Chapter 43: Chapter 37 Can I Kill Him? (1)

Qin Chu only felt darkness before his eyes and could no longer see anything; his cheeks were surrounded by softness.

He pondered solely on touch!

Although Catherine was one of Qin Chu’s most hated enemies, second only to Rose Vesper, during the first week, Qin Chu had treated Catherine as if she were his own sister.

The deeper the love, the stronger the hate.

But, he had to admit that Catherine’s figure was impeccable.

At the age of thirty-six, her skin was still as fair as a young girl’s, and for someone whose strength had already reached the Valkyrie Level, Catherine’s lifespan was much longer than that of an ordinary person. Thus, being in her thirties was really no issue at all.

Years of consistent training had also sculpted an athletic and sensually appealing figure, possibly having the best skin elasticity among all the female members of the Hero Team.

During the first week, he might have really been taken aback by Catherine’s actions, so much so that he couldn’t even discern the dry, unfluctuating tone in Catherine’s formal reading.

On the other hand, Rose Vesper was staring dumbfounded, her face full of shock watching Catherine.

Well, she had only told Catherine to seduce Qin Chu a little, step by step; too big a step, and you’re likely to stumble.

She hadn’t expected Catherine to be so bold, but perhaps this was also a perfect use of her strengths?

However, such actions might not be very effective because, in Rose Vesper’s view, Qin Chu possessed a severe inferiority complex, particularly when facing accomplished, high-status women. This complex only let Qin Chu have the courage to take liberties with the likes of maids.

Speaking of which, it was about time.

Being held by Catherine, motionless, was consistent with being startled by her sudden embrace, but eventually, he had to come back to his senses.

When Qin Chu started feeling slightly suffocated, he immediately began to struggle fiercely, one hand landing on Catherine’s athletic waist, as if trying to push her away.

This was exactly what he had done in his past life, but how to put it: trying to replicate something he’d done before without the slightest difference was actually quite a difficult task.

Qin Chu just wanted to push Catherine away, yet whether it was because her dress was too delicate, his hand slipped, descending below her waistline.

Below his palm, the curve was astonishing.

"Hey, is this also a part of your acting?"

Shaye, who had been enjoying Qin Chu’s performance, couldn’t help but make a sarcastic comment upon seeing this.

"No, this isn’t acting, it’s a pure blunder."

"Absolutely not intentional."

Qin Chu also defended himself in his mind.

Catherine’s entire body instantly stiffened, seemingly shuddering for a moment.

Qin Chu couldn’t see, but Shaye saw everything clearly; behind Catherine, her long, crimson hair began to lift without wind, and clusters of flames danced upon the strands. The temperature in the room seemed to skyrocket at that moment, the air becoming somewhat distorted.

She bit her lip hard, clearly on the verge of losing patience, her gaze on the brink of madness fixed on Rose Vesper.

Without doubt, Catherine was asking Rose Vesper:

Can I kill him?

Shaye watched this comedic scene with a giggly delight, thoroughly amused.

Catherine was almost at her breaking point, increasingly regretting convincing Rose Vesper to abandon the plan to immediately punish Qin Chu. Such a scoundrel should be dealt with on the spot.

Rose Vesper desperately shook her head at Catherine, making eye signals and moving her lips repeatedly without making a sound.

It seemed she was uttering the word "Jie Luo," reminding Catherine to think of Jie Luo and, regardless of any grievances she currently had, to endure it for his sake.

Under Rose Vesper’s earnest persuasion, Catherine managed to barely restrain the anger in her heart and did not explode on the spot.

But continuing to embrace Qin Chu was also unbearable for Catherine, so she quickly let go of her arms.

Qin Chu stumbled several steps backward as if he had just emerged from drowning, gasping for air with a flushed face and involuntarily glancing sideways.

After catching his breath, he looked at Catherine with a complex expression, "This, Miss... what are you doing?"

Indeed, his face was red, which must mean he was embarrassed.

After all, for a man like Qin Chu who only had the courage to attack a contemptible maid, facing a superior woman like Catherine, he would naturally not have the courage to approach and feel embarrassed.

Rose Vesper sneered in her heart, but her fair face maintained a tender smile: "Mr. Brave, this is Catherine, a member of the Hero Team. She is here to teach you Martial Arts and Fighting Energy. Her personality is just like this, frank and straightforward, so you shouldn’t mind."

"Catherine, you should also try to restrain yourself a bit, it’s not polite to be so disrespectful to Mr. Brave."

Catherine cracked a wry smile, You think I want to do this? Isn’t it because you said that we need occasional close contact to entice Qin Chu, and to snatch him away from Angelica’s hands?

Damn, the guy’s saliva was all over my chest.

I feel as if I have been defiled.

At the very least, I will need to use a whole bar of soap to clean my body later.

As the intermediary, Rose Vesper introduced the two parties to each other, and Qin Chu invited them inside to sit and discuss. They decided to start instructing Qin Chu immediately, allowing him to begin mastering the power of the Sky Dome Continent.

Since Catherine did not have a residence, she temporarily lived in the palace as well, which, according to Rose Vesper, would also ensure Qin Chu’s safety.

However, Qin Chu was well aware that the protection was probably just a pretext, while monitoring might be the true purpose.

Qin Chu did not object to this arrangement, accepting the offer quite serenely.

Then Qin Chu noticed that Rose Vesper was sneakily watching him as if she had some questions to ask but did not know how to start. So, he actively gave Rose Vesper an opening: "Holy Daughter, is there something on my face? You’ve been staring at me..."

Rose Vesper’s pretty face turned slightly red as she perfected the expression of an innocent young girl: "Ah, I apologize, it was impolite of me... just that, Mr. Brave, you look so... disheveled. What on earth happened?"

Qin Chu somewhat embarrassedly patted down his messy hair that looked like sea grass: "I’ve been busy clearing demons from the city these past few days and haven’t had time to care for my appearance. I am truly sorry for being so unkempt."

Rose Vesper seemed somewhat angry, "What about Angelica? I haven’t seen her around?"

"Tending to the master’s appearance is one of the duties of a maid. The master’s lack of decorum is a maid’s disgrace. Angelica, as a maid, is truly unqualified."

Rose Vesper wasn’t going to let go of any opportunity to criticize Angelica and tarnish her image in Qin Chu’s eyes:

"Could it be because Mr. Brave comes from a Different World, she assumes Qin Chu doesn’t know the rules of this world and, therefore, slacks off?"

Qin Chu waved his hands hastily, "No, no, no, this isn’t Angelica’s fault."

"I heard Angelica is good at cooking, and wanted to taste her culinary skills, so Angelica went to Roblensa Market alone to shop for groceries. She probably won’t be back until evening."

Rose Vesper was slightly taken aback.

Alone, to Roblensa Market?
