Chapter 625: Chapter 451 The Witch’s Destined One (3)

So beautiful.

It was a beauty completely opposite to gentleness and grace, a beauty of a different kind in itself.

Even though Qin Chu was not Dou Aimu, he could still feel the astonishing charm of the lady.

Qin Chu found it hard to describe the feeling; it was as if all exquisite things had combined to form the most perfect visual enjoyment, even just quietly floating in mid-air she became a dazzling sight.

Her dress was not revealing, yet it accentuated her allure.

The silvery-white dress she wore wasn’t like the gauzy skirts of ordinary girls, it was a bit thicker, and at the waist was a starkly contrasting black belt which, beneath its tight grip, made her waist even more gracefully slim, slender as a willow swaying in the wind.

Beneath the fluttering hem, were stockings that were thick enough to be considered trousers.

Wrapped tightly below was a pair of long legs, round and solid as pillars, even without touching, one could sense their astonishing elasticity and subtle warmth.

That face was so beautiful it didn’t seem to belong to this world, dreamlike and ethereal, with bright, noble eyes resembling those of a phoenix, and even her fluttering strands of hair exuded dignity and elegance. Such beauty, among the many ladies Qin Chu had encountered, only Great and Small Shaye could compare, even Silf and Asina, two absolutely stunning beauties, fell a little short.

And that unapproachable noble air added a profound pressure on both Silf and Asina.

This... is the Pride Witch.

Qin Chu’s gaze swept over her voluptuous body, and due to having Great and Small Shaye by his side, his resistance in this aspect was quite high, so he quickly regained his composure.

But his eyes did not waver, instead, his gaze fixed on that breathtaking face.

Qin Chu was trying to discern whether the Pride Witch had gone mad like Phil and Violet.

Her dark eyes were as deep as the starry sky.

There was no madness in the depths of her eyes.

It seemed, she had not gone mad.

While Qin Chu scrutinized the Pride Witch, her gaze likewise swept over him, Asina, Silf, and... Little Shaye.

It lingered the longest on Little Shaye.

Without a doubt, the Pride Witch could clearly feel the terrifying pressure emanating from Little Shaye, a presence stronger than herself, but still, not a trace of fear appeared on the Pride Witch’s face.

The eyes of the two powerful witches crossed for a moment.

The Pride Witch’s gaze had already returned to Qin Chu, and she could see through the thoughts in his heart, "You don’t need to worry about me going mad like other witches."

"Even the Divine Authority cannot be controlled, which would be a disgrace to the name of Pride," said a cool voice spreading through the night sky.

The voice wasn’t loud, but it had an air of majesty and pride.

Tsk, that really is quite arrogant.

Perhaps it was this inherent arrogant nature that made her the perfect vessel for the Authority of Pride, mastering the power of domination.

Controlling the minds of others, wantonly twisting the souls of other beings, making everything submit before her, that is the Domination of Pride.

Qin Chu had not yet recovered, his muscles still spasmodic and painfully tingling, but he maintained the proper composure and etiquette. It seemed the Pride Witch wasn’t here to fight, which was good news.

Even with Little Shaye present, it was best to avoid conflicts with the witch if possible.

It was dangerous.

A smile appeared on Qin Chu’s face, "Sorry, it’s a reflexive act, I’m sure the Pride Witch wouldn’t be angry over such a trivial matter, right?"

"It seems a bit impolite, might I have the honor of inviting the Witch into my residence for a chat?"

The Pride Witch’s pale face showed no change in expression; she placidly nodded and glided through the night sky, slowly descending.

In front of the inn, Aileen was still screaming.

She had not died.

"Silf, watch over Aileen and make sure no one comes to harm her, understood?" Qin Chu instructed Silf beside him.

He was too kind-hearted, still caring for this woman who was bent on killing him.

After all, Aileen was already in a pitiable state, her arms torn off, bleeding unstoppably, Qin Chu couldn’t bear to see it, let alone someone hurting her further at this time.

Otherwise, Aileen might die too quickly by accident.

"Asina, recover Aileen’s storage rings from her fingers... I mean, find Jie Luo’s Soul Fragments, then set up a Barrier around us."

The two girls nodded and left.

Qin Chu then invited the Pride Witch into the room.

As soon as he entered, Qin Chu suddenly remembered a very serious problem—that this was not the familiar palace he was used to, with no hall to entertain guests.

The room contained only a bed and a chair, nothing more.

This made Qin Chu a bit embarrassed, "Cough cough, I apologize for the rudimentary setting, Witch."

The Pride Witch still did not speak, just shook her head slightly to indicate it was not a problem.

As the hem of her dress softly swirled, her long, shapely legs crossed gently, the sound of her high-heeled boots tapping on the floor creating a crisp echo, every move she made was full of grace and poise.

She wasn’t deliberately showing off anything, but the nobility always unintentionally revealed itself.

Qin Chu sat on the edge of the bed, Little Shaye gently leaned against the windowsill, and the room had only the three of them.

The Pride Witch’s fingers trailed along the armrest of the chair, doing nothing to start the conversation immediately, rendering the atmosphere in the room a bit tense. Qin Chu’s expression didn’t change, still full of smiles. He prepared to start with some casual small talk, having a premonition that he might receive a lot of important information from the Pride Witch:

"I still don’t know your esteemed name..."

"Pride Witch." The same cool voice answered.

Crisp and pleasant, yet tinged with sternness.

"Um, I mean your actual name." Qin Chu blinked.

The Pride Witch’s elegant eyebrows slightly furrowed, her expression seeming a bit fierce as if she did not wish to mention her real name. After a few seconds had passed, the Pride Witch finally spoke up, "Adelina!"

"What a beautiful name," Qin Chu praised.

Beautiful woman, beautiful name.

"So, Miss Adelina, may I ask which temple’s Holy Daughter you were before becoming a witch? The Temple of Pride?" Qin Chu asked with some suspicion.

Among the witches, aside from Shaye, the Dark Witch, the others were all former Holy Daughters of temples that had been destroyed. What deity did she worship, the God of Pride?

Does such a divine being even exist?

If that were the case, things would be quite problematic.

After all, Qin Chu was the current Pope of the Holy Court.

And those temples had been destroyed by the Holy Court a millennium ago; although Qin Chu was not responsible, it was still somewhat awkward.

Upon hearing his words, Adelina seemed to recall something, her lips curling into a faint smile, which almost immediately disappeared: "Don’t worry, I am not a Holy Daughter from any temple."

"The destruction of all temples by the Holy Court a thousand years ago has nothing to do with me."

Seeing through his thoughts, Qin Chu felt a bit embarrassed.

"Though many years have passed, a thousand years ago I should have been the queen of some country."

Qin Chu was dumbstruck, his forehead beading with sweat. Indeed, she was a bona fide Queen.

"In fact, among the many witches, there are quite a few who were not Holy Daughters of any temple: Pride, Greed, Jealousy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, Fury. To my knowledge, at least these seven were not." Adelina said casually.

These seemingly casual revelations made Qin Chu frown deeply.

He had a feeling that there was something specific about these seven witches.

"Adelina, you are a member of the Hidden Society, aren’t you? The second-in-command, I believe. Why would you want to kill members of the Hidden Society, even helping me eliminate Aileen’s three puppets?" Qin Chu curiously inquired.

While the two conversed, Little Shaye remained quietly leaning against the windowsill. She didn’t do anything, but her gaze was constantly fixed on Adelina, guarding against any sudden attempts by Adelina to manipulate Qin Chu’s soul.

"Hidden Society... heh..."

A slight exhale conveyed Adelina’s disdain.

Although a member of the Hidden Society, Adelina clearly looked down on this so-called secret organization.

"It’s simple. I joined the Hidden Society because I wanted to use it to search for something," Adelina explained, seemingly not intending to hide anything and continuing without waiting for Qin Chu to ask, "After I gained the Authority of Pride, I understood my destiny."

"In the starry sky, I have my enemies."

Gulp!

Qin Chu silently swallowed.

She realized in her heart that this witch was one of her own people.

"That being is mysterious, powerful, and terrifying."

"But, so what? I am not such an obedient girl as to follow the arrangements of fate."

"For a thousand years, I’ve been searching."

"Under my command, one church after another fell to their destruction, I obliterated the Plague School, shattered the original Blissful Witch Association, destroyed the Blood Skull Holy Hall, sent the Wheel of Destiny to its grave, and crushed the Evil Eye..."

Qin Chu’s thoughts stirred.

The names of these churches had appeared in the notes of Zimmerman and Augustus.

A millennium ago, these were the evil organizations worshipping the Void Seven Evil Gods, bringing ruin to humanity.

They spread plague, spurred wars, indulged in excess, and brought countless deaths to the Sky Dome Continent.

Yet these mysterious and powerful organizations were all destroyed in a short period of time.

It turns out that the Pride Witch did all of this...

However, the Holy Court was too shameless, too despicable, claiming that all these evil teachings were eradicated by them.

Uh, considering he was now the Pope of the Holy Court, isn’t this like cursing oneself?

"I wanted to find the enemy of my destiny by eliminating these churches, but sadly, those weird and powerful beings wouldn’t show an ounce of mercy for their followers, no matter how many of them I killed, I never got any response," Adelina continued.

This was to be expected; at that time, the Seven Evil Gods were busy suppressing the Holy Light Goddess, who was still in her prime, and didn’t have the time to care about the affairs of the Sky Dome Continent.

"Not until one day, I found the Hidden Society, and finally got a glimpse of the deity they worshipped..."

"It was a mass of crimson fog, with a giant rift in the middle, resembling its gaping maw, but instead of teeth within that mouth, there were writhing tentacles..."

Gulp!

Qin Chu gulped again, not waiting for Adelina to finish, interjecting, "Those weird tentacles wriggled in the Void like long serpents, capturing and devouring passing meteors..."

Adelina’s eyes suddenly brightened, her dark pupils sparkling, "When It hungers, It emits a tremendous howl... Qin Chu, you truly are the one I’ve been destined to find!"
