Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

At that moment, Paslo flicked her fingertips and released a spell. A black mist rapidly spread, obscuring the vision of the Dark Elves.

The door then slowly closed, completely sealing the room from the outside world.

"Now~ no one will disturb us~"

Paslo’s fingertips slid gently, reigniting the wisp of Holy Light and making it shine with brilliant radiance.

GULP.

Su Xuan’s throat bobbed as he involuntarily swallowed. ’There’s no escaping this ordeal today!’

In that case...

Bring it on!

(A description of the sealing ritual follows, with a hundred words omitted.)

...

"Honestly! That guy!"

By now, Alina had already rushed back to her room.

She immediately dashed into the bathroom and frantically washed the Holy Marks from her face and body, trying to get rid of the strong, strange fragrance that was making her very uncomfortable.

Although she had accidentally come into contact with the Holy Light a few times before, this was the first time the contact had been so intense.

Some of the Holy Light had even accidentally trickled between her lips...

As her thoughts drifted, Alina gently pursed her lips. The strange taste lingered in her mouth, making her heart flutter.

’It actually tastes... pretty good?’

’Wait!’

Alina snapped back to her senses. She covered her apple-red cheeks with her hands and frantically muttered to herself, "What are you thinking, Alina?! How could you! Have you gone mad?!"

She then fell into a long silence, letting her heartbeat return to normal. But the strange feeling still lingered in her heart, making it difficult for her to calm down completely.

"That damned bastard!" Alina could no longer contain her anger. She stomped her foot, her eyes filled with a mixture of love and hate for Su Xuan.

Just then, the Elf Queen’s gentle voice came from outside the bathroom. "Alina, are you in your room?"

’The Queen!?’

Hearing the Elf Queen’s voice, Alina’s heart instantly started racing. She never imagined the Queen would come looking for her at a time like this!

She looked down at herself. Although the Holy Marks were already washed away, she could still smell the sacred aura Su Xuan had left on her.

’No!’

’I absolutely cannot go out and greet the Elf Queen like this!’

Alina hurriedly replied, "Q-Queen! I’m bathing right now, so I can’t come out to greet you immediately. Is there something important?"

Normally, Alina would have just wrapped a towel around herself and gone out to greet the Elf Queen.

But today was completely different. There was no way she could see the Queen in her current state.

"You’re in the bathroom? Then I’ll just speak to you from out here." Outside, the Elf Queen’s silhouette flickered gently on the door.

She continued, "Lady Rose has assured me that the situation in the Star Kingdom will stabilize within a month, at which point Princess Vivian will inherit the throne. I need you to prepare some things as a congratulatory gift."

"Princess Vivian is inheriting the throne?" Alina was utterly shocked to hear this news.

She asked the Elf Queen in confusion, "Why Princess Vivian? Wasn’t Lady Rose supporting Princess Catherine before?"

"I’m not sure of the reasons myself," the Elf Queen’s voice echoed from outside the door. "But that is the reality. We are merely offering our blessings. The state affairs of the Star Kingdom have nothing to do with us, the Elf Race, and we have no right to interfere."

"Yes, I understand."

Alina nodded, wondering whether she should tell Su Xuan about this.

Just then, the Elf Queen added, "Oh, and do not tell President Su Xuan about this. Lady Rose will tell him herself."

"As you command..."

...

"Thank you, President Su Xuan. You’ve completed the seal for me once again!" Paslo said to Su Xuan, full of gratitude.

After an hour-long sealing ritual, Su Xuan had finally succeeded in reinforcing and perfecting Paslo’s seal, but the process had drained nearly all of his stamina.

Moreover, Su Xuan had been in a passive state throughout the entire process.

Paslo had held him in her arms, cradling him as if he were her own child...

AHEM, AHEM.

’The feeling was novel, but... I don’t want to experience it again.’

’Compared to being passive, I much prefer to take the initiative.’

’But...’

’When facing Paslo, it really is hard to find an opportunity to take the lead.’

’Her physique alone is imposing enough.’

’Although they hadn’t had any... in-depth exchanges or discussions yet, Su Xuan couldn’t help but suspect that even if he went all out with his Half-Dragon Transformation, he might still feel a sense of powerlessness, like he’d stumbled into the Abyss...’

AHEM, AHEM.

"Do you need me to help you wash up?" Su Xuan immediately changed the subject, asking Paslo gently.

At that moment, brilliant Holy Light glittered on Paslo’s silvery-gray skin. If it wasn’t cleaned off in time...

But Paslo just smiled and shook her head, saying gently, "It’s alright. I can accept all of your Power."

As soon as she finished speaking, the brilliant Holy Light began to be slowly absorbed by Paslo’s skin.

Like rain being devoured by a parched earth, the Holy Light flowed across her skin and gradually merged into her body.

In just a few moments, the Holy Light vanished without a trace.

The sight made Su Xuan stare intently at Paslo, his heart filled with shock.

’Paslo isn’t an Abyss!’

’She’s a black hole!’

"I’m truly grateful for your help this time." Paslo smiled as she climbed off the bed. "If it weren’t for you, I was afraid I might have ended up fighting Tinas during the ritual."

Su Xuan smiled and said nonchalantly, "It was nothing, not worth mentioning."

’For some reason, though, he kind of wanted to see a fight between Paslo and the Elf Queen.’

’It was probably... just a personal quirk of his.’

After exchanging a few more words, Su Xuan left, returning to the Guild via the Teleportation Array.

Lucia and the others had, of course, returned to the Guild before him and were waiting for his arrival in the main hall.

"Is everything with the Elf Kingdom settled?" Lucia asked with concern, her gaze turning to the newly returned Su Xuan.

"Mhm, more or less," Su Xuan nodded, a satisfied expression on his face.

Now, with Paslo’s help, the Elf Kingdom’s defensive Magic Array would be greatly enhanced.

At the same time, while he didn’t know the details of the deal the Elf Queen had struck with Edith, it was surely beneficial to the Elf Kingdom. This double guarantee should help the Elf Kingdom resist the Undead Monarch’s invasion.

Now, all he needed to do was wait for the Elf Scout Team to find traces of the Undead Monarch, then cooperate with the Elf Queen to defeat him.

"Alice, prepare a cup of coffee for me."

Su Xuan ordered as he sat down on the sofa.

"Right away, Master!"

While he waited, Su Xuan submitted the quest from the Elf Kingdom.

[Quest from the Elf Kingdom (Completed)!]

[Quest Rewards: Gold Coins +10, 100,000 EXP, Legendary Artifact +1]

[Item Obtained—Elf Flower (Legendary)]

[Elf Flower (Legendary): A plant unique to the Elf Kingdom. It can cure any negative status effect!]

"The Elf Flower?"

Su Xuan looked at the Elf Flower’s effect description with a hint of confusion.

’This Elf Flower can cure any negative status effect? Then what about Paslo’s Power of Dark Fallen...’

Su Xuan immediately shook his head, rejecting the idea.

’Because the source of the Power of Dark Fallen is the Elf Mother Tree, it’s probably not as simple as a negative status effect.’

’If it were truly effective, the Elf Race would have used it to solve their Dark Elf problem long ago.’

"Perhaps it’ll have an unexpected use later on."

Su Xuan muttered, then placed the Elf Flower into his inventory.

Just as he was about to organize his inventory, Mare Rhine suddenly pounced on him, her petite body landing in his lap.

She reached out with her small hands, grabbed Su Xuan’s cheeks tightly, and shouted with a hint of displeasure, "Human! I have something to say! I have a complaint!"
