Chapter 295: Chapter 193: How Can the Pope Compete with a Succubus? President~ Time for Your Medicine~

"Mr. Su Xuan, it’s time to take your medicine."

"Ah~"

Ivsha gently pinched the tempting Succubus Candy between her fingertips and placed it in Su Xuan’s mouth. Wisps of Magic Power slowly pulsed from the candy, gradually restoring his depleted reserves.

Although the Succubus Candy was one of Ivsha’s materials for Growth, it didn’t actually have the effect of restoring Magic Power on its own.

But~

Ivsha’s Magic Water contained immense Magic Power!

She skillfully used her own Magic Power, transferring it to Su Xuan to help alleviate the depletion caused by the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly.

This unique method of replenishing Magic Power was undoubtedly what Ivsha was best at—and what she loved doing most.

Of course, Su Xuan had to pay a certain price for this.

His Holy Light was, at this very moment, still twinkling in the depths of Ivsha’s soul!

And just as Su Xuan was gradually becoming Ivsha’s captive, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

’This Succubus is just a special individual separated from Original Sexual Desire Magic, so how is her lust so strong! As expected of one made from the Mother of Demons...’

The voice of the Vampire True Ancestor Kanlutia rang in Su Xuan’s mind, capturing his full attention.

’Original Sexual Desire Magic?’

Although Su Xuan already knew that Ivsha was a wisp-like avatar separated from Edith, the term "Original Sexual Desire Magic" was still new to him.

’Besides, why did Kanlutia stop halfway through her sentence? Can’t she just finish it?’

’From the Mother of Demons what?’

’Forget it!’

’I don’t have time for this right now!’

’I’ll unleash a Holy Radiance Burst first and ask for clarification later!’

...

Two hours later, a satisfied Ivsha left Su Xuan’s room.

With her help, the depletion of Su Xuan’s Magic Power had been alleviated. Although his legs were still trembling slightly, he managed to struggle up from the bed.

The moment Ivsha stepped out, a slender figure appeared silently at the doorway, her cold eyes fixed on the weakened Su Xuan on the bed.

Su Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his head and saw Lucia staring at him coldly with her golden-red eyes.

"Lucia? When did you get here?" Su Xuan asked, simultaneously pulling the blanket over his weary Holy Light.

"When you were preparing to take your medicine," Lucia replied coolly.

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the messy bed. The traces of Holy Light made her frown slightly, her heart filling with confusion and resentment.

She had personally experienced the power of the Holy Light, and it had been almost too much for her to bear.

Yet, Ivsha had managed to leave the Holy Light in such a sorry state...

’Wait!’

’What am I thinking?’

’Am I, the Pope, competing with a Succubus?’

’Ridiculous!’

Lucia’s golden-red eyes flickered, and she quickly banished the absurd thought.

As for Su Xuan, hearing Lucia’s reply stirred a strange panic in his heart. Although he couldn’t pinpoint what he was flustered about, he felt the awkwardness of being caught in the act.

But he quickly regained his composure.

He said calmly to Lucia, "I’m going to get changed. Could you please close the door for me?"

"..."

Lucia shot Su Xuan a cold glance, then gently closed the door.

"Hoo~"

The moment the door closed, Su Xuan sighed in relief. The enclosed space brought him a unique sense of security.

After getting dressed, Su Xuan began to tidy up the slightly messy room.

The Holy Light all over the room surprised him. ’Ivsha seems a bit careless today, leaving such a mess.’

After some tidying, the room was neat again, and Su Xuan walked out, satisfied.

It was now evening, around six o’clock.

Lucia and the others were sitting in the Guild hall discussing something. When they saw Su Xuan walk out, everyone’s gaze simultaneously focused on him.

"What are you all talking about?"

Su Xuan walked over to them and asked Lucia.

"Miss Lucia has learned some news about the current situation in the Star Kingdom," Rosaline explained to Su Xuan.

"The current situation in the Star Kingdom?" Su Xuan’s gaze shifted to Lucia, a trace of curiosity on his face.

"Mm~"

Lucia nodded lightly, then elegantly picked up her teacup for a small sip and began to speak. "The Bright Church Court has confirmed that Princess Vivian of the Star Kingdom intends to initiate the highest-level Star Ceremony to seek power beyond that of a Demigod."

"Power beyond that of a Demigod?"

Su Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

"The Star Ceremony is the foundation of the Star Kingdom’s power, requiring enormous manpower and financial resources," Rosaline interjected, explaining. "As a relatively weak Human Kingdom, the Star Kingdom currently has only one Demigod-Level Star Knight to maintain the nation’s peace and security. But the Demon Race has been rampant recently. As a frontline battlefield, that strength alone is not enough to contend with the Demons from the Abyss."

"So, Princess Vivian hopes to enhance the Star Kingdom’s military strength and protect the nation’s peace by initiating the highest-level Star Ceremony."

Su Xuan fell into a brief silence after hearing this news.

He already had some basic knowledge about the Magic Continent and the history of the Star Kingdom.

The Star Kingdom had numerous Demon Caves within its borders because its territory was located on the edge of the original battlefield between the Magic Continent and the Abyss.

In the very first war, a Great Sage who had extensively studied the Stars sacrificed his own life as a medium to summon seven Valkyries from the Divine Realm. These seven Valkyries helped the Magic Continent successfully repel the invasion from the Abyss. The people of the world then used the seven Valkyrie’s Flowers they left behind as the foundation to establish a nation.

After a thousand years of evolution, the Star Kingdom gradually grew into its current form.

Whenever the Demon Race launched a large-scale invasion, the Star Kingdom was always at the forefront of the war.

Of course, other kingdoms would immediately dispatch troops and lend a hand. This was a consensus and agreement reached by the nations of the Magic Continent after numerous wars with the Demon Race.

From the perspective of the entire Magic Continent, although the Star Kingdom played the role of a vanguard, which seemed to be a great disadvantage, the seven Valkyrie’s Flowers it possessed were incomparable to anything the other kingdoms had.

Their power was so immense that even the Sun Sect Country had to be wary of it.

Furthermore, the Star Ceremony left behind by that Great Sage allowed the Royal Family of the Star Kingdom to communicate with the Power of the Stars. Although it was one of the youngest kingdoms, it was firmly ranked third among the Human Kingdoms.

"To initiate the highest-level Star Ceremony, an enormous amount of Magic Power is required as support."

Lucia further added, "This is also why the Star Kingdom’s Soldiers are actively collecting the corpses of the Demon Race. Although these corpses can provide a large amount of Magic Power, that Magic Power is very murky and must be purified before it can be used as an offering."

"So that’s how it is..."

Su Xuan nodded slowly, a sense of understanding dawning on him.

’As for why Princess Vivian is in such a hurry to seek power, it’s likely because of the appearance of the Demon Caves. After being dormant for several hundred years, they seem to be preparing to invade the Magic Continent again, which has made Princess Vivian feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.’

’As the King’s most beloved daughter, and even a potential successor to the throne, it’s only natural that she would want to do something for the peace of her country.’

"However..."

Lucia’s elegant brows furrowed slightly. "The situation in the Star Kingdom has already become quite chaotic," she said softly. "The King’s life is in grave danger, which has made all the Princes covetously eye the supreme throne. Under these circumstances, it’s nearly impossible for Princess Vivian to hold the Star Ceremony successfully."

"Mm."

Su Xuan nodded in agreement. He could keenly feel that the internal chaos of the Star Kingdom was far more severe than he had imagined.

’On top of that, there’s a group of the Demon Race lurking within the kingdom. There’s no way Princess Vivian can ascend the throne that easily.’

"Don’t you have a good relationship with that Lady?" Lucia glanced at Su Xuan and suggested softly, "Perhaps you could go talk to her. She should have a more in-depth understanding of the current situation."

"You have a point!"
