I just assumed it was always this soft.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you can hug me again to check.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ruan threw herself at him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi laughed: \"Let me squeeze your arm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ruan reached out her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flesh on her arm was very soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly feel the shape of her arm bone, but her bones had not softened; they remained firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi squeezed her arm, his gaze uncontrollably drifting toward her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shouldn't have started sagging, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ruan noticed his gaze and said shyly: \"You can squeeze and see, to check if they've become softer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... wouldn't that be inappropriate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\" Tang Ruan thought for a moment and said: \"My lord, didn't you want to verify if there were any changes? If you don't check, wouldn't it be impossible to tell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good point!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi muttered: \"That's right, exactly.

I'm going to go roast meat for them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ruan scurried away in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Zhao Chi standing there with his hand half-extended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing looked at the fleeing Tang Ruan with confusion, then turned to ask Zhao Chi: \"Why is that little girl running?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi shook his head: \"Are you all done bathing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, everyone is eating outside, but we don't have enough clothes. I'll need to make more tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, 10 more people will arrive tomorrow. I'll reassign more people to be tailors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\" Gu Qing closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked closer, trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, did you set up a new skill for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not a skill, it's an improved gene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said in surprise: \"A gene? Is it a gene obtained from a racial bloodline?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said softly: \"You risked your life to obtain that, and you just used it on us like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. The stronger you are, the stronger I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... can't individual genes also be used on the lord? Why didn't you use it on yourself? This healing fluid can save lives. Why give such a precious gene to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi laughed: \"Using it on you is the most appropriate choice. After all, your role is that of a healer. Besides using spiritual arts to heal, this is equivalent to gaining an additional healing skill that doesn't consume spiritual power, making you even stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled and nodded gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at her expression, it seemed she wasn't looking for that kind of answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women, after all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi changed the subject: \"Besides that, this gene can keep you safer...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew you were doing this out of concern for me, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhao Chi could finish, Gu Qing excitedly interrupted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhao Chi was about to speak again, the system sent a notification:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Gu Qing's \"Favorability\" has increased; the current level is \"Deep Affection\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Zhao Chi was silent for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Gu Qing waiting specifically for Zhao Chi to say something caring, and then she couldn't wait to increase her favorability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does it feel like she increased it herself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can favorability increase on its own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does it seem like she's self-taming?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Tang Ruan is the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just this short time, favorability increased by two tiers; how can it be so fast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he used precious items on them and helped them improve their genes, it shouldn't be like this, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it the same for other lords?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is completely different from what Li Li Ruanyu taught in class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still remembered when Li Li Ruanyu gave that public lecture in the large classroom, it was packed to the brim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While some students were there to see Li Li Ruanyu, most wanted to hear about the emotional relationships between lords and their subjects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Increases in favorability and loyalty are correlated, but not necessarily linked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's possible for loyalty to be very high while favorability never unlocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or favorability unlocks, but loyalty remains low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in either case, the speed of increase is never this fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's rare to have favorability increase by two tiers in a single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Tang Ruan, Gu Qing also increased by two tiers today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could call Tang Ruan a coincidence, but with Gu Qing the same, it can't be explained by coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at loyalty again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing and Tang Ruan both have 7 points of loyalty, and the other female soldiers and artisans have also reached 5 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is truly too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi didn't know the reason and could only explain it by the fact that he was the creator of these Taoyuan women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do they have an extra emotional bonus toward their creator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Zhao Chi was still thinking, Gu Qing had already taken his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling him out of his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, you cut your index finger when you were cracking the whip earlier.
