The Storm Witch's territory!
Jie Luo's soul fragments.
As expected, it couldn't be hidden from Shaye.
It made sense, after all, the news had come from Shaye herself, who, upon seeing Shield Guard Benson's route, would naturally be more sensitive.
The attitude of Qin Chu only made Shaye more certain of her own suspicions. Her slender body didn't continue to sit on Qin Chu's shoulder. Instead, she floated lightly to directly in front of Qin Chu, her crimson eyes staring fixedly at him.
Her voice was low and hoarse, even carrying an unrestrainable fury:
"Indeed, your target was never Shield Guard Benson, but rather Jie Luo's soul fragments..."
Since he had already been seen through by Shaye, Qin Chu no longer continued to hide anything: "I have a dream!"
"Huh?"
Shaye was a bit stunned. Was this hero having a brain cramp? Here she was discussing a matter of life and death, and he was talking about dreams? Was he sick?
"What exactly do you want to do?"
The inability to understand the joke made Qin Chu feel a bit lonely. He spread his hands, his face earnest, "I hope that one day, I can hold Jie Luo's soul fragments and say to Rose Vesper..."
"Catherine…"
"Asina…"
"Aileen, Aili…"
"Silf…"
"'You don't want to see me crush Jie Luo's soul, do you?'"
This serious expression conveyed something terribly awful. Shaye had black lines all over her forehead. Although she still didn't understand Qin Chu's joke, she could at least tell it was not something pleasant.
Furthermore, the six names Qin Chu mentioned were all female members of the Hero Team.
This guy, it was clear what dirty and filthy thoughts he harbored.
"You, are you planning to use Jie Luo's soul fragments to blackmail those women into doing such horrible things?" Shaye raised her eyebrows, her face full of contempt.
This woman's words were really unpleasant. What did she mean by "such horrible things"? Couldn't she have phrased it more elegantly?
Even though Shaye was speaking the truth.
As for those women in the Hero Team, Qin Chu's resentment towards them was even stronger compared to the male members.
Years of daily interaction, occasional flirtations, and sometimes intimate contacts had a shocking impact on Qin Chu, who had never had a girlfriend before. Even though he was always in love with Rose Vesper, he was still heart-fluttered and even had the delusion that he was quite popular.
Back then, Qin Chu even felt that perhaps the Sky Dome Continent was a place more suitable for him to live than Earth.
Qin Chu couldn't forget how Asina, with her enchanting and voluptuous body, would lean on his shoulder and whisper in his ear: Hey, do you like older women?
He couldn't forget how he had carried Catherine from the tavern on his back as she lay on him, drunkenly muttering: Just because I'm tall and have a fierce personality, no boy likes me. I really want to get married. Hey, would you marry me?
He also couldn't forget that one-on-one date with the Ghost Shooter Silf: I like men who are stronger than me. In the Hero Team, only the hero is stronger than I am!
Nor could he forget Aili and Aileen, the sisters who would link arms with him, smiles of happiness spread across their faces: We love hero brother the most...
Once, Qin Chu truly thought his spring had come.
Even though he was secretly in love with Rose Vesper, during the seven years of war in the first week, Qin Chu still did his best to protect them, ensuring they didn't suffer even the slightest harm.
Looking back now, in their eyes, he was probably no different from a clown, right?
All of it, nothing more than deception, merely his own wishful thinking.
Benson could be straightforwardly killed.
But these women, Qin Chu was definitely going to deal with them personally. Merely killing them was even too good for them. It wasn't enough to vent the rage in Qin Chu's chest.
Jie Luo's soul fragments were a very handy tool. Qin Chu intended to use this thing to blackmail them, watching them hate utterly yet have to submit themselves beneath him, capturing their expressions filled with hatred and humiliation, torturing them until they were covered in bruises and wounds, then mercilessly shatter Jie Luo's soul fragments.
The despair on those beautiful faces would probably be the most beautiful scenery in this world.
Twisted? It might be very twisted.
Cruel, it was definitely very cruel.
This was the current Qin Chu, transformed by the people of this world from a once simple and kind-hearted man into this twisted being. The consequences would have to be borne by them alone.
"You really are a perverted guy. I'm starting to doubt whether your true nature is a twisted demon…" Shaye teased deliberately!
Knowing Qin Chu's thoughts, she couldn't help but sigh, "You want to take revenge on the Hero Team members, I won't stop you, but I must remind you, all the witches are not easy to provoke."
"The strength of the Storm Witch is among the lower ranks of the existing witches, but it's definitely not something you can confront now. Her strength surely surpasses the members of the Hero Team, and she's probably not inferior to Wozworth, Augustus, and Saint Monica. Do you think you can snatch Jie Luo's soul fragments from the hands of the Storm Witch?"
That level of strength was beyond the current Qin Chu's reach.
Recklessly appearing before the Storm Witch would mean not just Qin Chu, even Shaye might be torn apart by the raging storm.
"Humans have their ways. From Candice notifying the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince conducting an investigation and ensuring there's no issue before taking action, this will take a significant amount of time. During this time, I'll enhance my strength as much as possible," said Qin Chu, having his own plans and relying on the experiences from the first week and the talents of the Devourer.
"Of course, I wouldn't gamble with my own life lightly. If I really can't make it, I won't go to my death voluntarily. You don't need to worry about that, I still want to witness this world's destruction with my own eyes," Qin Chu said with a slight curve on his lips, soothing Shaye.
Under the streetlight, Qin Chu stretched lazily.
"It's getting late, we should head back now."
Transforming into a bat, he flew through the night sky and re-entered the room through the previously opened window.
The illusion over the bed gradually shattered. Rubbing his eyes and hair casually, Qin Chu exhibited a sleepy expression and opened the room door.
Nicholas was loyally guarding the doorway. Hearing the noise, he immediately turned around, "Mr. Brave, do you have any orders?"
"What's going on outside, it's so noisy?" Qin Chu yawned, muttering somewhat discontentedly, his acting skills getting better and better.
"Reporting to Mr. Brave, a number of nobles are gathered at the door wanting to see you. Miss Angelica is attending to those people," Nicholas's eyebrows subtly furrowed.
In this world, the status of maids is very low. They exist solely to serve their masters, and this service is comprehensive. No matter what the master requires, the maids must not refuse.
Nicholas was a true knight, yet because Angelica was the brave man's maid, he had to refer to Angelica respectfully, which displeased him as he felt it tarnished his honor as a knight.
"Angelica is here?" Qin Chu's eyes suddenly brightened: "Cough cough, call Angelica here."
Nicholas's face revealed a smile every man understands; Mr. Brave really is a passionate man.
Has he already become impatient just after Angelica arrived? It was said that Mr. Brave was a super maid fan, not even wanting the Holy Daughter or the Princess, he chose Angelica directly.
It really is incomprehensible what's so attractive about such a lowly maid.
Nicholas mumbled quietly to himself while he went to carry out the order.
Not long after, led by Nicholas, Angelica had already arrived at the bedroom door.
Her pretty cheeks were tinged with a hint of crimson, and her golden eyes seemed to hold a layer of mist. Angelica felt her face burning and her body feverish, with her heart rate dramatically increasing.
In such a situation, asking a maid to enter the bedroom to serve, even a fool knew what would happen.
This was one of the jobs of a maid—serving in the bedroom!
Following behind Qin Chu, Angelica entered the bedroom, ready to offer her pristine body.
