Chapter 78: Chapter 65: I’ll Just Hold It, No Moving Around (5000 words for monthly pass)_2

Countless times, Catherine had asked herself.

Is this really okay?

She did not know, but she always felt as if what lay before her was an abyss whose bottom she could not see, and she was slowly being enveloped by a gloomy darkness, swallowed by a dim whirlpool.

Catherine even wished that when Qin Chu faced her, he would be a little angrier, a little more upset, a bit more violent, just like those hallucinations she previously had, ruthlessly forcing her.

That way, at least she would not need to keep struggling in this agony.

But, what she did not expect was that Qin Chu actually did not get angry at all, and he was even so gentle towards her.

He was only sad when he called out Jie Luo’s name, he was even caring about her, hoping she would not drink too much for fear of harming her body... He just hugged her.

And yet, this man was the very one she was to seduce and eventually kill, his blood and life to be used to resurrect Jie Luo...

Before this, Catherine had never had any doubts about the plan.

But at this moment, Catherine suddenly felt a strong resistance and extreme loathing towards herself.

From any perspective, she was actually a bad woman, a very, very bad woman...

If one day she died, she would surely go to Hell.

She quietly watched Qin Chu’s figure, feeling that the more she watched, the more pleasing he became. If it had not been for meeting Jie Luo earlier, would she definitely have fallen for this man who could only be considered a big boy to her?

She definitely would have.

But...

Catherine’s gaze, amid struggle, became resolute as she reaffirmed her will.

Although he was a very good man...

Although this man had no original ties to the Sky Dome Continent, merely summoned to this world by force, yet still striving to save it;

Although this man could become the Savior, saving billions of lives on the Sky Dome Continent...

But...

He was the most essential ingredient for resurrecting Jie Luo.

Just for that reason alone, he had to be killed.

Catherine’s gaze, through the turmoil, turned cold, her ultimate goal never changing.

Even though this was unfair to Qin Chu, for the sake of Jie Luo, she could only apologize to him.

But why does my heart hurt?

Shaking her head, Catherine’s gaze once again sought Qin Chu. She should be taking the initiative to seduce Qin Chu as per the plan made by Rose Vesper, make Qin Chu obsessed with her body, make him unable to extricate himself, to readily assassinate him after he had subdued the Demon.

However, seduction was just too difficult for Catherine.

She could fight Demons, even serve as a teacher instructing the Hero, but seduction was simply too much to ask of her.

Looking down at her gown, its plunging neckline and the form-fitting design accentuating her curves to the fullest, yet even so, Qin Chu seemed to have no reaction, just hugged her, then left her alone to practice, and Catherine truly did not know what she should do to elicit a reaction from Qin Chu.

Catherine pouted in frustration, supporting her chin with her right hand, sitting beside the training field, silently watching Qin Chu train, preparing to slowly ponder how to seduce this blockhead.

This guy, isn’t he just a blockhead?

She had already dressed so provocatively, and even uttered words like "do whatever you want with me," yet he remained indifferent?

A hug was enough?

He had no other thoughts?

Her other hand idly fanning in front of her, she always felt that the temperature inside the training ground was a bit high. Watching Qin Chu, she felt like her own body temperature was starting to rise.

Even without the influence of Shaye’s Power, Catherine instinctively wanted to get close to Qin Chu, even if just for another hug, one more kiss...

She hoped Qin Chu would treat her a little better, to get closer to him, but she did not know how to bridge the distance between them – her body was the only thing she could think of.

As time ticked by, that inner feeling of distress and heat grew more and more intense... If seduction had no effect on this man, then should she simply take the initiative?

The idea suddenly surged in Catherine’s mind, startling her.

She quickly suppressed the thought.

It was simply too shameless.

The first time, she could claim she was drunk, emotionally unstable.

Dressed seductively, letting Qin Chu approach her, she could argue she was coerced, or even just part of the plan for resurrecting Jie Luo, a necessary step.

But, to actively seek pleasure, that was something Catherine simply could not do.

It felt like such an advance would be a betrayal to Jie Luo, infidelity.

In her mind, she still maintained a last bit of self-respect.

She did not want to lose this self-respect, her last light, her last hope.

And what Qin Chu had to do was to obliterate that very last bit of Catherine’s self-respect, bit by bit.
