Chapter 714: Chapter 501: It hurts, bear with it (Happy New Year to everyone on the first day of the Lunar New Year!)_2

But Atreus’s response was exceptionally straightforward, "I accept."

The Demon Princess was very clear about her current situation; whether she could survive was entirely up to Qin Chu.

Once dead, that would be the end of everything.

Now, she could only bet that Qin Chu wouldn’t turn her into a puppet-like thrall. If she won the bet, she’d have a chance to live and to seek revenge. If she lost, it wouldn’t be much different from being dead.

Since death was inevitable either way, why not take a chance when there was still an opportunity?

Of course, that’s easy to say, but truly few could be so nonchalant about it. Just this alone made Qin Chu hold Atreus in some esteem. He turned his head to glance at Adelina, who was lying on his shoulder, and nodded.

He then spread his arms, and cast the Water Healing Technique first on Atreus.

Ever since he had mastered the Water God Authority, using Water Magic had become particularly effortless for Qin Chu.

Water Magic also had some healing capabilities; although not as effective as Holy Light Magic, it could slightly restore...or rather, slightly prolong the time Atreus could hold on.

At least it could prevent Atreus from dying too quickly.

After doing these things, Adelina floated out from behind Qin Chu, and pressed a tiny hand upon Atreus’s forehead.

Atreus knew that her will was about to be modified, and the best outcome was that she would never be able to escape Qin Chu’s control in the future. Even so, she did not regret her decision.

Invisible fluctuations began to spread.

Adelina’s small form started to tremble gradually. With her current soul strength, barely invoking the Authority of Pride was no easy task, and this Pride Witch was also under tremendous pressure.

Her already half-transparent form became even more insubstantial.

Forcing the modification and distortion of a soul was, undoubtedly, a very painful affair for the recipient.

But Atreus maintained an almost indifferent expression on her face from beginning to end. She neither screamed in agony nor showed the slightest resistance. Only her body involuntarily convulsed.

The will of loyalty towards Qin Chu was reinforced every second.

The whole process lasted for a good ten minutes or more. As Adelina removed her hand from Atreus’s forehead, Atreus’s body seemed not yet to have recovered from the pain, still twitching as if electrocuted.

Adelina, a pure Soul Body, appeared as if she were exhausted with sweat all over. She raised her little hand to wipe away non-existent sweat from her forehead and looked towards Qin Chu.

At this moment, the Pride Witch looked visibly fatigued, her body almost fully transparent. She didn’t even have the energy to speak, just nodded at Qin Chu before her Soul Body dove straight into Qin Chu, retreating for recuperation as she was too tired.

Atreus was still gasping on the ground, and it took a long while for her to seem somewhat recovered, her hollow eyes gradually regaining some liveliness.

Despite her eyes still being filled with hate, when her gaze finally shifted to Qin Chu, the hatred gradually dissipated, turning into admiration and reverence.

"Master..."

Atreus was very aware of what had happened to her, including the modification of her will. She understood all too well that her loyalty to Qin Chu had been forcibly changed by the Witch who had just appeared.

Yet, in her heart, there was no resistance to this outcome. It seemed unquestionably right to be loyal to Qin Chu.

Qin Chu was the master she was destined to serve with all her might for the rest of her life.

The thought of struggling to be free and no longer loyal to Qin Chu never arose in the depths of her heart. She even felt happy that Qin Chu was her master and that she must serve him.

This twist was almost irreversible unless one day Atreus could surpass both the Pride Witch and even Qin Chu, which was an almost impossible scenario for Atreus.

Such was the terrifying power of the Pride Witch.

A smile appeared on Qin Chu’s face; he knew Adelina had succeeded completely.

"Very good, Adelina. I will heal you now," Qin Chu nodded slightly, his voice grave, "This process might be quite painful for you."

"It will hurt. Try to endure it."

Atreus nodded vigorously, the admiration in her eyes growing even more intense.

Healing the Demon Princess was no easy task.

Her innate nature as a demon rendered the most effective Holy Light Magic, known for its healing, completely ineffective.

Amongst abilities focused on recovery, Qin Chu’s Holy Healing, Holy Sense Authority, could bring you back from the brink of death with a single breath.

Despite its name, Holy Sense Authority did not belong to Holy Light Magic.

It was a Special Authority unique to Qin Chu himself.

And this Authority also meant that Qin Chu’s flesh and blood possessed curative properties to a certain extent, especially since his body had assimilated the Evil God Heart. Even though he had not entirely digested the Evil God’s leg, it directly turned Qin Chu’s blood, muscles, and bones into a panacea.

With this in mind, Qin Chu no longer hesitated.

He quickly sliced open his right index finger and, with a drop of crimson blood, stretched it out towards Atreus, "Take it in your mouth."

Due to her deep loyalty to Qin Chu, Atreus didn’t have the slightest doubt about his actions and immediately opened her lips to take Qin Chu’s finger into her mouth.

The bright red blood bead slowly trickled down her throat, carrying a faintly sweet and fishy taste.

It’s a pity that this state did not last long. The effects of the Holy Sense Authority were too exaggerated; the minor wound closed within two seconds, and Atreus probably only swallowed one or maybe two drops of blood.

Although it wasn’t much, the effect seemed quite remarkable.

Right after Qin Chu withdrew his finger, the blood immediately took effect within Atreus’s body.

The Demon Princess’s originally fair skin turned a bright red as if she were suffering from a high fever, her body slowly convulsing and spasming.

The previously cracked traces on her body’s surface were slowly healing.

Even the injured shoulders of both arms, where flesh had once been torn, were slowly regrowing.

The pace was simply too slow; looking at this rate, it would take Atreus several days just to recover enough to walk normally, and Qin Chu did not have the time to waste here.

Moreover, the quantity of one or two drops of blood was way too little and would likely be insufficient to support a full recovery for Atreus—the energy contained within the blood was about to be completely depleted.

Glancing at his palm, Qin Chu murmured to himself internally; he did not like harming his own body, but the circumstances were special, so he figured he would just endure it.

Qin Chu sliced his right hand once more, this time cutting the palm open and holding it above Atreus’s lips.

Atreus’s lips quivered, almost greedily swallowing the falling droplets of Qin Chu’s blood.

With the addition of fresh blood, Atreus’s rate of recovery accelerated.

By the latter half of the night, her skin had almost completely returned to its original radiant and jade-like quality, and her arms had regrown up to her elbows, much slower compared to the effects of Holy Healing on Qin Chu himself.

However, this eerie ability was enough to astonish anyone, including Antia and the others, who watched with shocked expressions.

By the early hours of the next morning, Atreus’s arms were fully restored.

Although her strength had not returned to its peak, she already possessed a considerable fighting capability.

At this point, Qin Chu finally retracted his hand, his palm wound healing on its own. Glancing at Atreus, Qin Chu’s brows furrowed unconsciously.

Atreus had avoided death, but her condition seemed somewhat dire—not because of weakness... but because of Qin Chu’s blood.

Qin Chu’s fresh blood had pulled Atreus out of hell, but it also contained a large amount of Evil God’s Blood.

The Evil God’s Blood did no harm to Qin Chu but served as both a healing elixir and a horrific poison for Atreus.

Her hands remained as delicate as ever, her thighs and chest retained their original smoothness.

Only on her face... more precisely, the corner of her right eye, dark crimson threads spread like branches, feathers, or wings, diagonally upwards.

How should it be described... not ugly?

Even, there was a kind of bewitching
