Chapter 632: Chapter 458: First Generation Jie Luo’s Request (2)

Adelina was curiously examining the mysterious space inside Qin Chu’s body, but soon her vision was blocked as the little tree seedling wrapped around her, layer by layer, turning the Pride Witch Adelina into a tightly sealed rice dumpling.

The Pride Witch was like the meat stuffing inside the rice dumpling, hung from a tree branch after being wrapped, resembling a fruit borne by the little tree seedling.

Adelina’s will, which had persisted until now, finally began to melt away; the pain and fatigue her soul bore surged forth in that moment, dragging Adelina’s consciousness into a deep slumber.

Outside, Qin Chu leisurely approached Adelina’s corpse.

Although the body was already dead and the eyes devoid of any sparkle, it still looked beautiful, like the most delicate and perfect doll in the world.

The body still retained some warmth, and the skin was still elastic.

With a slight sigh, Qin Chu reached out his right hand toward Adelina’s body.

Hisss!

As soon as he stimulated the Magic Power within him, Qin Chu immediately gasped in a breath of cold air.

His muscles and skin jittered as if electrocuted, his body feeling as though countless tiny steel needles had been jabbed into it.

Indeed, after excessive fatigue and injuries, using magic was still a bit challenging in the current situation.

With no other options, Qin Chu had to call Asina over and they froze Adelina’s corpse to prevent decay over time.

After doing this, Qin Chu, with Asina’s support, left the inn and stepped onto the cracked streets outside.

Silf, yawning, appeared somewhat fatigued, her slender body leaning against a crooked lamppost, guarding the body on the ground that moved slowly like a worm.

Aileen was not dead yet.

True to her reputation as an extremely powerful expert, her life force was much more stubborn than that of ordinary people.

Adelina had only snapped Aileen’s two arms; apart from that, there were no other overly severe or fatal injuries, but for Aileen, this outcome was the worst possible.

She wanted to flee, but without her arms, she had no chance to struggle or resist in front of Silf.

Silf strictly followed Qin Chu’s orders, not allowing Aileen to escape but also never attempting to kill Aileen, forcing her to watch helplessly as blood spurted from above her shoulders, her body becoming increasingly frail and unable to support itself.

Eventually, even the strength to scream faded away as she waited for death in fear and despair.

Aileen’s consciousness was already blurring; her pupils even showed signs of disarray.

But when she heard footsteps and instinctively turned her head to see Qin Chu’s figure, those dull eyes suddenly burst with a sharp light, the resentment in her gaze almost tangible.

Like the most corrosive liquid, she seemed to try to penetrate Qin Chu’s body.

Gurgle gurgle...

From her throat, a strange raspy sound seemed to emerge.

Though she had lost all strength, her lips were still twitching; she seemed desperate to lunge at Qin Chu and fiercely bite him, even if it were only once.

Unfortunately, even this simple act was beyond Aileen’s capabilities now.

That body, now nothing more than a stick, writhed and struggled in vain to rise from the ground.

Kindly, Qin Chu walked over to the front of Aileen, looking down at her miserable and ragged figure with not a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Will..." Aileen seemed to muster all her strength, her lips faintly moving, "someone will definitely... kill you, you demon... definitely..."

"Demon?" Qin Chu scratched his head in slight resignation, as it seemed many people used that term to describe him, although he did not think he had any connection with demons.

"Although, compared to what you two sisters have done, you seem more like demons to me," Qin Chu spread his hands.

"But if the title makes you feel better, then by all means, I don’t care; I’m generous like that."

"Let it be demon then; maybe someone will defeat this demon someday, but unfortunately... you won’t be around to see it."

Spurt...

The undisguised sarcasm seemed to deeply agitate Aileen once more, her chest heaving violently as fresh blood spurted out and her body convulsed violently, her head lolling to the side as her eyes lost all their light.

Tsk.

She died from that? Qin Chu felt perplexed, feeling like Aileen was a bit too petty.

"Asina..." Qin Chu glanced at Asina.

After Silf took her place supporting Qin Chu, Asina approached Aileen’s side, flicked her finger, and a swathe of crimson flame quickly engulfed Aileen’s body. Accompanied by sizzling and popping sounds, a strange smell began to spread through the night sky.

In no time, Aileen’s body, including her soul, was completely incinerated by the fierce fire.

After doing these things, Asina and Silf took Qin Chu back to the bedroom. Angelica was not there, and for the time being Silf and Asina took on the roles of maids... Speaking of which, Silf was also wearing a maid costume.

Unfortunately, Silf as a maid had only the appearance; she completely lacked the essence of being a maid.

Her work serving the master was also quite terrible.

Qin Chu had no intention of sleeping yet and leaned against the headboard, "Asina... thank you for what you did for Little Saye."

A gentle smile appeared on Asina’s beautiful face. Although it was just a simple compliment, it made Asina very happy.

"How about the matter I asked you to handle before?"

"Aileen’s storage ring has been completely recovered," Asina nodded and quickly reported the situation, "Besides a large amount of wealth, there was also one of Aileen’s notebooks and two soul fragments of Jie Luo."

"Huh? Two fragments?" Qin Chu was slightly startled.

This number surprised him.

Qin Chu had thought that it would be good if there was even one soul fragment in Aileen’s possession; he had not expected there to be two.

This meant that essentially all of the main soul fragments of Jie Luo had been gathered.

Asina nodded, "Yes, two. According to the notes left by Aileen, one of the fragments was indeed collected by the Exeter Kingdom."

"As for the other one, Aileen found it a few days ago."

"The locations of both soul fragments were provided by Aileen’s mysterious collaborator, including those three large-bodied monsters, which were puppets provided by the collaborator."

"As for the identity of the collaborator, Aileen herself is not clear."

Keeping a journal is a good habit; at least it spared us the need to torture Aileen again to get the information.

While Aileen was unsure of the collaborator’s identity, Qin Chu had a judgement in his mind after combining various clues.

These three puppets were clearly modeled after the Demon Prince Diaberlic.

The corpse of Diaberlic had been snatched from his own hands by Demon King Nage.

His ace spy in Demon King City, Luo Meng, had also personally confirmed that he saw three Diaberlics leaving the Demon King Palace, heading towards the direction of the Exeter Kingdom.

Taking all this into account, the mysterious collaborator working with Aileen was undoubtedly Demon King Nage.

Demon King Nage provided Aileen with two coordinates for the soul fragments and three powerful puppets, which was no small cost. Consequently, Qin Chu grew even more curious about what Nage wanted to get.

"The collaborator wants two things. First, Aileen’s blood."

Qin Chu raised an eyebrow. Aileen, carrying the bloodline of a vampire, was quite a fine raw material for some magicians skilled in magic potion refining.

"Second, your complete corpse."

Sheesh...

Hearing this, Qin Chu could not help but smack his lips.

Were there too many people in this world who wanted his corpse? Augustus wanted his corpse, and now even Demon King Nage wanted his corpse?

Was his corpse really that appealing? It’s not like it’s the meat of a Tang Monk; how could it be so valuable?

Augustus wanted his body to transform it into a powerful puppet completely under control, even planning to merge his body with the Divine’s Right Leg to scheme for power to combat the Void God.

So, what did Demon King Nage want with his corpse?

According to Shay, part of the Eighth Evil God’s remains also existed within the Demon King City.

Demon King Nage hired Shaye to study the diluted blood of the Evil God.

Furthermore, considering the timeline, Demon King Nage’s research on the Evil God had far surpassed that of Augustus, and with his inherent powerful strength and Shaye’s assistance as the most skilled witch, the research results would undoubtedly be more significant than Augustus’s.

With too few useful clues at hand and relying on mere speculation, it was difficult for Qin Chu to draw any valuable conclusions, so he raised a hand and rubbed his forehead slightly, "Asina, interpret those two soul fragments."

Asina nodded, first taking out one soul fragment and placing it on her palm, taking a deep breath and intensely gazing at the tiny crystal in her palm. As the number of times she interpreted soul fragments increased, Asina had become more adept.

Most importantly, out of seven divine statues in Asina’s soul, five had been exorcised, and the force suppressing Asina’s soul had waned significantly, with her soul power continuously strengthening.

Threads of gray-black lines rapidly emerged from between Asina’s brows, connecting with the soul fragment and permeating into it.

The speed of sensing the imprinted content inside the soul fragment had also significantly increased.

Before long, Asina’s lips slowly parted, seemingly affected by the emotions recorded within the soul fragment, her voice sounding fearful and panicked:

"Whoever sees this content... please, kill the Second Generation Jie Luo, I beg you..."
