Chapter 285: Chapter 177 Catherine’s Great Sacrifice (Seeking Monthly Votes and Recommendations)_2

The scene unfolding in the bedroom was too much for Silf to bear watching, yet her fingers involuntary parted, creating a small gap.

It’s too shameful, too disgraceful, too brazen, too filthy...

...

Silf didn’t know how to describe the scene that met her eyes.

She felt as though her entire worldview had been utterly upended.

Her body stood still atop a leaf in the treetop, her legs shaking uncontrollably; the leaf swayed in the night breeze, and Silf nearly fell to the ground, forcing her to find a more secure perch on a sturdy tree trunk to sit.

Inside her, her magic power and fighting energy were in complete turmoil.

Her thoughts were a tangled mess.

She knew that Catherine had made great sacrifices to revive Jie Luo, even willingly giving herself to Qin Chu.

But she never imagined the sacrifice would be to such an extent.

Her cheeks were burning hot as she silently watched the two figures inside, waiting for it all to finally end.

She added the shame she bore onto Qin Chu’s account.

Silf didn’t realize that as she watched Qin Chu and Catherine, there were two others with smiles on their faces, watching her: Violet and Antia.

Silf thought her movements were silent and unnoticed, but the entire palace was under Violet’s surveillance.

The proverb, ’The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind’ was apt for this situation.

Besides, this weak mantis wasn’t hunting any cicada but a venomous and brutal snake; who was the real prey?

Violet used message magic to inform Qin Chu of Silf’s whereabouts, asking if she should dispose of her, which wouldn’t be difficult for Violet.

Despite Silf’s decent strength, she was no match for the Storm Witch, and killing her wouldn’t be much harder than dealing with Karsas.

But Qin Chu refused.

This woman, Qin Chu decided, he would deal with personally.

At that moment, Violet understood that what awaited Silf was unparalleled torture.

Antia was by Violet’s side.

This Ghost Knight, as expressionless as ever, appeared indifferent, but perhaps due to spending more time with Qin Chu, her eyes had become more animated and her speech clearer than before.

As friends from a millennium ago, although Antia could not remember anything, they would occasionally gather like this, sitting on a tree branch under the breeze of the night sky, doing nothing, saying nothing, leaning on each other, gazing at the night sky, or whatever else.

Time ticked away, and Silf’s expression grew more and more filled with disgust and revulsion.

Elves do not enjoy such acts, and Qin Chu’s brutish behavior filled Silf with a deep sense of disdain; in her heart, Qin Chu had become utterly worthless, a total scumbag.

His gentlemanly facade was well-maintained on normal days, but once that was peeled away, one could see how filthy his soul truly was.

This bastard deserved to die.

Every passing second of waiting was torture for Silf, as if she were in hell.

Time passed, and at last things calmed down inside the room; Catherine picked up her battle armor that had been thrown all over the place, draped it back over her body, and, swaying her graceful figure, left Qin Chu’s bedroom.

At that moment, Silf let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, it was over.

Now she could finally put an end to this scumbag’s life.

Silf’s shapely body rose from the tree branch, ready to draw her bow and aim an arrow at Qin Chu’s head, intending to pierce his skull.

But her legs went weak and, unable to contain a cry of alarm, her body fell backwards.

Thankfully, Silf was quick with her eyes and hands, grabbing a branch in time to steady herself without being too embarrassed, because the scene she had just secretly witnessed filled her with disgust, hatred, and made her especially sensitive and ashamed.

Her legs had lost their strength and had become limp and numb.

Her embarrassing behavior caused Silf’s face to redden with shame. Luckily, there was no one else nearby, so no one saw the Ghost Shooter’s humiliating state, otherwise, she would have been too ashamed to face anyone.

However, Silf was completely unaware that her ridiculous actions were fully observed by Antia and Violet.

Silf took a breath, comforting herself that it wasn’t an unwanted response from her body, but simply because she had been sitting up in the tree for too long and her legs had gone numb. That was all.

She nodded to herself, yes, that was it.

She adjusted her breathing and stood on tiptoe on a leaf, regaining her graceful posture.

A beautiful bow shimmering with emerald light appeared in her palm; the bow wasn’t very strong, and its ostentatious decorations had seriously impacted its power, but Silf still chose this bow unhesitatingly, because only a bow as beautiful as this was worthy of the equally beautiful and graceful Elf.

Two fingers pinched the bowstring and pulled the bow into a full moon shape with a bit of effort.

Then, along the bowstring, a tendril of magic power spread from her fingertips rapidly solidifying into a grayish-green arrow.

Silf never carried an arrow quiver; it looked too ugly and didn’t suit an Elf’s taste, lacking in elegance. Instead, she preferred to solidify arrows from the Wind Element.

The power was stronger than ordinary arrows, and they were very convenient to use.

One of her eyes narrowed, and in her line of sight, Qin Chu’s just-risen figure overlapped with the tail of the arrow.

"Rest in peace, scum," Silf cursed silently in her heart.

She planned to end Qin Chu’s life directly first and then take his soul to a place where it wouldn’t be discovered to torture thoroughly... Karsas must taste the same pain Qin Chu had inflicted.

In the next instant, her fingers released.

The grayish-green arrow silently tore through the air, aiming straight for the back of Qin Chu’s neck.

However, at that moment, Qin Chu seemed to find something on the ground and suddenly bent over to lower his head.

With a swish, the Wind Arrow brushed past Qin Chu’s hair and pierced through the wall ahead.

This scene left Silf stunned; she was somewhat confused and even doubted whether she had seen something wrong. What exactly had happened? How did Qin Chu dodge it?

She saw Qin Chu was tying his shoelaces.

Could it be that what just happened was purely a coincidence?

Yes, it was very likely. How could Qin Chu possibly dodge her Wind Arrow? Although he indeed had some abilities, that was only because of the unique nature of his strength, which might be effective against Demons and those corrupted by the Evil God, but that didn’t mean he could avoid her attack.

Taking a deep breath, Silf calmed the chaotic thoughts that had emerged in her heart; it was probable that her body had not fully recovered just now, and her hands had trembled, giving Qin Chu the opportunity.

This time, she wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

The bowstring was drawn again.

This time Silf adjusted her aiming angle slightly downwards.

The back of the neck was certainly lethal, but the target was too small. It was better to aim for Qin Chu’s heart from behind. As long as the arrow pierced the heart, it could take his life just the same.

This time, to ensure accuracy, Silf even infused magic power into her eyes, and her emerald eyes shimmered. Her gaze was like a reticle; where she looked, the arrow would surely not stray.

After confirming the target on Qin Chu’s back, a slight curve formed on the corner of Silf’s mouth: "So, truly goodbye, Mr. Brave..."

Upon releasing her fingers, a humming sound filled the air as the arrow traversed the less than one hundred meters between them in an instant, about to pierce Qin Chu’s heart.

Just then, Qin Chu suddenly twisted, reaching to the side to pick up a jacket from a coat rack to put on.

It seemed he was about to leave.

The Wind Arrow brushed past Qin Chu’s back and burrowed into the wall.

Poor wall, another small hole was added.

High in the tree, Silf was dumbfounded, her expression nearly twisted, bordering on going crazy!
