Chapter 401: Chapter 259: Silf is Longing (1)_2

"And so Ronald is very likely being held in Luo Meng’s palace which seems to have no defense?"

Silf nodded, "That is the impression it gave me."

Aileen and Aili, the sisters, looked at each other and after a few seconds, all burst into laughter.

Their clear voices spread through the forest like that of nightingales, very pleasant to the ear.

The two pretty sisters, laughing with such charm, were truly a lovely sight.

However, Silf was somewhat displeased, "What’s so funny?"

"Sylph, do you know that you’re using human thinking to consider the matters of demons..." After a while, Aili stopped laughing and said, "You have to understand, they’re just a group of demons."

"Do they really consider so much?"

"For demons, it might simply be that they think Ronald is held in the dungeon, so it’s heavily guarded."

"As for Luo Meng’s palace, who doesn’t know that guy’s personality? He’s impulsive, reckless, and extremely arrogant, isn’t it very normal for him to not arrange guards nearby his palace?"

Upon hearing this, Silf immediately felt a bit chagrined.

It seemed, that was indeed the case.

She had subconsciously used human thinking to analyze the actions of demons.

One must know that demons are usually brawn over brains, simpler minded than children... Luo Meng’s domain was exactly like that; high-level demons were mostly clustered under the Demon Prince and the Second Prince, while Luo Meng’s realm was filled with low-level demons, with very limited wisdom.

They probably couldn’t concoct such schemes.

She might have really been dealing with humans too much, overcomplicating a simple matter.

After a pause, Aili continued, "Now that we know the exact location, let’s rest a bit to ensure we’re in peak condition. We might have a fierce battle up ahead; everyone be careful, we can’t afford any mistakes."

Silf nodded slightly, her toes touched lightly, and her body floated onto a tree branch, leaning against the trunk. However, her eyes were quietly staring into the distance.

She wasn’t very keen on rescuing Ronald.

Members of the Hero Team often had close companions... for instance, Rose Vesper got along well with everyone, Karsas, Benson, and Muse three had a very good relationship, and Aileen and Aili were close sisters.

But Silf was different.

Even within the Hero Team, she was an outsider.

Apart from Jie Luo and Karsas, she had no deep ties or feelings for any other member. And now, these two were both dead...

What Ronald would end up becoming, she didn’t care.

She was a selfish woman... from the start.

Perhaps, she was inherently a person cold in nature; back in the days in the same team, she was deeply infatuated with Jie Luo, her mind and eyes so filled with him that there was no room for others.

After Jie Luo’s death, she was also very sad, in pain!

But unlike women like Rose Vesper, Catherine, Asina, although she too wallowed in sorrow, her feelings for Jie Luo seemed to gradually fade, albeit very slowly.

And this process accelerated after she met Qin Chu...

Just like now, Silf cared more about the issues with herself. She even hesitated about Jie Luo’s soul fragment, unlike other team members who were desperate to acquire it. If it required risking her life, Silf would have her doubts.

Her slender finger gently rested on the collarbone area of her chest; ever since Qin Chu had drawn out the three threads before, the cross-shaped marks had never appeared again, and Silf could feel that her body seemed to have become a bit lighter.

Regardless, this was a good sign.

But as long as those threads weren’t completely cleared, Silf couldn’t feel at ease.

It seemed like the threads could explode at any moment, eroding her body, turning her into something worse than Karsas... No, into an even more terrifying monster.

Whenever she thought of Karsas’s form, a fear she couldn’t suppress would bubble in Silf’s heart, sometimes jolting her awake even from sleep.

Only when she was by Qin Chu’s side did Silf feel a trace of stability.

That man had a mysterious power that could suppress all the fear in her heart, giving her a subtle sense of security when near him.

Silf’s pretty face flushed slightly with color; after receiving Qin Chu’s treatments several times, her body seemed to have undergone some strange changes.

Whenever Qin Chu’s image surfaced in her mind, she felt an inexplicable heat.

She felt her cheeks burning.

Her pearly teeth bit her lower lip, her eyes becoming somewhat hazy without her realizing it.

Suddenly, her heart yearned for more of Qin Chu’s treatments.

Silf understood her true thoughts; her body was longing for that man, and the so-called treatments were just an excuse.

Could it be that her love for Jie Luo had been transferred to Qin Chu?

She felt shame for the inappropriate thoughts in her heart.

"Hey, Sister Silf, what are you doing?" A voice suddenly reached her ears.

It was Aili.

Her little hand was waving incessantly in front of Silf.

"What are you thinking about? Your face is all red..." Aili’s face was full of suspicion, which turned into knavish playfulness in a flash: "Hee hee, I know! You must be thinking about your lover, right? C’mon, c’mon... tell me who is it? Is it Ronald? In the Hero Team, other than Lord Jie Luo, this guy’s face is still quite decent. You’re definitely happy because we can soon rescue Ronald, aren’t you?"

Ronald...

Thinking of that pompous fool Ronald, a wave of nausea swept over Silf for no reason.

With irritation, she softly slapped Aili’s little head: "What are you talking about? I’m just thinking about when we can resurrect Lord Jie Luo, that’s all."

"Are we preparing to leave? Let’s go!"

While speaking, Silf jumped down from the tree.

Actually thinking about Brother Jie Luo?

Aili’s eyes suddenly narrowed behind her.

Brother Jie Luo was for her and her sister alone; she wouldn’t let him go to that elf with ancestral regression!

That’s right, after Brother Jie Luo’s resurrection, they would become rivals to Catherine, Rose Vesper, Asina, and Silf once again.

Aili’s face bloomed with a naive yet brilliant smile, pondering the lively competition for Brother Jie Luo that would surely ensue.

But then again...

From childhood to the present, no one who had competed with them for anything had ever met with a good end!
