Chapter 385: Chapter 250 Asina: Did I Fall in Love with Him? (Seeking Monthly Votes and Recommendations)

Asina’s chestnut eyes were tightly fixated on Saint Monica.

It wasn’t that she doubted Lord Jie Luo... not at all.

Her concern was solely about the despicable Qin Chu, as to whether he was using some magic to interfere and affect her. Lord Jie Luo, a dashing gentleman, would certainly not stoop to doing such shameless acts, only the shameless Qin Chu would threaten her.

That man was a bastard, using the soul fragment of Lord Jie Luo to threaten her, even forcing her to adopt various embarrassing positions and actions to serve him, and he would use vile words and scorching slaps to humiliate and torment her. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Unbidden, dreadful images surfaced in her mind, causing Asina to feel her cheeks burn hotly.

In any case, the man was a bastard.

If it were Qin Chu, he could possibly do anything, thus, it was necessary to confirm this with the Church Venerable.

Her small hands clenched unconsciously.

Saint Monica looked at Asina with a hint of suspicion, "My dear investigator, what has happened, why do you ask such a thing?"

Asina smiled bitterly, shaking her head, "It’s nothing, I’m just a bit worried that our Mr. Brave might have influenced me mentally without my knowledge."

Saint Monica’s eyelids drooped, and after a brief silence, she opened her eyes again, "Is that so... well then, let me perform a check for you."

As she spoke, Saint Monica walked up to Asina.

Although Saint Monica was not young, she showed no signs of age, and her slender, pale fingers, just like Asina’s, were gently placed on Asina’s forehead as she slightly closed her eyes.

Immediately after, Asina distinctly felt a unique power flowing through her forehead, permeating her body in an instant.

Her body shivered slightly, then returned to normal.

Magic Power was spreading.

The room was filled with a strange mist.

This situation lasted for a good half hour. Finally, Saint Monica moved her palm away from Asina’s forehead.

"How is it?" Asina asked.

Saint Monica shook her head, "Asina, your body, consciousness, soul, everything is normal. There are no signs of manipulation or control."

Upon hearing this, Asina finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As one of the most powerful humans in the entire Sky Dome Continent with highly exquisite magic skills, far beyond her own, Saint Monica’s word that she was fine meant just that... If even Saint Monica could not detect anything, did that imply that the opponent’s power was even greater than the Church Venerable of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect? What level of power was that? Level 100 or higher?

What’s the use in resisting then? Hopeless, time to meet one’s end!

Asina’s nerves gradually calmed down, and she didn’t even know why she was worried at all... was it because Qin Chu had not manipulated her or because... Jie Luo?

Then, Asina suddenly thought of a very strange question:

If she hadn’t been subjected to a mental influence, then why did her impression of Qin Chu in her mind become increasingly clear and lingering?

Though he was just a shameless scoundrel, using Lord Jie Luo’s soul fragment to threaten her.

She should be filled with hatred towards him, yet why did she keep thinking about him?

Suddenly, Asina’s complexion drastically changed, her pretty face turning pale.

Her body even shivered slightly with fear.

Could it be that after spending this time together, she... she actually started to like the person who threatened and tortured her?

No, that’s not right.

It couldn’t be possible. In her heart, there was only Jie Luo; Qin Chu held no place there, not at all!

Asina’s eyes widened, her pupils shaking slightly, her breathing grew rapid, and she bit her lip forcefully as if denying something. Saint Monica, watching her distinguished investigator in such a state, couldn’t help but find it odd:

"Asina, what exactly is wrong with you today? What has happened?"

"You’ve never been this unsettled before."

With Saint Monica’s words, Asina took a deep breath, struggling to suppress her thoughts.

Maybe it was purely overthinking?

Falling for Qin Chu?

Ha, absolutely impossible.

Even if all the men in the world died out, she would never fall for that pervert who found pleasure in humiliating her.

Furthermore, hadn’t Saint Monica’s words also proven that Lord Jie Luo hadn’t tampered with her body... thus, her feelings for Lord Jie Luo were absolutely without issue.

Her deep love for Jie Luo would never change, no matter how many years passed, and no one could shake Lord Jie Luo’s position in her heart, no one!

Asina took a deep breath, her expression returning to normal, "Apologies, Lord Sect Master, for causing you concern, I’m fine."

Saint Monica looked somewhat skeptical but then smiled after a few seconds, "It’s good you’re fine... but, my dearest investigator, whatever troubles you encounter, feel free to share them with me!"

"I understand."

"So, investigator..." Saint Monica’s face, previously kind and gentle, gradually darkened, "How are Holy Son Oniens and Saint Inas doing?"

Oniens and Inas?

Asina immediately showed a hint of disdain, then coldly responded, "Trash."

That was Asina’s assessment of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect.

Saint Monica sighed bitterly. Could Asina not learn to conceal her opinions just a little?

"Oniens is a total waste, having grown up in exceptionally favorable conditions with unlimited access to magic potions and Holy Crystal Stones, and yet at his age he’s only Level 79. He even prides himself on that; does he not realize he’s actually worthless?"

"Moreover, his personality is extremely arrogant and disdainful. Although I am not fond of heroes either, at least they make an effort to keep up appearances..."

Well... Asina paused here, harboring a peculiar thought—something more than merely keeping up appearances...

Suddenly, she vigorously shook her head. No, no, how could those horrible images come to mind again?

All because of that Qin Chu, making her feel so strange.

This time, Saint Monica did not think too deeply; she took Asina’s shaking of her head as a negation of Oniens.

"Oniens behaves arrogantly even in the presence of a hero, completely oblivious to the disparity between them."

"The same goes for Inas. Although her power is much greater than the idiotic Oniens, her character is just as terrible. As a member of the Hero Team, she merely orbits around Oniens."

"Oniens, along with the Holy Men you appointed, even went as far as to clash with the surviving soldiers, attempting to execute all seven thousand of them..." Asina, somewhat speechless, rubbed her forehead, "Honestly, it’s hard to imagine what kind of brainless person would make such a decision!"

Indeed, the lives of commoners are not lives at all.

This is an axiom recognized by all nobility and Holy Men.

But, there’s a time and place for everything.

Now we need to integrate commoners armed into troops to fight against demons. You execute thousands of soldiers who have survived battles with demons, aren’t you afraid of inciting a revolt?

Saint Monica’s mouth slightly agape.

She seemed equally shocked by the intelligence Asina provided.

She knew Oniens and Inas were foolish, but had never imagined they could be foolish to this extent.

"What happened next?"

"A member of the Hero Team, Violet, intervened, trampled Oniens underfoot, slapped Inas, and also confiscated all the weapons and armor of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect’s people, preventing them from causing further trouble."

Asina curled her lip. Honestly, the reputation of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect was lost at that moment, but Saint Monica showed no anger, her expression as calm as ever.

"In short, these two trash must be dealt with, otherwise, who knows what trouble they might cause for the Earth Mother Goddess Sect in the future. That is your goal, isn’t it, to use either heroes or demons to eliminate Inas and Oniens?"

Saint Monica glanced at Asina, "Asina, I know you are clever."

"But, being too clever can make people dislike you."

"Please, you’re not young anymore—talking like a girl is disgusting!"

Saint Monica was struck by a profound blow.

Just as they were talking, they suddenly saw outside among the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, a middle-aged beautiful woman with a furious expression and fiery eyes, her face ice-cold and stormy as she swept past.

Asina raised an eyebrow, "The former Lord Sect Master Florence, guess what this kid-lover is up to?"

She stuck out her tongue, relieved that Florence hadn’t heard her call her son a fool, otherwise, she would definitely have come at her with swords drawn.

That woman was exceptionally talented, powerful, respected, and shrewd, but whenever it came to her worthless son Oniens, she would immediately transform into someone else.

Everybody felt that Florence’s love and indulgence towards Oniens were excessively over the top, almost distorted.

"Do you even need to ask?" Saint Monica said irritably, "Surely after Oniens, that waste, got beaten up, he felt aggrieved but lacked the strength to retaliate, so he used message magic to contact his mother to tattle... "

In her words, contempt was evident.

Saint Monica did not even want to dwell long on this issue, as discussing the hopeless Oniens was hardly worthwhile.

By comparison, Saint Monica had more important matters to discuss with Asina.

Her expression grew slowly serious, "Asina, do you remember the oracle I mentioned to you last time?"

Asina’s expression suddenly changed; she trembled slightly.

The oracle received by the Earth Mother Goddess Sect was a secret known to only a few, and Asina was one of them.

And the content of the oracle was clear:

Kill the hero!

Since the First Generation Brave Hero Jie Luo had died, it was obvious who this hero referred to.

Qin Chu.

The first time she heard this from Saint Monica, Asina felt puzzled but calmly accepted it.

But this time, recalling the oracle of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, a strong, indescribable resistance surged from deep within her.
