Chapter 460 - 310: You Gave Yourself Away, Pope! The Saintess’s Original Flavor White Silk
"The Pope, honestly... Why did she have to pick me to deliver a message to Kaelis? She knows full well that I have a grudge against that woman!"
Vanessa couldn’t help but complain under her breath after receiving Lucia’s command.
As the Princess of the Sun Sect Country, she had always been rivals with Kaelis, the granddaughter of a Cardinal. Naturally, they didn’t get along.
Now, Lucia wanted her to go and notify Kaelis, which was a huge headache for her.
But since it was an order from the Pope, she couldn’t refuse and could only accept it in silence.
Vanessa slowly walked to the window and snapped her fingers softly. A pure white dove appeared at the sound, landing obediently in the palm of her hand.
"Go on~"
Vanessa released the dove, sending it to invite Kaelis to the Land of Light Judgment in her name.
But just as she released the dove, she immediately sensed something strange about Lucia’s order.
She didn’t understand why her Pope would invite Kaelis to the Land of Light Judgment. That place was an area for punishing criminals, and Kaelis was certainly no criminal.
The only other possibility was the Land of Light Judgment’s unique Trait—Magic Ban!
The problem was, Kaelis was a Saintess with some of the greatest physical strength in the entire Bright Church Court!
Even with Magic and the Power of Faith suppressed, she could still fight an adult Earth Dragon!
In the Land of Light Judgment, without her Magic and Power of Faith, Lucia probably wouldn’t be a match for Kaelis either!
’In that case...’

A cunning, wicked smile suddenly appeared on Vanessa’s sunny and cheerful face, as if she had already seen through the Pope’s intentions and was eagerly anticipating the drama that was about to unfold.
’This is going to be a good show~’
...
「The afternoon arrived in a flash.」
Su Xuan had led the Guild members to complete three daily tasks and, while they were at it, tested the two new Guild Achievement Badges he had obtained—[Moonlight Paradise] and [Blue Heart Sea].
The effects of these two Guild Achievement Badges both required specific trigger conditions, so their practical use was far less than the previous ones: [Pure Saintess], [Silver Desire], and [Succubus Breeder].
After some consideration, Su Xuan decided to swap out these two new badges for now and store them in the Guild’s ’Achievement Showcase’.
Next, Su Xuan casually pulled up the Guild’s resource summary.
Currently, his ’Puff Fantasy Land’ Guild had a total of 489 Gold Coins, plus some Silver and Copper Coins.
The Experience Pool contained 1.86 million experience points and 37 Ascension Crystals.
’Looks like I need to complete Lucia and the others’ challenge tasks as soon as possible,’ Su Xuan muttered to himself, his gaze shifting to the trait library.
At the moment, there was only one trait in the library—"Void"—but this trait made him feel somewhat... uneasy?
"Hoo~"
After letting out a long breath, Su Xuan stood up, ready to head to the Bright Church Court with Lucia.
This actually made him a little excited. After all, he had never been to the main hall of the Bright Church Court before.
"Lucia, we should..."
Just as Su Xuan was about to set off, he realized Lucia was gone.
?
He froze for a second, then turned to Viora and Alice, who were sitting in the main hall playing with Xue’er. "Where’s Lucia?" he asked, confused.
Alice looked up, blinked, and answered, "Sister Lucia? She should be in the Starry Sky Cinema."
?
Hearing Alice’s answer, Su Xuan paused for a moment, then hurried toward the Starry Sky Cinema room.
Ever since the Guild was expanded to include the Starry Sky Cinema, it had become a popular hangout for the members in their spare time.
Lucia was especially fond of this new area. She often spent hours at a time here and had a preference for watching old arthouse films.
Other members would also occasionally visit the Starry Sky Cinema, but Ivsha had only gone inside once.
That one time, she had gone in looking for Su Xuan, but after failing to find him, she left, disappointed.
KNOCK KNOCK!
Su Xuan knocked softly on the door of the Starry Sky Cinema. Lucia’s voice came from behind it: "Come in."
He pushed the door open and went in, seeing Lucia sitting upright on the cinema’s sofa, her attention completely fixed on the screen in front of her.
As for what was playing in the cinema...
’Tom and Jerry?’
Su Xuan walked over to Lucia’s side and reminded her softly, "Lucia, we should be going."
"Mm."
Lucia nodded, turned off the cinema, and stood up with a calm expression. She then led Su Xuan toward the Bright Church Court.
A flash of white light, and they teleported to the location of the Bright Church Court.
As soon as he found his footing, Su Xuan found himself in a majestic and imposing palace.
He looked up and saw that the palace was at least ten thousand square meters in area, vast and solemn. When he took a step forward, his footsteps echoed through the empty hall, as if the entire space was responding to his arrival.
The four walls of the palace were painted a golden yellow, the color of the sun, and were carved with all sorts of complex patterns. Every detail exuded exquisiteness and grandeur.
In the very center of the palace, a Golden throne rested quietly atop a high dais.
It radiated a dazzling golden light, as if it were the focal point of the entire palace, and seemed to be waiting for someone’s arrival.
"Where is this?" Su Xuan looked around, his gaze filled with curiosity, though he already had a faint guess as to the answer.
"The main hall of the Bright Church Court," Lucia answered succinctly, her face still devoid of any expression.
"You brought me here..." Su Xuan turned his head and stared at Lucia. "Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the Pope?"
