Chapter 182: Chapter 128 Asina’s Sacrifice (4)_3

Qin Chu seemed to relax as well, "Hehe, indeed that’s true, and after spending some time together, I’ve realized that not everyone in the Hero Team is a scoundrel like Karsas; there are good people, too."

"For example, Saintess Rose Vesper is a very gentle person."

"And Miss Yekaterina... although we had a bit of a misunderstanding at the beginning, our relationship is very good now."

More than very good, you and Yekaterina are nearly inseparable every day, right?

This foolish man really knows nothing; Rose Vesper’s gentleness is just a façade, and Yekaterina is only with him to resurrect Jie Luo.

The more Asina watched, the more she felt this man was truly pitiable.

In her words, Asina could clearly feel Qin Chu’s admiration for Yekaterina and Rose Vesper.

It’s no wonder this man ended up finding Angelica and the bar owner... Perhaps, only women of such caliber can satisfy his pitiful self-esteem.

Qin Chu didn’t spend much time with Rose Vesper, most of what he talked about concerned Yekaterina, listening to this made Asina feel unreasonably irritable inside.

Yekaterina was the first to sacrifice herself for Lord Jie Luo, naturally occupying an important position in Lord Jie Luo’s heart. With every moment Yekaterina spent by Qin Chu’s side, she helped Lord Jie Luo recover. If it continued like this, if one day Lord Jie Luo awoke, it would be almost entirely due to Yekaterina’s merit, and Asina’s position in Lord Jie Luo’s heart would likely far fall behind Yekaterina’s.

Asina also hoped for Jie Luo to wake up soon; she simply couldn’t get past this obstacle.

She instinctively loathed the man opposite her.

Regrettably, even as their meal neared its end, Lord Jie Luo’s consciousness had yet to appear.

On the other hand, Asina knew this was inevitable, a necessary condition for Lord Jie Luo’s recovery... otherwise, who knows what accidents could happen over the decades? The current Lord Jie Luo was extremely fragile; any mishap could mean he might never be able to be resurrected.

With each passing day, the danger increased.

Asina’s heart was torn, between the resurrection of Lord Jie Luo, the loathsome Qin Chu, the sacrifice of Yekaterina, and that woman’s position in Lord Jie Luo’s heart...

She kept pouring herself more wine, her cheeks flushed with a rosy tint.

If Qin Chu continued to interact with ordinary noble ladies, would that also speed up the awakening of Lord Jie Luo’s consciousness? Asina suddenly thought of this but... quickly shook her head. Lord Jie Luo had not mentioned this before, only saying that being with Yekaterina and herself would suffice...

With the gentleness of Lord Jie Luo, if that really were effective, he would never have allowed Yekaterina’s sacrifice and would have just had Qin Chu seek out those noble daughters instead.

Perhaps, that was the bond formed by their prolonged interaction as members of the Hero Team with Lord Jie Luo.

Now, they were all Lord Jie Luo had left!

If they were unwilling to sacrifice and give any more, then Lord Jie Luo would never be able to resurrect.

"Mr. Brave, could you let me have another look at that Soul Fragment?" Asina suddenly asked, and then she remembered that the Soul Fragment seemed to have merged into Qin Chu’s body.

To her surprise, Qin Chu promptly took out the Soul Fragment: "Of course."

But Asina’s expression abruptly changed upon seeing the Soul Fragment again; it was covered with dense, spider-web-like cracks, and the sense of Lord Jie Luo on the Soul Fragment had also become extremely faint.

Qin Chu, somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head, and as if suddenly remembering something, he hastily said, "Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t intentionally damage this thing."

He hadn’t damaged it; he had simply infused Star Flame Fighting Energy into it, causing internal pressure that cracked the Soul Fragment.

Asina had no suspicion that Qin Chu had done it on purpose; whether crushed or shattered, neither would leave such evenly distributed cracks—it looked more like a natural phenomenon...

"I don’t know what happened. After you left yesterday, I woke up and it looked like this."

Asina’s expression was extremely dark; this was no good sign by any means. Thinking it over, she could only come up with one possibility, that the residual soul of Lord Jie Luo had been overstretched yesterday.

Asina would not forget how much pain Lord Jie Luo’s consciousness had shown when it woke up.

Clearly, at that time, Lord Jie Luo was forcibly sustaining himself.

If it hadn’t been to save her, Lord Jie Luo needn’t have endured such harm.

For a moment, Asina’s heart filled with both happiness and regret.

She wanted to make amends.

Qin Chu was surreptitiously observing Asina’s complexion, "Miss Asina, if you want it, then it’s yours. After all, this thing is of no use to me."

Asina shook her head and returned the Soul Fragment to Qin Chu. She couldn’t be sure if being too far away from the Residual Soul would cause something terrible to happen to the Soul Fragment; it was safer to be cautious.

Besides, it seemed that the Residual Soul of Lord Jie Luo needed the aid of the soul fragments to take control of Qin Chu’s body.

After taking a deep breath, Asina finally made her decision. Now that it was just them left for Lord Jie Luo, she had to make sacrifices for him.

She stood up, her presence exuding astonishing allure, "Mr. Brave, I seem to be a bit drunk..."

"And a bit tired. There are rooms upstairs; could you help me get there to rest?"
