Chapter 491: Chapter 337: Hopeless, Just Wait for Death! (4)

"Why aren’t you drinking it? Why won’t you drink?"

"Hurry up and drink!"

Wozworth seemed to have forgotten his own promises of brotherhood. All he wanted was for Qin Chu to drink the bottle of blood as quickly as possible.

Perhaps, it was precisely because they were brothers that Wozworth was so anxious. This was good stuff, and if it hadn’t been for Qin Chu, he would never have been willing to share it.

Qin Chu had yet to drink a single drop of the blood, which made Wozworth increasingly irritable. Did Qin Chu not trust him? Did he suspect Wozworth wanted to harm him?

How infuriating.

To think he treated him with such genuine sincerity, and yet Qin Chu doubted him?

Could it be that even this closest and most trusted brother was going to abandon him?

When did he and Qin Chu become so close? He couldn’t remember, but it didn’t matter.

Wozworth grew more and more restless. His huge eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets, and the strange bulges on his body emerged more and more, squirming at an ever-increasing pace.

Seeing Wozworth’s appearance, Qin Chu figured that unless he drank the blood, he was unlikely to get past this situation. With Wozworth now full of weirdness, Qin Chu didn’t want to fight this madman without being fully prepared and absolutely sure of victory.

With a whoosh, Wozworth felt a void in his hand—the bottle had already fallen into Qin Chu’s hand. In the next second, Qin Chu flipped his hand, and the bottle, along with the blood inside, disappeared into Qin Chu’s mouth, though it was unclear how he actually swallowed it.

But Wozworth’s consciousness was already somewhat confused, and he didn’t even find this scene strange.

As long as the blood entered Qin Chu’s body, that was all that mattered.

In reality, it had been passed to Shaye.

Qin Chu smacked his lips: "Not a bad taste, thanks, bro. Can I ask where you got this stuff from, old brother?"

Wozworth cracked a smile, his teeth lined with sticky blood. In just a short time, the Emperor had become even more terrifying, his voice filled with a chilling weirdness: "Heh heh heh..."

"Don’t worry, my good brother."

"Once you become like me, I’ll tell you."

As he spoke, he walked up as if he wanted to pat Qin Chu’s shoulder again, and Qin Chu’s body instinctively leaned back:

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back first."

Wozworth’s face was filled with an excited and weird smile as he watched Qin Chu stand up, turn, and leave, making no move to stop him.

It seemed as if he believed Qin Chu would soon become an existence just like his own.

Below his clothes, the flesh-like substances were still squirming non-stop, as if they could breach his coarse skin at any moment.

...

It wasn’t until he was far from Wozworth’s study that Qin Chu finally stopped.

Wozworth’s abnormality was something Qin Chu had not anticipated at all.

"Shaye, I leave that drop of blood to you," Qin Chu instructed in his mind.

"Understood."

After a brief response, Shaye quickly fell silent.

There in front stood Carol, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time and was evidently restless with anxiety. Upon seeing Qin Chu emerge from her father’s study, her eyes instantly brightened. But when she saw Qin Chu’s gloomy eyes and pale face, her spirits sank deeply once again.

It seemed that the situation might be somewhat dire.

Could it be that even Mr. Brave couldn’t persuade the Emperor to turn back?

"Mr. Brave, how did it go?" Carol asked cautiously.

"Let’s talk outside the Imperial Palace," Qin Chu said in a low voice.

Fear grew in Carol’s heart, and only after they reached a secluded place outside the Imperial City did Qin Chu stop. He looked at the Princess, whose face had turned deathly pale from fear, and spoke with reluctance, "Princess Carol, you’d better brace yourself."

"Your father’s situation is probably worse than you imagine. He has been contaminated by the Evil God."

"What?"

The words caused Carol to let out a piercing scream uncontrollably.

She swayed, her vision darkening, almost collapsing.

It took several seconds before Carol seemed to recover slightly, her head shaking violently, "Mr. Brave, this can’t be true. You must be joking, right? How could my father be contaminated by the Evil God, this..."

Carol knew all too well the fate of being contaminated by the Evil God; after all, her eldest brother had been executed by their father after succumbing to contamination.

She would never forget her brother’s last moments, that ugly and terrifying appearance.

"Sigh, I’m sorry, I didn’t want to come to this conclusion either."

"You’d better not continue living in the Imperial Palace. Your father has likely been contaminated for over a month. His will, strength, soul are all very strong, which is why he’s been able to last this long without completely losing control, but it seems that he won’t be too far from total Destruction."

"In this state, he will turn on everyone around him, especially those closest to him, and you could be in danger for your life."

Carol’s face grew paler and more distressed, unable to bear the thought of her father reaching such an end.

"Mr. Brave, I beg you to save him, there must be a way, right?"

Qin Chu shook his head with a sense of helplessness, "I’m sorry, if it had been right after the contamination, maybe there would have been a way, but now... it’s too late."
