Chapter 479: Chapter 325 Saint Monica, you don’t want to either... (Request for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets)

Saint Monica felt weird about the inexplicable reactions in her body. She was proud of her spiritual cultivation, which was quite impressive. Having lived in the open-minded Oville Empire for so many years and encountering numerous outstanding men, she had always maintained her chastity.

She had never engaged in inappropriate behaviors with any man.

Of course, not with women either.

Nominally, she had a husband, but it was just to fool the public and avoid harassment.

That man was nothing more than a puppet controlled by Saint Monica. He hadn’t even touched Saint Monica’s hand, let alone shared a bed with her.

The Pope of the Holy Court and the Church Venerable of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect were permitted to marry. Additionally, given Saint Monica’s graceful figure and beautiful appearance, it was natural for her to have no shortage of suitors.

In fact, even without her beautiful looks and attractive body, merely the position of the Church Venerable of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect and her status as one of the three strongest humans on the Sky Dome Continent meant that Saint Monica’s suitors were destined to be countless.

Many young and handsome gentlemen in the Empire wanted to be Saint Monica’s admirer, as being favored by Saint Monica could save them decades of struggle.

For those men who no longer wished to strive, the allure of Saint Monica was hundreds of times greater than that of girls their own age.

Thus, over the years, Saint Monica had continuously received confessions from various handsome men until her marriage somewhat improved the situation.

Among these men, there were young and handsome ones, mature gentlemen, strong and robust ones, and even those resembling younger boys. It is safe to say that Saint Monica could pick anyone if she wished. Not just one, but even seven or eight, thirty or fifty was not an issue.

Having only one husband and several lovers in private was not strange at all among the upper echelons of the Empire.

However, Saint Monica had never been moved by any man. Her heart always remained calm like an ancient well because she wanted to offer her purest body to the most supreme being.

For this reason, Saint Monica was quite surprised by the reactions in her body. A strange flame in her lower abdomen gradually spread throughout her alluring body, making Saint Monica feel an inexplicable heat all over.

Her full legs involuntarily intertwined.

With her silvery teeth lightly biting her lips, she tried hard not to let the panting escape her lips. She didn’t understand why she would have such a strong reaction to Qin Chu, the target she intended to kill.

How could she know that just during their last embrace, Qin Chu had already activated Desire Touch.

In dealing with the enemy who wanted to kill him, Qin Chu wouldn’t care about whether his methods were dishonorable. As long as something was effective, he would use it first.

Power was a Talent Ability that humans on the Sky Dome Continent could master.

And Authority was a capability only a God could possess.

After Qin Chu mastered the Desire Sin Divine Authority, the Super Order Power Desire immediately disappeared, having merged into the Desire Sin Divine Authority.

The Talent Ability brought about by Power, Touch of Desire, also directly evolved into Desire Touch. Although it seemed not much had changed in the description, the effect of Desire Touch was much stronger, as evident from Saint Monica’s reaction.

Even a Church Venerable like her could not avoid being affected.

But, Saint Monica was still Saint Monica.

Although caught off guard and disturbed, her strong inner core maintained control over her impulses, preventing her from losing complete control.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she quickly adjusted her state of mind. Although her body remained restless and ablaze, she appeared normal on the surface.

Saint Monica waved her hand, asking the nuns in the Holy Hall to leave temporarily.

In the vast Holy Hall, only Saint Monica and Qin Chu, the Hero, remained... If this got out, the tales and scandals that could be fabricated about a late-night secret meeting between the Church Venerable and the Hero in the Holy Hall would be countless.

"Mr. Brave, please take a seat."

Saint Monica seemed to have completely recovered. After seeing Qin Chu sit down, she also sat beside him, her gaze sweeping over him, feeling somewhat suspicious. She always felt something off about the Hero, a partly hidden and oddly familiar sense.

But the origin of this familiarity was unclear to Saint Monica at the moment.

With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "Mr. Brave, what brings you here so late at night?"

Qin Chu smiled slightly, leaning back.

His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, "Your Majesty Saint Monica, I wonder if you’ve noticed a certain issue."

Qin Chu didn’t beat around the bush, nodding slightly, "Haven’t you noticed that many nuns, priests, and holy knights from the Earth Mother Goddess Sect have disappeared?"

A trace of surprise clearly appeared on Saint Monica’s face, a rather good actor, "Eh? Is that so? I’m sorry, I’ve been praying in the Holy Hall all evening and am not aware of the external situation."

After a pause, Saint Monica humbly said, "From what Mr. Brave implies, it seems you know something. Could you enlighten me?"

"Of course." Qin Chu kept tapping his fingers on the armrest, producing a thumping sound.

The sound was not loud, yet it made Saint Monica particularly irritated. She was thinking about how Qin Chu was going to make his move and how she should respond, but the annoying sound, repetitively entering her ears, disrupted Saint Monica’s train of thought.

"Hundreds of holy men from the Earth Mother Goddess Sect along with a large number of mercenaries, adventurers from the Civilian District, and many Nobles along with their private soldiers have attacked my palace."

"Lord Sect Master Saint Monica, would you like to take a look? The bodies are still near the palace," Qin Chu’s voice gradually became colder.

This was a threat.

Although Catherine and Silf had already burned the bodies to erase all traces, leaving no evidence to prove anything,

Qin Chu believed that Saint Monica certainly had no intention of confronting them face-to-face.

Qin Chu did not intend to engage directly with Saint Monica, as that would definitely be very bad, and with Antia there, Qin Chu was confident he could suppress Saint Monica... but this was the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, Saint Monica’s home ground.

If a fight really broke out, who knows how many helpers Saint Monica could call.

By then, it might be Qin Chu himself who would be out of luck.

The approach Qin Chu used was to utilize verbal provocations to disrupt Saint Monica’s consciousness and soul, including previously activating the Touch of Desire, all for the same purpose. When Saint Monica’s consciousness fluctuated violently, it would provide Phil with an opportunity to take advantage.

Saint Monica took her actor’s composure to the extreme, leaping up from her chair as if she had been badly frightened despite already knowing the situation, her body trembling with intense waves.

Her pale cheeks were full of shock, "Mr. Brave, what did you say?"

"How could the holy people of our Earth Mother Goddess Sect do such things? It’s not possible..."

Goodness, look at that expression, look at those trembling eyes, look at those lips slightly parted due to shock... If it were someone else, they might even think they had really wronged Saint Monica.

Qin Chu sneered inwardly, his expression stern, "Lord Sect Master, do you think I am lying?"

Saint Monica quickly waved her hands, "No, Mr. Brave, I’m not questioning you... it’s just..."

"The holy people of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect are the most devout believers, I truly find it hard to believe that they could do such things."

"I told you, their bodies are still at the palace entrance... do you want to see them yourself?" Qin Chu pressed relentlessly, "If that’s really not okay, why don’t we call over Wozworth, Augustus, Zimmerman, and those people, to be witnesses, what do you think?"

Saint Monica’s eyes dodged.

Damn it.

Qin Chu appeared too abruptly, and Saint Monica needed time to think of a suitable excuse. After all, she had witnessed what happened at the palace; it really wasn’t easy to fool others.

Even someone with Saint Monica’s intellect would find it difficult to find a perfect reason to clear herself in such a short time.

After a few seconds passed, Saint Monica took a deep breath, "Mr. Brave, I think I understand what happened. It’s very likely it was done by Florence..."

The former Church Venerable.

"Mr. Brave, you may not be well-acquainted with the situation of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, the former Church Venerable still has considerable influence in the Church," Saint Monica measured her words, caught between hiding the true secrets of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect from Qin Chu and having to explain things to avoid misunderstandings.

"Within the Church, there are many influential members who were personally promoted by Florence; they are fiercely loyal to her."

"And Mr. Brave, when you killed Florence’s son, Onions, who she deeply doted on, she definitely could not accept it. So it must have been Florence who ordered those loyal to her to attack you."

"Although this was done by Florence, I still have the fault of not governing strictly. Mr. Brave, rest assured, I will definitely deal with this matter seriously and give you a satisfactory response."

This woman, enough cunning, enough shameless.

Just like that, she pushed all the responsibility onto Florence’s head.

Since Florence was no longer in the Earth Mother Goddess Sect and was traveling in the Sky Dome Continent with Inas, she was essentially unreachable, almost like there was no evidence.

But how could Qin Chu let Saint Monica shrug this off so easily?

Upon hearing this, Qin Chu just sneered, "Saint Monica, now, you are the Church Venerable."

"Regardless of whom those people are loyal to, they are holy people of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, your subordinates."

"If this matter gets out, it would be a significant loss for the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, and even for your own reputation, wouldn’t it, Saint Monica?"

"Do you think Wozworth, Augustus, would miss such a good opportunity to attack and weaken the Earth Mother Goddess Sect? When that time comes, who knows how many believers might change their faith, the Earth Mother Goddess Sect could potentially fall apart."

"Saint Monica, you wouldn’t want to see that happen, would you?"

Threat.

A blatant threat.

This Hero, more shameless than imagined.

Saint Monica was well aware that the reason she had been favored by the Lord of Pleasure was because the Lord of Pleasure wanted her to control the Earth Mother Goddess Sect. If the Earth Mother Goddess Sect fell while under her control, she would surely lose the Lord of Pleasure’s blessings.

That beautiful face gradually turned cold, "Mr. Brave, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Quite simple, I just want some compensation..." Qin Chu spread his hands and smiled, "Your people attacked me, asking for some compensation is not unreasonable at all, I think it’s a perfectly rational demand."

Saint Monica took a deep breath, "What compensation?"

As Qin Chu also slowly stood up and moved closer to Saint Monica, in the trembling gaze of Saint Monica, his finger landed on the voluptuous waist of the Lord Sect Master, tracing down along the beautiful curve of the waist:

"You!"
