook her head: "I ate a lot just now. I didn't expect that getting bigger would consume so much — I ate a whole basin."

Zhao Chi looked around: "Come, go inside with me, I'll let you eat some more."

Qi Yue laughed: "I really can't eat any more. Look, my belly's all puffed up."

She switched into fashion mode.

She lifted her shirt, revealing her fair, tender waist and belly.

It was indeed a bit thicker and rounder than usual.

Zhao Chi nodded and said: "It won't be too much, just half a mouthful's worth. After all, this time we're going up against Xiao Ning, so we need to bring out our full strength. The 1 point I've been saving — I'll let you have it."

"Eh! Is that the thing?" Qi Yue's face lit up with pleasant surprise.

Although Zhao Chi hadn't said it outright, she understood perfectly what he meant.

"I want to eat!" Qi Yue licked her lips.

Zhao Chi actually felt it was a little strange.

After all, doing this right before a major battle just felt off somehow.

But it really would boost Qi Yue's combat power.

In her "Blood Desire" state, the bonus from "Ultimate Favor" was greater than "Blood Satisfaction" and "Feeder's Blessing" combined.

If maxed out, her combat power would definitely rise another level.

Boosting combat power was the most important thing — he couldn't be too hung up on convention.

Anyway, Qi Yue didn't mind either. In fact, she happily tugged Zhao Chi along into the lord's residence.

A bout of muffled sounds.

Qi Yue's state rose rapidly.

Visibly, her lips turned an extremely vivid red.

This was the first time since discovering the "Ultimate Favor" state that Qi Yue had been allowed to eat her fill.

Lately she had only been cleaning up the leftovers.

She squatted on the ground, eyes closed, and didn't stand up for a long while, as if savoring the aftertaste.

Her hand rested on Zhao Chi's leg, her throat bobbing up and down.

Only after a long while did she let go of Zhao Chi.

Gulp!

"Ah~"

Qi Yue swallowed the last mouthful and let out a long sigh.

Her face was flushed a rosy pink, ravishingly beautiful.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

Her eyes curved into crescents.

Zhao Chi knew that her energy and mood had probably already hit their peak.

Ever since her blood-thirst had been strengthened, he hadn't yet seen the specific effects.

Now was the most complete moment to do so.
