Bringing Nuclear Peace to the Sky Continent (1)

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

My throat started itching again for no reason.

Muse coughed violently.

After a long while, he spat a mouthful of thick, black phlegm into the corner of the stone wall.

He casually wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth with his arm, and scratched his scarred body a couple of times with his fingers, feeling a strange itch on his skin.

He seems to have really caught a cold.

Whether it was a misperception or not, it felt like the return journey was several times faster than the journey there, a full two days earlier, and Qin Chu had already seen the imperial capital of the empire.

At the city gate, a large number of people were still waiting to welcome the triumphant Hero.

After all, this is the Hero's first battle.

Not only did they repel the Magic Creature's attack, but the Hero also single-handedly killed the second prince of the Magic Creature. This news spread throughout the Imperial City with the gossipy Warren.

For a moment, everyone seemed to see hope.

The entire Imperial City was enveloped in an unprecedentedly enthusiastic atmosphere.

The empire's high command was consciously emphasizing this victory to boost morale, so Wadsworth, Augustus, and Saint Monica all personally appeared at the city gate to welcome the Hero back.

When the Hero stepped out of the carriage, the cheers around them reached an unprecedented level, with everyone praising Hero achievements.

Wadsworth was the first to rush over, his furry paws patting Qin Chu's shoulder. He was as carefree as ever, seemingly unaffected by the possibility of being cuckolded.

"Brother Qin, you're really amazing! Goodness, I never expected to achieve such great results on your first expedition. You even killed the second Magic Creature prince, Edrich. That kid slaughtered quite a few of our human experts." Whether it was genuine excitement or an act, Wadsworth's face was flushed with excitement, his eyes brimming with joy.

Laughing heartily, Wadsworth glanced at the girls following behind and spotted his daughter Carol, among them.

Every so often, Carol would report to Wadsworth on the situation at the front, especially the situation of the Hero.

He was very satisfied with his daughter's performance.

Although I didn't get much closer to Qin Chu, at least I became a familiar face to him.

Moreover, he performed exceptionally well in dealing with both the corrupt nobles and the Holy Son of the Earth Mother Church Cult.

It's a pity it was a son; then my position would be secure.

Augustus stepped forward with a broad smile, "Mr. Qin is indeed unparalleled in bravery, even far surpassing the First-Generation Hero, Jello. It is truly our good fortune to be able to summon you as the Hero of the Skyvault Continent."

Upon hearing this, Rosweisse, who was behind her, immediately felt extremely depressed.

She disliked hearing people compare Qin Chu and Jello, especially when they concluded that Jello was inferior to Qin Chu.

"However, Mr. Qin should also be careful..."

"Although you are powerful, that area is, after all, the territory of Magic Creature. It would be far too dangerous for one person to assassinate Edrich," Augustus advised with a smile.

Qin Chu greeted him warmly.

Saint Monica was right behind Augustus, but Zimmerman, for some reason, perhaps had something important to attend to, and did not come to greet Natia of the Sage Mountain.

Saint Monica truly deserves to be the head of the Earth Mother Church.

I'm not talking about body shape...

Rather, it refers to Saint Monica's temperament; at first glance, it exudes a sense of magnanimity and all-encompassing inclusiveness.

She gives off a soft and gentle feeling, and every move she makes exudes the charm of a mature woman.

Of course, Saint Monica's figure is indeed very forgiving.

Could this woman really be the leader of the Bliss Witch Coven? The difference in their demeanor seems too great.

Saint Monica bowed slightly, her soft hair falling down her cheeks. "Your Hero, I am very sorry. The Holy Son, Holy Daughter, and former High Priest of the Earth Mother Church have caused you great trouble. This is an error I made due to my lax management of my subordinates. I hope Your Hero will forgive me."

That being said, Saint Monica should be very happy now.

Former High Priestess Florence has departed.

The Holy Son died.

The saintess departed.

Several important positions in the Church suddenly became vacant.

The former cult leader's power collapsed almost instantly, because of Qin Chu's antics, Saint Monica could be said to have truly and completely taken control of the Earth Mother Church.

Despite not being involved in the operation at all, Saint Monica became the biggest winner.

This seemingly gentle woman possesses a venomous nature far beyond her appearance and demeanor. It is highly likely that Onions and Inas were deliberately arranged by Saint Monica, hoping that the two would die out there in some accident.

Qin Chu's mind raced with thoughts, but his face showed some fear. "Your Highness is joking. This is not your fault. It was Onions who tampered with the power of evil without authorization, which caused this consequence."

"Lord Onions is the holy son of the Earth Mother Church. I should have brought him back and handed him over to His Holiness for his personal handling."

"But Onions has been completely mutated, turning into a monster like Karthus, and I have no choice but to purify him."

"I'm very sorry, I overstepped my bounds."

Just as Qin Chu was communicating with Saint Monica, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his body, and the voice of the Flame Witch Phil echoed in his mind.

Since eliminating the eldest prince, Daiaboliq, Phil has been content to stay inside Qin Chu's body and use the power of Holy Light to repair his damaged and collapsing soul.

This unexpected appearance surprised even Qin Chu.

"Qin Chu..."

"This Saint Monica is nice."

For a moment, Qin Chu couldn't understand what Phil meant.

What does it mean to say Saint Monica is good?

The next second, Qin Chu realized what was happening.

It's the body.

Phil was merely a damaged soul, and could only temporarily reside within Qin Chu's body.

This soul still retains the power of Divine Authority, and if it were to break free from the suppression of the Holy Light within Qin Chu's body, Phil's soul could go berserk at any moment.

However, if a suitable body could be found, the situation would improve significantly.

Could it be that Phil is after Saint Monica's body?

No way! Phil didn't even fancy Ekaterina or Sylph's youthful and beautiful bodies before, and now he's actually interested in Saint Monica?

Isn't this Flame Witch's fetish a bit strange? A thing for mature women?

Most importantly, doesn't Phil hate impure bodies?

Phil, a former saintess of the Flame Sanctuary, detests all that is impure.

Ekaterina and Sylph were rejected by Phil precisely because Qin Chu had already deflowered them.

The Pope Saint Monica before us was, to any person, a mature, charming, and graceful noblewoman.

"Whether her soul is corrupt or not is another matter..." Phil's voice came again, "But I can feel that her body is pure."

Puff...

Qin Chu almost choked when he heard Phil say that.

God, what is this?

The most beautiful and charming woman on the entire Skyvault Continent, with her captivating allure, is actually still a virgin?

If I remember correctly, Saint Monica was married. Her husband was the leader of the Earth Knights Order Earth Mother Church, a powerful figure within the Church. Although he wasn't as strong as Saint Monica, he was definitely a master.

Could it be that the captain, despite his strong physique and powerful abilities, is impotent? Or perhaps his penis is too small to penetrate?

No wonder they've been married for so long and still don't have a son or daughter.

This news was so shocking to Qin Chu that he was momentarily stunned.

However, in her heart, she crossed Saint Monica's name off the list of suspects regarding the leader of the Bliss Witch Coven.

The place Bliss Witch Coven has absolutely nothing to do with purity!

After all, the place was filled with indulgence and depravity, and the members there, if not thousands of men killed, were at least hundreds.

Chapter 5 is here, and there will be an extra chapter today.

Chapter 271 Brings Nuclear Peace to the Skyvault Continent (1)

Saint Monica is still pure.

This news was absolutely shocking, but Qin Chu had an extremely strong ability to control his expression. No matter what turmoil was churning inside him, he didn't show it on his face at all.

He reassured Phil mentally that even if he was interested in Saint Monica's body, getting her wouldn't be so easy.

However, if he succeeds, wouldn't that mean the entire Earth Mother Church would be under his control?

That's interesting!

After exchanging pleasantries with Saint Monica for a while, the three of them personally led Qin Chu to the banquet venue.

This is the troublesome thing about the upper class; they always find all sorts of excuses to host banquets.

This time, the Hero achieved a great victory on his first expedition, even killing the second prince of the Magic Creature Edrich. Naturally, these upper-class people would not let this opportunity pass and would celebrate in a grand manner.

Right after the banquet ended, Augustus, Wadsworth, Saint Monica, Qin Chu, Rosweisse of the Hero's Party, and nobles of the rank of Earl or above from the Empire held a small meeting.

Compared to the banquet beforehand, the meeting that follows is the truly important one.

While the number of nobles above the rank of earl was not exaggerated, it was certainly not small. However, due to the deaths of many nobles in the previous two rounds of turmoil, their numbers dropped sharply, and for a time, even this meeting room could not be filled.

Besides the nobles, there was another special person in this meeting room.

It was a short man with shifty-looking eyes.

He possessed none of the air of nobility; his entire demeanor exuded cunning and sleazy, especially the two small mustaches at the corners of his mouth, which accentuated his sordid nature to the extreme.

All the nobles were seated, except for this one who stood hunched over, a fawning smile on his face, his demeanor completely out of place with his surroundings.

Qin Chu also knew this person.

His name is Lex.

Years later, this cunning and despicable man will become the richest person in the entire Orwell Empire... no, even the entire Skyvault Continent.

He controls all the highly profitable industries on the Skyvault Continent, including the production of military equipment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food processing.

They even controlled all the news media on the Skyvault Continent.

Lex's transformation from a moderately well-known businessman to a tycoon with immense wealth is truly remarkable.

The reason he was able to do this was probably because Lex joined forces with the members of the Hero's Party behind the scenes. With the Hero's Party members as his backers, and even using the name of the still-living Hero, Lex had the opportunity to control so many highly profitable industries.

Wadsworth remained seated in the meeting's chairperson's seat, his face beaming with smiles. "Brother Qin, please introduce yourself to Mr. Lex, a businessman and also a swordsmith."

"Every weapon he forges is a masterpiece among masterpieces."

"Brother Qin, you don't have a suitable weapon yet, do you? Let Lex forge one for you."

Lex's wrinkled face was beaming with smiles as he jogged over to Qin Chu, displaying an obsequious demeanor to the fullest extent.

He seemed to be trembling with excitement as he shook hands.

"I have long heard of the Hero's illustrious name, but I never imagined that I would have the honor of seeing the Hero in person today. It is truly my blessing, and to be able to forge weapons for the Hero is the greatest honor of my life."

Lex spoke tremulously, his face flushed red.

Qin Chu subtly withdrew his hand with a smile, "Then, Mr. Lex, I'll leave my weapon to you."

"Of course, of course," Lex patted his chest and assured him, "Hero, rest assured, I will use all my skills to forge a weapon worthy of Hero status, and I will definitely not let you down."

"Thank you very much."

Hehe!

Lex is indeed a very good swordsmith; the weapons he forges are absolutely superb in both appearance and performance, and are very satisfying.

Even after he became a great businessman, he still personally took charge of the maintenance and upkeep of Qin Chu weapons.

However, it was this damned bastard who added a hidden mechanism to his weapon, causing it to suddenly explode when Qin Chu was fighting the Witch. At the time, Qin Chu only thought that the impact of their battle was too strong and the weapon couldn't withstand it.

But Lex's crimes don't stop there.
