Chapter 188: The Blissful Witch Society (Part 3)
Qin Chu looked at the furious woman before him and said with a cold smile, “Impersonating someone else is a shameful act, miss.”
“And even if you were impersonating someone else, I might have been interested in playing along. But you chose to impersonate my Angelica?”
Disguise, transformation!
Qin Chu wasn’t the originator of these skills, but he was certainly an expert. He had seen through her disguise the moment he laid eyes on her. Did this woman really think she had fooled him?
Although Qin Chu wasn’t a true gentleman, he wasn’t indiscriminate in his tastes either.
Seeing this woman clutching a pillow and going crazy, Qin Chu almost laughed. Especially watching her drive her sharp claws through the pillow and into her own chest, screaming in pain, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
It was a good show, a clownish performance that amused him.
The only pity was that the pillow was ruined, soiled by this woman.
He knew that after the duel with the Grand Prince and the purification of Karsus, various forces would be targeting him, some seeking alliances, others seeking his death. This was normal… But he didn’t expect the first assassin to appear so soon.
Qin Chu praised his own willpower. This woman was clearly the type who could make a man lose his mind, and most would have succumbed to her charms, even if they saw through her disguise.
But he, Qin Chu, had no such vulgar desires. With his strong willpower, he had resisted the temptation, maintaining his purity.
He praised himself inwardly, then his expression turned dangerous.
This shameless method of disguising herself as Angelica to assassinate him angered Qin Chu. After all, Angelica was very important to him.
This felt like a desecration of Angelica.
“Alright, beautiful lady,” he said coldly, “now can you please tell me one thing? Who… are you?”
The woman’s face was contorted with rage.
She was skilled in the arts of seduction, knowing how to fully display her charms. Since completing her training, she had carried out hundreds of missions, never failing, whether it was a decisive general on the battlefield, a noble and elegant marquis, or even a member of the royal family.
In her eyes, all men were the same. No matter how elegant they appeared on the surface, no matter how strong they were, they were ultimately driven by their lower bodies. Faced with her temptation, any man would shed his disguise and revert to his primal instincts.
The Hero was also a man, and he would be no different.
But she hadn’t expected to be played by this man from the beginning.
Her anger made her look hideous.
She pulled out the glass magic lamp and smashed it on the floor, then pulled the claws from her chest.
Pfft…
Blood splattered on the bedsheets.
This gave Qin Chu a headache. My bed is stained now. Are you going to wash it?
The sexy, dominatrix-like woman ignored his annoyance and just stared at him. A long whip, covered in thorns, appeared in her hand… Well, now she truly looked like a queen… Of course, only in appearance. The difference in their aura was still vast.
At this moment, the door burst open.
Norma and Angelica appeared, their faces filled with panic. Angelica even screamed, “Master, that woman isn’t me…!”
Before she could finish, the mysterious woman’s eyes lit up, sensing an opportunity. She leaped from the bed and lunged towards Angelica.
Before reaching her, she flicked her wrist, and the whip, like a viper, snaked towards Angelica’s slender neck.
This woman was her only chance to escape.
Although she was confident in her strength, she still knew who she was facing.
He was the Hero, the one who had just defeated the Grand Prince and purified Karsus.
He carried the titles of Hero, Divine Emissary, Descending Angel, and more.
This man’s strength was definitely not to be underestimated. Even for her, defeating him would be very difficult, especially since there were many other experts in this residence. If she was surrounded, a quick death would be her best outcome.
But if she could take Angelica hostage, the situation would instantly reverse.
Everyone in the Heavenly Continent knew how much the Hero doted on this maid.
The whip was inches from Angelica’s neck. As soon as it wrapped around her, it would leave a bloody mark. A glint of excitement flashed in the woman’s eyes. She had known that this maid wasn’t very strong. This time, it was a sure win…
But just as she thought this, Angelica seemed to snap out of her shock, her expression turning serious. The next second, a holy white light erupted from her body.
It was as if she had become the Holy Light itself.
Holy Light Protection!
A bright light enveloped Angelica and Norma like a shield, deflecting the black whip. The woman’s fingers trembled, almost losing her grip on the whip.
Her face was filled with surprise. This wasn’t what she knew. Wasn’t this maid supposed to be weak? What was going on?
Every step of this assassination had been frustrating.
But compared to the amateur assassins sent by the Grand Prince, this woman was much more professional. Seeing that taking Angelica hostage was impossible, she used the whip’s recoil to launch herself backwards, aiming to crash through the window and escape.
However, this unlucky assassin didn’t know how many experts resided in this residence.
Not to mention Qin Chu himself, and Violet and Anthea.
Even though Ekaterina and Athena were out, and Airi was nowhere to be seen, there were still Sylph and Norma, two powerful level 80+ experts.
A mere level 70 assassin, although her strength was decent, how could she possibly escape from these two?
The woman crashed through the window, her toes landing nimbly on the windowsill. She spread her arms like a large bird and glided away.
She was very fast, like a gust of wind, flying over the residence. Just as she was about to escape, a triumphant smile appeared on her face.
But at this moment, with a boom, a wall of earth erupted from the ground in front of her.
Caught off guard, she couldn’t dodge and slammed into the earthen wall, dazed and disoriented. Before she could fall, a sharp arrow whizzed towards her.
With a piercing shriek, it pierced through her shoulder, pinning her to the wall. Looking closely, it wasn’t an arrow at all, but a clothes fork.
Blood gushed from her shoulder and chest.
Her falling body tore at the wound, intensifying the pain, her face contorted. But her willpower was strong. Even in this miserable state, she didn’t scream, her hand struggling to pull out the clothes fork embedded in her shoulder.
Norma and Sylph emerged from the room. Being besieged by two level 80+ experts, the assassin must feel a sense of… pride?
Qin Chu and Angelica followed. Qin Chu was surprised by Angelica’s strength. It seemed that her recent training with Violet had yielded considerable results. She was much stronger than when she first came to him.
Looking at the woman writhing on the wall like a worm, Qin Chu felt a flicker of pity. “Why bother?” he asked, “If you had just answered my questions honestly, you wouldn’t have to suffer like this.”
“What if the wound had been a little deeper and scarred your beautiful face? Wouldn’t that be a waste?”
“So, can you answer my questions now? Who are you, and who sent you to kill me?” Qin Chu’s tone was calm, without a hint of anger.
He was even smiling, but that smile made the woman’s scalp tingle.
“Of course, you can choose not to answer, but you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself. I believe you won’t want to experience that.”
As he spoke, Qin Chu walked towards the woman.
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, “Perhaps it would be better to let you experience it beforehand?”
He placed his hand on her forehead, and the next second, endless illusions flooded her mind.
Bloody, terrifying images played out before her eyes.
Her beautiful face, her pride, was carved with countless wounds, her body torn apart, white worms wriggling through her flesh and bone, her soul burning in demonic flames…
The pain seemed to manifest physically.
Even with her strong willpower, she couldn’t withstand Qin Chu’s incredibly realistic illusions. Her body trembled with fear, her face pale as death.
When Qin Chu removed his hand, her eyes were vacant, saliva dripping from her lips, her body convulsing uncontrollably.
“Now, tell me…”
“What’s your name, and where do you come from?” Qin Chu’s voice echoed in her ears like a ghost’s.
The woman shuddered, looking at him as if he were the most ferocious monster.
“Answer my questions, or I guarantee you, the pain you will experience will be ten times worse than what you just saw…”
As Qin Chu’s cold voice echoed, and his hand reached out again, the woman’s will completely crumbled.
She screamed, “I’ll tell you…”
“I’m from…”
“The Blissful Witch Society!”
The Blissful Witch Society?
The name didn’t sound like a good place… Qin Chu really wanted to ask for their address and if there were any requirements for becoming a member.
