The Grudge of Having Your Wife Stolen (3)
Upon seeing the creature's face, Qin Chu immediately recognized its Magic Creature.
A prince who is both fierce and powerful, yet not as foolish as Ramon.
One of the strongest contenders to become the next Demon King.
But what did this guy just call himself?
Traitor?
Qin Chu couldn't understand. How dare you, a Magic Creature, call us Hero traitors? Where did you get the nerve?
Edrich probably doesn't know he's Hero yet, right?
Although Ronald had shed his Horus disguise to make sure Ronald knew who had framed him, he had not met Edrich.
But now, looking into Edrich's fiery eyes, it was as if he and Edridge had a blood feud, a hatred that could steal his wife.
Where does this inexplicable hatred come from?
Upon seeing Edrich appear, Ileta, the Daughter of Death, seemed somewhat frightened and instinctively moved a little closer to Qin Chu.
She really likes Qin Chu.
This is not love.
Rather, it was Qin Chu's soul that gave Ileta a very comfortable feeling.
Qin Chu's soul, like the sun in the sky, radiated a bright and scorching light. Ileta had encountered far too many souls, most of which were filthy and unclean.
Even so-called good people and heroes have filth in their souls, it's just a matter of degree. Although the light of their souls is bright, it will not shine like the sun like Qin Chu's.
Seeing Qin Chu torture, humiliate, and brutally kill Ronald, Ileta knew that Qin Chu was definitely not that pure either; there must be a dark side in his soul, but the light in his soul was enough to suppress all darkness.
The light even seemed to suppress the boundless resentment that had accumulated on Ileta over thousands of years. The pain that burned, eroded, and harmed her soul and body every moment seemed to have lessened considerably.
That feeling made Ileta feel very comfortable; she hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time.
She even felt that her heart, which hadn't beaten for a thousand years, seemed to be beating again.
Ileta's intimacy and dependence on Qin Chu only made Edrich, the second prince of the Magic Creature, twist his handsome features and his eyes blaze with fury.
His throat was wheezing heavily, and he let out a suppressed roar of Wrath:
"You bastard, get away from Miss Ileta!"
Just then, Ileta took a deep breath and suddenly reached out to wrap her arms around Qin Chu's arm. Although her heart had long since stopped beating, her soft, still vibrant body leaned directly against Qin Chu.
Qin Chu's arms were wrapped around Ileta's chest, but unfortunately, they couldn't be fully covered.
Their relationship immediately became much closer.
Edrich's body trembled violently.
Qin Chu already understood what was going on; it was a melodramatic scheme to use him as a shield.
Sure enough, the next second, Ileta mustered her courage and spoke to the Second Prince Edrich in the distance, "Edrich, this is my boyfriend... I already have a lover, so please stop bothering me."
Edrich was instantly struck a heavy blow; his face turned ashen, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
Qin Chu felt a little sorry for him.
"Miss Ileta ..." Qin Chu touched his nose, not shaking off Ileta's arm. "Next time, could you tell me in advance? So I can be mentally prepared."
Ileta looked apologetic. "I was going to say it, but I didn't have time..."
"Please, Hero, help me!"
Ileta pleaded softly.
Edrich, that Magic Creature prince, has quite good taste.
Although the combination of one being Magic Creature and the other a human seems a bit odd, if we put it another way—one Magic Creature and the other Witch —the strange feeling immediately disappears.
"Hero, is it alright if it's just a temporary role? I didn't originally intend to do this, but I didn't expect that Hero could resist the effects of death energy, so I had this idea."
Ileta placed one small hand on her chest, her large, watery eyes gazing upwards at Qin Chu.
That gaze is very deadly.
Strangely enough, when Rosweisse did the same thing, Qin Chu only felt it was pretentious and disgusting, but Ileta did it, he felt...
So cute!
There's a kind of pitiful feeling about them.
This was something Qin Chu simply couldn't refuse. He took a deep breath and reluctantly agreed.
"You just said that both the eldest and second princes are trying to expand their power and influence. The eldest prince is preparing to subdue the Flame Witch. Could it be that the second prince has his eye on you?"
Ileta nodded with a bitter expression. "Actually, Prince Edrich has been harassing me for a long time."
"That happened many years ago. I was purifying my soul on the battlefield when Edrich happened to run into me."
"This Magic Creature prince directly declared that he had fallen in love with me and wanted me to be his bride..."
"I was startled by what he said and ran away immediately. Who would have thought that this guy would keep bothering me ever since?"
"I thought he would give up after a while, but I didn't expect that it's been several years and Edrich is still relentlessly pursuing me."
Ileta looked distressed.
"Isn't Edrich afraid of your death aura?" Qin Chu asked curiously.
"I'm afraid, but he's very strong and has high mental power. Although he can't be completely immune like you, he can resist to some extent and is one of the few who can get close to me," Ileta replied.
However, one can only get close; touching someone like Qin Chu is absolutely forbidden, as the death aura would instantly kill them.
After a pause, Ileta pouted and muttered, "So annoying."
If Edrich heard those words, "So annoying!", I wonder how heartbroken he would be.
Although he couldn't hear it, he could at least see Qin Chu whispering intimately to the woman he admired, a sight that drove Edrich to the brink of madness with jealousy Wrath.
His body was trembling violently.
This guy seems, perhaps, probably... not just attracted to Ileta's strength, but seems to have truly fallen in love with Ileta.
Several seconds passed, and Edrich, whether from the shock of the scene before him or something else, began to laugh maniacally like a madman.
"Hahaha... I understand."
"Ileta, I understand everything."
"This is the man you deliberately brought here to deceive me, isn't he?"
"I know, these kinds of people are called... 'shields' among humans... Yes, 'shields,' right?"
"Still trying to deceive me... Useless Ileta, you don't need to hide anymore. No matter where you hide, even to the ends of the earth, even to the Abyss of hell, I will find you. In this life, you are destined to be my... princess."
"As for this man... although he was just used as a shield, he dared to get so close to Miss Ileta, so I will still kill him, using the most cruel methods."
Edrich made a somewhat perverse declaration.
It has to be said that Edrich's perception was really sharp; he was actually able to notice this, which caused Ileta's pretty face to change slightly.
Ileta wanted to get rid of Edrich's entanglement completely. She bit her lip lightly with her pearly white teeth, as if she was making a major decision in her mind.
A few seconds later, Ileta's slender body spun gracefully and appeared directly in front of Qin Chu, her lotus-root-like arms encircling Qin Chu neck.
This action left Qin Chu somewhat bewildered. "Miss Ileta, what are you doing...?"
"Don't speak, just kiss me..."
Chapter Two is presented.
Chapter 223 The Hatred of Having One's Wife Stolen (3)
Ileta gently closed her eyes.
It was only then that Qin Chu noticed how long her eyelashes were.
She seemed a little scared too; her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pinkish-white lips were almost touching hers.
"No..."
Before Qin Chu could react, he heard the wailing of the Second Prince Edrich in the distance.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that Edrich had completely lost the pride and elegance he possessed as the second prince of the Magic Creature. His hands were gripping his face tightly, his expression contorted to the extreme.
His bloodshot eyes were wide open, almost bursting at the corners.
His eyes were filled with fear and resentment as he stared at them.
She kept emitting cries like a wounded wild beast. "No, no... Ileta, please, please don't do this..."
"I love you so much..."
"You are mine, and no other man has the right to touch you."
He was howling.
That sight reminded Qin Chu of the scene in the arena where he saw Rosweisse kiss the eldest prince of the Orwell Empire.
In reality, however, his Wrath seemed completely unreasonable to Qin Chu.
Even though he loved Ileta didn't like him. Edrich, like a stalker, followed Ileta around all day, which annoyed Ileta and caused Ileta considerable distress, yet he was completely oblivious to it.
Qin Chu felt that Edrich looked quite pitiful right now.
Although he felt sorry for him, he knew very well what kind of person Edrich was. This second prince was extremely cruel, and among all the princes of the Magic Creature, he could be said to be the most cruel, far surpassing the eldest prince.
In the first playthrough, the second prince, in order to prove that he was better than the eldest prince, led his Magic Creature to completely destroy a kingdom. By the time the Orwell Empire's reinforcements arrived, the entire kingdom, including men, women, the elderly, and children, had been slaughtered without exception, and their corpses were taken away as food.
Moreover, he had promised Ileta that she would help him decipher the information hidden in the fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment, and in return, he had promised her one request.
Qin Chu is a man who keeps his promises very much.
Since you've promised, you have to keep your word.
So, Qin Chu glanced at Edrich with great disdain, then kissed Ileta's pink and white lips.
"Aaaaaah..."
In an instant, the mournful cries from afar reached an unprecedented level.
Edrich was almost unable to bear the intense impact of the scene before him; his eye suddenly cracked open, and a streak of blood rolled down his cheek.
They kissed.
The lips of Ileta, the Daughter of Death, a woman Edrich swore he would have for her at first sight, were stolen by a shameless man.
His body was trembling, and his heart was trembling too.
His shark-like teeth clenched together, his gums filled with blood, and a snapping sound was heard.
One of his teeth was even bitten to pieces.
He hated Qin Chu, hated that damned man who had taken away the woman he had his eye on.
He hated, he hated Ileta, this woman who wouldn't accept his feelings and was with other men.
A surge of killing intent filled his chest, and dense demonic energy churned across his body.
Love turned to hate.
At that moment, his heart broke, and he died.
His eyes even seemed somewhat empty.
Ileta was kissed by this man; she was no longer pure, no longer clean.
The kiss didn't last long; Qin Chu only kissed briefly before they parted.
The Witch's lips taste good.
Her lips were also very cold, but Qin Chu didn't find them repulsive.
Ileta seemed to be breathing softly; she appeared somewhat shy, one small hand resting on her chest as if sensing something.
Just now, when Qin Chu kissed her, Ileta couldn't be sure if it was just her imagination or if it really happened. Her heart, which hadn't beaten for a thousand years, seemed to flutter slightly.
Perhaps it was just my imagination, since my heart is still functioning normally and there are no fluctuations.
After a brief kiss, Ileta composed herself and looked at Edrich again. "Lord Edrich, do you understand now? I already have a lover. There's no future for us. Forget about it."
Hehehehe...
