Chapter 452: Chapter 304 Aili’s Ending (1)

Aili’s expression on her face had become indescribable, she couldn’t even bring herself to hate Qin Chu anymore.

Her entire consciousness, her whole heart, felt as if they had been gouged out in that instant.

Ha ha... Hahaha...

Suddenly, Aili started to laugh hysterically, her hollow laugh devoid of any warmth only made one’s flesh creep.

Jie Luo’s brother’s Soul Fragment had already been crushed, and it was no longer possible for Jie Luo’s brother to be revived... So, from the very beginning, hope never existed—what exactly were she and her sister, engaging in fratricide, doing this for?

Was it all just for a dream that never existed, an impossibility?

And her sister continued to struggle in front of this man like a clown, with even more fervent hope than before... The more her sister was filled with hope, the more she struggled and tried to fight, the more pleasure this man derived.

Suddenly, Aili felt that her sister might be even more miserable than herself.

After all, she was about to die and end this sorrowful life, while her sister had to continue to please this man like a doll.

Her eyes were vacant. Upon learning the truth, the last bit of impulse to struggle in Aili’s soul vanished completely, and now, Aili was nothing more than a piece of flesh that could still breathe.

"Kill me," she said.

"Kill you?" Qin Chu raised his eyebrows.

He exhaled and stretched lazily, "I am a good person, you know."

"I would not kill someone without cause, as it would damage my image."

If it had been like with Karsas and Benson, Qin Chu might have been somewhat interested, but a girl lying on the ground incapable of movement was truly dull.

"However, Aili, you should know that this place is close to a Demon-active area... so, from time to time, some Demons appear," said Qin Chu with an odd expression.

Aili’s already vacant pupils suddenly flickered with light—it was fear.

What Qin Chu said was correct; this area was often frequented by Demons. Previously, relying on her great strength, she didn’t take the chance of Demon activity seriously as it was just Low-level trash.

But for her now, stripped of all her Strength, even a Low-level goblin was definitely not something she could deal with.

Falling into the hands of these Demons would probably result in a fate worse than death.

Qin Chu’s gaze shifted to the forest behind him, his face bearing a malicious smile, "It seems that some Demons have noticed the commotion here."

Retracting his gaze, he turned his attention back to the now frightened Aili, "So, Miss Beautiful Aili, please take a good rest, I wish you a speedy recovery, goodbye."

After dropping a blessing, Qin Chu left with Helois, Antasia, and the others.

"Wait, save me, don’t leave me here, please, no, save me..." Aili desperately writhed on the ground, screaming loudly as she watched the backs of Qin Chu and the others leaving.

She didn’t want to be left alone here.

She didn’t want to fall into the hands of those Demons.

Unfortunately, those people didn’t care about Aili’s screams at all.

As Qin Chu and the others grew more distant, Aili’s fear intensified. Suddenly, she heard rustling noises coming from the woodland.

Her body shuddered involuntarily, and her head whipped towards the direction of the woods.

In the midday sunlight, some small green-skinned creatures with crude wooden clubs emerged from the forest.

It was goblins!

This was a very weak type of Demon.

The former Aili wouldn’t have even blinked at such weak creatures, but now, these small figures made her blood run cold.

She would have preferred to encounter Ogres or Ghouls that see humans as food.

So this was the death Qin Chu... no, her sister had arranged for her?

No... no... no...

The Dagger she had dropped on the ground earlier caught Aili’s eye, familiar with the glare of its metal.

She struggled desperately on the ground, moving like a pathetic maggot on parched earth, until she finally managed to bring herself next to the Dagger.

A foolish grin spread across her disheveled face.

Ha ha, now everything was okay, all problems were solved now.

All she had to do was grab the Dagger and slit her own throat, it was that simple.

...

Qin Chu did nothing.

Really, he only told Aili the whole truth because he felt she was too pitiful.

He was so kind and merciful, even if Aili was his enemy and bore deep hatred towards him, Qin Chu couldn’t bear to kill her, leaving her with a way to live instead.

Qin Chu was almost moved by his own benevolence and magnanimity.

He had already given Aili a way to live, what more could he do? What Aili would become after this had nothing to do with him, not half a Mana’s worth of relation.

```

However, Aili wouldn’t live much longer in that condition, even without being tormented, she would be dead within an hour and a half.

The one who caused Aili to fall into such a state wasn’t Qin Chu, but her own elder sister, Aileen.

Speaking of which, that girl really had a ruthless heart.

To sever the fingers of both her younger sister’s hands, did she anticipate Aili would end up like this? If that were the case, then it would be far too horrifying.

Asina, Helois, and Antasia accompanied Qin Chu.

Ireta stayed nearby, waiting to confirm Aili’s death and collect her soul, and Qin Chu even felt that Ireta might end it early for Aili out of pity.

"Asina, once we return, you should do this..." Qin Chu whispered into Asina’s ear.

The warmth of his breath caused Asina’s cheeks to redden.

Ever since Qin Chu saved her from the dark clutch of death, Asina felt his image became more and more defined in her mind, and the slightest contact would stir something within her.

She committed Qin Chu’s instructions to memory.

She knew that even though Qin Chu did not immediately act against Aileen, he surely wouldn’t let that woman off easily.

...

Meanwhile, Aileen was still running wildly on her way.

After absorbing her sister’s Strength, her power had become unprecedentedly strong.

She felt light as a feather, like a bird; with a slight tap of her tiptoes on the ground, she could soar through the air.

Her speed was much faster than before, with nothing but the howling wind in her ears, the sharp gusts slashing at her face felt exhilarating.

Ah, my sister, I will make good use of the Strength you sacrificed.

Empowered by this incredible force, Aileen reached the Imperial City of the Empire in less than half the time it had taken previously.

Upon arrival, Aileen adjusted her breath, controlling her power to mimic her previous levels. The unprecedented power was Aileen’s secret and trump card, which would have an unexpected effect at a critical time.

Suddenly, Aileen frowned slightly and touched her forehead with her increasingly tender hand, feeling some warmth.

There was also a slight itch in her throat...

Aileen couldn’t help but cough lightly.

Was she falling ill?

For a moment, Aileen felt somewhat strange; after all, for a practitioner of her caliber, falling ill was almost unimaginable. How many years had it been since she last tasted the sensation of illness?

However, Aileen didn’t take her bodily reactions seriously.

Fever and cough, a minor illness, wouldn’t take long to heal.

The most important thing now was to inform Rose Vesper of what happened in Snow Mountain... Although she loathed that pretentious woman, Aileen understood that she couldn’t kill her yet.

She was important.

The identity of the Holy Daughter of the Holy Court gave Rose Vesper access to resources that ordinary people could not, able to obtain a lot of important information.

For instance, where Jie Luo’s Soul Fragments had scattered – only Rose Vesper would know such things, and it could take who knows how long to find out on her own.

There was no need to keep Catherine any longer, though, as Second Generation Brave Warrior Catherine played the role of a mole and could be very important in future assassination plans against Qin Chu...

But now, with her power being more than sufficient to take on Qin Chu single-handedly, Aileen no longer needed Catherine the mole.

Silf the wretched Elf must be dealt with; her pride makes her revolting just to look at.

For the time being, only Rose Vesper needed to be kept alive. When her value was fully extracted, it would be her time to die.

It must be said, Aili and Aileen truly were sisters.

Both had an intense monopoly, and their thoughts were astonishingly similar.

Neither wanted any other girls around their brother Jie Luo, not even if that girl was their own elder or younger sister.

Only they themselves were enough for brother Jie Luo.

Aileen took a deep breath and adjusted the expression on her face, gradually turning it into one of sadness and pain, her eyes brimming with tears before she walked toward the Holy Court.

As a member of the Hero Team, Aileen easily entered the inner sanctum of the Church Court, heading straight for the Holy Daughter’s chamber. Just as she pushed open the door and saw Rose Vesper immersed in some documents, Aileen fought the urge to snap her neck right there and instead flung herself onto Rose Vesper’s chest, bursting into loud sobs.

Her petite body seemed to convulse with extreme grief.

What it means to cry a river – in just a few seconds, Rose Vesper’s chest was drenched, clinging uncomfortably to her skin.

Just as Rose Vesper was about to speak, the sight of Aileen in this state caused her heart to skip a beat, and a bad premonition quickly took root.

Damn it.

Why did the members of the former Hero Team always encounter problems with operations that were almost guaranteed to be flawless?

Where did the deviations occur?

It was as if an invisible hand was constantly meddling with her plans.

Who could it be?
