Chapter 105: Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment Is Empty?
Violet had been waiting here for a thousand years, waiting for the light.
This situation made Qin Chu feel like he was being calculated. He felt as if Violet had been forcefully shoved into his arms by some entity.
Although Violet was three meters tall, Qin Chu didn’t dislike her previous madness. Rather, he found it a different kind of thrill.
However, the feeling of being manipulated made him very uncomfortable, and this wouldn’t change no matter what.
Violet was just a pitiful tool being used!
She was one of the oldest Witches. Her physical body had long since decayed, and the current Storm Witch was only in a soul state. But perhaps because she had accepted the authority of the Storm Lord, Violet’s soul body was almost indistinguishable from a normal physical body.
She had a heartbeat, breath, and body temperature…
It was only because she was pierced with countless holes by the light swords of Holy Light’s eruption that she showed a difference from ordinary people.
Violet’s strength was still quite good. Although Holy Light’s eruption was the bane of ghosts, it wasn’t enough to instantly kill her. The wounds on her body were rapidly recovering, and her form seemed to become thinner.
Her struggling body gradually calmed down.
She felt warmth in Qin Chu’s arms, a gentle warmth that wouldn’t burn her.
She felt safe. After a long thousand years, she had finally waited for the “He.”
She felt aggrieved, feeling sad for her thousand years of loneliness, solitude, and torment.
“Why, why did you only come now… Why couldn’t you have appeared sooner…”
Violet murmured softly. She had truly waited for far too long.
Perhaps it was because she had finally waited for Qin Chu, finally able to put down the burden she had been carrying for a thousand years, that Violet felt a sense of relief. Or perhaps it was because the damage to her soul body was too severe, and she was already very weak.
Violet rested her head on Qin Chu’s chest, complaining about why he had only appeared now. Her fist, slightly larger than Qin Chu’s, gently pounded on his chest.
Slowly, she actually fell asleep.
She probably hadn’t had a good rest for a very long time.
Although in Qin Chu’s heart, she was a very useful tool, just like Anthea, she was also a pitiful person.
Footsteps came from the stairs.
It was Ekaterina. She had been making noises upstairs as Qin Chu instructed, but suddenly she felt a powerful surge of energy downstairs. The bright white light was clearly visible even from the second floor.
Ekaterina’s heart skipped a beat. Worried that something might have happened to Qin Chu, she hurriedly ran downstairs. But as soon as she reached the bottom, she saw Qin Chu holding Violet in his arms, the two of them looking very intimate.
This scene made Ekaterina feel as if a thorn had been stabbed into her heart.
Her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with flames of anger. Of course, this anger wasn’t directed at Qin Chu at all. She would never feel any anger towards her master. It was directed at Violet.
This damned vixen, actually seducing her master while she wasn’t around?
Damn it, damn it, damn it… bitch… Kill her!
In an instant, a strong killing intent surged in Ekaterina’s heart.
She felt her hand trembling, as if she could no longer control it.
The intense killing intent even shocked Ekaterina herself. She quickly shook her head. How could she have such strong negative emotions without knowing what her master was doing? It was simply unacceptable. Taking a deep breath, Ekaterina suppressed the killing intent in her heart and walked towards her master:
“Master…”
Ekaterina originally wanted to ask what had happened, but the words that came out of her mouth turned into a complaint, “I’ve been calling out upstairs for over two hours, my throat is hoarse, but Master is here holding another girl.”
She pouted, feeling very unhappy.
Qin Chu’s face suddenly darkened, and he glanced coldly at Ekaterina. That look alone made her tremble all over.
“Ekaterina, have you forgotten your identity?”
Gulp…
Intense fear made Ekaterina’s body tremble uncontrollably, her delicate face instantly turning pale. Her master’s words terrified her.
It was a tone that kept her at arm’s length.
It was as if her master was about to abandon her.
“Master, I, I didn’t mean it that way, I…” Ekaterina explained in panic, but the more afraid she was, the more she couldn’t speak properly.
Seeing that Ekaterina was about to cry from anxiety, Qin Chu suddenly broke into a smile.
That smile seemed to reassure Ekaterina slightly.
“Ekaterina, what are you thinking? Your identity is my woman!” Qin Chu tilted his head and said with a smile, “Since you’re my woman, shouldn’t you support everything I do?”
Ekaterina was a little confused.
Ah, that’s right, she was her master’s woman. No matter what her master did, she had to fully support him. How could she be dissatisfied just because her master was holding another woman in his arms?
It was simply unacceptable. Ekaterina deeply blamed herself for her previous jealousy and resentment.
She lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing her like this, Qin Chu thought to himself that although the effect of Stunning Love seemed to be good, it wasn’t enough to rely on it alone. He should pay more attention to controlling Ekaterina in his daily life.
After all, this tool was really useful. She was also Qin Chu’s spy planted within the Hero Squad. He didn’t want to destroy this tool for the time being.
He would also find an opportunity for Shaye to use Stunning Love on Ekaterina again.
While thinking about this, Qin Chu beckoned to Ekaterina. This valiant Valkyrie, at this moment, was like a little girl who had done something wrong, walking timidly towards Qin Chu, waiting for his punishment.
But Qin Chu didn’t punish her. Instead, he gently stroked Ekaterina’s cheek, “Ekaterina, remember, I can’t spoil you enough, how could I punish you?”
“Moreover, you did a good job just now, buying me a lot of time. You’re amazing.”
Qin Chu praised her.
A bright and happy smile instantly bloomed on Ekaterina’s face. She felt the emptiness in her heart caused by the previous fear instantly filled.
She smiled foolishly. As expected, she was still the most important person to her master.
Even though her master was holding another woman in his arms now, his love for her would definitely not diminish. She felt that she loved her master even more.
Give a slap and then a sweet date.
Actually, Qin Chu didn’t know much about psychology, emperor studies, or anything like that. He could only strengthen his control over Ekaterina through this method, and it seemed to be quite effective.
“Ekaterina, I have another task for you,” Qin Chu said.
Ekaterina immediately straightened her body, her pretty face full of excitement. As expected, her master still trusted and loved her. He didn’t doubt her because of what she had just said and was still willing to entrust her with important tasks.
“Go search the temple.”
“Do you remember the crystal Miss Violet showed us yesterday?”
Ekaterina thought for a moment, “Master, are you talking about the crystal condensed from Jie Luo’s soul fragment?”
Qin Chu stared at Ekaterina’s face. When she said these words, her expression didn’t change at all. She didn’t react to the name Jie Luo, which made Qin Chu quite satisfied.
“That’s right, go find it for me.”
“Understood, I’ll go right away.” Ekaterina didn’t dare to delay and left excitedly.
“Shaye, please follow her and see what Ekaterina looks like after she touches Jie Luo’s soul crystal,” Qin Chu said to Shaye after Ekaterina left.
It was precisely because Ekaterina was such a good tool that Qin Chu couldn’t leave her for the time being, so he had to ensure her loyalty.
If Ekaterina showed any abnormalities after coming into contact with Jie Luo’s soul fragment, such as trying to hide it privately or even take it away, then he would have to abandon this tool.
Shaye also understood Qin Chu’s thoughts and nodded, following Ekaterina. As a warrior, Ekaterina didn’t notice Shaye’s ability.
Violet was still sleeping in Qin Chu’s arms.
Qin Chu was thinking about how he could persuade Violet to follow him like Anthea and successfully control her after she woke up.
The Stunning Love potion probably wouldn’t have any effect on a spirit body like this.
Anthea stood quietly by the side, motionless, her small body gripping a spear taller than herself.
Although he didn’t know what Anthea was thinking, she seemed to have automatically taken on the role of Qin Chu’s bodyguard. When Ekaterina wasn’t around, Anthea would step up and be responsible for vigilance.
On the other side, Ekaterina, after receiving Qin Chu’s order, began to search for Jie Luo’s soul fragment.
The first place she searched was Violet’s bedroom. After all, it seemed that Violet didn’t have anything like a storage ring, and her clothes had been changed into a black gauze outfit, basically leaving no place to hide anything.
Therefore, Jie Luo’s soul fragment was most likely left in the room when Violet changed her clothes.
Perhaps in order to make up for her previous blunder, Ekaterina actually used her brain for once. Her judgment this time was quite good, and she quickly found the crystal in the drawer of the dressing table in the bedroom.
The moment her finger touched the crystal, Ekaterina’s body trembled slightly as if she had been electrocuted.
A hint of confusion appeared on her beautiful face, and she felt a strange sense of familiarity…
Forget it!
Ekaterina quickly dismissed this thought. The confusion in her heart was replaced by the joy of completing the task so quickly. She happily took Jie Luo’s soul fragment to Qin Chu.
Instead of taking it immediately, Qin Chu glanced at Shaye behind her. Shaye shook her head slightly at him.
Although Ekaterina had shown a slight strange reaction, it wasn’t enough to break free from the control of Stunning Love. However, even this slight reaction was absolutely unacceptable. He would have to reinforce it later.
Qin Chu felt a little relieved. He held Violet in one arm and took Jie Luo’s soul fragment with the other.
A slight smile appeared on his lips.
Qin Chu had thought that he would be so excited that his fingers would tremble, but when he actually got the soul fragment, he found that he was surprisingly calm.
Although evil thoughts were swirling in his mind, his consciousness wasn’t affected by it at all.
He picked up the soul crystal with two fingers and examined it before his eyes. With this thing, he had the capital to threaten any member of the Hero Squad.
As long as he read the memories within the soul crystal, he could know what kind of abilities Jie Luo possessed and why the members of the Hero Squad were so devoted to him.
He could understand what happened when Jie Luo fought the Demon King one-on-one.
He could find answers to many of the questions in his heart.
Qin Chu took a deep breath and immersed his consciousness into the soul crystal, beginning to explore the memories contained within…
Shaye watched quietly from the side. She also hoped that Qin Chu could find the answers.
But after only a few seconds, Qin Chu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze turning gloomy:
“Jie Luo’s soul fragment… is empty?”
