Chapter 289: Chapter 181 The Enchanting Demon Lover (3)

Silf returned to her own bedroom.

She wrapped her shapely body in the blanket, hesitation and fear written on her face.

She didn’t know what she should do now, if only she could discuss with Asina, Rose Vesper, or Ronald, the three smartest members of the Hero Team.

But Ronald was not here.

For Asina and Rose Vesper, saving Lord Jie Luo was the most important thing, just as Qin Chu had instructed before leaving—the more people who knew about her being corrupted by the Evil God, the greater her danger. Those two were very likely to betray her to prevent the Hero Team’s status from dropping again, even if it meant enacting a drama of righteousness destroying kin.

She couldn’t discuss the matter with anyone; she had to make the judgment herself, which was by no means an easy decision for Silf.

Silf disliked Qin Chu intensely, or rather, she was extremely averse to any touch from the opposite sex.

Under no circumstances did she want to lose her purity to Qin Chu.

But...

All creatures cherish their lives.

Silf was no exception.

She knew all too well that once she accepted Qin Chu’s treatment, her impure body would not be worthy to stay by Lord Jie Luo’s side, let alone become his wife.

But even so, Silf still wanted to see Jie Luo one more time.

Even if she couldn’t stay by his side like Rose Vesper, Aili, and Aileen, being able to watch from afar, see Jie Luo safe and sound, see Jie Luo living happily, that would be enough for her.

If she died, then there would be no future at all.

Perhaps, accepting Qin Chu’s treatment was the only way for her to survive.

After a long time, Silf sighed dejectedly, not being able to think of any better solution no matter how hard she racked her brains.

The corruption of the Evil God, the cleansing of the filth, currently only Qin Chu could do it, not even Augustus... Even if Augustus truly could do it, the thought of giving herself over to such a disgusting old man made Silf feel even worse, Qin Chu would be better by comparison.

After all, Qin Chu was younger and a bit more handsome.

His talent was also extraordinarily exaggerated, having grown to an astonishing degree of strength in not much time since arriving at the Sky Dome Continent.

He was also a Hero, with a lofty status. Even Wozworth called Qin Chu "brother," and Augustus, Saint Monica also treated him with respect.

After a little thought, Silf was surprised to find that from any angle, this was definitely a very outstanding man, and the aversion in her heart lessened slightly.

Although the process would still be extremely tormenting, she could endure it.

Despite Qin Chu’s assertion that the severity of her corruption was shallow, and there was still plenty of time to think, Silf still felt that it was better to resolve this issue sooner rather than later.

...

Elsewhere, Qin Chu, who had left the palace, had a calm expression.

Silf was an excellent subject... He would make good use of Silf’s body and soul; he wanted to understand exactly how the Evil God’s corruption of humans was accomplished, and also, what criteria the Evil God used to select targets?

If he could discover the pattern, it would provide additional security when facing the Evil God.

In fact, the moment he saw Silf, Qin Chu noticed that the real corruption was branded on the soul, with the flesh simply showing the soul’s corruption.

Therefore, it was only Silf’s soul that truly needed careful study.

But extracting the soul from the body was not an easy task.

The human soul is extremely tightly linked to the body; the soul automatically separates when the body dies, but while alive, they are perfectly united, and forcibly separating them was extremely difficult, not as easily done as depicted in cultivation novels.

"Antia, are you interested in Silf’s body?" Qin Chu suddenly asked out of the blue.

Antia had already returned inside Qin Chu, and immediately responded to his question, "Not interested."

Qin Chu touched his nose, alright, he thought maybe Antia could possess Silf’s body, that way, Antia could live openly in this world with her soul and Silf’s body.

After all, Antia was different from Violet and Shaye.

Shaye was forcibly bound to him now, unable to separate.

Violet herself held the authority of the Lord of Storm, her simulated body almost indistinguishable from a real one, except for being a bit taller.

Among the three, only Antia could be considered the purest Ghost.

Even though the Ghost Knight was strong, a pure Ghost state had a huge flaw: facing Holy Light Magic meant directly suffering double damage, and having a negative defense value against thunder and fire powers.

Silf’s soul was filthy, and Qin Chu did not intend to keep it.

But the shell was still good, he thought it could be used as a vessel for Antia, but it seemed Antia had no interest whatsoever.

It was not yet dawn, and the city was still shrouded in a light mist, having just had a light rain, dark and damp, with the ground a little muddy to walk on.

There were Soldiers on patrol.

These Soldiers were filled with complaints about their work; the recent period had seen two descents of the Evil God, causing martial law within the Imperial City, and the workload of the Patrol Soldiers had essentially doubled.
