Chapter 451: Chapter 303: Fall into the Abyss (5)

Strength surged within her body, accompanied by blood.

This was the only way for the two sisters to gain each other’s strength.

The delicate, pale neck wriggled rapidly as she swallowed greedily, the corresponding result making Aili’s complexion grow paler as her body began to struggle painfully, trying to break free from her sister’s grip.

But Aili, who had been seriously injured from the start, had no room to resist and could only watch helplessly as the blood and strength inside her were devoured by her sister.

Her already petite body quickly became emaciated and withered.

Her skin turned pale, no longer tender.

She vividly felt the life and strength draining out of her body, a terrible experience, especially without even the strength to struggle.

In contrast, Aileen felt the strength within her burgeoning continuously; her Attributes, her Level, were rapidly increasing.

The energies within the two sisters were so alike that when absorbed into her own body, there was not the slightest rejection.

That constantly increasing sense of empowerment excited Aileen.

The cries of Aili were steadily weakening.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but finally, Aileen released Aili, her fair fingers gently caressing her slightly bloated belly.

Feeling the considerable increase in strength within her body, Aileen’s eyes were filled with madness, delicately wiping the last drop of blood from Aili’s neck with a slender finger, sweeping it with her tongue and swallowing it.

Now Aileen felt that, amalgamating the strength of the two sisters, she possessed power comparable to Zimmerman, Level 89, a force few in this world could rival.

Whether it was Qin Chu, the Second Generation Brave Warrior, Catherine the madwoman, Silf the wretch, or Rose Vesper the outcast, she was confident she could defeat them.

She was now so powerful.

Is this what being invincible feels like? It’s truly mesmerizing.

Her gaze swept over her sister, who had just willingly offered all her strength, whose skin had become dry and parched. She wasn’t dead yet, but her body had collapsed on the ground, she was just gasping, occasionally convulsing.

Such was the so-called deep sisterly love.

My poor sister, your current state is truly miserable...

Aileen was also somewhat dissatisfied; she had thought that merging their energies would elevate her to Level 90, making her as mighty as those from Saint Monica, but she was still stuck at Level 89.

This barrier was not so easy to break through.

Looking at her sister’s hate-filled eyes, Aileen playfully stuck out her tongue and crouched down, her hand gently patting her sister’s cracked cheek: "Don’t hate me, sister. I still love you, see? Even though you wanted to kill me, I still spared your life."

Aili’s lips trembled continuously. She hadn’t expected that after planning for so long, all the advantages, even her beloved Jie Luo, would be stolen by this damned woman.

Looking at the woman standing above her with a victorious attitude, her voice croaky, she said, "Aileen, you will meet a horrible end, you will die a horrendous death—so very horrendous..."

A bitter curse.

Her voice sounded like rusted metal screeching against each other, causing one’s scalp to tingle.

This was the only thing Aili could do now.

Aileen didn’t take her sister’s curse to heart. Her opponent was already in such a wretched state, letting her vent a bit was completely fine: "Will I meet a dreadful end in the future? Perhaps, but it’s a pity you won’t see it."

"But, you’re right about one thing..."

"Rest easy, I’ll take good care of Jie Luo."

That sentence nearly drove Aili to death on the spot.

Her throat emitted gruff, rattling sounds, and her arms trembled as if trying to lift and scratch that hideous face just inches away; but her body just didn’t have the strength to do so.

She could only watch, eyes wide open, as her sister, smug with victory, abandoned her in this wilderness and walked away.

Aili continued cursing and swearing, using every spiteful word she could think of against her sister, but ultimately nothing changed; her body had lost the wherewithal to move.

Her throat was so dry.

It hurt so much, she was so thirsty, she desperately wanted water.

It wouldn’t be long before she died, would it?

After all her scheming, to end up like this, Aili’s heart filled with desolation.

Just then, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Near despair, hope flickered in Aili’s heart again; perhaps she could still survive.

"Tsk, what a touching scene, truly the depth of sisterly love, it’s almost making me tear up," said a man’s voice, flippant and somewhat familiar... and from his words, it seemed he had been watching from behind the whole time?

Whose voice was that?

Asina seemed so familiar, yet Aili just couldn’t recall her at the moment.

A shadow fell across her face, and Aili finally saw who was behind her. When she saw that face, the already immobile Aili’s body suddenly started convulsing violently, "Qin Chu, it’s actually you?"

Indeed, the man who appeared behind her was none other than the Second Generation Brave Warrior, Qin Chu.

Right next to Qin Chu were four women: Helois the Snow Woman, Antasia, a woman in black clothes whom she didn’t recognize, and... Asina?

"No... no way, Asina, I’ve slit your throat, you’re already dead, how can you still be alive? This is impossible!" Aili screamed uncontrollably, her voice sounding less threatening as her body weakened further.

Moreover, why would Asina show up with Qin Chu? Could it be that Asina really was the spy Qin Chu had left in the former Hero Team? Aili had accused Asina of these charges on a whim, and they turned out to be true?

"My master revived me, from today onwards, I shall live for my master’s sake." Asina said calmly, her gaze on Aileen lacking any pity, only satisfaction.

Trying to harm her own sister, only to be killed by her sister in retaliation?

That must feel pretty good to Aili, right?

Of course, the sister wasn’t much better off.

Was Asina revived by Qin Chu? How could that be possible, how could a dead person be revived? They had already paid such a huge price to revive Jie Luo, and now they had only seen a glimmer of hope, how did Qin Chu manage to do it?

Despite her extreme exhaustion, Aili’s brain started working furiously at this moment. If Qin Chu could revive Asina, who was already dead, then he must be able to save her too, right?

Qin Chu was notoriously lustful, he travelled with three women, not counting Asina, although she was flat-chested, her looks were definitely not bad.

It’s said that many humans have a peculiar interest in petite, flat-chested girls. She wondered if Qin Chu was that kind of man.

As she swallowed slightly, hope glimmered in Aili’s eyes, "Save, save me!"

"As long as you save me, I am also willing to acknowledge you as my master, and do whatever you ask, I promise I will never betray you in this lifetime."

"I can even serve you like those other women, I will definitely satisfy you."

The fear of death made Aili say anything.

All she wanted was to survive; as long as she lived, she would have a chance to expose her sister’s true nature, get rid of this supposed master and then revive Jie Luo... The premise for all of these was to keep living.

She was not willing to meet such a miserable end.

Qin Chu’s face was cold. He glanced at Aili casually, "Of course I can save you. I can not only keep you alive, but I can even restore your severed fingers."

Aili’s face lit up with ecstasy.

"But... what’s in it for me if I save you?"

"Asina is very strong and can do a lot for me, but you, as you are now, are no better than an ordinary person; I really don’t see any value in saving you."

Just as she was thinking about how to regain her strength after being revived and then get rid of Qin Chu, Aili’s face stiffened slightly. Did this man have no interest in her body at all?

"You don’t think you’re pretty, do you? Honestly, I prefer someone more voluptuous," Qin Chu said bluntly.

Asina’s cheeks reddened slightly at his side.

Ireta was pouting, obviously annoyed.

In an instant, a flash of anger crossed Aili’s face. She had killed everyone who mocked her figure. But Qin Chu was different; he was her only chance to survive, and she wanted to grasp that chance no matter what.

"I... right, I know Aileen’s weakness, I know Rose Vesper’s plans. If you save me, I am willing to tell you everything I know."

"Sorry, I already know Rose Vesper’s plans, and that is of no use to me."

"As for Aileen’s weakness... "

"In the face of overwhelming strength, whether I know her weakness or not doesn’t matter. Her Level is only 89."

Qin Chu sighed, his gaze on Aili somewhat pitiful as he watched her refuse to accept her doomed fate, then dropped a bombshell: "I came here just to tell you one thing."

"A Fragment of Jie Luo’s soul has already been crushed."

"So, your brother Jie Luo can no longer be resurrected."

Whir... crack...

Aili’s body instantly stiffened, her grey eyes widening.

A Fragment of the soul was crushed, Jie Luo could no longer be resurrected?

Aili’s body slumped to the ground as if she had lost all her strength. All their long, hard efforts and great sacrifices, what were they for?

Like clowns, performing pathetically in front of Qin Chu. This man must be laughing at their actions behind their backs, an utterly despairing sadness indeed.

This was Qin Chu’s purpose in appearing, just to push Aili completely into the abyss of despair.

That was all.
