Chapter 634: Chapter 460 An Early or Late Demise in Bed (4)

Without many clues, Qin Chu could only try his best to speculate.

It was very possible that the Second Generation Jie Luo had detected some method that allowed him to traverse the confines of space, avoid the Void Seven Uglies, and reverse-travel from the Sky Dome Continent to Earth.

Regretfully, the First Generation Jie Luo did not leave any useful clues in this regard. Normally, it would be unlikely for such critical information to be omitted by the First Generation Jie Luo.

There were two possibilities: one, the Second Generation Jie Luo was only preparing to go to Earth but had not yet found the way, and thus, naturally, there was nothing to record.

The second possibility was that the Second Generation Jie Luo had already found the method, but also realized there was an additional sliver of unnatural consciousness within his soul. He might suspect that this was a method left by the Void Evil God in his soul to manipulate him, so he kept his most important information concealed, undetected by the First Generation Jie Luo.

Somehow, Qin Chu felt the second speculation was a little more likely.

In any case, for the current Demon King Nage and Jie Luo, they might already possess some method of reverse-traversing, but it wasn’t easy to achieve.

Even with the physical strength of a Demon King, space traversal might be unbearable, so they needed a more powerful and solid body to withstand the pressure and destruction brought on by the journey.

Because of this, Demon King Nage was particularly dissatisfied with the lack of increased defensive power in Shaye’s research findings.

And the reason for raising so many demands might be, on one hand, to create a perfect vessel for himself, and on the other hand, it could be to keep Shaye from discovering their real goal.

While Shaye was conducting her research, Nage and the Second Generation Jie Luo were not idling either, conducting various researches and experiments. This was also the reason why, after the Second Generation Jie Luo was killed, Demon King Nage suddenly became lax, even easing the attack on the human world.

For the Demon King, he had found an even more important and valuable goal, rendering the conquest of the Sky Dome Continent insignificant.

Similarly, minimizing appearances was also to prevent the gods of the Void from noticing the fact that the soul of the Second Generation Jie Luo still existed.

Their choice to use Aileen and three puppets to assassinate Qin Chu, rather than appear in person, was also for this reason.

The reason for wanting to capture my corpse is very likely similar to that of Augustus, which is to turn my corpse into a vessel strong and sturdy enough to resist the erosion and destruction caused by spatial travel.

Qin Chu knew there were likely many loopholes in these speculations, but this was the most logical explanation he could come up with, combining all the information at hand.

After a long while, Qin Chu let out a long sigh.

A cold smile appeared on his face.

Demon King Nage.

Second Generation Jie Luo.

You won’t succeed so easily, absolutely not!

Finally, he lifted his gaze, looking towards Silf and Asina, especially Asina.

"Asina, now that all of Jie Luo’s Soul Fragments have been found, it’s almost time to deal with Rose Vesper. You know what to do, right?"

Asina nodded vigorously.

On the matter of dealing with Rose Vesper, Qin Chu had previously discussed it in detail with Catherine, Asina, and Silf. The strategy was to make Silf appear to be a mole, in exchange for Rose Vesper’s trust in Asina and Catherine.

Only by gradually gaining trust could they learn of Rose Vesper’s location and then completely eliminate this woman.

Even though she was made out to be a mole, Silf was happy because she really didn’t want to have too much contact with a woman like Rose Vesper.

"Well... you all go back to rest. I’m a bit tired too," Qin Chu said with a faint smile on his face, speaking softly.

Yet both Asina and Silf could tell that Qin Chu was not quite right at the moment; the news he had just received was too bad.

So although it was Qin Chu’s command, neither of the two girls obediently left. Instead, they merely took off their coats and lay down quietly beside Qin Chu.

On the small bed, three figures lay together.

"It’s so cramped," Qin Chu muttered softly.

But even so, neither of the two girls left. They just exchanged a smile and hugged Qin Chu’s arm tightly.

Silf was slightly discontent because the arm she was holding was just a bone, and it was uncomfortable.

The room gradually quieted down.

Nothing happened throughout the night.

It was not until noon the next day that Qin Chu finally opened his eyes, with Silf and Asina still sleeping beside him like two little pigs.

The recovery of his bony right arm was quite satisfactory, with a small portion of the upper arm having regenerated. At this rate, it would take at most another week for the entire arm to be fully restored.

The chaotic magic power and Fighting Energy within his body had also been partially untangled and were no longer as mixed as before.

His body had regained a bit of physical strength, the previously spasming muscles and skin were gradually calming down, and his brain was no longer intermittently stinging as before.

Being able to recover to this extent in one night was quite satisfying for Qin Chu.

However, it seemed he wouldn’t be able to provide the Holy Light Goddess with energy this time.

Qin Chu tried to extract his skeletal right hand from between two soft enclosures... to be honest, the feeling was strange. You would think that a bare bone would not feel anything, but in reality, it felt even stronger than when it was previously covered with intact flesh and skin.

A slight movement immediately woke the sensitive Silf. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and her golden hair lay scattered casually over her chest and shoulders. Her drowsy appearance, different from her normal sensuality, added an extra touch of cuteness.

As her eyes slowly regained clarity, Silf immediately climbed out of bed, took out a maid costume from her storage ring and put it on, and then began to assist Qin Chu in dressing.

Asina, who was beside them, was also awakened by their movement. After everything was ready, the three of them left the room only to see Little Saye coming from the other side as they reached the door.

The fiery gaze swept across the trio, making no effort to hide her disdain for Qin Chu.

"Pah, a man whose life revolves around indulgence," she thought contemptuously, "it fits him quite well indeed."

He was already too exhausted to move a muscle yesterday, and yet he demanded that Silf and Asina attend his bed, the shameless man.

Sooner or later, he is going to meet his demise in bed.

Qin Chu felt wronged, last night he really didn’t do anything with Silf and Asina, they simply laid quietly for the entire night.

"King Edson has arrived, he’s downstairs," Saye huffed before retreating into her own room.

It was as if Qin Chu was a filthy and dirty entity, and speaking more than a few words to him could contaminate her.

He arrived quite promptly, a very clever man indeed.

Qin Chu smiled subtly and, accompanied by Asina and Silf, made his way downstairs.

As soon as King Edson heard the footsteps, he immediately stood up straight in the lobby, a wide smile on his face, surrounded by Princesses Miluo, Fini, Selma, and Suna.

The four princesses were clearly meticulously adorned, dazzling like jewels upon first glance.

After exchanging cursory pleasantries, they sat down. Knowing that Qin Chu needed more rest in his current condition, King Edson didn’t waste time and got straight to the point, "Mr. Brave, thanks to your help before, the Kingdom has suffered losses but thankfully not many lives were lost."

"On behalf of millions of citizens of the Kingdom, I thank you for your dedication."

"As a token of gratitude, I wish to establish a church of the Holy Church within the Kingdom, supported by the Kingdom’s finance."

"Additionally, the Holy Church will become the only legal church in the entire Kingdom, with all other churches outside of it deemed illegal."

"All income and donations received by the Holy Church will be sent to the headquarters of the Church Court."

Qin Chu laughed. This was precisely the effect he wanted; the Holy Light Goddess suddenly gained millions of followers.

After enduring the terror of last night, these people’s faith was at its strongest, and this faith would greatly aid in the recovery of the Holy Light Goddess.

"Furthermore, I wish to bestow upon you the title of prince of the Kingdom, Mr. Brave. What say you?"

"It is my honor," Qin Chu nodded slightly, his smile unwavering, "King Edson, once the Kingdom’s church is established, I hope you would take on the role of honorary Archbishop. What say you?"

Edson also laughed, "As a devout believer of the Goddess, it would be my greatest honor."

Dealing with an intelligent person is so straightforward. Whether it’s the prince of the Kingdom or the Archbishop of the Holy Church, to Qin Chu and King Edson, it’s nothing but an honorary title.

Yet this title also symbolizes the link between the two.

Behind Qin Chu now stands the support of the Exeter Kingdom, and behind King Edson, a backer in the Holy Church.

This is a true win-win situation.

...

Elsewhere.

Demon King City.

Within the secrecy of his chamber, Demon King Nage exhaled deeply, his brow tightly furrowed.

All three puppets were dead.

He could feel that the connection with the three puppets had been severed.

The outcome surprised him.

When he snatched Diaberlic’s corpse from the Second Generation Brave Warrior, he had sensed Qin Chu’s strength. Decent, but insignificant as an ant before him.

Aileen was already strong, and after absorbing her younger sister’s blood, her power surged, no less formidable than long-renowned experts like Zimmerman.

Though slightly inferior in combat capability to the original Diaberlic, the three puppets were verging on Level 90.

In Demon King Nage’s calculations, Aileen, plus the three puppets, should have easily overwhelmed Qin Chu. Yet, he did not expect such an outcome.

It seems there was an error in assessing the Hero’s strength; his rate of improvement was simply too preposterous. Demon King Nage did order some intelligence gathering on the Hero, but unfortunately, demons have never placed much emphasis on intelligence.

Despite assigning a few sons to the task, the typical response was dismissive: the Hero? Not a big deal, I could squash him with one hand.

"Seems like the fellow has a talent even superior to yours, eh?" Demon King Nage wore a weird smile as he deliberately provoked the other being in his mind, a rather amusing pastime in his otherwise mundane existence.

"Foolish," came the expected reply from another voice within Demon King Nage, "I simply don’t want to be too ostentatious, so I’ve been suppressing my own strength. Otherwise, my rate of improvement would undoubtedly surpass his."

Despite being high-level experts already, such a bizarre sense of competition was still intense.

"In any case, we’ve failed this time. Shall we take action ourselves?" Demon King Nage raised an eyebrow, his voice chillingly dark.

"You may try!"
