Chapter 64: Chapter 56 Unclean (2)

```

Hat? She never wears one!

Casually tossing the hat aside, she looked around at the room decor. This seemed to be Qin Chu’s room?

How did she end up in Qin Chu’s room? And furthermore, why was she lying on the hard ground?

Her mind was truly muddled. Catherine didn’t dwell on this issue, deciding to go rinse her mouth and wash her face to try to clear her head.

However, as soon as she started to get up, Catherine sharply inhaled.

Hiss...

Her body felt as if it was about to fall apart, aching all over.

Her legs were also weak and powerless, and not bothering to put on shoes, she tread barefoot on the cold floor, wobbling towards the bathroom.

Splashing a handful of cold water on her face and thoroughly rinsing her mouth seemed to freshen her up a bit.

But the rolling in her stomach and the squirming in her throat eventually became unbearable for Catherine, and she vomited, filling the bathroom with an unpleasant smell.

Following that were several moments of dry heaving, which lasted a long time. Catherine finally began to recover somewhat.

Her chaotic mind was slowly regaining normal thoughts!

Looking up at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes conveyed exhaustion and weariness, but her skin, dripping with water droplets, seemed even more translucent and delicate than before.

However, Catherine quickly noticed something unusual. She lifted her chin to reveal her slender neck, and in the mirror, several clear marks were reflected on it...

Touching them with her fingers, Catherine’s expression became very strange. What were these marks that looked somewhat like...

Kiss marks?

Which bastard took advantage of me while I was drunk and asleep yesterday night to cop a feel?

Catherine’s temper flared instantly. How dare someone steal a kiss from her, did they not value their life?

And this is Qin Chu’s room... could it have been that bastard Qin Chu?

I thought he was just some spineless idiot when we first met, but who knew he would be so bold?

Although she couldn’t really kill him since they still needed to revive Jie Luo, a good lesson was still feasible, right?

Enraged, Catherine wanted to storm out and teach Qin Chu a lesson, but as she lifted her foot, her legs gave out, and the pain almost made her collapse. That’s when she carefully examined her whole body.

Her body was completely undressed, bearing traces all over.

The reflection in the mirror suddenly became deathly pale.

Her body was shivering uncontrollably, and fragmented memories started surfacing in her mind. These images struck Catherine with tremendous fear, and she rushed towards the bed as if she had gone mad.

There, on the ground, was the Armor she had worn the day before.

Catherine’s athletic body seemed to have lost all its strength in that instant, and she collapsed to the ground, trembling.

The shock of this sight made even more memories flood back to her.

She remembered embracing Qin Chu in her drunken stupor.

She remembered...

She remembered...

All her most precious things had been taken by that man, Qin Chu.

She could only recall Qin Chu’s humiliating torment, yet she couldn’t remember that it was she who dragged Qin Chu into the room.

She was deeply in love with Jie Luo, and beyond him, her heart could not accommodate any other man. Even the other members of the Hero Team were merely brothers to her, with no mix of romantic feelings.

She meant to give Jie Luo the very best of herself, but now, all that was left was a broken body.

In the future, even if Jie Luo was truly revived, how could she face him? What right did she have to stay by his side?

She was no longer pure!

Catherine’s Spirit was violently assaulted.

She, as a person, was almost completely shattered.

Her eyes widened, lifeless, the pupils devoid of light, only a hopeless void remaining, as if the whole world had lost its color.

To her, all that remained was a hellish darkness.

Her body shook with a nervous tremor, her stomach convulsing with pain. Her heart felt as if a chunk had been scooped out, the physical agony no match for the despair deep within. Two crystal clear tear trails rolled down from the corners of her eyes, over her pale cheeks.

She felt as if her soul had long since dissipated, and at that moment, all that remained was an empty shell.

She was filled with hatred.

```

She hated herself for not having the courage to reveal her feelings while Jie Luo was still alive.

She hated.

Why was she so fond of alcohol? If she hadn’t been drunk, Qin Chu, that bastard, wouldn’t have taken advantage of her vulnerability.

She sat on the ground like a stiff puppet, motionless. It was unclear how much time had passed when Catherine, like a madwoman, violently tore at her own long hair with both hands.

"Ahhhhhhhh..."

From her mouth came the most piercing wail.

Her flame-like crimson hair broke strand by strand until the ground was covered with it.

She was torturing herself, seemingly trying to use this pain to cover up the memories that drove her to despair.

But it wasn’t enough, not nearly enough.

Catherine, who had lost all her usual dignified and valiant demeanor, now seemed like a madwoman. Disheveled, she rose from the ground and braced the walls with both hands, before banging her forehead against it with a thud.

Thud... thud... thud...

The whole room trembled, cracks swiftly appeared on the wall, and bits of plaster sprinkled down. The entire house seemed like it couldn’t bear the Valkyrie’s blows and was about to collapse.

If anyone could see Catherine now, they would doubt that this madwoman was really the Valkyrie.

Time was indiscernible, but eventually, Catherine stopped her headlong assault on the wall. She wanted to knock herself out, to wake up and find that everything was just a nightmare.

But she couldn’t faint. Each time she hit the wall, she only became more lucid, making her even more acutely aware of her own filth.

It hurt so much, why did it hurt so much!

Sobbing, wailing, trembling... her arms wrapped tightly around herself, yet she could only feel the bone-chilling cold.

After an indefinite amount of time, Catherine silently made her way to the bathroom, vigorously scrubbing her body.

Then she picked up the armor and underwear that had fallen to the floor, one piece at a time, and put them on.

With hands encased in metal gloves, she clenched the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword that signified the glory of the Crimson Valkyrie, the tip dragging alongside her on the ground, scraping with a grating sound.

A trail of sparks followed, cleanly dividing the floor in two.

Her eyes were still hollow, and her once bright red pupils had darkened to a lusterless crimson.

She was tainted.

The stains on her body could be washed away, but the filth from being violated would remain forever.

No matter how desperately Catherine scrubbed her body, she could not return to who she was before.

The dream of marrying Jie Luo and becoming his bride had been utterly shattered. To let this tainted body become Jie Luo’s wife, to let Jie Luo touch her impurity, would be a desecration of him.

Catherine even felt that continuing to live in this world was a disgrace; every breath, every heartbeat brought excruciating pain.

She thought of death.

She had planned to pierce her own stomach with the Flame Extreme, ending her life.

But before suicide, there was one thing she had to do:

Kill Qin Chu!

It was that damn Qin Chu who had pushed her into the Abyss of despair while she was drunk. She intended to make Qin Chu pay with his life.

In extreme pain and despair, she had even forgotten that Qin Chu was the most important pawn in their plan, that they needed to use Qin Chu’s strength to combat terrifying demons. Otherwise, even if Jie Luo was to be revived, he would still be no match for the Eternal Monarch Nag and would be torn to shreds as before.

She had forgotten even more that she and Rose Vesper had conspired to use Qin Chu and then, once done, kill him from behind and drain his blood—an utterly shameless plan.

Hatred had filled her chest.

Thud.

In Qin Chu’s bedroom, the door was shattered into pieces.

The whole room, the interior walls damaged and cracked from Catherine’s head-butts, the door shattered, the floor cleft by the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword, was close to becoming a dilapidated building.

Catherine searched for Qin Chu, but there was no one else in the palace.

Qin Chu had disappeared without a trace, and even the guards who were supposed to protect him were gone without a sign.

Had he run away knowing she would seek revenge?

But where could you possibly run?

Even if you fled to the ends of the earth, I would tear you to pieces!
