Hero? Are You Worthy?
Chapter 44 - 38 City Beauty Love (2)

Chapter 44: Chapter 38 City Beauty Love (2)

Alone? Roblensa Market.

In an instant, Rose Vesper felt her heart pounding.

The current Angelica was without Qin Chu by her side, far from the palace, and also wearing a collar around her neck, her own power completely sealed...

Gulp!

Rose Vesper’s throat couldn’t help but slightly move.

A certain thought was burning hotter and hotter in Rose Vesper’s heart.

She had an impulse to leave immediately, but doing so would be too obvious. Rose Vesper endured it, continuing to chat with Qin Chu in a half-hearted way, though her thoughts had long since flown elsewhere.

Only when the time was almost right and Catherine was prepared to start teaching Qin Chu Strength did Rose Vesper finally stand up to take her leave.

When she reached the door, Rose Vesper couldn’t help but stop in her tracks, turning again to look at Qin Chu, asking the question that had been pressing on her heart for several days, a question that made Rose Vesper feel almost suffocated with depression.

"Mr. Brave..."

Rose Vesper’s beautiful brows gently furrowed, as if she too was carefully choosing her words.

"At the previous banquet, why did you not... not choose me, but instead chose Angelica?"

"You knew full well that I... I am the one spoken of in the oracle, the lover of the Hero..."

This was a hurdle Rose Vesper couldn’t get over in her heart.

This woman was very good at acting; her face wore sorrow, along with a hint of bashfulness, bringing the expression of a girl forsaken by the love of her heart to the ultimate.

In this respect, Catherine was far behind Rose Vesper; they were not even on the same level.

Rose Vesper had to know, in what way was she inferior to Angelica.

Qin Chu had not anticipated that Rose Vesper harbored such strong obsession with this matter. He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to curse outright that she was nothing but a shameless actress, and looked at Rose Vesper with pursed lips:

"Unworthy!"

Hiss...

Rose Vesper took a sharp intake of breath, her body quivering suddenly, as a powerful murderous intent nearly burst forth.

"Are you saying that I am not worthy of you?"

"No, Holy Daughter, you misunderstand; it’s not that you’re not worthy of me, it’s that I am not worthy of you."

Qin Chu seemed to have let go completely, not caring about anything anymore, speaking words that even he found somewhat sickening and against his conscience:

"You are so beautiful, holy, kind..."

"Being around you, I feel a deep sense of disgrace; even breathing the same air, I worry that I might taint you..."

"If you were to become my lover, I might do something terrible to you in a moment of emotional loss of control. I don’t want to hurt you," Qin Chu replied quietly.

It seems it was indeed this man’s feelings of inferiority at play.

Since Rose Vesper had already conjectured this before, it was easy for her to accept the answer Qin Chu gave.

She suddenly became cheerful, not because she was inferior to Angelica, but rather, precisely because she was too beautiful, too excellent, to this man with inferiority, she was like the sun that could scorch him, which is why he dared not approach her.

She was filled with confidence again, even more inflated than before.

Indeed, how could she possibly be inferior to Angelica.

Qin Chu’s answer filled Rose Vesper with much more confidence in snatching him back from Angelica’s hands. If she just lowered her pride a little and beckoned, she had no doubt this man would come running to her like a dog.

Her compliant golden hair shook gently, and her slender, tall figure bent slightly as two snow-white hands lifted the hem of the Saintess costume, curtsying:

"Mr. Brave, you don’t need to feel so inferior, you are the most outstanding Hero."

"This is not your homeland, yet you are willing to work for this world. Your noble character is admirable, your talent unrivaled, you are the finest of people."

"It is Rose Vesper who is not worthy of you."

"Nevertheless, Rose Vesper will work even harder to become a girl worthy of standing by Mr. Brave’s side."

This woman’s scheming.

From beginning to end, she never once said she liked Qin Chu.

Yet her words could not help but create the illusion that she might be fond of one, could they?

Any person of the opposite sex, upon hearing this, would probably reveal a look just like Qin Chu’s—surprised, pleased, and with a hint of incredulous excitement.

Knowing when to quit while she was ahead, Rose Vesper took one last look at Qin Chu’s expression, then she left.

She returned to her own residence.

When she was left alone in her pure white, empty room, her face finally showed a different expression—self-satisfied and malevolent, with a fierce murderous intent, and contemplative of her cunning plots.

That fool Qin Chu inadvertently revealed to Rose Vesper a piece of crucial intelligence that Angelica was now alone in Roblensa Market...

Killing Angelica now would be the perfect opportunity.

The last time she’d tried to kill Angelica, Augustus had stopped her. Should she take advantage of this moment...

No... That won’t do.

Quickly, Rose Vesper dismissed the idea.

After all, Qin Chu had told her of Angelica’s whereabouts, and though there were certainly many people who had seen Angelica along the way, it would still raise suspicions about her in Qin Chu’s mind.

This would not bode well for her plans to entice and win over Qin Chu.

Now that she had a specific plan for reviving Lord Jie Luo, Rose Vesper would not allow any complications to arise.

But thinking of the sacrifices Catherine made to lure Qin Chu, Rose Vesper shivered. She had no intention of letting a man like Qin Chu touch her body.

Her pure body was for Lord Jie Luo alone, no one else.

Whenever she thought of Jie Luo, her eyes misted over.

Her small hand pulled open a drawer on the side of the silver table, and Rose Vesper took out a photo frame with a Magic Image inside.

Ah, Lord Jie Luo.

You’re so utterly charming.

I will never let that filthy man take your place.

If only there were a way to turn Qin Chu into my most loyal lapdog.

As Rose Vesper was thinking, an idea suddenly occurred to her.

She quickly opened another drawer, which contained a metal box sealed with a Magic Seal. Inside it were just seven bottles of a shimmering pale pink medicine.

This was a special Magic Potion concocted by Rose Vesper.

The ingredients used were all exceedingly precious, and Rose Vesper had made only these seven bottles.

Besides various valuable materials, some special ingredients were needed: the maker’s bodily fluids, blood, and saliva.

Within the Magic Potion bottles, there was also a single golden curled hair, floating in the middle.

The potion had a beautiful name: City Beauty Love.

Take one bottle every week.

Any person of the opposite sex that continuously took City Beauty Love for seven weeks would become hopelessly and irrevocably in love with the maker of the Magic Potion, becoming the most faithful lapdog...

Wasn’t this the best way to control Qin Chu?
