Chapter 75: Chapter 63: You Wouldn’t Want to... (Vote for Monthly Pass)

"Catherine, you have truly disappointed me."

In the Holy Daughter’s boudoir, Rose Vesper couldn’t control her temper and scolded Catherine harshly.

Within the Hero Team, Rose Vesper had always played the role of Aileen and Aili’s gentle older sister, and everyone’s obedient younger sister, always polite to everyone with a voice that was gentle and subtly enchanting. But this time, she really couldn’t hold back. Her expression was extremely serious, and her body was trembling uncontrollably from her effort to restrain her anger.

Catherine knew she had made a very serious mistake and hung her head low, taking the scolding from her much younger sister without a word in protest.

"Because of what you did, our plan almost completely fell apart. Can’t you think things through when you act? Please, can’t you at least think about the consequences?" Rose Vesper rubbed her temples, feeling like her head was splitting.

She was truly exasperated.

Ever since Second Generation Brave Warrior Qin Chu had been summoned to Sky Dome Continent, Rose Vesper felt she hadn’t had a single day of peace.

She had made a fool of herself during the welcoming banquet.

Angelica, whom she once casually ordered around, bullied, and humiliated, had unbelievably turned the tables to become the master.

Thieves had struck her home, stealing all notebooks and diaries that held her secrets, leaving her penniless and even her most important seven oracles had vanished without a trace.

When she intended to use Angelica’s influence over Qin Chu and arranged for her abduction, both nuns involved were killed, and Qin Chu even used the situation to break Angelica’s seal...

Ever since Qin Chu’s arrival, it seemed as if fate itself was conspiring against her.

Every action she planned, no matter how certain of success she was, would fall apart due to various unforeseen chaotic reasons.

This had already been driving Rose Vesper to distraction and now Catherine had caused such trouble, almost ruining all the arrangements.

At that point, even the usually calm Rose Vesper couldn’t take it anymore. After Qin Chu and Augustus had left, she summoned Catherine directly to her room; she had to sternly warn her.

This time, they might have narrowly escaped disaster, but if Catherine didn’t change her ways, similar incidents were bound to recur. Next time, they might not be so lucky.

Catherine, who had been silently listening to Rose Vesper’s scolding without uttering a word, finally couldn’t bear it and timidly lifted her head to mumble softly, "This affected our entire plan? Isn’t that an exaggeration?"

Catherine’s attitude only made Rose Vesper more irritated. This foolish woman still hadn’t realized how troublesome the mess she created was.

How on earth did such an idiot get into the Hero Team?

Rose Vesper felt an urge to smash something, but she held back, instead feeling a cramp-like pain in her stomach:

"Please, my dear sister, can you try to think it through?"

"Don’t you realize what you’ve done? After Qin Chu carried you back from the tavern, drunk out of your mind, you actually forced yourself on the Hero. Don’t you understand the impact this could have on the Hero’s reputation? He would become the laughingstock of everyone, and this incident alone could make Qin Chu resent you."

"If it were just that, it might be forgivable, but you foolishly thought it was Qin Chu who took advantage of you while you were drunk. You grabbed a weapon and tried to kill Qin Chu?"

"In his heart, his impression of you must have hit rock bottom, and along with it, his opinion of all the members of the Hero Team will lower. This will make our future attempts at assassinating Qin Chu even more difficult and, by association, the plan to revive Jie Luo will also be compromised."

"This is something so obvious that anyone would have considered it. Why can you just not remember it?"

To think she had once believed Catherine to be intelligent; now, it seemed she was nothing but a complete fool.

Catherine was at a loss... Jie Luo?

Who was Jie Luo?

In an instant, Catherine couldn’t even recall what that name signified; she was aware that she and Rose Vesper had prepared a very important plan targeting Qin Chu, yet she had forgotten the real purpose of this plan.

Her facial expression was one of confusion, dazed, foolishly looking at Rose Vesper...

The City Beauty Love concoction the Witch had modified was far more powerful than the genuine article, one bottle exceeding the potency of three. After the initial intense stimulation subsided, Catherine gradually regained composure, and the effects of the City Beauty Love began to manifest.

The next instant, memories related to Lord Jie Luo flooded into her mind like a swarm.

Catherine’s body suddenly shivered, her face turning pale. She remembered—Lord Jie Luo was the man she loved deeply; their plan was formulated for his resurrection, and her interaction with Qin Chu was for the future opportunity to assassinate him and resurrect Lord Jie Luo...

Why had she forgotten something so important?

It must have been because her purity had been defiled by that bastard Qin Chu, the shock was too great. Perhaps subconsciously, she felt unworthy of Lord Jie Luo as a tainted woman, not deserving to stay by his side. Unable to face this reality, she had forgotten her goal.

It had to be that!

Under Rose Vesper’s scolding, she finally recalled the things she had once forgotten, Catherine’s body trembling continuously.

Seeing Catherine’s state, Rose Vesper felt her words might have been too harsh and softened her tone, "It’s good that you understand the seriousness now. Remember, such a thing must never happen again. Qin Chu forgave you this time for my sake, but we can’t be sure about the next time."

Hehe, that guy Qin Chu, after seeing the Pope’s adamant attitude that he couldn’t change, merely pleaded with Qin Chu briefly, and he immediately spoke up for her, thankfully preserving Catherine’s titles of Hero Team and Hero Teacher.

That man must be secretly in love with her.

Unfortunately, his feelings were unrequited. She wouldn’t settle like Catherine did. That man wasn’t even worthy to carry Lord Jie Luo’s shoes.

That might be the only consoling point amid all the bad news.

If the other women in the Hero Team, Catherine, Aileen, Aili, Asina, Silf couldn’t get a hold of Qin Chu, in the end, she, Rose Vesper, might have to step in. Her Charm was not on the same level as those other foolish women.

A small sense of pride grew in Rose Vesper’s heart.

Catherine was unaware of Rose Vesper’s thoughts; she was deeply chastising herself for her actions, for actually forgetting about Lord Jie Luo:

"I will quit drinking."

"It’s good that you have this determination. There is still a chance for remediation." Rose Vesper pondered, her fingers caressing the armrest of the chair, contemplating how to restore the image of the Hero Team members in Qin Chu’s heart.

"Your relationship with Qin Chu can’t be changed, but since that’s the case, we might as well use it. You should seduce Qin Chu more, you’ve already been with him once, if he needs it, do it again; at least make Qin Chu no longer reject you. If you could make Qin Chu fall for you, that would be ideal."

Speaking of this, Rose Vesper felt anger bubbling within her.

If it had indeed been Qin Chu taking advantage of Catherine’s drunken state, it would have been easy to deal with. She could just tell him: You wouldn’t want this to get out, right? You don’t want to ruin your reputation, do you? You don’t want people to think a Hero is scum, do you?

Then, she could force the two together, which would make future plan implementations much easier.

And Catherine, being broken, had no right to stay by Lord Jie Luo’s side, eliminating a powerful rival.

She had been secretly pleased about this, but who would have thought that there would be a one hundred eighty-degree twist, completely ruining her plans.

Suppressing the irritation in her heart, Rose Vesper continued, "Men, who isn’t lustful?"

"Qin Chu is no exception. You are very desirable, and if you’re willing to lower your pride, Angelica absolutely can’t compare to you."

Catherine was frowning deeply, her face unwilling, to seduce Qin Chu, even make him obsessed with her body?

"Wouldn’t I be just like a prostitute then?"

Seeing Catherine still struggling, Rose Vesper continued to persuade gently, her voice ethereal and light, seemingly coming from nowhere:

"Catherine, don’t you want Lord Jie Luo to be resurrected? I believe Lord Jie Luo would be moved by your sacrifice."

"All your sacrifices are for Lord Jie Luo!"

"You wouldn’t want your pure body to become worthless, would you?"
