Chapter 282: Chapter 176: The Valkyrie Who Craves Rewards (3)_2

As the Queen of the Demon King, although one could attain a revered status, it also came with certain troubles... After all, not every demon had the courage to cuckold the Demon King.

After returning to the lab, Nag shut the door.

The door of this lab could only be opened by the Demon King, and its soundproofing was excellent.

In the empty room, the Demon King was alone, his eyes shining with intense madness, his fingers clenched tightly, involuntarily imagining the enchanting figure of the Enchanting Demon Queen, which immediately aggravated his mood.

"Damn..."

...

Elsewhere...

Silf and Aili ultimately did not make a move.

The thought of tearing Qin Chu to pieces was spreading and corroding their hearts, their hands even touching their weapons.

But in the end, they gave up.

There was no helping it, with Wozworth, Augustus, and Saint Monica around, these three would not allow them to kill Qin Chu.

If they did act, their fate would be as dismal as Karsas.

Especially for Silf, since Karsas was personally purified by Qin Chu, before Karsas was completely destroyed, Qin Chu crushed all his dignity and honor, exposing him in the ugliest form bearing the deepest sins, and was purified into ashes in public.

This was almost equivalent to a public trial.

This made Silf hate Qin Chu to the extreme.

Consequently, Silf also despised Norma intensely; Norma was Karsas’s fiancée after all. Watching her husband turn to ashes under the Holy Light without a trace of sorrow, even being close to Qin Chu, the murderer of her fiancé, was absolutely unforgivable in Silf’s view.

This woman was extremely selfish, never considering that Karsas no longer had any human form but was an ugly monster, expecting Norma to accept such a monster was asking too much of her.

After seeing off the nobles, Wozworth and the others also came to say goodbye.

Qin Chu and Norma returned to the palace together. Silf and Aili exchanged glances, silently following behind. The two would also stay at the palace under the identities of the Hero’s Bow Skill and the Thief Teacher. It wasn’t an ideal time to kill Qin Chu and Norma on the road, they would have plenty of opportunities to strike after settling into the palace.

The Sikes Hotel was clearly no longer habitable; the proprietor was almost in tears, his hotel having suffered severe damage, and yet no one came to discuss compensation, leaving him to bear all the losses alone.

After returning to the palace, Violet briefly inquired about what had happened, having felt the Crimson event in the sky earlier, but it hadn’t affected her too much.

The Storm Seed inside her became particularly active at that time, helping Violet fend off the invasion from the Void.

Qin Chu briefly explained, then told Norma to pick any comfortable room and rest well. Although he had many things he wanted to ask Norma, she was already very tired, and it could wait until tomorrow.

Previously, a single trip outside brought back a girl.

This time, unbelievably three...

This made Angelica involuntarily puff up her cheeks, only Antasia didn’t take it to heart; this woman was very confident.

Qin Chu also warmly welcomed Silf and Aili, who with difficulty, maintained smiles on their faces in response, finding the situation particularly trying.

Their glances occasionally swept over Violet; they could sense that this woman was very strong, incredibly strong... They had thought it would be easier to act against Qin Chu once they got close, but now it seemed that this woman would be their greatest obstacle.

During the night, the figure of Catherine appeared in Qin Chu’s bedroom.

After Qin Chu had set up a soundproof barrier, Catherine began to relay everything discussed by the five female members of the Hero Team to him.

"Aili and Silf want to investigate the hidden power within the master,"

"Rose Vesper found a special kind of poison, colorless and tasteless, undetectable by any means, its effects don’t manifest immediately but accumulate gradually in the body."

"Until the poison acts, it will start to corrode the body, making the target extremely weak, and their wounds unable to heal..."

Qin Chu darkly smiled, during the first week, he had tasted too much of that poison, and its awful flavor was unforgettable even now.

"There has been some infighting within the Hero Team, although in the end, all suspicions were cast upon Augustus, but the internal rifts had appeared and are probably not so easily mended."

"The noble Swordsman Ronald is currently trapped in the Demon Clan’s territory by Luo Meng, unable to escape for the time being. Although he has hidden well, Luo Meng can’t capture him, but problems will definitely arise if this drags on. I suspect Aili’s sister Aileen has already infiltrated the Demon’s territory to assist Ronald, but this is just my speculation, its accuracy is uncertain,"

"Moreover, Rose Vesper seems to have located a position for what might be Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment, though it’s unconfirmed. She has contacted the Mad Demon Muses and will verify it on her way to the Imperial City."

"Asina is very suspicious there’s a mole within the Hero Team, primarily suspecting Rose Vesper and Silf."
