Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Want to Betray the Holy Light in a Church?

Mole tumbled for over ten meters before he finally managed to stop.

The moment he stood up, Rosaline broke through the circle of several servants and appeared before him. She swung the longsword in her hand, unleashing a streak of golden Sword Qi.

Although it left no external wounds, it caused severe damage to the wealthy merchant’s internal organs and bones.

The kind of injury that would keep him bedridden for weeks. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Ah!"

Mole let out a bloodcurdling scream as pain shot through his entire body. His portly figure scrambled back several steps, stumbled, and fell heavily to the ground.

This time, he couldn’t even stand, passing out completely.

The terrifying scene left the servants so scared they barely dared to breathe. Rosaline’s combat prowess was beyond their imagination; they couldn’t fathom how Silver Moon Town could have such a powerful Knight.

’It’s a shame I can’t kill him in town in front of so many people. If I attract the attention of the Law Enforcement Knights, completing Ivsha’s character quest will become incredibly difficult.’

’Otherwise, I could have eliminated an unpredictable variable for the quest right now.’

"Lord Mole!"

Seeing that Rosaline didn’t pursue them, the wealthy merchant Mole’s servants rushed over to help him up. The unconscious Mole couldn’t respond and was ultimately carried away from the church by four servants, back to his manor.

"So cool!"

"What an amazing Knight!"

"That scoundrel was always verbally insulting the Nuns of our church. It’s all thanks to Mr. Su Xuan for teaching him a lesson."

"What a villain! Oh, supreme Lord! Please make him disappear from Silver Moon Town!"

Witnessing this, the Nuns swarmed over, expressing their gratitude to Su Xuan and Rosaline.

Su Xuan just smiled, thinking to himself, ’This is a pretty good storyline. Getting admired by the Nuns after teaching a despicable villain a lesson... as a Player, this feels pretty damn good~!’

Then, his gaze turned to Sister Kelly. She didn’t seem to mind his reckless actions. ’It looks like Sister Kelly never intended to cooperate with the merchant Mole from the start. The idea proposed by those two Priests who showed up out of nowhere wasn’t viable after all.’

In a corner hidden from Su Xuan’s view, Sister Moran was secretly observing everything that had just happened. Her eyes were cold and profound, as if she were deep in thought.

...

"Mr. Su Xuan, this is the predicament our church is currently facing. If we can’t find an effective solution, even if someone were willing to donate, it would only be a temporary relief. It wouldn’t solve the problem at its root."

Su Xuan walked side-by-side with Sister Kelly, listening intently to the church’s current struggles.

Behind them, dozens of Nuns followed curiously, listening in on the discussion about the church’s future.

"If we could find a way for the church to turn a profit, perhaps that would truly resolve the crisis," Su Xuan said, stroking his chin.

Even the money Ivsha earned at the Guild wasn’t enough to cover the church’s financial deficit.

Although Ivsha had previously said the church was only losing 50 Silver Coins per month, Su Xuan discovered after digging deeper that the situation wasn’t so simple.

A rough estimate suggested the church’s monthly deficit was far greater than 50 Silver Coins. Moreover, as Silver Moon Town was increasingly affected by Demons, this deficit was likely to grow even larger.

Su Xuan recalled the Nun’s Talisman Ivsha had given him. He mused internally, ’If I could find out the production volume and cost of the Nun’s Talisman, I might have a way to help the church.’

’But before that, I need to find out just how much this talisman is worth on the market.’

’After all, I can only plan my next move once I know how much it sells for.’

’But that means I have to go back to the Guild first.’

"Thank you very much for your concern and help. We appreciate the thought," Sister Kelly said, thanking Su Xuan with a smile. She glanced at the sky outside, which was gradually darkening. "If you don’t mind, why don’t you stay and have dinner at the church tonight?"

"Then I’ll gladly accept."

Su Xuan nodded, readily accepting Sister Kelly’s invitation.

"I have something to attend to, so I must be leaving. I’ll have Ivsha show you around."

"Okay."

After saying her piece, Sister Kelly turned and left.

"Well then, let’s go, Mr. Su Xuan. Let me show you the other areas of the church, and the Nuns’ dormitories," Ivsha said softly, smiling as she looped her arm through his.

"What would I be doing in the Nuns’ dormitories?" Su Xuan asked, a little confused.

"Hehe~" Ivsha gave a mischievous smile. Instead of answering his question directly, she simply tugged gently at his arm, leading him in a certain direction.

「Before he knew it, evening had arrived.」

Su Xuan was sitting in the church. He had just finished dinner with the Nuns. Even though this was a game, for some reason, he actually felt full!

But he wasn’t too full, because the Nuns’ food wasn’t quite to his taste.

And also...

Su Xuan glanced at Ivsha, who was standing in the distance praying. He was rather puzzled how the church’s food could have nourished Ivsha to be so... voluptuous?

And so well-endowed!

"What do you usually do when you’re on duty?" Su Xuan asked Ivsha.

It was Ivsha’s turn to be on duty today. The church’s main doors were already closed, and the other Nuns were conducting their evening prayers. No one else would be coming here.

"There’s not much to do. You just have to spend an hour or two in the church and make sure the candles don’t go out."

As Ivsha spoke, she blew out a few of the candles along the edges, leaving only two brightly burning near the central statue.

"?"

"Didn’t you say you have to make sure the candles don’t go out?" Su Xuan asked, confused.

"That’s right. As long as *those* two don’t go out, the other lights..." Ivsha said, walking over to Su Xuan’s side and sitting down right next to him.

She smiled brightly. "They were getting in the way~ So I blew them out~"

"?"

A question mark slowly formed in Su Xuan’s mind.

But then he saw Ivsha leaning in close. Her dark purple pupils glimmered faintly in the dim light as she stared intently into his eyes.

As they locked gazes, her eyes seemed to fill with hearts, and faint wisps of Magic Power rippled outwards.

It made his heart start to race like a rampaging beast.

’Wait!’

’This is a church!’

’Don’t tell me Ivsha is planning to do something... in a sacred, inviolable church...’

’What a terrifyingly hot Succubus!’

’You’re just my type!’

"Even though this is a holy church, I can never seem to suppress my inner desires."

As Ivsha spoke, she climbed onto his lap.

Her slender, snow-white fingertips traced a line, gradually parting the mists.

"Look~ ’He’ wants to violate the sacred covenant too, and experience the pleasure of betraying the Holy Light with me~"

Ivsha flashed an excited smile, her mischievous, heart-tipped tail swaying gently, as if it had found its own source of joy.

"Ivsha, what if the other Nuns come?" Su Xuan was still a little worried, deeply afraid of being discovered.

’But for some reason, the more I think about it, the more thrilling it seems.’

"Don’t worry~"

Ivsha leaned down slightly and whispered, "Evening prayers~ *gurgle*~ last for an hour. They won’t~ *slurp*~ be coming~"

"Really? That’s a relief."

Su Xuan let out a long sigh of relief, but he still felt like something was off.

"Please, rest assured~ Mr. Su Xuan~ Leave everything to me~ It’ll be over soon~ very soon~"

"Ivsha! Sister Kelly is calling for you!"

Just as Ivsha was about to immerse herself in the ’Holy Light’ she had dreamed of, a nun’s shout suddenly rang out.

"Looks like~ we’ll have to wait a little longer~"

Disappointed, Ivsha hid her ’food’ away and then responded, "Coming~"

She then swayed her hips as she walked towards the side door on the right.

Phew~

Su Xuan let out a breath. ’This game’s plot is getting pretty bold. Looking at it this way, the God of Light is definitely going to be an asshole in the later storyline!’

’Desecrating the Holy Light is actually kind of thrilling. I should go outside for some fresh air to cool down.’

’So I don’t "die" too quickly.’

Just as Su Xuan stood up, preparing to ’cool his magazine,’ he was startled to find that a woman with long, wine-red hair had appeared in the church at some point.

What was even more thrilling was that her face bore a striking resemblance to Ivsha’s...
