Chapter 92: Chapter 76: Valkyrie’s Killing Intent (4500 Requests for Additional Recommendations)

The next morning dawned!

Qin Chu opened his eyes, and his pupils instantly turned silvery white. Despite a night of cultivation, his Fighting Energy had not advanced further. His Star Flame Fighting Energy, which had surged due to his interaction with Catherine, seemed to have compressed quite a bit after turning silver, barely breaking through the second tier.

He could feel the root system had enveloped the Fighting Element and the Demon Core. This bizarre entity, much like a parasite residing within his body, could not be expelled by Qin Chu. The only consolation was that, for the moment, it hadn’t caused him any trouble.

The roots of the sprout were drawing energy from the Demon Core and the Fighting Element, but this absorption was not plundering; it was purification. The roots absorbed impurities from the energy, processed it through the leaves, and expelled it from Qin Chu’s body, then recirculated the refined, purer energy back into the Fighting Element and the Demon Core.

Thus, although the quantity of Fighting Energy and Magic Power had decreased, their purity was higher. Of course, the specifics of how powerful this change was would only be known after experiments, and Qin Chu was still lacking a subject for this experiment.

The silver strands, resembling a goddess’s hair, continued to rest obediently on his right wrist, motionless.

Coming back to the matter at hand, he had accidentally gotten involved in the conflict among the divines, which was indeed quite unfortunate.

The goddess in the cage, maintaining the huge chains on the surface of the cage, and those twisted, weird beings were undoubtedly powerful divinities. This scale of conflict was not something a mere hero was qualified to meddle in, wasn’t it overestimating himself?

The very moment he had touched that scroll in Catherine’s boudoir, he had inevitably been swept into the vortex...

The cursed Rose Vesper had placed such a terrifying trap in his own house, tricking him when he went to retrieve an item.

...

An entire night of cultivation had left Qin Chu feeling a bit hungry. He stretched lazily, stood up, and did not wake Catherine or Angelica as he headed towards the door.

At the door, Nicholas was still faithfully performing his duty.

"Mr. Brave, you’re awake," Nicholas greeted Qin Chu, his eyes filled with envy—after all, Mr. Brave had had another intimate exchange with the Crimson Valkyrie last night, otherwise, he wouldn’t be standing out in the cold.

Speaking of which, Mr. Brave’s Physical Strength is really impressive; he managed to get up so early after such a long night.

"Are you planning to go out?"

"A bit hungry."

Nicholas followed behind Qin Chu, hesitating a bit before lowering his voice after careful consideration and looking around:

"Mr. Brave, whatever happened between you and the Crimson Valkyrie is one thing, but... please don’t make a move on Holy Daughter Rose Vesper."

Huh?

Do I look that obvious about making a move on the Holy Daughter?

However, what Nicholas meant by making a move probably wasn’t the same as what Qin Chu was thinking.

Nevertheless, Qin Chu was curious about Nicholas’s warning and raised an eyebrow, "Do you like the Holy Daughter?"

Nicholas’s face turned red; he frantically waved his hands: "No, no, no, Mr. Brave, please don’t joke about such things..."

While speaking, Nicholas kept a wary eye on his surroundings, as if terrified that someone might overhear, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one was around, "It’s not me, it’s the Prince."

The Prince?

Qin Chu was a bit confused; he didn’t have much impression of this person.

It took him a few seconds to react, "Ah, you mean Wozworth’s son who fell into a manure pit when he was a child?"

Nicholas’s face went pale in an instant. Good gracious, how did Mr. Brave know about the Prince falling into a manure pit as a child? He had only been here a few days; how could he be so well-informed?

"Shhh, Mr. Brave, please don’t speak like that..." Nicholas said nervously.

"In any case, just don’t make a move on the Holy Daughter. The Prince is her most ardent suitor..." Nicholas cautiously warned.

These past few days, every time Holy Daughter Rose Vesper visited, the Prince’s men would quickly appear, inquiring about what Qin Chu and the Holy Daughter discussed, what they did, whether they were alone, and for how long...

Nicholas had no desire to get involved in the conflict between the hero and the Royal Family, so he could only choose to caution Qin Chu to be careful.

"The Prince is indeed the Emperor’s most outstanding son, possessing over 70 levels of power at a young age, second only to Nadia of the Thirteen Sages among the younger generation, and almost certainly the next heir to the throne..." Nicholas carefully added, although it was not his place as a knight to speak thus, he felt he must warn Qin Chu.

The Prince... Qin Chu’s eyes narrowed, and he smiled.

It might have been Nicholas’s imagination, but he felt a chill down his spine with that smile from Mr. Brave. However, when Nicholas looked again, Qin Chu’s expression had returned to normal, as calm as ever.

He remembered now.

Lance Abshain, Wozworth’s eldest son.

The first week, Rose Vesper once sought Qin Chu’s help, complaining about being followed, only to discover that the stalker was actually the dignified Prince.
