The Blessing of the Goddess of Holy Light
This shows that this evil organization is even more terrifying than imagined, and has a deeper influence on the Imperial Palace.
After a brief pause, Wadsworth continued, "While continuing the investigation is possible, and I believe we'll eventually find something on the Bliss Witch Coven, it will take far too long."
"And it seems the Bliss Witch Coven is preparing to make a move against Brother Qin. Don't you think this is a pretty good opportunity?" Wadsworth's eyes gleamed.
Qin Chu immediately understood that Wadsworth intended to use him as bait to lure the enemy out of their hole, so as to completely eradicate the cancer that had taken root in the empire.
The reason it wasn't brought up at the meeting just now is simple: this proposal would definitely be opposed by Augustus and Saint Monica.
That's why Wadsworth kept Qin Chu behind to discuss this matter.
Although Qin Chu was somewhat annoyed that this was being used against him, it was indeed a good opportunity to eliminate the Witches' Association.
Qin Chu was pondering to himself when he suddenly felt something was wrong with his wrist.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at his wrist; a burning sensation was emanating from where the Goddess's Hair was wrapped around it.
As if stimulated by something, the power of the Goddess's Hair has been activated.
That's not all; even the Sapling inside the plant was constantly swaying with three tender green buds!

Chapter 275 The Blessing of the Goddess of Holy Light (5)
The unusual appearance of the Goddess's Hair and the Sapling surprised Qin Chu.
Since taking up residence in my body, the Goddess's Hair and the Sapling have been very well-behaved. Except for the occasional time when Yue contributes her power during battle, they mostly just stay obediently inside my body.
The Goddess's Hair served as a means for Qin Chu to contact the goddess who was trapped in the Void.
This is the first time I've actively displayed such extraordinary phenomena, like today.
For a moment, Qin Chu was somewhat surprised.
He didn't rashly try to suppress the unusual movements of the Goddess's Hair and the Sapling, but instead pondered what exactly was going on.
Qin Chu's contemplation and surprise were interpreted by the emperor as reluctance by Wadsworth.
Wadsworth understood Qin Chu's resistance. Although he would definitely be prepared, and Qin Chu was indeed very strong, he was facing the treacherous and unpredictable Witches' Association, so he would definitely worry about the potential danger.
The strange changes to the Sapling and the Goddess's Hair didn't last long, probably only a few seconds, before returning to normal.
The Goddess's Hair was still wrapped around her wrist, and the original burning sensation had disappeared.
The Sapling also remained obediently within its body, without any abnormalities.
It seems the matter has been resolved?
Although he didn't quite understand what had happened, Qin Chu felt somewhat relieved since it didn't seem to have caused any trouble.
Noticing that Wadsworth was still watching him, Qin Chu coughed softly, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I seem to have been daydreaming."
"However, you don't need to worry. I will not refuse anything that is beneficial to the Skyvault Continent."
Wadsworth was overjoyed.
This time, he intends to wipe out the Bliss Witch Coven, hoping that his queen is not among them.
Meanwhile, Carol also left the conference room.
She didn't host a private party; instead, she participated in the later meeting as a member of the Hero's Party, but she didn't speak at all.
Carol witnessed all the disgraceful behavior of the nobles.
When Carol heard from Qin Chu that the Snow Woman, Blood Elf, and Succubus might be captured, the nobles' behavior only made Carol feel contemptuous.
Didn't these guys realize that Qin Chu was just bluffing?
In this world, verbal promises are worthless.
Moreover, given Qin Chu's personality, if he really captured all the Snow Woman Succubus, how could he possibly give them to you?
Are you dreaming?
Of course, those shrewd nobles couldn't possibly have missed Qin Chu's deception... But for those old foxes, since it was impossible to stop Qin Chu from accepting Heloise and Ieta, and they didn't dare to refute Qin Chu, they might as well pretend to be confused and let the matter pass.
Compared to those old foxes, Carol, though intelligent, lacked a certain shrewdness.
Carol was very unhappy with the atmosphere both at the banquet and in the conference room.
Having lived in the Imperial Palace since childhood, Carol's life was smooth sailing and carefree, a life that many people could only envy.
But this also fostered a somewhat twisted personality in Carol. Her nature was unwilling to be confined to a greenhouse; she craved something that could stimulate her body and soul.
As soon as she stepped out, Carol immediately stretched out her arms forcefully, completely lacking royal etiquette, her well-proportioned figure revealing sexy curves.
Suddenly, Carol's little nose twitched slightly.
The arm that had been raised high slowly lowered.
Carol frowned and took another deep breath... The air was thick with the smell of blood.
Innate ability – the Beast's Instinct.
Beast's Instinct: High-Tier Authority, granting you the vision of an eagle, the hearing of a bat, and the sense of smell of a bear.
Although the smell of blood in the air was faint, Carol still detected it keenly.
Since she had nothing better to do, Carol followed the scent of blood that wafted through the air, and before long, the princess appeared in a garden.
Looking at the bloodstains on the ground that hadn't been cleaned up, Carol's brow furrowed even more deeply.
She initially thought it might be someone accidentally cutting their hand, but when she got here, Carol realized that things weren't as simple as she had imagined; some remaining footprints were clearly visible on the ground.
There were still lingering Magic Power fluctuations in the air.
Was a conflict once held here?
Carol's quick-witted little mind sensed that something bad had happened. Her nose wrinkled slightly as she determined the direction from which the scent of blood had left and quickly gave chase.
After an unknown amount of time, almost leaving the Imperial Palace, Carol finally found the source of the bloody smell.
There were two guards supporting a motionless maid who appeared to be dead.
Could it be that a princess, in a fit of anger, beat her maid to death? Such things happen frequently in the Imperial Palace; after all, these princesses are almost all daughters of marquises and dukes, and they all have very strong tempers.
It's normal for someone who doesn't dare to lose their temper in front of their father to vent their frustrations on the maids around them.
However, Carol had a feeling that things weren't so simple. Most importantly, the maid's outfit looked familiar to Carol, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
A bad feeling began to grow in my heart.
Suddenly her eyes widened.
Carol was tasked with bridging the gap between the Hero and the royal family, but this princess was clever enough to know that directly ingratiating herself with Qin Chu would be ineffective. To close the distance, it would be more effective to target the women around Qin Chu. Therefore, despite being a princess, Carol still made a point of befriending Angelica frequently while on the front lines.
That maid outfit... she had seen it on Angelica before.
This woman is Angelica, Qin Chu's personal maid and also the most favored woman by Qin Chu side.
Carol shuddered, her face turning deathly pale with fear.
She even felt like she was about to faint.
That's it, it's really over.
This was the Hero's most beloved woman, and now she's dead in the Imperial Palace?
It's easy to imagine that, given Qin Chu's personality, he would definitely turn the Imperial Palace upside down. Forget about getting closer to the Hero; it might even lead to an irreconcilable blood feud.
Damn it, what on earth is going on here?
Carol didn't even have much time to think about how to solve the problem. Her body flew forward like a gentle breeze, and in an instant, she was blocking the way for the two guards.
"Stop! What's going on?" Carol didn't even notice that her voice had become shrill with fear.
Upon seeing her, Carol became even more certain that this woman was Angelica, and goosebumps instantly rose on her delicate skin.
The two guards, their faces blank, seemed not to have expected Carol to suddenly appear. Their heads were stiff, unsure of what to do, and for a moment, there was complete silence.
The guard's dazed look only fueled Carol's anxiety.
Just then, Angelica, who had been hanging her head and not moving, suddenly raised her head and took a deep breath.
The heart, which had stopped beating long ago, began to beat slowly again.
Her dark eyes quickly regained their light, and looking at Carol before her, Angelica uttered a hoarse voice. "... Kill them!"
The sound sent chills down Carol's spine. Was this really Angelica's clear, delicate voice?
As the two guards appeared to have bloodshot eyes, seemingly due to Angelica's resurrection, their expressions turned ferocious.
Although Carol didn't know what was going on, she reacted very quickly, without the slightest hesitation, and swiftly swung her long whip.
There was a loud cracking sound.
The long whip exploded right at the neck of a guard.
With a shattering sound, the guard's neck was instantly severed.
Immediately, the tip of the whip, like the sharp fangs of a venomous snake, snaked swiftly through the air, seizing another guard's throat. With a hiss, his throat was ripped open, and blood spurted out.
Carol's strength wasn't particularly great among the Hero's Party, but it was more than enough to deal with these ordinary guards.
Seeing that Angelica was about to fall to the ground after losing the support of the guards, Carol quickly stepped forward and caught Angelica in her arms.
Carol didn't even know how to describe her feelings.
It was thought that with Angelica's murder, the royal family, and even the entire Skyvault Continent, would be implicated. In his rage, it wouldn't be impossible for Qin Chu to choose to cooperate with the Magic Creature.
Even with her intelligence, quick wit, and unwavering resolve, Carol couldn't help but feel despair at that moment.
Unexpectedly, Angelica, who had been thought to be dead, inexplicably came back to life.
He even directly demanded that two guards be killed.
Carol felt as if she had suddenly fallen into hell and then jumped straight from hell to heaven.
Her small hands, which were clinging to Angelica, were trembling uncontrollably. Her lips were still ashen. She opened her mouth, clearly wanting to say so much and to understand so many questions, but for a moment, she simply didn't know how to begin.
After holding it in for a long time, she finally managed to utter, "Miss Angelica, what exactly is going on?"
Angelica was panting heavily, a slightly nervous smile on her face; she had won her gamble.
The Goddess of Holy Light is truly looking after me.
Life or death.
There was a ten percent chance that he could come back to life after dying, and he seized that tiny opportunity.
She had actually been alive for about a minute.
However, having just experienced death, Angelica was in an extremely weak state, her fighting ability almost completely gone. Angelica could only desperately suppress her heartbeat and breathing, waiting for her chance, until Carol appeared, and the opportunity finally arrived.
The taste of death is not pleasant.
Angelica did not regret it.
Her throat was moving as she gasped for breath.
Angelica didn't have much time to compose herself. Just a few seconds later, she suddenly grabbed Carol's hands. "Quick, take me to see the master, or... the emperor!"

Chapter 276 The Green King's Fury (1)
Angelica's face was pale, and her body was still trembling uncontrollably.
Although Carol had many questions she wanted answered, she knew through those eyes that now was not the time to ask. With a determined look, Carol picked Angelica up and rushed straight to her father's study.
At the end of the meeting, Carol saw her father invite Qin Chu to the study to discuss some important matters. If she went there now, she would likely run into the two of them.
Carol is quite skilled; with a light tap of her toes on the ground, her slender body can instantly leap forward a distance of more than ten meters.
All I could hear was the whistling wind.
The core area of the Imperial Palace was filled with maids and guards, and seeing someone running wildly while carrying a woman, they couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
But once they saw that it was Princess Carol, it wasn't surprising at all.
After all, given the princess's personality, it seems perfectly normal for her to do whatever she wants.
