Chapter 504: Chapter 347 If It’s You, I’m Willing! (4)

Is it okay?

Antia’s soft, moist voice echoed in his ears.

She used a questioning tone, a habit of Antia’s.

Though Qin Chu treated her well, Antia was always clear about her place; she was just a ghost residing in Qin Chu, existing by relying on him.

Most of the time, she would seek Qin Chu’s opinion.

It was Qin Chu who had given her a place to stay, and it was also due to Qin Chu that she could recover to this extent; therefore, as a guest, it was natural for her to offer something in return.

Everything that had just happened between Qin Chu and Shaye, Antia had seen it all, and truthfully, it had frightened her a bit.

But, she could see that Qin Chu’s condition was very wrong now.

If she could lower the temperature of Qin Chu’s body a bit, then...

Antia was willing!

That soft, gentle voice made Qin Chu’s heart tremble slightly, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.

Towards this girl who had almost the same experiences as him, Qin Chu held a fondness, but he had almost never laid hands on Antia.

It wasn’t just because Antia was a ghost; it was more because Qin Chu was worried his clumsy actions could evoke some unpleasant memories for Antia.

After all, Antia was the strongest Valkyrie from a thousand years ago.

The National Guardian Valkyrie.

With her powerful strength and personal charm, Antia led a group of far-from-elite soldiers, drove out the invaders who had penetrated into the Oville Empire and even reached the Imperial City, and restored the state.

That war greatly wounded over a dozen countries.

Since then, although those nations still existed, they no longer possessed the capability to pose a threat to the Empire.

It was the Emperor of the Oville Empire from a thousand years ago, who feeling threatened by Antia’s strength and attracted by her beauty, wanted to take Antia into his harem as a princess.

After Antia refused, ensued a sequence of events—banquets, poisoning, capture, arson, and sealing.

Antia’s life, vigorous and filled with tragedy, ended eventually in the flames.

Qin Chu took a deep breath, "Antia, do you understand what you are saying?"

"I do."

"Are you not scared?"

"If it’s you... I’m not scared."

After a brief pause, a sly smile suddenly appeared on Antia’s face, "Or do you want me to go to another man?"

It always felt like, after gaining a human body, Antia’s emotions seemed richer than before.

Buzz!

The soft voice, however, turned Qin Chu’s brain into a blank in an instant.

Handing Antia over to another man?

What a joke!

I’d kill him.

The impulse in his chest, at this moment, completely lost control. Abruptly turning around, he wrapped his arms around Antia’s slender waist, his hand gently hooking her light body, bringing Antia in front of him, kissing her tender cheek.

...

After the relay between Shaye Nicholas and Antia, the flames on Qin Chu finally subsided.

Shaye was nesting inside Qin Chu’s body, likely not to appear for a short while, she was truly exhausted.

Antia also fell asleep.

Her body had just solidified, not yet stable, bearing the current Qin Chu was truly a huge burden for Antia.

Moreover, for Antia, this might be the first time she had slept in a thousand years.

After covering Antia with the blanket, Qin Chu then turned and left the room.

Downstairs, Catherine and Silf were waiting, they had some information to inform Qin Chu, but they had to wait until Qin Chu was free.

Upon seeing Qin Chu coming down the stairs, both of their eyes suddenly brightened for a moment.

Faintly, they could feel that Qin Chu seemed a bit different, an indescribable feeling.

Asina also came down from upstairs, finally awake.

"What’s happening over at Rose Vesper?" Qin Chu asked Silf as he sat down.

When it came to business, no one dared to delay.

Silf cleared her throat and quickly responded, "Rose Vesper... seems to have changed."

"Now, Rose Vesper seems to completely see herself as the real Female Pope, ordering me and Catherine around, commanding us as if we were her servants," she explained with a tone full of authority, as if they were her subordinates.

Qin Chu laughed; for the proud Silf, this was indeed a hard pill to swallow.

"Rose Vesper, in order to deceive Augustus, deliberately spread rumors near Augustus that members of the Hero Team wanted to attack you, resurrecting the First Generation Brave," Silf said with a helpless shrug.

"Augustus is a pretty clever guy, but it seems he really fell for it."

Catherine also nodded, "I always feel like there’s something off with Augustus now; sometimes, he involuntarily emits a chilling aura."

"Moreover, although Rose Vesper said it was to deceive Augustus, I feel, she might make it real and really do something on that day... at least to someone close to you."

As she spoke, Catherine turned to glance at Angelica, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Without a doubt, what Catherine worried about was the possibility that Rose Vesper might harm Angelica.

If one were to ask who Rose Vesper hated the most, it would undoubtedly be Angelica.

After all, seeing a maid who could be hit or scolded and humiliated at whim suddenly turning the tables and replacing herself as the girl who could stay by the Hero’s side, Rose Vesper’s small-mindedness would find it hard to accept.

Previously, due to insufficient strength and influence, Rose Vesper had to endure it.

But now, with her greatly increased status within the Holy Court, it was hard to guarantee that Rose Vesper wouldn’t do something crazy.

Qin Chu’s expression turned cold.

Just then, Asina suddenly appeared slightly pale, her hand gently touching her ear, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

After a while, Asina finally opened her eyes and looked towards Qin Chu, "It seems that another fragment has been located near Rose Vesper."

"Rose Vesper hopes I can come over to discuss this matter," she said.

In comparison to the members of the Holy Court who had just been subdued, Rose Vesper seemed to still trust the members of the former Hero Team a bit more, even though in Rose Vesper’s eyes, these people were all her servants at this moment.

Catherine showed no reaction to this news.

Silf’s eyes flickered slightly before she regained her calm.

Qin Chu’s fingers gently tapped on the armrest, "Go ahead."

"Be careful."

Asina nodded, stood up, and left.

Qin Chu stood up, glanced at Silf and Catherine, and the others who had just walked in from outside, like Helois, "You guys stay in the palace during this time, it’s best not to wander around."

"In the coming time, this Imperial City will probably turn into a complete mess," he added.

...

Walking through the Imperial City, Qin Chu headed towards the Civilian District.

Candice’s bar was closed today. But that did not stop Qin Chu; he easily entered through the back door.

When Candice, who was anxiously pacing back and forth in the hall, heard some noise and turned around, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, ’Lord Horus, you finally showed up.’

Qin Chu was somewhat helpless.

Horus was his alias.

Even though Candice knew his real identity, she still habitually called him Horus, a name that held a completely different significance for Candice.

"I used message magic this morning, but couldn’t reach you," she said.

"After trying a couple of times, I gave up, worried you might be doing something important," she explained.

"Is there any news from the demons?" Qin Chu quickly asked, offering no explanation. How could he explain he had been messing around with Shaye Nicholas and Antia, unable to care about her?

Candice would have flipped if she knew.

Candice’s expression also turned grim, "There are three important pieces of news. First, Luo Meng sent a message that the Demon Prince is recently planning to gather his followers and launch a large-scale attack on human territories."

"This Demon Prince, because he once offended the Dark Witch Shaye and was sealed by Shaye, hung on a tower for three days and nights, has since significantly weakened and never recovered."

"But now, since the Second Prince of Demons is missing, presumed dead, and it appears that Diaberlic, the Prince, is also dead, the Demon Prince feels his time has come... so he urgently needs a war to prove his capabilities."

Qin Chu laughed, "Let them fight."

The noisier, the better.

The fiercer the war, the more essential he, as a Hero, would become, and the higher his value would rise.

"What’s the second piece of news?"

"Luo Meng’s sister, the Demon Princess Atreus seems to have set her sights on Lord Horus," Candice said with a weird expression and a hint of displeasure. Lord Horus was hers; how could that shameless woman Atreus steal him away?

"Atreus?" Qin Chu made a strange face, thinking for a moment without any recollection.

It’s possible he had directly chopped her into ashes during the war, hence he couldn’t remember.

"A freak among demons, although she has the blood of demons flowing in her, she has no interest in demons; instead, she likes human men very much and often abducts young, handsome men to her palace for her pleasure," she explained.

"A strong man, from the moment he enters the palace, can last no more than seven days before being sent out simply drained."

Yeesh...

Dang it.

Qin Chu felt a headache coming on, being targeted by such a person was definitely not something to feel happy about.

"And the third piece of news?"

"The Dark Witch, Shaye Nicholas, has emerged!"

Huh? That quickly?

That’s unexpected.

Indeed a major piece of news, Qin Chu’s gaze slightly sharpened, indeed there was another Shaye Nicholas.

However, this Shaye Nicholas, might not be as gentle and adorable as the one he had.

Well, whatever, if she has emerged, she has emerged.

It’s not like they would meet so soon.
