Chapter 60: Chapter 52: Qin Chu or Jie Luo? (Please follow)

Looking at the empty bottle that had rolled to one side on the ground, Qin Chu was baffled.

Was Catherine so disciplined?

Qin Chu was already somewhat expectant, wondering what effects the City Beauty Love would ultimately bring.

A burst of flame arose from the ground and melted the glass bottle, as Qin Chu did not want to leave any clues that Rose Vesper could trace back to him.

Maybe she was really too drunk; after drinking the last of the City Beauty Love, Catherine just quietly lay on Qin Chu’s back, motionless, and he could only hear her weak, steady breathing as if she had fallen asleep.

Only Shaye hovered above Qin Chu’s head, her face full of a weird smile, staring at Catherine with her eyes wide open.

In her prime, Shaye’s strength was formidable, nominally the Demon King was the Eternal Monarch Nag, but if it came to a fight, Shaye was far from cowardly.

The Hero Team, except for Qin Chu, even if all ten members were added together, were absolutely no match for Shaye.

But, opportunities to use a Valkyrie of Catherine’s caliber for experiments were indeed rare.

The original effect of City Beauty Love could not satisfy Shaye, and she didn’t have much time left.

She was eager to see what kind of effect the enhanced version of City Beauty Love, which she had modified and reprocessed, would produce.

Witches always enjoyed various kinds of research and experiments, whether it was magic or magic potions.

Catherine had not fallen asleep.

She was still awake.

Maybe she really had drunk too much.

She felt dazed and in pain, especially after drinking the sweet beverage she found on Qin Chu, the feeling became even more intense.

Her brain was exceptionally heavy.

Each movement made Catherine feel a terrifying sense of imminent collapse, and the world seemed to spin before her eyes.

It should have been uncomfortable, but... strangely, Catherine didn’t dislike this feeling; she even felt as if she were floating on clouds, drifting with the wind.

It seemed her tolerance for alcohol had gone down a bit.

Previously, such an amount of alcohol was nothing to her.

Her body began to burn hot, as if she had a fever. The weird, burning sensation made Catherine feel somewhat irritated.

Even weirder, Catherine felt somewhat sad, sad enough to cry, as if a piece of her soul was missing, making her uncomfortable. She didn’t understand what was happening to her, why such strange feelings were emerging.

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the man whose back she was leaning against, his broad back and tall stature seemingly overlapping with a figure deep in her heart.

Her hands tightly hugged the man’s chest, her fingers caressing his chest. His body felt like a block of ice, bringing waves of coolness that just right counteracted the scorching heat on her body.

Her arms held him even tighter.

She didn’t want to part with this man; she wanted to be with him forever, forever...forever...

Catherine’s face was covered with a blissful smile; she was very happy, very happy... It should have been so, but it wasn’t enough.

Catherine could feel a huge void in the deepest part of her consciousness, in her soul, making her incredibly empty. She desperately needed someone to fill this emptiness.

Qin Chu didn’t pay attention to Catherine’s behavior behind him since she had drunk herself into such a state, and it wasn’t strange for her to do anything.

About an hour later, Qin Chu’s figure reappeared near a small door on the left side of the palace.

The guard, who was diligently doing his job, was still standing there waiting for Qin Chu’s return.

When he saw Qin Chu and Catherine, the guard visibly relaxed... Finally, they had come back, and it was just a few minutes to the shift change.

If the matter of letting Qin Chu leave the palace privately was exposed, he definitely couldn’t escape punishment. To earn that one thousand mana, he had also taken a great risk.

The guard didn’t say anything, just stepped aside from the small gate, indicating Qin Chu to hurry back.

At the bedroom door, the guard temporarily left to prepare for the handover.

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Chu quickly walked into the room and tossed the drunken Catherine onto the bed.

Looking at the sexy woman on the bed, what can he say, normally, Catherine was a valiant female warrior, more manly than men.

However, after getting drunk, she had become somewhat more feminine.

Although she lacked the delicate and gentle beauty of Rose Vesper, Catherine absolutely had a good face, and paired with her fiery figure, she was indeed what many men would consider a stunner, a perfect beauty if she didn’t speak, only hindered by her rather off-putting personality.

Just like now, as she lay on the bed, her body twisting like a water snake, cheeks flushed with a pale pink, and those silky, sultry eyes, even Qin Chu couldn’t help but feel a stir of emotion.

Of course, this emotion was purely a man’s physical response to a woman, devoid of any heartfelt feelings.

He adjusted the expression on his face, crafting a look of helpless confusion, and headed toward the door.

Behind him, Catherine, on hearing his footsteps and watching his figure moving further away, felt an immense and unbearable emptiness growing within her.

The hollow pain almost brought tears to her eyes.

Squeak...

The door was pulled open by Qin Chu.

Six guards stood outside.

"Ah, is it Lord Nicholas’s turn on duty today?" Qin Chu managed a strained smile, greeting them.

Nicholas maintained the composed demeanor of the Royal Guard. His darker skin seemed cleaner in the moonlight, his dark green eyes looking at Qin Chu with some surprise, "Mr. Brave, you’ve trained hard all afternoon. Why not rest earlier? If there’s anything you need to do, please, leave it to us..."

"Oh, no, no, Lord Nicholas, you misunderstand,"

Qin Chu shook his head, "You know Miss Catherine likes to drink. She’s drunk, and moreover, she’s taken over my room, my bed. I think I need to find another place to sleep... The smell of alcohol in the room is just awful."

Nicholas immediately understood.

They were well aware of Miss Catherine’s infamous fondness for alcohol.

But they hadn’t expected that she would just move in today and immediately drunkenly take over the Hero’s room... Had it not been for this woman’s truly formidable strength, she really would not be fit to be the Hero’s companion.

Nicholas gave Qin Chu a sympathetic look:

"I hope you find a comfortable room, Mr. Brave. Miss Angelica’s room isn’t too bad..."

While speaking, Nicholas winked at Qin Chu.

The meaning behind that gesture was something any man would understand; the faces of the guards around them all bore teasing smiles.

Even Qin Chu’s lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

But just then, suddenly from behind Qin Chu, rushed footsteps approached rapidly, albeit falteringly, along with the smell of alcohol; someone grabbed onto the hem of his clothes.

Turning his head, who else could it be but Catherine?

But now, Catherine looked particularly off, her cheeks flushed red, her eyes misty and confused, her soft, pink lips slightly parted as if breathing in the scent of orchids.

Her chest heaved rapidly with her breaths.

"Don’t go..."

The next second, with strength, she pulled Qin Chu back into the room. With a clang, the door shut, leaving the group of bewildered guards outside.

They looked at each other, seeing the envy in each other’s eyes, truly a Hero’s privilege, enviable beyond reach.

One was the Hero, the other a member of the Hero Team, Valkyrie Catherine...

This matter between these two, we small guards better not get involved, right?

Qin Chu, dragged right back to the bed, was still somewhat dazed, about to speak when Catherine’s slender arms had already wrapped around his neck.

Her fiery lips pressed directly against Qin Chu’s.

Between the kisses, Qin Chu could hear Catherine’s rapid breath:

"Jie Luo, love me..."

Jie Luo?

Was this woman, in her drunken stupor, mistaking him for Jie Luo?

If one were deeply in love with this woman, hearing another man’s name in such a moment would definitely ignite a fury.

But now, when Qin Chu heard this name, instead, he felt the thrill of being an accomplice to betrayal.
