Chapter 85: Chapter 70 I’m Ready to Explore the Void Again (3 updates today, asking for monthly tickets and recommendations)

Miss Yekaterina collected herself neatly, her clothes clean and tidy. It seemed as though she wanted to maintain her dignity by this means, regardless of how tormented she felt inside, unwilling to let herself fall into disarray.

But these days, she had already been rejected several times. The dual torment eventually had a severe effect on Miss Yekaterina; she tried to remain stubborn, yet her eyes betrayed confusion, madness, agony, and pain!

Miss Yekaterina could feel that something was not right with her current situation; her body, her thoughts, all seemed to be influenced by some kind of power.

Instinct told Miss Yekaterina that she ought to leave the palace immediately, the farther from Qin Chu, the better. This man seemed to possess some terrifying magic power, constantly luring her to come closer, and fall.

However, her body rejected her reason, she couldn’t take the steps to leave the palace, and even uncontrollably moved to Qin Chu’s bedroom door, breathing in Qin Chu’s scent, waiting for his appearance.

She didn’t even know what she would say to Qin Chu, or what she could do after seeing him.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it was difficult to affect a woman with such a firm will as Miss Yekaterina to this extent; it would only increase the level of admiration.

But Qin Chu shamelessly chose a "planned play," which resulted in the continuous buildup of tension within Miss Yekaterina’s body, becoming more and more exaggerated, increasingly uncontrollable.

"Ah, Mr. Brave, I suddenly remembered that we have other important tasks. We’ll take our leave now," Charles said with a smile.

He was smart, creating a light bulb, but it was an unethical act.

Winking at Qin Chu, Charles left with his subordinates.

After all these nuisances had left, Miss Yekaterina could no longer restrain herself and suddenly pounced forward, wrapping her arms around Qin Chu.

Her delicate cherry lips moved towards Qin Chu’s mouth.

She didn’t want to abandon her last bit of self-respect, and was unwilling to beg Qin Chu pitifully, so she chose to express herself through actions instead of words.

But before Miss Yekaterina’s lips could touch Qin Chu’s, she suddenly felt something blocking her mouth. Looking down, it was Qin Chu’s finger.

The dual torment of body and soul had become unbearable for Miss Yekaterina; her beautiful face was covered in confusion, seemingly asking Qin Chu what he was doing?

Qin Chu’s voice was as deep and unchanging, only the corners of his mouth curving into a hint of a smile: "Miss Yekaterina..."

"Do you still remember Jie Luo?"

That voice was like the whisper of a demon.

Sinister and terrifying.

On hearing the name Jie Luo again, Miss Yekaterina’s body violently trembled, and her complexion instantly turned pale.

Ah...

She remembered.

Jie Luo!

Her most beloved!

Surely it was Jie Luo she loved the most, but why were her thoughts now filled with Qin Chu? Why did she find Qin Chu more and more pleasant to look at, more and more likable?

The madness of the previous nights had taken root in the depths of Miss Yekaterina’s soul, making it unforgettable.

That’s right, she had almost forgotten. She had agreed with Rose Vesper to use Qin Chu, and after squeezing all value from him, they would kill him to revive Jie Luo.

How could she have forgotten such an important matter?

Why did she now feel so disgusted when she thought about this plan, a strong sense of self-loathing torturing Miss Yekaterina’s will. She didn’t want to continue with this plan any longer.

Looking at Miss Yekaterina’s pale face, filled with confusion, Qin Chu delivered the fatal blow:

"Sorry, I don’t like my women’s heart to be occupied by another man."

"Your lips, your body, should be reserved for the person you love."

Gently yet decisively, Qin Chu pushed Miss Yekaterina away from him and returned to his bedroom without looking back, leaving her to stand there, stunned, with tears continuously rolling down her cheeks.

She really wanted to tell Qin Chu that she loved him now as well.

It hurt so much, it was truly agonizing.

She could no longer discern whom she truly loved; she was supposed to be deeply in love with Jie Luo, yet for some reason, she was starting to forget what Jie Luo looked like.

Could she actually have feelings for two men at the same time? This thought disgusted Miss Yekaterina immensely.

I am indeed a bad woman!

She might not last through the night.

On the other side, Charles and his group had not gone far, after all, they still bore the responsibility of protecting Mr. Brave.

But human nature is inherently curious, and they simply hid around a corner where Qin Chu and Yekaterina couldn’t see them, sneaking peeks at the scene from this side.

When they saw Qin Chu ruthlessly reject Yekaterina, everyone was stunned and showed shock on their faces.

"By the Holy Light Goddess above, the Hero actually rejected Yekaterina?"

"It’s such a waste, wasting is a shameful thing, after all, if it’s just about figure and looks, Miss Yekaterina is... heh, deadly, isn’t she?"

"Especially those legs..."

"Pah, you bunch of dirty-minded fools, do you really not know who Yekaterina is? Stop thinking about those useless things. First, think about whether your bodies are stronger than the Fierce Giant Ape... If it were me, I would also steer clear."

At these words, everyone deeply agreed.

After all, that’s the Crimson Valkyrie.

Even if there really was that opportunity, it’s still hard to say who would tire out whom.

"Ah ha, Qin Chu, you really are a vicious person, tormenting Yekaterina like this..." Shaye criticized Qin Chu from inside the bedroom, her tone somewhat annoyed, clearly very dissatisfied with the addition of another ghost beside Qin Chu.

Her one-of-a-kind status had disappeared.

"Not only do you want to torment her body, but also humiliate her soul? Really, I suggest again, stop being a hero, you should become a Witch instead, it suits you better."

Witch? Magic Girl? No way, Magic Girls end up losing their heads.

Qin Chu ignored Shaye’s sarcasm and watched as she still floated in midair, sulking; he smiled, "Don’t worry, no matter what happens, you are the most important companion by my side."

Sure, Angelica is the most trusted person, but Shaye isn’t human.

Qin Chu had only casually made a remark, but it seemed to have dealt a critical blow to Shaye.

All one could see was that Shaye’s spirit shook violently for a moment, almost disintegrating instantly. A few seconds later, her spirit had finally reconstituted itself, her eyes were hazy, her gaze wandering everywhere and avoiding Qin Chu, her pink lips uttering a tone of scorn:

"Huh? What nonsense are you spouting?"

"You really know how to glorify yourself, huh? Who is your most important partner? Dream on. If I hadn’t been bound by your damn Heavenly Lock, linking our lives together, if it wasn’t for an accident during the Time Retrospection that caused me to only be able to possess your body, if there were a way to break free, I would have left long ago. Who cares about you? Stop dreaming... Who’s beside you, whether there are a few more ghosts, what’s that to me? Do you think I care? Don’t just one-sidedly think I consider you a companion. I never did, and I definitely never will. I haven’t forgotten the two times you sealed me. If I weren’t immortal, you would have probably just killed me directly instead of sealing me, right? I hold grudges..."

Shaye had uttered the longest speech since the Time Retrospection, and thankfully, since she was a spirit who didn’t need to breathe, otherwise she would surely have suffocated.

And thankfully, she didn’t have a real body, or else one would surely see a red-faced figure.

But even so, Shaye felt her body inexplicably burning hot.

Qin Chu’s smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he quietly watched Shaye... this Witch actually had a tsundere side... but tsundere is out of fashion these days, now what’s popular is the type that progresses an entire season in one episode.

But it couldn’t override the fact that Shaye had a good foundation and was attractive; her tsundere appearance had a certain charm.

The smile on Qin Chu’s face made Shaye feel even more ashamed, and she awkwardly changed the subject, gesturing with her mouth toward the ghost of Antia by the window: "Right, what exactly is going on with this?"

Ever since she arrived in the bedroom, Antia had left Qin Chu’s shoulder. This woman was so quietly terrifying... she hadn’t said a word, hadn’t done anything, just sitting quietly on the windowsill, staring out at the world, with no one knowing what she was thinking.

"Do you know Antia?"

"The strongest Valkyrie from a thousand years ago, the National Guardian Valkyrie Antia, mentioned by Angelica?"

Qin Chu nodded and briefly shared the last few seconds of his experience with Shaye.

Shaye was slightly silent. It was good that Antia hadn’t harmed Qin Chu, but the fact that she wanted to take something from Qin Chu made Shaye cautious. Currently, Antia was not taking action, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t in the future.

"Is it okay to let her follow us like this?" Shaye frowned and asked, "After all, with her strength, if she really wanted to make a move on you, it would be very dangerous for both of us added together."

Wanting to expel Antia was also simple; they just needed to find Saint Monica and Augustus. Although ghosts were mysterious, they were still observable by beings of such level; they just didn’t maintain the state to perceive ghosts at all times.

"Let’s leave it like this for now, at least I don’t sense any hostility at the moment." The same experience caused Qin Chu to feel some pity for Antia, but he would not allow her presence solely out of pity.

Antia was powerful and could serve as a strong bodyguard by his side.

Most importantly, Antia seemed to know something that neither Qin Chu nor Shaye knew, things that even related to Qin Chu’s own body.

"Shaye, do you know about the Light Seed and the Life Seed?"

Shaye simply responded, "I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it..."

As expected, that was the answer.

Qin Chu sighed softly:

"Shaye, I’m prepared to explore the Void once more!"
