Hero? Are You Worthy?-Chapter 383 - 248: Asina’s Confusion (5)

Qin Chu’s body leaned back on the lounge chair.

The Crimson Valkyrie was becoming gentler and gentler.

He enjoyed the services of Catherine but his mind was occupied with another matter.

Asina.

This woman had gone to assist the Mad Demon Muses, and there, a soul fragment of Jie Luo existed.

Now, Asina, being completely trusting toward him, was expected by Qin Chu to try to deceive the Muses, secure the soul fragment, and then secretly hand it over to him.

Qin Chu believed this was definitely what Asina was planning; If things could develop in that way, it would naturally be ideal. But, as much as one might wish, the reality often diverged greatly.

Given Qin Chu’s understanding of Asina, this woman would surely attempt to awaken the residual soul within Jie Luo’s soul fragment and communicate with an undisturbed Jie Luo.

Once it came to that, Asina would find out that the soul fragment was empty, utterly devoid of any residual soul. This would lead her to wonder why the fragment was empty while hers housed a residual soul, and suspicion would drive Asina to conduct various investigations and tests.

Until eventually, she would uncover the grim truth.

Qin Chu trusted Asina’s intelligence and cunning to detect the truth, no matter how well he hid it, even if he believed he had left no loose ends.

At that moment, Asina’s value would be utterly lost, and she might even become a significant obstacle before him.

Then, it would become necessary to eliminate Asina.

Truthfully, Qin Chu did not wish to dispose of Asina just yet; she was still quite useful, a rather excellent tool.

Without Asina, many affairs would become troublesome; after all, Asina was not only a former member of the Hero Team but also had numerous vital connections with the Earth Mother Goddess Sect.

Last time, Asina’s conversation with Anthony had bred doubts in her mind, which, by some fluke, had been muddled through, only for new troubles to arise immediately.

Dealing with a smart woman was truly troublesome.

If only he had the ability to directly manipulate or even change souls, everything would be easier.

Unfortunately, the power related to souls was too mysterious, and even Qin Chu had not been able to master it.

Although he had the Dark Witch, the Storm Witch, the Fiery Flame Witch, and a little of the Earth Witch by his side, each with their own strengths, none of them were proficient in soul magic.

Wait a moment, the Daughter of Death, Ireta?

Ireta seemed to specialize in dealing with souls; could it be possible...?

Also, Helois and Iyeta!

Their master and servant rings, could they be worth considering?

However, Qin Chu had no knowledge of how to create the master and servant ring, nor did he know if those two demons were aware.

A smile appeared on Qin Chu’s face; indeed, there was always a solution if one only thought about it.

"Catherine, where is Muse currently?"

Catherine’s voice came out muffled, "At the border between the Oville Empire and the Ice Duchy, in a place known as Snow Mountain."

"I heard that mountain’s one side is lush with greenery while the other is covered in ice and snow. The towering mountain range blocks the cold from the Ice Duchy. It was there that Muse found a hidden chamber sealed with magic restrictions. Inside, there are a lot of strange, eerie items likely used for worshipping some Evil God. Muse doesn’t have the ability to break the magic restrictions, so she needs Asina’s help."

...

Meanwhile!

Having left the camp for a day, Asina had already returned to the Imperial Palace.

Heading to the border of the Ice Duchy required passing through this area, and Asina needed to prepare some food and fresh water. Even though Asina was strong and could fly fast, the journey was far, and many preparations were necessary.

She anticipated that this trip would be extremely tough.

Not to mention the low temperatures of the border region, just the hidden chamber alone... It was built within the belly of the mountain and sealed with magic.

Moreover, although Muse lacked the ability to break the magic restrictions, her strength was sufficient enough that normally any magic restriction would fall with a mere swing of her ax. The fact that Muse struggled indicated that the person who left behind the chamber and its restrictions was exceedingly powerful.

Most importantly, the chamber housed a large number of bizarre items, seemingly used to worship the Evil God.

Those associated with the Evil God in this world were without exception, both mad and savage with formidable strength, and she feared she might alert the owner of the chamber while attempting to break the restrictions.

Moreover, placing Jie Luo’s pure soul fragment together with items for worshipping the Evil God was truly detestable.

Didn’t they see that Jie Luo’s soul fragment was in a completely different league than those items for the Evil God?

A bunch of clueless things.

At the thought of these things, Asina couldn’t help but feel angry.

Shaking her head, Asina tried to suppress her anger and glanced at the materials she had bought during this period. However, these were not enough. Being meticulous, Asina considered the possibility of dealing with followers of the Evil God, which meant that the enemy’s weirdness could exceed all expectations and would be completely different from ordinary demons.

Her magic was powerful, but sometimes it might not be effective against those weird beings. She would visit the Earth Mother Goddess Sect later and ask Saint Monica for some holy water.

Calculating in her mind, Asina involuntarily let a slight smile cross her face.

This time, if she successfully found a piece of Lord Jie Luo’s soul fragment, Lord Jie Luo would certainly be very happy. Wouldn’t his soul recover a bit?

How she wished Lord Jie Luo would hold her, kiss her...

It was as if she wanted to merge into one with Lord Jie Luo.

Before leaving, she had wanted to have a warm moment with Lord Jie Luo... after all, it had been a long time since she was last pampered.

Well, although it was very likely that Lord Jie Luo couldn’t come out, Qin Chu’s company was barely acceptable. After all, it was for the recovery of Lord Jie Luo, and she could endure it.

Unfortunately, these past few days, Qin Chu had been staying inside the tent, not stepping out at all.

Violet, that woman, guarded Asina well. That tall woman’s strength was as formidable as her stature.

Qin Chu seemed to always stay in the tent, indulging with Angelica, Antasia, and Norma, which even caused Asina to feel a strange jealousy. After all, compared to Lord Jie Luo’s gentleness, Qin Chu’s roughness sometimes had its own appeal.

The thought that suddenly appeared in her mind made Asina pause slightly, a jolt of electricity running through her body, and then she shook her head vigorously, feeling very disgusted by the thoughts in her heart.

Qin Chu wasn’t Jie Luo; what did it matter to her who he was with, and why should she feel jealous?

What was this, comparing Qin Chu with Lord Jie Luo?

Had she even concluded that Qin Chu was better than Lord Jie Luo?

This bizarre idea filled Asina’s heart with a twisted sense of shame as if she had become a shameless, bad woman. She clearly liked Jie Luo, but why was the impression of Qin Chu occasionally even clearer in her mind than that of Jie Luo?

Jie Luo, Qin Chu.

The figures of two men continued to appear in her mind.

The more Asina did not want to compare, the more her mind wanted to do it.

Identity, both were heroes.

Talent... regardless of how much Asina did not want to admit it, Qin Chu’s talent was indeed superior. Possessing two Super Order Powers, Qin Chu’s progress in cultivation was like soaring on a griffin, unstoppable. In comparison, Lord Jie Luo’s talent was excellent yet fell far short of Qin Chu’s.

Appearance? Qin Chu was well-formed, not strikingly handsome but not bad either. Compared to him, Lord Jie Luo was the type that would be completely unnoticeable in a crowd.

Whether it was his eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, ears, or face, there was nothing to fault, but the overall impression was simply... a person, and that was it.

Nothing about him was particularly appealing, but why did Asina find Lord Jie Luo so charming in her heart?

Before meeting Qin Chu, no other man could fit in her mind, no matter how outstanding. They all seemed as disgusting as flies or cockroaches, and even talking to them made Asina feel nauseous.

Was it because Lord Jie Luo had saved her?

Yes, a life-saving grace is greater than the heavens.

It wasn’t strange for Asina to have fallen in love with him because Lord Jie Luo saved her.

But what she couldn’t understand was, did this kind of love blind her eyes, disable her brain from thinking, and confuse her consciousness, preventing her from recognizing what kind of man Lord Jie Luo really was? Lord Jie Luo didn’t possess a charisma and charm that could make all women swoon... to be frank, he really wasn’t up to par.

But why did every woman who had contact with Lord Jie Luo fall hopelessly in love with him?

This was true for herself, for Catherine, for Rose Vesper, for Silf, Aileen, Aili, and others.

Even after Lord Jie Luo had been dead for many years, this affection hadn’t waned at all.

Was it merely because of Lord Jie Luo’s heroic status?

But being heroes as well, why did she and others like Catherine and Rose Vesper despise Qin Chu so? It made no sense at all.

Indeed, Qin Chu was not a good person, even using Lord Jie Luo’s soul fragment to threaten her... but, Asina clearly knew, this feeling of disgust existed before Qin Chu threatened her, even before Qin Chu was summoned to this world.

Was this normal?

Now looking back, she had been willing to offer her pure body to Qin Chu to resurrect Lord Jie Luo, becoming a plaything for a Second Generation Brave Warrior.

Wasn’t this love too twisted! ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Her head ached!

Asina couldn’t help but clutch her head tightly, no... no, it wasn’t like this; her love for Lord Jie Luo hadn’t changed at all.
