Look!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, she reached out her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her palms had turned a tender red, as if a large amount of blood had gathered beneath the skin, but it was rapidly dispersing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ruan gently touched them: “Wow, so hot! It’s just like how I feel after soaking in the sauna spring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Qi Yue also curiously touched them: “It’s true, they’re scalding. Sister Zhuang Ya, it doesn’t hurt, does it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It doesn’t hurt, why would it hurt? If little Zhao Chi hadn’t told me to stop, I could have burned that wooden dummy straight into white ash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing laughed: “Zhuang Ya, you’re finally happy now, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya made no attempt to hide it: “Haha, of course I’m happy! With such a powerful skill, I won’t be holding you all back anymore! Thank you, Lord Zhao Chi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya placed her right hand over her chest and bowed solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was what she had been thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she had been feeling down earlier because she was afraid of holding everyone back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she had this new skill, her confidence had returned in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fit her personality traits perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, besides being proud, she was also sensitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden dummy was still burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a strong smell of char in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya thanked him again: “Many thanks, Lord Zhao Chi, for giving me such a powerful spiritual art. Whoever you tell me to burn, I will burn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi laughed: “No problem. And I discovered that your Sea of Fire art is actually an area-of-effect skill; it can burn an area of one square meter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya nodded: “That’s right, and it can move too. Look!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was showing off, and also explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, flames wrapped around her arms again, compressed into her palms, and a great fire surged forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya walked around while spraying fire, her arms waving continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See? It can burn a huge area, in any direction! Hahahahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These flames seemed to put her in a very good mood; she laughed as she burned things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huge tongues of fire lashed out everywhere with her movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ruan nervously blocked Zhao Chi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing stood ready to heal at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Qi Yue silently took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their reactions, Zhuang Ya chuckled and put away the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guys… I wouldn’t burn you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing laughed: “Your Sea of Fire art is truly too strong. No wonder it’s called a sea of fire; it really is a sea of fire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya said: “Yeah, although the spiritual power consumption fluctuates quite a bit, as long as I charge into a crowd of enemies, I can definitely set a whole area ablaze instantly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi said: “This kind of group-damage skill also matches your talent well; it can quickly accumulate a very high morale bonus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya agreed: “Mm, that’s right! My talent is actually quite good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ruan said worriedly: “Sister Zhuang, you’re a mage, shouldn’t you avoid charging into enemy crowds? Isn’t that too dangerous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya waved her hand: “Mages can also be battle mages. Can’t I just wear iron armor? Anyway, our carrying capacity is high, and I can still carry a shield and a broadsword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said: “That is indeed feasible. In the future, Tang Ruan can charge in the front, and you and Qi Qi Yue can take one side each, flanking the enemy from two directions. Our attacks will be even sharper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Qi Yue nodded gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya clenched her soft, warm hand: “No problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi said: “Spend these next few days getting familiar with both skills; you can use them in combination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya said softly: “Don’t worry, I will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi pointed to the warehouse in the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bought a lot of daily supplies this time, and the female soldiers have already moved them to the warehouse. Gu Qing, you can distribute them later. I also bought some extra books; you can all take a look if you’re interested.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded: “Alright, leave it to me. Is there a purchase list?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s quite miscellaneous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many daily supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including toiletries, hygiene products, cleaning supplies, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since the territory was full of women, there was no shortage of various feminine products, cosmetics, skincare products, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t actually need cosmetics for their looks; they were pleasing to the eye even without makeup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But things like makeup were more of a recreational activity for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they liked it, Zhao Chi wouldn’t interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, buying so much only cost 17 gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, 17 gold coins was not a small amount, but this was to supply over 400 people, and there would be stock left over, so it wasn’t expensive when calculated out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still very worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also quite a few books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some books even had blood on them; they were all spoils of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most were miscellaneous books for relaxation and entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were professional books covering all sorts of topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi didn’t pick through them; a whole crate cost 25 silver coins, so he bought them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing browsed the list briefly, then chuckled: “Zhuang Ya, the lord bought a full set of dyes this time. Hurry and tell him what colors you like for your fashion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya asked softly: “Alright, Lord Zhao Chi, will this add a burden to your work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi waved his hand: “It’s just a one-step process, and it’s automatic, so there’s no burden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing chuckled: “It’s not just Zhuang Ya; we have colors we want too, is that okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi laughed: “Of course, no problem at all, just say the word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they had already thought about it beforehand, they were still struggling with the choice now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that this kind of thing was indeed not easy for them to choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi said directly: “It doesn’t matter, I only make four types of fashion anyway, why don’t I just dye them in every color for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would save them from having to agonize over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four women nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi said: “Gu Qing, you summarize it—what styles and colors do you need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing laughed: “Alright~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, the stockings. Zhuang Ya and I prefer black and skin-tone; gray is also nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang Ruan and Qi Qi Yue look good in any color, you could also make a few pairs of white stockings; they are younger, so they would look very appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the style, let’s stick with pantyhose; after all, they can be pulled up to the waist, providing more protection. And don’t make them crotchless; we still need protection in the crotch area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to tear them for fun at night, you can make some crotchless ones; the style can just be whatever you’re interested in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Ya kept nodding gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this sentence, she couldn’t help but look at Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tear them for fun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little Zhao Chi, he really knows how to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then the high heels. Since it’s hot now, the style doesn’t need to change; peep-toe is fine, and the thin heels don’t need to change either, since they don’t cause any impact, and thin heels look better.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-06-17T06:09:53.282Z","2026-06-17T06:13:01.193Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","484c8e3f5b453fedb02b0ece437a29bd23a4009871f67d025cae6efe3b31bcfb","global-lord-starting-with-heroine-fusion-chapter-490","global-lord-starting-with-heroine-fusion-chapter-488",515,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lord-starting-with-heroine-fusion-cover.jpg"]
