Chapter 141: Chapter 108: Jie Luo’s Residual Soul Inside Qin Chu? (3)_3

"You can only trust me now,"

Damn it, what exactly were these two talking about?

Asina’s mind was in turmoil for a moment.

Through the True Eye, Catherine was gazing affectionately at the man in front of her. Asina could see that her eyes were full of tender love; Catherine indeed loved this man deeply and wanted to have him all to herself.

Those feelings couldn’t possibly be faked.

Even if Catherine acted on Rose Vesper’s insinuations to throw herself at Qin Chu, she would never truly engage her feelings. What on earth was going on—why had Catherine really fallen for this man? This man even used a nickname that only Jie Luo knew; could it be...

"How could that be, Little Xina is a very good person," Qin Chu tilted his head gently in the True Eye and dropped a bombshell with a tender voice:

"Do you remember the time we were surrounded by the Demon King Nage’s Four Heavenly Kings and seventeen generals, completely out of resources, exhausted, with only a little bit of dry bread that wasn’t nearly enough to eat? Asina secretly pulled me aside and handed me her share of the bread, saying she wasn’t hungry, although her stomach was growling loudly."

This statement struck Asina like a lightning bolt.

If the nickname ’Little Xina’ could possibly be accidentally heard by other companions, the act of giving her bread to Jie Luo was something Asina was very sure only she and Jie Luo knew about.

Why did Qin Chu know this? From what Qin Chu said, it seemed as if it had happened to him.

Asina’s mind suddenly began to race, with various thoughts swiftly emerging. The more she thought, the more astonished her expression became.

Qin Chu had gone through all the journals; actually, at that time, Jie Luo had devoured the bread of Rose Vesper, Asina, Catherine, Silf, Aileen, Aili, and the noble Ronald—seven people in total... His appetite was quite large.

"No, please remember that I am the only one you can trust right now, don’t trust that woman Asina, she’s too close to Karsas and Rose Vesper, she doesn’t deserve your trust." Catherine shook her head vigorously, her long red hair swaying from side to side with her agitated movements.

Damn it, you’re the one who’s not trustworthy!

"Also, you should not appear often, you must understand that you are just a Residual Soul now, and if you appear too often, Qin Chu might notice..."

A Residual Soul?

Asina sharply caught the key point.

Catherine clearly wasn’t talking to Qin Chu but seemed to be communicating with another consciousness inside Qin Chu’s body.

"Moreover, it could cause unnecessary trouble. The last time we were dealing with Nadia, you suddenly appeared and ended up enchanting Nadia."

"My body, my heart, they belong only to you, I don’t want to be with Qin Chu, but to help your soul recover as soon as possible, I will endure."

Catherine’s voice was still echoing in Asina’s ears.

Whose Residual Soul was this, anyway?

To recover this Residual Soul, to even go to the lengths of being intimate with Qin Chu—who could possess a Residual Soul that drove Catherine to such extents?

The only person Asina could think of was... Jie Luo.

Asina had no idea that, as she spied on Qin Chu and Catherine, Qin Chu was also speculating on Asina’s reaction.

She was a clever woman, cunning, intelligent, and suspicious.

What Qin Chu needed to do was not to run up to Asina and openly declare, which would be useless and would likely just raise her suspicions, making her even less likely to believe what you say.

But overhearing something could make its credibility skyrocket.

If he could guide her just a bit more...

This suspicious woman would desperately expand her thinking, speculating about all sorts of possibilities.

Just as Qin Chu had planned, the conversation between him and Catherine never mentioned Jie Luo’s name from start to finish, but to Asina, every hint pointed right at Jie Luo.

Then Asina would gather various clues to confirm her suspicions.

A conclusion deduced from integrating various clues is much more convincing than what someone directly tells you.

When Asina was about to confirm her suspicion, Qin Chu would step forward to seal the deal, making Asina feel that her speculation was indeed correct.

"Ms. Asina, what’s wrong?"

"Ah, damn, a True Eye was accidentally destroyed by a guard, which is terrible." Asina’s expression quickly returned to normal as she complained with some dissatisfaction, "This guard even took a bottle of fine wine worth three hundred Mana from me."

"Sorry, that True Eye’s location is very important. I have to replace it right away." Asina stood up, quickly made an excuse, and said goodbye to Rose Vesper.

Since Rose Vesper’s name had also come up in the conversation between Catherine and... Qin Chu, Asina did not share what she had seen and heard from the True Eye with Rose Vesper.

She was starting to suspect Rose Vesper as well.

She wanted to figure out what exactly was going on. Why did a pet name known only to Jie Luo come from Qin Chu’s lips?

Why would Catherine, who loved Jie Luo deeply, love Qin Chu deeply as well?

Why did Qin Chu know about the bread she shared with Jie Luo? No one had seen that happen.

And what was this about a Residual Soul? Whose Residual Soul?

Too many confusions suddenly filled Asina’s mind. Could it be that there really was some connection between Qin Chu and Jie Luo?

Asina was both intelligent and confident. It was precisely because she was intelligent that she was more suspicious, and she was also better at reasoning!

Because she was confident, she believed in the scenes she glimpsed through the True Eye, and that Catherine and Qin Chu, two warriors, did not know about the True Eye and therefore could not be intentionally acting in front of her.

Asina connected all the clues in her mind, filling in the missing parts herself, and then arrived at two conclusions that made her shudder...

Could it be... that Lord Jie Luo’s Residual Soul was residing in Qin Chu’s body?
