Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

Chapter 355: Chapter 253: Edith’s Reward! Drink Up My Gift

"This bracelet..."

Su Xuan held the Phoenix Bracelet, staring at it for a moment before muttering to himself, "It smells so nice. What in the world is it made of?"

He was curious. The bracelet wasn’t just fragrant; its material wasn’t incredibly hard. Instead, the inside was somewhat soft and even a little warm.

’Could this be related to the Phoenix’s Trait?’

Though he didn’t know the real reason, a comfortable sensation washed over him like a gentle stream the moment he slipped the bracelet on.

Moreover, the Super-tier Magic that came with the Phoenix Bracelet—Phoenix’s Kiss—was also incredibly powerful.

[Phoenix’s Kiss (Super Tier): Summon an elemental phantom of the Phoenix to fight for you.]

’Summoning Magic?’

Su Xuan’s gaze fell on the description for Phoenix’s Kiss, and his eyes glinted with anticipation.

’I wonder how strong the summoned Phoenix phantom will be.’

’Since it’s Super-tier Magic, its power must be formidable. It should be more than enough to handle Demons around Level fifty.’

"Thanks," Su Xuan sent in a message.

[Red: You’re welcome.]

After the short reply, the other party immediately closed the chat window.

Su Xuan, however, continued to admire his newly acquired Legendary-quality equipment. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that the bracelet still fit perfectly on his wrist even in his Half-Dragon Transformation, which left him very satisfied.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to the edge of the bracelet. A faint, almost invisible pattern seemed to be drawn there with some kind of fluorescent powder.

’Does this equipment have hidden Attributes?’

Su Xuan stared intently at the pattern, trying to decipher its meaning. After a long moment, however, he realized the so-called pattern was just a simple, hand-drawn kitten, completely meaningless.

"..."

Su Xuan fell silent for a moment before stowing the bracelet in his backpack.

’Now that I’ve maximized the Guild’s combat power, there shouldn’t be anything else...’

As he was thinking, Su Xuan suddenly remembered the Ghost he’d captured.

With a thought, he summoned Miss Zhen Bai, only to be shocked to find she had turned into a flat, white piece of paper.

"What’s going on? How did she suddenly turn into a paper cutout?"

Su Xuan frowned, looking at Miss Zhen Bai.

He couldn’t for the life of him understand why a Ghost would suddenly turn into a paper cutout.

He tried to communicate with her, but Miss Zhen Bai was completely unresponsive.

With no other choice, Su Xuan put her back into the Soul Crystal Ball.

...

Time passed. In the blink of an eye, it was half past six the next morning.

Su Xuan arrived at the Guild early to find Ivsha and the others already waiting eagerly. Lucia was there early as well.

"Since everyone’s here, let’s head out," Su Xuan said.

"Yeah~!" everyone replied in unison.

Su Xuan then led his Guild members toward the Royal City of the Star Kingdom, ready to participate in the final stage of the Demon Cave event.

The final stage of the event was to be held in the spacious plaza in front of the Royal City’s Imperial Palace.

When Su Xuan’s party arrived, hundreds of Guilds, Players, and Adventurers were already gathered.

In addition, numerous nobles and lords from the Star Kingdom were also in attendance. They gathered together, eagerly awaiting the spectacular moment when the Star Knight would slay the Demon King.

As soon as he stepped into the bustling plaza, Su Xuan’s gaze caught the figures of Lu Bo and his group.

"Su Xuan! Congratulations on getting your Guild to C-Level! That’s incredible!" Shen Siqi and her cousin, Shen Jun, rushed over the moment they saw him, eager to offer their heartfelt congratulations in person.

"Thanks," Su Xuan replied with a smile.

"Dude, your Guild leveled up way too fast! You hit C-Level in just over a month. That’s just Abnormal!" Shen Jun exclaimed. He had played for over three months to reach C-Level, which felt far too slow in comparison.

Shen Siqi shot Shen Jun a look. "Big Bro, if you spent less time playing autochess every day, you wouldn’t have been so slow."

"What? How’d you know I got three wins in a row and hit Diamond yesterday?"

"I wasn’t asking you!"

Su Xuan just chuckled at their exchange. He glanced around and asked, "Are the members of the Immortal Consort Guild here yet?"

"They should be here soon," Lu Bo answered, stroking his beard.

"Is that so..."

Su Xuan’s gaze wandered through the bustling crowd as he searched for Edith.

He noticed that the Guild Adventurers were sectioned off on the left side of the plaza, while the nobles of the Star Kingdom occupied the right.

The left side was also packed with people from the smaller nations and tribes neighboring the Star Kingdom, making it feel crowded, whereas the nobles’ area on the right was comparatively spacious.

After a bit of searching, Su Xuan finally spotted Edith.

She was walking gracefully toward the plaza, surrounded by an entourage of Female Knights. With every step she took, red rose petals fluttered down around her, giving her a grand and dreamlike appearance, like a celestial being descending to the mortal realm.

The last time Su Xuan had seen such a spectacle was when the Elf Queen made her entrance.

The moment Edith came into view, she instantly captured the attention of everyone present.

"Who is that woman?"

"That’s odd. Why is her face so blurry, like it’s shrouded in a thin mist?"

"Even so, I can still tell she’s gorgeous..."

"I’ve heard about her. They say she’s the most beautiful woman in the Star Kingdom. No one’s ever seen her real face, but she’s been famous for a long time. It really makes you wonder what she looks like."

"So, does that mean she’s the best-looking NPC in the game? Is she a romanceable character?"

"Keep dreaming. For someone of her Level, we probably wouldn’t even get a chance to talk to her."

"The best-looking? I disagree! According to the game’s lore, isn’t the Elf Queen supposed to be the most beautiful?"

"Huh? Wasn’t it the Gem Witch??"

"..."

The Players launched into a heated debate about the beauty rankings on the Magic Continent.

Even Shen Siqi couldn’t resist such juicy gossip and eagerly joined the discussion.

Su Xuan had little interest in such topics. He quietly led Ailum to Edith’s side.

Since some of Edith’s retinue recognized Su Xuan, he had no trouble reaching her.

When Edith saw Su Xuan approaching with Ailum, a red glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. "How have you two been these past few days?" she asked softly.

Su Xuan replied, "Ailum has been very well-behaved. We’re getting along splendidly."

Though he hadn’t spent much time with Ailum, the little guy was exceptionally sensible and didn’t eat much.

’Unlike Ivsha, who needs to be fed constantly!’

"That’s good."

Edith nodded, satisfied, and handed Su Xuan a small vial.

"What is this?" Su Xuan asked curiously.

In his Player’s view, all the information about the small vial was just a series of question marks, its true purpose unknowable.

"A gift for you. Drink it." Edith watched Su Xuan intently, expectantly waiting for him to drink her gift.

"A gift?" Su Xuan opened the small vial, confused.

The moment he opened it, a rich, exotic fragrance filled the air. The scent was familiar—he had smelled it on Ivsha before—but for a moment, he couldn’t place it.

This fragrance was even more intense, almost as if it were alive, stimulating his senses and tempting him to drink it all in one go.
