Chapter 477: Chapter 324: Lady Lord Su Qin (1)
"Su Qin, calm down."
"I... I, hmph!"
Su Qin turned her head to look at the main gate, refusing to look at Zhao Chi.
But she didn’t leave. She stayed right by Zhao Chi’s side, clearly wanting him to coax her.
Zhao Chi could actually sense Su Qin’s feelings for him.
It was all too obvious.
Anyone who wasn’t a complete idiot could tell.
Besides, Su Qin was a good person and beautiful, so Zhao Chi had a favorable impression of her as well.
Plus, Su Qin had been with the Zhao Family for many years, so he knew her background through and through.
However, the two of them hadn’t been particularly close before.
Their relationship had only grown closer after Zhao Chi came to her aid last time.
Zhao Chi wanted to treat her as a normal friend.
But Su Qin didn’t see it that way.
It hadn’t even been two weeks.
It was too soon.
Su Qin wasn’t one of Zhao Chi’s subordinate Heroes; she was an independent Lord.
Zhao Chi couldn’t completely control her.
’Of course, I could enslave her to control her, but it’s not like it’s come to that...’
’Besides, a woman’s feelings can be incredibly volatile. One day she might be madly in love, and the next she could find it all bland and tasteless.’
’There was no way he could get emotionally invested in her right now.’
’He could definitely sleep with her now, but there was no need.’
’Zhao Chi didn’t lack for women. The experiences he had with Gu Qing and the others were top-tier; he didn’t need to go looking for anyone else.’
’And now the very beautiful Zhuang Ya had shown up. He really wasn’t lacking in that department, so there was no reason to pursue this.’
’Most importantly, he had secrets.’
’So he needed more time to build a relationship of trust with Su Qin.’
Still, she needed a little coaxing.
Zhao Chi thought for a moment and said, "I have a gift for you."
Su Qin hmphed. "I don’t want any gift. I just want someone who won’t play dumb."
Zhao Chi said helplessly, "What if it’s a gift you absolutely can’t refuse?"
Su Qin turned to glance at Zhao Chi, then whispered, "You don’t mean yourself, do you?"
Zhao Chi couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re overthinking things. It’s a piece of sleepwear. I don’t have it on me right now; I’ll have it sent to your territory later."
Zhao Chi had actually considered it.
The Knowledge Goddess Sleepwear was a Rare Level cosmetic item, after all, a higher Level than the Silk Stockings.
He was reluctant to part with it so easily.
But giving just one to Su Qin would be fine, and its origin would be easy enough to explain.
It would also allow Su Qin to progress faster, and he could use the opportunity to evaluate her character—killing several birds with one stone.
Su Qin hmphed. "Sleepwear? Why would you give me sleepwear? There’s no one to see it. It’d be a waste to wear it."
Zhao Chi explained, "It’s a cosmetic item."
Su Qin, still frowning, replied, "So what if it’s a cosmetic item? Weren’t the Silk Stockings and High Heels you gave me also cosmetic items? I wear them every day, but you never come to visit. Who am I supposed to be wearing them for?"
Zhao Chi said, "Lower your voice. I’ll start visiting you more often, alright?"
From the front, Ninth Sister Zhao Lu turned her head back and teased, "It’s fine, you don’t have to whisper. I could hear you just fine a moment ago. Say whatever you want."
Zhao Chi and Su Qin were both a little embarrassed.
Neither of them said anything more.
But Su Qin still muttered under her breath, "You said it. You have to come visit often."
Zhao Chi nodded.
Only then did Su Qin cheer up again.
Just as she was about to speak again, a commotion sounded in the distance.
Everyone looked outside the village.
A group appeared at the far end of the road. They didn’t even need a clear look to know that Muchang had arrived.
As they drew closer, everyone could see them more clearly.
At the very front, dozens of mounted Alien Race Soldiers cleared the path.
Slightly behind them was an Alien Race Lord with a bizarre face and disharmonious features—that was Muchang.
Zhao Chi had seen him up close once before.
He looked even uglier this time.
Beside Muchang were two mounted females of the Alien Race, and frankly, they were even uglier.
They had very distinct Wolf Race features.
If they were to transform fully into wolves, they would undoubtedly be easier to look at than they were now.
Their current appearance was truly unsettling.
Behind them were fifty Alien Race Lords.
All of them were mounted, clad in various types of armor that were likely priceless pieces of Special equipment.
Behind the Lords were several hundred Alien Race Soldiers, all clad in Exotic Armor.
Zhao Chi was a bit puzzled. ’Don’t they turn into Werewolves when they fight?’
’Then what’s the point of them wearing Armor and carrying Weapons?’
’Could it be that they fight in their humanoid forms?’
’Or perhaps when they become Werewolves, the Armor and Weapons merge directly into their bodies?’
Aha!
’That’s possible!’
’No wonder I could never seem to injure those Werewolves. Could it be because they had merged with their Armor?’
’It looked like my attacks were hitting the Werewolf, but were they actually hitting the Armor?’
’And was Iwagaki so hard to kill because his Armor had extremely high Durability? Or did it have an even more Special Effect?’
Zhao Chi didn’t know.
It was all just speculation for now.
But he felt it was at least a strong possibility.
’And fifty Lords came this time? What are they doing here?’
’So many Alien Race Lords couldn’t possibly be here just for Stream Village. With their power, they wouldn’t need this many people to wipe it out.’
’Kiro and his twelve Lords could probably manage that on their own.’
’Are they just passing through?’
Zhao Chi kept guessing but had no idea.
Muchang and his entourage drew closer and closer.
Kiro and the others at the front performed the Wolf Race military salute.
The Human Lords on both sides began to wave yellow flags.
Muchang seemed to be in a decent Mood, grinning as he rode in, waving at the Lords on either side.
The horses kicked up clouds of yellow dust as they passed.
The dust was choking.
’I wonder why they don’t use a Spiritual Energy Vehicle?’
’Maybe riding horses looks more imposing?’
Muchang and his people didn’t stop, riding straight into the village.
Kiro and the others immediately followed.
