Dear, It's Time to Take Your Medicine!

Maggie begged bitterly.

Rosweisse was definitely far more than just the saintess she appeared to be. In secret, she also controlled a faction of her own.

These people had all been carefully selected: handsome men and beautiful women. They were gifted and intelligent, trained in Battle Qi and magic from childhood, and indoctrinated with loyalty to Rosweisse. They even had to cultivate the Bedchamber Technique. After all, women with considerable strength like this were more alluring to the opposite sex and brought a greater thrill of conquest.

Even now, Maggie had still never revealed Rosweisse's name.

Merely glancing at Maggie's blood-smeared face and collapsed nose, Qin Chu could not summon even the slightest interest. He ignored her pleas and instead put more force into it.

As Qin Chu's strength soared, the Devourer's effects became increasingly tyrannical.

In a short time, Maggie's body gradually shriveled up.

Two crisp cracking sounds utterly declared Maggie's despair.

Her Battle Origin and Magic Core shattered almost simultaneously, utterly destroying twenty years of cultivation.

Those azure eyes brimmed with thick venomous hatred.

Though Qin Chu very much wanted to properly torture this woman, he understood even better that delays bred trouble. After draining Maggie's Battle Qi and magic power, he flicked his hand. With a crack, Maggie's head sagged limply to one side. Her body twitched once, then never moved again.

Qin Chu then walked toward Sana, who was still writhing and struggling on the ground.

Sana's injuries were even worse than Maggie's. If she did not receive treatment immediately, she would die before long.

The Devourer further worsened Sana's injuries. Before her Battle Qi and magic power could even be fully drained, she lost her final breath.

After dealing with the two women, Qin Chu picked up Love That Topples Cities before walking toward Angelica.

Angelica's expression was utterly adorable. Her little mouth hung slightly open, as though she had yet to recover from the savage strength Qin Chu had displayed.

Only when Qin Chu stretched out his arms and gathered her weightless body into his embrace did a flush suddenly bloom across Angelica's pretty face. Her soft body gently squirmed in Qin Chu's arms. "Master, I can walk by myself..."

"Be good. I'll take you home." Qin Chu's voice was exceptionally gentle.

Angelica gave up struggling. Her little head rested lightly against Qin Chu's chest, where she could feel her master's heartbeat.

Her small hands clutched his lapels, unwilling to let go.

This was her happiness. She would never let it go.

Only after nearly losing it and gaining it once more did Angelica truly understand just how important this happiness was to her.

"Master, had you already been here?" Angelica asked softly after a long while, her voice seeming to tremble.

Angelica was no fool. Qin Chu's appearance had been far too perfectly timed. In particular, that line—the foolish Hero you people keep talking about—was enough to prove that Qin Chu had been watching from behind for quite some time.

"Yes." Qin Chu's response was brief.

He did not conceal anything. "Do you hate me?"

"No." Like a kitten, Angelica shifted her little head in Qin Chu's embrace and found a more comfortable position.

"Then am I worthy of your trust now?"

Angelica really was very clever... Qin Chu smiled.

"You are the only person I trust now..."

Saya did not count. She was a Witch, and the way she existed now was closer to a ghost.

Candice was merely a subordinate Qin Chu had disguised himself to deceive and manipulate.

Maritis cared more about how to fight Demonic Beasts.

The only one who was truly loyal to him, and whom Qin Chu completely trusted, was Angelica.

That answer clearly delighted Angelica. Her rosy little face shone with joy, and her eyes curved into slits.

Her hands gripped Qin Chu's lapels even tighter.

Then she closed her eyes slightly and gently raised her head. "Then, Master... can... can you kiss me?"

She wanted her master's reward, though for a maid, kissing was an act of overstepping her station.

Qin Chu looked down at Angelica and could not help laughing.

Then he lowered his head and captured Angelica's cherry lips!

The Road of Revenge Begins with Ekaterina (Reposted, the Previous Version Was Missing Half a Chapter)

This kiss lasted a long time.

They did not part until Angelica felt as though she were about to suffocate.

Once they parted, she felt a little empty.

Angelica wanted more, but she was also too embarrassed to ask. She worried that her master would think she was a lustful maid.

She cared more and more about the impression she left in Qin Chu's heart.

"Oh, right, Master..." Angelica quickly remembered something. "Those two nuns were..."

Angelica had now wholly devoted herself to Qin Chu. She wanted to tell him everything she knew. He must not trust the members of the Hero's Party. The Hero's Party had extremely close ties and deep feelings for Jello, the First-Generation Hero. When the Thirteen Sages had prepared to summon a second Hero, they had openly voiced their objections.

They did not welcome Qin Chu's existence.

Those two nuns should have been Rosweisse's people.

Though Maggie and Sana had never spoken Rosweisse's name.

And the Pope, too, was filled with malice toward the Hero.

But before Angelica could speak, Qin Chu softly shushed her.

"Anjie..."

That form of address made Angelica's heart skip half a beat.

The blush on her face spread all the way to her ears.

Her master had actually called her so intimately...

Qin Chu did not notice Angelica's expression. He merely nodded slightly. "Anjie, I understand better than you how terrible this world is."

Qin Chu's words made Angelica's heart tremble faintly. She instinctively looked up and saw a pair of eyes that concealed exceedingly complicated emotions beneath their gloom.

What kind of expression was that?

There was Wrath, fear, despair, hatred, and sorrow...

The only things absent were warmth and hope.

Angelica did not know what her master had experienced, but she had a feeling that it was even worse than the years she had spent under Rosweisse.

She was a little flustered. She wanted to offer some warmth to her sorrowful master, yet she did not know what she should do.

In the end, Angelica merely slowly wrapped her arms tightly around Qin Chu's body and pressed her cheek against his heart.

"No matter what happens, Anjie will always stay by Master's side."

"Forever."

Warmth?

That soft body pressed against him truly brought a different sort of feeling.

And those words added a trace of warmth to Qin Chu's heart as well.

Angelica wanted to keep looking at her master, but she could not. She had been tortured terribly and was exhausted. Her master's embrace was far too warm. Before long, Angelica actually fell asleep.

Qin Chu returned to the palace, placed Angelica on the bed to rest, and tucked the blanket around her.

"Saya..."

"This is for you."

Love That Topples Cities fell into Saya's hand.

"By the way, what materials are needed to improve Love That Topples Cities? And once the improvement succeeds, will its creator be you or me?" Qin Chu asked curiously.

"Of course it'll be you. After all, I currently exist by parasitizing you," Saya answered. "And the materials needed for the improvement must be taken from your body."

"In fact, the creator of Love That Topples Cities is not whoever brews the potion. It is whoever provides the materials for Love That Topples Cities from their body."

"What materials do you need?" Qin Chu was rather curious.

"Just a little blood..."

That was good, just a little blood...

Fortunately, it was not something horrifying and bizarre like eyes, tongues, or hearts.

"I'm going to begin improving this potion now. Hold out your arm," Saya said with a grin.

Qin Chu did not think it was a big deal, so he readily held out his arm.

Saya floated down from Qin Chu's shoulder and parted her soft cherry lips.

Speaking of which, Saya really was too beautiful.

There was absolutely no doubt about that.

A peerless beauty beneath heaven.

Rosweisse, Ekaterina, Angelica, Natia—holy, athletic, wild, obedient, petite... all were beauties with their own distinctive charms.

Even Saint Monica of the Earth Mother Goddess Church was a woman with a unique flavor of her own.

But none of them could compare to Saya.

There was not the slightest flaw to be found on this woman. No matter how picky a man might be, Saya could fulfill his most perfect fantasy.

Her silver hair drifted around her, and her crimson eyes held a seductive charm.

Her lightly parted cherry lips revealed two small, pointed canine teeth.

That gesture alone appeared exceedingly alluring.

Qin Chu could not help swallowing quietly.

The next second, Saya bit down on Qin Chu's wrist.

As Saya's form became increasingly solid, the two of them could occasionally make brief physical contact. Most of the time, however, Saya was still only a phantom.

It hurt a little.

But to Qin Chu, who had experienced the agony of being hacked into six pieces, it was entirely bearable.

Yet Qin Chu quickly sensed that something was wrong. Blood spurted from the two small bite marks on his wrist like water from an open faucet.

Drawn by Saya, it gathered into a mass in midair. At a glance, even a one-liter bottle of mineral water probably would not be enough to hold it all.

The instant blood loss made Qin Chu's head spin.

"Didn't you say you only needed a little?" Qin Chu's face darkened.

"It's only one liter. Is that a lot?" Saya rolled her eyes at Qin Chu irritably. "You call yourself a Hero, yet you keep whining over such a trivial matter..."

Good grief, was this him whining?

With that much blood, if his strength were not fairly decent now, he would surely pass out from blood loss, wouldn't he?

Did this bastard Saya not know that human bodies were fragile, and that losing too much blood could kill someone?

Qin Chu seriously suspected that Saya was taking revenge for his sealing her twice in his first playthrough.

"I'll also need a few hairs..."

As she spoke, Saya reached up to Qin Chu's head and yanked out a handful. The pain made Qin Chu bare his teeth.

This woman was far too ruthless.

"Oh, right. Once Love That Topples Cities has been improved, who are you planning to use it on first?" Saya asked curiously.

This man was full of wicked schemes. He was even willing to use something like Love That Topples Cities. An ordinary Hero would never do such a thing.

"Rosweisse?"

After all, Rosweisse was the person this man hated most.

Saya suddenly became a little excited. "Give Rosweisse Love That Topples Cities, make her gradually forget Jello and fall in love with you, then do this and that..."
