Dear, Time to Take Your Medicine!

So disgusting. I wanted to throw up.

"Especially you. You absolutely must keep your temper under control," Rosweisse warned.

Gulp... Ekaterina reluctantly nodded. "For Jello, I'll endure it."

"Damn it, one day I'll butcher him with the cruelest methods possible!"

"Good. Then next..." Rosweisse stood up and glanced at Ekaterina. "You need to change into another outfit first..."

"Change clothes? What for?" Ekaterina looked blankly at the armor on her body.

"Please, we're about to go see Qin Chu."

"Are you planning to wear that suit of armor? Hard metal—even if it bumps against a man, he won't feel a thing. You need to change into something more elegant, more... seductive. Understand?"

Thanks to Liangdao Meimao and Nanyu Qinghuan for the monthly passes. Thank you for the support.

Chapter 36: Every sacrifice was for Lord Jello! (2)

The Nobles' District.

On the clean, orderly streets, two beautiful women walked side by side.

"Rosweisse, do I really have to dress like this? It's so uncomfortable," Ekaterina complained.

Her face was full of regret. Had she known she would suffer like this, she would never have made that suggestion.

She had taken off her familiar armor and replaced it with a gown that clung tightly to her skin. Its blazing crimson color, paired with her equally long red hair, made her look like a walking flame.

Ekaterina had an exceptionally fine figure. Even Rosweisse, who was very confident in herself, had to admit that her older sister's body far surpassed her own, second only to Athena's.

And this gown was especially form-fitting.

Ekaterina had trained in martial arts year-round, leaving her tall, fit, and shapely. The fitted gown outlined alluring curves between her breasts, waist, hips, and legs. Below her flat stomach, a pair of straight, soul-stealing long legs stretched down, while the high-slit skirt revealed two pale, beautifully lined thighs whenever she moved.

As they walked, the number of people turning back to look was off the charts.

The burning gazes of the men earned fierce glares from Ekaterina every time. She was on the verge of losing it and beating someone up.

But what Ekaterina found most unbearable were the red high heels on her feet. When had she ever worn such things? She felt as though her body swayed with every step, and those slender heels seemed liable to snap at any moment.

"Otherwise? Were you planning to wear that suit of steel armor?" Rosweisse rubbed her forehead helplessly. "Please, haven't you noticed? That outfit of yours can only scare men away."

"The moment Qin Chu sees you, he'll be afraid. How could he possibly fall for you?"

Rosweisse glanced at Ekaterina's chest. Tch, growing that big was shameless.

"Let's go. Just remember what I told you. No matter what happens, don't lose your temper. Qin Chu's tastes are a little different from those of ordinary men."

After another reminder, Rosweisse pulled Ekaterina onward.

Fortunately, Ekaterina herself was extremely strong and adapted well. Though she still felt awkward all over, by the time they reached the palace entrance, she could at least walk steadily instead of stumbling crookedly about.

Inside the room, Qin Chu was calculating the time.

Rosweisse and Ekaterina should be arriving soon.

Over the past few days, Qin Chu had devoured several hundred Demonic Beasts lurking within the Imperial City. Maritis and Nicholas had generally captured and restrained them alive, after which Qin Chu would put on a show of inspecting them and seize the chance to devour them completely, greatly increasing his strength.

He was now level thirty-nine.

There was no helping it. After breaking through level twenty, the experience required rose exponentially. A single Phantom Demon had once let Qin Chu soar to level thirteen as though riding a plane, but now it took dozens of Demonic Beasts to raise a single level.

Though the pace of leveling had slowed, his combat power was steadily improving, especially his magic power. After all, the Demonic Beasts he devoured were mainly Phantom Demons, the creatures best suited for infiltration.

Qin Chu's growing strength had also aided Saya's recovery.

He did not know exactly how much of her power Saya had recovered, but at the very least, her manifested form had become much clearer than before.

Saya was still sitting on Qin Chu's shoulder, lazily sprawled atop his head, her tiny hands casually playing with his hair. "Hey, Ekaterina and Rosweisse are about to arrive. You'd better keep your emotions under control. Don't let them spot any flaws."

Life was like a play. Both sides were acting; it depended on whose performance was more convincing.

The unfair part was that one side had read the script beforehand.

"You need to understand that although your strength is growing quickly, you're still no match for those two women."

"Are you worried about me?"

"Hehe, keep dreaming your spring and autumn dream. I don't care whether you live or die, but if you die and drag me down with you, that'll be troublesome."

"That really hurts." Qin Chu bantered familiarly with Saya. "But don't worry. I've already adjusted my mindset. There absolutely won't be any problems."

"My acting can stand up to scrutiny."

As the two spoke, a knock sounded at the door.

They were here.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Rosweisse." Sure enough, Rosweisse's voice came from outside.

This woman was exceptionally skilled at disguise—not the Shapeshifting of a Phantom Demon, but the concealment of her true emotions. She clearly hated Qin Chu to death inside and wanted nothing more than to eat his flesh raw, yet her voice remained sweet and coquettish, without the slightest trace of anger.

Saya glanced toward the door. Though a thick wooden door stood between them, it could not block her sight at all.

"Just as you said, there really are two of them."

"Ekaterina came too."

Qin Chu did not answer Saya. He merely smiled, casually ruffling his hair with both hands until it went from neat to messy like seaweed. He also stained his clothes with quite a bit of dirt, deliberately making himself look disheveled.

Only after finishing all that did Qin Chu stand up.

The instant he opened the door, Rosweisse's tall, slender figure appeared before him. She still wore her pure-white saintess robes, radiating a sacred aura.

"Ah, Miss Rosweisse, I'm very sorry. I look rather improper at the moment!"

"As you know, I've been busy these past few days clearing out the Demonic Beasts lurking within the city. Although I'm mainly responsible for finding those damned, filthy rats, while Nicholas and Maritis do most of the fighting, I still end up in a bit of a mess sometimes..."

Qin Chu prattled on, then suddenly noticed Ekaterina behind her.

The flame-like woman seemed to radiate the scorching heat of the blazing sun, even giving Qin Chu the illusion that his eyes were about to be burned blind.

Visibly, Qin Chu's gaze immediately stiffened. He stared motionlessly at Ekaterina.

Another damned enemy had appeared.

The woman who had once, after getting drunk, hooked an arm around his neck and complained to him that those men had no taste, that not a single man was willing to marry her...

The woman who had even drunkenly asked him whether he wanted to marry her...

The woman Qin Chu had once respected as though she were his own elder sister.

He had treated her as an elder sister, but she had only treated him as a clown.

Even the final plan to trap and kill him had counted Ekaterina among its masterminds.

She had fought at his side all along and been the companion who spent the longest time with Qin Chu. Once, Qin Chu had thought Ekaterina was merely worried about him. Looking back now, perhaps she had only wanted to learn his background and weaknesses.

The images flashing through his mind instantly provoked Qin Chu.

The Authority Forced Calm activated more than a dozen times in a brief instant.

Just as in his first run through life, that flame-like gown flaunted its owner's fierce wildness. Against the gown's crimson reflection, the pale skin at her chest stood out all the more, stealing Qin Chu's gaze.

She was clearly already over thirty, yet time had not left the slightest mark on Ekaterina. Her body remained fit and springy, her skin delicate and gleaming.

He still remembered that when he first met Ekaterina, his gaze had been stolen for nearly half a minute. He had almost completely fallen into that enormous evil, only to be jolted awake by Rosweisse's dissatisfied cough.

This time, Qin Chu did not dare stare for too long.

His cheeks reddened as he shifted his gaze aside. He feared that if he kept looking, he might no longer be able to suppress his rage.

He had just been boasting to Saya that he had already adjusted his emotions and that his acting would absolutely be fine. Now, it seemed he was still far from it!

That appearance made Rosweisse somewhat disdainful. It was almost exactly the same as his reaction when he first saw her. This man was too easily embarrassed—he turned red the moment he saw a slightly outstanding woman.

Rosweisse felt that she was gradually getting a handle on Qin Chu's personality.

Though this man was a Hero, he must have been some lowly person from the very bottom of society in his original world. That was why he had developed such an inferiority complex. He blushed in the face of outstanding women, and only before lowly women like Angelica could he show a normal attitude.

Because before Angelica, a maid, this man could reclaim his confidence and dignity as a man.

Perhaps that was the real reason Qin Chu had chosen Angelica?

While Qin Chu had his head turned in another direction, Rosweisse and Ekaterina exchanged a look. Rosweisse gestured toward Qin Chu with her lips.

Ekaterina's face held an indescribable disgust. She knew what Rosweisse wanted her to do.

Her body resisted intensely. Her lower abdomen churned continuously, and she felt as though she might vomit at any moment.

For Jello.

Ekaterina repeated those words in her heart again and again, strengthening her resolve.

She adjusted her expression into a stiff smile. Her lips trembled as she spoke in a flat, reciting voice:

"Ah, so this is the Hero. Come, let... let big sister give you a hug..."

As she spoke, Ekaterina stepped forward and pulled Qin Chu into her arms.

Every sacrifice was for Lord Jello!

The second update is here. If everyone has recommendation votes, please cast two. Thank you.

Chapter 37: Can I Kill Him? (1)

Qin Chu's vision went dark. He could not see a thing, and both sides of his face were nothing but softness.

Speaking from the chest!

Although Ekaterina was one of the enemies Qin Chu hated most, second only to Rosweisse, in his first run through life, Qin Chu had treated Ekaterina like an elder sister.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred.

But he had to admit that Ekaterina's figure truly had nothing to criticize.

She was thirty-six, yet her skin remained as fair as a young girl's. Moreover, for Ekaterina, whose strength had long reached the level of the Goddess of War, her lifespan far exceeded that of ordinary people. Being in her thirties was not a problem at all.

Her years of training had given her a fit, sexy, fiery body. Her skin's elasticity might well have been the best among all the female members of the Hero's Party.

During his first run through life, he might really have been frightened by Ekaterina's actions, to the point that he failed to notice how dry and utterly emotionless her recited words had been.

Meanwhile, Rosweisse stood dumbfounded, staring at Ekaterina with a face full of shock.

Good heavens. She had only told Ekaterina to seduce Qin Chu a little. The road had to be walked one step at a time; taking too big a step made it easy to stumble.

Yet she had not expected Ekaterina to be this bold. This counted as making perfect use of her own advantages, did it not?

Still, this move might not have much effect. In Rosweisse's view, Qin Chu had a severe inferiority complex, especially around outstanding women of high status. That inferiority made Qin Chu brave enough to make moves only on women such as maids.

Speaking of which, it was about time.

Being held motionlessly in Ekaterina's arms fit the reaction of someone stunned by her sudden embrace, but he had to come to his senses eventually.

When Qin Chu felt himself beginning to suffocate, he immediately started struggling desperately. One hand landed on Ekaterina's fit waist, seemingly trying to push her away.

That was what he had done in his previous life. It was just that recreating something he had once done without the slightest difference was actually rather difficult.

Qin Chu only wanted to push Ekaterina away, but perhaps because the gown she wore was simply too smooth, his hand slipped and fell below her waist.

Beneath his palm was a shocking curve.

"Hey, is this part of your acting too?"

Saya, who had been enjoying Qin Chu's performance, could not help but complain when she saw that scene.

"No, that wasn't acting. That was purely an accident."

"I absolutely did not do it on purpose."

Qin Chu also defended himself in his heart.

Ekaterina's entire body instantly stiffened, seeming to tremble slightly.

Qin Chu could not see it, but Saya saw it clearly. Behind Ekaterina, strands of crimson hair rose without wind. Tiny flames danced atop the hair, and the temperature in the entire room seemed to soar in an instant, even warping the air.

Her pearly teeth bit down hard on her lips. She was clearly almost unable to endure it any longer, her gaze on the verge of madness as it fixed on Rosweisse.
