Chapter 179: Chapter 127 Enchanting Demon’s Temptation (3)_3

"Mr. Brave, you might not know, but ever since I first laid eyes on Lord Horus, I’ve been deeply in love with him," Candice said, her eyes fixed on Qin Chu with deep affection.

Qin Chu inexplicably felt his heart skip a beat.

"But Horus only uses you as a tool, you’re well aware of that, aren’t you?" Qin Chu’s fingers unconsciously clenched tight as he slowly spoke, unexpectedly feeling a strong sense of self-loathing.

Candice noticed Qin Chu’s reaction, and with a gentle smile, she quickly gave her answer: "I know."

"How much do you understand him? He might be deceiving you."

"I know that too."

Candice smiled, a very twisted kind of smile:

"Even if he’s using me, even if he’s deceiving me, I don’t mind at all."

"I’m used to living a life of deceit..." Candice’s small hand rested on her chest, her face bearing a sorrowful smile: "When I was very young, my father lied to me about going hunting in the forest, then abandoned me there without a backward glance..."

"My mother lied to me, saying that if I provided information to the demons, she would acknowledge me as her daughter, but I knew she only saw me as a disgrace."

"Luo Meng lied to me, saying that if I served him, he would become my supporter and help me gain recognition among the demons, but I knew he just wanted a convenient source of information."

"Everyone around me, they all use me, they all deceive me... My life has always been full of lies."

This is a tragic girl.

She has lived in contempt and disgust from a young age, deceived, fooled, and used by others; such an experience must be suffocating.

It’s just like how I once was, manipulated by others at their will.

Qin Chu stopped in his tracks, his gaze even filled with pity.

If it had been him, having to live in such a terrible environment at such a young age, he might have not been able to withstand it either.

"I’m already used to this, but my heart is still full of expectations and hopes, it’s just a pity that these expectations and hopes have been dashed time and again, and I’ve gained nothing."

"In the eyes of my parents, I am a filthy crossbreed; more than once I’ve overheard my father and mother wishing I had never been born."

"In the eyes of the demons, I am a lowly half-breed with human blood running through my veins..."

"In the eyes of humans, I am a monster with demon blood..."

"In this world, there is no place for me, only Lord Horus needs me."

"Even though Lord Horus also just uses me, unlike my parents, unlike Luo Meng and others, you might not know, at our first meeting, Lord Horus gifted me with a magic spell, it’s a Super Order Magic Spell, isn’t it something very precious?"

"Although this might make me seem cheap, I wonder if this could be considered a bargain," she mocked herself.

"But that was the first gift I’d ever received in my life." Candice’s smile became tinged with happiness. Even if it was being used, it didn’t matter to her; even if it was a pretense, a false deception, she didn’t care. Just a little response was enough for her; she would be satisfied.

Yet, even this minor wish, she had never attained from anyone, be it her father, mother, or demons.

This terrible environment and sickly expectation had cultivated Candice’s almost twisted personality, willing to rush towards even the slightest bit of tenderness like a moth to flame.

"Therefore, I also wanted to give something back to Lord Horus. That’s why I chose that cheap necklace. It was very inexpensive, not worthy of Lord Horus. Mr. Brave, why don’t you return the necklace to me? I would be heartbroken if Lord Horus were to throw it away," said Candice, seemingly scared.

In an instant, Qin Chu felt an urge within him, the desire to reveal the truth to Candice.

His lips quivered a few times...

But, he held back.

"No, that won’t happen," Qin Chu said, shaking his head: "Believe me, Horus would never do such a thing. I think he will definitely like the necklace. To him, it’s also a precious gift."

"Really? That’s wonderful," Candice sat up and looked at Qin Chu. It was more than mere speculation for her; from Qin Chu’s reactions, the subtle expressions on his face, she was completely certain. All those years of espionage hadn’t been for nothing.

Most importantly, it was her heart, pounding intensely when near Qin Chu, the impulse to touch him more!

"Lastly, I’d like to ask you for a favor. If you contact Lord Horus next time, please convey my feelings to him!" The earnestness in her voice gave Qin Chu a peculiar feeling.

"I will," he replied.

Candice’s expression returned to normal, she lazily stretched her arms, seemingly relieved after getting all the words piled up in her heart out. Her graceful figure was now completely unveiled.

"So, Mr. Brave, do we need to put on a play? That lady who has been tailing you, she’s Asina from the former Hero Team, constantly inquiring about you recently. She has even visited me," Candice said with a bit of playfulness. She seemed to be fully back to normal. "Otherwise, a dignified hero visiting my humble tavern will surely arouse her suspicions."

Qin Chu bowed his head, contemplating. Indeed, although he had considered how to deal with Asina, Candice’s approach was clearly simpler and more effective.

Seeing Qin Chu agree, Candice smiled softly and gracefully emerged from within, her svelte figure swaying gently with charm. Her purple dress fluttered in the breeze, revealing her fair lower legs.

Her feet in black transparent high-heeled sandals were as pure as jade, untouched by even a speck of dust.

Delicate and plump, her posture was just perfect.

The sound of her heels clicking on the ground accompanied Candice as she approached Qin Chu, opening her arms that were like lotus stems.

Qin Chu also smiled gently and extended his arms. Just as he was prepared for an embrace, Candice, with a fragrant breeze, threw herself into Qin Chu’s arms. Her arms encircled his neck, and her delicate, petal-like lips planted themselves onto Qin Chu’s.
