Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

’I can actually use the Witch’s Eye? I thought only women could be Witches...’ A flicker of pleasant surprise appeared in Su Xuan’s eyes. Looking at the prompt before him, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

However, Su Xuan knew full well this didn’t mean he had inherited the title of Witch. It was more likely that he had obtained a portion of a Witch’s Power. His situation was clearly different from Vivian’s, who could directly wield the Magic Power of the night.

"Mr. Su Xuan, look at this!" Suddenly, Ivsha’s voice sounded beside him.

Su Xuan turned to look and saw a strange, snow-white little bug crawling out of the Sunset City Lord’s brain.

[Soul-Devouring Insect (Rare): An insect that can devour souls. Extremely dangerous! This Demon must be fed with its master’s soul!]

’A dangerous insect?’

Su Xuan had just finished reading the Soul-Devouring Insect’s description when the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly suddenly swooped down. It incinerated the Soul-Devouring Insect into a ball of Flame and then, with its long, slender proboscis, devoured it.

"You!?" Su Xuan’s eyes widened in astonishment.

’You greedy little thing, spit it out!’

"CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP~" The Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly happily flapped its wings, as if thanking Su Xuan for his generous gift.

Seeing this, Su Xuan’s heart instantly softened.

’Oh, well. Let it be. There’s no way I would have kept something so disgusting around anyway.’

’Besides, this isn’t the only good thing in the City Lord’s Mansion!’

With that thought, Su Xuan picked up the Sunset City Lord’s Golden Short Sword.

[Sunset Short Sword (Elite): A symbol of the Sunset City Lord. Attack Power +250!]

"Should I give this to Roxia and the others? After all, it’s the symbol of the Sunset City Lord," Su Xuan muttered to himself. ’It’s not like I can stay here and be the City Lord, can I?’

’I don’t have time for that. Besides, considering how the Guild is developing, it’s only a matter of time before I surpass a mere City Lord.’

Su Xuan stored the Sunset Short Sword in his backpack and walked into the City Lord’s Mansion, ready to search for treasure.

However, he hadn’t taken more than a few steps before a group of people arrived at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Mr. Su Xuan..."

After repelling the beast tide, Roxia and the others had rushed to the City Lord’s Mansion.

When they arrived on the scene, however, all they saw was a charred, headless corpse.

"Whose body is this?"

Everyone looked at each other, unable to identify the corpse.

It wasn’t until someone recognized an unburnt ornament on the belt and identified the corpse as belonging to the Sunset City Lord that they finally understood.

"This is the City Lord’s body?"

"Damn it! He killed the City Lord!"

"Quick, seize them!"

"We must kill them and avenge the City Lord!"

The Knights and Soldiers loyal to the City Lord raised their weapons, preparing to apprehend Su Xuan.

"Wait!"

Roxia quickly stopped everyone. The Knights of the Yerman Knight Clan, naturally obeying Roxia’s command, blocked the other Soldiers outside the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Roxia, he killed the City Lord!"

"Are you trying to protect the man who murdered the City Lord?"

The Sunset City Lord’s Knights demanded of Roxia.

"I think we should first hear Mr. Su Xuan’s explanation. He wouldn’t have killed the City Lord without reason," Roxia said, then looked at Su Xuan, giving him the floor to explain everything to the crowd.

Not wanting to waste his breath, Su Xuan directly activated his Player recording function for everyone to see.

On the blue screen, the Sunset City Lord boasted about his deeds. His passionate expression made it hard to believe he was describing such a disgusting act of betrayal.

This was especially true when he mentioned having once touched the sole of the Night Witch’s shoe, which he considered an honor. Everyone’s faces instantly turned grim, and some even flushed red as they suppressed their rage.

The Players who had gathered to watch the drama unfold were also whispering amongst themselves. ’What a simp.’

When the video ended, Su Xuan asked the crowd, "Now, do you understand?"

"This..."

Everyone looked at each other, completely at a loss.

How could they have ever imagined that the City Lord they had served with such Loyalty was a man who admired a Witch!

For a moment, they were all stunned, unsure how to react to the Sunset City Lord’s sudden death.

Of course, with the Six Great Knight Clans present, the Sunset City Lord’s death would not throw Sunset City into turmoil.

In other words, as a city protected by the White Rose, the status of an Oath Knight was higher than that of the City Lord.

One was the official, the other was the soul!

This was one of the reasons Roxia’s words could instantly quiet the entire crowd.

"Now that the truth is out, take the Sunset City Lord’s body away. We will pass judgment on his crimes tomorrow." Roxia immediately issued commands in her capacity as an Oath Knight. "At the same time, take all of the Sunset City Lord’s relatives and confidants into custody. The Witch brought this city to the brink of ruin. We cannot allow an Apostle of the Witch to continue wreaking havoc in Sunset City!"

"As you command!"

Everyone sprang into action, sealing off every corner of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Su Xuan couldn’t help but frown slightly at this. ’I haven’t had a chance to search for treasure yet!’

Just then, Roxia walked over to Su Xuan, her eyes filled with amazement. She sighed in admiration. "Mr. Su Xuan, you are truly meticulous. To think you cleverly used Magic to preserve those images... Impressive!"

"..."

Su Xuan didn’t answer, merely offering a faint smile. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

’He just has a Passion for recording his life, that’s all.’ Then, he handed the Sunset Short Sword, the symbol of the City Lord’s authority, to Roxia.

He said softly, "Here, take this."

"The City Lord’s sword?"

Roxia accepted the Sunset Short Sword and sighed softly. "Ever since the current King of the Star Kingdom came to power, the seven Guardian Clans of the Valkyries have gradually lost their control over the cities. Some of that power has shifted to the City Lord’s Mansions and the Law Enforcement Knight Orders. I will keep this safe for now, until the next City Lord from the Royal City arrives to take over Sunset City."

"Can’t the City Lord be chosen from within Sunset City?" Su Xuan asked curiously.

"No." Roxia shook her head.

Su Xuan stroked his chin. ’The Star Kingdom seems more complicated than I imagined.’

Just as he was lost in thought, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Mr. Su Xuan, please come to the Land of the Blooming White Rose."

’Natasha?’

Su Xuan’s eyes flickered. He immediately recognized Natasha’s voice.

"I have to leave for a bit. Stick with Roxia," Su Xuan told Rosaline and the others, then strode with determined steps toward the giant White Rose.

When he reached the White Rose, a single petal gently drifted down, as if inviting him to its summit.

Su Xuan stepped onto the petal, which guided him to the top of the giant White Rose. The moment he arrived, the White Rose began to bloom, revealing a splendor so radiant it was breathtaking.

Within the bud, Natasha’s soul stood quietly, smiling gently at him.

"Natasha..."

Su Xuan was about to speak, but she cut him off.

Natasha floated gracefully to Su Xuan’s side and reached out to gently caress his cheek. She said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Su Xuan. You saved me, and you saved this city."

"Ahem, I wouldn’t go that far."

Su Xuan smiled modestly. ’The title of "savior" is a bit too flashy.’ Still, he wouldn’t mind getting a title like that to display over his head.

"There’s no need for modesty. I witnessed everything!"

Natasha gave a radiant smile and continued, "And so, I am going to give you a special reward."

"A special reward?" Su Xuan’s curiosity was suddenly and intensely piqued.

"That’s right. A special reward, just for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Natasha’s soul traced a line across Su Xuan’s face with her slender fingers, which then came to rest naturally on his chest. The sensation was subtle and pleasant, like the caress of a gentle breeze.

’Unfortunately, Natasha’s soul is just a Soul Body, not her real self. If it were her real body...’

Before Su Xuan could finish that thought, Natasha’s soul gently parted the front of his clothes.

Her gentle voice washed over him.

"Mr. Su Xuan, your physique... it’s surprisingly good."

GULP.

Su Xuan’s expression tightened. He sensed something was off about the Natasha before him; she was slightly different from the one he knew.

As he was contemplating this change, Natasha drew closer and said gently, "Now, let me give you your reward."

As soon as she spoke, her soft, red lips gently pressed against his forehead.

Just when Su Xuan thought that was all, a powerful suction force suddenly enveloped his entire body, reaching deep into his very soul!

It felt as though a mysterious Power was churning the depths of his soul, stirring it into a chaotic tempest. Only after a long while did he feel his soul gradually return to a state of calm.

At that moment, Su Xuan was amazed to discover that a separate space had been carved out within his soul!

Inside this space, it was completely dark, but he found that he could change the scenery at will with just a thought. For now, however, the scenes only consisted of backgrounds...

Just as Su Xuan was marveling at this earth-shattering change within him, Natasha’s soul appeared once more inside his newly created space.

She smiled and said, "This is a form of Soul Magic. It can construct a separate space to effectively protect your soul from harm. However, its uses extend far beyond that."

As soon as she spoke, Su Xuan watched as Natasha’s clothes drifted away, piece by piece, like falling flower petals.

GULP.

Su Xuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he anticipated what would happen next.

"Now..."

Natasha smiled, her eyes narrowed. Her exquisite beauty was like that of a goddess at dawn, enough to make a man willing to burn his very soul for her!

"Allow me to help you experience a... deep spiritual exchange. This is a unique Secret Technique for nourishing the soul."
