Hurry and tell me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin looked left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she leaned close to Zhao Chi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was slightly shorter, and Zhao Chi could almost see the top of her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair quality was very good, a bit fine and soft, black and shiny, a very healthy color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It smelled good too… I’ll ask her what shampoo she uses later and buy some for Gu Qing and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin whispered: “Ever since Xiao Ning died, they have been investigating the resistance army. Anyone who had contact with the resistance army was caught by them for interrogation. Those people were all connected to the resistance army.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi said: “Is that so? How come I didn’t know about such a big thing? They didn’t call me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin laughed: “Your background is clean, everyone knows that, and our family also intended to protect you, so of course you were safe and sound.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My background is clean? What does that mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haven’t you been studying at the academy? And you haven’t stepped out of your door for these past few years, you’re more like a young lady than we are. Once those Holy Race people asked around, they knew you were very honest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, and didn’t we report that black market before? So our entire family didn’t suffer anything this time, just a few people got beaten up and were released.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, that’s actually quite lucky. I see two from the Qi family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not just them, there are others who died and aren’t hanging there. Of course, our family also paid a sum of money, which counts as losing wealth to avoid disaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So we still need to pay money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, paid about 2000 gold coins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know everything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin laughed: “I’m close with your sister Zhao Jiao, isn’t she helping out at Fourth Uncle’s place now? So she knows a lot of information very early. Logically, you should also call me sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t take advantage of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How am I taking advantage of you? I’m a year older than you, calling me sister wouldn’t be a loss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s fine, I’ll treat you as a clan sister from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clan sister… that won’t do, let’s stick to how we were before, you should still call me by my name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re really fickle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just joking with you earlier, but I am very firm about some things; once I’ve set my mind on it, I won’t change!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What thing? Saying it so decisively.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin said seriously: “Matters of the heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi nodded: “Mm, matters of the heart should indeed be taken seriously, but I wasn’t notified to share the cost of the money paid this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin wanted to say something else, but Zhao Chi changed the subject directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin frowned: “Why did you change the subject so quickly? I didn’t share the cost this time either, the family covered it. Sometimes we juniors can still be taken care of.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.” Zhao Chi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin reopened the previous topic: “Actually… I can accept polygamy, I don’t care about status or position, even if the heroines are ahead of me, I can accept it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi answered very perfunctorily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin was a bit angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you ‘oh’-ing about? What are you thinking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, I accept it too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… nonsense! Could you not accept it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Qin, calm down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I, hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin turned her head to look at the gate, no longer looking at Zhao Chi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t leave; she still stayed by Zhao Chi’s side, clearly wanting to be coaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi could actually feel Su Qin’s intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was very obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one wasn’t stupid, anyone could feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Su Qin had a good character and was beautiful, so Zhao Chi also had a good impression of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, Su Qin had been in the Zhao family for many years, so they knew each other well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the two hadn’t been very close before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after Zhao Chi supported her last time that their relationship had gotten closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi hoped to treat her as a normal friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Qin didn’t think so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hadn’t even been two weeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time was too short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin wasn’t Zhao Chi’s subordinate heroine; she was an independent lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi couldn’t completely control her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he could control her through enslavement, but it wasn’t necessary…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And women’s emotions sometimes fluctuated violently; they might be madly in love a few days ago, and a few days later they might feel it was bland and tasteless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi couldn’t invest emotions in her right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could definitely sleep with her now, it wasn’t necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi didn’t lack women; the feeling he got from Gu Qing and the others was top-tier, no need to find other women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now another very beautiful Zhuang Ya had arrived; Zhao Chi didn’t lack in this regard, really no need to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Zhao Chi had secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he needed more time to build trust with Su Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still had to coax her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi thought for a moment and said: “I have a gift for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin huffed: “I don’t want any gift, I just want someone who doesn’t play dumb.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi said helplessly: “This gift will definitely make you unable to refuse?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin turned her head to look at Zhao Chi, then whispered: “Don’t tell me it’s you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi laughed: “You’re overthinking it, it’s a piece of sleepwear. I don’t have it on me now, I’ll send it to your territory later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi had actually considered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Knowledge Goddess Pajamas were, after all, rare-grade fashion, higher level than those stockings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to take them out easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But giving Su Qin one piece was fine, and the source was easy to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it could also make Su Qin’s progress faster, and by the way, he could test her character; killing two birds with one stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin huffed: “Sleepwear? Why are you sending me sleepwear? No one sees it, wearing it is a waste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi explained: “It’s a piece of fashion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin still frowned: “What about fashion? Aren’t the stockings and high heels you sent me fashion? I wear stockings and high heels every day, but you never come over, who am I wearing them for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi said: “Keep your voice down, won’t I just go to your place often later?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ninth clan sister Zhao Lu in front turned her head and teased: “It’s fine, no need to keep your voice down, I could hear you whispering just now, feel free to talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi and Su Qin were both a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them spoke anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Qin still muttered: “You said it, come over to play often.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin was happy again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just about to speak again when there was movement in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked outside the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the road in the distance, a group of people appeared; no need to look to know it was Mu Chang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they got closer, everyone could see more clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very front were dozens of alien soldiers riding horses to clear the way.\u003C\u002Fp>",1255,"2026-06-17T06:09:53.282Z","2026-06-17T06:13:01.193Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","abe0d26d2b929303f7050373cf9107e2d09a18fe92d5e1711930507b79566211","global-lord-starting-with-heroine-fusion-chapter-496","global-lord-starting-with-heroine-fusion-chapter-494",515,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lord-starting-with-heroine-fusion-cover.jpg"]
