Chapter 55: Chapter 55: The Princess from Afar

"Master~ whose letter is that?"

Ivsha’s alluring voice echoed in Su Xuan’s ears, like a soul-hooking siren, leaving him somewhat flustered.

Ahem~

"It’s a letter from a lady. She knows Sister Moran and asked me to meet her tomorrow," Su Xuan explained simply. That was all he knew.

"She knows Sister Moran?" A hint of confusion crossed Ivsha’s face.

But the thought of Sister Moran’s perpetually cold demeanor made the doubt fade.

"I don’t know how you met her, Mr. Su Xuan~ But!"

As Ivsha spoke, she gently revealed her wings and heart-shaped tail.

She didn’t even take off her Nun’s Habit. Instead, using her sharp nails, she tore a slit in the cumbersome fabric, just right to accommodate the searing Holy Light.

"I just need Master’s Holy Light to carry my scent forever~"

"..."

Su Xuan paused for a moment, then casually asked, "Ivsha, if you had a sister, or a mother, in this world, what would you do?"

"A sister? A mother?"

Ivsha was stunned by his words, even momentarily forgetting about the Holy Light she coveted.

Su Xuan said nothing in return.

He simply gazed into Ivsha’s beautiful, yet slightly bewildered, eyes. She seemed to have never considered such a question.

"Ivsha?"

After a long pause, Su Xuan asked softly.

"Ah~"

Ivsha finally snapped out of her daze, then said with a smile, "If I had a sister or a mother~ I would have them serve Master together with me~"

"?"

"That’s not necessary!"

Su Xuan rejected the offer outright.

"Hehehe~ Mr. Su Xuan, you’re so adorable~ Alright now~ let’s..." Ivsha turned her attention back to the Holy Light and said alluringly, "begin our prayers to the Holy Light~"

(What followed was a descriptive scene of praying to the Holy Light, of which a hundred thousand words will be omitted...)

...

Inside the church in Blue Moon City, a Priest was quietly reading a book. To his right, a Nun knelt, her body trembling, as if terrified of the Priest’s reprimand.

"You’re saying Pastor House has perished?" Pastor Tiriel put down his book and asked grimly.

"Yes, Pastor Tiriel. We have confirmed that Pastor House is dead, but the identity of the murderer is unknown. A Count has stepped forward to block our investigation," the Nun answered, trembling.

’I told him to do fewer of his bizarre experiments, but he just wouldn’t listen. What an idiot. However...’

A trace of doubt flashed in Pastor Tiriel’s eyes. ’A Count is stepping in to cover this up?’

He murmured, a smile curling his lips. "This is getting interesting."

The Nun immediately added, "Furthermore, a Baron also died in Silver Moon Town. It seems he was that Princess’s Royal Knight."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Pastor Tiriel’s eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that in that instant, he understood something.

"You may go."

"Yes."

The Nun replied respectfully, then slowly withdrew from the church.

Pastor Tiriel watched her retreating figure, stood up with a smile, and walked toward the Statue of the God of Light inside the church. He arrived before the statue, tapped his right foot lightly, and a secret door suddenly appeared beneath it.

The moment the door opened, a woman’s scream echoed from within.

He stepped through the secret door without hesitation, entering a hidden room within the church. As soon as he entered, he heard a man’s curses.

"Tiriel, the goods you found are terrible! Where are the well-trained, wanton Nuns? The church’s confession service? You haven’t delivered on a single thing you promised me! After I’ve invested so much in you, you’ve disappointed me greatly!"

Pastor Tiriel promised solemnly, "Rest assured, Mr. President, I will prepare the very best for you right away."

"You’d better be quick. Don’t keep me waiting too long!"

"An inspector from the Bright Church Court was stationed near Blue Moon City, so we had to find a scapegoat to avoid their scrutiny. You know as well as I that this ancient form of trade has been banned by the current Pope. If we were discovered, we would face severe punishment," Pastor Tiriel explained.

"However, I’ve just received news that the inspector has been temporarily transferred to another city. It seems they’ve found traces of a Witch there, so they won’t be back anytime soon. This time, I will handle things personally. I will definitely satisfy you, Mr. President!"

"Good, good, good! I look forward to your results!"

...

The next day, Su Xuan finished his classes and returned home.

He planned to play the game all night. Since tomorrow was Saturday and he didn’t have to work at the noodle shop, he had plenty of time to immerse himself in the game world.

After a simple dinner, Su Xuan put on his VR glasses and entered the world of the game.

He had many things to take care of today.

First, he had to resolve the Flame Cocoon crisis beneath Sunset City, and he also needed to keep his appointment with Edith.

Also, for some reason, he felt like he had gotten much stronger recently.

Before, he could only let Ivsha have her way with him, but now, he was beginning to show signs of launching a counteroffensive!

Every time he was about to reach his limit, Su Xuan could feel a mysterious Magic Power in his body relieving his fatigue, allowing him to rise to the occasion again and again in desperate situations and press forward bravely.

’Is it because of that sliver of Pure Sexual Desire Magic Power?’ Su Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he mulled it over. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Mr. Su Xuan, I’m here~"

The Guild’s doors slowly pushed open, and Ivsha arrived right on time.

Her face was filled with a joyous smile. Su Xuan’s performance last night was unforgettable, and she hoped for an encore right now. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the right time.

"Get ready. We’re heading out."

Su Xuan had received a message from Roxia. The Frost Fragments from the Icefield Snow Maiden had arrived in Sunset City, and the operation to destroy the Flame Cocoon could begin at any time.

"Mmm~"

The scene shifted, and Su Xuan arrived at the Yerman Clan’s Castle.

He noticed many carriages had arrived at the castle from afar, and one particularly magnificent carriage caught his eye.

"Mr. Su Xuan, you’re here!"

Natasha came forward to greet Su Xuan, dressed in a flamboyant style, her beautiful eyes shimmering with delight.

"These carriages are...?" Su Xuan asked curiously.

"They belong to the young people here to celebrate Roxia’s coming-of-age ceremony. The Princess is here too~" Natasha explained with a smile.

"I see."

"Let’s go inside. Roxia has been waiting for a long time."

Led by Natasha, Su Xuan headed to the Yerman Clan’s reception room.

Along the way, he saw many young Law Enforcement Knights in the Yerman Clan’s Castle. None of them were below Level 12, and there were even a few young Level 15 Knights.

In Sunset City, these would be considered exceptionally talented young Knights. After all, Roxia herself had only been Level 12 before. It was only after gaining the White Rose’s recognition that her Level had just risen to 14.

One could only imagine that the Knights from the Royal City were far more talented than those from a remote city like Sunset City.

When he arrived at the reception room, Roxia was sitting primly. Beside her sat a young girl in a pale yellow princess dress, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The young girl had long, light-orange hair, like flowing Sunshine cascading over her shoulders. Her figure was small and delicate, like a finely carved piece of porcelain—perfect yet fragile. Her stunningly beautiful face was like a sunflower blooming in spring, head held high toward the Sunshine, noble and brilliant. Her Golden eyes sparkled with an intelligent light, drawing one deep into their depths...
