Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

Sure enough, Qi Yue’s appearance and State had changed.

When she needed to feed on blood, her complexion was the same as before, perhaps even a little paler.

Her Mood was also very low.

She seemed listless, as if she hadn’t slept all night.

As she drank the blood, her complexion gradually became rosy.

Her lips grew more vibrant.

By the time she looked alluringly beautiful, she had reached the State of Blood Satisfaction.

However, this could only be considered the peak of the lower tier.

When she fed on Zhao Chi’s blood, the change in her appearance was even greater.

It was as if she were wearing heavy makeup—lusciously beautiful, with crimson lips.

She had the look of a blood-bride.

Without even opening the System, he could tell from her appearance whether she needed to feed on blood.

Moreover, feeding on Zhao Chi’s blood could actually double her Buffs again.

Her Energy could increase by a full 100%!

With such high Energy, she could use her Combat Technique - Continuous Dance twice as often.

Combined with her incredibly high Attack Speed and her newly awakened Talent, Exclusive Slash...

...she would be unexpectedly powerful against single-target enemies.

And with double the Energy, her waking hours would be twice that of others.

Simply put, she could sleep once every two days.

Although the sleep time in Zhao Chi’s territory had already been compressed to two hours, sleeping still took time.

Beyond that, Qi Yue’s Energy was more vigorous than anyone else’s.

This meant her level of focus on any given task would also be twice that of others.

She could be extremely focused.

Whether it was working, producing goods, or practicing Combat Skills, her progress would be significant.

Of course, this was just the ideal scenario.

After all, her internal blood satisfaction level would slowly decrease, so the actual effects might not remain so high indefinitely.

Even so, it was still outstanding.

The only price was a low Mood and listlessness when she didn’t feed on blood.

On top of that, her Mood could also increase by 20%.

While not a huge amount, combined with the Bonus from the Carefree Spring, her total Mood could reach an Extremely High +70%, making Qi Yue the most optimistic and happiest person in the territory.

Optimism would ensure her performance was very stable.

This made her extremely reliable.

Add to that her serious and obedient personality...

It was safe to say that Zhao Chi’s first Warrior Type Female Hero had been born.

Zhao Chi was very satisfied.

Qi Yue was also very satisfied.

She licked her lips, looking as if she hadn’t had quite enough.

Her lips were so red that if she hadn’t licked them, Zhao Chi wouldn’t have even noticed the trace of fresh blood still clinging to them.

When she stuck out her delicate little tongue, it was also a tender red.

"Thank you, Lord," she said, letting out a small burp.

She’d actually burped from being full.

It seemed she had truly eaten her fill.

Blood was already returning to Zhao Chi’s whitened finger.

It oozed from a half-centimeter-wide wound.

’So there really is a wound.’

When his finger had been in Qi Yue’s mouth just now, Zhao Chi hadn’t felt any pain at all.

He had only felt her tongue slide over it before she began to drink.

’Could it be that because of this change to her Genes, her saliva now produces some kind of numbing agent?’

Only now did Zhao Chi begin to feel a slight pain in his finger.

A large drop of blood welled up.

Qi Yue’s eyes were glued to it.

Zhao Chi chuckled and raised his hand.

Qi Yue said joyfully, "I’ll just take this last drop, I won’t have any more. Sister Gu Qing, please heal the Lord."

With that, her small tongue softly lapped at it.

Zhao Chi’s fingertip was instantly spotless.

Only a bit of glistening fluid was left behind.

Qi Yue pushed Zhao Chi’s hand toward Gu Qing.

Gu Qing had intended to spit out her Silk Paste to heal him.

After all, such a tiny wound wasn’t worth using a Healing Skill on.

But for some reason, she also lowered her head and took his fingertip into her mouth.

Zhao Chi felt a soft warmth envelop his finger.

’That’s the touch of Gu Qing’s tongue.’

Gu Qing pressed her lips together firmly, then pulled away.

Zhao Chi’s finger was even cleaner now; even the tiny bit of residue left by Qi Yue was gone.

The wound on his finger had also healed.

Both Zhao Chi and Qi Yue stared at her in surprise.

Gu Qing smiled. "Qi Yue made it sound so delicious that I wanted to have a taste, but I couldn’t taste anything."

Qi Yue looked a little embarrassed. "I never felt this way before, it only started after I got the new Genes. I never knew you smelled so good, Lord."

As she spoke, she licked her lips again.

It was a clear sign of her craving.

Zhao Chi felt incredibly lucky.

’Thank goodness I didn’t give them the Cannibalism Gene just now.’

’If I had, and these hundred-plus women all thought I smelled delicious, that would have been dangerous.’

The look in Qi Yue’s eyes as she gazed at Zhao Chi had become a bit complicated.

Zhao Chi couldn’t quite understand it.

[Qi Yue’s Affinity has increased. Current Level: Romantic Sentiments]

’Her Affinity leveled up.’

’So that’s what it was. Her gaze now held a trace of those romantic sentiments?’

’No wonder it was more complicated.’

"Alright, you two go about your business. I need to go out for a bit."

"Please be careful, Lord."

The two women said in unison.

Zhao Chi nodded. "Don’t worry, I should be fine. Gu Qing, I can’t take these things with me. Please hold onto them for me."

Zhao Chi had looted a number of items this time.

The easily portable Elixirs were in his System Space, but if he took them out, not only would he have to pay taxes, but he also worried that someone might notice something was amiss.

After all, something like Woman’s Revenge wasn’t something an ordinary commoner could easily get their hands on.

Among the items was an unused Small World Stone, which he also temporarily entrusted to Gu Qing.

’Expanding the world wasn’t urgent right now.’

’He would deal with that after the matter of Zhao Ji’s death calmed down a bit.’

He said goodbye to them and tapped ’return’.

The world before his eyes shifted rapidly.

He returned to his altered workshop cabin.

Returning here again, it truly felt as if a lifetime had passed.

He opened the door. The soft morning sunlight streamed in, and Zhao Chi found it a bit dazzling.

Just then, he heard the sound of footsteps in the distance.

He looked to the east.

A squad of Noble Soldiers in Black Armor was approaching, with Zhao Quan seated in a Spiritual Energy Vehicle in their midst.

Zhao Tan and Zhao Mu rode on white steeds, leading the soldiers forward.

Zhao Chi’s heart skipped a beat.

Seeing nobles now inevitably made him a little nervous.

But they had clearly already spotted him.

’If I go back inside and return to the territory now, it’ll be obvious that I have something to hide.’

’I might as well just stand my ground.’

Zhao Chi stood at his door, silently watching them.

Zhao Tan and Zhao Mu glanced at him, then continued forward, ignoring him.

Zhao Quan’s gaze also swept over him for a moment.

Then he turned his head away, his face impassive.

Zhao Chi could sense that they were most likely here because of Zhao Ji.

Soon, the procession passed by, kicking up a cloud of dust.

They headed straight for the family’s clan hall.

Zhao Chi mentally reviewed everything one more time, checking for any flaws or loopholes.

’There definitely were still some.’

’But there was nothing he could do about them.’

’He had already taken care of everything within his power.’

’Now, it was all up to luck.’

He had originally planned to go to the town’s Exchange, but it seemed that was no longer possible.

Sure enough, a notification sounded in the family group chat.

[Family Notice: All official Lords, assemble at the clan hall immediately! Come at once!]

’There was no escaping the inevitable...’

’An investigation like this was bound to happen. I wonder what’s coming.’

Zhao Chi didn’t head over immediately, instead remaining at his door and watching.

’If he went now, he would be too early, before anyone else arrived.’

’He would have to face those nobles alone, which was not a good idea.’

After a while, when Zhao Chi saw a dozen or so people enter one after another, he quickly followed.

The person in front of him was a woman.

It was his 12th-ranked clan sister, Zhao Jiao.

Upon seeing him, Zhao Jiao complained in a low voice, "What is it now, so early in the morning? These nobles must be bored."

Zhao Chi nodded without saying anything.

"How’s your territory developing? It must be going well, right? After all, you managed to get first place at the Academy."

Zhao Jiao asked him out of the blue.

Zhao Chi replied quietly, "It’s alright. Nothing special, I only started developing it a few days ago."

Zhao Jiao said, "This year’s Rookie Competition is about to start. Only you two from our family will be competing. Last time, I got 11th place and didn’t get anything, which was a real shame. You should be able to do well this time, right?"

’Rookie Competition?’

Zhao Chi recalled his 11th-ranked clan brother, Zhao Huai, telling him about this before.

It was jointly held by the five nearby villages.

Only newcomers who had been promoted to Lord that year could participate.

Every family from these five villages had to contribute funds and provide prizes.

After the New Lord competition ended, participants could choose prizes in order of their ranking.

And these prizes also represented the family’s prestige.

While they wouldn’t offer the absolute best items, the prizes wouldn’t be bad either.

At the very least, they were all very useful for a New Lord.

"How many people are participating?"

Zhao Jiao shook her head. "I’m not sure, but the year before last there were over 120, and last year when I participated there were over 90. I guess this year there will be around 100?"

’A hundred people?’

’That’s 100 New Lords.’

"Where did so many New Lords come from?" Zhao Chi was a little puzzled.

Zhao Jiao said, "How many did you think there would be? Our village alone has 15 New Lords, and we’re considered a small village. The other villages surely have more. What’s so strange about there being so many?"

Zhao Chi asked, "You just said our family has two participants? Who is there besides me?"

Although Zhao Chi was a transmigrator, he had long since familiarized himself with the family’s members and structure.

’He should be the only one promoted to Lord this year.’

Zhao Jiao laughed.

"We’re considered a vassal family of Zhao Quan now. Although we haven’t publicized it, quite a few people have heard the rumors. Several independent families have already joined ours. Among them is a family with the surname Lü, and they have a New Lord named Lü Hong. Have you heard of him? He also studied at the Eighth Academy."

’So that’s how it was.’

Although Zhao Chi felt that the family becoming Zhao Quan’s vassal was not a good thing, that was only from his perspective.

The other independent families didn’t see it that way.

They only saw that the Zhao Family had now latched onto a noble and was destined for a meteoric rise.

Therefore, all the well-informed independent families came to join the Zhao Family.

The method of joining was also through vassalage.

The Zhao Family would protect their safety, and in return, they would pay a regular fee. The Lords or laborers in their families would also work for the Zhao Family.

It was equivalent to the Zhao Family being the landlord and those independent families being the tenant farmers.

And Zhao Quan was the great landlord.

Although these people were well-informed, they hadn’t heard that the Zhao Family had now provoked the resistance army.

’Joining the Zhao Family now was not necessarily a good thing.’

’Instead of finding the protection they sought, they might just get dragged down with them.’
