Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

"Me?"

Su Xuan asked in surprise. He had originally thought he was just accompanying Alina to the Dark Forbidden Forest, but now he was being asked to stay behind specifically?

To stabilize the seal for Paslo?

"That’s right. You’re the best choice." Alina smiled, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Originally, this task was supposed to be mine, but since you’re here, it’s naturally most fitting for you to do it."

Su Xuan still found it a bit hard to believe. He looked toward Paslo, who was walking out of the wooden house.

Paslo also cast a gentle gaze his way and said, "Then I’ll be in your care, President Su Xuan."

"Alright then..."

Although Su Xuan still had his doubts, he agreed to stabilize the seal for Paslo.

At the same time, he began to speculate. ’The seal inside Paslo is likely related to the forbidden power of the Elf Mother Tree. This seal is probably the key to stabilizing her emotions, preventing her from going mad after becoming a Dark Elf.’

"Well, we’ll be leaving now~ Good luck, President Su Xuan~"

After bidding Su Xuan farewell, Alina and the Elf Guards sat on a leaf from the Elf Mother Tree, preparing to leave the Dark Forbidden Forest.

Su Xuan’s expression instantly darkened. He had a feeling he’d just been sold out.

"Oh, right~"

Just before leaving, Alina turned her head and shouted to Su Xuan, "If you see Jie Lan, say hello to her for me."

"Jie Lan?"

Just as Su Xuan was about to ask Alina who this Jie Lan she mentioned was, the leaf from the Elf Mother Tree soared high into the air and vanished without a trace.

And in the very next moment, a group of Dark Elves suddenly closed in, completely surrounding Su Xuan.

Just then, Paslo leaned down and said to Su Xuan with a smile, "The sealing will begin at six in the evening. While we wait, why not let the Dark Elves show you around our tribe?"

"That sounds good."

Su Xuan nodded. It was also a good opportunity to use this time to learn more about the Dark Elves.

One of the two conditions for saving the Elf Kingdom was to have the Dark Elves return to the Elf Kingdom.

Although he wasn’t sure what specific message the Elf Queen had conveyed to Paslo through Alina, Su Xuan’s intuition told him it was unlikely to lead directly to a reconciliation between the Dark Elves and the Elf Kingdom.

Therefore, he understood that he needed to take the initiative and find a more suitable way to fulfill these two conditions.

"Then let me show Su Xuan around the tribe! May I? Lady Paslo!"

Niru eagerly raised her hand, volunteering to be Su Xuan’s guide.

"I’ll leave it to you, then, Niru." Paslo nodded with a smile, then turned to Su Xuan and said gently, "I hope you have a pleasant time."

As her voice faded, Paslo, surrounded by numerous Dark Elves, walked into the wooden house.

"Well~ Su Xuan, let’s go!" Niru immediately took Su Xuan’s hand, ready to show him around the tribe where the Dark Elves lived.

"Mm."

As dusk fell, Su Xuan, under Niru’s guidance, toured the Dark Elves’ living and activity areas, which gave him a much deeper understanding of their customs.

Unlike ordinary Elves, the Dark Elves preferred to live in darkness.

Moreover, the Dark Elves often suffered from headaches due to Fallen Power.

To alleviate the symptoms, they would enter the Dark Abyss Spring to bathe.

This Dark Abyss Spring was somewhat similar to the Forest Spring in the Elf Kingdom, containing the Elemental Power of the Dark Forbidden Forest.

However, its water had a silver-gray luster, similar to the tone of Paslo’s skin, only slightly duller.

Su Xuan asked Niru about the origin of the Dark Abyss Spring, but Niru knew very little about it herself.

She only knew that this place, called the "Dark Forbidden Forest," was the habitat Paslo had found for the Dark Elves, and that Paslo had led them here.

In addition, during the tour, Su Xuan also explained to Ivsha and the others why he hadn’t been at the Guild and assigned them their next tasks.

Lucia and Rosaline were to lead everyone to complete one C-level Task and three daily commissions.

"It’s almost time. We need to return to the tribe and begin the sealing ritual," Niru said, glancing at the sky to remind Su Xuan.

"How often does Paslo’s seal need to be stabilized?" Su Xuan asked Niru as they walked.

"Lady Paslo needs to have her seal stabilized every three days!" Niru answered seriously. "So, unless it’s for something particularly important, she doesn’t usually leave the tribe. But today’s situation is a bit special!"

"Special?"

"Mhm!"

Niru nodded and explained further, "The tribespeople are preparing Dark Flowers. These flowers are usually only used when Lady Paslo needs to leave the Dark Forbidden Forest."

"?"

Hearing this, Su Xuan fell into thought. ’Does that mean the Elf Queen’s message, delivered by Alina, was that she wanted to meet with Paslo? But that raises a question: why was I left behind in the Dark Elf tribe? To supervise?’

Just as he was pondering this, they arrived back at the Dark Elf tribe.

There, Paslo was kneeling under a giant tree, surrounded by a carpet of Dark Flowers. The flowers emitted a faint glow in the twilight, adding a touch of beauty to the whole ritual.

Niru walked up and quietly asked another Dark Elf, "Is the ritual about to begin?"

"Yes."

A Dark Elf nodded with a worried expression and said, "But Jie Lan hasn’t returned yet. We really don’t know who should preside over the ritual to stabilize Lady Paslo’s seal."

"Jie Lan hasn’t come back yet?" Niru’s expression instantly became grave upon hearing this.

"Maybe she ran into some trouble on the way and was delayed," another Elf guessed.

Jie Lan was the strongest of the Dark Elves after Paslo. Because this sealing was special and sudden, her failure to return on time made the Dark Elves feel a little uneasy.

Just as everyone was murmuring uncertainly, at a loss for what to do, Paslo’s voice drifted over. Her gaze was fixed on Su Xuan as she said with a smile, "You don’t need to worry. Didn’t Princess Alina leave a suitable candidate for us? I believe~ President Su Xuan can help me successfully stabilize the seal."

"Su Xuan?"

"That human?"

The Dark Elves’ gazes turned to Su Xuan in unison, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.

Su Xuan now understood completely. ’Alina’s reason for having me stay wasn’t a coincidence. It seems she already foresaw that Jie Lan wouldn’t be able to return to the tribe on time.’

"Please come to my side, won’t you?"

Paslo’s gentle voice beckoned to Su Xuan, gesturing for him to enter the ritual area surrounded by Dark Flowers.

Su Xuan didn’t hesitate. Following her instructions, he walked steadily to stand before Paslo.

The moment he stopped, a jet-black Magic Power rose up like a curtain of night, tightly enveloping both him and Paslo.

Outside, the Dark Elves all sat on the ground, quietly awaiting the outcome of the ritual.

Su Xuan looked at Paslo before him and asked in confusion, "What do you need me to do?"

"Please wait a moment."

Paslo gave a slight nod and took a step back, positioning herself under the giant tree.

Immediately after, the giant tree extended several vines, like iron chains, and gently wrapped them around Paslo’s limbs.

At the same time, the white bandages wrapped around Paslo’s body began to slide off, revealing her dazzling skin, which shimmered like the Milky Way.

This scene made Su Xuan’s brow furrow slightly, but a flash of appreciation couldn’t help but cross his eyes.

And a question arose in his mind: ’Why does this ritual involve taking off clothes?’

Just then, Paslo’s voice, tinged with apology, reached his ears. "I might become a little strange in a moment. During the process, you must do whatever it takes to keep me at least partially conscious."

"Of course, you can use any means you deem appropriate~"

As she finished speaking, sharp weapons of all shapes and sizes appeared beside Su Xuan...
