Chapter 178: Chapter 127 Enchanting Demon’s Temptation (3)_2

Could it be that the magic potion had expired?

Impossible. Candice could sense the magic power brimming within the medicine, ruling out the possibility of an expiration.

Candice was somewhat skeptical.

Her gaze fell unconsciously on Qin Chu, who, feeling guilty about his dishonest deed, looked down and instinctively leaned back.

A curve suddenly formed on the corners of Candice’s mouth; if one looked closely, they would notice that Lord Horus’s appearance, though he seemed about seventeen or eighteen and perhaps a bit younger than the Hero, had a mysteriously similar build and contour to the latter.

Leaning back unconsciously, fingers caressing the wineglass, and the pose from their last meeting with hands supporting his chin... two silhouettes began to overlap in Candice’s heart.

Some people, despite altering their appearance, could not hide their subconscious habits, which often exposed them completely.

If Qin Chu concocted the potion, she should have begun to gradually forget Horus by now; if it had been Lord Horus, she could not possibly have suddenly taken a liking to Qin Chu.

Therefore, there was only one possibility.

Of course, she had to verify it carefully.

"Lord Horus, do I pass now?" Candice asked abruptly.

"Of course..." Qin Chu replied instinctively, but as soon as he spoke, he realized something was amiss and coughed, "Ahem, I mean, Horus would certainly think you’ve passed."

The scene felt strangely familiar.

"Yes, he would be very pleased," Qin Chu stressed.

Candice seemed to finally relax; her delicate hand rested on her upright chest, seemingly calming the panic in her heart.

Then Candice’s enchanting upper body slowly leaned against the counter, her pretty head coming close as Qin Chu could almost smell the fragrance of her hair.

Because of this special posture, a beautiful and seductive curve extended down Candice’s back and hips, and the fabric at the neckline of her purple dress, affected by gravity, naturally fell.

An inadvertent glance allowed Qin Chu to see things he shouldn’t have.

This made Qin Chu somewhat flustered. No matter whether as the Hero or as Horus, he had to maintain his image in front of Candice and not let anyone see through him.

His gaze uncontrollably drifted to the side.

His throat moved subtly as, at that moment, Candice exuded an astonishing allure, whether it was her somewhat dazed face or her watery eyes, all of which were exceptionally tempting.

Indeed, worthy of having the Enchanting Demon Queen’s bloodline.

This woman, if she truly wanted to seduce any man, there likely wouldn’t be anyone who could resist her.

"It’s getting late, and I should probably go... Ah, right, also, find a way to notify Luo Meng to harass the human borders for a while."

"There’s no need to attack fiercely; just keeping the border conflicts going is enough," Qin Chu quickly instructed.

As long as humanity constantly felt the threat of demons, his position as the Hero would become increasingly elevated, and similarly, he would be increasingly safe.

After dropping that line, Qin Chu put down his glass and intended to leave.

But before he could stand up, a pair of soft hands grabbed his.

"Miss Candice, what is this...?"

Qin Chu instinctively tried to withdraw his hand, but Candice held it tightly, looking at him with tearful, pitiable eyes, which almost made him relent.

"Mr. Brave, I know Lord Horus is now in the Void, but you can contact him, right? Can you let me talk to him? I really want to hear his voice," Candice pleaded.

Candice’s behavior surprised Qin Chu. When the Enchanting Demon last asked him to send a necklace to Horus, he only thought Candice was trying to curry favor with Horus.

After all, where in the world is love at first sight that common?

But looking at Candice now, it seemed like this woman had truly fallen for Horus.

Fallen for the identity he was impersonating... what... what does this even mean? For a moment, Qin Chu felt an exceptional headache coming on.

What was more troubling was that Horus didn’t actually exist. How could he contact Horus? Should he pretend to converse with himself?

However, he couldn’t show such an appearance in front of Candice, and Qin Chu quickly regained his composed demeanor, "Miss Candice, you know, it’s not easy to make contact since Horus is in the Void right now."

Visible disappointment flashed across Candice’s face, a look that even made Qin Chu feel a strong sense of guilt. Good heavens, had he gone too far this time? How was he going to explain the truth to Candice in the future?

Should he say that Horus perished in battle in the Void and that she should find someone more suitable?

It would be a wonder if that woman didn’t die from heartbreak.

"I see, well then... Mr. Brave, do you still have that magic potion?"

"Yes, I do, why?"

"Give me a few more bottles..."

"Huh?" Qin Chu doubted he heard correctly.

"I said, give me a few more bottles."

"No, no, no, one bottle is enough; I think Horus must already know of your loyalty," Qin Chu shook his head vigorously.

City Beauty Love was very precious, and with only four bottles left after Candice drank one, Qin Chu was already distressed and he definitely couldn’t waste any more.

"No, this isn’t to prove loyalty, but to show Lord Horus my love," Candice clarified.
