Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Battle Settlement

Zhao Chi controlled Qi Yue’s body, his blade a constant blur.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

Another Continuous Dance sent three Flower Demons crashing to the ground.

They each still had one wing, but they couldn’t fly with just a single wing.

The Female Soldiers behind them immediately rushed forward, easily ripping off the remaining ones.

Qi Yue, with her one good eye, watched the angle of the blade swings intently.

She mentally memorized the current posture.

She planned to practice it when she got back.

’The Lord is so amazing! This Combat Skill can even attack three people separately? I could take out three enemies in a second with this!’

’I have to practice this hard after the battle. It looks like it requires swinging my hips.’

’I only have one eye left that I can use now. I wonder if it will recover?’

’If it doesn’t recover, the Lord won’t despise me, will he?’

’But it’s okay. I’ll just work twice as hard and obey him twice as much.’

Thoughts continued to race through Qi Yue’s mind.

Suddenly, a flash of light lit up the sky.

The light descended.

It shot into the bodies of all the nearby women.

Qi Yue felt her other eye seem to improve slightly; she could at least open it a crack.

"Gu Qing? Are you done on your end?"

Qi Yue’s gentle voice was hoarse.

"Hehe, of course I’m done, Lord. This is my home turf, after all."

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT!

Gu Qing opened her small mouth, and several streams of white fluid shot out, firmly sticking to the bodies and wings of several Flower Demons.

Unable to beat their wings, they all plummeted.

At the same time, Gu Qing’s hands were also shooting out a large number of red Silk Threads.

The Silk Threads formed a fine, intricate web.

They indiscriminately attacked almost everyone nearby.

However, even if the threads landed on the Female Soldiers, they could tear them away.

But when they landed on the Flower Demons, they lacked such an Ability.

Soon, all the nearby Flower Demons were grounded.

Gu Qing limped over. "Qi Yue, Lord, it seems you both have swollen eyes. For me, I’m seeing double, my legs are stiff, and... ACHOO! I keep sneezing."

At that moment, a system notification appeared.

[Congratulations, Battle Won!]

[Battle summary is as follows]:

[Participants] Total 362: 162 on our side, 200 enemy Flower Demons.

[Enemies Defeated] 200 Flower Demons

[Combat Difficulty] Ordinary

[Combat Performance] Perfect

[Battle Result] Total Victory

[Experience Bonus] 200%

[Team Contribution] 100%

[Team Experience] 30,000

[Individual Contribution] 8%

[Personal Experience] 2,400

[Congratulations, your Level has increased to Level 9. You have gained 2 Enhancement Points.]

The experience gained this time wasn’t that much.

This was mainly because Gu Qing had taken a huge share of the experience.

Her performance was outstanding.

She had taken care of nearly half of the Flower Demons all by herself.

It was no exaggeration to call her the MVP of the entire battle.

On top of that, she had also administered Treatment to everyone, which gave her additional Treatment Contribution Value.

Her Attack Contribution Value plus her Treatment Contribution Value gave Gu Qing the highest Contribution Value on the field, so she also received the largest share of experience.

She wasn’t trying to hog the experience intentionally.

But this was battle.

One was expected to give it their all.

Besides, Zhao Chi was just as happy that Gu Qing had received so much experience.

Zhao Chi had been able to level up twice entirely because he had accumulated a lot of experience from making Silk Stockings earlier.

Gu Qing, who had been one Level behind him, had now caught up directly.

Tang Ruan also reached Level 9 this time.

Her experience gain wasn’t low either.

She had taken the most pollen Damage on the field, and her entire being, both mind and Body, had become very strange.

But no matter how strange, it was merely the effect of the toxins.

The Flower Demons’ toxins were varied, but they rarely had any truly potent poison powders.

In any case, suffering the most poison on the battlefield proved that Tang Ruan had shouldered a considerable burden for her teammates.

The system had mainly assigned her Defense Contribution Value, and the amount was not small.

Coupled with the experience she’d gained making Silk Stockings with Zhao Chi, her Level also caught up to Level 9.

The other Female Soldiers and female artisans all leveled up as well.

Those at lower Levels even gained 2 Levels.

There was no loot from this battle.

But the Flower Demons themselves were the loot.

Two hundred pitiful Little Fairies, all with their wings broken.

Without their wings, they could do nothing with those slender arms and legs.

They could only be obediently captured.

They could only hope that Zhao Chi wouldn’t do anything to them that crossed a moral line.

But they were overthinking it.

With a woman like Gu Qing, the Exquisite Pleasure, standing guard, these Little Flower Demons couldn’t possibly catch Zhao Chi’s discerning eye.

These Flower Demons had practically no melee capabilities, only the Ability to inflict negative status effects.

But that was usually enough.

An ordinary person would be scared off by a single poisoning.

An ordinary person couldn’t even imagine being afflicted with a "hundred poisons" like Tang Ruan was.

Furthermore, all the women here possessed Fearless, so they charged forward even into clouds of poison powder.

They also all had a decent 6 points in Constitution.

All these factors contributed to the lopsided Battle Result.

When the dust settled, Gu Qing administered a few more rounds of Treatment and confirmed that while all the women were in a strange state, none had suffered any life-threatening Damage.

It wasn’t appropriate to do anything in their current State.

Zhao Chi locked the 200 Flower Demons in the warehouse and had the women take a bath and rest.

Now, with the wholehearted submission of the Harpies and the Naga patrolling the perimeter, there was no longer a need to post sentries for the night.

「Two hours later.」

After all the women had taken a nap, their Abnormal States had mostly subsided.

Gu Qing was like an octopus.

Her arms and legs were wrapped around Zhao Chi as she slept soundly.

Zhao Chi carefully tapped the system to check for information.

[Stream Village Quota Notice Board]

[Date] September 10

[Quota] 25,000

[Diversion] 12,500

[Processed] 8,744

[Xiao Family] 2,500

[Qi Family] 1,876

[Liu Family] 1,577

[Zhao Family] 1,569

[Independents] 1,222

The Xiao Family was as strong as ever, the undisputed number one.

Although the Qi Family was second, there was still a noticeable gap between them and the Xiao Family.

When Zhao Chi was in school, there had been similar diversions.

Back then, Zhao Chi wasn’t a Lord, so he hadn’t cared at all.

But he knew that since that time, the Zhao Family had always been at the bottom.

Sometimes, they were even worse off than the independents.

This time, however, they were neck and neck with the Liu Family.

The gap with the Qi Family also wasn’t as large as he remembered.

However, this was just a ranking by quantity.

If it were ranked by Equivalent Tier, the results might be different.

But Zhao Chi couldn’t see any other information.

For now, he could only look at this.

Besides this information, there were also several voice calls in the system from members of the Xiao Family.

But without exception, he had rejected them all.

However, when a voice call now came in from his cousin, Zhao Huai, Zhao Chi decided to answer.

"Hello, Eleventh Brother," Zhao Chi said.

"Zhao Chi," Zhao Huai began, "did you curse out Xiao Rui from the Xiao Family? And you stole his Flower Demons? I can’t make heads or tails of it. What the hell is going on?"

"Xiao Rui? Oh, right. He called me just before the battle and started cursing me out. I couldn’t hold back, so I cursed him right back."

"Hehehe, not bad! I heard he’s about to lose his mind. He’s been frantically sending the Xiao Family to demand an explanation from our people, but none of the uncles are paying them any mind. In the end, though, Xiao Zhiyi contacted our Second Uncle, so Second Uncle asked me to find out what happened," Zhao Huai said.
