Chapter 392: Chapter 276: Don’t Worry! I’ll Use [Tongue of Death] to Help You Lift the Curse

"That’s a possibility, but you’ll have to investigate its authenticity yourself." Lucia nodded lightly. She then stood up, touched a finger to her red lips, and pressed a shimmer of light onto the center of Su Xuan’s brow.

"What’s this?"

Su Xuan was slightly taken aback. He didn’t feel anything unusual, nor did he see any notification prompts.

Lucia didn’t explain further, simply saying softly, "Well, I’ll be returning to the Bright Church Court. I’ll let you know immediately if I hear anything."

"Alright."

Su Xuan nodded in agreement, watching Lucia step into the Teleportation Array until her figure vanished.

Afterward, his gaze returned to the Silver Hairpin.

"Can this thing really find Queen Medusa’s true body?"

Su Xuan twirled the Silver Hairpin, carefully observing the intricate patterns carved on it.

He didn’t know if Queen Medusa was dead or alive in the Land of Silence, but if this Silver Hairpin could truly lead them to her—even if it was just to a corpse—it would represent a fortune of immeasurable value.

"Oh, right."

Su Xuan remembered that he still had an unused [Demon King] trait.

’Naturally, I have to give this Super Rare Additional Trait to my most beloved Ivsha~’

As it happened, Ivsha’s Race was Demon, making her a perfect fit for the [Demon King] trait.

"Master~"

Just as Su Xuan opened the trait panel to add the [Demon King] trait to Ivsha, Alice suddenly appeared like a gust of wind and hugged him tightly from behind.

The little Maid’s sudden charge made Su Xuan’s body sway. By the time he regained his composure, the [Demon King] trait had already been added.

But...

[The ’Demon King’ trait has been added!]

[Demon King: One of the rulers of the Abyss, leader of the Demon Race. Provides a 50% combat power boost to allied Demon Race units, deals 50% additional damage to Light units, and grants 50% damage reduction from Dark units. This unit can gain recognition from the Abyss Throne!]

"?"

Su Xuan was quite satisfied when he saw the effects of the [Demon King] trait.

However, when his gaze fell upon the member it had been added to...

"Viora?!"

Su Xuan’s expression instantly grew grave, and his heart seemed to stop.

’Crap!’

He hastily tried to retract the trait, but discovered that once it was added to Viora, it couldn’t be taken back...

Su Xuan’s brow furrowed as his gaze shifted to Viora.

The little one was cheerfully playing with the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly, seemingly unaware that she had quietly become a Demon King.

As for physical changes, Su Xuan observed carefully and noticed that Viora’s antlers were gradually being dyed a dark red, fading from their original pale pink.

"It... should be fine, right?"

Su Xuan muttered to himself. Since what was done was done, he could only accept this reality.

’A little deer becoming a Demon King... tsk tsk~’

"Is something wrong?"

Su Xuan turned around and asked softly, looking at Alice, who was still hugging him tightly.

Alice pressed against his back, nuzzling him as she said, "Master, Master~ While we were on a task today, we met a Priest from the Moon God Empire. She told me some things."

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, asking curiously, "Oh? What did she say to you?"

"She told me that if I go to the Moon God Empire in the future, I can contact her, and she can take me to see the Witch..." Alice relayed the gist of it to Su Xuan, her smile never fading as she spoke.

After listening, Su Xuan smiled and patted Alice’s head, saying gently, "Is that so? Then we can contact that Priest the next time we go to the Moon God Empire."

’But deep down, he felt that something wasn’t right. The Moonlight Witch who created Alice is a taboo in the Moon God Empire, yet this person knew about the relationship between Alice and the Moonlight Witch.’

’That meant the other party’s identity had only two possibilities. Either she was a loyal subordinate of the Moonlight Witch, using the Priest to pass a message to Alice, or she was an enemy of the Moonlight Witch, wanting to use Alice to deal with her.’

Su Xuan naturally leaned toward the latter possibility—that she was an enemy of the Moonlight Witch.

After all, the intermediary for the Moonlight Witch to pass information to Alice was him, the Guild President.

"That’s wonderful~ Master is so amazing~ The Witch will definitely like you, Master~" Alice said with a smile, gently rubbing her cheek against Su Xuan’s.

"Maybe so." A faint smile played on Su Xuan’s lips as he recalled his interactions with the Moonlight Witch.

’At least the Moonlight Witch hadn’t disturbed the peace of the Star Kingdom like the Night Witch, nor had she turned a medium-sized kingdom into an eternally frozen land like the Icefield Witch.’

「Time flew by, and soon it was midnight.」

Su Xuan was sorting through his gains for the day.

He had completed one C-level Task, earning 20 Gold Coins, 200,000 experience points, and five Ascension Crystals.

In addition, completing three daily tasks had yielded 5 Gold Coins and 60,000 experience points.

Ascension Crystals were items required for Adventurers above level 50 to level up. Each crystal provided one level-up.

"Once the college entrance exams are over, I’ll level everyone up." Su Xuan was laying out his future plans, intending to accelerate their leveling speed after the exams.

"Mmm~"

Su Xuan stretched his body and then walked into his bedroom.

He planned to get a good night’s sleep hugging his Dragon Lady Pillow, then face the college entrance exams tomorrow.

But as soon as he stepped into the bedroom, he noticed Kanlutia tossing and turning in her coffin, letting out faint "Nngh... nngh..." sounds.

"What’s wrong? You look very uncomfortable."

Su Xuan quickly walked to Kanlutia’s coffin and carefully observed her complexion.

Kanlutia’s face was pale, her small fangs biting into her red lips, with faint traces of blood at the corners of her mouth.

"I-It’s nothing... It’s just the little Curse acting up."

Kanlutia answered stubbornly, simultaneously wiping the sweat from her brow with a small hand, trying to hide her pain.

"Is there any way I can help you suppress this Death Curse?"

Su Xuan frowned and asked with concern.

"It’s useless. The Goddess of Death’s Curse has already penetrated deep into my..." Kanlutia waved her hand, a forced smile on her lips. "I’ll handle it myself. This Curse isn’t enough to make me submit."

With that, she burrowed under the covers, not wanting Su Xuan to get involved.

"I can’t sleep with you like this."

As Su Xuan spoke, he pulled back the blanket and saw Kanlutia curled up in the coffin, her legs clamped tight, her jade-like body trembling constantly.

She was pressing her hands tightly between her legs, clearly trying with all her might to suppress the Death Curse.

Catalyzed by the curse, Su Xuan could also smell a rich, unusual fragrance that constantly teased his nostrils...

’Crap!’

Suddenly, Su Xuan’s brows knitted together, and he took a step back.

At that moment, his fangs elongated, and the Bloodthirsty urge took over!

"You—!"

Kanlutia’s expression changed drastically when she saw the change in Su Xuan.

As a Vampire, she naturally knew what was happening to him—he was craving blood!

’Strange, why would the Death Curse affect the [Bloodthirsty] trait?’

Su Xuan gripped the sides of the coffin with both hands, looking to be in great pain. He never would have imagined that under the effects of the Death Curse, Kanlutia would emit an unusual fragrance that would drive him mad!

The impulse from [Bloodthirsty] made him subconsciously look at Kanlutia lying in the coffin.

The blood of a True Vampire Ancestor was the highest quality blood imaginable. The value triggered by the [Bloodthirsty] trait had even reached 1000!

’How could I possibly resist!’

Driven by [Bloodthirsty], Su Xuan extended his demonic claws toward Kanlutia.

"No!"

"Don’t drink my blood!"

"No!"

"The blood I worked so hard to store!"

"Go away! Go away!"

At this moment, Kanlutia was also unable to move freely due to the Curse’s influence. She could only watch helplessly as Su Xuan gradually approached, powerless to resist.

The only thing she could do was kick her small legs, trying to push Su Xuan’s hands away.

But it was all in vain. Su Xuan grabbed her ankle, opened his fangs, and bit down hard.

"!!!"

Kanlutia was so shocked she covered her mouth, her crimson eyes wide.

’Wait!’

’If you’re going to drink blood, drink blood! Why aren’t you biting my neck? Why are you...’

’Wait!’

’What is this...’
