Free Web NovelChapter 143: Chapter 65: Lucia
"I saw..." At Lucia’s prompting, Su Xuan recalled the scene he had just witnessed. He said softly, "A golden sun, a group of winged beings, but I couldn’t see their faces clearly."
Hearing Su Xuan’s description, a glint of coldness flashed in Lucia’s eyes, and she fell into deep thought.
In response, a faint glint flickered in Su Xuan’s eyes.
*Ahem*~
’Holy Maiden, your toes are still hooked under my chin!’
’Good thing her jade-like feet, which have never touched dust, are fragrant and soft, so it isn’t uncomfortable at all. But this kind of disrespectful behavior toward the President must be severely punished!’
"Are you sure?"
Lucia’s eyes narrowed slightly as she slowly withdrew her foot. Her pair of golden-red eyes stared intently at Su Xuan, revealing a hint of worry.
"What’s wrong?"
Su Xuan sensed a hint of crisis. He didn’t know what was happening, but it was probably related to the scenes he had witnessed in the Illusion Realm.
"The Holy Medicine performed a baptism on your body, but your soul was rejected by Him. It even attracted the descent of the Holy Judge." Lucia’s voice was frigid. "What are you hiding in your body? To actually disgust Him!"
"The Holy Judge?"
Su Xuan’s brows knitted tightly. He had a premonition—’Could it be because of Edith’s Filthy Sexual Desire Magic Power?’
At the same time, his heart was filled with confusion. ’Who exactly is this "Him"?’
’The God of Light?’
After a moment of thought, Lucia said coldly, "Don’t worry, I’ve already severed the connection with that being. But this also means the Baptism of Light from the Holy Medicine on your soul had to be stopped. It only managed to complete the purification of your physical body."
"Just baptizing my physical body is fine too."
Su Xuan muttered softly, his gaze fixed on his status bar.
The status bar displayed:
[Blessing of the Bright Main God: A sincere blessing from the Bright Main God. He has bestowed upon you the Divine Power of the Light Law. Light Magic Power increased by 100%, Light Magic Power recovery speed increased by 100%! (30 Days)]
[Your physical body was baptized by the Holy Medicine. All Attributes +50, Dark Resistance +30%! (Permanent)]
[Vile Desecrator: Your existence has attracted the attention of the Holy Judge! Be careful! (30 Days)]
"?"
When Su Xuan saw the [Vile Desecrator] status, his brows locked tightly. ’I’ve attracted the attention of the Holy Judge? Are those winged creatures the Holy Judge?’
’Are they... Angels?’
As his thoughts raced, Su Xuan’s gaze returned to Lucia. She was still lost in her own thoughts, seemingly deeply worried about him.
"This matter was my oversight. I didn’t expect your soul to attract the attention of the Holy Judge." Lucia continued, "But rest assured, it’s not easy for the Holy Judge to descend upon the Magic Continent. The conditions for its descent can only be met in a place of extreme sunshine, and only for a brief three minutes."
"Oh, that’s a relief."
Su Xuan let out a soft sigh of relief. A place of extreme sunshine wasn’t that easy to find, and even if one was found, he just had to stay away from it.
"However..."
Lucia suddenly moved closer to Su Xuan, the distance between them so short they could almost feel each other’s breath. Her golden-red eyes stared intently into Su Xuan’s through her semi-transparent white veil, as if trying to see through to his very soul.
"What exactly is hidden in your soul? Why would it attract His attention? I’m truly curious!"
"Er..." Su Xuan asked hesitantly, "If I were really a Demon, as the Holy Daughter of Light, you wouldn’t be planning to... purify me, would you?"
"I’ve said it before, even a Demon can be embraced by the Light’s Tolerance." Lucia said softly, "If you are a Demon, I will use my own methods to guide you onto the righteous path. A lost lamb needs to be saved. However, my patience is limited."

GULP~
Su Xuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He had learned before that when the Bright Church Court punished Cultists and Demons, they would use methods like the Baptism of Light or being Tempered by Fiery Flames.
’Not to mention the methods of the Saintess herself!’
’I’d better keep that Filthy Sexual Desire Magic Power hidden deep in my heart!’
’As expected! Dark and Light cannot coexist!’
’Ivsha is the only exception!’
"Since the baptism is over, you should get up. Leave all the remaining Holy Medicine for the Little Nun." Lucia took a step back and reminded Su Xuan.
"Mm."
Su Xuan grunted in agreement and then stood up.
A brilliant Holy Light suddenly burst into Lucia’s view, causing the fine brows behind her white veil to furrow slightly.
However, the Holy Light only flickered for an instant before Su Xuan covered it with a bath towel. He stepped out of the tub and sat to one side, quietly waiting for Ivsha’s baptism to finish.
After glancing at Su Xuan, Lucia turned her gaze back to Ivsha.
She gazed at Ivsha’s snow-white, jade-like skin, a thread of doubt rising in her heart. She couldn’t understand why Ivsha, a Succubus, could so smoothly absorb the Power of Light.
Shouldn’t the Power of Light have a suppressive effect on Demons? Even a Demon who had Faith in the Holy Light couldn’t possibly be like Ivsha.
Even when Saintesses underwent the baptism of Holy Medicine, a flicker of pain would cross their faces. Yet, for Ivsha, her expression only changed subtly the moment she stepped into the Light...
A thousand thoughts raced through Lucia’s mind, and her gaze couldn’t help but drift back to Su Xuan.
’Could it be because of...’
At that moment, Su Xuan was focused on browsing the Player channel and didn’t notice the deep meaning in Lucia’s complicated gaze.
He muttered to himself nonchalantly, "Have another two Demon Caves been destroyed?"
As he spoke, he opened a bottle of milk, took a sip, and continued to leisurely watch the movements of other Players.
"Hm? A Guild got promoted to A-Level?"
A series of messages jumped across Su Xuan’s vision, all congratulating a player on their Guild’s promotion to A-Level.
A question couldn’t help but arise in his mind: ’This should be the first A-Level Guild in the entire world, and it only took three and a half months?’
Just as he was lost in thought, Lucia had silently appeared before him.
Before he could even react, Lucia’s toes gently hooked the bath towel covering the Holy Light and yanked it right off.
"What are you doing?"
Su Xuan was momentarily stunned. ’What is the Holy Maiden trying to do?’
"I’ve had a question lingering in my mind for a while now." Lucia stared icily at Su Xuan’s Holy Light and asked, "Why... is yours glowing?"
"You can’t generalize about people’s Physiques. Is it really that strange for it to glow?"
Su Xuan was speechless. He wanted to pick up the bath towel on the floor to cover himself.
But then he heard Lucia’s sharp reprimand, "Don’t move! Let th— Let me take another look!"
"..."
Su Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly. He knew that glowing was indeed a bit unusual, but in the Magic World, it shouldn’t be anything *that* special, right?
Before Su Xuan could respond, Lucia was already staring intently at his Holy Light. She seemed to possess an intense curiosity about its existence.
"To think you possess a Power with the same origin as the sun. How unexpected~"
Huh?
Hearing Lucia’s words, Su Xuan showed a confused expression.
’So the Holy Judge wasn’t attracted by Edith’s Filthy Sexual Desire Magic Power, but by my... [sunny and cheerful]?’
