Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

Chapter 206: Chapter 117: Pope~ I’ll Help You Remove the Abnormal Status! Legendary Item!?

Su Xuan gazed, captivated, at Lucia’s back, which was as flawless as snow and as smooth as silk.

He saw a mysterious golden rune etched upon her back. Its lines were intricate and exquisite, like a detailed work of art. As his gaze focused on the golden rune, he was amazed to see the complex lines seemingly flow and converge, gradually forming the image of a sun.

Before he could get a closer look, the sun rune faded away, leaving only flawless, pale skin.

’Mysterious...’

Su Xuan quietly closed the door, then asked Lucia, "May I come over?"

Lucia seemed to be wearing nothing in the hot spring, with only a light veil covering her face, making her all the more alluring.

"Mmm~" Lucia gave a slight nod, granting his request.

Su Xuan slowly approached Lucia. As he reached the edge of the hot spring, his gaze was inevitably drawn downward. Beneath the water lay the stunning sight of her pale form, partially obscured by the swirling mist, as if veiled by a mysterious white gauze.

"Did you need something?"

Lucia asked softly, raising an exquisite wineglass to her lips. She took a small sip, the golden liquid trickling over her red lips.

Su Xuan’s gaze shifted to the wineglass, noticing a golden fruit resting inside.

[Sun Fruit Wine (Elite): This wine is infused with a precious Sun Fruit. It can temporarily suppress a Divine Attribute anomaly, but its taste is quite bitter.]

Su Xuan then quickly checked Lucia’s status bar.

[Divine Attribute Anomaly: The Divine Attribute is chaotic, unstable, and agitated! (48h)]

This information made Su Xuan’s expression turn serious. The Divine Attribute anomaly was a side effect from [Light Divine Prison], but he wasn’t sure of its specific consequences.

"Is there anything I can do for you, about the side effect of your skill?"

Su Xuan asked, carefully observing her subtle expressions and every detail of her posture.

"There’s no need to worry. I’m fine."

Lucia gently set down her wineglass. From behind the white veil, her golden-red eyes glanced at Su Xuan, as if to reassure him that she was fine.

"That’s good."

Su Xuan replied curtly, though he was still uneasy. He opened the game’s shop, hoping to find an item to counteract the Divine Attribute anomaly. A targeted search led him to an item called "Tears of the Sun," which could effectively alleviate the burning sensation on the skin caused by the anomaly.

He also found an item called "Golden Leaves," which could eliminate the Divine Attribute anomaly entirely. However, it had to be used after applying "Tears of the Sun," as the leaves themselves would intensify the burning sensation.

Su Xuan unhesitatingly spent 50 Silver Coins to purchase both items and immediately took them out of his backpack.

"These two medicines can alleviate your negative status effect. Make sure you use them later."

Su Xuan held the two items out to Lucia.

When Lucia saw the two items, a strange look entered her eyes, and she seemed to be lost in thought.

After a moment, she said softly, "I appreciate the sentiment, but..."

Before she could finish, she paused. Golden tears welled up and streamed down her cheeks.

"But what?"

Seeing this, Su Xuan took out a handkerchief and offered it to Lucia. ’The Holy Maiden can’t always be forcing herself to act strong.’

Lucia took the handkerchief and wiped away the golden tears. Then, she spoke slowly, "Because of the side effect, my limbs are weak. My legs, especially... it’s as if I’ve lost all feeling in them. The reason I let you in was so you could help me get dressed. I need to return to the Bright Church Court for treatment."

Hearing Lucia’s explanation, Su Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

He hadn’t expected the Divine Attribute anomaly to be so severe, leaving her body almost completely immobilized.

’Wait, so Lucia can’t move right now?’

"So..."

Lucia’s cool, golden eyes met Su Xuan’s, a complex emotion within them. "If it really works," she asked, "then you’ll have to be the one to apply it for me."

A glint appeared in Su Xuan’s eyes upon hearing Lucia’s request.

But...

His gaze shifted to Lucia’s pale form submerged in the water. Her clothes were off to the side, but there was no bath towel. ’Doesn’t that mean...’

"Don’t just stand there. There are many matters at the Church Court waiting for me to handle," Lucia said to Su Xuan, her tone insistent.

Even without Su Xuan’s help, her plan was to drink the Sun Fruit Wine, regain a little mobility, and then seek assistance from Ivsha and the others to return to the Bright Church Court.

"..."

Su Xuan said nothing. He simply waded into the pool and lifted Lucia up in his arms, carrying her like a princess.

As Lucia’s body emerged from the water, Su Xuan realized that she was, in fact, wearing a thin, pale gold garment.

’Su Xuan didn’t know the specific name for this piece of clothing. Was it a swimsuit or some kind of bathing garment?’

The garment, as sheer as a cicada’s wing, clung tightly to her pale skin. Vital areas were covered by golden, heart-shaped scales, so nothing crucial was exposed.

The garment was incredibly sheer and further obscured by the mist. Moreover, the parts of Lucia’s body that were above the water had been bare, while the garment’s translucence made her submerged form nearly indistinguishable from being nude. It wasn’t that Su Xuan had bad eyesight; he genuinely couldn’t see it clearly.
