Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

It smells so good!

The fragrance wafting from Roxia made Su Xuan’s heart beat a little faster. He felt like a bee drawn to a sweet blossom, desperate to gather its nectar.

He had caught a faint whiff of this scent when he first arrived at Yerman Castle, but Roxia’s presence made it much stronger.

"Mr. Su Xuan, the banquet is about to begin."

Roxia reminded him softly. She had come to make sure he and the others didn’t miss the important event.

And also...

Roxia’s gaze fell upon Rosaline, who was sitting on the sofa. Since her parents could no longer be by her side, she hoped her aunt Rosaline could attend and witness this special moment.

"Alright, we’re on our way," Su Xuan replied.

"Mm," Roxia nodded lightly and turned to leave.

"Let’s go."

"Okay~"

Su Xuan then led Ivsha and the others to the banquet hall to join the grand celebration.

Inside the banquet hall of Yerman Castle, nearly a hundred people were gathered, raising their glasses to celebrate the special occasion.

As the guest of honor, Roxia was naturally the center of attention. She was surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd, her ears filled with a constant stream of congratulations and praise.

But in such a lively scene, there were always a few who stood out, for example...

"Hey, handsome Knight! How about buying a suit of Silver Scale Armor? Only 5 Gold Coins a piece, an absolute bargain!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Hey, beautiful lady, wear this Silver Scale Armor and you’ll make all the handsome guys swoon! Just try it if you don’t believe me!"

"What? 5 Gold Coins is too expensive?"

"No way! My cost for one suit is 4 Gold Coins!"

...

’That guy...’

Su Xuan sat in a corner, observing everything in the banquet hall. He didn’t spot anyone trying to cause trouble.

But Xia Yu... he was something else entirely.

"Mr. Su Xuan~ This cream cake is really delicious~ You should try some~" Ivsha offered Su Xuan the cream cake she had just taken a bite of, hoping he would taste it.

Su Xuan didn’t mind that Ivsha had already taken a bite and ate it in one go.

"Is it good~?"

Ivsha gently extended her fingertips and carefully wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth. Then, she placed that finger into her own mouth and lightly sucked on it, her every move overflowing with seductive charm.

This made Su Xuan’s heart race. ’That’s Ivsha for you!’

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Princess Vivian came into Su Xuan’s line of sight.

After offering her congratulations to Roxia, she moved away from the crowd.

At the same moment, Princess Vivian also caught Su Xuan’s gaze. A barely perceptible hint of resentment flickered in her eyes, as if she was still holding a grudge about what had happened before.

Princess Vivian merely gave Su Xuan a faint glance before looking away and starting to converse softly with a few Royal Knights by her side.

In response, Su Xuan chose to ignore her as well.

"Mr. Su Xuan~"

Just then, Natasha walked gracefully to Su Xuan’s side.

"Is something the matter?"

Su Xuan asked, confused.

"Could you come with me for a moment? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you, regarding Roxia..."

A trace of worry flashed in Natasha’s eyes.

"Alright."

Su Xuan nodded and quietly left with Natasha.

They made their way through the bustling crowd to Natasha’s room.

Natasha led Su Xuan into the room, then closed the door and gently locked it, not wanting any outside noise to disturb their quiet.

"Mr. Su Xuan, I want to discuss Roxia’s curse with you," Natasha said as she turned around, her eyes full of concern.

By now, almost all the high-ranking knights of the Yerman Clan knew about Roxia’s curse. Of course, all this information about Roxia’s curse had come from her uncle, Mero.

"You only recently discovered the curse on Roxia?" Su Xuan asked Natasha, puzzled.

Theoretically, if Roxia’s mother had also been afflicted by this curse, the Yerman Clan should have noticed it long ago. Why was it only discovered now? This made Su Xuan suspect there was more to the story.

Natasha nodded and said, "Yes, we only recently discovered that both Roxia and her mother have this curse, and Roxia’s curse seems even stronger than her mother’s. It appears Roxia’s father and Rosaline knew something about it, but they never told us."

Su Xuan frowned, mulling over Natasha’s words.

Natasha continued, "Also, Roxia’s father’s decision to go to sea seems to be related to this curse."

"Are you saying that Rosaline and the others went to sea to find a way to break the curse?" Su Xuan confirmed.

"Yes. Roxia’s mother never knew she was cursed; she always thought it was just a special fragrance her body naturally produced. We all thought so, too. But the truth only began to surface recently." As Natasha spoke, her words came faster, a clear sign of her growing anxiety.

"Under harsh interrogation, Roxia’s uncle, Mero, finally admitted the curse’s effect. The fragrance from this curse has the effect of attracting Demons within a hundred-li radius." Natasha took a deep breath, as if trying to calm herself. "As for why Roxia’s mother didn’t cause any Demon Beast rampages, it seems Mero used some kind of medicine to temporarily suppress the curse."

Su Xuan couldn’t help but frown. "But can a fragrance really attract Demons from a hundred li away? That sounds a bit exaggerated," he asked doubtfully.

Natasha shook her head. "It hasn’t been definitively confirmed, but it’s the only explanation that makes sense for the recent Demon Beast uprisings. We still know nothing about the true power of this curse. Perhaps its range isn’t that wide, but we can’t rule out the possibility."

"..."

Su Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had a feeling there was more to this than met the eye.

"Since you said Rosaline and the others went to sea to find a way to break the curse, did they find it?" Su Xuan asked again.

"It seems they did, but on the way back..." Natasha’s eyes glistened with tears, as if she was recalling a painful memory.

Su Xuan stroked his chin, lost in thought. If Rosaline really found a way to break the curse, then she should know how to solve Roxia’s.

But that memory seemed to be hidden within the last Memory Fragment of Rosaline’s that had yet to be found.

The question was, where could Rosaline’s last Memory Fragment be?

"If we can fully restore Rosaline’s memory, we might find the way to break the curse. But this last Memory Fragment..." Su Xuan muttered. They still had no clue about the whereabouts of the final Memory Fragment.

"Mr. Su Xuan! Are you saying that if we find Rosaline’s last Memory Fragment, she might be able to recover her memory?" Upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, Natasha’s face instantly lit up with joy.

"Yes. Do you have any leads?"

"Have you forgotten? I used the Soul Secret Technique to summon that Memory Fragment of Rosaline’s before. I think I can use the Soul Secret Technique again to try and find this last one, but I can’t guarantee success," Natasha explained.

"Really? Natasha! How confident are you?"

"There’s about a seventy percent chance," she said. A flicker of worry crossed her face, but she quickly added with conviction, "However, with your help, Mr. Su Xuan, I’m confident I can raise the probability of success to one hundred percent!"

"What do you need me to do?" Su Xuan didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He was determined to get Rosaline’s last Memory Fragment!

"Don’t worry, the Soul Secret Technique won’t cause you any harm~ I just need..."

As Natasha spoke, she gently swept aside her long, brown hair and deftly undid the top few buttons of her blouse.

A snowy-white vista was revealed, completely capturing Su Xuan’s gaze. But what caught his attention even more was the Sapphire Necklace hanging on Natasha’s snow-white neck. The gem set in the necklace was deep and brilliant, twinkling like a starry sky.
