Chapter 130: Chapter 103 Is Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment empty? (3005 Votes for Recommendations and Monthly Tickets)

Miss Violet had been waiting here for a thousand years, waiting for the light.

This situation gave Qin Chu a feeling of being calculated, as if Miss Violet was forcefully stuffed into his arms by some entity.

Although Miss Violet was three meters tall, Qin Chu did not dislike her recent craziness. Instead, it was a kind of different stimulation.

But the feeling of being manipulated made Qin Chu very uncomfortable, a fact that would not change regardless.

Miss Violet was just a pitiful tool being used!

She was one of the oldest witches, her physical body long since decayed, and now the Storm Witch existed only in a soul state. Perhaps because she had accepted the Authority of the Lord of Storm, Miss Violet’s soul and a normal body were almost indistinguishable.

She had a heartbeat, breathing, temperature...

Only now, pierced by the Light Saber with countless holes from Holy Light Blossom, did she display differences from normal people.

Miss Violet’s strength was still quite impressive. Although Holy Light Blossom was the bane of ghosts, it was not enough to instantly kill Miss Violet. The pierced places on her body were rapidly healing, and her form seemed to become more slender.

The struggling body gradually calmed.

She felt warmth in Qin Chu’s arms, a kind of tenderness that would not scorch her.

She felt secure. After a long thousand years, she had finally waited for Him.

She felt wronged, suffering for her thousand years of loneliness and torment.

"Why, why have you only come now... Why couldn’t you appear earlier..."

Miss Violet murmured softly. She truly had been waiting too long.

Perhaps because she had finally waited for Qin Chu and could finally put down the heavy burden she had carried for a thousand years, Miss Violet felt relieved. It could also be that the damage to her soul was too severe; she was very weak.

Miss Violet lay on Qin Chu’s chest, complaining about why he had only appeared now, her fist slightly larger than Qin Chu’s lightly pounding on his chest.

Gradually, she fell asleep.

She probably had not had a peaceful rest in a very long time.

Although Qin Chu thought she was a quite useful tool that could be exploited, like Antia, she was a pitiable person.

Footsteps came down from the staircase.

It was Catherine. Following Qin Chu’s order, she had been making noise upstairs when she suddenly felt a strong fluctuation from below, and the bright white light was very clear even on the second floor.

Catherine’s heart skipped a beat. Worried that something might have happened to Qin Chu, she hurriedly ran downstairs, only to see Qin Chu holding Miss Violet, and the two of them seemed to be very intimate.

This scene made Catherine feel as if a thorn had pricked her heart.

Anger flared up in her beautiful eyes, and of course, this anger was not directed at Qin Chu. She would never harbor any angry feelings towards her master. It was directed at Miss Violet.

This damned Fox Spirit, how dare she seduce the master when she wasn’t by his side?

Detestable, detestable, detestable... Bastard... to kill her!

In an instant, intense murderous intent surged in Catherine’s heart.

She felt her hands even shaking, seemingly about to lose control.

That strong murderous intent even shocked Catherine herself. She quickly shook her head. Without knowing what her master was actually doing, how could she harbor such intense negative emotions? It was too inappropriate. After taking a deep breath, Catherine suppressed the murderous intent in her heart and walked toward her master:

"Master..."

Catherine intended to ask what had happened here, but the words changed to complaints at her lips, "I’ve been calling out for over two hours upstairs, my voice is hoarse, and here you are, holding another girl."

She pouted, clearly displeased.

Suddenly, Qin Chu’s face darkened, and his icy gaze swept over Catherine, making her shiver.

"Catherine, have you forgotten your place?"

Gulp...

Intense fear made Catherine tremble uncontrollably, her delicate face turning pale in an instant. Her master’s words terrified her.

It was a tone that repelled her completely.

As if the master was about to discard her.

"Master, I, I didn’t mean that, I..." Catherine explained in panic, but the more scared she became, the less she was able to speak properly.

Seeing Catherine’s anxious tears about to fall, Qin Chu suddenly smiled.

That smile seemed to slightly ease Catherine’s heart.

"Catherine, what are you thinking? Your place is as my woman, isn’t it!" Qin Chu cocked his head, smiling as he said, "Since you’re my woman, shouldn’t you fully support whatever I do?"

Catherine was somewhat dazed.

Ah, yes, she was her master’s woman. No matter what the master did, she must fully support him. How could she feel dissatisfaction just because her master was holding another woman in his arms?

It was truly too inappropriate. Catherine felt deep self-reproach for her earlier jealousy and indignation.

She hung her head low, not daring to make a sound.

That demeanor caused Qin Chu to ponder. Although the City Beauty Love seemed to have had a good effect, relying solely on City Beauty Love seemed not quite enough. He thought he should pay more attention to controlling Catherine on a daily basis.

After all, she was a very useful tool, and still Qin Chu’s spy embedded in the Hero Team. For the time being, Qin Chu was not ready to destroy this tool.

Let’s also give Shaye a chance, and give Catherine another dose of City Beauty Love.

As Qin Chu thought about this, he waved at Catherine, the valiant Valkyrie who at that moment looked like a little girl who had done something wrong, walking towards Qin Chu timidly, waiting for his punishment.

But Qin Chu didn’t punish her, instead, he gently touched Catherine’s cheek, "Catherine, remember, I’m too busy doting on you to ever punish you."

"Moreover, you did very well just now, buying me quite a bit of time, very impressive."

Qin Chu complimented her.

A bright and happy smile instantly bloomed on Catherine’s face, feeling the void in her heart created by her recent fear being filled up completely.

With a somewhat foolish grin on her face, she realized that she was indeed the most important person to her master.

Even though the master was holding another woman in his arms now, his affection for her would never diminish, and she felt herself falling even deeper in love with her master.

Hit with a stick and then offered a sweet date.

Qin Chu wasn’t really skilled in psychology or imperial studies, he could only reinforce his control over Catherine this way, and it seemed to work quite well.

"Catherine, I have another task for you," Qin Chu said.

Catherine immediately stood straight, her pretty face full of excitement; of course, her master still trusted and adored her. He didn’t doubt her just because of what she had just said and was still willing to entrust her with important tasks.

"You go and search inside the Temple."

"Do you still remember the crystal Miss Violet showed us yesterday?"

Catherine thought for a moment: "Master, are you speaking of the crystal formed from Jie Luo’s Soul Fragments?"

Qin Chu gazed intently at Catherine’s complexion, and as she spoke these words, Catherine’s expression didn’t change at all, no reaction to Jie Luo’s name, which greatly pleased Qin Chu.

"Correct, help me find it."

"Understood, I will go at once." Catherine did not dare to delay, leaving in high spirits.

"Shaye, I need you to follow her and see what Catherine looks like after she comes into contact with Jie Luo’s Soul Crystal," said Qin Chu to Shaye after Catherine had left.

Since Catherine was quite a useful tool, Qin Chu couldn’t do without her for the time being, and therefore he had to ensure her loyalty.

If Catherine showed any abnormalities upon touching Jie Luo’s Soul Fragments, like trying to hide it or even take it away, Qin Chu might have no choice but to discard this tool.

Shaye understood Qin Chu’s train of thought, nodded, and followed behind Catherine, whose warrior’s perception failed to detect Shaye’s capability.

Violet was still sleeping in Qin Chu’s arms.

Qin Chu was pondering in his mind, judging how to persuade Violet to follow him like Antia did when she woke up, and how to successfully control her.

The Magic Potion of City Beauty Love likely had no effect on such a soul.

Antia stood quietly to the side, motionless, her petite frame tightly clutching a long spear taller than herself.

Although Antia’s thoughts were unknown, she seemed to have taken on the role of Qin Chu’s guard automatically—whenever Catherine wasn’t around, Antia would step forward to keep watch.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Catherine received Qin Chu’s orders and began the search for Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment.

The first place she checked was Violet’s bedroom, because it seemed that Violet didn’t possess anything like a storage ring, and her clothing had been changed to a set of black light gauze; there was basically nowhere to hide anything.

So, it was most likely that Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment had been left in the room when Violet changed clothes.

Perhaps to atone for a previous slip of the tongue, Catherine unusually put her mind to work. This time her judgment was sound, and soon, she found a crystal in the dresser’s drawer.

When her finger touched the crystal, Catherine’s body trembled slightly, as if electrified, for an instant.

A faint trace of bewilderment seemed to appear on her beautiful face, an inexplicable sense of familiarity...

Forget it!

Catherine quickly discarded the thought, the joy of completing her task so swiftly replacing the doubt in her heart. She happily took Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment to find Qin Chu.

He did not accept it immediately but glanced at Shaye behind him. Shaye gave Qin Chu a slight shake of her head.

Even though Catherine had shown a slightly strange reaction, it wasn’t enough to break the control of "City Beauty Love." However, any reaction, no matter how faint, was absolutely unacceptable and would need to be reinforced later.

Qin Chu felt somewhat relieved and took Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment with one hand while holding Violet with the other.

A hint of a smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

Qin Chu had thought his fingers would tremble with excitement, but now that the Soul Fragment was in hand, he found himself surprisingly calm.

While evil thoughts revolved in his mind, his consciousness remained clear and unclouded.

With two fingers, he pinched the Soul Crystal, sweeping it in front of his eyes. With this object, he now had the means to coerce any member of the Hero Team.

By accessing the memories within the Soul Crystal, he would find out what kind of Power initially resided in Jie Luo, and why the members of the Hero Team were utterly loyal to him.

He would understand the circumstances of Jie Luo’s one-on-one confrontation with the Demon King.

All the myriad doubts in his heart were on the verge of being answered.

Qin Chu took a breath, letting his consciousness sink into the Soul Crystal, beginning to explore the memories it contained...

Shaye watched silently from the side. She, too, hoped that Qin Chu would find the answers.

But after only a few seconds, Qin Chu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze becoming somewhat dark:

"Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment... It’s empty?"
