Succubus Lover (3)

She was bathed in blood and light just like me, so why was I the only one to be affected in the end?

If both of them were in the same situation, Sylph would only feel a sense of shared suffering, and her relationship with Aili would seem to become closer. But now that she is the only one being eroded and in danger, all that remains in her heart Envy and a trace of resentment.

"Is that so? That's wonderful." Sylph managed a weak smile. "Then, Your Hero, do you have any good way to cleanse me of the filth?"

"They're not going to burn me to ashes with the Holy Flame, are they?"

Qin Chu spread his hands with a somewhat exaggerated expression. "How could that be? Miss Sylph is such a beautiful girl. Don't you think it would be such a waste to burn her to ashes with the Holy Flame?"

Sylph gave a smug hum, always very confident in her figure and appearance.

"You should also know that this erosion affects not only the body, but also the soul..."

"The soul aspect will be a bit more complicated. I will try to extract your soul from your body... and then use pure Holy Light to temper your soul, washing away all the taint that has corrupted it."

Sylph's expression changed drastically. The fact that her soul was being separated from her body meant something Sylph understood better than anyone else. It meant that, at least for a period of time, she was completely a lamb in Qin Chu's hands, and he could crush her soul with just a thought.

"This is a risky matter. Miss Sylph, it's up to you whether you want to do it or not. I know what you're worried about, but if I really wanted to harm you, there are plenty of ways I could do it without all this trouble, right? I could just shout and your life would be over, wouldn't it?"

"Even if I do nothing, I can let you turn into a monster like Karthus."

Qin Chu's expression suddenly turned serious. "Miss Sylph, I only wanted to save you."

"If you can't even trust me, then please leave now."

Qin Chu pointed to the door and spoke quietly, seemingly Wrath that Sylph didn't believe him.

"Of course, you can also look for Rosweisse. After all, she is a saint of the Holy Church, and perhaps she has a way... However, even Pope Augustus couldn't do it, so I seriously doubt whether Rosweisse has the ability." His tone suddenly became somewhat mocking.

Sylph stood still and did not leave.

She pondered Qin Chu's words, which made a lot of sense. If Qin Chu really wanted to harm her, there were many ways to do so. Even if he did nothing, she would soon become a monster and then be burned to ashes by Qin Chu in a blatant manner.

From this perspective, it seems that Qin Chu, this Hero, truly only wanted to save himself; he didn't have any other intentions?

As for telling Rosweisse, just as Qin Chu said, even Augustus couldn't solve this problem, so Rosweisse couldn't possibly handle it.

Thinking this through, Sylph no longer doubted, a flattering smile appearing on her face. Her beautiful body leaned completely against Qin Chu's chest, her sexy back and hips seemingly unintentionally swaying slightly, arousing Qin Chu's desire.

This action reveals that Sylph is very inexperienced; she doesn't know how to please a man.

Her voice became sweet and seductive. "Your Hero, why are you so angry? I didn't mean to doubt you. Sylph was just frightened."

Now that Qin Chu holds his own future in his hands, if he doesn't want to become an ugly monster like Karthus and be burned to ashes in the Holy Flame, he must try his best to please and seduce Qin Chu.

Whatever Qin Chu wanted from her, Sylph could only try her best to satisfy him, whether it was her body or her dignity... Even if he treated her the way he had treated Ekaterina, she could only accept it.

After all, compared to life, all other things don't seem that important.

This provocation seemed to have some effect, as Qin Chu's Wrath expression softened slightly.

"By the way, Your Hero, how do I cleanse the corruption on my body?" Sylph asked.

"This one is relatively simpler, but..." Qin Chu seemed a little hesitant, and whispered something in Sylph's ear, causing Sylph's cheeks to turn Crimson instantly.

"So, should you accept my purification...?"

"Miss Sylph, please think it over carefully. The corruption you're undergoing has only just begun; you have plenty of time." Qin Chu took a breath, picked up another coat and draped it over his shoulders, then grabbed the top hat hanging on the hanger and put it on his head. "By the way, don't tell anyone about this. Only the two of us should know."

"After all, the more people who know, the more complicated things become."

"The two appearances of the Evil God have already caused serious damage to this city, resulting in the deaths of many people. This has made people extremely sensitive to the Evil God. If you tell someone, even someone you are very close to and trust, or even a member of the Hero's Party, and you accidentally let it slip, I'm afraid a large number of holy Knight will come to arrest you immediately."

"I didn't call anyone to arrest you, nor did I take the opportunity to blackmail you, nor did I let you fall into depravity. I tried my best to save you, Sylph. You should understand that I am the only person you can trust now..."

Sylph had originally planned to discuss it with Rosweisse and Athena, since both of them were very intelligent and might have other better ideas.

But after hearing Qin Chu's words, he immediately felt that they made a lot of sense.

If the two of them accidentally let it slip, she would be completely ruined; she couldn't pin her hopes on what other people said.

Moreover, in the hearts of Rosweisse and Athena, reviving Jello is the most important thing. If they knew, they might see her as a burden. In order to save the reputation of the Hero's Party, they might even take the initiative to expose her and put on a show of sacrificing family for the greater good.

Call...

Fortunately, Mr. Qin kindly reminded us, otherwise it could have been dangerous.

"Then I'll be going now, Miss Sylph. Please think it over carefully." Nodding to Sylph, Qin Chu turned and left.

Sylph was the only one left in Qin Chu's bedroom.

Recalling what Qin Chu had just said, Sylph's cheeks flushed Crimson.

Simply bathing in Holy Light is not enough to cure the physical erosion; in Mr. Qin Chu's words, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.

The marks of erosion are imprinted deep within the body.

There is only one way to cleanse it: to infuse the body with the power of Holy Light.

In the same way as Ekaterina.

Sylph's eyes showed struggle; did she really have to accept this kind of treatment?

Many thanks to Xuwowo, Walking Bird, Qingyi, and Wengran for their 500 coins. Thank you for your support.

Chapter 183 Succubus Lover (3)

Sylph returned to her bedroom.

She wrapped her full body in the blanket, her face showing hesitation and fear.

She didn't know what to do. If only she could talk to Athena, Rosweisse, or Ronald, the three smartest members of the Hero's Party.

However, Ronald wasn't there.

Saving Lord Jello was the most important thing for Athena and Rosweisse. Just as Qin Chu had told them before he left, the more people who knew about her being Evil God's Corruption, the greater her danger would be. Those two might very well choose to betray her in order to prevent the Hero's Party's status from being lowered again, staging a scene of sacrificing family for the greater good.

She couldn't consult anyone; this was a decision she had to make herself, which wasn't an easy one for Sylph to make.

Sylph disliked Qin Chu; in fact, she was extremely annoyed by any touch from the opposite sex.

She was unwilling to reveal her innocence to Qin Chu under any circumstances.

But...

Every living being cherishes its life.

Sylph was the same.

She knew very well that once she accepted Qin Chu's treatment, her no longer pure body would be unworthy of staying by Lord Jello's side, let alone becoming Jello's wife.

Even so, Sylph still wanted to see Jello one more time.

Even if she couldn't stay by Jello's side like Rosweisse, Aili, Eileen, she would be content just to watch from afar, to see Jello safe and sound, and to see Jello living a happy life.

If you die, then there will be no future.

Perhaps, accepting Qin Chu's treatment is the only way for her to survive.

After a long while, Sylph sighed dejectedly, unable to come up with any better solution no matter how hard she racked her brains.

The corruption of the Evil God and the cleansing of the filth are things that only Qin Chu can do right now. Even Augustus couldn't do it... Even if Augustus could really do it, the thought of having to submit to such a wretched old man made Sylph feel even more uncomfortable. It would be better to be with Qin Chu.

After all, Qin Chu is younger and more handsome.

His talent is also extraordinary; his strength has grown to an astonishing level in a short time since he arrived on the Skyvault Continent.

He was Hero of high status. Even Wadsworth addressed Qin Chu as a brother, and Augustus and Saint Monica treated him with the same courtesy.

After thinking about it for a moment, Sylph was surprised to find that, from any perspective, he was absolutely an outstanding man, and her disgust lessened slightly.

Although the process will still be very difficult, just bear with it and it will pass.

Although Qin Chu said that he had only been slightly corrupted and had enough time to think, Sylph still felt that it was better to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

On the other side, Qin Chu, having left the palace, remained calm.

Sylph is a perfect test subject... He will make good use of Sylph's body and soul. He wants to understand how the Evil God corrupts humanity, and what criteria the Evil God uses to choose its targets.

If you can discover the patterns within, you'll feel more secure when facing Evil God.

In fact, Qin Chu realized this when he saw Sylph: the true corruption was imprinted on the soul, and the physical body was merely a manifestation of the soul being corrupted.

Therefore, what truly needs careful study is Sylph's soul.

However, extracting the soul from the body is not an easy task.

The human soul and body are extremely closely connected. When the body dies, the soul automatically separates, but while alive, they are perfectly united. Forcibly separating them is incredibly difficult, unlike what is depicted in cultivation novels where they can be pulled out at will.

"Antia, are you interested in Sylph's physical body?" Qin Chu suddenly asked abruptly.

Antia had already returned to Qin Chu's body, and upon hearing Qin Chu's words, she immediately responded, "Not interested."

Qin Chu rubbed his nose. Well, he had thought that Antia could possess Sylph's body, so that Antia could live openly in this world with her soul and Sylph's body.

After all, Antia is different from Violet and Saya.

Saya and herself were forcibly bound together, inseparable.

Violet possesses the authority of the Storm Lord, and the simulated body is almost indistinguishable from her real body, except that she is a bit taller.

Of the trio, only Antia can be considered the purest ghost.

Although the Ghost Knight is very strong, its pure ghost form has a huge flaw: it takes double damage from Holy Light magic and has negative defense against lightning and fire magic.

Sylph's soul is filthy, and Qin Chu has no intention of keeping her.

The physical body is still quite good; I had hoped it could serve as a vessel for Antia, but it seems Antia has absolutely no interest in it.

It was still dark, and the city was shrouded in a light mist. It seemed like there had just been a light rain, making it dark and damp, and the roads were a bit muddy.

Soldiers are patrolling.

These soldiers were full of complaints about their jobs. Recently, two Evil God had descended, causing the Imperial City to be filled with suspicion, and the workload of the patrolmen had basically doubled.

Although Qin Chu didn't think these patrolmen were of much use.

If the mysterious being in the Void truly intended to corrupt this world, these poor soldiers would succumb instantly, utterly powerless to resist.

Some of the magic lamps were broken due to the previous chaos and impact, causing the road surface to flicker between light and darkness.

The patrolmen walked past Qin Chu, greeting Qin Chu with friendliness and respect. Rumors spread very quickly; although the incident occurred at night, gossip is human nature.

The news that Qin Chu, under the influence of the Evil God and enveloped in Crimson light, saved tens of thousands of humans has spread rapidly.

Rumors of angelic descent and the presence of the Goddess of Holy Light are rampant, and these rumors have begun to change as they spread, with some even claiming that Qin Chu is the reincarnation of the Goddess of Holy Light...

Reincarnation my ass, I'm a man.

He muttered something, a gentle smile on his face, as he returned the salute of the soldier.

The morning sun barely dispelled the damp night, and Qin Chu's figure appeared at the entrance of a bar.

Behind the bar is the sexy and alluring owner, Candice.

She seemed to have just finished her night shift, yawning and preparing to rest for a bit, but her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Qin Chu.

Swaying gracefully, still reeking of alcohol, she stepped out from behind the bar, picked up a completely drunk customer in each hand, and casually tossed him outside the shop.

"Isn't it a bit unfair to treat the bar's customers like this?" Qin Chu said helplessly, "After all, they paid money here."

Candice didn't seem to care. "It's fine. When they wake up, they'll just think they were passed out outside the door. After all, this kind of thing happens all the time. Or would you prefer me to treat them gently?"

"Then forget it. I just want you to keep your gentleness for me," Qin Chu replied honestly.

Candice smiled like a little fox, invited Qin Chu into the bar, closed the door, turned around and jumped into Qin Chu, giving him a passionate kiss with a Succubus quality.

Her eyes were filled with adoration.

Although it was only a few days, it felt like an eternity to Candice.

Lord Horus is still as charming as ever.

The almost suffocating kiss finally ended, but Candice didn't get out of Qin Chu's arms. Her purple hair was slightly disheveled, and her alluring eyes were filled with deep affection.

It must be said that, despite only having half-blood lineage, Candice's captivating charm is enough to drive people crazy.

Sylph tried to provoke Qin Chu, but she didn't realize that her methods were too crude and wouldn't elicit any response from Qin Chu.

"My dearest Horus, what shall I call you now? Messenger of the gods? Descended angel? Or Hero?"

"You even know that?" Qin Chu touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed; he always felt a little ashamed of these forms of address.

"Bars are always hubs for news," Candice smiled. "Besides, I'm a spy. I wouldn't say I know everything that happens in Oville Imperial City, but I definitely know more than you can imagine. By the way, what do you think our relationship is now? Lovers? Wouldn't that be more exciting?"
