Chapter 262: Chapter 170: The Holy Maiden’s Holy Song—After Your Shower, Come to My Room

"These three tags..." Su Xuan frowned slightly, his gaze shifting between the three options and Lucia.

Clearly, these tags were completely at odds with Lucia’s identity as a Saintess.

"Refresh!"

[Zombie] [Minotaur] [Slime]

?

Su Xuan’s brow furrowed as he scanned the three new tags.

Race tags could certainly bring pleasant surprises, as they had the potential to grant Lucia the innate abilities of other Races.

But in Su Xuan’s eyes, Lucia was the only normal human in the Guild, and he had no desire to see her lose her humanity.

"Refresh!"

[Veteran of Many Battles] [Like Tattoos] [Holy Song]

’Holy Song?’ A slightly confused expression appeared on Su Xuan’s face as he saw one of the new tags.

’This tag seems a little special. It might have some unexpected effects.’

After a moment of thought, Su Xuan decided to add the [Holy Song] tag to Lucia.

[You have successfully added a new tag to Adventurer Lucia—Holy Song!]

[Holy Song: For Saintess Lucia of the Bright Church Court, every appearance will be accompanied by her own exclusive background music. The holy song lasts for 30 minutes. During this time, Lucia’s All Attributes will increase by 50%, and she will also benefit from a 50% damage reduction effect! (When Lucia is alone with you, a special Holy Song will be unlocked.)]

"Hm?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Su Xuan’s eyes as he saw the powerful effects of the [Holy Song] tag.

A 50% increase to All Attributes and 50% damage reduction!

For the entire duration of the Holy Song, Lucia would be in a league of her own among fighters of the same rank!

Furthermore...

Su Xuan’s gaze fell to the special note in the parentheses. He frowned, a little confused.

’A special Holy Song when Lucia is alone with me?’

’What does that mean?’

He turned his gaze to Lucia, a tide of curiosity and anticipation surging within him.

At that moment, Lucia was intently scrutinizing the Holy Maiden Fruit.

Beneath her white veil, her golden-red eyes shimmered with a subtle light, as if she were endlessly curious about the Holy Maiden Fruit.

This was the first time Su Xuan had seen Lucia show such a curious side.

"This thing... is quite nice~"

Lucia murmured to herself before contentedly tucking the Holy Maiden Fruit into her pocket.

Her gaze shifted back to Su Xuan, her eyes a mixture of her usual coldness and newfound joy. "Today, we are to subjugate the last two Demon Caves, correct?"

"Mhm."

Su Xuan nodded, then turned to Viora and said softly, "Viora, considering the current situation, you should sit this mission out and stay at the Guild."

Viora was currently in the difficult position of being hunted by a prince of the Star Kingdom. This Prince was none other than the King’s own younger brother, a man of prominent status and immense power.

Furthermore, these two high-risk Demon Caves were located right next to the Royal City. Avoiding the Prince’s spies would be next to impossible, so it was safer for Viora to remain at the Guild.

’As for whether my own identity was exposed in the forest... judging by the current situation, probably not.’

The group of Knights and Soldiers had been... dealt with. There were no survivors, and he hadn’t noticed anyone else watching from the shadows at the time.

In addition, the Star Kingdom Soldiers they first encountered only saw Mare Rhine’s Giant Dragon form; they never caught a glimpse of any other Guild members.

’So, it should be impossible for any information about me to have reached Prince Tyres through his forces. However... there is one other unknown variable.’

’The Player whose Guild member I killed!’

Su Xuan stroked his chin, his brow furrowed in thought.

’That Player left the scene, but our clash undoubtedly left some clues behind.’

’However~’

’At the time, I was using my Half-Dragon Transformation. Dragon Scales covered parts of my face, and I was riding on Azkman’s back. All this means the other guy might not have been able to get a clear look at me.’

’Besides, I don’t plan on personally participating in this High-Level Demon Cave subjugation, so I won’t even be on the battlefield.’

’Ah...’

Su Xuan’s brow twitched as a new thought occurred to him. ’Even if that Player couldn’t recognize me, he would definitely recognize Azkman.’

’Following that train of thought, could he have mistaken the Immortal Consort Guild for the ones who saved Viora?’

’Ahem~’

’Looks like this is still full of uncertainty. The potential danger can’t be ignored. To be safe, I need a contingency plan to deal with any potential risks.’

On top of that, Fuli and Flora were still undergoing their ritual with the Elf Mother Tree, which meant he was down two fighters.

And Viora couldn’t fight either...

Su Xuan couldn’t help but wonder if he truly had enough people for the job.

However, the Guild had Lucia and Mare Rhine, two Mythical-quality Adventurers. Then there was Rosaline, who possessed the Legendary-quality weapon—the Oath Sword—and Ivsha, who had already unlocked two Demon Patterns.

That level of terrifying combat power should be more than enough to handle this battle!

’Oh, right!’

’I almost forgot! There’s also the cute and charming Alice!’

’As for assigning personnel, I’ll discuss it in detail and make a decision after we head to the Immortal Consort Guild.’

BEEP BEEP BEEP~

Just then, Su Xuan received a new message.

He quickly opened the chat interface and saw an invitation from Xu Feiyan to join a group chat.

After tapping "Accept," Su Xuan was immediately added to the new group.

The moment he entered, his eyes were met with a stream of lewd anime-style images.

Of course, he wasn’t particularly interested in that sort of thing. He gave them a cursory glance before turning his attention to the member list.

There were sixteen people in the group chat. Besides Xu Feiyan and himself, there were fourteen other Players who would be helping her take first place in the upcoming event.

Lu Bo: "Yo? If it isn’t Su Xuan! @Su Xuan!"

A message from Lu Bo suddenly popped up on Su Xuan’s screen, tagging him in the group chat.

Immediately after, a message from Shen Siqi popped up: "Su Xuan, are you here for the Twin Demon Caves raid too?"

"Twin Demon Caves?"

Shen Siqi: "Yep~ The two Demon Caves this time are connected to each other, so everyone’s calling them the Twin Demon Caves."

"I see." Su Xuan nodded in understanding.

Shen Jun: "With Su Xuan on board, our chances of winning are much higher. I was worried we might lose to the other factions."

Fu Bin: "Shen Jun, you’re worrying for nothing. Su Xuan’s Guild has some strength, I’ll give you that, but as long as my cousin is here, the other factions don’t stand a chance. Let me ask you, do you guys really think getting first place will be that hard? For my cousin, whose guild is about to be promoted to A-Level, this is just a walk in the park! A piece of cake!"

Lu Bo: "And there goes the little cousin, at it again!"

Shen Siqi: "O(∩_∩)O Haha~ Fu Bin loves sucking up to Sister Xu in the chat every day. Don’t mind him, Su Xuan~"

"Oh."

Su Xuan wasn’t bothered by it. He was just surprised to learn that Fu Bin was Xu Feiyan’s cousin.

Just then, Xu Feiyan sent a message to the group:

"@Su Xuan, I’ve sent you the teleportation coordinates. You can teleport directly to my Guild’s headquarters later."

Fu Bin: "?"

Lu Bo: "?"

Shen Siqi: "?"

"..."

A string of question marks suddenly flooded the chat, everyone clearly confused by Xu Feiyan’s message.

In response, Su Xuan simply typed back:

"Hold on, still in the shower."

Fu Bin: "?"

Lu Bo: "?"

Shen Siqi: "?"

"..."
