"Ok!"

 In response, Qian Zhi nodded in confirmation of Lu Li's words, and took him up the stairs to the only lounge here.

 After opening the door with the key and leading Lu Li in, Qian Zhi said, "But I also know that it's not that easy to impress the market of the Seven Kingdoms. Currently, apart from the markets of Fontaine, Liyue, and Inazuma, I have some confidence in them, but I have no idea about other places."

 "I read in the newspaper recently that the people in Mond seem to have been plagued by dragons again, making trade and communication very difficult. Furthermore, the birth rate there has been very low recently, making things very difficult. However, the clothing style and design concept are probably similar to Fontaine's. I think based on Fontaine's standards, the market there shouldn't be much lower."

 "Then there's Natasha, the country I'm least confident in, so I'd better be prepared for failure."

 "Winter is located in the far north of Teyvat, and it's a cold region. I'm not sure if the culture and culture there can provide a market. As for Xumi, I don't have any information either..."

 Looking at Qian Zhi who was now in a state of hesitation and thought on the sofa, Lu Li sat beside her, reached out and gently took her black silk tender feet and placed them on his legs, then gently massaged her calf muscles and said softly: "I do have some experience with Zhidong and Xumi. My identity is a bit special, so that

 I've been to both countries and I understand exactly what your concerns are."

 "Let me be frank, Qianzhi. Both Zhidong and Xumi celebrate New Year, but in terms of the sense of ceremony, they're comparable to Mondstadt, not as vibrant as Liyue. Considering the children's clothing prepared for the markets in these two countries, for Zhidong, you should consider thick, warm winter clothing. As for Xumi, because the two regions are very different—one has a hot and humid climate, the other a dry and hot one—you might want to prepare for both, but it's best not to get your hopes too high. Both countries have the largest gap between the rich and the poor."

 Qian Zhi pursed her lips to enjoy Lu Li's pressure, and nodded slightly to agree with Lu Li's words.

 "For the rich, they can indulge in luxury without having to worry about the market; but for the poor, it's usually the children's parents who make them for them, and rarely do they buy them specifically for their children."

 "I see... Then I think I know how to arrange the key points..."

 Qianzhi nodded in satisfaction and then said softly, "Speaking of which, if this really goes as planned, and I not only gain popularity and expand the market, but also earn a lot of Mora, how should I use this money?"

 "Eh? I don't know. Anyway, don't invest in high-risk investments like futures trading..."

 Hearing this, Qianzhi smiled, and then said softly: "What do you think about buying a property in the suburbs of Fontaine to prepare for the future?"

 Lu Li was slightly stunned, and then asked curiously: "Why do you suddenly ask this..."

 Qianzhi was somewhat helpless, and then said in a complicated tone: "Because recently...my body has been acting strange..."

 "Hey?"

 "There were changes in my menstrual period and some other physical problems, so I guess it might be because I didn't take proper contraception. I might be pregnant..."

 Chapter 98: Chizhi: Fill me up...

 When Lu Li received such news from Qianzhi, he was a little stunned for a moment.

 But soon, noticing Qianzhi's complicated and nervous look, Lu Li immediately knew what kind of statement he should make.

 After all, every time he fought with everyone until the last moment, he often did not choose to drain the flood outside the city, but instead wanted people to reproduce in this way, which was very hateful. Therefore, if such a result really happened, it was actually natural.

 Therefore, although he was a little surprised, Lu Li quickly calmed down. After holding Qian Zhi's hand tightly, he nodded gently: "I understand... Then let's prepare for the future! Qian Zhi, I still have about 7 million Mora in my account at the North Country Bank. You can use it as you like..."

 After he finished speaking, Lu Li took out a black VIP card from his pocket.

 This is an identification card specially provided by the Northland Bank for people with huge deposits. Most of the rewards for all the tasks Lu Li has accepted since he was a child are probably in here.

 He was not lavish with money and never wasted anything. In addition, some of the missions he accepted were extremely dangerous, so the remuneration and insurance were very high, and sometimes he could earn a lot of extra money. Over time, he saved so much money.

 Seven million Mora is neither too little nor too much. It is roughly the total savings of a middle-class family in Fontaine for thirty years.

 All in all, this money will definitely alleviate the financial difficulties of some businessmen, and it is definitely enough to buy a house in the suburbs of Fontaine.

 Seeing that Lu Li was a little flustered and nervous at first, but has now recovered with a relieved expression on his face, Qian Zhi suddenly felt relaxed.

 What she was actually worried about was that... Lu Li was just joking, saying that he would make a solemn vow but in reality he had no awareness or preparation at all.

 But now it seems that at least this guy is responsible.

 She reached out and grabbed the card in Lu Li's hand, but Qian Zhi didn't take it away. Instead, she pushed it back and said softly, "Hmph... You pass."

 Hearing this, Lu Li was a little stunned.

 Pass? Wait, was that a test?

 "It's just as you thought, but there are some details I didn't mention." Qian Zhi saw Lu Li's expression and naturally knew what he was thinking. At this moment, she said softly, "At the time, I also thought it might be pregnancy, but after consulting a doctor, I found out that it was actually a normal physiological phenomenon. I used contraception very well, and there was no... pregnancy."

 "Sharing this case with you was a test for me, and it also reflected my psychological struggle during that time."

 Qian Zhi retracted her legs at this moment, sat on the sofa and snuggled in Lu Li's arms, and said softly at this moment: "At that time... before going to see the doctor, I was actually mentally prepared..."

 "If I was really pregnant... I would have planned to give birth to the baby. This was the decision I made after careful consideration. But I didn't expect that after asking and checking, the results I got would be so ridiculous."

 Lu Li gently hugged Qian Zhi and listened quietly.

 In this way, he also understood what Qianzhi meant...

 "So, Chiori, if this was an accident and you ultimately chose to accept it... will you accept the certainty that arises next time?"

 "Yes, I will."

 Qianzhi said softly: "It's really strange... When I was with you, I always thought that now is not the right time, and what I want is not the emotional ties that I will entrust to my whole life, but the kind of love that is available at any time, full of freedom and...

 The need to be too responsible leads to a lot of trouble later on, but..."

 "In short, I thought a lot during that time. Although the results were not what I expected, the resolution I made while walking along the road did not cool down even after I learned about it... So, Lu Li..."

 "Once that feeling arises, I will keep thinking about it in my heart. You know, I am not a person who likes to give up or abandon the smooth thoughts in my heart, and I don't like to speak in a roundabout way..."

 At this moment, Qian Zhi in his arms raised her head and looked straight into Lu Li's eyes.

 "Didn't you ask me at that time how I felt about you?"

 Lu Li nodded slightly, and then said with some complexity: "Well, I remember your answer, that you treat me as... a companion who is always available?"

 He remembered it very clearly. After all, Chizhi was his first woman in this world. How could he not have a deep impression of her?

 But the situation at that time, well... she considered herself a running buddy.

 This dealt a heavy blow to Lu Li's heart. You know, his idea of ​​Qian Zhi was not to be available at any time and not care about her personal affairs.

 "Yes, but it's different now."

 Chihiro said calmly.

 "Lu Li, I'm in love with you, so let's really have a child. After this, I won't use contraception anymore."

 Looking at Qianzhi's determined expression, Lu Li widened his eyes.

 Then, he asked with some complexity, "Really? But didn't you say that your career is more important?"

 "Yes... My career is indeed important, but I can't forget that feeling. During that time, I often dreamed of a pale, faceless baby..."

 There was an infinite tenderness in Qianzhi's eyes.

 "It's just that things didn't go as planned, but that doesn't mean it will become a regret. I can't fulfill it..."

 "So this time, you really want your dream to come true?"

 "Yes! Career is important, and so are dreams, but if I can let my most adorable little one witness the ultimate achievement of my mother's career from a young age, then I think it's acceptable no matter how difficult it is."

 Hearing Qian Zhi's reply, Lu Li knew that her will would never waver. His eyes gradually became hot and warm. "I understand... But I can't guarantee that you will be successful this time even if you don't use contraception..."

 "Then come a few more times," Qianzhi licked her lips and said softly, "Today... is my dangerous day."

 "Lu Li, fill me up, I think there will be no problem!"

 After hearing such vicious words, Lu Li took a deep breath and could no longer bear it.

 This kind of Inazuma beauty, who is cold and noble in front of others and charming and affectionate behind others, really makes people unable to stop with every word and every action...

 Lu Li said no more, he would help Qianzhi realize her dream next.

 He longed to see the thundering tailor's gentle appearance with a big belly in the future...

 Once a thought arises, the raging flame can never be extinguished.

 The next moment, as Lu Li gently untied the ribbon under the flower, the golden haori quietly fell off.

 Chapter 99: No pain, no gain

 Although she had made up her mind about her desire, when it came to actually doing it, it only took about half an hour, and Qianzhi almost couldn't think at all.

 Sticking out her tongue, rolling her eyes, and holding her neck with her hands to support her limp body so that she wouldn't fall down helplessly, was the limit of what Chizhi could do at the moment.

 Although she had made up her mind and decided to put it into practice, when it came to the actual situation, she realized one thing: that making up her mind and putting it into practice are actually quite difficult things.

 In the past, he and Linnet had to share the firepower, which was how they could withstand the whipping that was like a tidal wave.

 Now, without Linnet by her side, Chizhi knows what it feels like to bear it all alone.

 Qian Zhi originally thought that she could survive and enjoy this journey. After all, before Linnet, she actually had a lot of experience fighting Lu Li alone, so subconsciously, she felt that she could do it.

 But now that it was finally his turn to resist alone again, he discovered that compared to his own progress, Lu Li's progress was even more terrifying.

 It’s not that Qianzhi can’t withstand the bombardment, but if she is constantly being plowed by heavy objects like this, she will definitely not be able to maintain the strength to resist.

 That's why her performance at this moment seems so unbearable.

 After completing this forced march and setting up camp on the spot in the mud, and completing the last step of plowing the field by fertilizing deep in the flower field, Lu Li hugged the convulsing Qian Zhi, breathed softly at this moment, and stood up while hugging her.

 He can now be said to have safely mastered the power of the Three Thousand Flames and the Madman Armor. The excellent endurance brought by these two has benefited Lu Li immensely. Therefore, even if the machine is kept running at high speed for a long time, there will still be no problem in running it.

 Previously, Lu Li thought that it would be great if his combat ability could be increased several times in this situation. As a result, the effect was far better than he imagined. The previous situation was actually because Lu Li had not fully adapted to the improvement of his physical ability.

 At this moment, Lu Li hugged Qian Zhi, who was a whole head shorter than him and whose body was weak and limp. He supported her upright center of gravity to ensure that she would not slip.

 At this moment, one could clearly hear Qianzhi's uncalmed breathing.

 "It's only the first time... Chiori, are you still able to accept it?"

 "Hmm...it's ok...but it's too much. Let me take it easy. Also, I want to drink some water..."

 As she spoke, Qianzhi raised her head at this moment, her beautiful eyes sparkling with water, looking particularly charming.

 I'm afraid it's hard for outsiders to imagine that this fashion designer, who they think is cold and noble, can actually have such a stunning and charming scene?

 At this time, Lu Li nodded slightly when he heard this. Although he was also a little thirsty, he was not as severely dehydrated as Qianzhi.

 This is also the reason why he picked up Qianzhi and made her stand up at this moment, giving her support.

 The reason is precisely because the sofa can no longer be sat on.

 After opening a bottle of water on the table, Lu Li asked Qianzhi to drink the water first to replenish her water. After she had drunk nearly three-quarters of the water and felt that it was enough, he took the bottle she handed over and drank all the remaining water in it.

 Then, he brought Chizhi, whose legs and feet were a little weak, to a wall.

 Following his signal, Minglei's tailor immediately knew what this bad guy was thinking.

 Although she felt a little embarrassed, her body's instinct and her heart's desire made Qianzhi turn her attention obediently at this moment, and at this moment she stretched out her hand and gently leaned against the wall.

 Chizhi is actually very flexible. While designing clothes on a daily basis, she also practices her swordsmanship.

 This is why she is so skilled in dual-wielding and why her sewing skills are so exceptional.

 The excellence of martial arts is naturally inseparable from the refinement and practice of physical fitness.

 Therefore, Chizhi also possesses excellent body flexibility.

 She could even do a very standard split while holding onto the wall with one hand and grabbing her calf with the other. Lu Li knew this after he had used some careful thinking to get what he wanted.

 But now, Lu Li certainly wouldn't let Qianzhi do that.

 After all, Qianzhi still had enough physical strength at that time, but it is obvious that Qianzhi does not have this physical strength now. Therefore, if Qianzhi is really forced to do it, she should be willing, but she may not be able to give Lu Li more feedback afterwards.

 So, not worth it.

 And more importantly, the arched bridge posture presented by Qianzhi at this moment is also extremely graceful.

 Lu Li, who was in this position, could clearly see the valley of water and grass that had become fertile due to farming.

 That was the result of his hard work as a farmer. Looking at it now, he felt extremely fulfilled and very excited.

 So Lu Li's warlike spirit was activated again at this moment, and he was ready to continue to satisfy the desires of both sides of the battle.

 Then, as expected, as Lu Li took the initiative to fight again, the resistance forces from Qianzhi directly surrounded him.

 Obviously, Qianzhi was also responding in her own way.

 Feeling this way, Lu Li naturally couldn't stop.

 Although the road ahead had been cleared before, it was covered with mud again as time went by.

 However, compared to the resistance of the army, this muddy terrain is actually a better place for marching.

 He took the lead, charging forward like a medieval knight, leaning on an unstoppable spear.

 The muddy resistance was as vulnerable as wheat waves bent by the wind, until Lu Li knocked on the city gate, causing the people in the inner city to convulse.

 With the tribute of Baijiang Jiu, Lu Li withdrew his troops and gave Qianzhi a brief chance to catch her breath.

 At the same time, Lu Li himself did not stop there.

 If you want to complete the military advance, it is impossible to do so without a reliable logistics base.
