Chapter 341: Chapter 239: It’s a Succubus’s Favorite Party! Wanna Join, Holy Maiden?

"Alice, could you please pass me that balloon?"

"Here!"

"Can we not have peaches in the fruit bowl?! I hate them!"

"Sorry, Miss Reine, I’ll eat the peaches right now!"

"..."

After Su Xuan announced there would be a party at the Guild tonight, everyone immediately threw themselves into the hurried preparations. The Guild hall was soon festooned with colorful decorations, filled with a joyous and celebratory atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Su Xuan sat in the main hall, his gaze quietly settling on the Guild’s name carved into the plaque—Puff Fantasy Land—as he fell into deep thought.

His Guild’s name now appeared on the C-Level Guild rankings. Although they didn’t have a specific rank yet, since they hadn’t participated in any Guild wars, they were now visible to other C-Level and higher Guilds...

Sigh...

Su Xuan sighed. His gaze fell upon the top-ranked guild on the C-Level Guild leaderboard. ’A record of 10 wins and 2 losses... They’re pretty impressive.’

Furthermore, C-Level Guilds and C+ Level Guilds shared the same rankings. In Guild wars, opponents of comparable strength were matched based on their win-loss ratios.

This ranking didn’t come with any tangible rewards, however; it was more a symbol of honor.

Guild wars also came in various formats, from one-on-one duels to cooperative team battles, each with its own unique rules. For example, in a regular Guild war, Adventurers were protected by the world’s Law, so they didn’t have to worry about dying in combat.

But there was also a special type of Guild war—a true high-stakes gamble where both sides wagered everything on a single battle.

The victor would claim everything from the loser—even the opposing Guild’s Adventurers would be transferred over as Guild assets. The loser, in turn, was destined to be left with nothing.

’A-Level Guilds...’

After carefully browsing the C-Level Guild rankings, Su Xuan skipped the B-Level list and went straight to the A-Level Guild rankings.

The game had been live for over four months, yet there were only 23 A-Level Players in total, a testament to the difficulty of reaching that rank.

Although the Su Xuan Guild leveled up at a decent pace, it wasn’t among the absolute fastest for a few reasons.

For example, some Guilds had members online 24/7, leveraging their numerical superiority to complete quests and raise their Guild Level at an incredible speed.

As for resource shortages, they simply bought items like Experience Books with real money to make up the difference and strengthen their members.

An Experience Book that granted 10,000 experience points cost one Gold Coin—a price that was still too steep for Su Xuan.

Even though his Guild was now C-Level, its assets only amounted to about three hundred Gold Coins. Converting all of that into Experience Books would only yield 3,000,000 experience, and leveling up past Level 50 required all sorts of other resources as well.

Instead of buying Experience Books to raise their strength, purchasing Epic-quality equipment would provide a much more significant boost to his Guild members.

Speaking of equipment, Su Xuan started to consider how to upgrade his Guild members’ current gear.

After all, the Guild had some assets now. It was time to get everyone better gear.

’Now that the Guild has some money, it’s about time everyone got an Epic item...’

Ahem.

’Something to consider later, I suppose.’

Just as Su Xuan was lost in thought, Rosaline and Lucia returned to the Guild via the Teleportation Array.

Su Xuan had just sent them out to complete the daily quest commissions. The daily quests refreshed every day, so he had no reason to pass them up.

Besides, the quests were simple; Rosaline and Lucia had finished three daily commissions in just half an hour.

"Good work." Su Xuan smiled and stood to greet them, then turned in the three daily commissions they had completed.

Gold Coins +9, Experience +90,000 (50% Bonus)

"You’re back just in time~ We’re just about ready~"

Just then, Ivsha walked over carrying a pot of fragrant, steaming soup. One look at the rare ingredients inside was enough to tell it was extremely nourishing. The dining table in the Guild hall was already laden with a dazzling spread of dishes, just waiting for Lucia and the others to return so everyone could feast together.

"Looks like we’re ready. Let’s begin." As Su Xuan spoke, everyone took their seats.

"Allow me to pour you a drink, Mr. Su Xuan," Ivsha murmured, elegantly filling his glass.

Then, Ivsha turned to Lucia and asked softly, "Lady Saintess, would you like juice or wine?"

Lucia hesitated for a moment, a flicker of contemplation in her eyes, before replying softly, "Wine."

"I’ll fill it up for you~"

"Thank you."

"..."

Su Xuan stared intently at the glass in Lucia’s hand, a flicker of hesitation crossing his mind. He wasn’t sure if he should say something. After all, he knew all too well about Lucia’s tolerance for alcohol...

Aside from Lucia and Ivsha, everyone else was having juice or milk.

Su Xuan stood up, raised his glass, and announced to the room, "A toast to our Guild’s promotion to C-Level. Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Everyone cheered in unison, the air filled with laughter and celebratory joy.

However, the scene suddenly shifted...

"This soup..."

As the banquet was drawing to a close, the lively atmosphere suddenly gave way to an eerie silence.

After tasting the hot soup Ivsha had so carefully prepared, everyone had fallen unconscious.

Only Su Xuan and Viora remained conscious. The soup, it seemed, only affected women. Since Viora was a vegetarian and hadn’t touched the soup, she was also spared.

"Alice?" Viora called softly to Alice, who was sitting beside her. When she got no response, a look of confusion crossed her face. She turned to Su Xuan, hoping for an explanation.

Su Xuan looked just as bewildered and could only shake his head, indicating he was completely in the dark.

Just then, Ivsha, who had been unconscious beside Su Xuan, slowly began to stir.

She glanced around, and upon seeing everyone else sound asleep, the corners of her lips curled into a triumphant smile. "It seems everyone really enjoyed my ’special cuisine,’" she said softly.

Next, Ivsha’s gaze shifted to Viora. "Viora, you should be asleep by now, too~" she said in a gentle voice.

"I... I... Mmmh~"

After a moment’s hesitation, Viora obediently rested her head on the table and pretended to fall asleep.

"?"

Su Xuan was a little surprised. ’Viora is so obedient!’

And in the midst of his surprise, Ivsha pounced.

She sat lithely on his lap, her slender fingers gently cupping his face. Her graceful body swayed slightly, a tempting glint in her eyes as she whispered seductively, "Mr. Su Xuan, it’s time for the main course~"

"Wait! Not here, right?"

Su Xuan’s eyes darted around. To perform the rites of the Holy Light right next to the unconscious Lucia and the others... wasn’t that a little...

However, Ivsha didn’t seem to care. She chuckled. "Don’t worry, they’re fast asleep. You could be as loud as you want, and you still wouldn’t wake them."

As she spoke, she was already beginning to unfasten the bindings of the Holy Light.

"But..." Su Xuan hesitated. If they suddenly woke up, things would get very awkward.

He really didn’t want his Guild’s celebration to turn into *that* kind of party!

But~

"Mr. Su Xuan, you don’t really mean that, do you~"

Ivsha immediately cut him off, chiding playfully, "Your mouth may say no, but your body is being very honest! In that case, I won’t hold back."

"?"

"Mr. Su Xuan~~"

Drawing on the powerful Light Divine Power within her, Lucia slowly began to stir from her unconscious state.

"My head hurts so much... Did I get drunk again?" Lucia mumbled, rubbing her temples as she tried to force herself awake.

"Ivsha?"

"Holy Maiden?"

Seeing Lucia awake, Ivsha wasn’t the least bit flustered. On the contrary, she flashed a captivating smile and asked, "Care to join us?"
