Candice's Thoughts (12,000 Words)

Once the head, left hand, and left leg are absorbed, the remnants of the Evil God will reassemble within Qin Chu's body.

There was no news from Athena yet, so Qin Chu wasn't in a hurry.

He didn't even leave the Imperial City.

After handing over the Three Ruin Fists and the Royal Heritage Battle Qi to Carol, Qin Chu headed straight for the Commoners' District.

Compared to the chaotic Nobles' District, the Commoners' District was much quieter.

The emperor's death has little to do with the common people. Whoever sits on that throne in the future, it won't be their turn anyway. They're already busy enough working to support their families every day, so they don't have time to worry about those messy things. At most, they'll just talk about them over tea after meals.

Candice's bar was as lively as ever.

Late into the night, after seeing off the last customer, only Qin Chu and Candice remained in the bar.

After closing the door, Candice, as usual, returned to the bar, mixed a scarlet drink, and swayed gracefully as she sat on Qin Chu's lap.

She took a sip of the wine with her delicate cherry lips and kissed Qin Chu's lips, letting Qin Chu also experience the taste of imported wine.

After a long and passionate conversation, Candice finally reported on the recent movements of the Magic Creature.

"According to the information provided by Ramon, at some point, the Demon King Nag suddenly issued an order that baffled all the Magic Creature, as if he had gone mad."

"He withdrew all the Magic Creature from the occupied territories, and even the Magic Creature currently fighting on the front lines had to return to the Demon King's Castle."

"Under the command of Demon King Nag, the entire Demon King's Castle was completely surrounded."

"According to Ramon, the Demon King seems to suspect that some mysterious and powerful being might attack the Demon King's Palace or even the Demon King."

Qin Chu raised an eyebrow. According to the timeline Candice mentioned, the Demon King Nag went mad around the same time the Lord of Pleasure descended upon this world.

Could it be that the soul of the Second-Generation Jello within the Demon King's body sensed the aura of the Evil God and was worried that the Evil God would cause him trouble?

Candice continued, "Ramon also stated that although it cannot be completely confirmed, it seems that the Demon King Nag has moved out of the Demon King's Palace without anyone knowing, and no one knows where he is hiding now."

Even the Demon King's favorite concubines cannot contact Demon King; they only receive Demon King orders under special circumstances.

Well, they were so scared they hid.

A Demon King, a Hero... aren't you guys being a little too cowardly?

This news is not very pleasant.

After all, this time Qin Chu is not just dealing with Rosweisse.

There's also the Demon King Nag and the Second-Generation Jello.

If this guy really hides, no one will be able to find him, which will become a problem later. If those two bastards actually get onto Earth, that would be even worse.

His fingers caressed Candice's slender waist. After a moment's hesitation, Qin Chu said, "Inform Ramon."

Tell him he's about to become the Demon King.

"Nag has been in this position for too long; it's time for a change. If he can find out exactly where the Demon King is, I can help him eliminate Demon King."

"I think Ramon will be very happy to carry out this mission!"

Chapter 564 Candice's Thoughts (12,000 words)

Qin Chu's words made Candice's breath catch in her throat slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in her light purple eyes, but the half-blood Succubus quickly calmed herself down.

She knew that the man she fell in love with would have to deal with the most powerful being in the world —the Demon King.

Among the many girls around Qin Chu, Candice was an exception among exceptions.

In fact, apart from a very few girls like Athena, most people didn't even know Candice existed.

Candice is also the weakest. Even Angelica has already broken through to the Grand Sage. Although Antasia lost most of her Ice Goddess energy after the battle, she still had some residue left. In addition, with the influence of the Ice Authority, breaking through to the Grand Sage level was not a difficult thing. Only Candice is still stuck at this level and has never been able to improve.

The levels are not so easy to overcome.

Even though Candice's talent is not weak, it will take a long time to accumulate it.

Even Angelica, who rarely participates in combat, occasionally accompanies Qin Chu. Only Candice is different; she has never acted alongside Qin Chu.

However, Candice's existence also holds a significance for Qin Chu that no one else can replace.

By contacting Ramon through Candice and gaining control of this useful tool, the various intelligence gathered from him was also crucial for Qin Chu.

Ronald's whereabouts in the Demonic Beast Territory... Sylph is besieged by Magic Creature... The blame for Benson's death...

The specific action plan for the Demonic Beast Territory.

The Magic Creature were targeting him with assassinations.

All of this intelligence was obtained thanks to Candice.

For Qin Chu, whose strength has now reached the Demigod level, dealing with these things is naturally insignificant; they can be wiped out with a laugh. But for the Qin Chu of the past, they were a real threat.

Candice had been diligently gathering intelligence and was very concerned about Qin Chu's affairs. She knew that her lover's strength was increasing day by day and his status was rising higher and higher.

But now, knowing that her lover was actually trying to harm the Demon King, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Seeing Candice's mood, Qin Chu reached out and gently touched Candice face. "Don't worry, when have you ever seen me commit suicide? I've already fought the Demon King, and I wouldn't act rashly without absolute certainty of victory."

Candice's eyes suddenly lit up; she hadn't expected that Qin Chu had already clashed with the Demon King.

Although the specific outcome of the battle is unknown, judging from the lover's demeanor and confidence, at least one thing is certain: the Demon King did not gain much advantage over Qin Chu.

With that, Candice finally felt a little more at ease.

The little head nodded. "I understand."

"I will convey your message to Ramon, and if Ramon is timid, I will try to persuade him."

"Is there anything else you need?"

Qin Chu pondered for a moment, "In the coming period, the Imperial City will experience serious internal strife."

Although it was a conflict between nobles and royal princes, the common people were undoubtedly the ones who suffered the most from the outcome.

As a woman, and a beautiful one at that, it goes without saying that Candice's situation in this chaotic world is extremely dangerous. Even if Candice has considerable strength, she may not be able to handle all the troubles.

"So you must be careful. The bar can be closed temporarily, and intelligence gathering should be put on hold for now. Your own safety should be the most important goal."

After a pause, Qin Chu took out a large pile of magic scrolls from his storage ring and placed them in front of Candice.

Candice was somewhat taken aback; there were dozens of these magic scrolls.

Just how worried was Qin Chu about himself?

"There are thirty magic scrolls here, ten of which record different Transcendent Magic. If you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, you can use them directly."

Candice suddenly felt a headache coming on. She naturally knew how to use magic scrolls; she was a fairly capable magician, so she shouldn't be ignorant of these basic rules.

But, ten scrolls of Transcendent Magic?

Isn't this a bit too much?

Even if it were Grand Sage, a shield-guarding war War God, Candice didn't think the opponent could withstand the bombardment of ten Transcendent Magic.

Of course, there was one thing Candice didn't know: these thirty magic scrolls, including these ten Transcendent Magic, were all drawn by Qin Chu and Little Saya.

Both of these individuals are Demigod.

The power of a magic scroll created by Demigod- level expert... well, you'll only know if you use it.

"There are five remaining, each containing powerful healing magic that can be used to restore injuries."

"Five of them, each containing defensive magic that can instantly activate a defensive shield."

"There are ten magic scrolls left, which record Spatial Teleportation Magic Array. Once activated, you can instantly teleport to the place you want to go, which can be used to escape."

"You can set your coordinates at the Hero's Palace. If you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, you can seek help from the Hero's Palace; no one will refuse."

Candice gently bit her lip with her pearly teeth.

It has everything: Transcendent Magic, defensive magic, healing magic, escape magic...

Candice was now certain: did Qin Chu really see her as a little girl who couldn't even take care of her own life?

However, seeing her lover's concern for her made Candice feel quite comfortable, and her eyes narrowed into slits.

She would never say anything like "I'm strong, I don't need these things" at this moment, which would be a real mood killer. She nodded her little head vigorously.

Qin Chu did not believe his worries were unfounded.

A conflict between the nobility and the royal family is imminent.

There is no doubt that neither the princes nor the nobles dared to provoke the Hero's Palace and the Church.

But if the royal prince's army were to invade, would the nobles within the Imperial City simply sit idly by and await their doom?

Won't!

This may be the closest members of the aristocracy have ever come to the imperial throne in thousands of years. Driven by Greed, they are capable of anything: capturing civilians to fill the army, confiscating weapons and valuables, abducting women, and rewarding their generals and soldiers...

There's nothing they won't do, only things you can't imagine.

While the power of the aristocratic class was weaker compared to Qin Chu, and the Church, it still possessed some highly skilled individuals.

"Actually, I would prefer you to live in the Hero's Palace. It's quite large with many rooms, so there's no shortage of space," Qin Chu said.

Unfortunately, when faced with this suggestion, Candice didn't even think twice and immediately shook her head in rejection.

There are some things that only she can do.

As a bar owner, she naturally possessed a rather valuable source of information.

Candice knew that, both among Magic Creature and within the Imperial City, there was still a great deal of malice towards Hero.

Only she could obtain this information; if the women in the Hero's Palace were to make a move, it would only alert the enemy.

"I'll move in after everything is over, and then I'll see my sisters," Candice said softly.

Call...

Qin Chu let out a long breath and took out a medium-sized glass bottle from his storage ring.

Inside the glass bottle was a Crimson liquid.

That was the Evil God's Blood purified by Qin Chu's own blood.

This thing is a superior cultivation tool compared to any magic potion or Holy Crystal; its pure energy can bring enormous benefits to anyone who absorbs it.

Seeing Candice accept the blood vial, Qin Chu added, "Don't absorb too much at once, take it slowly."

After spending some more time together, Qin Chu finally left.

This time, Qin Chu did not return to the Hero's Palace. Instead, he opened a vortex leading to the Void in a deserted place to meet the Little Goddess of Holy Light.

After Qin Chu left, Candice was the only one left in the bar.

His expression gradually turned somewhat forlorn.

His fingers traced the things Qin Chu had left him.

She knew that these things represented Qin Chu's care for her and his feelings for her.

In fact, when Qin Chu suggested that she go to live in the Hero's Palace with him, Candice was very tempted, and she almost couldn't help but agree.

But in the end, Candice hesitated.

Intelligence gathering is one of the reasons.

On the other hand, it was because of Candice's fear.

She loved that man deeply, and she believed that he loved her deeply too.

However, her experiences growing up made it difficult for Candice to gain a true sense of security.

Still very young, at the age of just learning to speak, he was abandoned by his father in a desolate jungle, where he was threatened by Magic Creature and wild beasts.

Having fallen into the Demonic Beast Territory, all he endured was bullying and humiliation. He verbally accepted his mother, but she only used him as a useful tool.

Warmth was a luxury for Candice, a feeling she had almost never experienced.

It was only after meeting Qin Chu that Candice truly experienced what warmth felt like.

She loved the feeling; the temperature fascinated Candice.

However, all that she had endured made Candice hesitant to directly accept Qin Chu's kindness.

These experiences even led Candice to have a wrong idea... that only by demonstrating her own value could she gain true acceptance, even from her lover.
