Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Taming Successful! The Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly Joins

Oh?

Su Xuan’s heart pounded with excitement as he read the series of notifications.

The Witch’s Magic Power had been nullified by the Slime King’s protection, and he had even absorbed that wisp of the Night Witch’s Original Magic Power!

’Incredible!’

’Praise the Slime King!’

[Original Magic Power of the Night Witch (?): It has no special function, yet it possesses an indescribably wondrous use. As the Night Witch is also known as the Traitorous Witch, it deals 100% Special Attack effect against Witch-type units!]

"This description is a bit vague," Su Xuan remarked, puzzled by the introduction to the Night Witch’s Original Magic Power. However, since it wasn’t a negative effect, he didn’t dwell on it.

Perhaps one day in the future, some Witch would suffer a crushing defeat because of this wisp of Original Magic Power hidden within Su Xuan’s body. He just wondered which poor Little Princess it would be.

"Now..."

Su Xuan refocused his gaze on the Flame Cocoon. Having lost its master, its Taming Probability had increased by 10%. Furthermore, thanks to the effects of the Frost Fragment and Slime Condensate, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s rage and Aggressiveness had been successfully reduced, increasing the Taming Probability by another 10%.

’A 20% Taming Probability!’

’How could I not succeed with this?’

"Here we go!"

Su Xuan took a deep breath and gently placed his hand on the Flame Cocoon once more.

The moment his fingertips touched the Flame Cocoon, a scorching Flame flashed through his mind, vaguely coalescing into the shape of a butterfly...

’No, that’s not right!’

Su Xuan’s expression turned grave. His consciousness continued to reach out to the soul of the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly, attempting to form a contract and tame it.

As the image of the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly in his mind grew clearer, he was surprised to find that it wasn’t a butterfly in the traditional sense.

Instead, it was a... Flame Spirit? Its body was woven from scorching flames, with butterfly wings sprouting from its back.

Huh?

Su Xuan studied the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly curiously, but its form was still too blurry to make out clearly.

[Proceed with taming? (Probability: 20.1%)]

A notification popped up, awaiting Su Xuan’s confirmation.

"Yes!"

The moment Su Xuan confirmed, a wisp of blue Soul Power separated from his soul and drifted toward the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly.

When his blue Soul Power penetrated the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s body, its fiery form suddenly trembled violently, as if in great pain.

However, after a brief moment of agony, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly seemed to gradually calm down. A mysterious smile even appeared on its face, which was woven from flames.

[Taming successful!]

[Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly (Legendary) has become your pet!]

"My luck’s pretty good~"

Su Xuan’s lips curled into a faint, satisfied smile.

’A 0.1% chance would have been ridiculous, but 20% seems much more reasonable. It’s a lot easier than pulling an SSR in a mobile game.’

After the taming process concluded, Su Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

At that exact moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the Flame Cocoon before him.

Then, the surface of the cocoon peeled away layer by layer, blooming outward like a flower.

Su Xuan waited with bated breath for the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly to emerge, eager to witness the magnificent presence of a Legendary Demon!

POP~

As the last fragment of the Flame Cocoon drifted gently to the ground, the true form of the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly was finally revealed to Su Xuan.

It flapped its wings cheerfully, flew in front of Su Xuan, and twirled in circles, as if expressing its heartfelt joy.

And also...

’Isn’t it still just a butterfly?’

However, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s body was woven from scorching flames, yet it gave off a very gentle feeling and wouldn’t harm friendly units. In fact, getting close to it, one could even feel a trace of pleasant warmth.

Its Flame Wings were even more dazzlingly beautiful, emitting specks of fluorescent light like a Fairy scattering stardust.

Notably, the flames on the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s wings were a reddish-purple, looking extremely dangerous! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Its body, however, was made of silver flames, which were gentler than the reddish-purple ones. Countless white points of light seemed to flicker within its body, giving it a unique appearance that felt both mysterious and perilous.

"This little one sure has big dreams..." Su Xuan glanced at the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s information panel and smiled faintly.

’Butterflies and phoenixes aren’t even in the same biological family, but this is a game world. Who knows what a continuously evolving Silver Phoenix Butterfly will eventually become?’

"Come on up, little one."

Su Xuan called out softly, and the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly landed gracefully on his shoulder.

The Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly settled obediently on his shoulder. The little creature was virtually weightless and wasn’t a burden at all.

"Let’s go," Su Xuan said softly, turning to Rosaline.

"Mm."

...

"Su Xuan... He’s going to be okay, right...?"

Roxia stared gravely at the area shrouded in icy mist. Two hours ago, the sea of flames had been completely covered by it.

She knew in her heart that this was the work of the Frost Fragment.

But had Su Xuan succeeded or failed?

All she could do was wait anxiously!

The other Knights also watched the icy mist nervously. Only Ivsha’s expression was calm, her eyes glinting with deep trust in Su Xuan.

A few seconds later, the snow-blue mist was slowly parted, and the figures of Su Xuan and Rosaline appeared before everyone.

"He really did it!"

"It’s unbelievable! He came out of those terrifying flames completely unscathed?"

"What’s that on his shoulder?"

"Could that be a Flame Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly?"

"He not only destroyed the Flame Cocoon but also tamed the Flame Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly? No, wait, a Flame Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly shouldn’t be that small. Could it be a hatchling?"

"Holy cow!"

Everyone was shocked and overjoyed that Su Xuan was safe!

They were even more astonished that Su Xuan had actually managed to tame the Flame Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly’s... hatchling!?

"Mr. Su Xuan, are you hurt? Do you need me to heal you?" Ivsha asked with concern as she gracefully approached.

"Don’t worry, I’m not hurt."

"You can’t be too careful, my dear President~ Let me give you a full physical examination back at the Guild. The prayer of a Holy Nun will heal all your pain!"

"..." Su Xuan raised an eyebrow. ’Ivsha isn’t being subtle about her intentions at all!’

"Mr. Su Xuan, is this little one a new member of our Guild?" Ivsha asked curiously, her gaze shifting to the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly.

"I suppose so."

As Su Xuan spoke, he gently guided the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly to fly onto Ivsha’s shoulder.

Although the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s flames were very gentle, having it constantly perched on his shoulder felt a bit strange, almost like when Rosaline’s little water snake was wrapped around him.

’Perhaps it’s because the tactile feedback in the game is transmitted in a special way, making me a little... sensitive~’

"Thank you so much, Mr. Su Xuan! You’ve saved us once again!" Roxia came before Su Xuan and gave him a respectful Knight’s salute.

The way she looked at Su Xuan had also subtly changed, now tinged with a hint of adoration.

"Let’s leave this place first. The murky air in the Underground City is making me uncomfortable," Su Xuan said calmly.

"Right!"

Soon, the group left the Underground City and returned to Yerman’s family castle.

After returning, Roxia immediately went to record the events that had transpired in the Underground City. Of course, she would conceal certain things, such as the parts related to Su Xuan. This was at his request.

At that moment, Su Xuan was sitting in the reception room, taking a light sip of black tea. He was waiting for Roxia to return so he could ask about the time and schedule for the coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow, as well as matters concerning the beast tide.

’Does Roxia’s Curse really have such a heaven-defying effect?’

’Attracting a beast tide with just a fragrance is simply too ridiculous.’

"This black tea feels like it’s missing something," Su Xuan said, putting down his cup. Ever since he had Natasha’s specially made black tea, he couldn’t forget the taste and longed to have it again.

’If possible, I’d also like to taste the authentic, original... flavor...’

"Mr. Su Xuan, is that you?"

Just then, a Female Knight in Golden Armor walked into the reception room where Su Xuan was.

"Is there something I can help you with?" Su Xuan asked.

"Her Highness the Princess has requested your presence," the Female Knight replied.

"The Princess?" Su Xuan raised an eyebrow. ’What could Princess Vivian want with me?’

Feeling a bit suspicious, he stood up to meet her.

The Female Knight stopped at the door of a room, raised a hand to signal for Ivsha and Rosaline to stay put, and then said to Su Xuan, "Her Highness the Princess is waiting for you inside. You are to go in alone."

Su Xuan shot Ivsha and Rosaline a reassuring glance before gently pushing the door open.

The moment he entered, his gaze was immediately drawn to a pair of flawless, jade-like little feet. Each toe was crystalline, as if it were a finely carved work of art. The faint pink of her ankles was utterly alluring, making one unable to resist the urge to play with them.

’Whose meal is this?’

’If no one wants it, I’m picking it up!’

Just then, a light voice drifted over, like a spring breeze brushing past his ear.

"Mr. Su Xuan, I have a request that I’d like your help with..."
