Chapter 416: Chapter 269: Bringing Nuclear Peace to the Sky Dome Continent (1)_2

However, there was plenty of time to deal with this guy later; Qin Chu was in no hurry.

"Alright, Lex, you can go back and prepare weapons for Qin," Wozworth waved his hand and said.

Lex, as he was now, didn’t warrant Wozworth’s attention, nor could Wozworth imagine that this insignificant swordsmith he barely noticed would one day sweep away most of the Empire’s wealth, leaving Wozworth so frustrated he itched to the core yet could do nothing about it.

Before the Emperor, Lex dared not be presumptuous and quickly bowed and scraped his way out.

After this discordant person left, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward. Whether it was Wozworth, Augustus, or those nobles, their gazes fell on Qin Chu from time to time, yet they didn’t know how to start the conversation.

And Qin Chu was already well aware of their reactions.

The Seventh Prince, Warren, had tipped him off earlier.

So, you want to interfere with the women I take? Do you think you’re qualified? Don’t you think you’re meddling too much?

"Ladies and gentlemen, is this about the Snow Woman Helois and the Blood Elf Iyeta?" Qin Chu picked up the teacup from the table, took a light sip, and said, his breath relaxed without any trace of tension. He had already guessed that the incident with the Hero and the Monster Girls would not pass so easily. After all, the hopes of the entire Sky Dome Continent rested on him as the Hero.

These people hoped that the Hero would devote his entire energy to the humans of the Sky Dome Continent and had no desire to see Monster Girls existing beside the Hero.

Qin Chu’s voice broke the oppressive silence of the room, and Wozworth immediately took the opportunity to say, "Qin, it’s not that I want to criticize you, I know you like... cough, beautiful women. To be honest, who doesn’t? I like it too. I also prefer to sleep with a beautiful woman beneath me at night, not some monstrosity..."

Rude, too damn rude.

Upon hearing this, many nobles turned their gaze away, trying to look like upright gentlemen, distinct from the crude Wozworth.

Nobles, no matter how filthy their actions behind the scenes, always maintain elegance and dignity on the surface.

Only Saint Monica spat out lightly, showing disdain for Wozworth’s words.

Wozworth, unfazed by the looks of others, continued: "But, you can’t just settle for anything."

"They may be beautiful, but those are demons. You, my brother, are a Hero. If this gets out, it could ruin your reputation," he added.

Augustus also nodded, appearing as a concerned elder, advising earnestly, "We all believe Mr. Brave is wholeheartedly fighting for the Sky Dome Continent, but Mr. Brave knows not everyone shares our views, especially the commoners... Mr. Brave taking Snow Woman and Blood Elf under his wing might lead some to question your allegiance to humanity. Others might take the chance to criticize, spreading rumors that you’ve allied with the demons..."

"We’re saying this for the sake of your reputation; this matter really has a terrible impact," he said.

Wozworth quickly added, "Right, right, Brother Qin. I’m saying this because I care about you. Even if you really fancy the Snow Woman and the Blood Elf, just sneak them away and hide them. Visit them occasionally, and that’s enough, why make such a big fuss as if you want the whole world to know?"

And all because of this spark, there was even the death of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect’s Saint Heir involved.

"If you’re really short on women, I can’t guarantee anything else, but if you just stand in the street and shout, the daughters of nobility could fill the whole street. There are fat ones, slim ones, busty and flat-chested. Whatever type you want, they are all available. You can pick and choose to your heart’s content. Why insist on Monster Girls?"

As crude as Wozworth’s words were, it was clear everyone agreed with this view.

As the Hero, Qin Chu really was not suitable to be with Monster Girls.

Qin Chu wore a smile, but inside, he was scoffing.

Noble girls?

Sorry, but in Qin Chu’s view, compared to noble ladies, Monster Girls might be somewhat cleaner.

Of course, Qin Chu wouldn’t be so foolish to say such things out loud.

He put down the teacup, then spread his hands with a somewhat helpless gesture, "Ladies and gentlemen..."

"What kind of person do you take me for?"

"Do you think I am someone who regards lust as life?"

You are!

From the gazes of the many nobles around him, Qin Chu could clearly read this message, which made him quite helpless.

The people of the Sky Dome Continent really misunderstood him deeply.

It’s quite grievous, alright.

Qin Chu felt it necessary to clear up the misunderstandings people had about him.

He calmly stood up, his face filled with a gentle smile, "Please rest assured, everyone, I am the hero you have summoned, and I will definitely complete the tasks of my duty well, bringing peace to the Sky Dome Continent..."

"This goal will not change, no matter what happens."

"However, while achieving this goal, to satisfy a little desire in my heart, I don’t think that’s too much of an ask."

A desire? You mean lust, right?

To put it bluntly, you’re just saying it because you find the Snow Woman and Blood Elf attractive, although those two demon women are indeed very beautiful.

"As for me siding with demons, that’s completely nonsensical. If I had sided with demons, I wouldn’t have come back at all, not to mention that while I do find monster girls charming, I actually prefer maids."

A bunch of nobles rolled their eyes. Wouldn’t the monster girl be invincible if she dressed up as a maid?

"There’s no helping it, who makes me such a loving person?" Qin Chu shrugged and made his final summary.

The atmosphere was quite strange. Clearly, the hero had expressed his stance; he wouldn’t give up the two monster girls he’d acquired for any reason.

A nobleman furrowed his brows. None of the nobles attending this meeting were fools; each was cunning. They didn’t want female demons appearing by the hero’s side, which would make them feel uneasy.

But they definitely would not offend Qin Chu rashly, so even if they wanted to rebuke or doubt Qin Chu, they’d definitely start by praising him first:

"Mr. Brave, we deeply admire your noble character, but it’s precisely for this reason we don’t want to see any stains on your honor, they are, after all, merely two dirty demons..."

Before the noble could finish, Qin Chu had already leisurely walked behind the noble, one hand resting on the noble’s shoulder, his face with a peculiar smile, and in a voice low as a mosquito’s, he whispered into the noble’s ear, "Marquis Strachey..."

"Little Ywei tastes good, doesn’t she?"

Creak.

The voice of Marquis Strachey immediately stuck in his throat.

His eyes widened, mouth slightly agape, a face full of disbelief.

Little Ywei was a small Enchanting Demon that Marquis Strachey spent six hundred thousand Mana to capture by hiring a group of skilled mercenaries to sneak into demon territory.

She had been kept locked up in his mansion, not allowed to take half a step outside.

How did Qin Chu come to know of this?

Looking at Qin Chu’s face full of a gentle smile, Strachey felt his scalp tingle.

That smile was like a warning aimed directly at him: Surely, Marquis, you wouldn’t want the fact that you’re keeping an Enchanting Demon to become public, would
