Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

"That should take care of it," Lucia said, nodding in satisfaction. She then let out a yawn, a trace of fatigue flashing in her golden-red eyes.

She gently closed her eyes, sinking into a peaceful sleep on her throne.

Meanwhile, the fierce battle between Su Xuan and Kaelis was at its peak.

The repeated, fierce collisions had left visible cracks on Su Xuan’s Dragon Scale Armor. Intense pain washed over his every muscle like a tidal wave.

But compared to Kaelis’s armor, which was on the verge of shattering, Su Xuan was in much better condition.

’How is this guy getting stronger the more we fight!?’ Kaelis’s brow furrowed, her eyes filled with confusion.

She had held the absolute upper hand at the start, but as time went on, Su Xuan’s fighting power just kept climbing!

The reason, of course, was the White Silk that Vanessa had temporarily lent to Su Xuan.

Vanessa’s White Silk was not only constantly healing Su Xuan’s injuries but also providing him with an astonishing boost to his combat abilities.

’Is this thing really that good?’ Su Xuan glanced at the White Silk wrapped around his wrist, a flash of amazement in his eyes.

He even began to consider keeping the White Silk for himself. This thing was just too useful!

"This is over!"

The corners of Su Xuan’s mouth curled up into a confident smile.

His body blurred. He shot forward in an instant, the agility boost from Mare Rhine allowing his explosive burst of speed to break the sound barrier.

In the blink of an eye, Su Xuan’s massive fist slammed viciously into Kaelis’s abdomen.

OOF!

Kaelis had no time to defend herself. The punch sent her flying backward like a kite with a snapped string, and she crashed heavily onto the ground.

The impact shattered her red and white armor, pieces falling to the ground. Her helmet cracked open, revealing her stunningly beautiful face for the first time.

’Are all the Saintesses of the Bright Church Court this beautiful?’

Su Xuan sighed softly as he looked at Kaelis’s face.

He had now met three Saintesses from the Bright Church Court—Vanessa, Delorri, and Kaelis—and all three were exceptionally beautiful.

While they might have been a step below Lucia, it was hardly a fair comparison given Lucia’s unparalleled, world-class beauty.

Among all the women Su Xuan had met, perhaps only Edith and the Elf Queen could rival Lucia in terms of beauty.

"So painful!"

Kaelis bit down hard, her light gray hair falling in a messy tangle across her cheeks, adding to her disheveled appearance.

Su Xuan’s last punch left her body trembling violently, the pain so intense she could hardly breathe. She could clearly feel that two of her ribs had broken, and the pain crippled her ability to fight.

She instinctively tried to use Light Magic to heal her injuries, but to her dismay, the Magic Ban prevented her from using any Magic Power at all.

"Damn it!"

Kaelis let out a low growl. She took a deep breath, gritting her teeth against the pain as she slowly forced herself to stand.

Usually, before a fight, she would rely on various kinds of magic from the Bright Church Court to enhance her physical attributes.

But now, with the Magic Ban in effect, Kaelis was forced to realize that the physical strength she took so much pride in was pathetic in the face of a truly physically powerful foe!

"Dragon-man! I admit you’re strong!"

Kaelis suddenly broke into a provocative grin.

Golden veins suddenly bulged on her skin and her pupils turned bloodshot. She shouted at Su Xuan with crazed excitement, "But this is the forbidden ground of the Bright Church Court! I’ll never let you do as you please—"

But before she could finish, a sharp pain shot through the back of her head.

The next moment, Kaelis’s eyes rolled into the back of her head, and she passed out.

?

Su Xuan stared, stunned for a moment, as Kaelis collapsed. He turned his head in confusion toward Vanessa, who had just entered the Land of Light Judgment.

"That idiot was about to use a Secret Technique on you," Vanessa said, her tone a mixture of coldness and resignation. She complained, "If I hadn’t stopped her in time, either she would have died from burning through all her blood, or you would have."

Hearing Vanessa’s explanation, Su Xuan finally understood just how insane Kaelis was.

’If I had let that madwoman actually use her Secret Technique...’

Su Xuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He unwrapped the White Silk from his wrist and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Phew, that was close."

???

When Vanessa saw Su Xuan actually use her White Silk to wipe away his sweat, an incredulous expression appeared on her face, and an unconcealable flash of anger lit up her eyes.

She had just lent her power to Su Xuan to help him defeat Kaelis, and this was how he repaid her kindness!

"Give that back!" Vanessa angrily snatched her White Silk away, then grabbed the unconscious Kaelis by the ankle and dragged the fellow Saintess out of the Land of Light Judgment.

Su Xuan watched Vanessa’s retreating figure, smiling as he touched the tip of his nose. A faint fragrance lingered on his fingertips.

After resting for a moment to recover some of his strength, he dragged his weary body toward the main Divine Hall of the Bright Church Court.

When he stepped into the Divine Hall, Lucia was still fast asleep.

She was exhausted from her recent, overly busy schedule.

Su Xuan quietly approached her side without making a sound.

He glanced around, and after confirming that they were alone in the Divine Hall, he focused his gaze back on Lucia’s sleeping face. Her expression was serene and beautiful, like an Angel slumbering in the mortal realm.

Even knowing that Lucia was the Bright Pope, Su Xuan didn’t feel any major emotional shift. To him, whether she was a Saintess or the Pope, she was still an important member of his Guild.

Beyond that...

Su Xuan’s gaze locked onto Lucia’s tempting red lips, and a wicked thought surfaced in his mind.

’Lucia was the reason every muscle in my body is aching. Sure, I successfully thrashed Kaelis, but I didn’t come out of it unscathed!’

’Even with the All Attributes boost from Mare Rhine and the help of Vanessa’s White Silk, Kaelis was still a level 85 powerhouse. It had taken everything I had to defeat her.’

’And on top of that, Lucia had been hiding her true identity from me all this time, which really ticked me off!’

"Lucia, the Pope of the Bright Church Court..." Su Xuan murmured, gently raising a hand to cup her delicate chin, admiring her intoxicatingly beautiful face up close.

After admiring her for a moment, he leaned in and kissed her.

Her red lips were as soft as petals, fanning his desire. His idle left hand drifted down on its own, gently sliding until it came to rest on the snow-white skin of her chest.

Every one of his movements was as light as a feather, but the very instant he touched her, Lucia’s eyes snapped open.

A flicker of surprise flashed in her beautiful golden-red eyes. She hurriedly pushed Su Xuan away and asked, "Is it over already?"

"Yeah, I just got back."

Su Xuan gave a slight nod. Then he closed the distance again, pressing her back against the throne as he slowly began to undo her magnificent golden gown.

Lucia’s heart leaped in alarm. "Wait," she asked hurriedly, "you... you’re not planning on doing it... here?" Her voice was laced with disbelief.

Su Xuan answered simply, "I want my reward."

’Right now, I really want to desecrate the Bright Pope right here in the Divine Hall of the Bright Church Court!’

"You—!"

Lucia’s brow furrowed as she prepared to refuse him.

’This is the Divine Hall of the Bright Church Court!’

’Has Su Xuan lost his mind? Is he thinking with his little head instead of his big one!?’

’But Su Xuan really did help me fulfill one of my dearest wishes. He deserved a reward.’

After a brief moment of hesitation, Lucia looked up, her eyes shimmering, and said to Su Xuan, "Not here!"

"Fine~ In that case, let’s—"

Just as Su Xuan was about to reply, a biting cold wind suddenly swept through, and the temperature in the air plummeted in an instant!

’The Cold Spirit Saintess is here!’

Lucia instantly realized it was the Cold Spirit Saintess, coming to have an audience with her!

But!

’But the state I’m in right now—!’

"Pope, Bing Qin has an urgent matter to report!"
