Free Web NovelChapter 142: Chapter 64: Baptism of the Holy Light Medicine! Holy Maiden! I Don’t Eat Ice Cream
"..."
Su Xuan admired Lucia, who was now wearing a pair of thin, gold-rimmed glasses. It added a unique charm to her otherwise ice-cold demeanor. But now, the white veil seemed a bit redundant, and Su Xuan felt the urge to remove it...
’Ahem, I’d better hold back...’
"I admit, I don’t quite understand. There are several obscure words here I don’t recognize," Su Xuan told Lucia honestly.
Although the script of the Magic Continent was translated for the Players, some words couldn’t be fully conveyed by the translation and could only be presented to the Players in their most primitive form.
Su Xuan was a complete stranger to all of this; it was impossible for him to understand these unfamiliar characters out of thin air.
"That’s because the meaning of some symbols can only be understood by referencing the annotations in the Bible." Lucia gently pushed up her thin, gold-rimmed glasses and explained softly, "For Priests and Nuns who have thoroughly studied the Bible, these annotations are perfectly clear. But for you, it will indeed take some time to learn."
"So, do I have to read the entire Bible?" Su Xuan asked curiously.
"That won’t be necessary."
Lucia gently shook her head, then extended a slender fingertip and softly touched it to Su Xuan’s forehead.
The next moment, golden motes of light began to gather at her fingertip before slowly transferring into Su Xuan’s consciousness.
"?"
Su Xuan showed a hint of surprise. He clearly hadn’t expected Lucia to do this. She was directly implanting memories into his consciousness!
This was slightly different from how Edith had directly poured Abyssal Power into Su Xuan’s body and soul. Lucia was only transferring memories; she wasn’t about to turn him into a tentacle monster.
"There." Lucia said softly, slowly retracting her fingertip. A complete stream of memories flowed into Su Xuan’s mind like a gentle brook.
"..."
Having just received the memories, Su Xuan’s consciousness was a bit dazed, but he quickly recovered. When he looked at the words in the Holy Scripture again, nothing seemed unfamiliar anymore. It was as if the script had some mysterious connection to him.
"What incredible Magic," Su Xuan murmured.
He could now understand all the strange characters, which felt as familiar as his native language.
"Improving your own strength isn’t as simple as just learning Magic," Lucia continued. "You also need control over the Elements and Faith in the God of Light."
As she finished speaking, a golden light flashed in her palm, and a bottle of golden Holy Medicine appeared before Su Xuan.
"What is this?" Su Xuan stared curiously at the golden Holy Medicine in Lucia’s palm. The brilliant Holy Light seemed to contain an endless, mysterious power that shook him to his core.
"Is this? The Holy Light Medicine?" Ivsha had been paying close attention to the conversation between Su Xuan and Lucia. When she saw the golden Holy Medicine in Lucia’s hand, a look of shock appeared on her face.
"Little Nun, you’re quite knowledgeable." Lucia gave Ivsha a faint glance, then took out another bottle of the golden Holy Medicine and handed it to her. "This is yours."
"I get one too? Thank you~" Ivsha excitedly took the Holy Medicine. She hadn’t expected Lucia to bring one for her as well, which was a pleasant surprise.
Su Xuan glanced at the Holy Light Medicine in his hand, and a string of blurry information flashed in his vision.
[Holy Light Medicine (?): Drink this to receive the baptism of the Power of Light.]
"Is the Holy Light Medicine very rare?" he asked Ivsha.
"Mhm!" Ivsha nodded at Su Xuan and said with a smile, "I learned about it from Sister Kelly. The Holy Light Medicine is a special product of the Bright Church Court, and only a small number of believers get the chance to use it. Even a Purple-robed Priest isn’t guaranteed a bottle. Moreover, this Holy Medicine is never supposed to circulate outside the Sun Sect Country. That would be against the rules of the church!"
"It’s that precious?" Su Xuan looked at the Holy Light Medicine in his hand in amazement. He couldn’t help but wonder, ’How is this Holy Medicine mass-produced?’
"Mr. Su Xuan~ I also heard there’s an even rarer Holy Medicine! But only the Saintesses are qualified to use that one!" Ivsha added.
"Oh~?"
A strong sense of anticipation suddenly welled up in Su Xuan. He was filled with longing and curiosity for the Holy Medicine that only a Saintess could use.
Just then, he opened the bottle of Holy Light Medicine, preparing to drink it.
"Wait! Mr. Su Xuan!" Ivsha hurriedly stopped him.
"What’s wrong?" Su Xuan asked, a little confused.
"Mr. Su Xuan, the Holy Light Medicine isn’t meant to be drunk," Ivsha explained. "It’s meant to be poured into bathwater for a bodily baptism. Of course, some people do choose to drink it directly, but with our physical constitution, we probably couldn’t withstand the Power contained in the Holy Medicine. However, the effect seems to be the same either way."
’I see...’ Su Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly. He had almost been led by the tooltip to drink the Holy Medicine.
While it *could* be drunk, his body might not be able to withstand the Holy Medicine’s Power.
Furthermore, after opening the Holy Medicine, Su Xuan smelled a refreshing fragrance, but he couldn’t quite describe it. It was a unique scent he had never encountered before.
"You two should begin the Holy Light Medicine baptism now. Since the Holy Medicine poses a certain degree of danger, I can ensure your safety if I’m here," Lucia suggested.
"Now? I suppose so." Su Xuan nodded. Considering Lucia might not have time in the evening, performing the baptism now was indeed the best choice.
"Remember, when you bathe in the Holy Water, you cannot bring anything with you," Lucia reminded them.
"..." Su Xuan frowned slightly. ’Does that mean I have to strip naked in front of Lucia?’
"Mr. Su Xuan~ Let’s hurry up and start~ I can’t wait to bathe in the Holy Medicine~" Ivsha took Su Xuan’s arm, her pale violet eyes filled with anticipation.
"Alright, I’ll go buy two bathtubs first." Su Xuan immediately prepared to purchase two containers for bathing.
"Can’t we... buy a two-person one?"
Ivsha’s delicate brows furrowed as she suggested this softly.
"?"
"Just get the two-person one," Lucia suggested coolly. "Ivsha can help you bear some of the Holy Medicine’s potency."
Su Xuan was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Fine."
Since Lucia had said so, he had no reason to refuse.
Su Xuan immediately bought a two-person bathtub. However, to his dismay, the Guild’s bathroom was too small to accommodate it.
Considering the Guild area was already full, Su Xuan decided to expand the Guild’s basic facilities.
He spent 50 Silver Coins to add two bedrooms and two other spare rooms to the Guild.
Su Xuan planned to convert one of the rooms into a bathroom. Among the upgrade options for the bathroom, one caught his eye—a hot spring!
For just 20 Silver Coins, he could turn the bathroom into a hot spring with a constant temperature and automatic water changing. However, there wasn’t enough time to do the renovation today. He’d consider it after they finished the Holy Medicine baptism.
Soon, following Lucia’s instructions, Su Xuan filled the bathtub with hot water and poured both bottles of Holy Light Medicine into it.
The moment the Holy Light Medicine was poured into the water, a golden mist instantly rose, releasing a rich fragrance.
"Take off your clothes and get in," Lucia said softly, sitting to the side.
The moment she finished speaking, Ivsha’s Nun’s Habit scattered like flower petals, and she stepped lightly into the bathtub.
The instant her body touched the water, her skin was instantly flushed crimson.
"Eee~"
It was accompanied by a soft moan. Even Ivsha felt a bit of pain from the Holy Light Medicine’s potency.
"Mr. Su Xuan, hurry and get in, it feels great!" Ivsha invited.
"Don’t you lie to me..."
Su Xuan’s brows knitted together. ’I’m not falling for the tricks of a cunning Succubus!’
However, to obtain the Power of the Holy Medicine, he had no choice but to strip off his clothes and step into the bathwater.
The fleeting glimpse of the male form caused Lucia to glance over. A subtle light flickered in her eyes, as if an idea was quietly taking root deep in her consciousness.
"Hoo~"
As Su Xuan’s body submerged in the water, a strong, electric shock-like sensation instantly swept through his every cell.
Immediately after, a sharp pain made him grit his teeth!
"Hiss! It hurts!"
Su Xuan felt an unbearable pain from the Holy Light Medicine, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"Hold him!"
Lucia’s voice came through, clear and decisive, guiding them on the correct course of action. frёeωebɳovel.com
"Mhm." Ivsha took the initiative to move closer, hugging Su Xuan tightly.
In that instant, her Succubus traits all appeared. Her mischievous, heart-tipped tail even gently coiled around Su Xuan’s wrist, and their skin was now pressed tightly together.
’It really feels much better?’ Su Xuan was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected that Ivsha’s hug could actually alleviate the pain from the Holy Medicine, reducing it by at least sixty percent.
"Close your eyes, don’t speak, and feel the Power from the Holy Medicine."
Lucia’s voice once again entered Su Xuan’s ears clearly. Following her instructions, he slowly closed his eyes.
As his consciousness gradually faded, he seemed to enter a mysterious space. He was surrounded by golden clouds, which seemed to be composed of pure Light Elements, shimmering with a soft glow. Not far away, a golden sun seemed to be only a few kilometers distant, its light warm and dazzling.
’Where is this?’
Su Xuan looked around, completely bewildered. ’Is this an Illusion Realm created by the Holy Medicine?’
Just as Su Xuan was filled with doubt, he suddenly saw something flying toward him from within the golden sun.
’Is that a group of figures?’
The sun’s light was too dazzling for him to see their forms clearly, but he could faintly make out that they seemed to have several pairs of wings on their backs...
"Get up!"
Suddenly, a sharp cry rang in Su Xuan’s ear.
The voice was like a clear spring striking stone—crisp and powerful, instantly shattering the surrounding silence.
He opened his eyes to see Lucia’s ice-cold face. Her golden-red eyes were staring intently at him, seeming to carry a chilling frost within them.
At this moment, Lucia had only woken Su Xuan. Ivsha was still hugging him tightly, immersed in absorbing the Holy Light Medicine.
"Just now, that was..."
Su Xuan felt a little dazed, deeply confused by the vision he had just seen.
Just then, a snow-white, jade-like foot gently lifted Su Xuan’s chin as a cold voice demanded, "You! What did you just see?"
