Chapter 421: Chapter 273: Blessing of the Holy Light Goddess (5)

The unusual behavior of the goddess hair and the Little Tree Seedling was somewhat surprising to Qin Chu.

Ever since they had resided within him, the goddess hair and the Little Tree Seedling had been very well-behaved, contributing their strength during battles occasionally, and most of the time just staying quietly inside him.

The goddess hair was even a medium for Qin Chu to contact the goddess trapped in the Void.

Like today, to actively show anomalies was a first.

For a moment, Qin Chu was surprised.

He did not rashly suppress the anomalies of the goddess hair and the Little Tree Seedling but pondered what exactly was happening.

The surprise and contemplation of Qin Chu were seen by Wozworth, who took it as reluctance on the part of the Emperor.

Wozworth understood Qin Chu’s resistance, and although he would definitely prepare, Qin Chu was strong but still facing the sinister and weird Witch Association, there were certainly worries about danger.

The anomalies of the Little Tree Seedling and the goddess hair did not last long, probably just a few seconds, before they returned to normal.

The goddess hair still twined around his wrist, the original heat having dissipated.

The little tree Seedling also coiled quietly within his body, showing no abnormalities.

It seemed that the issue was resolved?

Although not quite understanding what had happened, it seemed to have caused no trouble, which somewhat reassured Qin Chu.

Noticing that Wozworth was still watching him, Qin Chu coughed softly, "I’m very sorry, Your Majesty the Emperor, I seem to have been distracted."

"However, you need not worry, as long as it benefits the Sky Dome Continent, I will not refuse."

Wozworth was immediately overjoyed.

This time, he intended to wipe out the Blissful Witch Association completely, hoping his Princess was not among them.

...

On the other hand, Carol had also left the conference room.

She did not host a private gathering but participated in the subsequent meetings as a member of the Hero Team, merely remaining silent throughout.

The disgraceful behavior of the nobles was all observed by Carol.

When she heard from Qin Chu that the Snow Woman, the Blood Elf, and the Enchanting Demon might be captured, the performance of those nobles made Carol feel disdain.

These guys, did they not realize Qin Chu was just bluffing?

In this world, verbal promises hold no value whatsoever.

Moreover, with Qin Chu’s personality, if he really captured the Snow Woman and Enchanting Demon, how could he possibly hand them over to you?

Dream on!

Of course, those cunning nobles aren’t likely to have missed Qin Chu’s bluff... however, for those old foxes, since preventing Qin Chu from taking Helois and Iyeta is no longer possible, and they do not have the courage to rebut Qin Chu, they might as well pretend to be ignorant and let the matter slide.

Compared to those old foxes, although Carol was clever, she lacked a certain slyness.

Neither the atmosphere at the banquet nor in the conference room was to Carol’s liking.

Having lived a carefree, trouble-free life in the Imperial Palace from a young age, Carol’s life was something many people envied.

But it also fostered a somewhat twisted character in Carol, who was not content to remain in a greenhouse and longed for things that could stimulate her body and soul.

As soon as she stepped out, Carol stretched her arms vigorously without any regard for royal etiquette, drawing out seductive curves with her even, beautiful body.

Suddenly, Carol’s nose twitched slightly.

The arms she had raised were slowly lowered.

Carol’s brows furrowed together, and she took another deep breath... the air was tinged with the scent of blood.

Talent Authority—Beast’s Instinct.

Beast’s Instinct: High Order Power, you will possess an eagle’s vision, a bat’s hearing, and a bear’s sense of smell.

Although the scent of blood in the air was faint, Carol still sharply sensed it.

Having nothing better to do, Carol followed the drifting scent of blood, and soon, the Princess’s figure appeared in a garden.

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground that had not been cleaned up, Carol’s frown deepened.

She initially thought it might be that someone accidentally cut their hand or something, but upon arriving here, Carol realized that it was not as simple as she had imagined, as clear footprints could be seen on the ground.

The air was still filled with residual magic power fluctuations.

Had there been a conflict here?

Carol’s sharp little mind sensed that something bad might have happened; she lightly wrinkled her nose, gauged the direction the scent of blood was coming from, and quickly followed.

After an unknown period, having almost left the Imperial Palace, Carol finally found the source of the blood scent.

There were two guards, supporting a motionless maid who seemed to have died.

Could it be that a Princess had again angrily killed a serving maid? Such events were common in the palace, after all, the Princesses were almost always from Duke or Marquis families, known for their bad temper.

In front of their father, lacking the guts to show anger, it was quite normal to vent on the serving maids instead.

But Carol always felt that things weren’t so simple, and most importantly, the maid costume on the maid looked familiar to Carol, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

A bad premonition began to grow in her heart.

Suddenly, she widened her eyes.

Carol carried the duty of bridging the gap between the Hero and the Royal Family, but this clever Princess knew that it was difficult to directly please Qin Chu, so she considered that approaching the women around Qin Chu might even be more effective. Therefore, although she was a Princess, Carol often made deliberate efforts to ingratiate herself with Angelica at the front lines.

That maid costume... she had seen it on Angelica before.

This woman, was she Qin Chu’s personal maid, and also the beloved Angelica by Qin Chu’s side?

Carol’s body trembled with a shock, her face pale with fear, devoid of any color.

She even felt like she was about to faint.

This was a complete disaster.

This was the Hero’s most beloved woman, now dead within the Imperial Palace?

Given Qin Chu’s personality, it was predictable that he would turn the Imperial Palace upside down, let alone bring them closer; it might just become an unresolvable blood feud.

Damn it, what on earth happened here?

Carol scarcely had time to ponder how to resolve this issue, her body swept forward like a light breeze, and in an instant, she blocked the path of the two guards.

"Stop, what exactly is going on here?" Carol didn’t even notice that her voice had turned somewhat shrill with fear.

After getting closer, Carol became more certain that this woman was indeed Angelica, her delicate skin instantly covered with goosebumps.

The two guards, looking somewhat dazed, apparently hadn’t expected Carol to appear so suddenly and didn’t know how to handle it, and for a moment it was silent as a graveyard.

The guard’s confounded look made Carol even more impatient.

Just then, Angelica, who had been hanging her head motionless the whole time, suddenly raised her head, her cherry lips forcefully sucked in a breath.

The heart that had stopped beating now started to beat slowly.

Her previously dull eyes quickly regained their brilliance, and looking at Carol, Angelica’s voice came out almost hoarse, "Kill them!"

That voice made Carol’s scalp tingle. Was this still Angelica’s clear, tender voice?

Seeing the two guards probably because of Angelica’s resurrection, their eyes began to show a hint of bloodiness, their faces shifting towards ferocity.

Although Carol wasn’t clear about what exactly was happening, her reaction was extremely fast, and without a moment’s hesitation, her whip swung out swiftly.

Only a crack was heard.

The whip burst open right on one guard’s neck.

Accompanied by a bursting sound, the guard’s neck was instantly reduced to pieces.

Immediately, the tip of the whip snake-like in mid-air, swiftly coiled around the throat of the other guard and with a hiss, the throat was torn apart, blood spurting out.

Carol’s strength, although not the strongest in the Hero Team, was more than enough to deal with these ordinary guards.

Seeing that without the support of the guards, Angelica was about to fall to the ground, Carol hurriedly stepped forward, catching Angelica in her arms.

Carol didn’t know how to describe her feelings.

She thought that Angelica’s death would involve the Royal Family, perhaps even the entire Sky Dome Continent, and it wasn’t impossible that a wrathful Qin Chu might choose to collaborate with the demons.

Even the clever and resourceful Carol, with a firm mind, couldn’t help but feel despair in that moment.

Unexpectedly, Angelica, who had already been dead, somehow came back to life.

And even directly demanded the killing of the two guards.

Carol felt as though she had suddenly fallen into Hell and then shot straight into Heaven.

Embracing Angelica, Carol’s small hands trembled uncontrollably; her lips were still ashen, and though her mouth opened with many things to say and questions to clear up, she didn’t know how to start speaking for a while.

After struggling for a long time she finally managed to choke out a sentence, "Miss Angelica, what exactly is going on here?"

Angelica was gasping heavily; on her face was a slightly neurotic smile, she had won the bet.

The Holy Light Goddess was really watching over her.

Life or death.

Ten percent chance of coming back to life after death, and she had seized that slim chance.

She had actually been alive for about a minute already.

But, just having experienced death, Angelica was in an extremely weak state, her combat ability nearly gone, she could only desperately suppress her heartbeat and breathing, waiting for her chance, until Carol appeared, and finally, her chance arrived.

Tasting death wasn’t pleasant.

But Angelica had no regrets.

Her throat moved as she continued gasping heavily.

Angelica didn’t have much time to adjust her condition, just a few seconds had passed, and she suddenly grabbed Carol’s hands, "Quick, take me to my master, or... the Emperor!"
