Hero? Are You Worthy?
Chapter 873 - 1, 4000 words)
Appearance can change, but aura can't be hidden.
The moment Jie Luo's Conscious Control took over this body, Rose Vesper's heart confirmed it was her lover.
They had been together for so many years, she would never mistake him.
The feeling was like when Asina was first deceived by Qin Chu's disguise.
Compared to Rose Vesper, Asina and Silf's reactions were much more indifferent; these two women only squinted, their pupils devoid of the emotion of seeing a former lover again, only showing slight derision, disgust, even hatred.
After all, in Jie Luo's original plan, they were the most important tools, and their outcome might only be slightly better than Diaberlic's.
Any past feelings had long vanished from their hearts.
Now, they have new lovers.
What they worried about wasn't Jie Luo, but whether their master would distrust them due to Jie Luo's appearance.
Under such concern, Asina and Silf quickly reacted, instinctively leaning towards where Qin Chu was, almost nestling against him.
In comparison, Catherine's reaction was intriguing.
Jie Luo?
The name was both strange and familiar.
Once, even if someone mentioned this name, it only felt foreign to Catherine; she knew Jie Luo was once her teammate, but that was all.
She loved her master and had nothing to do with Jie Luo, completely forgetting her feelings for him.
When Rose Vesper talked with her about killing Qin Chu to resurrect Jie Luo, it even evoked intense disgust and anger in Catherine.
Yet at this very moment, as Jie Luo's aura gradually emerged, Catherine felt an unprecedentedly intense shock, as if her brain turned chaotic.
Her heart was pounding fiercely.
The familiarity made Catherine unusually panicked, she couldn't comprehend the situation, but feared this weird feeling, as if something terrible was about to happen.
Even when Jie Luo's Soul Fragment was shattered, it never freed Catherine from the effect of City Beauty Love.
But facing Jie Luo in person, even the City Beauty Love crafted by a master couldn't suppress Catherine's instincts. Sourced directly from *.
She gasped heavily, her eyes fixed intently on the so-called Jie Luo opposite her.
She felt as if a sharp blade was deep in her mind, seemingly trying to tear apart certain barriers.
The pain was so excruciating that Catherine couldn't help but let out a sharp wail.
Qin Chu had a smile at the corner of his mouth, his gaze sweeping over Catherine, seemingly eager to see what Catherine would ultimately become... whether she retrieved her correct memories and consciousness, then raised the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword against him, or something else.
Catherine's reaction was also seen by Silf and Asina, and both glanced at each other, seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
Once, the Hero Team was full of intrigue and deceit, externally all good brothers and sisters, but disgrace behind the scenes.
But after following Qin Chu, this situation had long vanished.
Perhaps it wasn't absolute sincerity, but at least the relationships were quite good, after all, having spent so long together, there was still emotion.
These two girls looked worriedly at Qin Chu and Catherine, unwilling to see Catherine's tragic ending.
Catherine's reaction even caught Rose Vesper's attention.
Ever since she sensed that familiar aura, suspecting the Demon King opposite was Jie Luo, Rose Vesper couldn't control a strong impulse in her heart; she wanted to rush over, embrace her lover, kiss his lips, hold his body, and tell him about how agonizing this period had been for her.
Before, listening to Qin Chu, Rose Vesper had only doubts… She felt if everything Qin Chu said was true, then she was a fooled clown.
She even wanted to question Jie Luo why he did this, why he made her endure so much pain, why he left her longing for so long without contact…
She had so many grievances to vent.
However, the moment she sensed Jie Luo's aura, all resentment disappeared.
All that remained in Rose Vesper's heart was indescribable happiness and warmth, she even felt like crying, as long as Lord Jie Luo was alive, nothing else mattered much.
If Qin Chu wasn't in front, Rose Vesper guaranteed she would have rushed over, but unfortunately, Qin Chu wouldn't allow it.
Gurgling... gurgling...
Then, Rose Vesper heard a weird sound from Catherine's side, looked over instinctively, and saw Catherine's almost distorted face, and her eyes filled with struggle.
What's with this woman?
Could it be that although she has pledged allegiance to Qin Chu, she's still coveting Jie Luo?
Rose Vesper's mind was adept at imagination, almost within a few seconds, she seemed to have completed a series of thoughts… Surely it was that Catherine knew Jie Luo's Soul Fragments were crushed, had to fully rely on Qin Chu, now seeing Jie Luo alive, she immediately wavered again.
