Hero Integration

Zhao Chi rarely came to the exchange.

He did not know this time, but he would know the next.

Soon, he bought another bag of 10-kilogram rice at counter number 15, spending 98 copper coins.

After returning to counter number 8, he paid the tax fee of 3 copper coins.

In this way, the fabric and rice could be legally transported into the territory.

The registration was complete.

Zhao Chi immediately ran home.

Snowfield City also had requirements for the lord's teleportation.

One could not teleport at will.

Teleportation was only allowed at designated locations.

Such as home, or the Academy.

After all, if people could teleport at will, anyone, or even any army, might teleport out at any place and at any time.

This could easily cause chaos.

If utilized by outlaws, it would also cause massive destruction.

It would heavily impact public security and create severe uncertainty.

Therefore, the teleportation function was set with a barrier.

It could only be used through limited locations.

Zhao Chi could understand this regulation and strongly supported it.

Chapter 11: Bathing by the River

Zhao Chi quickly returned home.

His stamina consumption was severe.

Yet he did not pause, immediately clicking teleport.

Amidst his heavy breathing, the scenery before his eyes shifted.

The next moment, he arrived in the territory.

He discovered that the holes generated by the birth of those women beside the lord's house had been filled.

The 1-cubic-meter toolbox beside it had also vanished.

He panted, pushing open the room door.

There was no one inside.

Yet the toolbox was in the room.

The tools inside had decreased by some.

Gu Qing and the others must have moved them in.

But where did they go?

Zhao Chi placed the package and rice in the room, coming out to search for their traces.

He lowered his head and looked.

He saw a large arrow drawn on the mud ground.

The arrow pointed east.

Zhao Chi returned to the room to fetch a firewood saber, then slowly advanced along the arrow.

He walked into the woods.

The grass on the ground had also been artificially cleared.

He could clearly see the markers left for Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi proceeded along the markers.

Not long after, through the gaps between trees, he saw a river.

This must have been that small river he chose to configure.

Yet this river was not small at all.

The width was about 10 meters.

The current was not considered rapid.

The river water was pale green, yet very transparent.

Fish could occasionally be seen swimming past.

All those women were in the water not far away.

They were carefully washing their bodies.

Chattering and speaking while washing.

Three women stood on the bank.

They had already washed clean, and were tidying up their damp hair.

Holding firewood sabers or axes in their hands.

They should have been concurrently keeping watch.

Gu Qing was also among them.

She had now washed her body clean.

Without the obstruction of mud, various sceneries were in full view.

Plump and full.

Wasp waist and plump buttocks.

Long legs and jade feet.

Zhao Chi merely glanced at her before lowering his head.

Although they were territory residents, he still had to care for their feelings.

Otherwise, loyalty would drop.

Besides, matters of this kind required wholehearted willingness.

He lowered his head and walked toward that group of bathing women.

It was not to look more clearly, but merely to protect them.

After all, they were all women, which was very unsafe.

As a man and a lord, he naturally had the obligation to protect them.

Gu Qing was looking around.

Seeing Zhao Chi, her eyebrows raised, and she happily said, "Ah! Lord is back."

The surrounding women stopped talking, all looking over.

Zhao Chi felt a bit nervous unexpectedly.

He took a deep breath, strode closer, and came directly before Gu Qing.

His gaze had only glanced at her body just now, and only now did he see her countenance.

Yet this time, Zhao Chi's gaze did not shift away again.

After all, looking at a face was not considered offensive.

Moreover, Zhao Chi did not want to shift his gaze away.

Gu Qing, having washed up, appeared even more charming.

Willow eyebrows, seductive eyes, red lips.

Delicate cheeks, white tinged with red.

Zhao Chi confirmed she was bare-faced right now.

That being said, the red on her cheeks and lips was her own natural color.

Although without makeup, she naturally possessed a certain allure.

Coupled with her faint smile.

This was the reason Zhao Chi did not want to shift his gaze away.

"What is it, Lord? Why keep looking at me?" Gu Qing chuckled.

Only then did Zhao Chi snap back to his senses. "Oh... um... how is it, is it still safe?"

"Mm, it's safe."

Zhao Chi asked, "I brought some old bedsheets and fabric, you can make simple clothes, right?"

Gu Qing nodded. "Of course, no problem."

Zhao Chi sighed. "For now, I can only wrong you all by using old fabric, but I will definitely let you wear good clothes in the future."

Hearing these words, Gu Qing put away her smile.

Very earnestly, she said, "Lord, you must not say that. You are willing to take us in and find materials for us to make clothes to wear, and this is already very good. Everyone knows the territory has just been built and everything is in short supply, so we won't mind such minor matters."

The other female villagers also nodded.

"That's right, Lord, there's no need to care about such minor matters."

"Anyway, it's summer right now, it's fine just to cover the body a bit."

"We all believe in you, Lord."

Zhao Chi felt somewhat moved.

"Alright, then go ahead and wash, next time I will bring some shampoo and body wash over."
