Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

They were busy for a long time.

All the supplies had been brought back.

With the large wooden carriages, their carrying capacity had greatly increased.

However, Zhao Chi’s territory was full of trees, so they had to constantly weave left and right, which was inconvenient.

Later, he would need to plan a ring road around the territory, along with some main roads, which would make getting around much more convenient.

The bodies of the Blood Race and Zhao Ji’s people were piled together.

A large amount of kerosene was poured over them, followed by a lot of scrap wood, and then the pile was set on fire.

Though the Blood Race weren’t Human, their body structure was similar.

They also contained a large amount of fat.

Their bodies were also fundamentally carbon-based.

They too would fuel the flames and burn.

The great fire burned more and more fiercely, its flames soaring into the sky.

The bright flames illuminated the entire territory.

A strange smell permeated the air.

The Naga kept their serpentine eyes fixed on the bonfire, swallowing repeatedly.

The Harpies were afraid of fire and didn’t dare get too close.

At this moment, what distinction was there between noble, Human, and Blood Race?

They were all just charred carbon.

Zhao Ji’s body burned as one with the corpses of the Blood Race.

In the end, they all turned into white ash.

The female villagers cleaned the surrounding area, sweeping all the ashes into a single pile.

The remains of more than 400 people had been reduced to such a small mound.

It looked like a grave mound for a single person.

In the end, this mound of ash was also disposed of.

After the cremation was complete, Zhao Chi once again smelled the faint, elusive fragrance of the Arousing Atmosphere.

It was very faint.

And it vanished again just as quickly.

’He figured it was purifying the smell from the burning bodies.’

The air became fresh again.

Zhao Ji and all his subordinates had now vanished completely, without a trace.

The furnace in the Blacksmith’s Shop was also burning.

One by one, the bloodstained pieces of Black Armor were thrown in, slowly melting into red-hot molten iron.

Then, they were once again turned into iron ingots.

Black Iron Armor wasn’t made of Black Iron; it was essentially still iron.

It had been enhanced with some kind of material—a technique of the nobility that Zhao Chi didn’t understand.

In this battle, his side had lost 40 Peach Blossom Women.

Twenty female soldiers, twenty female craftsmen.

Although it was heartbreaking, the outcome was indeed acceptable.

After all, since they could be revived, the pain of life-and-death farewells was greatly diminished.

But that didn’t mean he could be completely unconcerned.

After all, they had fought hard before they died and had suffered immensely when they were killed.

After a busy night, the sky slowly began to brighten.

The ten newly arrived women looked around, bewildered.

This time, Zhao Chi converted an additional five women into Refiners.

[Profession]Refiner

[Level]Basic

[Skills]Smelting +5

[Attributes]Enhancement Points +5

Previously, the smelting work had always been handled by the female blacksmiths as a side job.

Separating the roles now would save the blacksmiths a lot of time, allowing them to focus more on forging.

A Smelting Workshop had been built last night.

It could be put into use today.

From among the five new Refiners, Zhao Chi chose a woman with a good personality to be the smelting Team Leader.

[Smelting Team Leader]Shen Lian

Shen Lian hadn’t expected to be made a team leader on her very first day here.

She hurriedly thanked Zhao Chi, "Thank you for your trust, my Lord. I will do my absolute best and work hard."

Zhao Chi smiled. "I have faith in you all. Go take a bath with Gu Qing, and then get something to eat."

Now that they had a Smelting Workshop and Refiners, the thousand-plus Short Swords and the several hundred sets of Black Iron Armor could be quickly melted down into Iron Ingots.

The luxury goods and the Jade Bone Longbows had already been tightly bound by Gu Qing’s Silk Spinning.

They were then wrapped for protection.

Finally, they were buried deep in the ground.

At this point, aside from the Equipment that still needed time to be smelted, everything else had been taken care of.

Zhao Chi opened the system again to check the various communication groups.

He had opened it many times throughout the night.

But there was absolutely no information about Zhao Ji.

That was to be expected.

After all, Zhao Chi operated in the world of commoners.

He had no contact with the nobility whatsoever.

Even if the nobility was currently using their means to search for Zhao Ji, Zhao Chi would have no way of knowing.

Since that was the case, he wouldn’t get distracted by such matters anymore.

Focusing on his own development was the right path.

In the hot spring, besides Zhao Chi, there were also many female craftsmen.

The ten newcomers were in there as well.

They looked around curiously.

They discovered that everyone was very natural about bathing with Zhao Chi, all chatting and playing in the water among themselves.

The ten new women quickly accepted all of this and began to relax a little.

They stopped trying to modestly cover their bodies and started to carefully wash the dirt from their skin.

Xia Jing swam by, and Zhao Chi called out to her.

Xia Jing stopped. "Hm? Did you call for me, my Lord? What is it? Do you want to know about our mining progress?"

Zhao Chi smiled. "I’m not worried about your work at all; with you in charge, I don’t even need to ask. I wanted to ask if you’ve smelled the scent in the air."

"The scent in the air?"

"Yes, since last night."

Xia Jing looked up, thinking back.

"Hmm... I think so. A fragrance seems to drift through our forest sometimes. It doesn’t seem to be from flowers, and I’ve never smelled this kind of fragrance before."

"Exactly. Do you get any special feeling when you smell it?"

"A special feeling?" Xia Jing gave Zhao Chi a puzzled look.

"Yes, something different from before."

"Hmm... no. I just think it smells very nice and I want to smell more of it. But it’s so faint and elusive. If I try to smell it carefully, it disappears."

"I see. You can go back to your swim."

"Okay."

Xia Jing happily continued swimming around.

A short while later, Tang Ruan and Qi Yue arrived together.

Qi Yue took the new villagers to eat, while Tang Ruan entered the hot spring, greeted Zhao Chi, and then went to find Gu Qing.

Normally, it was Tang Ruan who took the new villagers to eat.

’It seems something was different today.’

Zhao Chi noticed Tang Ruan’s cheeks were flushed as she walked straight over to Gu Qing.

Then she leaned close and whispered something in Gu Qing’s ear.

Her face grew redder as she spoke.

By the end, even her neck and chest were flushed a pale red.

He was a little too far away to hear what they were saying.

’But it’s definitely about me.’

Because after Tang Ruan finished whispering in her ear, Gu Qing nodded gently and then looked over at Zhao Chi with a smile.

Tang Ruan glanced at him as well before quickly turning away.

Then, the two of them started whispering again.

Zhao Chi watched them curiously.

Suddenly, he noticed a flash of white in the spring water by their legs that vanished just as quickly.

’It looked a bit like Silk Paste.’

’But that can’t be right.’

’Because there was some by Tang Ruan’s legs, too.’

Zhao Chi stopped watching. Gu Qing would definitely tell him what was going on anyway.

Gu Qing was a shrewd woman, but she was 100% open with him, which was an excellent trait.

Zhao Chi trusted her completely.

Gu Qing had also found it strange just now.

She had also noticed that Qi Yue, not Tang Ruan, had taken the new villagers to eat today.

And Tang Ruan hadn’t clung to Zhao Chi’s side as she usually did; instead, she had come over to find her.

’What’s wrong with this little one?’

Soon, Tang Ruan was beside her, hesitating with her head lowered.

Gu Qing smiled. "What’s wrong? Why did you come looking for me today? Don’t you usually stick to the Lord’s side whenever you have a spare moment?"

Tang Ruan smiled, her cheeks faintly red.

Gu Qing was taken aback. "Your face is so red. Are you sick? Do you want me to give you some Treatment?"

She reached out to feel Tang Ruan’s forehead.

But in the hot spring, it was warm everywhere, so she couldn’t tell anything by touch.

Tang Ruan shook her head. "No, it’s just... I don’t know what’s going on. Ever since last night, my body has felt strange."

"Strange? Are you poisoned? We just confiscated some Antitoxic Pills. Do you want to take one?"

"No... it has nothing to do with Antitoxic Pills."

"Not that either? What is it, then? You can tell me anything. There’s nothing you can’t say to me, is there?"

Tang Ruan summoned her courage.

"It’s just... last night, you... I heard your voice, and it was... hard to bear..."

"Huh?"

Now Gu Qing was a little embarrassed too.

She knew what she had been like last night.

She had been truly unrestrained then.

And of course, she hadn’t deliberately kept her voice down.

Gu Qing forced a smile. "Did my voice bother you? I’m sorry. I’ll try to be quieter next time."

Tang Ruan still shook her head.

Gu Qing was even more confused.

’That’s not it either?’

Tang Ruan pursed her lips.

"Sister Gu, look at the water here."

Gu Qing looked down at the spring water.

The water was still crystal clear, and she could see both of their pale, tender feet.

She could even see their clean toenails clearly.

Gu Qing didn’t see anything.

But then she looked again.

She saw a plume of white fluid swirl out from beside Tang Ruan’s legs and quickly get sucked into a crack in the rocks.

’She can convert Silk Paste, too?’

’No... that’s not Silk Paste at all...’

Gu Qing understood in an instant.

Tang Ruan had also activated her Affinity, and it was even Tier Two Affinity, rated as "Romantic Sentiments" towards Zhao Chi.

’Romantic Sentiments...’

In a situation like that, hearing Gu Qing’s voice would naturally stir her heart.

The physical stimulation would be immense.

’No wonder she said it was hard to bear... That feeling was indeed hard to bear.’

Last night, during the half-hour that Zhao Chi was asleep, Gu Qing herself had found it almost unbearable.

Let alone Tang Ruan, who had been listening the whole time.

As she was thinking, Gu Qing noticed plumes of the white fluid appearing beside both her and Tang Ruan’s legs, quickly being drawn into the cracks in the rock floor.

’This little one...’

’It seems the other point of Hereditary Genes will have to go to her.’

Gu Qing turned to look at Zhao Chi.

She found Zhao Chi looking over as well, a curious expression on his face.

Gu Qing smiled. "Alright, Tang Ruan. I understand. Leave it to me."

Tang Ruan said shyly, "Thank you, Sister Gu."

Gu Qing smiled. "After you finish washing up, go wait in the Lord’s House. The Lord will come find you shortly."

Tang Ruan was a little worried. "The Lord... he will like me, won’t he? After all, I’m not as outstanding as you, Sister Gu."

Gu Qing smiled and pinched Tang Ruan’s cheek.

"What are you talking about? Don’t worry. You’re perfect, too. The Lord likes you very much."

"Really? That’s wonderful."

"Of course it’s true. I know what the Lord is thinking. This time, wash yourself thoroughly. Don’t miss a single corner, a single crevice, because the Lord... is rather gluttonous."

"Gluttonous?"

"Hee hee, yes. You never know where he might taste, and since this is your first time... he might want to eat all of you."

Tang Ruan looked completely bewildered.

She didn’t quite understand, but she could guess at the implications.

Gu Qing smiled. "Just listen to me and you can’t go wrong. I’ll help you wash."
