Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

Visibly, the female soldiers fell in line.

"Hello, Sister Gu."

"Hello, Sister Gu Qing."

One by one, they all greeted her sweetly, their voices filled with immense respect.

At some point, Gu Qing had appeared by the edge of the Carefree Spring.

She smiled as she watched Zhao Chi and the female soldiers.

Then, she spoke gently to the women, "Once you're done washing up, go get some rest. You've all fought two battles in a row, so recovering your Body's State is the most important thing."

The female soldiers were all incredibly obedient.

They all got out of the water, gave their Bodies a simple wipe-down, and quickly ran to their rooms to sleep.

'What's with these female soldiers?'

'Gu Qing is clearly so gentle, and she's always smiling.'

'Why are they acting like kittens that have just seen a tiger?'

Gu Qing said softly, "These girls are always so playful. My Lord, let me carry you back."

Zhao Chi laughed. "You want to carry me too? Did you get enough sleep?"

Gu Qing shook her head. "I haven't slept. Tang Ruan and Qi Yue went to bed, and someone has to stay and watch over the territory. I'll sleep after they wake up."

Zhao Chi waved his hand. "It's fine. I'm back now, so you should go sleep too."

Gu Qing insisted, "There's no need. My Lord should rest first. Come on, I'll carry you."

"Alright then…"

Along the way, Gu Qing's steps were light.

She looked completely effortless.

After all, with her 7 points of Power, her current regular carrying Weight was 150 kilograms, and Zhao Chi's Body Weight was less than half of that.

Gu Qing was also overjoyed.

"My Lord, you've given us another outstanding set of Genes."

Zhao Chi was also very pleased.

"I know. I didn't expect to find Genes like these. They're extremely Rare. After all, Weight is a Branch Attribute of Power, so it's relatively hard to get such a large boost."

Gu Qing nodded. "Yes, the only drawback is that our Appetites have increased drastically. You can afford to feed us, right, My Lord? Haha."

Zhao Chi shifted his Body.

Gu Qing's back was soft and smooth, making it surprisingly difficult to stay on; he felt like he might slip off at any moment.

"Of course. Eat as much as you want. In the future, we won't just have an abundance of wheat flour—we probably won't have to worry about meat either."

"We won't have to worry about meat? My Lord, did you sign a Trade treaty with a Lord who specializes in husbandry?"

"No, we'll be raising our own."

"Huh? But won't that take a year or two?"

"I'm still missing one item, but it's fine. I'll try to get it as soon as possible."

"I hope you get it soon."

Soon, Gu Qing carried Zhao Chi into his room.

The moment Zhao Chi lay down on the bed, he was overcome with exhaustion.

His eyelids felt heavy, and he was about to fall asleep.

Although Zhao Chi hadn't been on the front lines in the two battles, his own Consumption hadn't been low.

He really needed a good sleep.

Just as he was about to drift off, Gu Qing lifted his blanket and softly sat on top of him.

"My Lord, I've missed you~" Gu Qing cooed.

Zhao Chi forced his eyes open.

Gu Qing had already lowered her head.

'Well then.'

Zhao Chi didn't know when he had fallen asleep.

When he opened his eyes, Gu Qing was already gone.

His Pajamas were on properly, and the blanket was neatly covering him.

He checked the Time; over 2 hours had passed, and it was now past 2 p.m.

...

On his way, Zhao Chi opened the system again and saw a new notification:

[Congratulations, your Level has increased to Level 16. You have received 1 Enhancement Point.]

It was the Effect of the Pajamas.

It had granted him an additional 140% of all the experience he'd earned that day.

'I thought I'd gain 2 Levels, but I guess I was being too optimistic. After all, the higher the Level, the more experience you need.'

'But I should be able to reach the next Level soon enough.'

Then he checked the messages in the family group chat.

The battles were all over.

But the Clan Leader and several of his uncles hadn't said anything, so he didn't know what was going on.

He opened the village group chat.

The chat was extremely lively, with even more Trade messages, and they were all for large-volume Trades.

After all, the wars that had just ended were all High Level Lord battles.

There would be an abundance of all sorts of prisoners and Supplies.

There were some good Supplies and items, but Zhao Chi didn't have the money to buy them right now.

But they weren't essential, so it wasn't a big deal if he couldn't buy them.

He stepped into the Carefree Spring. Just as he'd been washing for two minutes, Zhao Jing's voice sounded in his ear.

[Zhao Chi, come to the public house conference room for a meeting. Get here immediately.]

Zhao Chi didn't delay with a matter like this.

He immediately dried his Body, got dressed, and teleported out.

There were quite a few people in the public house, all of them Lords.

Zhao Shizhang and the four uncles were sitting in the main seats, not saying a word.

Their expressions were grim; something bad must have happened.

Zhao Chi silently sat in a corner, waiting for the meeting to begin.

Su Qin was sitting across from him.

She was about to greet Zhao Chi, but the atmosphere felt wrong, so she remained silent.

Before long, a few more Lords arrived.

But before everyone was present, Second Uncle Zhao Qizu went and shut the door.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's start the meeting."

'Everyone's here?'

Zhao Chi couldn't help but look at the long table in the conference room.

There were two empty seats at the table.

One was the seat for his eldest brother, Zhao Feng, and the other was for his third aunt, Zhang Yanrui.

'Those two… Something happened to them!'

It wasn't just Zhao Chi; the other Lords all had the same thought.

Although Zhao Feng was of the same generation as Zhao Chi, he was the eldest, already in his fifties this year.

He was called "eldest brother," but in terms of Age, he was old enough to be from Zhao Chi's father's generation.

His strength was, of course, beyond question, and he was a pillar of the Zhao Family.

If something happened to him, it would be a huge loss.

And then there was his third aunt.

Although she was a woman, she had many years of accumulated experience and was very powerful.

If something had happened to her as well, the Zhao Family would have truly suffered a blow to its Vitality.

First Uncle Zhao Qizong let out a sorrowful sigh and was about to speak, but Zhao Shizhang stopped him.
