"What are you two trying?"
Gu Qing suddenly pushed the door open.
"Eek!"
Tang Ruan jumped back in fright.
She looked at Gu Qing guiltily. "Sister Gu, you're back? I... I'm going to go grill some meat for the others..."
Tang Ruan scurried away.
Leaving Zhao Chi with his hand still outstretched.
Gu Qing watched Tang Ruan run off with a puzzled look, then turned to Zhao Chi. "Why did she run off like that?"
Zhao Chi shook his head. "Are you all done with your baths?"
"Mm, everyone's outside eating now. But we're short on clothes, so we'll need to make more tomorrow."
"Okay. Ten more people will arrive tomorrow. I'll create some more Tailors."
"Mm." Gu Qing closed the door.
She approached, her body swaying delicately.
"Lord, did you give me a new Skill?"
"It's not a Skill. It's an Improved Gene."
Gu Qing asked in surprise, "Genes? The kind you get from a Racial Bloodline?"
"That's right."
