Sylph Has Nowhere Left to Run (1)

If Natia and Qin Chu could improve their relationship, the status of Sage Mountain would immediately rise significantly... As for the cabbage being taken by someone else?

Let's just go ahead and do it.

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

If you don't get taken by the Hero, someone else will.

Zimmerman figured it out. Since he was going to be courted anyway, he might as well choose the best one. Natia happened to be interested in him, and it would also bring some benefits to Sage Mountain.

"Lord Zimmerman, have you forgotten our Earth Mother Church's Holy Maiden? Inas is also Grand Sage, not much weaker than Natia," Saint Monica said with a gentle and charming smile.

Inas frowned slightly, seemingly unwilling, but she had no way to refuse the Pope's command.

As the four individuals vied for the last spot, they began a friendly exchange, frankly sharing their opinions.

Qin Chu scratched his head helplessly... "Dignity, dignity..."

You are the most powerful and noble people on the Skyvault Continent. Isn't your current behavior undignified?

After a long while, Qin Chu suddenly coughed and said, "Everyone, have you forgotten that I have several people in my family...?"

"Angelica has always been with me, serving me. She is my most important maid. Whether I'm going out or not, I feel very uncomfortable without Angelica by my side..."

"Princess Antasia and I have a very good relationship. We've become best friends who can talk about anything. This sudden separation will make me very sad."

"And then there's Norma, Karthus's former fiancée. As you all know, Norma also possesses combat strength at the level of Grand Sage. She even protected me during Karthus's rampage."

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

What does the Hero mean by that?

Does he really intend to keep all his people and leave no benefits for anyone else?

Seeing the different expressions on the faces of the four people, Qin Chu tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair. "Gentlemen, what I mean is..."

"Who says Hero's Party can only have ten people?"

"Couldn't he have eleven, or twenty-one?"

Can't I have them all?

Hiss!

In an instant, everyone gasped.

Carol, Shirley, Inas... and even Natia, all had very strange expressions on their faces.

Wadsworth blurted out, "Seriously? You want it all?"

"Can your kidneys handle it?"

Pooh.

A person with over a hundred princesses has no right to say that.

Chapter 5, 4,000 words, is here. This is an extra chapter for the reward from Da Meng Qian Qiu CC. I still owe four chapters, but I'll make up for it day by day... I've been having insomnia for the past few days, and this is the third day already. I don't know why, I just can't fall asleep. I've taken some melatonin, but it's completely useless.

Chapter 191 Sylph Has No Way Out (1)

"You clearly have over a hundred princesses yourself, and now you're complaining that we want them all? Do you even have the right?" Qin Chu thought to himself, cursing Wadsworth's shamelessness.

Wadsworth clearly realized his slip of the tongue and immediately shut his mouth and said nothing.

As for the others, they all had strange expressions on their faces, and for a moment no one knew how to react.

This Hero is truly outstanding.

But isn't this personality a bit too much?

Qin Chu frowned, seemingly displeased with Wadsworth's words, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wadsworth, what do you mean by that? What kind of person do you take me for? Am I that kind of person?"

"You think I expanded my Hero's Party just for that?"

Wadsworth pursed her lips, inwardly muttering to herself, "Aren't you that kind of person? Don't you want to calculate how many girls have appeared around you in such a short time?"

You're not even human when you're acting like that!

Of course, Wadsworth wouldn't be foolish enough to say such a thing. He smiled and said, "Brother Qin, I misspoke. Don't take it seriously."

Qin Chu's expression softened slightly as he stood up, his gaze sweeping across the entire room. "Everyone, I, as Hero, am no different. We are all striving and fighting for the early restoration of peace to the Skyvault Continent."

"Our enemies are ferocious Magic Creature and eerie Evil God."

"They want to trample our land, to plunge our country, our cities, and our people into fire and death. The road to resistance is destined to be fraught with thorns, and I salute the courage of everyone who is willing to stand up."

Qin Chu placed his hands on his chest and bent slightly at the waist.

He then continued, "The Hero's Party is a sharp blade in the fight against Magic Creature on the Skyvault Continent."

"It's just that some unpleasant things have happened recently, causing people to have a strong distrust of the Hero's Party. We must rebuild that trust and not let this sharp blade rust. We need to make people understand that the Hero's Party is still trustworthy and worthy of their trust."

"Please believe me, everyone. My expansion of the Hero's Party is not for any personal gain; it is for the sake of this world."

Qin Chu's speech was passionate and inspiring.

"I just want to make this knife sharper and stronger, so that we can pierce the Demon King's heart with one strike."

Even seasoned veterans like Augustus and Saint Monica almost believed it... I don't believe you for a second.

I always felt that this Hero was a bit shameless; he could always find some high-sounding reasons for his actions.

Moreover, this reason is so compelling that it's impossible to refute.

Most importantly, there's no rule that says Hero's Party has to have ten people.

Because the First-Generation Hero, Jello, formed a ten-person team, they subconsciously thought that Hero's Party consisted of ten people. It was only after Qin Chu's words that they realized, couldn't there be more people?

That's great!

In this way, the four of them no longer had to fight tooth and nail for the last spot, and the whole matter was perfectly resolved at this point.

Athena, Sylph, Rosweisse, and Aili exchanged bewildered glances. Things were unfolding in the direction most unfavorable to them, and they were powerless to stop it.

The plan to revive Jello will inevitably face many hardships and troubles from now on. Whatever we do or say, we must avoid these newly joined members.

These women did not suspect that Qin Chu had deliberately sabotaged their plans. In their view, it was not surprising at all that Qin Chu would make such a decision, given his personality.

What was originally a difficult matter was resolved in an extremely easy way because of Qin Chu's words. Now, let's talk about something else.

They hoped that Qin Chu would leave the Imperial City and go to the battlefield.

Just as Qin Chu had predicted, the successive defeats at the front lines had severely damaged the morale of the Anti-Demonic Coalition. Furthermore, the deaths of one member of the Hero's Party and the fall of another only exacerbated the already dire situation in the war against the Magic Creature.

The Skyvault Continent desperately needs a victory to give people hope.

On this point, Qin Chu naturally patted his chest, stood on the moral high ground, and agreed with great enthusiasm.

Of course, we still need a few days to prepare and will not set off immediately, as both sides have many things to prepare.

The meeting concluded in a pleasant atmosphere.

Zimmerman took Natia back to Sage Mountain. He had many things to tell Natia... Even if she was destined to be taken advantage of, he absolutely couldn't let Qin Chu succeed so easily.

Augustus remained in the Imperial Palace, seemingly having matters to discuss with Wadsworth.

Qin Chu left the Imperial Palace with Saint Monica and the Holy Maiden of the Earth Mother Church, that one whose name was... what was her name again, Elise or the Holy Maiden of Inas.

Along the way, Qin Chu chatted casually with Saint Monica.

He could sense that Inas harbored strong hostility towards him. During his first playthrough, he didn't have much contact with Inas and didn't have much affection or dislike for him.

But given the other party's coldness, Qin Chu naturally didn't bother to approach her and make a fool of himself. He even felt a little strange; he had never had any interaction with Inas in his entire life, so why did this woman harbor such strong hostility towards him?

They didn't even exchange a single word.

It's utterly baffling.

This hostility also made Qin Chu somewhat unhappy.

Saint Monica, with a gentle smile, tried her best to ease the awkward atmosphere by sitting in the middle.

The leader of the Earth Mother Church Cult is a very tolerant woman who can fulfill any man's fantasy about a mature woman.

Although she is not young, she takes good care of herself, her skin is still delicate and tender, and there are no signs of aging on her body. Her full figure shows the charm of a mature woman to the extreme.

For men who are attracted to mature women, Saint Monica's allure is irresistible.

A faint smile always graced her face, making people feel comfortable and subconsciously fond of her... Only Qin Chu knew what kind of malice and evil was hidden beneath that gentle and charming face.

The two walked and talked, and every now and then Saint Monica seemed to be amused by Qin Chu's words, her fair fingers lightly covering her lips, her beautiful eyes narrowing into slits.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Imperial Palace gates. Saint Monica frowned slightly, her eyes looking somewhat gloomy.

Right at the Imperial Palace gate stood a young man dressed in a dark yellow Church robe, his clothes embroidered with patterns of soil and rocks representing the religion of the Earth Mother Church.

However, his attire differed from that of the usual priests, bishops, and archbishops.

The garments bear traces of platinum thread weaving, making them appear even more luxurious.

The young man was tall and slender with a handsome face. When he saw Saint Monica and Qin Chu appear together, his eyes suddenly brightened. However, Qin Chu could vaguely sense that the young man's gaze always seemed to be drawn towards the area next to Saint Monica.

Beside him, Inas, who had been wearing a sour face the whole time, had his eyes sparkle more when he saw the young man, his gaze revealing joy as well as a hint of worry.

Qin Chu immediately understood that the two were a young couple.

Qin Chu wasn't the kind of scumbag who would pounce on any pretty girl he saw.

The claim that the expansion of the Hero's Party was to save the Skyvault Continent was obviously a lie, but Qin Chu was definitely not as despicable as Wadsworth thought.

He already has Saya, Angelica, Violet, Antia, Candice, and even Antasia and Norma... He's not that interested in other girls.

The reason for expanding the Hero's Party is twofold. Firstly, those old geezers all wanted to plant spies around him, sneaking around and engaging in shady dealings when Qin Chu couldn't see them, which only made things more troublesome. Since that was the case, it was better to let these people join the Hero's Party directly. With these people in front of him, Qin Chu could more easily keep track of their movements.

On the other hand, it's because this kind of behavior is more in line with the persona they present to them.

As for whether these people have partners or are couples, Qin Chu doesn't care at all. He won't deliberately break them up. Whatever they want to do is none of my business.

The handsome young man seemed to have already guessed the outcome from the expression on Inas's face. He gritted his teeth, took a sudden step forward, and stood directly in front of Qin Chu.

Saint Monica's face was icy. "Onions, what are you doing? You mustn't be rude before Hero! Get out of my way!"

The young man named Onions was clearly afraid of Saint Monica, but at this moment he displayed great courage, suppressing his fear and staring down at Qin Chu with his eyes. "Are you the Hero?"

"I command you, let me join your Hero's Party."

Puff...

Is this guy brainless?

Qin Chu felt that this guy might be able to rival the First Prince.

You think you can order me around? Who do you think you are, giving me the right to give orders? If you spoke properly, Qin Chu might have listened to you a little, but this attitude really made Qin Chu want to laugh.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Saint Monica, Inas stared wide-eyed at Qin Chu, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Damn it, one of them acted all high and mighty, while the other had a cold, sour face the whole way, like I owed him money.

So now one of me is giving orders, and the other is waiting for me?

What kind of demons and monsters are in the Earth Mother Church Cult?

A few thoughts flashed through Qin Chu's mind, but his face remained as gentle as ever. "Oh, Lord Onions, the Hero's Party is already full, there are no more spots available, what a pity."

Inas's expression immediately changed. The saintess of the Earth Mother Church even showed some disgust in her eyes. For the first time, she spoke to Qin Chu, "You just said you wanted to expand the Hero's Party, to make this knife piercing the heart of the Magic Creature even sharper and more lethal..."

"Yes, I did say that." Qin Chu wasn't in a hurry. He simply shrugged and smiled leisurely, "We also need to be careful. It's good that the knife becomes sharper and more pointed, but it can't be too heavy, otherwise it will be troublesome if we can't lift it..."

"Therefore, I think the Hero's Party has expanded to its current state and is perfect; we shouldn't add any more members."

Just kidding, if someone like Onions joins the team, the Hero's Party will really become a clown crew.

Inas was so angry that his face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word for a moment, while Onions was furious, his eyes blazing with anger, and he seemed to want to rush up and grab Qin Chu by the collar.

He had only taken one step forward when Ekaterina's figure immediately blocked Zheng Onions's path.

The slender fingers of both hands were intertwined. A slight twist immediately produced a crackling sound. His red eyes stared at Onions: "Onions, do you want to be beaten? Do you believe I can beat your face into a pig's head?"

Although he was a very tall man, he appeared exceptionally short standing next to Ekaterina. The aura emanating from Ekaterina made Onions's throat bob incessantly, filled with inexplicable fear.

The woman's fiery gaze made him feel like he might be burned to ashes; she didn't care about his status and was really going to attack.

He glared fiercely at Qin Chu: "You just wait."

After saying that, Onions turned and left, with Inas quickly following behind.

After the two left, Saint Monica let out a weary sigh, rubbing her forehead with her delicate fingers, seemingly feeling a headache. Two seconds later, Saint Monica looked at Qin Chu: "Hero Excellency, please don't be angry. Onions, he..."
