Chapter 46: Chapter 40 The Effects of the Magic Potion (4000-word mega Chapter, seeking votes)

The vast training ground was empty; only Qin Chu was there, and he knew no one would disturb him the entire afternoon. Nevertheless, Qin Chu left behind an illusion of himself sitting cross-legged, toiling in practice.

Having done this, Qin Chu snapped his fingers, and his figure gradually vanished.

Invisibility Technique.

No longer needing the low-level Illusion Demon’s Transformation, simply turning invisible was enough. This was one of the many spells Candice had taught Qin Chu.

He had intentionally revealed Angelica’s whereabouts and the fact that she was alone to Rose Vesper, just waiting for Rose’s move.

This was the last test for Angelica.

If Angelica could pass this test successfully, she would be able to break free from her shackles and gain Qin Chu’s true trust.

If she failed, then...

Although he had the experience of the first week, Qin Chu did not let his guard down; in every action he took, Qin Chu considered the other person’s personality along with his own experience to predict their next move.

Rose Vesper was a very clever woman. Despite her desire to kill Angelica, Rose would certainly hold back. She would manipulate Angelica and use her as a tool to indirectly control the Hero.

He knew that Rose Vesper hated him and hated Angelica to death.

But for Rose Vesper, the most important thing was still to revive Jie Luo, so much so that she could suppress her personal feelings for this goal.

The Hero Team’s plan was actually very simple.

Summing up the experience of the first week, it was nothing more than making good relations, making oneself fall in love with one of the girls, treating the rest of the members as the closest companions, and then stabbing oneself in the back after fully defeating the Demon army.

The reason they didn’t immediately kill him was purely because his talent was superior to Jie Luo’s; they still needed a tool to bear the responsibility of fighting the demons, otherwise, even if they killed him and revived Jie Luo, Jie Luo would still have to face Nag and inevitably end up dead again.

But now, his relationship with Angelica was even closer.

Although simply killing Angelica would solve everything, Qin Chu had informed Rose Vesper of Angelica’s movements and combined with the tensions between them, if Angelica died, Rose Vesper would be his first suspect.

Even if Rose Vesper had a hundred ways to clear her name, the seed of suspicion had been planted, and it would be incredibly hard to be on good terms again, possibly erasing the chance to stab him in the back.

Therefore, Qin Chu deduced that Rose would certainly use Spirit Magic to turn Angelica into a puppet she could control, thereby indirectly controlling him.

Very few people knew that Rose Vesper was proficient in Spirit Magic.

Qin Chu was one of them.

...

In Roblensa Market, Angelica, carrying a basket on her arm, was blissfully shopping.

In her heart, her master was the most important presence in her life going forward, even more important than her own life.

Angelica wanted to use all her strength to serve her master, striving to fully satisfy him in every aspect, especially now that her master wanted to taste her cooking; naturally, she wanted to do her best.

The meats and vegetables in Roblensa Market, although expensive, were of the highest quality and the freshest—the tomatoes were crystal clear, resembling rubies, and the sliced steaks were vibrant red interspersed with white marbling; freshly picked vegetables were vividly lush...

"That should be about right," she murmured to herself and began the cheerful trek back home.

Having been by her master’s side for over three days now, these days felt like heaven to Angelica. She wasn’t being beaten by Rose Vesper, her body wasn’t tormented, and her soul wasn’t humiliated. Angelica felt her body and spirit were healing.

She even began to forget about the mission Augustus Pope had entrusted to her.

Holy Daughter!

This was the first time in over three days that Angelica thought of these words.

It was a promise from His Holiness the Pope.

After all, it had been her goal for over a decade, and suddenly remembering it felt somewhat hard to let go.

Angelica’s smile became somewhat restrained, and her originally light footsteps seemed to carry a heavier weight. She didn’t notice that just behind her, a dark figure was silently approaching.

Just as she turned a corner, a sudden bang hit her from the back, her vision went dark, and she passed out.

When Angelica opened her eyes again, she found herself outside the city.

Surrounded by shady green trees, the dim sunset made her eyes sting slightly.

The very next second, Angelica struggled vehemently, but the collar constrained her magic power, and she was too weak to escape the ropes binding her wrists.

"Stop struggling, save your energy," came a frivolous voice from ahead.

Angelica’s throat moved slightly as she looked up, only to see in front of her two women dressed in a style somewhat similar to that of the Holy Court nuns but in a starkly contrasting color.

Their pure black nun’s attire hugged their well-proportioned, athletic figures, which were both slender and voluptuous, exuding strength.

They were also beautiful, with oval faces, narrow eyes, and slightly upturned corners that hinted at a fierce demeanor. On their smooth, fair foreheads was a mark resembling a large eyeball, weird and cryptic, its significance unknown.
