Chapter Three Is Here / I'll Lend You Little Saya (4)
"It is said that Hero are lustful, but even when faced with the temptations of Fini and Selma, he maintained his gentlemanly manners at all times."
"I can sense his emotional fluctuations and heartbeat. His heartbeat is strange, but when Selma and Fini get close, I can clearly detect his heartbeat accelerating. He is not indifferent to beauty, but he can control his impulses."
"He's a very good at disguising himself, an extremely insidious man. His lustful nature is just a facade he deliberately presents to make others subconsciously look down on him."
"While Selma and Fini are undeniably charming, and few of the opposite sex can resist their allure, it's practically impossible for you to control the Hero with just these two women."
"According to intelligence, this man knows very well which women he can lay a hand on and which he can't touch. Emperor Wadsworth of the Empire placed Princess Carol next to the Hero, but the Hero hasn't touched her even a hair on his head. The former saintess of the Holy Church Rosweisse, has always kept her at a distance."
"Do you understand, Your Majesty Edson? The only way to achieve your goals is to cooperate with me."
"Underestimating this man will come at a price."
Edson's youngest daughter, Suna, had an increasingly strange voice, and even her way of addressing her father had changed.
Edson glanced to his side, and although it wasn't the first time he'd seen something like this, his heart still involuntarily skipped a beat.
The familiar appearance of her youngest daughter has been completely changed.
She still had that petite and frail body.
However, those eyes and her originally sea-blue hair had completely turned crimson.
Her pretty face held a hint of coldness and ferocity, a cruel curve forming at the corners of her mouth. Two sharp canine teeth peeked out from either side of her lips, like the fangs of Vampire.
This is a girl with an eerie and cruel charm!
This girl... was not Edson's youngest daughter, but rather Eileen, a former member of the Hero's Party.
Edson claimed that the guard had been assassinated, and the thief who stole Jello's Soul Fragment was right here.
However, Eileen's disguise was so good that she perfectly portrayed the timid little princess, and even her three older sisters, Milo, Selma, and Fini, couldn't see through her disguise.
Unfortunately, Eileen's figure wasn't suitable for playing the other three princesses.
Needless to say, the eldest princess has a stunning figure that Fini could never achieve in Eileen lifetime. That damn big-breasted monster, I'll cut it off for you sooner or later.
As for Princess Selma, although she wasn't quite that outstanding, she was still Eileen couldn't envy. Even the twins combined couldn't match a third of Selma's beauty.
The reason for deliberately informing Qin Chu that Jero's soul fragment was in Erin's hands was to keep Qin Chu in the kingdom and prevent him from leaving so soon.
The poor Hero, so arrogantly wanting to eliminate himself, didn't realize that he also wanted to kill him.
Who is the hunter and who is the prey?
Qin Chu still possesses two Soul Fragment, Eileen will never let go of.
Edson's face darkened, and he didn't directly answer Eileen's question, "Do you really think we can deal with Qin Chu on our own? I don't think we have much of a chance."
"Augustus and Rosweisse have already lost, and the second and third Magic Creature princes have been killed by Qin Chu. What makes you think we can win?"
"The two of us alone certainly can't do it, but... this world is never short of people who envy Hero, so I will naturally contact suitable partners."
If she were truly confident, Eileen would have made her move just now.
She could sense that Qin Chu's strength had increased again in this short period of time, and he was no longer someone she could easily assassinate.
But under no circumstances should Qin Chu be allowed to leave the kingdom alive. We cannot give Qin Chu any more time to grow stronger, otherwise Qin Chu will become more and more powerful, and assassination will become increasingly difficult.
Eileen had made up her mind to kill Qin Chu here, drain Qin Chu blood and preserve it. As for other things, she would consider them later; she couldn't possibly plan everything so thoroughly on her own.
"In short, we must keep Qin Chu here for now."
"Don't try to inform Qin Chu of my existence, or you know the consequences."
Eileen gave a quiet warning, and the next moment her figure vanished without a sound.

Chapter 437 I'll Lend You Little Saya (4)
Being scolded like that by a young girl, Edson's face instantly flushed with anger.
However, the king of this kingdom quickly calmed down, only giving a slightly gloomy smile. After all, she was just a young girl. Although she was quite capable, her insight, temperament, and experience were ultimately lacking.
This fool, does she really think her disguise hasn't been seen through by the Hero?
If that were the case, the Hero wouldn't have repeatedly cast his gaze upon you at the banquet.
Thinking you've done a good job of disguising yourself, but going too far makes it seem unnatural.
Meanwhile, Qin Chu left, escorted by Milo, Fini, and Selma.
Fini and Selma could clearly sense that although they could be considered beautiful, and the Hero had even praised them as having unparalleled beauty and a face that could topple kingdoms, the Hero was clearly not very interested in them.
On the contrary, it seemed more natural to communicate with Milo.
The two exchanged a glance. If this Hero didn't care about Milo's atavistic state and treated Milo well, then their eldest sister would have a place to settle down in the future.
At least compared to the proud Elf King Alfred, these two princesses found the Hero more pleasing to the eye. Apart from his handsome appearance, the Elf King had almost no other redeeming qualities.
Although he once helped the royal family suppress a rebellion, he became increasingly arrogant and domineering afterward, and no royal family could tolerate such a person.
"By the way, princesses, has Princess Suna always been like this?" Qin Chu asked abruptly as they walked, steer the conversation towards Princess Suna.
Milo sighed, "My little sister has always been like this since she was little. She's terrified of strangers. Even though she's a princess, she just can't shake this personality trait."
Fini covered her mouth and chuckled, "So, the Hero has taken a liking to my little sister, hasn't he?"
A charming and alluring demeanor is perfectly suited for casually uttering such words.
Qin Chu said, "How could that be? I was just a little curious. I've seen shy people before, but I've never seen anyone this terribly shy."
Hearing this, Fini also felt a little strange. "Come to think of it, although my little sister has always been afraid of strangers, she is, after all, of royal lineage and has received etiquette training in this area since childhood."
"When attending formal occasions, I wouldn't say I can display royal dignity, but at least I don't lose face. Today, however, I do look rather abnormal."
However, this charming and alluring fox spirit seemed a bit simple-minded and didn't think much of it, "Perhaps it's because I met Hero today, whose status is too noble, which aggravated my fear?"
"I'm really sorry about that." Qin Chu chuckled and readily accepted Fini's explanation.
But in her heart she was thinking that, logically speaking, as the little princess, Suna should have been sitting in the lowest seat at the banquet, but instead she was sitting right next to Edson.
Edson's posture is also worth examining. Although he was communicating with himself, his gaze kept involuntarily falling on Suna, as if he was seeking Suna's opinion.
Qin Chu even had a strange feeling that Edson seemed to be deliberately guiding him to notice Suna.
According to Fini, although the little princess is shy, she would not lose the dignity of royalty on important occasions. However, the little princess Suna she met today was consciously avoiding her. Whenever their eyes met at the banquet, she would immediately lower her eyes, as if she was consciously avoiding such a situation.
She seemed afraid of something.
The unnatural crimson glint in the depths of his azure eyes also aroused Qin Chu's suspicion.
While pondering to himself, Qin Chu kept talking, entertaining the princesses as he returned to his temporary inn.
After the delivery was completed, the three princesses prepared to leave.
Just then, Qin Chu suddenly called out to Milo.
"What's wrong, Hero? Is there something else?" Milo asked curiously.
She looked at her two younger sisters with some confusion. Even if the Hero wanted to keep a princess, shouldn't it be one of her two sisters? Why did he suddenly call her over?
She didn't think she had any appeal to the Hero.
"It's like this, I know a very powerful... magician." Qin Chu pondered, "Should I help you contact her? Perhaps she can offer some solutions for Prince Milo's condition of Atavistic Abnormality?"
Milo's eyes suddenly brightened but quickly dimmed. He had been treated by many people since childhood, from doctors famous throughout the kingdom to priests of the Holy Church to magicians skilled in potions, but each time he went from hope to despair.
Even with her strong will, Milo could barely endure the repeated torture and had completely given up on her Atavistic Abnormality.
"Never mind, it's not worth troubling the Hero..."
Milo answered instinctively, but before he could finish speaking, Fini and Selma rushed to Qin Chu and grabbed Qin Chu arms on either side. "Hero, do you really have a way?"
"Please, you must help my sister! I beg you, otherwise she'll never be able to get married in her life."
"It would be a disgrace to the royal family if there were unmarried old maids among them."
You two bastards!
Milo was furious. At first, he was touched by his two sisters' concern, but what they said next—"You'll never get married? You'll bring shame to the royal family?"
Damn it, wait till I get back and see how I deal with you guys.
Besides, if you can't get married, then don't get married!
Milo doesn't need a man to survive.
Fini and Selma, however, didn't care about anything else. They exchanged a glance and became even more certain of their guess.
Although it's not nice to say this to my sister, does the Hero have rather unusual tastes? Or does the Hero just like tall, hairy guys?
What kind of strange quirk is this?
No, no, if the Hero truly didn't care about excessive body hair, he wouldn't have offered to treat his Atavistic Abnormality condition.
But in any case, the Hero definitely has feelings for the older sister.
Embraced on either side, a fox spirit on one side and a cat spirit on the other... Even Qin Chu found it hard to contain himself. It wasn't that he was worried he couldn't handle it, but rather that there were too many people around, and the suspicious gazes made Qin Chu feel somewhat awkward. He reluctantly pulled his hands away from the two princesses' embraces and placed one hand on his ear.
As for that extremely powerful magician, it was naturally Saya.
Saya seemed very busy; it took a long time for the Message Magic to connect.
The only sound Qin Chu could hear when the call connected wasn't Saya's voice, but the rapid rustling of paper. If Qin Chu wasn't mistaken, Miss Saya was probably counting Mana at lightning speed.
After the system of "debt money"... I mean, "debt Mana" was implemented in the Holy Church, Qin Chu had no doubt that a large sum of money would be added to the Holy See's treasury.
And those nearly ten thousand clergy who were executed before—it's estimated that a large fortune could be found in each of their homes.
How are things on your end?
"Excellent! This morning alone, the confiscated assets of clergy have reached 100 million, and the clergy who voluntarily paid Mana atonement have formed a long queue outside the Holy Church. It will probably take several days to process them all." Saya's cheerful voice came from the other end of the message.
Despite being a Witch, she seems to have an unusual interest in Mana.
Those people standing in line, they weren't people at all, they were clearly bundles of human-shaped banknotes.
"You didn't suddenly contact me just to ask about this, did you? I'm warning you beforehand, I'm the one who's been busy here, and I'll be taking 70% of this money." Saya's voice rang out again.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'll give you everything. Your money is my money, isn't it?
Why be so calculating when we're an old married couple?
Qin Chu mentally complained, but his mouth didn't stop. "Of course not, there's something else..."
Qin Chu briefly explained Milo's situation and then asked Saya for her opinion.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the message. After a long while, Saya finally gave her answer, "Atavistic Abnormality. While I've experienced it before, I haven't seen it too often. Without seeing the person you're talking about in person, it's difficult for me to give a direct answer."
"Alright then, I'll lend you Little Saya."
"Hey, I'm warning you, you're not allowed to lay a hand on Little Saya, understand?"
"Also, if you're busy out there, there's no need to come back so quickly. Wait until I've finished dealing with this batch of money... cough cough, I mean you can take your time and don't overwork yourself."
What does "borrow" mean?
Furthermore, what about attacking Little Saya?
Qin Chu isn't tired of living yet.
Despite his increased strength and the fact that he had learned the ridiculously powerful Counter-Prophecy Art, Qin Chu still didn't feel that he could surpass Little Saya, after all, she was a true Demigod.
The situation in the Exeter Kingdom was somewhat unusual. Qin Chu was worried that he, along with Sylph and Athena, might not be able to handle it. If Little Saya could also come, then there would be nothing to worry about.
But what's with that last sentence? Are you worried we'll rob you when we get back? Do you think everyone's as greedy as you? Seriously.
Having just finished talking with Saya, Qin Chu hadn't even had time to turn around when he felt an itch in his ear. He instinctively pressed it, and Candice's voice began to echo in his ear.
Candice brought only one piece of news: Daiaboliq had reappeared.
The Demonic Beast Grand Prince who was once personally killed by Qin Chu, and whose body was then stolen by the Demon King Nag.
At the time, Qin Chu was somewhat suspicious about the Demon King Nag taking the eldest prince's body, and now it seems that something is indeed wrong. How could the Demon King Nag bring the dead back to life?
Could it be that the Demon King has also mastered the Resurrection Spell?
Furthermore, Candice also informed them that after leaving the Demon King's Castle, Daiaboliq headed straight for the Exeter Kingdom.
As expected, Ramon was indeed a very useful piece.
"I received this news last night, but it was so shocking that I hope Ramon can investigate further to see if there are any new findings," Candice's voice continued.
