The Ice Witch's Purpose

There was another suite inside, and through the glass, you could see the silhouette of a tall, beautiful woman, who seemed to be drying her long, wet hair with a towel.

Qin Chu wasn't stupid; he immediately understood what was going on with Heidi's ambiguous and strange smile. Wasn't this Antasia's boudoir?

Although Antasia was originally to be married into the Empire, Antasia room has always been preserved in the Ice Grand Duchy.

This mother-in-law actually arranged for herself to stay in Antasia's boudoir?

What are they trying to do?

Do you mean you want a grandchild?

In an instant, Qin Chu's forehead was covered in black lines.

This is a bit inappropriate.

Although Qin Chu wasn't exactly a good person, he still understood the proper etiquette. He had just arrived in the Ice Grand Duchy and was about to share a room with the princess of the Ice Grand Duchy on the very first night. Even if he and Antasia had already done everything that should and shouldn't have happened, it was still somewhat against etiquette.

Qin Chu shook his head and prepared to leave, deciding to just find somewhere to spend the night.

Just as Qin Chu reached the door, a soft creak came from the suite, and Antasia, wrapped in a pure white bath towel, stepped out.

Even a large bath towel couldn't hide her beautiful figure.

Rather, she looks even more alluring now; her long neck is like that of an elegant swan, and the top of the towel just covers her sexy collarbone. Her large expanse of fair skin is almost dazzling under the light.

The towel only barely covered the middle of her thighs, leaving half of her snow-white thighs and sexy, shapely calves completely exposed to Qin Chu's eyes.

Her legs were long and straight, with a rounded shape and exquisite lines; she was simply the most perfect creation in the world.

Her long, deep blue hair, which fell to her hips, was still swaying gently.

When Antasia saw Qin Chu, she was clearly startled; her big blue eyes blinked and her long eyelashes trembled.

Although they had been intimate quite a few times, Antasia still felt a little embarrassed when Qin Chu saw her like this, and a Crimson quickly spread from her neck to her pretty face.

"Qin, Qin Chu, what are you doing here?" Antasia asked softly.

She was a princess... but in front of others, in front of Qin Chu, Antasia would always unconsciously show the demeanor of a little girl.

Back in the Imperial City and the Hero's Palace, so many of the sisters were like this, so I got used to it and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

But it's different here.

Qin Chu shrugged helplessly. "Miss Heidi brought me here, saying it was a place to rest for me. There must be some mistake somewhere."

Antasia immediately frowned, a strange, muffled sound escaping her throat.

This is something only one's own mother would do.

I heard that my father was drugged by my mother back then, and then they somehow managed to turn raw rice into porridge. Although the two of them get along well now.

But surely this kind of thing shouldn't be used on myself and Qin Chu?

It's not just Antasia; the other girls in the palace are probably only missing a marriage certificate to be with Qin Chu. Making such an arrangement would only create awkwardness and is completely pointless, right?

It might even make Angelica and Miss Saya think that they are taking advantage of their home field and monopolizing Qin Chu.

Antasia didn't want to ruin the bond between the sisters.

Qin Chu also felt a little awkward, scratching his head. "Well, I'll find somewhere else to go. See you tomorrow."

As he spoke, Qin Chu prepared to leave.

Just as I turned around, I felt a fragrant breeze wafting over from behind.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Chu could clearly feel a soft and beautiful body pressed against his back from behind, and fair arms wrapped around Qin Chu's waist.

It's Antasia.

Whether her sisters thought she was cunning or shameful, Antasia felt a surge of longing as she watched Qin Chu's departing figure.

"No need, stay here..." She didn't want to part with Qin Chu like this.

Her voice seemed to tremble slightly.

Turning around, I saw that stunningly beautiful face so close to mine, like a goddess in the snow, breathtakingly beautiful.

Despite the coldness of the world, Qin Chu felt inexplicably hot all over. The tenderness in Antasia's eyes made Qin Chu unable to control his impulse any longer. He suddenly lowered his head and almost Greed took Antasia's lips.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Heidi did not rest.

Heidi was alone in the king's bedroom.

King Oswald, accompanied by a large entourage, was traveling through the city, working through the night to calm the panicked residents.

Heidi was surrounded by all sorts of books, all ancient ones. Heidi hoped to find clues about the Far Northern Glacier in these books, even the smallest bit of information.

Since the Ice Grand Duchy encountered danger, Oswald not only sent people deep into the glacier, but also arranged for a large number of civilian staff to consult ancient books, interview the elders, and explore all the legends about the glacier, hoping to find out what exactly happened to the Ice Grand Duchy.

Because of the Ice Grand Duchy's unique location, cultivating powerful warriors and mages has always been the top priority for its kings. Conversely, education and records related to literature and history have always been rather rudimentary. Nowadays, to explore history, it is necessary to collect information from the common people, since among the more than two million citizens, there will always be some who are interested in this kind of thing.

Unfortunately, the Far Northern Glacier are so mysterious that nothing of any use could be found.

Although the hope is slim, the work of collecting books and recording legends from various places has not stopped to this day, and what is laid out on the table in front of me is what we have collected today.

Heidi flipped through the pages rapidly, the pages rustling loudly, at a speed even more exaggerated than reading ten lines at a glance.

Suddenly, Heidi's movements slowed slightly, her fingers tracing the yellowed pages of the book.

This ancient book records that two hundred years ago, someone entered the Far Northern Glacier three times.

Gloria!

It's a very nice-sounding name.

No one has ever survived a fall from the Far Northern Glacier, yet this woman Gloria has managed to enter it three times. This alone is enough to show that she is no ordinary woman.

If they could find out how this woman did it, their son-in-law might feel a little safer.

Heidi's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

She began frantically searching for records about Gloria, and finally found the name in a file.

Gloria... the Ice Witch!

On the other side, the warmth of spring dispelled the chill of the room.

Antasia curled up like a kitten, nestled in Qin Chu's arms.

The two were covered with a thick blanket made of white mink fur, which was soft and quite comfortable.

Antasia's face was still Crimson, looking exquisitely beautiful.

"Qin Chu..."

Suddenly, Antasia spoke up, "We're heading to the glacier tomorrow, can you take me with you?"

Chapter Two, 4,000 words in total, is presented here.

Chapter 514 The Ice Witch's Purpose

(4,000 characters)

Antasia wanted to come with him into the glacier?

Qin Chu frowned slightly.

Not only Antasia, Big Saya, Angelica, Heloise, Antia, Ieta, but even Atris made such a request to demonstrate her loyalty to Qin Chu.

Without exception, Qin Chu refused them all.

"Antasia..." Qin Chu carefully chose his words.

"You should know this already, right? The Daughter of Death, Ileta, said before that the body of Evil God was discovered deep within the glacier."

"Do you know how dangerous the body of Evil God is? Even powerful figures like Augustus and Wadsworth struggled to resist the corrosive influence of Evil God's aura. If you go with them, it will be very dangerous."

The Evil God's Remnant Body was something even Qin Chu dared not underestimate.

Especially since he didn't know what plans the Goddess of Fate Moirai, had made on the Evil God's Remnant Body, Qin Chu was even more unwilling to let the women around him take risks.

Even Saya Qin Chu refused, let alone Antasia.

Among his many women, Antasia was the weakest and most likely to encounter danger in the glacier.

Qin Chu couldn't guarantee what he might encounter in the glacier, or whether he would have enough strength to protect Antasia.

Therefore, Qin Chu refused Antasia's request without even thinking.

Qin Chu's answer did not surprise Antasia. It was normal. Normally, Antasia was not the kind of girl who didn't know when to back down and would keep pestering others.

This time, however, Antasia's reaction surprised Qin Chu.

With her pearly white teeth biting her soft lips, Antasia's face showed a hint of struggle.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chu asked.

Antasia spoke cautiously, "I... I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but..."

Antasia's expression grew increasingly strange; she seemed to struggle to find the right words to describe her feelings. After a long while, the princess finally spoke again, "I always feel that glaciers have a strange attraction for me."

"I was born in the Ice Grand Duchy, and I also grew up in the Ice Grand Duchy."

"Although I've never ventured deep into the Far Northern Glacier, I have occasionally ventured there. Before this trip, the glaciers only evoked fear in me. But this time, I inexplicably felt as if something deep within the glaciers was calling to me."

Antasia's little face was full of suspicion.

It seemed a little inappropriate for Antasia to say these words herself, but she genuinely felt like there was something wrong with her mind.

After re-entering the Ice Grand Duchy, this strange feeling began to appear intermittently, but at first, the feeling was so faint that Antasia barely noticed it.

But the longer Antasia stayed in the Ice Grand Duchy, the stronger this strange feeling in her heart became, almost every second.

At this moment, the princess's mind was in turmoil.

She hoped that this call, like the one Angelica had encountered, would grant her a miraculous adventure, allowing her to escape the last place in the Hero's Palace.

However, Antasia also understood that such elusive calls were mostly not good things. For ordinary people, they were even worse and more dangerous. If the one calling was some strange and evil being, their body, will, and soul could be destroyed.

Antasia wasn't the kind of girl who would only pin her hopes on serendipitous encounters. Whether she was living in the Ice Grand Duchy or later in the Hero's Palace, she always trained diligently.

She also knows that it's quite impressive for someone her age to have achieved her current level of skill.

However, seeing that his best friend Angelica had actually broken through the Grand Sage level, it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

So after sensing this faint call and attraction, Antasia hoped that this could be an opportunity for her.

Antasia's words silenced Qin Chu as well.

A mysterious call...

What being, deep within the glacier, could be calling out to Antasia?

Qin Chu did not believe it was the will released by the Evil God's Remnant Body.

The will of the Evil God's Remnant Body calling upon Antasia is meaningless... Could it be that, deep within the glacier, besides the Evil God's Remnant Body, there are other strange entities?

Or is this yet another arrangement by the Goddess of Fate, Moirai?

Seeing Qin Chu deep in thought and remaining silent, Antasia bit her lip lightly. She noticed Qin Chu's hesitation and knew that her request was somewhat excessive.

Even if Qin Chu went alone to a place like the Far Northern Glacier, it would be fraught with danger. If he were to follow, he would only be a burden.

Antasia was somewhat annoyed. She didn't understand why she had made such a request. She knew very well that it was inappropriate, but she still couldn't help but speak up.

Antasia shook her head vigorously in Qin Chu and quickly said, "Sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"I hope I can go to the Far Northern Glacier another time."

As soon as she finished speaking, a strong sense of reluctance welled up in Antasia's heart.

Qin Chu noticed the expression on Antasia's face and the look in her eyes. Her strange appearance made Qin Chu decide what to do.

"No, Antasia, you're coming with me tomorrow." Taking a deep breath, Qin Chu made his decision.

Is it dangerous? It's very dangerous!

However, Qin Chu had an even stranger premonition.

If this is truly the arrangement of the Goddess of Fate, Moirai, or some other strange calling, then if I don't bring Antasia along, she will be in even greater danger. Having her by my side at least means she will have someone to take care of her.
