Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

Chapter 255: Chapter 163: Pope Is Drunk? Then It’s My Turn

"It’s nothing."

Su Xuan hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Lucia, trying to change the subject. "Where did you just go?"

"I drank too much coffee."

Lucia replied casually, seemingly unconcerned, but her golden-red eyes hidden beneath the white veil remained fixed on Su Xuan.

COUGH COUGH~

Su Xuan coughed, a little unnaturally, his gaze flickering away.

’Right now, I’m not sure how to proceed with Lucia’s hidden character quest. From her perspective, I don’t know what was in the envelope, nor do I know the real cause of death for that Golden Giant Dragon.’

So, for a moment, Su Xuan had no idea how to comfort Lucia.

He recalled that the last time he’d had to comfort a girl was before he came to this world, and that girl had been his older sister...

COUGH COUGH~

"Lucia, about that letter..."

Su Xuan decided to slowly steer the topic back to Lucia.

"I’ve already torn that letter up," Lucia replied, her tone cool as if she were deliberately trying to hide her inner turmoil.

Moreover, Su Xuan noticed that when he watched Lucia, her gaze would inadvertently shift away.

"Then it’s torn."

Su Xuan continued, "It’s almost six in the evening. Aren’t you going back to the Bright Church Court?"

"There’s nothing going on at the Church Court today. I’d like to stay a little longer, is that a problem?~" Lucia said, glancing toward the Guild’s hot spring room. She wanted to bathe before returning to the Bright Church Court.

After all, bathing here at Su Xuan’s place didn’t involve so many tedious procedures.

Back at the Bright Church Court, the handmaidens had to prepare a bunch of odds and ends, which just wasted her time.

’Besides, there are other amusements here.’

"Well~" Su Xuan said with a smile, rubbing the tip of his nose.

Lucia said nothing more and walked straight to the hot spring room.

Su Xuan watched her leave, then fell into deep thought, pondering how he could have a more meaningful conversation with her.

’Maybe I can ask Ivsha and the others for some help.’

So, he decided to go find Ivsha, who was in the main hall holding a Bible.

Ivsha wasn’t piously reciting from the Bible, however. She was trying to learn more Light Magic in an attempt to overpower Su Xuan’s Holy Light.

Ever since Su Xuan had learned Half-Dragon Transformation, she could no longer overwhelm him when it came to Life Magic Power.

As a Succubus, she couldn’t simply accept losing to a human.

Therefore, Ivsha had become even more diligent in her studies, trying to reclaim her pride!

"Ivsha?"

Su Xuan called out softly as he sat down beside her.

"What is it, Mr. Su Xuan? Is something the matter?" Ivsha asked, putting down the Bible with a puzzled look.

"Ivsha, do you know how to comfort a girl?" Su Xuan asked, hoping to get some advice from her.

"Comfort a girl?"

Hearing this, Ivsha pondered for a moment before answering, "Lick her~"

"..."

A flicker of confusion crossed Su Xuan’s face. Clearly, Ivsha meant "lick" in the physical sense, not as a form of emotional comfort.

"Anything else?"

"Stuff her..."

"Okay, okay, that’s enough."

Su Xuan realized Ivsha’s advice probably wasn’t applicable to a normal girl, but rather only to a Succubus.

So, he decided to seek more appropriate advice from someone else.

But when he thought about the other Guild members...

’Rosaline probably isn’t very good at comforting people, which is clear enough from her conversations with her niece, Roxia.’

’As for Mare Rhine, she’s like a problem child herself, so she’s out of the question.’

’Maybe I could try asking Alice for some advice.’

Su Xuan looked toward Alice and found her and Viora giving a Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly a bath... ’Wait, can a Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly, an Elemental Creature made of the Fire Element, even take a bath?’

"Forget it. I’ll just have to figure it out myself."

Su Xuan rubbed the tip of his nose, deciding to come up with a plan on his own to complete Lucia’s hidden quest.

Just then, Naida, who resided in the Soul Crystal Ball, seemed to sense Su Xuan’s trouble. She materialized from the crystal ball, swishing her dragon tail as she asked, "Mr. Su Xuan, is something troubling you?"

Naida’s appearance brought Su Xuan an inexplicable sense of relief, as if he’d found a ray of hope.

"Naida, do you know any ways to comfort a girl?" Su Xuan asked.

"The way to comfort a girl depends on why she’s sad," Naida replied.

"It’s probably due to a sense of longing and guilt toward someone who has passed away."

"What was that person’s place in her heart?"

"Probably a master or a mother figure."

"I understand." Naida nodded, then stepped lightly to Su Xuan’s side and whispered softly in his ear, "I’m not sure if this will help, but you could try to fill the void in her heart in your own unique way. Use one feeling to compensate for another."

"Hmm, that does make some sense."

Su Xuan mulled over Naida’s advice. The concept was still a bit vague, but he understood it was something he had to put into practice and experience for himself.

After all, there’s a first time for everything.

"Thanks for the advice. I know what to do now," Su Xuan said, walking toward the hot spring room with newfound confidence.

He was determined to complete Lucia’s hidden quest today!

"Mr. Su Xuan?"

His reaction left Naida stunned. She... hadn’t even finished speaking!

In the blink of an eye, Su Xuan was at the door to the hot spring room. He pushed it open and went inside.

Inside the hot spring room, steam billowed everywhere, creating an almost otherworldly atmosphere.

"Lucia?" he inquired softly.

"What are you doing in here?" Soaking in the hot spring, Lucia frowned slightly when she saw Su Xuan barge in, a hint of displeasure on her face.

The last time had been an accident; she had been affected by an anomaly with her Divine Attribute and needed Su Xuan’s help.

But that didn’t mean Su Xuan could just barge in whenever he pleased while she was bathing!

"Lucia, about the contents of that letter..."

Su Xuan approached Lucia. She was still wearing that golden garment of hers, the one that would disappear once submerged in the hot spring.

"You don’t need to worry about that. It’s best if you just forget it, understand?"

Lucia shot Su Xuan a cold glance, her tone laced with ice.

Su Xuan’s gaze tightened slightly. ’Looks like my relationship with Lucia hasn’t reached that intimate of a stage yet. But as the Guild President, how can I just stand by and watch her be sad?’

Little did he know, Lucia’s words were meant to make Su Xuan quickly forget about her childhood bed-wetting.

"Lucia, if anything is troubling you, you can tell me. As the Guild President, I’m here to listen to everyone’s problems," Su Xuan said.

"..."

In response to Su Xuan’s words, Lucia merely glanced at him, a complex emotion flickering in her golden-red eyes.

After a brief hesitation, she said, "There’s no need."

Hearing this, Su Xuan’s heart sank.

’Lucia’s inner world is really hard to get close to!’

Just as he was feeling helpless, Lucia looked at him again, seemingly weighing something in the depths of her heart.

After a period of silence, she finally began to speak slowly. "I don’t know why you’re so intent on comforting me, but if you really want to..."

Lucia trailed off. She rose from the clear water of the pool, her wet skin gleaming alluringly.

"Have a drink with me."

With a light wave of her finger, a bottle of fine wine shimmering with a golden luster appeared on the stone table, along with two exquisite glass goblets.

Su Xuan nodded and sat down across from Lucia.

But after sitting down, he couldn’t tear his eyes away from her.

Her snow-white body was clad only in that thin, golden garment, with golden Dragon Scales perfectly placed to cover her private areas, which only served to make her more alluring.

"Drink. And stop staring at me," Lucia warned, glancing at Su Xuan.

"Mm..."

Su Xuan picked up his goblet, but his eyes couldn’t help but drift back to Lucia’s face.

Lucia’s white hair was soaked from the spring, clinging to her snow-white skin. The steam had brought a flush to her cheeks, making her look exceptionally tempting. Her golden-red eyes glittered in the light, as if they could steal one’s very soul.

This left Su Xuan’s mouth feeling dry. He poured himself a goblet of wine and downed it in one go, trying to calm his racing heart.

It didn’t work. ’Another one!’

"You can hold your liquor?" Lucia asked softly.

"Not really," Su Xuan said, shaking his head to indicate he wasn’t much of a drinker.

"Is that so?"

A slight smile played on Lucia’s lips. She gently lifted her goblet, took a small sip, and then said, "If you get drunk, I’ll help you to bed."

"..."

Su Xuan said nothing, simply continuing to refill Lucia’s goblet.

They didn’t speak much, just drank in silence.

While they drank, Lucia would often zone out for no apparent reason, as if lost in memory.

After a few goblets, Su Xuan’s vision started to blur, but he was still conscious enough not to pass out from the alcohol.

What he found strange was that the amount of wine in the bottle never seemed to decrease. ’Is this some kind of Magic from Lucia, too?’

"What kind of wine is this?"

Su Xuan glanced at the bottle, a hint of confusion on his face, before pouring himself another full goblet.

When he went to pour Lucia another drink, he found she had already passed out.

"Drunk?"

Su Xuan frowned slightly. ’I thought Lucia could hold her liquor. She’s out after just a few glasses?’

"Lucia?"

Su Xuan stood up and shook Lucia gently. When she didn’t respond, he had no choice but to lift her into his arms.

Just as Su Xuan was about to carry her to the bedroom, Lucia suddenly opened her golden-red eyes. Through her white veil, she stared intently into his.

"You’re... awake?"

A confused expression appeared on Su Xuan’s face. ’How did she suddenly wake up again?’

While he was still puzzled, Lucia suddenly buried her head in his chest. A moment later, a warm, wet sensation spread across his shirt.

Su Xuan froze. He looked down at Lucia and saw tears glistening in her golden-red eyes, her lips trembling slightly.

’She’s crying!?’
