Chapter 196: Saintess? Bullshit! (Part 1)
O’Niens had been constantly flirting with Inas along the way, giving Qin Chu the cold shoulder. Qin Chu didn’t bother with them either. There had been no interaction between them, so who would have thought that this idiot O’Niens would actually attack him directly?
He didn’t care about the broken light seal, but the crimson thread, which had been sealed inside by the Holy Light, took the opportunity to burrow into O’Niens’s body, finding a new host.
Qin Chu was speechless.
He didn’t even know what to say.
He looked at O’Niens as if he were looking at a landlord’s foolish son.
On Earth, he would be the typical good-for-nothing rich kid, with terrible grades, yet somehow managing to graduate from a prestigious foreign university… People thought that children from wealthy families would receive an elite education and become outstanding talents, but cases like this were definitely not uncommon.
Being the son of the former Holy Maiden of the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess had given O’Niens a head start in life from the moment he was born.
The most difficult first step in cultivation, sensing elemental energy? It wasn’t difficult for him. His mother had instilled her consciousness into him, guiding him to directly absorb magic elements.
Saint Quartz were rare treasures and materials, but for O’Niens, they were just ordinary tools used during cultivation.
Potions that accelerated cultivation speed and increased Mana capacity were priceless, but for O’Niens, they were just ordinary drinks.
Precious magic spells? Were they really that precious? Weren’t they something he could get whenever he wanted?
Magic teachers? His mother was the best magic teacher.
Powerful magic staffs? Oh, those things, there were as many as he wanted in the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess’s treasury.
Before O’Niens was even born, his mother had already arranged his future. If he were a girl, she would be the next Holy Maiden. If he were a boy, he would be the Saint Son.
O’Niens was just a beautiful puppet, walking along the path his mother had paved for him.
And one thing was very important.
That was that O’Niens’s mother was still alive.
She had voluntarily stepped down from her position as the Holy Maiden of the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been Saint Monique’s turn… This also resulted in a large number of believers in the Church flocking to O’Niens’s side. Growing up in an environment of extreme pampering and flattery had made O’Niens arrogant and conceited.
Actually, in Qin Chu’s eyes, O’Niens’s talent wasn’t that outstanding. With countless Saint Quartz and potions, the best magic teachers and spells, his level was only 79, even lower than Inas’s.
It could be seen that if it weren’t for his mother, the former Holy Maiden, O’Niens’s achievements in this life would have been very limited.
Although Qin Chu understood why O’Niens had developed such an arrogant and domineering personality, he didn’t expect him to dare to directly attack him, the Hero.
Holy shit, you idiot!
This was the only thing Qin Chu could think of after a long while.
These words drew O’Niens’s mockery. He wasn’t angry, only disdainful, “As the Hero, to utter such vulgar words is truly undignified.”
“An outsider from another world, you have no manners at all.”
To be angry at a barbarian like Qin Chu would even be beneath him.
“Hero, I think you shouldn’t spend all your time on women and cultivation. You should spend more time learning the etiquette of high society in the Heavenly Continent. Otherwise, your behavior will disgrace all of us in the upper class.”
What a dumbass! The world was about to be trampled flat by Demon Beasts, and he was still talking about etiquette? Was there something wrong with this guy’s brain?
O’Niens seemed to have just remembered the sphere of light he had shattered, “By the way, Hero, what was that thing just now?”
Qin Chu shrugged, saying it was nothing. He stood up from the ground and stared at O’Niens. This gaze puzzled the Saint Son, “What are you looking at?”
“Nothing, I just think… you’re so damn handsome,” Qin Chu said with sincere admiration.
He and Shaye had been studying this thing, but they couldn’t reach a definite conclusion. Shaye had suggested that perhaps they could put this thread back into someone’s body and observe the changes, to determine its true effect.
Practice makes perfect!
But Qin Chu couldn’t use innocent, unrelated people for experiments. And then, this kid O’Niens had delivered himself to his doorstep, offering his body for the sake of scientific research in the Heavenly Continent. Qin Chu was truly touched.
He looked at O’Niens and patted him on the shoulder. This action displeased O’Niens, and he brushed Qin Chu’s hand away irritably.
Qin Chu wasn’t angry at all. He praised O’Niens’s noble sacrifice again, “Master O’Niens, I might have misunderstood you before, but now I realize that you are truly an outstanding person, with a noble character willing to sacrifice everything for the future of this world. Please allow me to express my deepest respect.”
Although O’Niens was used to all kinds of flattery and praise, being praised by the Hero still made him feel a little proud, and he subconsciously raised his head.
“Ah, right, Master O’Niens, did you come to me for something?”
O’Niens finally remembered his true purpose, and his expression became serious again, “Hero, I’m here to warn you, don’t even think about Inas, don’t try to make a move on her. Inas is mine…”
“Yes, yes, you can rest assured about that, Saint Son,” Qin Chu nodded, “I swear in the name of the Goddess of Holy Light that I will never make a move on Miss Inas.”
“If I break this oath, may the Goddess of Holy Light inflict the cruelest punishment upon me.”
“Are you satisfied now, Saint Son?” Qin Chu raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.
In this world, swearing in the name of the goddess was a very solemn act. O’Niens nodded with satisfaction. Just as he turned to leave, he saw a figure walking towards them. It was Sylph, the Ghost Archer, a former member of the Hero Squad.
A filthy half-breed.
O’Niens had no favorable impression of Sylph. Although she looked beautiful, in his eyes, the purity of bloodline was paramount. Half-breeds were filthy and disgusting.
Even being near her would make O’Niens feel tainted.
But this time, for some reason, the moment he saw Sylph, he was captivated.
The moonlight shone on her fair face, giving it a jade-like luster. Although it wasn’t the first time he had seen her, O’Niens suddenly realized how beautiful this elf was, dreamlike, like a goddess in a dream.
There seemed to be an astonishing charm about her, drawing him in.
His gaze became fervent, his breathing quickening.
After a long time, O’Niens realized that his gaze might be a bit impolite. A gentlemanly smile appeared on his face, and he bowed elegantly, “Ah, beautiful Miss Sylph, the moonlight tonight is so bright, it must be shining for your beauty.”
“It’s my honor to meet such a beautiful goddess on such a beautiful night.”
O’Niens praised Sylph’s beauty with exaggerated words, like a bard. He took a step forward, seemingly wanting to take her hand and kiss it. But his disgusting appearance only made Sylph’s hair stand on end. Before he could even see her move, he felt a flash before his eyes, and the next instant, his chest was hit by a powerful kick, sending him flying backwards, rolling on the ground.
For O’Niens, who cared so much about decorum and etiquette, this was extremely humiliating. But he didn’t feel any anger at all.
His eyes even sparkled, as if he found Sylph’s unconventional behavior even more captivating.
He watched as Sylph walked straight towards the Hero, and as Qin Chu pulled her into the tent.
Seeing their embracing figures under the firelight, a surge of intense jealousy flashed through O’Niens’s eyes.
He didn’t know why, but he had disliked Sylph so much before, yet now, seeing her with Qin Chu, he felt so uncomfortable, as if something that belonged to him had been taken away.
He even had the urge to rush in and beat that damned Hero to a pulp, or even kill him…
But fortunately, although the rage in his heart was strong, O’Niens could still control it. Suppressing his feelings, he quickly left.
Near the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess’s camp, Inas was waiting by the campfire. Seeing her lover return, her eyes lit up, and she waved at him cheerfully.
O’Niens habitually tried to smile, but for some reason, it was very difficult for him to smile at Inas now.
Compared to the beautiful elf Sylph, the Saintess of the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess was like a pile of dog shit, filthy and disgusting.
Not to mention compared to the elf, she was even far inferior to the maids beside her.
He didn’t know why, but he seemed to have suddenly lost all interest in his lover.
“Sorry, Inas, I’m a little tired and need to rest. You go back first,” O’Niens said coldly.
Inas was stunned, a look of disappointment on her face, but she didn’t think much of it. After telling him to rest early, she turned and left.
After Inas left, O’Niens’s gaze suddenly fell on the nun who had been taking care of him. An ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
Perhaps he should call her “Auntie”?
After all, she seemed to be in her fifties.
But for some reason, he wanted to possess this woman.
