Free Web NovelChapter 70: Chapter 70: The Valkyrie’s Remnant Soul? Roxia, It’s Not What You Think
’Rosaline’s final Memory Fragment!’ Su Xuan gazed at the faint glimmer of light in Natasha’s hand, his heart filled with joy and anticipation.
Natasha had succeeded!
Using the Soul Secret Technique, she had successfully summoned Rosaline’s last Memory Fragment!
"Mr. Su Xuan, it was a bit of a winding road, but I managed to fulfill your request." Natasha smiled, her eyes narrowing as they sparkled with a soft light.
"You’ve worked hard, Natasha. Rosaline’s memory should be able to fully recover now." Su Xuan smiled at Natasha and habitually ruffled her hair. This was the reward he always gave Ivsha after she completed a mission, but now, the gesture had naturally extended to Natasha.
"Mr. Su Xuan..." Natasha’s voice was slightly hesitant.
The sudden head pat stunned her for a moment; she clearly hadn’t expected such an intimate gesture. freewebnoveℓ.com
However, Su Xuan didn’t seem to notice anything amiss. Perhaps this was a confidence granted to him by the Succubus.
Fortunately, Natasha showed no aversion to the gesture. On the contrary, the corners of her lips curved into a smile, as if she was tacitly accepting this intimacy.
She asked curiously, "Is this how you normally treat other Guild members?"
Natasha’s question made Su Xuan pause for a second, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.
"Ahem."
He cleared his throat, took a slight step back, and said, "Now that we’ve found the last Memory Fragment, I’ll have Rosaline absorb it immediately to help her recover her memory."
"Wait a moment," Natasha gently stopped Su Xuan. "Have you forgotten our agreement? You promised you would help me examine this Soul Necklace."
"How forgetful of me. Come on, let me take a look at that Soul Necklace for you," Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Then I’ll have to trouble you."
Natasha handed the Soul Necklace over.
The moment Su Xuan took the necklace, he keenly sensed a terrifying Magic Power emanating from within it.
He tried using his Player’s Authority to inspect the Soul Necklace’s information but found that the data he could retrieve was still very limited.
Just then, a prompt appeared in his mind.
[To view all information about this item, a sliver of Soul Power must be channeled.]
’Channel a sliver of Soul Power?’ Su Xuan fell into thought upon seeing the prompt.
Although he had learned how to mobilize his Magic Power with Ivsha’s help, he was completely clueless about using Soul Power.
Fortunately, wasn’t there a Mind Mage right beside him?
"Natasha, can you teach me how to channel my Soul Power into this necklace?" Su Xuan asked.
"Of course! First..."
Natasha painstakingly taught Su Xuan how to guide his Soul Power, but just as Su Xuan was about to try, he suddenly remembered that his Magic Power had been completely drained by the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly, making it impossible for him to guide his Soul Power with it.
"It’s alright, I have a way." Natasha gave a gentle smile and lightly grasped Su Xuan’s wrist. "Let me give you a hand."
As she spoke, a faint blue light bloomed in her palm. Su Xuan could feel Natasha slowly transferring her Magic Power into his body, replenishing his depleted reserves.
Then, Natasha continued explaining how to guide his Soul Power. "Slowly now, transfer it in bit by bit."
"It might feel a little unfamiliar the first time, causing a slight ache in your soul, but you’ll get used to it quickly."
"Like this?"
"That’s right! You’re doing great, Mr. Su Xuan!"
"You’re so amazing!"
Following Natasha’s guidance, Su Xuan gradually channeled his Soul Power into the Soul Necklace. At first, it felt strange, and a throbbing pain echoed from the depths of his soul, but thankfully, it was within a tolerable range.
Gradually, he got the hang of the technique, and his Soul Power flowed smoothly into the Soul Necklace.
And just then, a cold, wrathful face suddenly burst into his vision!
"Human! Who let you in! Get out!"
THUMP!
Su Xuan’s consciousness was instantly expelled from the Soul Necklace. He didn’t even get a clear look at the other’s face; only the furious emotion roiled in his mind.
Thankfully, a Player information prompt provided the answer.
[Remnant Soul of the White Rose Valkyrie (Myth): Scattered across the vast domain of the Star Kingdom are the remnant souls of seven Valkyries. They have been entrusted with the sacred mission of guarding seven cities. (Information regarding this can be found in the "Library.")]
’Remnant Soul of the White Rose Valkyrie?’
Su Xuan gasped for breath, trying to calm the shock in his heart.
He was certain that the remnant soul’s power had reached a level he was utterly incapable of resisting. If it wanted to kill him, a single glance would probably be all it took!
This was definitely not an existence that someone of his Level could face!
As for the ’Library’ mentioned in the prompt, it was a library open to Players, containing common knowledge about the game world and the histories of the various kingdoms.
In short, it was a collection of world history records.
’Maybe I should pay it a visit...’ Su Xuan had wanted to go to the library for a while but had never found the time.
He couldn’t help it!
Ivsha was just too enthusiastic!
"Mr. Su Xuan, are you alright?" Seeing the look of terror on Su Xuan’s face, Natasha immediately rushed over and asked with concern.
"Did you overexert your Soul Power? It’s all my fault..."
"Lie down for a bit and rest. Don’t hurt yourself because of me!"
...
At this very moment, outside Natasha’s room, Roxia stood perfectly still, her body as stiff as if it were frozen. She didn’t dare make a sound, or even breathe.
Her mind was a whirlwind of confusion and conflict. A moment ago, she had started to overhear some sounds, and they had left her in shock.
"Go in a little deeper, bit by bit..."
"It might be a little painful at first, but you’ll get used to it..."
"That’s amazing, Su Xuan!"
"You’re so incredible!"
"Let’s take a break, don’t wear yourself out."
These disjointed phrases made Roxia feel extremely awkward and troubled. Her hand trembled, frozen in mid-air.
She had been looking for Su Xuan to inform him about a special commission issued by the Sunset City Lord to the Adventurer’s Guild: a request for reinforcements to defend Sunset City against an impending beast tide.
Roxia had initially been confused. When she asked Ivsha and the others where Su Xuan was, they told her that the President had left the banquet hall with Natasha and pointed her in the direction they had gone.
She had followed their directions all the way here, only to hear such a shocking conversation at the door!
’Mr. Su Xuan and Auntie Natasha are...’
’Oh, my...’
Roxia’s mind was instantly flooded with all sorts of fantasies. These lewd images were perhaps a bit too much for a young woman who had just come of age. Her cheeks instantly turned crimson, as if about to drip blood, and her body began to secrete a large amount of the Curse’s aura. And for some reason, the scent of that aura had changed.
"Hm? Natasha, do you smell a faint fragrance?"
"It smells so good!"
