Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

Tang Ruan stood there, dazed.

After all, aside from married couples, having someone else bathe you was always going to be a little awkward.

Tang Ruan trusted Gu Qing deeply.

But this... this was something that was hard to get used to in the moment.

Still, Tang Ruan knew she meant well. Who else would go to all this trouble?

Tang Ruan bit her lip and accepted it.

She then discovered that Gu Qing was extremely thorough.

Every nook and cranny, every little crevice had to be washed.

Everything had to be spotless.

Before she even got to Zhao Chi, Tang Ruan was already finding it hard to stand.

"Sister Gu..."

Gu Qing noticed something was off, too.

All the other places were clean, but this last spot... it just couldn’t seem to be cleaned up completely.

A lot of translucent spring water had appeared around Tang Ruan’s legs, and some of it got on Gu Qing’s hands.

’This little girl...’

Gu Qing felt a little helpless.

It seemed this last spot was definitely not going to get clean.

But that was alright.

’Although I don’t know why, the Lord seems to quite like it...’

’So be it.’

"Alright, Tang Ruan, you head to the Lord’s House first. Leave the rest to me."

"Thank you, Sister Gu."

Tang Ruan blushed.

"Don’t mention it, you little thing..."

At 18, Tang Ruan was indeed just a little girl in the eyes of the 26-year-old Gu Qing.

Tang Ruan held onto the stone wall of the hot spring and slowly walked to the steps.

She left a trail of translucent white spring water behind her.

Soon, the line was absorbed into the cracks of the rocks and disappeared.

Gu Qing rubbed her hands together, washing off the sticky residue.

Then, with a single push, she swam over to Zhao Chi’s side.

She brushed against him as she stood up.

Zhao Chi chuckled. "What’s wrong with Tang Ruan? Why were you helping her bathe? She looked so weak she could barely stand. Is she still tired from the battle?"

Gu Qing giggled. "Lord, something good has happened. You’ll definitely be interested."

"Something good?"

Gu Qing smiled. "Yes, you get to be a groom again today."

"A groom? Tang Ruan?"

"Mhm," Gu Qing nodded. "That little girl Tang Ruan came to me just now, saying her body felt strange and very uncomfortable..."

Gu Qing told Zhao Chi everything that had just happened in detail.

Zhao Chi was stunned. "So that’s what’s going on."

Gu Qing nodded. "It’s not her fault, really. I felt a bit strange last night too. I wanted... more than usual. It was really hard to bear."

Zhao Chi knew the effects of the Territory Traits were kicking in.

No wonder she looked so flustered.

Zhao Chi sighed. "She should have come to me for something like this. Why did she go to you?"

Gu Qing smiled. "Would you have disagreed, Lord?"

"Me?"

Zhao Chi asked himself. How could he possibly disagree with something like this?

This world wasn’t like his previous one.

There were no monogamous restrictions.

However, if Gu Qing had strongly objected, Zhao Chi would have had to reconsider.

But from the looks of it, Gu Qing not only agreed, she even actively helped.

Gu Qing smiled. "I knew you’d agree just by looking at you. She’s yours sooner or later, anyway. You’re not going to let Tang Ruan end up in someone else’s bed, are you?"

Zhao Chi nodded.

Of course that was impossible.

Gu Qing continued, "For one, Tang Ruan didn’t know how to bring it up with you. And for another, she didn’t know what my attitude would be. Although I’m also your subordinate, there’s still... a first-come, first-served order, wouldn’t you say?"

Zhao Chi nodded instinctively.

Gu Qing smiled. "So she came to find me. I gave her a few pointers and washed her all clean. Now you can savor her as you please, my Lord."

Zhao Chi chuckled as well. "Why are you talking about it like it’s a meal?"

Gu Qing smiled. "Before you, my Lord, we are but dishes to be served. I didn’t know last time, so I didn’t clean up properly. I’ve felt bad ever since that I let you taste something unclean."

Zhao Chi waved his hand. "It’s nothing. Unclean is perfect."

This comment made Gu Qing double over with laughter.

"Lord, don’t say such things. Alright, you should hurry up and go. Go rescue poor Tang Ruan. She’s been suffering all night."

Tang Ruan had already wrapped herself in a bath towel and was slowly walking toward the Lord’s House.

Since things were already so obvious...

...there was no need to be secretive.

Zhao Chi placed his hands on the edge and vaulted out of the water.

"Alright, but about those Genetics points..."

"Oh, what Genetics points? Just give them all to her! Otherwise, her first time won’t be perfect. Don’t move, Lord. I’ll help you dry off."

Gu Qing also leaped onto the bank and helped dry Zhao Chi off.

"Lord, I also spoke to Tang Ruan about getting pregnant, and she knows what to do. So you don’t need to hold back. Give it your all. I’ll be outside, listening to see how long Tang Ruan’s ’singing’ can last."

Zhao Chi smiled. "Alright, then I’ll give them to you tomorrow."

"We’ll talk about it tomorrow. You can give tomorrow’s to her too."

Zhao Chi wasted no more words.

He caught up to Tang Ruan in just a few strides.

He swept her up into his arms, bridal style.

"Ah!"

Tang Ruan was startled.

Her body tensed, and she instinctively wanted to struggle.

But when she realized it was Zhao Chi, her body instantly went soft again.

"Lord? You can put me down. I can walk by myself."

Hearing the giggles of the Female Craftsmen nearby, Tang Ruan buried herself in Zhao Chi’s arms, not daring to look up.

Zhao Chi shook his head. "Don’t be embarrassed. If you’re like this now, I’m afraid you won’t even dare to leave the room later."

Hearing this, Tang Ruan nodded in his arms.

She actually poked her head out and faced the teasing gazes of the others with a blushing face.

They soon entered the Lord’s House.

Inside, the bedsheets and covers had already been changed by Gu Qing.

They were laid out neatly and cleanly.

The moisture that had seeped into the bedframe had also dried, leaving only faint white water stains.

Zhao Chi gently placed Tang Ruan on the bed.

Tang Ruan clutched a corner of her bath towel tightly, obviously very nervous.

Her body was also tensed up instinctively.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Chi knew he couldn’t be too hasty. Besides, there was no need to rush.

This state would only happen once.

He could take his time to appreciate it.

It was also to help her relax, so she could cooperate better later.

Zhao Chi sat beside her and took her hand.

Tang Ruan obediently held out her hand.

’It’s just holding hands, it’s nothing.’

Tang Ruan’s hand was slightly smaller than Gu Qing’s, but just as soft.

Her fingers were long and slender, her nails smooth and translucent.

Zhao Chi started a simple conversation with her.

At first, Tang Ruan was passive, only answering when asked a question.

But after a few minutes of chatting, Tang Ruan slowly relaxed and began to return to her usual self.

Except her legs were clamped tightly together.

As if she were afraid something would come out.

Soon, their conversation turned to last night’s battle.

"We really have you to thank for last night. We would have surely been defeated otherwise. The consequences of defeat would have been unimaginable. Thank goodness we had you."

Tang Ruan shook her head. "It was nothing. The only reason I could do it was because you, Lord, gave me such a good Talent and Improvement trait. Thank you, Lord."

Zhao Chi smiled. "That’s not the same. If someone else had the same conditions, they might not have done as well. You’ve even gained 3 Levels in a row, making you the highest Level in our territory now."

At this, Tang Ruan seemed to perk up.

She pushed herself up into a sitting position.

"Ah."

Tang Ruan suddenly let out a small cry.

She looked down in a panic.

Zhao Chi followed her gaze and saw a glistening, viscous puddle.

Tang Ruan quickly tried to wipe it with a corner of her towel, but Zhao Chi caught her hand.

"It’s okay, that’s normal. In a little while... there will probably be more. Don’t wipe it."

Tang Ruan pressed her lips together and nodded, clamping her legs even tighter.

As if to distract herself, she quickly said:

"Lord, my Talent was Promoted."

Zhao Chi’s attention was indeed diverted.

"Your Talent was Promoted? When did that happen?"

"After we defeated the enemy last night, the system sent a settlement notification, informing me that my Talent had been Promoted."

"Really? That’s great. Let me see."

He opened the system.

And selected Tang Ruan’s personal interface.

He saw that her Talent had indeed been Promoted.

[Talent] Masochistic Tendencies

[Level] B Level (Improvable)

[Effect] 1. For every 3% of Body Damage taken, gain a 2% increase in Morale. Maximum increase of 60%. Duration: 30 minutes.

[Effect] 2. Body Damage received is reduced by 20%.

Wow...

Not bad at all.

Zhao Chi quickly pulled up her previous Talent data.

Comparing the two Talents, he could see that the improvement was indeed significant.
