Hero? Are You Worthy?

Chapter 97: Chapter 78: You’ve Fallen in Love with That Man (3)

"Where?" Catherine’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she hurriedly asked.

The Hero Team had been preparing to use or even assassinate their master for the sake of resurrecting the First Generation Brave. Given that, the master must be very interested in any news regarding the First Generation Brave.

She wanted to gain more of her master’s love!

Rose Vesper didn’t suspect a thing, "Ronald isn’t clear on the exact location yet, but it should be within the territory of Nag’s third daughter, the Demon Princess..."

Pausing for a moment, Rose Vesper continued, "So don’t be anxious. We have made progress in the resurrection of Jie Luo. Just be patient and make some sacrifices. Once Lord Jie Luo is resurrected, you will be the greatest contributor."

Catherine didn’t care about credit or accolades; she just needed to know the news and then tell her master.

"I understand, I will be patient," said Catherine.

Shaking her head, she continued, "Don’t worry about me losing control; I will make sure to keep myself in check."

In her mind, Rose Vesper complained, That’s exactly what I’m worried about. You almost mistook me for Qin Chu and killed me just now.

"It wasn’t to kill him that I suggested we bring Qin Chu along, but for the resurrection of Jie Luo," Catherine said quietly, maintaining her facade as the master had instructed. Rose Vesper was very clever. She couldn’t let her see through any deception.

Rose Vesper felt puzzled.

"We can’t just leave Qin Chu alone in the Imperial City..." Catherine quickly said, "Do you know? These days, too many people want to get close to Qin Chu."

"People from Wozworth, from Saint Monica, from Augustus...even Carlos from the adventurer association wants to contact Qin Chu."

Carlos is the president of the adventurer association and very powerful, only slightly less so than the three from Wozworth. His signature move, Dharma’s Sword, is said to cut through anything.

"Besides, there are a large number of Nobles and members of the Royal Family."

"You know what these people want, right? I don’t need to spell it out for you," she added.

Rose Vesper fell silent; naturally, these people had come to woo the Hero.

If they left and Qin Chu remained alone in the Imperial City, many would try to approach him. By the time they returned, Qin Chu might already have been attracted by some other beautiful woman.

It was all too likely a scenario for Qin Chu.

Thinking deeply, Rose Vesper said, "What reason should we use then? The Guard at the door..."

"Isn’t the reason simple?" Catherine scoffed, "Just say we’re taking the Hero to experience fighting Demons firsthand. Besides, do you think the Guard at the door would dare to stop us?"

...

Elsewhere, Qin Chu was leisurely walking down the street.

Passing by a pastry shop, he suddenly recognized a familiar figure.

Petite, at most one meter fifty tall, but her figure was quite voluptuous... Not in a burdensome way, but in a perfectly rounded one. A bit plump, which possesses a mysterious allure for men.

Her sky-blue, smooth-flowing hair was almost as long as she was tall, and her eyes of the same color were as beautiful as gems.

It was Nadia!

The last of the Thirteen Sages.

Ever since their last meeting at the banquet, he hadn’t seen her since.

Speaking of which, Qin Chu was also deceived by the Thirteen Sages, summoned to this world for no apparent reason. When he asked Zimmerman if he could return to Earth, Zimmerman assured him he could be sent back anytime the Demons were defeated. But once all the Demons were wiped out by Qin Chu, the Great Sage bluntly stated, I’m sorry, I lied...

Damn that old bastard, Qin Chu cursed in his mind.

Moreover, Qin Chu suspected that the scroll for resurrecting Jie Luo obtained by Rose Vesper might have been provided by the Thirteen Sages, considering the old guys always delved into all sorts of strange and eerie things.

Qin Chu entered the cake shop, heading straight to sit opposite Nadia.

Nicholas stayed outside the shop; he wasn’t so tactless as to disturb Mr. Brave and Nadia’s private mealtime.

The shop was full of customers, but none dared to approach Nadia. The cold aura she exuded unconsciously kept people at bay.

Noticing the commotion, Nadia, with a face not particularly beautiful but quite likable, lifted her head. Qin Chu wasn’t sure, but he felt her cheeks might have blushed a fraction.

"Mr. Brave..."

"Miss Nadia, may I sit here?" Qin Chu asked very gentlemanly.

But without waiting for Nadia’s response, he sat down across from her.

Nadia frowned slightly but didn’t say much, appearing calm on the surface.

"I’ll have a White Angel, thank you..." Qin Chu called over a waitress and placed his order.

This was no shoddy service.

White Angel was the name of a pastry. White cream spiraled into delicate strands, and it tasted quite good.

Nadia looked at Qin Chu with a hint of surprise, "Have you been here before?"

"Nope..."

"Then you’re in luck, the White Angel is the signature pastry of this shop."

"Is that so? It seems the Goddess of Luck favors me," Qin Chu smiled, then bowed his head slightly, "I’m sorry..."

Nadia tilted her head, "Why?"

"Uh..."

Qin Chu felt a bit embarrassed, "You remember, right? When I had just been summoned to this world, I did that to you, and I never found the opportunity to apologize."

"That incident..." Nadia gracefully picked up a small piece of cake with her fork and placed it into her cherry lips, "I don’t mind it anymore."

She said so, but Nadia’s little ears couldn’t help but tremble lightly. Uncontrollably, her mind revisited that scene, but what made Nadia feel even more ashamed was the weird reaction of her body, which lasted for quite a while afterward.

Nadia was extremely talented in magic, and she didn’t waste her talent. Since she began studying magic, she had devoted all her energy to cultivating it, living a life free of desires.

Even the outside world rumored that she was a stone woman.

As for those rumors, Nadia simply laughed them off. The affairs between men and women were far less fascinating to her than unraveling the mysteries of magic.

She was confident that before she turned forty, she would achieve the highest mastery of magic in the Sky Dome Continent.

It was said that originally, this world was devoid of magic. It was the knowledge that fell from the endless starry sky that taught the people of the Sky Dome Continent how to wield Elemental Power.

She had already planned her future, wanting to explore the starry sky and to peer into the secrets hidden within the endless Void, once her magical level reached its peak and could no longer progress.

It was supposed to be that way, but after meeting Qin Chu, her heart became a mess.

When Qin Chu had put his finger into her mouth, her body had reacted to the opposite sex for the first time. She didn’t understand what that reaction was, nor did she understand the strange desire in her heart. However, the reaction and the desire made her feel ashamed.

She thought she would be okay as long as she didn’t see Qin Chu, but even when he wasn’t in front of her, that scene often came to mind.

She wanted to calm her mind to continue delving into her magical studies, but her thoughts were in disarray.

She had thought about asking the Great Sage for advice on the situation, but the combined age of the twelve exceeded a thousand years, and not one of them had a wife...

Thankfully, she still had a friend!

Even though it was just one, a Noble Lady by the name of Louisa.

Louisa’s reputation among the Nobles wasn’t good. She was a novelist, but her novels were reportedly terrible, and they were even banned by the Oville Empire, condemned by the Church Court as heretical, and criticized by the Nobles for being indecent...

But, weirdly enough, despite the bad reviews, Louisa’s novels had astonishingly high sales that no one could beat.

In short, it was this Noble Lady who was almost killed while leaving the city to gather material on goblins. She was saved by Nadia, who was collecting magical potion ingredients in the wilds. That Noble Lady then became Nadia’s only friend.

Louisa seemed to know a lot about matters between men and women.

So, Nadia asked her, "Louisa, please tell me, when a male touches my mouth and my body temperature rises and my heartbeat speeds up, and there seems to be a strange desire in my heart, and I often think of him after we part, what is happening?"

Nadia didn’t see any problem with her question, but she vividly remembered Louisa being stunned when she heard her words. Then she just kept shaking her by the shoulders, that damned man, who was he to take her Nadia away?

She wasn’t Louisa’s.

It took a long while before Louisa finally calmed down and then stared at Nadia with a strange look that made her feel weird, much like a proud mother watching her daughter grow up... Like a father reluctant to see his daughter get married...

Speaking of which, wasn’t she a bit older than Louisa?

Then, Louisa asked her, "Do you dislike him?"

Nadia shook her head.

"Do you dislike his touch, then?"

She thought about it carefully; the feeling was strange.

But one thing she was sure of, she didn’t dislike that feeling. She could even say that Qin Chu’s fingers felt comfortable to her.

"Comfortable..." Hearing these words, Louisa seemed to look at Nadia with a terrible expression, then told her explosive news, "I understand now, Nadia. I’ll tell you, you’ve fallen in love with that man!"

"Do you know what that desire in your heart is? It’s because you want to do some naughty things with the man you love."

Speaking of naughty things, what were they again?

She didn’t understand, ah...

"If you’re not sure, you can test it again. If it’s still the same, it means you really have fallen for him. If you try it again and there is no reaction, then it just means it was an accident before."

...

Qin Chu was unaware of Nadia’s thoughts. Seeing some cream still clinging to Nadia’s pretty face, he instinctively reached out to wipe the cream from her fair cheek.

After making this gesture, Qin Chu realized that perhaps it was a bit too much.

After all, he and Nadia weren’t close, and such an action was too intimate.

"I’m sorry..." Qin Chu apologized instinctively.

Nadia seemed to have just awakened from her own world, staring at Qin Chu with her deep blue eyes still a bit dazed. The next second, she unexpectedly opened her mouth wide and took Qin Chu’s finger into her mouth.

She needed to reconfirm her feelings, to determine whether she had truly fallen in love with this man.

Oh no, the Touch of Desire power was still active...
