Chapter 600: Chapter 433: Four Sisters (2)

Pride Witch.

I had never expected such a gain.

For some unknown reason, Qin Chu felt that this witch was extremely important to him.

Compared to the Pride Witch, Alfred was merely a pawn, not worth mentioning.

Asina recounted in detail what had happened with Tatter and Alfred, especially Tatter. Although it seemed that Alfred, the Elf King, might be the main character responsible for all the events, Asina had a vague feeling that Tatter was even weirder and more dangerous.

Qin Chu also kept this name in mind.

...

The following day at noon.

Miluo appeared in the inn, inviting Qin Chu to attend a banquet at the Royal Palace.

She knew Qin Chu would definitely be together with two members of the Hero Team, and of course, Miluo also invited Asina and Silf. Even without the identities of Hero Team members or the Hero’s lover, the sheer strength of these two was enough to command respect.

However, Asina and Silf declined the invitation because Qin Chu had other tasks arranged for them.

Asina needed to use her ability to control rodents to master everything within the Royal City. But when Asina concentrated her attention to receive a flood of information from her clan, she would be in a completely defenseless state, and Silf needed to act as her bodyguard during this time.

Apart from her tall stature and the fur on her skin, not to mention the Wolf Fang Club in her hand, Miluo was a very excellent Princess. Qin Chu was certain that Miluo was utterly heartbroken by the treatment she received last night. Yet today, she appeared to have completely returned to normal as if nothing had happened, always wearing a gentle and elegant smile as she casually introduced some customs and etiquette of the Exeter Kingdom to Qin Chu on their way to the palace.

The Royal Palace was right at the center of the Royal City, and before they knew it, they had already arrived at the palace gate.

There were only three people in charge of reception at the gate.

At a glance, the first to catch Qin Chu’s eye was a tall woman.

Qin Chu once thought that in this world, there would be no woman whose figure could rival Asina’s, but upon seeing this woman, he realized he was wrong.

There was, and it was absurdly striking.

Her tall and curvaceous body, her fiery figure was not concealed by the conservative long dress of the kingdom. Her skin was fair and delicate, her cheeks narrow and long, and the corners of her upward-tilted golden eyes were filled with charm.

Especially those tall, golden ears that lifted high, adding a distinct allure, the three fluffy golden tails at her back swayed gently, attracting Qin Chu’s gaze, making one want to caress them.

Holding that plush tail in one’s arms would probably be very comfortable.

Her beautiful and delicate face was always adorned with a light smile.

Upon seeing this woman, Qin Chu subconsciously thought of a mythical creature—the nine-tailed fox!

She was a naturally seductive elf, her charm even more exaggerated than that of an Enchanting Demon.

If an Enchanting Demon signified desire, then she was purity mixed with desire.

Noticing Qin Chu’s gaze, Miluo bit her lip slightly. Her mood was not greatly affected as she introduced with a smile, "Mr. Brave, this is my second sister, Fini!"

Qin Chu’s gaze didn’t linger excessively, having encountered so many beauties, his resistance had increased quite a bit. His eyes quickly withdrew and he did not even offer an Empire-style embrace, cheek kiss, or hand kiss, but simply bowed slightly, "So, this is Princess Fini. Truly a beauty that would bring ruin to a kingdom and cause the downfall of cities."

"Mr. Brave seems even more charming than I imagined," Fini also covered her mouth with a slight laugh, her voice as pleasant as droplets falling into a clear spring, her sparkling golden eyes shifting between Qin Chu and Miluo.

Beauty that would bring ruin to a kingdom, cause the downfall of cities?

What kind of praise is this?

Though it is unheard of, it feels inexplicably delightful.

It has much more style than the compliments of noble sons, such as "you’re so beautiful," like the moon, stars, flowers, or goddess in the sky.

Qin Chu, accustomed to dealing with high society, maintained a smile on his face, "Really? It seems my image in Princess Fini’s mind must have been quite bad previously."

Some jest, which seemed to tickle Fini’s funny bone, brought about a fit of laughter – indeed a fit of laughter.

"Ahem..." Miluo’s light cough interrupted Fini’s laughter, pointing to a girl beside Fini, she introduced, "This is my third sister, Selma!"

So this was the Cat Girl.

The one who had undergone ancestral regression must be a white cat.

Her silky white hair almost reached her knees, her cheeks petite and cute, her eyes twinkling with a captivating and lazy luster, and on her little head, a pair of cute fluffy white ears trembled slightly from time to time.

As for the last one, she was a girl who, while looking very pretty, didn’t seem much different from an ordinary person. Her delicate and compact stature, the sea-blue long hair, and eyes also had their own allure.

However, the entire person seemed somewhat shy. Although she was here to receive an honored guest, her body subconsciously shrank behind her second sister, not wanting to come out even when pulled.

"Sorry..." Fini spread her hands apologetically, giving up on the idea of getting her little sister to greet the guests, "My little sister is just very shy."

"No, no, no, I should be the one to apologize. It is I who have visited unannounced, bringing unnecessary trouble to you all," Qin Chu shook his head.

"How could that be? We are greatly honored to have Mr. Brave visit our small and remote Exeter Kingdom,"

As they spoke, led by the four princesses, they made their way to the inner sanctum of the royal palace.

Miluo actively gave way to Fini and Selma for the place beside Qin Chu.

The youngest sister was too young and far too shy. Though adorable, it was likely that she wouldn’t catch the eye of the Hero.

The marriage alliance between the Exeter Kingdom and the Hero was expected to be chosen from Fini and Selma.

This was quite normal, and not at all strange.

If one were to speak of the fate of princesses, Fini and Selma understood this point very clearly. The reason they were yet unwed was purely due to the absence of a suitable candidate for a marriage alliance.

The chatter buzzed in his ear, yet Qin Chu wore only a faint smile on his face, responding gently and slowly. The atmosphere seemed quite pleasant.

Inside the Royal Court, the old king was waiting.

Though located on the frontier and seemingly unlikely to clash with the Oville Empire, as a king he could not avoid preparing in advance. He even had his spies carefully placed within the empire to provide intelligence at all times.

Just now, he had received several pieces of intelligence.

And almost all of them regarded Qin Chu.

The Second Generation Brave Warrior being confirmed as the Pope of the Holy Court.

Pope Augustus and Saintess Rosweiser had a falling out, resulting in the death of Augustus and the disappearance of the Saintess. Qin Chu succeeded as the new Pope and executed nine archbishops and a vice captain with absolutely ruthless means... This made the old king quite envious; the entire kingdom put together could not muster so many experts.

Besides this, nearly ten thousand holy men opposing him were also executed.

Just this fact alone indicated that this new His Holiness was entirely different from the preceding Popes of the Holy Court—this man simply did not care about others’ opinions of him and spared no cruelty due to concerns about impact.

Once judged an enemy by Qin Chu, a clean death seemed to be the best outcome.

And that wasn’t all. Within the Imperial City of Oville, another story was spreading—that on the very night he became Pope, Qin Chu led a group of holy men to the front lines, assisting the soldiers in killing a demon army of two hundred thousand, even going so far as to personally dismember the third son of the Demon King, Deacon.

The sheer capability to destroy an army of two hundred thousand demons was beyond what the kingdom could confront.

Such a terrifying existence in the empire was definitely a serious threat.

What the old king found most bizarre was that the coronation as Pope took place last night, as did the slaying of the demons and arrival at the Exeter Kingdom...

Could it be that Qin Chu possessed the ability to use a Clone Technique?

Although perplexed, the old king at least understood one thing—he must not show the slightest neglect towards Qin Chu.

Although it was shameless to use one’s own daughters to lure a Hero, it was the most effective method.

Not long after, a commotion stirred from up ahead. The old king quickly concealed the gravity on his face, replacing it with a warm and joyous smile, and strode eagerly to greet Qin Chu, seizing the Hero’s hands:

"Mr. Brave, I have long heard of your astonishing talent. You personally eradicated a million-strong demon army and killed the Second Prince of Demons. You truly are a great hero of humanity. I have long wished to meet you, Mr. Brave, but simply couldn’t find the opportunity, what with running a country and being so very busy every day. Your visit today also gives me a rare chance to rest."

"This is my father, King Edson," interjected Miluo in a timely fashion.

"No, no, no, I have only done some trivial things. King Edson is the one truly renowned throughout the land. Who doesn’t know that under your rule, the Exeter Kingdom enjoys peace and its citizens live in happiness and contentment? Truly a paragon among kings," Qin Chu replied with a smile, offering his compliments.

These words rendered Miluo next to them speechless; mutual flattery had its limits and was enough to make one’s skin crawl.

After a mutual flattery session that lasted for about fifteen minutes, they finally arrived at the banquet scene.

King Edson did not call for many nobles to join; it was just Qin Chu, King Edson, and his four daughters attending—no more.

To call it a banquet would be generous; it was more like a casual gathering.

Of course, the dishes were still quite lavish, with countless delicacies. At the banquet, Edson had Selma and Fini continuously offer toasts to Qin Chu, obviously trying to bring Qin Chu closer to his daughters.

The fragrance unique to young girls wafted in the air, with occasional physical contact, soft skin, and alluring voices seemingly enough to unsettle the mind.

Qin Chu, however, was accepting yet not refusing any of the princesses’ toasts, nor was he seeking to shorten the distance between them.

After three rounds of drinks, Qin Chu got straight to the point, "King Edson, there is another matter I need to attend to during my visit to the kingdom."

Edson gently set down his wine glass, thinking to himself that finally, it had come, "Oh? If there’s anything you need, Mr. Brave, do not hesitate to ask. If I can be of assistance, I will not refuse."

"It’s like this. The year the First Generation Brave died, meteors streaked across the Sky Dome Continent, and it seems one of them fell within the Exeter Kingdom."

"Has the kingdom conducted any investigations concerning this event?"

A trace of suspicion flickered in Edson’s eyes as he asked, "The year the First Generation Brave died?"

After pondering briefly, the king nodded decisively, "I remember now. There was certainly an investigation. A beam of light shot through the sky and fell into a hollow near the Imperial City, even causing an earthquake that led to a landslide."

Qin Chu’s eyes shimmered slightly, "Then may I inquire if King Edson discovered something similar?"

As he spoke, Qin Chu unfolded a Magic Image that displayed the Soul Fragment of Jie Luo.

Upon seeing this object, Edson’s expression changed, and he stood up abruptly, "Mr. Brave, you are a step too late; someone has already stolen this object!"
