Chapter 918: Four-Way Melee (12)

Warm sunlight fell on his body, and Zhao Chi's mood calmed considerably.

The female soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield.

The werewolves, blown into mincemeat, would soon become nourishment for the grass.

The corpses of Xiao Ning's soldiers lay scattered in twisted poses, and the female soldiers stripped off their armor.

As expected, fine iron armor—carry it away later.

Xiao Ning's territory was vast, impossible to see the edge of at a glance.

There were quite a few buildings of various kinds, most of them wooden.

There was no overall construction plan—scattered here and there, very disorderly.

The storehouses were fairly conspicuous, and there were quite a few of them.

Unfortunately, with only one hour left, Zhao Chi could only have people rush to haul things away.

Another pity was the realm lock, which prevented him from summoning Gongyu Niu to carry the loads.

Fortunately, these Taoyuan women's load-bearing capacity was extremely strong, so all kinds of supplies were moved very quickly.

The priority for this haul remained: basic resources last—especially heavy stone, iron ore, and the like; if they really couldn't be moved, just leave them.

Weapons and equipment were moved first.

Semi-finished products like cloth and iron ingots were moved second.

Grain was moved in the third echelon.

Now Zhao Chi truly wasn't short on grain—grain from other people really didn't sit easy eating it.

If Xiao Ning were a genuine human it would be fine, but she had now also become a werewolf.

Werewolves had a very varied diet.

They ate people, goblins, even rotten flesh, and so on.

Zhao Chi wouldn't eat this grain once it was hauled back either—he could sell it to others.

A lot of grain on the market was like this.

Still, eating one's own grain put the mind at ease.

Everyone else was busy; Zhao Chi wandered aimlessly around the territory, looking here and there.

To avoid anyone hiding in these buildings, Zhao Chi stayed inside Gu Qing's body the entire time.

This made things much safer.

Zhao Chi first searched through a few of the heroes' houses.

Inside were mostly daily necessities—nothing worth scavenging.

After all, they weren't independent lords; they probably had no household wealth to speak of.

Whatever little they had was likely all stored in their system space.

It didn't matter.

At most it was only a few gold coins' worth of stuff.

But Xiao Ning's room was worth a visit.

Xiao Ning's lord's residence had been renovated and was much larger than before.

Outside it was a two-story building, with a basement as well.

The basement was crammed full of all kinds of clothes and shoes, piled in a messy heap; combined with the basement's musty smell, the odor here was very strange.

Zhao Chi frowned, used a stick to poke through the clothes searching, but found nothing useful.

These clothes and shoes themselves weren't fashion items either—seemed this basement really was just where she piled her clothes.

Really couldn't figure out what use so many clothes and shoes had.

But Gu Qing was a little envious.

Her thoughts appeared clearly and unmistakably in his mind.

Zhao Chi: 【You like clothes and shoes too?】

Gu Qing: 【Listen to you, my lord—what woman doesn't?】

Zhao Chi: 【These aren't fashion items, they're all ordinary clothes】

Gu Qing: 【Mm, I know】

Zhao Chi: 【If you like them, once things outside settle down, I'll buy you plenty more】

Gu Qing: 【Hehe, really?】

Zhao Chi: 【Of course it's true—this kind of ordinary clothing isn't expensive, one gold coin can buy dozens of pieces】

Gu Qing: 【Actually you don't need to buy too many either; just buy a few different styles, then make a sample for Feng Xiu and the others, and they'll all be able to make them】

Zhao Chi: 【Then why don't I just buy a bunch of sewing books for them?】

Gu Qing: 【Hehe, that would of course be even better—whatever we want to wear, we can just have them make it】

Zhao Chi: 【Understood, just tell me whenever you want something, I can buy it all】

Gu Qing: 【I want your heart】

Zhao Chi: 【... That one you don't need to buy, it's already yours】

Gu Qing: 【Haha, my lord, let's keep scavenging first, I'll come find you tonight for an in-depth chat】

Zhao Chi: 【Alright, definitely the most in-depth】

Arrived at the first floor.

The first floor was Xiao Ning's rest area.

There was a sofa bed and snacks.

There were also all kinds of entertainment facilities, as well as daily necessities.

Nothing good here either.

The second floor is the bedroom.

Zhao Chi focused his search here.

There were just as many clothes in the bedroom, and the few cabinets beside it were already piled full.

The nightstand held all sorts of hairpins, bracelets, and other small accessories.

Nothing of any value.

That shouldn't be the case.

He searched another circle, still coming up empty.
