Lord Jello, Love Me! (4)

This guy seems to be increasingly disregarding the decorum of high society.

Upon returning, Qin Chu remained alone inside the tent, where Saya, whom most people couldn't see, perched on Qin Chu shoulder.

"How are you feeling?" Saya asked.

"Killing, Desire... these are human instincts. Everyone has various impulses within them, and everyone has a dark side they don't want others to see. It seems that the effect of that thread is to amplify the dark side of humanity without limit."

"That's why this usually self-disciplined holy son would do something so impulsive that it leaves people speechless."

"It is precisely because of the expansion of the dark side that Onions would pursue women he would normally disdain, and then ruthlessly kill them afterward to prevent his own affairs from being exposed."

Qin Chu's inner darkness is revenge... Therefore, when Qin Chu uses his consciousness to touch that thread, he feels a strong urge to be violent, murderous, and destructive.

"Onions has already begun to change, and it's certain that complete alienation is an inevitable outcome, although this process may take a long time."

Saya tilted her head, laughing like a little devil, "So what are you going to do? You still have one left. Are you going to put that thread into Onions's body as well?"

"If I had the chance, I'd really like to try what would happen if I used two threads."

"However, there's no need to rush for now. I'm more interested in Sylph's situation."

"It was just a single thread, yet it caused Onions to undergo such a rapid transformation. Why is it that Sylph, with twenty-six threads in her body, has been able to maintain her sanity all this time?"

"I don't think Sylph has the ability or will to resist the erosion."

"That is indeed questionable. Perhaps Sylph's body possesses some kind of peculiarity unknown to us, allowing her to suppress the urges brought on by the corruption?"

"Conversely, could the real purpose of these threads be to suppress Sylph's uniqueness?"

Saya put forward several hypotheses, each of which sounded plausible.

The only way to find out the truth is to remove all these threads from Sylph's body, one by one. This will not be easy and will be a very long process.

Qin Chu suddenly discovered that the threads inside Sylph's body were actually extremely sharp weapons, enough to give Qin Chu a sufficient reason to kill someone.

By inserting the silk thread into the body of an enemy, that person will soon mutate, becoming a monster amidst disgrace and ruin, before being purified by Qin Chu in the name of justice.

He eliminated his enemy and gained fame—a win-win situation.

"Are we being watched from all around?"

"Athena is pacing around the tent, seemingly wanting to come in, but still hesitant," Saya said after sensing her surroundings. "I didn't detect any magical fluctuations from her."

Athena's recent reactions have been a bit strange.

This happened while she was lingering around Qin Chu. She seemed to want to get closer to Qin Chu, but ultimately gave up due to some concerns and fears.

Could it be that woman has realized that the so-called Jello is actually her imposter?

This is not a good sign.

Qin Chu had thought this matter could be kept secret for much longer, but it seems Athena is even smarter than he imagined.

Such a clever woman is definitely not a good thing for Qin Chu. Perhaps he should find some time to deal with Athena's matter.

The image of Candice appeared in Qin Chu's mind. Candice was still in the Magic Creature's territory, acting as an intermediary in the transaction between Qin Chu and the Seventh Prince Ramon.

"Candice, inform Ramon that the transaction will take place in Pips Forest three days from now, when the moon is high in the sky."

"Be safe!"

After a brief exchange, Qin Chu immediately ended the communication.

Inside the Seventh Prince's palace, Candice pouted somewhat dejectedly.

Although Candice understood that Lord Horus was under constant surveillance, and that communication was extremely difficult every time they met, each contact was short-lived, as the longer it lasted, the easier it was to be discovered.

However, the last sentence, "Be careful," warmed Candice's heart.

The smile on her face vanished in an instant, and Candice quickly composed herself, turning to face the Seventh Prince Ramon, behind her. "Your Highness, that mysterious gentleman has sent a message."

He stated that the transaction would take place late three nights later in the Pips Forest.

Ramon's eyes suddenly lit up, and a burning passion surged through his chest.

With Ronald, a member of the Hero's Party, captured alive, and the news spreading far and wide among the Magic Creature in the territory, a large number of Magic Creature came to visit this executioner who had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of his fellow Magic Creature.

Ramon's reputation soared instantly, and he was beginning to catch up with the second and eldest princes.

In this short period of time, the number of Magic Creature coming to seek refuge in the territory has more than doubled, and even some prominent figures from medium-sized races have come to negotiate, hoping to gain Ramon's acceptance and protection.

This feeling made Ramon feel somewhat elated.

He really enjoyed the feeling; the effusive praise intoxicated Ramon.

But Ramon knew very well that this feeling was still a very, very long way from that of a true Demon King...

He stood up, deciding to personally check on Ronald's condition; he was an important commodity in the deal, and he couldn't let him be killed by those brutal Magic Creature.

He knew how savage his men were.

At the suggestion of the Goblin chieftain, Ramon set up a large exhibition hall... but it was really just a flat area surrounded by a large wooden fence.

In the middle was a huge wooden frame, and Ronald's two arms were tied to it, forcing his body to kneel on the ground.

The Goblin chieftain who made this suggestion is also in charge of the exhibition hall.

"My dear Goblin, how is the situation?"

The Goblin looked up at the towering Ramon, opened his mouth wide, and tried to speak as loudly as possible, "Your Highness, my brothers are all very happy!"

"However, for Ronald, it may all that's left is pain!"

Chapter Three is presented here.

Chapter 204 Lord Jello, Love Me! (4)

Pain?

Ronald must be in a lot of pain right now.

Ramon looked around at the group of burly men, a sinister smile and a strange look on his face. After all, Magic Creature were all brutal, and there were even a few enormous curly-haired gorillas...

Ronald's head slumped, his once smooth and silky hair was now filthy, his gorgeous dress was tattered, and he reeked of a strong, foul stench.

Several dark green Goblin were using water and brushes to help Ronald clean up.

Their actions were equally rough; the coarse brushes even left bloody streaks on Ronald's delicate body.

The Goblin chieftain wore a sinister smile and spoke in an evil voice, "Seventh Prince, as you know, the members of the Hero's Party are renowned among Magic Creature."

"Ronald is one of the most contemptuous of Magic Creature. Countless Magic Creature have died at Ronald's hands. Once this is publicized, countless Magic Creature will want to see just how pathetic and wretched the once invincible Hero's Party has become."

"Nothing excites Magic Creature more than watching such a high and mighty creature fall into the Abyss... It's absolutely the most wonderful sight."

"Many more Magic Creature want to experience being with the young master for themselves."

"The queue has already stretched to seven days in advance."

"Those Magic Creature would rather spend a huge sum of money than give up this precious opportunity to personally repair the members of the Hero's Party."

For Magic Creature, watching their once high and mighty being, who slaughtered Magic Creature at will, fall into the Abyss is indeed a very gratifying thing. Even their close friends and relatives who were not killed by Ronald want to come and see how miserable their young master is now.

Many Magic Creature, lacking sufficient funds, even offered to pay for just one punch.

The more miserable the young master was, the more delighted the Magic Creature became.

For Ronald, his personality, his dignity, everything he had vanished at that moment. He wished that Ramon had killed him that night, so he wouldn't have to endure this endless humiliation and torment.

If there is a hell, then he is now in the deepest part of hell.

"Your Highness Ramon, in just these few days, Ronald has already earned you thirty million in revenue!" the Goblin chieftain exclaimed excitedly.

The actual amount was 60 million... The Goblin chieftain secretly pocketed a very small portion.

The thought of handing Ronald over to that mysterious man in three days, and losing such a precious source of wealth, made Ramon feel a pang of heartache.

However, compared to that, the help from that mysterious person was more important.

So Ramon suppressed his desire to retain this source of income and carefully instructed, "Goblin, cancel all the appointments for three days from now."

The Goblin chieftain was taken aback. "Your Highness, why is this? This is a lot of money..."

"Do as I say!" Ramon's voice began to fill with authority; he would not allow his subordinates to question his decisions.

The Goblin chieftain's body began to tremble involuntarily; he dared not say another word.

"Also, no matter what happens, you absolutely must ensure Ronald survives. We can't let him die so quickly, understand?" Ramon spoke again.

"Your Highness, we have made ample preparations, and have arranged for healing Magic Creature to guard the area. Ronald's death will absolutely not occur."

Satisfied after receiving the Goblin chieftain's assurance, Ramon departed.

On the other side.

Demon King's Palace!

The tall and slender Demon King remained locked up in his research lab.

Before him were various purified and refined magical elemental liquids, ores, and herbs.

A strange, nauseating smell filled the air.

Large shards of debris and broken glass bottles were scattered on the ground. Undoubtedly, the previous research had failed once again, which caused a look of anger to appear on the Demon King's face. His dark red eyes rolled constantly.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, followed by a sharp roar, "Damn it, I've given you my body long enough, but you haven't produced enough results..."

I have every reason to suspect that you are fooling me.

"Shut up..." His voice suddenly turned low again. "Almost there, almost there, just one more step... the final step!"

Then, his voice softened again, becoming seductive. "There are no secrets between us. We know all each other's secrets, don't we? You should know best whether I've fooled you or not!"

"We both know the truth about this world. Let's be patient for a little longer; we'll be free soon."

On the other side.

Inside the camp.

After finishing his message with Candice, Qin Chu began to think about Athena's situation outside.

This is a problem.

Athena's recent reactions have been very strange, elusive and distant. Sometimes Qin Chu could sense Athena's longing, but other times he could feel hesitation in her eyes, as if she was worried about something or doubting something.

This made Qin Chu seriously doubt whether there was something wrong with his previous performance.

Or perhaps it's because Athena hasn't seen the non-existent Jello in recent times, which has aroused Athena suspicion?

Should we bring Jello back in to further solidify his control over Athena?

Right outside the tent, Athena's full and beautiful body was pacing back and forth.

Since her last conversation with Anthony, Athena has been gripped by deep fear. She cannot face Qin Chu, and the mere sight of his face inevitably plunges her into suspicion.

Anthony said that the amount of memories and soul that can be contained in a single Soul Fragment is very limited.

But why did that Jello seem to know everything about his situation? It was as if he knew everything.

Looking back now, it all seems incredibly bizarre!

Even the slightest anomaly made Athena doubt her previous judgment.

She was terrified. What if all of this was Qin Chu's scheme...? This man found Jello's Soul Fragment, absorbed the memories contained within, and then learned about Jello through various records and other people's accounts. He deliberately set up this trap to obtain her and Ekaterina's bodies...

The thought of the consequences sent chills down Athena's spine.

Their innocent bodies had already been defiled by that bastard Qin Chu. If that were the outcome, Athena would definitely collapse.

What terrified Athena even more was that if this were true, it would mean that Lord Jello's remnant soul had likely been absorbed or even shattered by Qin Chu, meaning Lord Jello would never be able to be resurrected.

But even if Qin Chu knew what Lord Jello had been through, could Qin Chu really imitate that warm and reassuring aura?

On one hand, there is doubt, and on the other hand, there is denial of one's own doubts.

Athena is caught in a deep dilemma.

She wanted to be alone with Qin Chu, and ideally see Jello again to confirm her judgment, but fear held her back.

Hmm... um!

Just then, a muffled groan filled with pain suddenly came from inside the tent, as if the person inside was in great distress.
