Sylph Still Needs Treatment (5)
Sylph was filled with shame and rage, wishing she could die.
It's all Qin Chu's fault.
If it weren't for Qin Chu, my body wouldn't have become inexplicably sensitive, and my mind wouldn't have been constantly filled with those messy thoughts, leading to such a huge loss of face.
I am now in this state entirely because of Qin Chu.
Sylph's appearance seemed to worry Qin Chu: "What's wrong? Were you injured when you fought the Magic Creature? Where? Let me see?"
His concerned expression left Sylph feeling somewhat helpless.
Please don't be so gentle with me, okay?
If this continues, she will become increasingly confused.
Biting her lip lightly, Sylph stood up and shook her head at Qin Chu: "I'm fine, it's just a small wound..."
However, under Qin Chu's persistent gaze, Sylph ultimately had no choice but to give in. She sighed again, unfastened the leather armor on her chest, and revealed the delicate skin below her collarbone.
A scarlet wound crawled across her snow-white skin.
There is a kind of beauty in imperfection.
A layer of Holy Light emanated from Qin Chu's palm, and under the light, the wound began to heal, and the stinging sensation gradually disappeared.
Sylph at her shirt beneath her leather armor, giving Qin Chu a complicated look. "How did you end up in the Magic Creature's territory?"
"And just like that, she saved me."
I feel like this is just too much of a coincidence.
"I heard that Eileen came back, and then you, Athena, Eileen, and Aili left again. Ronald seems to be trapped here with Ramon." Qin Chu said solemnly and in a low voice, "I was worried that you guys might be trying to risk coming here to rescue Ronald, and I was worried that you would encounter danger, so I rushed over."
"Thankfully, we arrived in time; we managed to save you."
In fact, he had arrived long ago and had been watching from a distance until Sylph intervened and saved Sylph when she was about to commit suicide.
He hasn't had enough fun yet, how could he let Sylph die so easily?
Moreover, he hadn't yet fully investigated the secrets within Sylph's body, and those threads of the Evil God could be very useful at times.
Sylph's feelings grew increasingly complicated.
This second-generation Qin Chu is truly a very good person.
Even though the former members of the Hero's Party never accepted him, he was still so worried about everyone's safety.
This poor thing has no idea that the former Hero's Party all wanted to kill you. They just used you as a tool to squeeze every last drop of value out of you, and that was when you died.
"By the way, where are Athena, Eileen, and Aili?"
"Athena went to support Muse, over at the Snowlink Mountains," Sylph answered without a second thought, then added with a hint of sarcasm, "As for Aili and Eileen, they should be safe."
"It's safe now, that's good." Qin Chu said, as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from his heart.
Judging from Qin Chu's appearance, if Aili and Eileen were still in the Magic Creature's territory, he would probably rush over to rescue them immediately, right?
What a foolishly good person.
Sylph's mood grew increasingly irritable, torn between Jello's resurrection and the overly kind-hearted Qin Chu.
The images of the two people kept flashing in my mind, repeating themselves endlessly, as if they would never stop.
At this moment, she desperately hoped something would happen to make her completely forget her inner turmoil.
Just like before, when they were going crazy inside the palace.
At those times, she didn't have time to think about anything else; simply catering to and cooperating with Qin Chu was enough.
She had accumulated too much frustration in her heart, and she needed to release it.
Sylph placed her small hand on her heart, mustered her courage, took a deep breath, and looked on with tender eyes.
"Your Excellency, Hero..."
"I think I may need to continue treatment."
"Oh? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Sylph pursed her lips, feeling her heart pounding, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused. "No, I mean inside my body, my soul, those things that are being corrupted and polluted..."
Qin Chu immediately understood.
Really.
Sylph must be very worried about the pollution that has been lurking in her body. She definitely needs to start treatment as soon as possible.
Qin Chu felt this made sense. "So, which treatment plan are you planning to use this time?"
Sylph's cheeks were flushed, almost as if they could be squeezed for moisture. "The... second type?"
"No, no, it's not the third one, is it?"
Sylph, something seems off about you.
Qin Chu smiled slightly, "Perhaps we can try several different methods and compare which treatment is better."
Sylph no longer cared that she was on a bare mountaintop; the emptiness seemed to make her even more expectant. Her small hands groped around on her body, as if she wanted to take off her leather armor.
But Qin Chu stopped him from doing so.
She looked at Qin Chu with some surprise. Did he intend to refuse to treat her?
"Um, what I mean is... let's leave it at that... so we can react quickly in case of any attack."
Qin Chu found a plausible reason for himself.
On the other side.
A dark jungle.
Because Sylph attracted all the Magic Creature, Eileen and Aili's escape went smoothly.
They have left Ramon's territory and crossed the borders of humanity.
But the two remained vigilant.
Night had completely enveloped the world, and the light from the kerosene lamp had dimmed slightly, struggling to dispel the surrounding darkness.
For powerful individuals like Erin and Ellie, the darkness doesn't significantly affect their vision. However, this is an area teeming with monsters, and only by venturing out cautiously can they survive longer in this dangerous world.
In the dense forest, the occasional chirping of wild birds and insects added a touch of gloom to the world.
Silver metal wires were wrapped around Aili's small hands, and a dagger was spinning lightly in Aili palm.
A long time passed, and it seemed that Eileen finally couldn't hold back any longer:
"Why was Sylph left there before? Why wasn't Sylph kept in stealth?"
This was a question that had been weighing on Eileen's mind. They understood each other perfectly, but this time, Eileen couldn't understand what Aili meant at all.
However, she still subconsciously cooperated with her younger sister.
Under the moonlight, Aili's orange eyes appeared somewhat crimson in the firelight, and the murderous intent that flashed forth in that instant sent chills down Eileen's spine.
"Who told that bitch to try and steal Jello?" Aili said with a grin. "Besides, Aili didn't do anything wrong. Aili didn't dispel her invisibility. She was just careless and the Magic Creature noticed her. It has nothing to do with me."
Eileen ignored the last sentence, her brows furrowing tightly. "Just for this reason, you're going to kill Sylph?"
"It was Ramon who killed Sylph, not me," Aili said, shrugging.
"Well, if that guy dies smoothly... if he doesn't, her fate might be even worse Ronald's, right?"
"Of course, the reason isn't just that." Aili stretched her arms and tried to straighten her chest, but her figure remained flat.
This made Aili a little annoyed, and she pouted.
"You might not know this because you haven't met Qin Chu, but... Sylph and Qin Chu are very close."
"That level of activity is clearly beyond surveillance, or deliberately trying to curry favor with or get close to Qin Chu in order to revive Jello."
"That woman isn't on our side. Keeping her around will only cause trouble sooner or later. We might as well get rid of her through Ramon. After that, no one will be able to find fault with us." Aili smiled innocently.
That smile sent chills down Eileen's spine.
Everyone thought that the people in the Hero's Party who were most deeply in love with Jello were Rosweisse and Ronald... Who would have thought that Eileen was absolutely no less so, and even more pathologically so.
"Then, one day, will you also see me as an obstacle and eliminate me as well?" Eileen's eyes narrowed.
Aili glanced at her sister with a puzzled look, then giggled and pounced on her, hugging the girl who looked almost exactly like her except for her hairstyle. She rubbed her head against Eileen's shoulder and asked, "Sister, what are you talking about?"
"You're my older sister."
"Have you forgotten? From childhood to adulthood, we've always shared everything together, haven't we?"
A smile spread across Eileen's face. Yes, the two of them had gotten used to this kind of life, inseparable.
They are best friends, and no one can separate them.
A long time passed before they finally parted ways.
"Sylph should have been captured alive by Ramon by now. I wonder how many days she has left. Let's go back as soon as possible." Aili's orange eyes swept around.
Several wisps of blue will-o'-the-wisp drifted through the dense forest, which frightened Aili.
When Ariel and Irene returned to the camp, it was already the early hours of the next day.
Reinforcements from the Orwell Empire have arrived.
Emperor Wadsworth issued an order appointing Barnal as a lieutenant general in the front-line legion in recognition of Barnal achievements. Although it was still not a particularly important position, Barnal had already surpassed the highest military rank that a commoner in the empire could achieve, breaking through the limits for ordinary people.
However, this team is somewhat special.
To boost morale, Wadsworth even sent a prince to the front lines as supreme commander, instructing him before his departure to listen to the advice of veteran generals.
It's obvious they've arranged for you to come here to gain experience and prestige.
Just be a hands-off manager; leave the military affairs to those soldiers with rich combat experience. Of course, it would be best if they could learn some command and combat techniques.
Even Wadsworth arranged for a prince to go to the battlefield, not to mention the other nobles. Each family sent a son to the battlefield. In order to protect these descendants from dying at the hands of Magic Creature, these nobles had to arrange a large number of private soldiers to protect them. As a result, the ranks swelled up instantly.
Compared to the nobles, these private soldiers were far more formidable in Wadsworth's eyes, and they were the ones Wadsworth was truly targeting.
The reinforcements brought a large amount of supplies, weapons, and provisions, making the entire camp exceptionally lively.
The leading prince knew very well that he had no experience in managing these matters, and with his father's hint, he directly pulled Barnal to his side to be the deputy commander.
All matters Barnal, including the placement and distribution of supplies, army training, and intelligence gathering, were dumped on Barnal, who was given the authority to command all soldiers, including the nobles.
If anyone disobeys, he has his backer and can report first and then execute them... which means he'll beat them up first, and if they still don't obey, he'll kill them.
After giving his instructions, the prince immediately led his attendants to the Hero's tent.
He was very clear about his real mission; frontline combat was secondary, at least not right now.
Where Hero exist, strengthening the relationship between Hero and royalty is my most important task.
What's more, this time he brought a special gift that Wadsworth had prepared especially for the Hero.
In addition, there is some information that the Hero is very interested in, related to the existence of the corrupted Crown Prince and the Bliss Witch Coven!
Chapter 5 is here, an extra chapter to make up for today's unhappiness!

Chapter 266 Is Sylph Dead? (1)
The prince's face was full of gentle smiles, and with his handsome appearance that was completely unlike Wadsworth, he looked like a gentleman.
Arriving at Qin Chu's tent, and seeing Angelica preparing breakfast, one wonders if this is the maid the Hero specifically requested on his very first day in this world.
Despite her humble status, she was indeed a beauty of unparalleled grace, no wonder the Hero was moved.
Upon seeing His Highness the Prince appear, Angelica quickly bowed.
The prince showed no arrogance, but smiled and nodded, "Beautiful lady, I am Warren Abshien, the seventh prince of the Orwell Empire. Could you please tell the Hero that I need to speak with him?"
Angelica was suddenly troubled:
"It's not convenient right now."
"Is the Hero dealing with something important?" Warren asked curiously.
