Chapter 187: Two Angelicas? (Part 2)
Sylph stared suspiciously at the corner of the staircase where Angelica had disappeared.
The elf shook her head. She wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Although she felt a strange, inexplicable unease, she didn’t dwell on it. She had enough on her mind. After cleaning herself, she sat on the bed, pondering the three treatment options Qin Chu had offered.
The third option was absolutely out of the question. That was a line she couldn’t cross.
She had already tried the first option, and although it had some effect, it didn’t seem very effective.
As for the second option… if it could free her from this torment, perhaps she could endure it… Sylph picked up a mirror as she thought.
Ever since she discovered those marks on her neck, she couldn’t help but touch and examine them, hoping it was just a nightmare, that they would disappear when she looked in the mirror again.
But wishes were just wishes.
Sylph’s pupils constricted, and her body trembled slightly. The marks, which had faded slightly after the first treatment, had returned to their original color… No, they were even darker now.
Could this be a sign that the Evil God’s corruption was worsening?
Fear washed over her. The marks weren’t very noticeable yet, but if they continued to darken… If the Holy See discovered her corruption, they might not even wait for her to transform into a monster, they would execute her immediately.
They wouldn’t allow a second Karsus.
…
Creak!
The door to Qin Chu’s bedroom opened.
Angelica’s familiar fragrance filled the room.
Exhausted from purifying Karsus and administering Sylph’s first treatment, Qin Chu lay in bed, seemingly asleep.
But the alluring scent roused him, and he opened his eyes drowsily. Seeing the graceful figure at the door, a smile appeared on his tired face.
“Ange, it’s you…”
Angelica seemed to possess a special magic. No matter how tired he was, seeing her always lifted his spirits.
A seductive glint flickered in Angelica’s soft, golden eyes. She walked towards him, her hips swaying, her every move radiating an alluring charm.
A smile played on her lips, her eyes filled with a silken enticement. Her pink lips, seemingly shimmering with a strange light, spoke in a sweet, melodious voice:
“Master, what would you like for lunch today…?”
There was something different about Angelica today, even more alluring. Her simple question made Qin Chu’s heart race. He had just been with Sylph, yet he felt a surge of desire.
He reached out to her. “I want something else right now,” he said, his voice husky.
The innocent Angelica seemed to understand his meaning instantly.
Her face flushed crimson, her eyes clouding with a misty desire. She gave him a seductive glance, then swayed towards him, sitting on his lap, her soft body pressing against his.
Up close, her allure was even more intoxicating.
They embraced.
…
In the training grounds, Violet and Anthea patiently instructed Angelica and Anastasia.
Even Karen was imitating Sister Angelica, sitting cross-legged on the ground with her eyes closed, seemingly trying to sense the surrounding elemental energy.
But this position was too uncomfortable for a child. After a while, Karen’s legs went numb, and she stood up with a grimace.
Violet glanced at her with a fond smile. She had taught Karen some basic magic, but it was too difficult for a child who couldn’t even read properly.
Karen was smart, but Violet had tested her. She didn’t have much talent in magic.
Even if she cultivated diligently, her achievements wouldn’t be very high. But it should be enough for her to protect herself.
Violet turned her attention to Angelica, who seemed to be enveloped in a milky white light, her figure hazy and dreamlike.
A dense Mana swirled around her, forming a vortex and flowing into her body.
When all the surrounding Mana was absorbed, she suddenly opened her eyes. A silver glint flickered in her soft, golden eyes for a few seconds before fading.
Taking a deep breath, Angelica stood up. She could feel that her Mana had completely recovered to its pre-sealed level, even stronger. This improvement pleased her greatly.
Although there was still a large gap between her and her master, she was getting closer, step by step.
Glancing at the sun outside, Angelica stuck out her tongue slightly. “Oops, I was so focused on cultivating that I forgot the time…”
“Miss Anastasia, please continue your training. I’ll go prepare lunch.”
She nodded at Anastasia, who was currently struggling to lift a heavy spear, drenched in sweat, then bid farewell to Anthea and Violet and hurried towards the hall.
In the hall, Norma, seemingly bored, had tidied up everything, making the place spotless.
This made Angelica feel a little embarrassed. After all, as the only maid in the residence, this was her job.
“Norma, I’m so sorry,” Angelica said apologetically, “Cleaning the house is my responsibility.”
Norma wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled gently, “It’s okay, Angelica. Compared to Mr. Qin’s kindness in taking me in and giving me a place to stay, this is nothing.”
After a slight pause, a surprised look appeared on Norma’s face, “By the way, Angelica, when did you come down? Didn’t you go upstairs to ask Mr. Qin what he wanted for lunch?”
Angelica was stunned. “How could that be? I’ve been at the training grounds, receiving Miss Violet’s guidance and cultivating magic. I just arrived.”
“But I clearly saw you…”
Before Norma could finish her sentence, both girls’ faces changed.
Two Angelicas?
The next second, without any hesitation, they both rushed upstairs.
This was bad.
…
Upstairs, in Qin Chu’s bedroom, the two figures were locked in an embrace.
“Angelica” held Qin Chu’s head tightly, her soft and supple body straddling him.
The intense feeling of fullness made her eyes flicker with a strange light. This man was truly vigorous. If it weren’t for the mission, she wouldn’t want it to end so soon.
Her eyes had turned a purplish-red at some point, two strange arcs forming a heart shape in her pupils, with thin, wing-like patterns extending from the sides.
The small hand that had been caressing Qin Chu’s back had transformed into sharp claws.
A cold smile played on her lips.
The next second, her claws plunged towards Qin Chu’s heart.
Pfft!
The sound of claws piercing through flesh.
Then, a shrill scream.
But strangely, it was a woman’s scream.
It wasn’t coming from Qin Chu, but from “Angelica.”
The woman stared in disbelief. Her claws had pierced through a pillow and into her own chest, blood gushing out, staining the once-white pillow crimson.
The intense pain disrupted her Mana control, and her face began to shift and change, accompanied by strange crackling sounds.
A few seconds later, her appearance and figure completely transformed.
She was no longer the innocent and beautiful Angelica, but a seductive figure, like a Witch.
Her perfectly curvy body was clad in a sexy, tight-fitting leather outfit… or rather, it could hardly be called clothing, barely covering her vital parts.
Her long, fair legs were almost completely exposed, her purplish-red hair cascading down her back. Her face wasn’t particularly beautiful, but it held a strange, captivating allure.
She wore black high heels. If she had a whip in her hand, she would be the perfect dominatrix!
But now, her face was twisted in a mask of rage and pain, looking as terrifying as a vengeful ghost.
So, she hadn’t been with the Hero at all, but with a damned pillow?
The thought made her lips tremble with humiliation.
This damned man had been playing her all along… using that damned illusion.
She turned abruptly and saw a figure leaning lazily against the wall, arms crossed, a mocking smile on his face.
As she glared at him, the hateful man even raised a hand in a casual wave:
“Hi…”
