Chapter 508: Chapter 351 Call Me Sister (Sorry, only 3 Chapters today, will resume tomorrow)

Because of her doubts, whatever Shaye Nicholas said could lead Qin Chu into baseless speculation.

Watching Shaye’s departing figure, suspicions crowded the depths of Qin Chu’s heart.

Why did this woman leave saying, "I’m very happy"? What did that mean? Surely it wasn’t just because she enjoyed some delicious food, right?

It always felt like Shaye Nicholas had more to her words.

As for the Shaye Nicholas within him, upon encountering the other one, she turned into a complete coward.

She stayed nestled within him and showed no intention of confronting her alter ego.

"Damn it, you’re the fake, the counterfeit." Not until the other had left, far out of sight, did Shaye finally emerge.

On that similarly beautiful face, one could clearly see intense anger.

Her little fists were clenched tightly, her tiny feet forcefully stamping in mid-air.

Qin Chu rolled his eyes irritably, "You talk tough, so why didn’t you confront her earlier? Now that she’s gone far away, you spring out?

"Huh? Are you kidding?" Shaye immediately shook her little head, "Do I wish for a longer life?"

You’re indeed straightforward.

But without a doubt, this time, being utterly suppressed by the other Shaye really irked her.

This was humiliation.

Even though she was indeed the real Dark Witch, Shaye Nicholas, she could not tolerate the other seizing her identity.

"Qin Chu, I need strength; give me some of your strength..." Shaye murmured persistently.

"How do I share it? Haven’t you stolen enough of my experience?" Qin Chu retorted annoyingly, rolling his eyes.

If it weren’t for Shaye being a drag, Qin Chu was certain his level would be significantly higher by now.

"Moreover, strength isn’t something that can be obtained so easily."

"Blood, I need the Evil God’s blood." Shaye quickly thought of a method to gain strength swiftly, "Just get enough of the Evil God’s fresh blood, and that will certainly suffice."

A frown creased Qin Chu’s forehead yet again.

The blood of an Evil God, while beneficial to him, would not be extraordinarily so; most of the benefits were usually snatched by the parasites within him, leaving Qin Chu with just scraps.

In comparison, Qin Chu was more concerned about the side effects of the Evil God’s blood.

"Have you forgotten what happened at noon today?"

Creak.

The color drained from Shaye’s face suddenly, and then her cheeks flushed red intensely.

Without a doubt, the events of the noon were an unforgettable experience for Shaye; to this moment, she couldn’t shake off that feeling.

Her crimson eyes were crystal clear, almost dripping with intensity.

It was only after a long time had passed that Shaye murmured softly, "At worst, I’ll help you then."

Qin Chu gave her a weird look. Help? How can you help? Your energy body has dispersed.

As soon as the words fell, Shaye herself seemed unable to bear it, "I absolutely cannot stand that counterfeit flaunting before me. There can only be one Shaye Nicholas in this world, and that’s me."

Qin Chu felt somewhat helpless. They are the same person; why all this unnecessary fuss?

"But the blood of the Evil God isn’t so easily found, right? I’m also not clear from where Wozworth acquired it, and considering Wozworth’s current state, he’s probably not in a condition to converse normally, nor is he likely to tell us how he obtained the Evil God’s blood," Qin Chu pondered aloud.

Shaye seemed to finally suppress the shame in her heart, her expression looking somewhat solemn, "The blood Wozworth gave you, and the blood Demon King Nage handed to me in the Demon King Palace, are of the same entity."

"But, their sources must definitely be different."

This was to be expected, as both Wozworth and Demon King Nage would naturally secure such an item tightly after discovering it, definitely not allowing anyone else to get close.

"Do you still remember the message we received from Phil? A thousand years ago during the divine battle, the Gods perished, and the Strongest Evil God was split into eight, scattered across this world."

Qin Chu understood Shaye’s point.

Demon King Nage and Wozworth might have found, through some channel, one of the parts of the Evil God split into eight a thousand years ago, perhaps the head, an arm, or some other part of the body. These samples of blood were collected from the remains of the Evil God.

Of course, it might not necessarily be the Eighth Evil God; other bizarre entities were also possible, even perhaps the remains of a local god from the Sky Dome Continent after their fall.

"Then, do you still remember the heart recorded on the soul fragment from the Second Generation Jie Luo?"

Qin Chu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The colossal heart encountered by the Second Generation Jie Luo, which had been extracted who knows how many years ago, still beating.

Although the Second Generation Jie Luo was hardly anything significant, that heart was part of a body reconstructed by the Evil God, boasting an unquestionably formidable strength. Yet, upon seeing that heart, he instinctively felt fear and turned to leave.

The immense power that surely coursed through this heart was undeniable.

Excitement sparkled in Shaye’s eyes.

If her guess was correct and that heart truly belonged to some deity, and if it shared the same source as the blood collected by Wozworth and Demon King Nage, then it was as good as having an endless supply of energy that could be freely absorbed.

In no time at all, she would return to her most formidable condition... No, perhaps even stronger than the most powerful Dark Witch of old.

Then, she could stand proudly before the other Shaye Nicholas and, with a smirk, say, "You are the fake, call me ’big sister’!"

"Hey, Qin Chu, don’t you want to go check it out?"

"It sure will be interesting."

At this moment, Shaye Nicholas truly seemed to embody a bit of the witch’s presence, her voice brimming with seduction.

...

Elsewhere.

Carlos had already returned to his residence.

Thinking of the humiliation he had just suffered, his eyes flickered with a ferocious light, and his handsome, sunny face seemed to distort into a twisted mass, exuding a bone-chilling aura.

That damn woman, how dare she call him a baboon? How could he be compared to a baboon?

No, how could a baboon be compared to him? He was truly blinded by anger.

And that bastard Qin Chu, it was the same with Nadia before, and now he dares to steal his love again? That bastard, it must be deliberate.

Looking at the situation, Qin Chu must have already bedded Nadia, right? Perhaps he’s now taking a bath with Shaye Nicholas in a hotel?

Various images floated through his mind, and Carlos grew angrier the more he thought.

Bastard, is he just some doggone Hero?

Does the Sky Dome Continent lack one Hero? Give me enough time, Carlos could easily wipe out any demon.

This world doesn’t need any Heroes at all.

He wished he could tear Qin Chu into pieces, wished he could torture those two women who were blind to Qin Chu’s flaws right in front of him.

With a snap, the sword handle he was holding in his hand even couldn’t withstand Carlos’s fury and was crushed into fragments.

"It seems I’ve come at a bad time, Lord Carlos seems very angry," a seductive voice suddenly came from behind him at that moment.

Carlos’s complexion changed drastically, and he whirled around, only to see a stunning lady appear behind him, dressed in a pure white Saintess costume.

That familiar, beautiful face, if not Rose Vesper then who could it be?

It’s obviously Rose Vesper, but why does she exude no sense of holiness even in a Saintess costume, and instead radiates astounding allure?

Like a vortex, she seemed intent on swallowing Carlos, even giving him an impulse to kneel before this woman, kissing her shoes.

It felt as if, to Carlos, he wasn’t seeing a Saintess but an Enchanting Demon.

But Carlos was no ordinary man; he quickly composed himself, his wariness increasing by the minute.

His strength was almost equal to Rose Vesper’s, so why was she able to approach him silently now, and he hadn’t noticed her at all?

Was it because he was swallowed up in rage, or had Rose Vesper’s strength significantly improved?

"So it’s the Holy Daughter, are you looking for me for something?" Carlos asked, raising an eyebrow, his face regaining its sunny and radiant look.

Rose Vesper smiled seductively, "I was thinking that perhaps we could join forces."

"What’s in it for me?" Carlos laughed.

"Of course, you can get what you want, like... Miss Nadia."

Rose Vesper, unhurried, continued, "Without my help, you will never be able to get Miss Nadia, she seems to be deeply in love with Qin Chu."

"Don’t even think about defeating the Hero, Carlos, your strength is nothing in front of Qin Chu, without my help, you cannot possibly be his match; he could kill you as easily as killing a dog, no different."

A flash of indignation crossed Carlos’s eyes, "And you, Holy Daughter?"

"I naturally get what I want too, like... the Hero."

...

Within the palace.

Asina had returned.

Violet quietly sat on the back of the sofa.

Silf sat in a chair, leg crossed in an almost big-sister head attitude, completely unconcerned about possibly exposing herself despite the presence of Qin Chu, a man, in the room.

Norma, Helois, and Angelica sat obediently together.

Antasia and Iyeta stood with their arms crossed over their chests, quietly by the side.

Catherine held the Heavy Sword, leaning against a cabinet.

Even Antia had awakened, still wrapped in chains, quietly standing behind Qin Chu, obviously resembling Qin Chu’s most loyal guard.

"Asina, how is the situation on your side?" Qin Chu asked Asina.

"Rose Vesper knows of a place that might contain a Soul Fragment, in the Momoer Kingdom, and she hopes that I could investigate," replied Asina.

Qin Chu nodded, "Then go with Silf, it’s safer with more people."

Asina nodded slightly, feeling a warmth in her heart, Qin Chu really cared for her, whether it was just for appearances or not.

Silf was somewhat reluctant, preferring to stay here for Qin Chu’s treatment as she still had many threads yet to be removed from her body.

But since it was Qin Chu’s request, Silf would not refuse even if she was reluctant.

"Violet, Norma, Angelica, Antasia, stay inside the palace, and don’t go anywhere," Qin Chu instructed.

Going to search for the heart seemed like a task that could not be completed in a short time, so Qin Chu had to make meticulous arrangements before leaving.

Violet initially wanted to act with Qin Chu, but with Antia by his side, who was no less capable than her, there likely weren’t too many worries.

Staying in the palace would also allow Qin Chu to rest easy.

"Catherine, continue staying with Rose Vesper. If there are any developments there, you can inform me at any time," Qin Chu told Catherine, who nodded in agreement.

Qin Chu then sent messages to Candice and Saint Monica, arranging some matters.

After everything was prepared, Qin Chu left the palace with Antia, Helois, and Iyeta.

But Qin Chu did not notice that just outside the palace, a pair of eyes was staring in this direction.

It was none other than the previously departed Shaye Nicholas.

Her crimson eyes shimmered with an eerie light under the moonlight.
