Candice agreed, she quietly peeked at Mr. Brave’s face. It was calm, showing no emotion, leaving her to wonder what he was really thinking.
It was no wonder he was equal to Lord Horus, possessing the deanor of a true expert.
After a long ti, Qin Chu finished his drink in one gulp, "Keep an eye on the demons and notify imdiately if anything unusual happens."
Candice silently nodded.
Qin Chu stood up and left a banknote on the counter.
"Wait a mont..." Seeing that Qin Chu seed about to end the conversation, Candice suddenly spoke up.
The woman seed hesitant and after deliberating for a while, she took out a small box from her bosom and handed it to Qin Chu.
He accepted it suspiciously, opened it, and found inside a necklace shimring in silver light with a star-shaped pendant hanging from it.
"This is..." Qin Chu was puzzled, it definitely wasn’t ant for himself, since it was their first eting—or so it was supposed to be.
"This is sothing I... cough cough, stumbled upon while shopping, it seems very fitting for Lord Horus’s temperant," Candice’s cheeks flushed slightly.
"I initially wanted to give it to Lord Horus personally, but given he appears and disappears unpredictably, Mr. Brave, since you and Lord Horus are familiar..."
"So, you hope I can deliver this necklace to him when I see Horus?" Qin Chu raised his eyebrows, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Candice’s head bobbed incessantly like a pecking chick, her cheeks turning redder, twirling a strand of hair around her finger, and biting her lower lip with her white teeth.
Truly deserving of her Enchanting Demon heritage, this charm was indeed extre.
Normally she was enough to captivate souls, but now, this shy timid look was utterly charming.
Unintentionally, Candice noticed the expression on Qin Chu’s face and was hugely embarrassed, "Mr. Brave... please don’t think too much..."
"Lord Horus has helped a lot, I just want to thank him, there’s absolutely no other aning, please don’t get the wrong idea." Candice waved her hands frantically in front of her as she explained.
Qin Chu nodded continuously, Mum-mum, I get it, after all, you only t Horus once, where in this world is there so much love at first sight.
"Don’t worry, I will definitely hand it to him personally, as I indeed am very familiar with him."
He put the box into his storage ring right in front of Candice, rubbing his face with his hands, adjusting his expression from a focused to a complaining, irritable one.
After adjusting, Qin Chu called out loud, "Charles..."
"Mr. Brave, what are your orders..." The aide soon entered.
Seeing that Maritiss had collapsed headlong on the counter, Charles’s forehead was covered in black lines.
Forgot, the captain’s tolerance for alcohol...
Seeing Mr. Brave’s current state, full of complaints and irritability, clearly not having enjoyed himself, just ca to drink and relax, but you collapsed after one drink, where was the fun in that?
Charles the aide was imdiately covered in cold sweat, his complexion turning pallid, "Mr. Brave, this..."
Qin Chu, sowhat impatiently, waved his hand, "Forget it, take Maritiss back, I’m also heading ho."
Charles breathed a sigh of relief, although Mr. Brave wasn’t in a good mood, he hadn’t taken it out on them. He imdiately arranged for a few brothers to carry Maritiss ho, while he and the others accompanied Mr. Brave back to the palace.
Along the way, Qin Chu casually chatted with Charles and the others, but his mind was pondering over how to completely corrupt Catherine.
According to Shaye, the original needed seven bottles of Enchanting Love Potion; the enhanced version had a stronger effect, maybe the process could be expedited a bit.
Catherine was definitely a woman of strong will, and now just two bottles had brought her to the brink of losing control, nearly having eroded her will and dignity completely.
Looking at the situation, perhaps three or four bottles might suffice.
Drip, drip...
The sound of footsteps clearly pierced into his ears.
Suddenly, he felt sothing was off; it was too quiet around, apart from his footsteps, there was absolutely no other sound, even the voices of the soldiers who had been talking to him had disappeared.
Qin Chu suddenly stopped, firstly glancing around, Charles and a dozen soldiers had just been talking with him, but in a mont of distraction, they had vanished without a trace...
As a guard of Mr. Brave, Charles couldn’t have left on his own.
Qin Chu’s expression gradually beca solemn. He knew he must have entered a dangerous and special realm, but he did not panic.
The sky was drearily gray.
It wasn’t the darkness of midnight, but the entire world seed enveloped in a haze of gray fog, even the two crescent moons overhead were obscured by the mist.
On the street, pedestrians and carriages, just like the guards nearby, had all disappeared, and the shops on the street no longer buzzed with vibrant lights, only exuding an aura of death. The air was filled with oppression, and with a slight sniff, one could detect a scent of sothing scorched.
"Shaye?"
He received no response!
This strange realm had even, temporarily, severed the connection between Qin Chu and Shaye, a situation that had never occurred before.
Gradually, the temperature around seed to start rising, the heat waves surging.
He gazed into the distance; the dimly lit street had no footsteps, no breathing, no heartbeat, nothing but the sll of charring, and he couldn’t sense the presence of any living person.
Suddenly, sothing as light as a feather drifted down from the sky.
It landed on Qin Chu’s forehead.
Touching it with his hand, he found a grayish-black trace on his fingertips, and rubbing his fingers a little... it was the ash of sothing that had burned.
Looking up at the sky, countless ashes, like feathers, fell from the high sky, covering the ground with a thick layer in just a short ti as the temperature climbed higher, causing the air to warp.
Suddenly, he saw a figure standing at the end of the street.
The figure, dressed in a form-fitting won’s Battle Armor, wielded a Long Spear exceeding two ters in length. Her arms, legs, and waist, were entwined with black chains, half-rged into shadows, making it impossible for Qin Chu to see her face.
It seed, this was the being who had created this mysterious realm!
Just as Qin Chu thought to approach and inquire why she had trapped him, at that mont, the figure at the end of the street slowly spread her arms.
The next instant...
Hum...
Blazing flas instantly surged from her arms, allowing Qin Chu to finally see her face, illuminated by the firelight.
What kind of face was it? It was as pale as snow, utterly devoid of color.
On her narrow cheeks, there was no hint of life... Her body felt as hard as stone...
Her petite, cracked Battle Armor covered her slender body; the tip of her spear hung a tattered flag stained with blood, the flas wrapped around it, turning the flag into ashes.
Her slender, yet shapely legs supported her gaunt body in battle, in slaughter.
Her bright golden hair fluttered in the fierce fire, her deep blue eyes, hollow and dark!
Qin Chu couldn’t help but step back.
That figure, that face, he recognized it.
This... This was the statue at the crossroads of Antia Street!
Only now, the statue, had co to life!
The fire had already spread throughout her body.
As Qin Chu watched the figure amidst the fierce flas, he was profoundly startled.
Her strength, the aura emanating from her was undoubtedly no less potent than Catherine’s!
As Qin Chu contemplated ways to extricate himself, he bowed slightly, his face wearing a gentleman’s smile, "May I ask if you are Miss Antia?"
"May I know why you are seeking ?"
Qin Chu’s inquiry went unanswered.
Right before Qin Chu’s eyes, the girl, wrapped in serpentine flas, suddenly turned into a fiery arc.
Qin Chu’s face changed as he wanted to dodge, but he was surprised to find his body seed constrained by so mysterious force, unable to move. The next instant, accompanied by a wave of scorching heat, the fiery arc appeared right before Qin Chu.
In the swirling fire, the girl’s pale beautiful face appeared intermittently.
"Light can bring life... it was you who awakened ...
Your body... contains the seed of life..."
