If It's You, I'm Willing! (4)
It really is Antia.
Qin Chu was slightly surprised, feeling that Antia seemed a little different today.
How should I put it... it feels more realistic now?
On ordinary days, Antia, though beautiful, always appears hazy, with a layer of light gray mist over her skin.
However, Antia now lacked that hazy feeling at all. Qin Chu could see how delicate Antia's skin was beneath her armor, and he could clearly see her long hair swaying gently behind her as her petite body moved.
Suddenly, Qin Chu had a sudden realization.
"Antia, you've reshaped your body?" His voice was full of surprise.
In reality, because too many experience-stealing thieves resided in his body, although the energy contained in this drop of blood was extremely abundant, Qin Chu's own improvement was not much, only a level up, but his physical strength increased significantly.
The vast majority of experience points were taken by the others, especially by the Sapling; that little thing stole the most.
Qin Chu had thought that even if Antia gained some benefits, it wouldn't be too outrageous. He never expected that Antia would be able to reshape her physical body with the help of this energy.
A real human body.
Antia's lips curved into a slight smile, and she nodded gently. "Mm."
"I don't know what's going on either."
"However, although my body has been reassembled, I can sense that it is not perfect, or even incomplete. Perhaps it needs more energy to fully recover to its original form."
It's clear that Antia is very happy that she has recovered her health.
After all, she was a ghost.
There is always a strong longing for the body of a normal, living person.
"Oh, I see... Congratulations..." Qin Chu forced a smile, then abruptly turned his head to the other side.
He dared not look at Antia again.
I don't know if it's because Antia was naturally beautiful.
Or perhaps it's because of some abnormality in her own body, but at this moment, Antia seems incredibly charming and alluring.
Qin Chu worried that if he looked at her a couple more times, he might lose control. Antia's body had only just been formed and probably couldn't withstand any more abuse.
But the footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer.
Not long after, Qin Chu suddenly felt a hard, cold suit of armor pressed against his back, and a pair of delicate white hands wrapped around his chest.
Glug...
Qin Chu swallowed hard. "Antia, you..."
"This is the body I've just formed, and I want to give it to you!"
"May I?"

May I?
Antia's soft, gentle voice lingered in my ears.
She used an inquiring tone, which was Antia's habit.
Although Qin Chu treated her well, Antia always knew her place; she was merely a ghost residing in Qin Chu's body, dependent on Qin Chu existence.
Most of the time, she would ask Qin Chu for his opinion.
Qin Chu provided him with a place to stay, and his recovery to this point was all thanks to Qin Chu. As a tenant, he naturally had to give back in some way.
Antia witnessed everything that Qin Chu and Saya had just experienced, and to be honest, it frightened Antia a little.
However, she could also see that Qin Chu's current situation was very wrong.
If I could lower Qin Chu's body temperature a little, then...
Antia is willing!
That soft, gentle voice made Qin Chu's heart tremble slightly, and his breathing became a little rapid.
Qin Chu had a good impression of this girl who had almost the same experience as him, but Qin Chu almost never laid a hand on Antia.
It wasn't just because Antia was a ghost, but also because Qin Chu was worried that his rough handling might trigger some unpleasant memories in Antia's mind.
Antia was the strongest Valkyrie a thousand years ago.
A national Valkyrie.
Relying on her own formidable strength and personal charisma, Antia led a group of soldiers who could hardly be called elite troops to drive out more than a dozen invaders who had invaded the Orwell Empire and even fought their way to the capital, restoring the land to its former glory.
That war severely damaged only a dozen or so countries.
Since then, although the state still exists, it has never been able to pose a threat to the empire again.
A thousand years ago, the emperor of the Orwell Empire felt that Antia's power was a threat, and coupled with Antia's beauty, he wanted to take Antia into his harem and make her a queen.
After Antia refused, a series of events ensued: a banquet, poisoning, capture, burning, and sealing.
Antia's passionate yet tragic life ended in flames.
Qin Chu took a deep breath. "Antia, do you know what you're saying?"
"I know."
Aren't you scared?
"If it were you... I wouldn't be afraid."
After a brief pause, a sly smile suddenly appeared on Antia's face, "Or do you want me to give myself to another man?"
It seems that after having a human body, Antia's emotions have become richer than before.
Buzz!
The gentle voice caused Qin Chu's mind to go completely blank for a moment.
Will Antia be given to another man?
Are you kidding me?
I'll kill him.
The impulse in his chest completely overwhelmed him at this moment. He suddenly turned around, grabbed Antia's slender waist, and with a gentle hook of his hand, Qin Chu brought Antia's light body in front of him and kissed Antia's delicate cheek.
After Saya Nicholas and Antia took turns, the flames on Qin Chu's body finally subsided.
Saya is nestled inside Qin Chu's body and probably won't be appearing for a while; she's truly exhausted.
Antia was asleep too.
Her body had only just been formed and was not yet stable, so bearing Qin Chu in his current state was a huge burden for Antia.
Moreover, for Antia, this might be the first time in a thousand years that she has fallen asleep.
After Qin Chu covered Antia with the blanket, he turned and left the room.
Downstairs, Ekaterina and Sylph were waiting. They had some information to share with Qin Chu, but they had to wait until Qin Chu work.
Upon seeing Qin Chu come downstairs, both of their eyes suddenly brightened for a moment.
There was a vague, inexplicable feeling that Qin Chu seemed somewhat different; it was a feeling that was hard to explain.
Athena also came downstairs; she had finally woken up.
"What happened to Rosweisse?" Qin Chu asked Sylph after sitting down.
When it comes to serious matters, no one dares to be negligent.
Sylph cleared her throat and quickly replied, "Rosweisse... it feels different."
"Rosweisse now seems to have completely taken herself as the real Pope, bossing Ekaterina and me around with an air of superiority, as if we were her servants."
Qin Chu laughed. For the proud Sylph, this was indeed a difficult thing to accept.
"To mislead Augustus, Rosweisse deliberately spread rumors near Augustus that members of the Hero's Party wanted to harm you and resurrect the First-Generation Hero."
Sylph shrugged helplessly. "Augustus a pretty smart guy, but it seems he's really been fooled."
Ekaterina nodded in agreement. "I always feel like Augustus acting a bit strange lately. Sometimes, he unconsciously exudes a creepy aura."
"Furthermore, although Rosweisse's intentions are to deceive Augustus, I have a feeling that she might actually do something to you on that day... or at least to those around you."
As she spoke, Ekaterina glanced at Angelica, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Undoubtedly, Ekaterina was worried about was that Rosweisse might take action against Angelica.
If we were to name the woman Rosweisse hates most, it would undoubtedly be Angelica.
After all, seeing the maid who could be beaten, scolded, humiliated, and tormented at will suddenly turn the tables and become the girl who could stay by the Hero's side, it would be strange if Rosweisse, with her narrow mind, could accept it.
Previously, because her strength and influence were not strong enough, Rosweisse could only endure it.
But now, with Rosweisse's status within the Holy Church greatly increased, it's hard to guarantee that Rosweisse won't do something crazy.
Qin Chu's expression turned cold.
Just then, Athena's expression suddenly changed slightly; she gently touched her ear with one hand and frowned slightly.
After a while, Athena opened her eyes and looked at Qin Chu: "Over on Rosweisse's side, it seems another fragment has had its approximate location confirmed."
"Rosweisse hopes I can come over and discuss this matter."
Compared to the newly recruited members of the Holy Church, Rosweisse still seemed more willing to trust the former members of the Hero's Party, even though in Rosweisse's eyes, these people were all her servants at this moment.
Ekaterina showed no reaction to the news.
Sylph's eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
Qin Chu tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest. "Go ahead."
Be careful.
Athena nodded, stood up, and left.
Qin Chu stood up, glanced at Sylph, and Heloise and the others who had just walked in from outside, and said, "You should all stay in the palace for the time being and try not to wander around."
"In the coming days, the Imperial City will likely descend into chaos."
Walking through the Imperial City, Qin Chu headed towards the Commoners' District.
Candice's bar was closed today. But that didn't stop Qin Chu, who easily entered through the back door.
When Candice, who was pacing anxiously in the hall, heard the commotion and turned around, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Lord Horus, you've finally appeared."
Qin Chu felt somewhat helpless.
Horus is his pseudonym.
Candice knew her true identity, but she still habitually referred to herself as Horus, a name that held a completely different meaning for Candice.
"I used Message Magic this morning, but I couldn't reach you."
"I gave up after two attempts; I was worried you might be doing something important."
"Is there any news from the Magic Creature?" Qin Chu asked hurriedly, without offering any explanation. What could he possibly say? That he was busy with Saya Nicholas and Antia and didn't have time to deal with you?
It would be strange if Candice didn't turn against him.
Candice's expression also turned serious. "There are three important pieces of news. First, Ramon has sent word that the Third Prince of the Magic Creature is preparing to gather his forces and launch a large-scale attack on human territory."
"This third prince of the Magic Creature offended the Dark Witch Saya, Saya sealed his power and hung him on the tower for three days and three nights. Since then, his power has greatly declined and he has never recovered."
"But now, because the second Magic Creature prince is missing and presumed dead, and the eldest prince Daiaboliq, also seems to be dead, the third Magic Creature prince feels he's back to power... so he desperately needs a war to prove his abilities."
Qin Chu laughed, "Go ahead and fight."
A fight broke out.
The more exciting the fight, the better.
The more intense the war, the more important and valuable one becomes as a Hero.
