Chapter 180: Chapter 179: Gu Qing’s Reward

Zhao Chi stood frozen, staring at the Territory Traits, but Gu Qing thought he was still feeling unwell.

"My Lord, are you still unwell? You probably need to rest. Let’s go back."

Gu Qing came forward to support him.

Zhao Chi shook his head. "I’m fine."

Gu Qing said, "It’ll still take some time to get back. Have you recovered your Spiritual Power yet? You can rest inside me, and I’ll carry you back."

Zhao Chi smiled. "Don’t worry about me. You guys head back first. I need to use an item."

"Oh, okay."

Gu Qing obediently let go of his arm.

She led the others and started heading back.

Zhao Chi took out the "Territory Transfer Order" he had acquired not long ago.

It had come from a Silver Treasure Chest that Zhao Quan had given him.

He hadn’t expected it would come in handy right after killing Zhao Ji.

Although Zhao Ji had said he was the only one who had found Zhao Chi’s territory...

...Zhao Chi couldn’t be sure he was telling the truth.

Whatever the case, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Using this transfer order would immediately reset his coordinates.

No one would be able to find his territory using the old coordinates.

He tapped ’Use’.

[You are using the "Territory Transfer Order." Your territory’s coordinates will be randomly reset upon use. Are you sure?]

He tapped ’Confirm’.

In an instant.

The surrounding walls of fog began to swirl with Flying Speed.

It was as if a storm of mist had kicked up around the territory’s perimeter.

But soon, the walls of fog fell still again.

’Looks like the transfer is complete.’

[Territory transfer successful. Your coordinates have been updated.]

’Good.’

Now, all clues that previously pointed to his territory would be useless.

The Effect of the Spiritual Stone Powder had also worn off by now.

It was safe to say that as long as Zhao Chi kept his mouth shut, no one would ever know he was the one who killed Zhao Ji.

’Then again...’

’Even Zhao Ji thought the Lord of this territory was a woman right up until his death.’

’Even if some noble came to investigate, the trail would never lead to me.’

Reassured, Zhao Chi caught up with the transport caravan.

Gu Qing once again snuggled up and held his arm.

The large Wooden Carriage next to them had huge wheels.

The wheels made a noisy SQUEAK-CREAK sound.

Both Zhao Chi and Gu Qing found the sound oddly familiar.

Gu Qing shot Zhao Chi a sideways glance. "My Lord, maybe we should switch to a stone bed? Otherwise, we’ll always be hearing this sound."

Zhao Chi chuckled. "Your moans are much louder than this."

"You’re terrible," she pouted. "Let’s just get a stone bed. If we get another wooden one, it’ll break again in no time."

"Haven’t we been using the table lately? And there’s plenty of times you’re standing, too."

"But doesn’t the table squeak too?"

"So we should get a stone table, too?"

"Oh, that won’t be necessary. But my Lord, why do you have to be so rough? If you were a little gentler next time, the furniture might last longer."

"I can be gentle, of course, but weren’t you the one who told me to go at it hard..."

Before he could finish, Gu Qing reached out and covered his mouth with her hand.

Her palm was slightly damp.

Zhao Chi chuckled, pulling her hand away. "Alright, I’ll stop."

Gu Qing smiled and asked, "My Lord, that Zuo Yuan girl is still alive. Do you want her?"

’Zuo Yuan?’

The face of that arrogant Female Elf appeared in Zhao Chi’s mind.

"No. What would I want her for?"

"What do you mean, ’what for’? You can do whatever you want to her."

Zhao Chi shook his head. "No, I’m not interested."

Gu Qing asked, "My Lord, did you see her just now? She’s very good-looking, and her figure is decent."

"Yes, I saw her before the battle. She certainly has the Appearance of an Elf."

"So... you don’t want a taste? Her personality is quite difficult. If you were to force yourself on her... it could be very fun."

Gu Qing hadn’t entered Zuo Yuan’s room earlier, so she still pictured her as that typical, haughty type of elf.

Of course, even if Zuo Yuan were a chaste elf who valued her purity, Zhao Chi still wouldn’t have taken her.

After all, she had belonged to Zhao Ji.

’Keeping her around would be asking for trouble.’

Zhao Chi waved his hand. "No. Just get rid of her later."

A strange light glinted in Gu Qing’s eyes. "Why? You’re the victor. You have the right to enjoy the spoils."

Zhao Chi smiled. "Enjoying you is more than enough for me. She can’t even begin to compare to you."

Gu Qing pressed, "But we’re different. We’re not the same Type. Doesn’t my Lord want to try something new for a change?"

Zhao Chi scratched his head. "Even if I wanted to... Qi Yue is the same Type as her, and Qi Yue is much better in every way—her Appearance, her figure, and her personality."

Gu Qing glanced at Qi Yue, who was struggling to push a cart nearby.

Then she nodded.

A gentle smile spread across her face.

She seemed very satisfied with Zhao Chi’s answer.

"I understand, my Lord. You’ll get a reward tonight."

"A reward?"

"Hee hee, I learned some new tricks from a book."

Gu Qing winked at him.

Zhao Chi remembered that he had bought her several books before, including one titled "Bedroom Technique."

Zhao Chi laughed. "Sounds great, but we probably won’t have time to switch to a stone bed."

"We won’t need a stone bed. Tonight is all about serving you. Just lie back and enjoy yourself."

Gu Qing’s words certainly made Zhao Chi feel a sense of anticipation.

But now wasn’t the time to relax.

The issue wasn’t danger, but the massive amount of Supplies that needed to be moved.

Besides the 20 large Wooden Carriages, there were also many large and small bundles of Supplies being carried by hand.

The several hundred people from the battle had also moved over a large quantity of basic resources, all of which had to be transported back.

They could take the food, too.

Even if his people didn’t eat it, he could give it to the Harpies and Naga.

Their previous diet was so varied that they weren’t picky at all.

The Harpies each grabbed some Supplies, handling the airlift.

With their four arms, the Naga each carried four bundles, making their Efficiency quite impressive.

Another half an hour passed.

Everyone finally returned to the territory.

The territory was also in a state of utter chaos.

The ground was littered with corpses—more than 400 of them.

But the bodies of the women had already disappeared.

Before leaving, Zhao Chi had watched them slowly sink beneath the ground.

Just as they had when they were born.

After 24 days, they would regenerate their Body and emerge whole once more.

’At least this saves me the trouble of building graves for them.’

Everyone was exhausted.

Zhao Chi ordered everyone to take a bath first and then rest.

In 2 hours, they would all wake up with their Physical Strength fully restored anyway.

Their Efficiency would be too low if they tried to work while this exhausted.

’Best to sharpen the axe before chopping the wood.’

Gu Qing walked over to the nearby battlefield and saw Zuo Yuan still tightly bound in place.

But when she got closer, she saw that Zuo Yuan had already stopped breathing.

Puzzled, Gu Qing bent down to examine the body.

She found that half of the Silk Thread sealing her mouth had vanished. Prying open the jaw, she could see many sticky threads inside the throat.

It seemed Zuo Yuan had been struggling.

Unable to spit out the Silk Thread, she must have tried to swallow it to free her mouth.

But she hadn’t anticipated that Gu Qing’s Silk Thread was far too sticky; even inside her mouth, its viscosity remained extremely high.

When she tried to swallow, it sealed her throat and trachea shut.

She had ultimately suffocated to death.

Gu Qing stood up and dusted off her hands.

"Well, that saves me the trouble."

Soon, everyone began to rest.

The Harpies and Naga had participated in the battle, but since they had only joined in the Pursuit phase, they still had plenty of Physical Strength.

Patrol and guard duty were therefore assigned to them.

Gu Qing and Zhao Chi returned to the Lord’s House together.

Gu Qing was just about to begin, but Zhao Chi pulled her into an embrace.

"Let’s rest first. The night is long. We can spare a little while."

Gu Qing was, in fact, exhausted.

She smiled wearily. "Is my Lord planning on a whole night’s Duration?"

"The Duration I want isn’t just for tonight, but for every single night from now on."
