Chapter 382: Chapter 292: Rapid Development (6)

"What do you mean, ’not a loss’?" Zhao Chi said, speechless. "Xiao Ning’s Appearance is starting to look more and more like those of the Alien Race."

Gu Qing smiled. "I was just joking. I don’t want any of those other women touching you, either. But this is definitely good enough. My Lord, you should rest a bit more, and then you can go."

"Alright." Zhao Chi lay on the bed, his mind blank.

But he was still hearing things.

It seemed as if their gentle, melodious voices still lingered in his ears.

Gu Qing said to Tang Ruan and Qi Yue, "You two can go get cleaned up. My Lord and I will discuss our strategy for a while longer."

"Mhm, okay."

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue cleaned up the room and then left.

Gu Qing gently pressed herself against Zhao Chi’s side. "My Lord, let’s do a practice run of the scenario."

"Okay."

"Alright, so now I’m the difficult Xiao Ning, and I’m going to give you a hard time... Oh my, so handsome~"

"Gu Qing, be serious."

"Mhm, hehe."

「1:00 PM.」

Zhao Chi took the Spiritual Stone and walked through the gates of the Xiao Family estate.

As expected, he was stopped by Alien Race Soldiers.

"What do you want?"

"I’m Zhao Chi. I’m here to deliver something to Xiao Ning."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"...I need an appointment for this?"

"What do you think? Lady Muchang isn’t someone just anyone can see."

’Looks like meeting Xiao Ning is going to be difficult.’

Zhao Chi contacted Xiao Ning directly through the system.

Xiao Ning: "Zhao Chi? You’re looking for me? What for?"

Zhao Chi: "I’ve come to deliver a gift. I am now honored to be a Vassal Lord of our Holy Race, so I’ve come to pay my respects to my new superior."

Xiao Ning’s voice was filled with utter astonishment.

"What? You’re giving me a gift? Hahaha, Zhao Chi, you really are pathetic. Fine, come on in."

Zhao Chi: "Your guards at the gate won’t let me in."

Xiao Ning: "Don’t worry, I’ll let them know. Come on in, you spineless worm. Hahaha."

In the past, Zhao Chi would have definitely felt humiliated.

But this time, he had come prepared.

If you want to catch a fish, you first have to cast the bait.

’Besides, what fisherman gets angry at the fish?’

The Alien Race Soldiers at the gate stepped back, and one said in a raspy voice, "Zhao Chi, you may enter."

Zhao Chi strode inside.

The moment he stepped through the door, he heard Xiao Ning’s laughter.

"Hahahaha, Iwagaki, you have no idea. Just now, Zhao Chi was whining to me, ’The guards won’t let me in.’ Hahahaha."

The Alien Race Lord beside her, Iwagaki, twisted his mouth into a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes.

He had a woman pinned under his foot.

She was completely naked and so badly mutilated she was on the verge of death.

Although she was hard to recognize, Zhao Chi saw at a glance that it was a Vassal Lord from the Qi Family.

’I wonder how she managed to anger Xiao Ning.’

Xiao Ning said, "Alright, Iwagaki, hurry up and kill her. Don’t let her be an eyesore."

But Iwagaki simply took her into his territory. "She’s not dead yet. I can still play with her."

Xiao Ning didn’t say anything more and turned to look at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi sighed and strode forward.

He made his tone as gentle as possible. "You seem to be in a good mood, Xiao Ning. I acquired this Spiritual Stone some time ago and couldn’t bring myself to use it. Now, it’s yours."

"Just this crappy Spiritual Stone? You have the nerve to bring this out... Huh? Are you Zhao Chi?"

Xiao Ning’s mocking smile froze.

It was replaced by a strange expression that crept across her face.

Iwagaki, who had been looking on with disdain, now narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Zhao Chi.

Iwagaki was male.

Zhao Chi’s incredible attractiveness not only held no appeal for him but also provoked a strong sense of hostility.

"You, stop right there! Don’t move!" Iwagaki warned.

Zhao Chi stopped immediately.

But his eyes remained fixed on Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning licked her lips and swallowed.

"Zhao Chi? Come a little closer."

Zhao Chi glanced at Iwagaki, whose Killing Intent intensified.

Xiao Ning said, displeased, "Iwagaki, what are you doing? Zhao Chi is my subordinate Lord. Don’t you dare scare him."

Iwagaki didn’t say a word, just stared at Zhao Chi with a cold sneer.

Zhao Chi slowly walked forward and handed the Spiritual Stone to Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning took it casually, placing it on the wooden table beside her without even a glance.

Her eyes kept sweeping over Zhao Chi’s face, her expression a mixture of extreme confusion and amazement.

"Zhao Chi, was what you said just now true? Do you really think becoming my vassal is a good thing?"

An expectant look actually appeared on her face.

"It’s all true."

Zhao Chi lied through his teeth without a shred of guilt.

"You... I know you don’t really mean it, but there’s nothing I can do. I also need to use your resources to improve myself. We may have had our conflicts in the past, but from now on, under my command, you’ll definitely soar to new heights!"

Zhao Chi couldn’t help but marvel.

’This Appearance really is useful.’

Xiao Ning was actually starting to explain herself voluntarily.

Zhao Chi smiled. "I’m just a Junior Lord with a single Village Level territory. Why don’t you make those High Level Lords your vassals?"

Iwagaki roared, "Insolence! Is that something you’re qualified to ask?"

"Hey! Iwagaki, don’t be so aggressive." Xiao Ning stopped Iwagaki and then actually answered Zhao Chi’s question.

"Those High Level Lords need to preserve their strength for battle. If I make them my vassals, who will fight the powerful enemies? Besides, making Junior Lords like you my vassals generally doesn’t have much of an impact. If I were to forcibly vassalize a High Level Lord, I’d have to worry about them rebelling. That would just be more trouble for me in the end."

Zhao Chi nodded. "Thank you for explaining that to me. Here are 200 High Level Pills. These are for you, too."

"High Level Pills?" Xiao Ning looked at Zhao Chi happily. "No need. I have plenty of this kind of Medicine. You should keep them."

Zhao Chi smiled. "I don’t really have anything better to offer at the moment. But after we win this upcoming battle, if I get any good spoils of war, I’ll bring them to you first thing."

"Hahaha," Xiao Ning laughed. "Alright. I don’t care if you’re being sincere or just faking it. As long as you keep this up, if I’m eating meat, you’ll get some soup!"

Iwagaki’s brows furrowed deeply. "My Lady... don’t be deceived..."

"Deceived? Deceive me of what? He’s already signed the vassal agreement. What could he possibly deceive me of?"
