Tang Ruan smiled. “Understood. Sister Gu also told me to get plenty of sleep today.”
Zhao Chi nodded. “Do as Sister Gu says. In that case, I won’t waste any more time. I’ll get right to making the High Heels from the brand-new material.”
Tang Ruan said with a touch of pride, “Yes, my lord. Please, go on.”
“I’ll help you move them.” Zhuang Ya breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Zhao Chi wasn’t blaming them.
They moved the 350 pieces of Leather Armor onto the Wooden Carriage.
When the large quantity of white Jade Armor was moved into the Tailor’s shop, Qi Yue showed no surprise.
It was as if she already knew.
Zhao Chi sighed. “Seeing your reaction, did you know they were doing this? You managed to hide it so well, though. You’re really something.”
When Zhao Chi was inside Qi Yue’s Body, he could hear her thoughts.
He hadn’t expected Qi Yue to be able to hide it from him.
But Qi Yue shook her head. “I didn’t know. Still, I’m not surprised that Tang Ruan and the others did this. If it were me or Sister Gu Qing, we would have done the same.”
Zhao Chi fell silent.
He knew Qi Yue was telling the truth.
After all, with their Loyalty and Affinity both so high, it was perfectly reasonable for them to sacrifice everything for him.
Zhao Chi felt a stir in his heart.
But he didn’t let it show, instead entering Qi Yue’s Body and beginning to craft.
[Qi Yue]: …
[Zhao Chi]: What’s wrong?
[Qi Yue]: My lord, I can hear your thoughts. You don’t have to blame yourself, nor do you need to feel so much gratitude toward us.
[Zhao Chi]: Mmm… I can’t hide it.
[Qi Yue]: I know. These feelings of yours are too strong; of course you can’t hide them. However… while I truly don’t want you to feel guilty or have other negative emotions, I’m still very happy that you think this way. I’ll tell the others. It will make them happy, too.
[Zhao Chi]: There’s no need to tell them.
[Qi Yue]: Even if it will make them happy?
[Zhao Chi]: Then… do as you wish.
[Qi Yue]: Okay. I won’t disturb you any longer, my lord. Please continue crafting.
[Zhao Chi]: Alright.
「11:00 AM.」
Zhao Chi arrived at Su Qin’s territory with his Female Soldiers.
He was an hour late because he’d been making the High Heels, but naturally, Su Qin didn’t mind.
He and Qi Yue had completed one crafting cycle, producing a total of 72 pairs of flawless, pure-white, flexible Weapon High Heels, all of which had already been distributed.
The shoes could also be dyed different Colors, like black or red.
When Zhao Chi arrived this time, Su Qin acted much more naturally in front of Gu Qing and the others.
She didn’t throw herself at Zhao Chi excitedly like the first time, nor did she deliberately restrain herself like the second.
Like any Ordinary woman, she simply gave him a gentle hug.
Zhao Chi handed her a pair of the High Heels.
“More shoes for me?” Su Qin was pleasantly surprised. “Wow, the Material of these High Heels… it’s so High Level! Smooth and hard, yet also soft and comfortable. This must be a very high-grade material, right?”
Tang Ruan, who was standing nearby, heard every word.
She couldn’t help but smile to herself, pleased.
Zhao Chi didn’t answer her directly, but simply nodded. “That’s right. A very precious Material. The most precious Material.”
“The most precious?” Su Qin was a bit puzzled.
‘The most precious?’ Tang Ruan looked at Zhao Chi with a smile.
“Yes, the most precious,” Zhao Chi repeated.
Although Su Qin didn’t understand, she nodded since Zhao Chi had said it. “I understand. I’ll be sure to treasure them.”
Tang Ruan smiled at Su Qin.
Su Qin didn’t know why Tang Ruan had suddenly smiled at her, but Tang Ruan’s smile was so bright and innocent that Su Qin couldn’t help but smile back.
“Alright, Su Qin. Let’s connect to today’s Magical Beast.”
Su Qin nodded and made the connection.
A sound echoed from the north.
A white wall of fog opened, then closed.
They moved out toward the northern region, using the same team composition and formation as before.
They passed through a bamboo forest.
They crossed the Farmland.
Then entered a forest.
The moment they entered the forest, everyone stopped.
They had spotted the enemy.
A few dozen meters away, a large horde of Skeleton Soldiers was rapidly approaching.
The midday sun filtered through the gaps in the canopy, casting mottled light on the Skeletons’ white bodies.
The Skeletons were completely unaffected; they were not hindered by the sunlight.
Each Skeleton was the Height of a normal person. There were male and female skeletons, distinguishable by their Height.
A more precise way to tell, however, was by their pelvises.
All of them held a Weapon.
The Weapon Types were not uniform; there was a wide variety.
But all were covered in rust.
Some wore tattered Armor—rotting pieces of Leather Armor and decaying scraps of Iron Armor.
But without exception, all of it had low Durability.
A green, spectral light flickered in the Skeletons’ empty eye sockets, darting back and forth as if staring at Zhao Chi and his group.
Upon spotting Zhao Chi’s party, the Skeletons suddenly picked up their pace.
They swarmed forward to surround them.
With no one commanding them, the Skeletons relied on pure instinct, charging forward without a trace of fear.
If anyone had encountered a situation like this back in their original world, they would never have been able to stay calm.
But this wasn’t their original world.
Seeing these Skeletons, Su Qin actually laughed.
“Zhao Chi, I feel like my luck has changed for the better since I’ve been with you. How have we run into such weak enemies two times in a row?”
These Skeletons were indeed weak.
Their total Attributes were only 15 points. Aside from Intelligence, which was 3, their other Attributes were all 4.
An Ordinary woman fighting for her life could probably take on a single Skeleton.
Unfortunately, few Ordinary women could truly fight with one hundred percent of their being, unless it was for their child or a true love.
But these Skeletons all possessed the Fearless Talent and would fight to the death at a moment’s notice.
So, while the Skeletons’ Attributes were poor, their Combat Power was not to be underestimated.
However, they were facing the combined forces of Zhao Chi and Su Qin.
