Chapter 83: Chapter 8: The Epic Succubus Fruit? About to be Devoured by a Succubus

Just after everyone had taken their seats, a middle-aged man with a mustache entered their line of sight. He was draped in a magnificent brocade robe, a wide belt fastened around his waist. An exquisite Short Sword hung from the belt, its hilt inlaid with complex runestones, a symbol of his authority.

This was the Sunset City Lord. His appearance immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

"Everyone." The Sunset City Lord’s voice was deep and powerful, capturing the attention of every Guild President. He then began a detailed explanation of the upcoming defense battle. "Regarding the impending beast tide, we must be fully prepared..."

Su Xuan chose a spot in the corner and listened quietly to the Sunset City Lord. At the same time, he attempted to use his Player privileges to inspect the City Lord’s information.

However, he discovered that all he could read was the Sunset City Lord’s name, Gu Kaishi, and his Level: 35.

All other information was shrouded in an intangible black mist, making it impossible for him to see. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Su Xuan turned his head slightly and asked Rosaline, who was behind him, "Rosaline, did you have any dealings with the Sunset City Lord when you were alive?"

A flicker of recollection crossed Rosaline’s eyes. She answered faintly, "We were merely acquainted, but Roxia’s father shared a deep friendship with him."

Su Xuan pressed on, "Between you when you were alive and the Sunset City Lord, who was stronger?"

"I could take him on with one hand."

"..."

As Su Xuan and Rosaline spoke, the Sunset City Lord’s gaze suddenly swept over Rosaline. A mysterious glint flashed in his eyes, as if he were hiding some deeper meaning.

The meeting lasted for about an hour. The main topic was how to logically divide the 23 Player Guilds into four teams, which would be assigned to the north, south, east, and west gates to help the Warriors of Sunset City resist the beast tide.

Su Xuan was assigned to the east gate. His team consisted of five Players—four men and one woman—along with their respective Adventurers.

To facilitate coordination, the 23 Players created a group chat to manage this special event together.

After the meeting ended, Su Xuan was preparing to leave with Rosaline and the others when the Sunset City Lord stopped him.

"Guild President, a moment of your time!"

Su Xuan asked, puzzled, "Is there something I can help you with, City Lord?"

The Sunset City Lord explained calmly, "I heard that the Oath Knight of the Yerman Clan has returned after ten years. She and I were good friends a decade ago, so I was hoping to meet with her alone."

Su Xuan rejected the City Lord’s request without hesitation. "I’m sorry, but she is not the Knight you’re familiar with. She cannot accept your invitation."

Su Xuan was very clear in his mind: he had never mentioned to anyone that Rosaline had recovered her memories. He hadn’t even had the chance to tell Natasha yet.

How could he possibly let the City Lord meet Rosaline alone?

Upon hearing Su Xuan’s reply, the smile on the City Lord’s face gradually vanished, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. "Is that so? That is a real shame."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "I truly hope I can see Rosaline again one day. After all, she was once Sunset City’s most powerful Guardian!"

With that, he gave Su Xuan a deep look, then turned and walked away.

"Let’s go."

Su Xuan didn’t stay long either, leaving the City Lord’s Mansion right away.

...

In an instant, Su Xuan was back at the Guild, but only Ivsha was by his side. Rosaline had not returned, informing Su Xuan that she had some matters to investigate and was staying in Sunset City by herself.

"Master~ You’re finally back~"

The moment he returned, Alice approached Su Xuan with an enthusiastic hug.

"Mmm~ Pour me a cup of coffee, with extra sugar." Su Xuan gently stroked Alice’s hair as he murmured the request.

"Right away~"

Alice obediently went to prepare his coffee. Just then, Ivsha rushed over.

"Mr. Su Xuan~ About what you said you’d do when you got back..."

Her eyes were filled with fervent anticipation, like someone who had been starving for a long time and was desperate to be satisfied.

"Er... I’d like to finish my coffee first. Do you mind waiting a bit?"

"Of course I don’t mind!"

A few minutes later, Su Xuan pushed open his door and saw Ivsha sitting quietly on the edge of his bed, a smile on her face, as if she were waiting for his appearance.

"Mr. Su Xuan~"

Upon seeing Su Xuan, Ivsha immediately stood up. However, the moment she rose, her custom-made Nun’s Habit slid from her body, scattering on the floor like petals and instantly revealing her flawless, pristine form. Her heart-shaped tail twitched and swayed rapidly, unable to conceal her inner delight.

She couldn’t wait any longer!

"Ivsha, do you remember me mentioning setting up a prayer room in the Guild?" Su Xuan asked as he walked to the side of the bed and slowly sat down.

The moment he sat down, Ivsha pounced on him, throwing him back onto the bed.

"MWAH~ A prayer room? I do believe you mentioned that~"

Ivsha could no longer think straight and immediately began to enjoy her meal.

’Never mind,’ Su Xuan thought. ’We’ll talk about this later!’

(What followed was the succubus’s feeding process. Ten thousand words will be omitted...)

...

「Two hours later.」

"Mr. Su Xuan? Mr. Su Xuan?"

Ivsha gently shook Su Xuan’s body, a look of confusion on her face. "Strange... The Holy Light is still flickering, so why isn’t he responding? Could it be I took too much?"

Although Ivsha was genuinely concerned for Su Xuan’s well-being, her hips still couldn’t help but sway.

Su Xuan was speechless. ’Why has Ivsha’s craving for Life Magic Power suddenly gotten so intense?’

Just when he thought he was about to use a resurrection coin for the first time, everything around him suddenly stood still.

Ivsha, too, stopped moving, frozen in place.

’What’s going on?’

Su Xuan showed a hint of confusion. At that moment, an elegant figure had silently seated herself in the wooden chair by the bed.

She gently waved the rose folding fan in her hand, silently observing the scene before her.

She murmured softly, "Can’t hold on any longer?"

Su Xuan turned his head to look at the beautiful woman sitting beside him.

It was Edith!

"Isn’t your timing a little... inappropriate?" Su Xuan asked with a slight frown, his voice laced with embarrassment.

"Don’t be so shy, little one~"

Edith replied nonchalantly, "I can perceive everything about this child—her sense of touch, hearing, sight, and so on. I can feel everything that happens between you, so there’s no need to hide anything from me."

"All her senses?"

Hearing this, Su Xuan’s expression was one of pure astonishment.

He glanced at the frozen Ivsha, then turned his head back to Edith, his eyes filled with disbelief.

’For real?’

’Doesn’t that mean...’

Edith immediately sensed Su Xuan’s unspeakable thought. Her elegant brows furrowed, and her voice became cold. "You’d best dismiss those childish ideas. I’m here to fulfill my earlier promise."

As she spoke, she produced a fruit from out of thin air.

The fruit was covered in intricate patterns. On closer inspection, most of the patterns were heart-shaped.

"What is this?"

"The Succubus Fruit. Eat it, and you will gain the power of a Succubus." Edith said, handing the fruit to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan took the Succubus Fruit. Its skin was different from what he’d imagined—it was soft and gave off an alluring aroma.

[Succubus Fruit (Epic): A special fruit capable of altering one’s Physique. It must be watered with Succubus Blood to mature.]

Su Xuan took a bite. It tasted surprisingly good!

Just as he was about to eat the rest of the fruit, Edith suddenly added, "Oh, right. After eating this fruit, you have to avoid touching seawater."

"What?"

Su Xuan stopped chewing. ’I can’t touch seawater?’

"What happens if I touch seawater?"

Edith gave a faint smile. "You’ll know when the time comes~"

The moment she finished speaking, a series of notifications popped into Su Xuan’s view.

[You have consumed the Succubus Fruit!]

[All Attributes +50!]

[Charm +10!]

[Gained Additional Trait—Succubus Physique!]

[Succubus Physique: +0-10! Special Attack against the opposite sex +100%!]

"Eh?"
