Chapter 488: Chapter 328: Lady Lord Su Qin (5)
Finally, they settled on a time.
Zhao Chi nodded. "Alright then. Every day at 10 AM, I’ll send my people over to deal with them together."
"Alright~"
Their business was basically settled.
A man and a woman, on what could be considered their wedding night... what was there to do next?
There was only one option.
Su Qin couldn’t help but bite her lip and let out another soft moan.
Although it was still a bit painful, Zhao Chi had been thoroughly coached by Gu Qing. He was intimately familiar with every inch of their soft interiors.
He knew just what effect each spot had.
He could perform exceptionally well even under these circumstances.
Sure enough, Su Qin soon forgot about everything else.
Gasping, clutching the bedsheets, she could only sigh and moan.
As he finished, Zhao Chi hesitated for a moment.
But he still experimentally gave Su Qin 1 point of his Genes to see if she could grasp the Genetic Enhancement Skill.
Unfortunately, just as he’d suspected, Su Qin didn’t feel a thing.
She just felt a warm sensation.
And she didn’t activate the Genetic Enhancement Skill.
It seemed only the Peach Blossom Females could acquire these Abilities.
It was a bit of a shame.
「The next morning.」
After kissing Su Qin goodbye, Zhao Chi returned to the misty Penglai Village.
Strangely enough.
Even though the Carefree Spring was now enormous with ten different, individual hot springs—and the two Sauna Springs were more like steam pots, billowing with hot vapor—Penglai Village didn’t feel damp at all.
The bedding remained dry and comfortable.
Clothes never felt moist.
The wooden walls were dry to the touch.
Even the ground by the springs formed a hard, dry dirt path, not a wet, slippery one.
The air was just slightly more humid, making it feel pleasant to breathe and comfortable on the skin, but that was it.
It was quite magical.
The village women came and went in a steady stream.
Each one of them was beaming with a smile from her Inner Heart.
Gu Qing and the others were gathered around Zhuang Ya, and he couldn’t see what they were doing.
Zhao Chi went over to take a look.
He saw the water in front of Zhuang Ya start to GURGLE GURGLE GURGLE.
Looking closer, he realized one of her fingers was burning underwater in the hot spring, heating the small patch of water around it to a boil.
Gu Qing and the others watched Zhuang Ya’s display in amazement, as if they were watching a magic trick.
’So Spiritual Power Flames can burn underwater?’
"Well now~ Lord Zhao Chi is back from his wedding night? Have you had breakfast?"
Zhuang Ya said with a gentle smile.
Gu Qing and the others chimed in with their greetings as well.
Zhao Chi chuckled. "I’ve eaten. Are you performing a magic trick?"
Zhuang Ya shook her head. "I just had a sudden thought and gave it a try. I didn’t expect it to actually work, but it consumes a bit more Spiritual Power this way."
Zhao Chi asked curiously, "Don’t you feel the heat? The water around your fingertip is boiling."
"My palm is fine, but my arm isn’t. Only the part that emits the Flame is immune to its high temperature."
’This Ability isn’t useful for now.’
’But it might lead to some new strategies down the line.’
Zhao Chi said, "Alright, I have something to tell you all. From now on, we’ll be able to get real combat experience every day."
Then, Zhao Chi explained the situation in Su Qin’s territory to them.
When they heard there would be 400 Basic Level Magical Beasts to fight every day, their faces lit up with delight.
Zhuang Ya was especially thrilled.
As a newcomer, she was eager to make a Contribution.
Plus, the effect of her Talent gave her a hidden bloodlust.
Zhao Chi hadn’t expected them to be so happy about it.
’He hadn’t accepted a Magical Beast quota himself because he didn’t want to be tied down to a fixed daily task.’
’That would have been too restrictive.’
’But now, with Su Qin, they could just fight at her territory, which ironically gave him much more freedom.’
Besides, 400 Magical Beasts was the perfect number—not too many, not too few.
Tang Ruan asked, "My Lord, if we get to fight 400 Magical Beasts every day, does that mean we’ll be able to level up daily?"
Zhao Chi chuckled. "Tang Ruan, you’re already Level 25. You’re not in the teens anymore. The experience needed to level up now is many times what it used to be. It’s not that easy."
Qi Yue nodded. "That’s right. When the battle results were tallied, I got almost 300,000 experience and went up 7 Levels instantly. Then, I got another 470,000 experience after sleeping, but that only got me 3 Levels. It’s getting harder and harder to level up."
Gu Qing added with a smile, "Even though there are 400 Magical Beasts, we can’t kill them all. We have to leave some for Su Qin and her people."
"Oh, right." Tang Ruan nodded.
After all, the Magical Beasts were Su Qin’s problem. Even though they were a burden, she would surely be willing to let Zhao Chi handle all of them if he asked.
But then Su Qin wouldn’t be able to gain experience and level up, which was also a factor to consider.
Zhao Chi nodded. "Exactly. As a rule, we should only take out about half of them. However, Tang Ruan, you can help Su Qin’s people absorb Damage. Qi Yue, you need to be careful not to kill them too quickly. Gu Qing, you can provide Treatment to both our Soldiers and theirs—just help whoever is injured."
The three women nodded in unison. "Understood."
"What about me?" Zhuang Ya asked, pointing to herself.
"I haven’t seen your combat Abilities firsthand yet. During the fight today, we’ll support you. Let’s see what kind of Effect your Flame has."
"Alright. Watch me burn everything to the ground for you!"
Zhuang Ya clenched her fist. She was smiling, but her expression held a chilling edge.
However, just as it turned 9 AM, Zhao Chi received a notification:
[This is Zhao Qizu.]
[All Lords, please come to the conference room for a meeting. A new war has begun.]
’War?’
’Looks like my guess was right!’
’Muchang bringing all those Alien Race Lords over... he must have been planning to seize territory.’
’He controls at least two villages now, and he must have territory elsewhere.’
’This is the time when warlords vie for supremacy... no, they don’t deserve that term. This is the time of a demonic Chaotic Dance. Every person and family with any Ability is expanding, especially the Alien Races.’
