Shaye, as the most lucid and the most powerful among the many witches, is learned and experienced.
Asking Shaye about sothing unfamiliar was a good choice.
However, the other Shaye inside Qin Chu’s body was feeling quite dissatisfied, jumping around in agitation. She clenched her little fists, complaining about Qin Chu’s fickle heart, calling him a scumbag.
Shaye tilted her head adorably, her expression slightly suspicious, seeming to ponder sothing. After a few seconds, she slowly began, "Like this heart that continues to beat even after being severed from the body, I have never encountered anything like it before."
You still have a lot to learn.
After all, for Qin Chu, this was already the second ti he’d seen such a thing; he had swallowed the first one.
As for this one, Qin Chu did not have even the slightest desire to consu it; in fact, he felt sowhat nauseated.
Not just because of the blood-soaked heart, but also because of the person Rose Vesper was.
Even if it were won like Asina, Silf, or Catherine, Qin Chu would employ various ans, but when it cos to Rose Vesper, he couldn’t muster even the slightest bit of desire.
Currently, Qin Chu even hoped that Rose Vesper wouldn’t die too soon.
He preferred to see Rose Vesper gather all the soul fragnts, and just when she thought she had grasped hope, he would crush those fragnts one by one, watching her scream in agony, despair, and break down.
Then he would bring Rose Vesper before the Demon King, telling her that the Jie Luo she was searching for might be inside.
Let Jie Luo see how filthy and ugly the current Rose Vesper had beco.
Shaye didn’t know what Qin Chu was thinking, but seeing the faint glimr in his eyes, she vaguely sensed it must be sothing quite terrible. She composed herself, "Anyway, I’m not sure either, but this could be an excellent specin. If I could study it, maybe..."
Suddenly, Shaye felt there was sothing wrong with her remark.
A blush spread across her fair face—using a still-beating heart as a specin, Qin Chu might think she was so kind of pervert, right?
Strangely enough, Shaye didn’t wish this man, with whom she felt a sense of affinity, to have a poor impression of her.
Luckily, Qin Chu remained unmoved, which reassured Shaye a bit.
A specin, is it?
Qin Chu smiled while gazing at the heart. He could feel an unprecedented revulsion deep in his consciousness towards it. His fingers trembled slightly as strength surged sporadically, seeking to completely annihilate the heart.
"Shaye, such a beautiful girl, really doesn’t match with sothing so bloodied," Qin Chu remarked.
Shaye puffed up her cheeks.
Although she was known as a witch, she hadn’t really done many bad things; it’s true that not a few have died by her hand, but most of them overestimated themselves and sought her out to eradicate evil. Even when entering human cities, she never caused widespread destruction but simply enjoyed the delights of milk tea and cake.
Her only hobby was conducting various experints, delving into magic and magic potions.
And now Qin Chu had to go and say that.
Shaye was a little unhappy now.
"Furthermore, I suspect this thing may be related to so weird and evil power. I possess the strength of the Holy Light, and even if I’m invaded by strangeness, I can still withstand it. Miss Shaye might be stronger, much stronger than , but you might not necessarily be able to resist an invasion of strangeness. So, this thing should stay with ," Qin Chu continued.
Shaye’s unhappiness faded.
Was that the reason?
Why not start with that explanation?
"Speaking of which, who was that woman just now?" Shaye felt sothing odd and changed the subject instinctively.
"The Holy Court’s forr Saintess, Rose Vesper."
The Saintess?
Shaye found it hard to believe. Was that an image fitting for a Saintess?
Adorned in a Crimson Battle Armor, wielding a massive Battle Axe—could one be sure that she wasn’t a Berserker?
The two curved horns on her forehead, the pair of Crimson wings on her back, and even a long tail trailing behind her.
All in all, the image of a Demon Berserker seed a bit more fitting.
Observing Shaye’s cute little mouth opening slightly, Qin Chu spread his hands, "I’m not lying. That’s the Saintess, at least she once was... But, she’s been invaded by a weird power, or perhaps, in her veins has always flowed blood full of strangeness."
"The existence of weirdness." Shaye frowned slightly, involuntarily recalling the last mont when Rose Vesper gouged out her own heart and offered it to the Starry Sky. At that ti, she felt a mysterious gaze watching her, "Is it those beings from the Void?"
Qin Chu’s eyes flickered, "Miss Shaye, have you also studied the beings of the Void?"
Shaye shook her head, "Though my power has long since broken through the limits of humanity, I have never delved into the Void."
Shaye was very genteel, the epito of a lady, completely different from the Shaye in Qin Chu’s mind. Without knowing her identity, one would definitely mistake her for an elegant princess.
This was a truly incomprehensible phenonon.
When the power of human magicians reaches a certain level and they find it difficult to progress further, they instinctively turn their gaze to the Void, hoping for enlightennt and desiring new, more powerful Energy.
Shaye too wasn’t sure why she held no interest in the Void. It was as if a voice in her heart always reminded her not to peek into the Void.
Qin Chu’s expression was sowhat solemn, "Then Miss Shaye, from now on you must be careful. Entities from the Void have noticed you. If you encounter any particularly strange and bizarre incidents that you cannot handle, feel free to co find ."
"Although my strength is not as great as yours, when it cos to the Void, I can barely be considered an expert."
At least, that was the case compared to the Shaye Nicholas standing before him.
Shaye nodded, keeping Qin Chu’s words in mind. She was well aware that there were many things in this world she didn’t understand.
Fortunately, she possessed a nearly endless life, which would allow her to slowly study these things over ti without rush.
Qin Chu stretched his arms forcefully and glanced at the corpses of Augustus and Philis on the ground. After a brief hesitation, he sighed and found a place to bury the two.
Although Augustus was his enemy, Philis was innocent.
After all was done, the moon had risen to its zenith, but Qin Chu didn’t feel very tired. On the contrary, he felt full of energy.
Within his body, it seed that the other heart worked even better than the original, constantly supplying Qin Chu with inexhaustible energy.
During the fight with Rose Vesper earlier, he had felt even more acutely that his digestion speed for this heart had increased significantly.
"Miss Shaye, it’s already quite late, would you like to co over to my place?"
Don’t misunderstand, this ti he really had no ulterior motives. Qin Chu prepared to go ho by himself and study the changes in his body, as well as whatever was inside the ring Augustus had given him, should Shaye refuse.
But to Qin Chu’s surprise, Shaye looked around and seed to find it difficult to find an inn at this hour. After a brief silence, she actually nodded in agreent.
This left Qin Chu sowhat helpless, "Miss Shaye, although it might not be very appropriate for to say this, isn’t it a bit improper for a beautiful girl like yourself to follow a man ho in the middle of the night? What if you encounter soone with malicious intentions? That would be quite bad, wouldn’t it?"
After all, not everyone was as gentlemanly as he was.
Shaye shook her head, "I don’t just accept anyone’s invitation, you know."
Shaye seed to sense sothing ambiguous in her words, and after a brief hesitation added, "Besides, even if such a situation did arise, I don’t think there’s much to worry about."
Well, that’s true.
With Shaye’s strength, if she really did encounter soone with malicious intentions, the unfortunate one would likely be the other party.
"Or are you saying, Mr. Brave, that you don’t actually wish to invite ? Is this all a lie?" Shaye’s crimson eyes twinkled with amusent.
"No, no, no, how could that be? It would be my greatest honor to have Miss Shaye as a guest."
Qin Chu smiled like a gentleman, and they walked side by side back to the palace.
Inside Qin Chu’s mind, another Shaye was making a ruckus, even ignoring the risk of being discovered by the Shaye outside, she yelled in Qin Chu’s head: "You..."
"Qin Chu, you bastard, what exactly are you trying to do, inviting her to my ho?"
What do you an your ho, isn’t it my ho?
"Tell , have you taken a liking to her?"
"I’m warning you, her demure grace is all an act. When she goes crazy, who knows what she’s like. No one in this world knows her better than I do. You just wait to be duped."
Qin Chu rolled his eyes ceaselessly, finding the Shaye in his mind quite exasperating.
By the way, is there even the slightest difference between you two?
Qin Chu was too busy arguing with the Shaye in his mind to speak to the Shaye outside, which made him particularly quiet along the way.
It wasn’t until he was almost at the palace that he realized he was still holding a heart in his hand...
Bringing this thing back ho would scare people, wouldn’t it?
Although he thought it might be used as a threat against the not-yet-dead Rose Vesper, but...
Squish!
With a slight exertion of his fingers, Qin Chu crushed Rose Vesper’s heart.
After cleaning the gri from his hands, Qin Chu finally stepped through the palace gates, and as far as the eye could see, the ground was covered with the corpses of adventurers, filling the entire courtyard.
What was weird was that these corpses had no visible wounds at all.
It was evident that this was the handiwork of the Daughter of Death, Ireta.
Inside the palace, Angelica and the others were cleaning up the corpses from the ground. Luckily, there were no mutilated limbs or rivers of blood, so the cleanup wasn’t too troubleso.
Hearing the noise, Angelica instinctively looked up. When she saw Shaye Nicholas beside Qin Chu, her expression beca a bit strange, "Miss Shaye? What are you doing here...?"
"Eh?" Before Angelica could ask why Shaye wasn’t perched on Qin Chu’s back anymore, Shaye Nicholas felt curious and tilted her head slightly, "You know ?"
Well, there sure are many pretty girls in the Brave’s palace, aren’t there?
Qin Chu’s face suddenly stiffened, "Damn, I forgot about that."
