As she watched Catherine drag her feet reluctantly towards the palace, a touch of pity flashed in Asina’s eyes.
After her own escape, that man Qin Chu, who valued carnal desires as much as life itself, would surely target Catherine, wouldn’t he?
Once again, Catherine was going to be tornted by that man.
But there was nothing Asina could do, for she simply couldn’t bear the thought of Qin Chu on top of her now.
Even if it would benefit Lord Jie Luo’s soul recovery, Asina could have endured it if Lord Jie Luo’s consciousness was controlling that body, but if it were Qin Chu’s own consciousness, there was a physiological repulsion.
Too much had happened today, and Asina’s mind was still sowhat in chaos.
The shock of seeing Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragnt, the surprise of Jie Luo’s Residual Soul awakening, the happiness of becoming Jie Luo’s woman...
Looking back now, she felt she might have been too impulsive.
Her normal reasoning had been shredded by a series of events.
Even if Jie Luo’s Residual Soul had taken up residence in Qin Chu’s body, she wouldn’t have so readily surrendered her untouched self.
After all, that was Qin Chu’s body she was dealing with, at a mont that was most important in her life.
Asina was a woman too, she liked romance, she liked to dream.
She had wished for her first ti to be filled with more ceremony, wearing a pure white wedding dress, exchanging rings under the blessing of clergy in a church, kissing and caressing each other in a warmly decorated and magnificent room as they welcod the most significant mont of their lives.
But just now, it was only an ordinary bedroom, without a wedding dress, without a church, and even facing Qin Chu’s face, everything just happened so naturally.
Ever since Lord Jie Luo said he would marry Catherine and she had been relegated to being nothing more than a dear sister, her head was flushed with heat and she got carried away.
Frustrated, Asina raised her small fist and knocked on her own head; she was usually such a calm person, never so reckless and impulsive. What was going on with her today?
She intended to find a tavern to drink so wine. Beneath the streetlight, Asina’s figure cast a long shadow. A chill wind blew, and Asina’s body shivered involuntarily.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks.
A thought that erged abruptly in her mind turned Asina’s face pale with terror, sending chills down her scalp.
Could all of this have been orchestrated?
Large beads of sweat rolled down her pale, pretty face incessantly. She had never been as scared as she was now; if all this was a ruse, she would truly go insane.
Perhaps, this was a clever person’s intuition.
Initially, she was so overwheld by Lord Jie Luo suddenly appearing in front of her that her mind went blank. Now, thinking more carefully, there seed to be a multitude of inconsistencies.
Beginning with Qin Chu and Catherine’s return to the Imperial City, witnessing their intimate monts, eavesdropping on their conversations, generating speculation in her own heart, to the appearance of Jie Luo’s Residual Soul controlling Qin Chu’s body before her, affirming her judgnt...
The entire process...
Seed too smooth.
So smooth it made Asina’s scalp tingle, as if an invisible hand was guiding her step by step towards discovery, towards confirmation of that so-called truth.
Was all of this just part of Qin Chu’s plan?
Could there be mories of Lord Jie Luo inside the Soul Fragnt? Was it possible that Qin Chu knew the nickna "Little Xina" through the Soul Fragnt, and designed this terrifying plan just to obtain her body?
Not just her, but Catherine as well, played by Qin Chu...
A thought that suddenly ca to mind was like a bolt of lightning that struck directly on Asina’s forehead, leaving her frozen in place, motionless.
Her full figure began to tremble, recalling everything that had just happened, Qin Chu’s rough palms ravaging her body, sliding over every inch of skin.
Recalling that kiss just monts ago.
A wave of intense disgust surged within her, her stomach churning violently, Asina felt an urge to vomit under the streetlight pole.
No, no, no...
Overwhelming fear and tension caused Asina’s chest to heave rapidly, as she shook her head repeatedly, forcing herself to calm down.
If things were really as she suspected, then Qin Chu was far more terrifying than she could have imagined...
The Soul Crystal was shrouded in mystery; even Asina had never co across it, and there was scant literature regarding it. No one could be sure whether it held mories, and even if it did, the mories stored within a broken Fragnt would be incomplete. Qin Chu couldn’t possibly know so much detail.
Moreover, how to interpret the Soul Crystal was sothing even Asina did not know, and Qin Chu, who had only been in this world for a few days, couldn’t possibly grasp it; with Qin Chu’s level of Magic Power, it was also impossible.
Most importantly, if Qin Chu had really designed this sche, he would never have shown Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragnt in front of her, leaving such a huge flaw.
Increasing her doubts would not benefit Qin Chu at all, and might even lead her to lose control and kill him on the spot. Qin Chu was a cunning and deceitful man; he wouldn’t take such a great risk.
With every hypothesis in her mind, Asina found plenty of strong evidence to refute them.
Having ruled out all these impossibilities, what remained must be the truth.
The person who had been communicating with her was indeed the real Jie Luo.
So gentle.
She could still see in her mind’s True Eye the scene just after returning to the palace; Catherine, unable to find her, seized by a frantic Qin Chu, appeared vacant and lifeless, enduring Qin Chu’s brutality.
