Chapter 66: Chapter 66: You’re Not Allowed to Tease the Master with Your Jade Feet in White Silk

’A true work of art~’

Su Xuan marveled inwardly as he admired Alice’s flawless, jade-like feet.

’While black silk stockings are beautiful, it all depends on who’s wearing them. For someone as pure and cute as Alice, White Silk is the perfect choice!’

"Master~ Did you find the loose thread?"

Just then, Alice’s voice, as light as the wind, reached him.

She cupped her hands slightly, carefully holding her curly pink pigtails as if cradling a delicate flower. Her beautiful, large eyes, as clear and limpid as a lake, were filled with anticipation and longing.

"Hold on, let me take a closer look~"

Su Xuan carefully inspected Alice’s two small, delicate feet, brushing his fingertips over every inch to make sure he didn’t miss a spot. However, after looking for a long time, he still couldn’t find any loose thread that needed mending...

Wait!

Su Xuan suddenly came to his senses!

’Alice’s clothes are woven from her Magic Power. How could they possibly have a loose thread?!’

However, just as he figured this out, Alice had already made her move.

She gently hooked his chin with the tip of her foot, bringing him closer, and said coquettishly, "Maybe it’s not here~ Could you help me check somewhere else?"

The moment Alice finished speaking, her thoughts flooded into Su Xuan’s mind like a tidal wave. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

’There’s no loose thread~ I just want Master to meticulously check every single part of me~’

’I love it when Master stares at me with that appreciative gaze~’

’Master~ Please take a good, long look at me~’

?

’You little minx!’

’Teasing your master, are we?’

"Alright, alright~ I need to rest a bit now. Go and say hello to the other Guild members."

With that, Su Xuan gently patted away Alice’s White Silk-clad feet and stood up, planning to get some rest.

Although Edith’s black tea had energized him, he had been completely drained by his earlier ordeal with Ivsha in the church. Now, all he wanted was to lie down for a bit and recover his strength.

"Okay~ You get some rest then, Master~"

Alice blinked playfully. Not pestering him any further, she slipped on her small, pink, round-toed leather shoes and skipped over to Rosaline, who was sitting in the Guild hall.

Su Xuan gave a faint smile at the sight, then turned and walked into the Guild’s back room. He lay down on the simple wooden cot, preparing to make do for the night.

However, just as he was drifting off to sleep, Alice slipped into the room without a sound. She stood by the bed, gazing at the sleeping Su Xuan, a mysterious and coquettish smile on her face...

...

「The next day.」

Gentle morning Sunshine filtered through the cracks in the window, spilling softly into the room.

"M-Mr. Su Xuan?"

A soft call awakened Su Xuan from his deep sleep. He groggily opened his eyes and looked toward the door. Ivsha was standing there, her expression showing a hint of surprise, her gaze fixed on him.

"Good morning, Ivsha."

Su Xuan smiled and greeted her, though he was slightly puzzled. He didn’t understand why Ivsha was looking at him with such an astonished expression.

’Is it because this is my first time spending the night in the Guild?’

As he was lost in thought, Su Xuan suddenly smelled a faint, captivating fragrance that sent a strange thrill through him. At the same time, he noticed his left arm felt heavy, as if it were being weighed down by something.

And in that instant, a realization seemed to dawn on him.

When he slowly turned his head, a vision of snowy white met his eyes. Alice was clinging tightly to his left arm, lying quietly beside him, her pure, flawless skin shimmering with an alluring luster in the dim light...

Wait?

Alice!

Where’s your Maid uniform?

Huh?

Why is it scattered all over the bed and the floor?

What on earth happened last night after I fell asleep?

"Mmm~"

Just then, Alice slowly opened her sleep-hazed eyes. Her large, aqua-blue eyes sparkled like brilliant stars in the dim morning light. She gazed quietly at Su Xuan, a smile blooming on her youthful cheeks. "Good morning~ Master~"

’?’

Su Xuan’s expression grew serious as he searched his memory, but everything about last night was shrouded in a thick fog. He couldn’t remember a thing.

"Mr. Su Xuan~ Who is this?"

Ivsha entered the room, her expression puzzled. She gently picked up the articles of clothing and handed them to Alice one by one, all while looking quizzically at Su Xuan.

"This is Alice, a new member of our Guild," Su Xuan explained. "You remember that doll Emily gave me? This is her."

As he spoke, he gently extricated his arm from Alice’s tight embrace.

He wracked his brain, trying to piece together the scattered fragments of the previous night’s memories. After thinking for a long while, however, he came to a firm conclusion: nothing had happened. After all, Ivsha had already drained him of all his Life Magic Power before that.

"So she’s the doll that Emily gifted you?" Ivsha asked, looking at Alice with curiosity. A faint light glimmered in her lavender eyes, a look of surprise at Alice’s identity.

Then, she smiled and said, "Welcome to our Guild~"

"Hello, Senior Succubus~" Alice greeted Ivsha politely, her voice sweet and gentle, even as she once again pressed her body against Su Xuan’s.

Seeing Alice’s actions, a look of resignation flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes. He reached out and lightly tapped Alice on her little head, admonishing, "Okay, that’s enough! Get dressed. We’re heading out soon."

"Oh~"

Alice clutched her head and obediently got up to get dressed.

She merely brushed her fingertips against her skin, and the pink Maid uniform, as if summoned by Magic, instantly dissolved into soft threads. They rewove themselves across her skin, perfectly outlining her enchanting curves.

"Phew~"

Su Xuan let out a long breath and stepped out of the room. He rubbed his temples, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

He was pleasantly surprised to discover that resting in the virtual game world provided the same restorative effect as sleeping in reality. This meant Players could stay immersed in the game for extended periods, only needing to return to the real world for basic necessities like eating, drinking, and using the restroom.

When he arrived in the Guild hall, he saw Rosaline meticulously caring for the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly.

Rosaline focused on drawing a wisp of Magic Power from her body. The wisp danced in her palm, flickering with a faint light like a lively stream.

Afterward, she offered this Magic Power to the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly for its daily feeding.

"Does this little guy eat Magic Power?" Su Xuan asked Rosaline curiously.

Rosaline nodded calmly and patiently explained, "Yes, it’s a type of Demon formed from the convergence of Elemental Magic Power. Normally, you just need to continuously feed it Magic Power. Of course, it prefers the Magic Power of its master."

CHIRP CHIRP~

Upon seeing Su Xuan arrive, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly immediately flew cheerfully to his shoulder, rubbing lightly against his cheek. Its shimmering eyes revealed deep longing and anticipation, as if silently pleading for his Magic Power.

Su Xuan pondered for a moment. He recalled that after his promotion to E-Level Player, his All Attributes had increased by a fair bit. Adding in his Basic Attributes, every one of his Attributes was now a solid 30 points!

’My combat power is still a little lacking, but this should be enough to feed the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly, right?’

"Alright, I’ll feed you some Magic Power!"

Su Xuan smiled gently and extended a fingertip, preparing to transfer Magic Power to the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly using the method Ivsha had taught him.

However, the instant he extended his finger, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s slender proboscis quickly enveloped his fingertip and began to greedily drain the Magic Power from his body.

’Is this all there is to it? Pretty simple~’

Su Xuan had thought the process would be simple—just letting the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly drink a little Magic Power.

But after only a few seconds, he noticed something was wrong.

His Magic Power was draining at an alarming rate, siphoned away without pause by the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly.

’My Magic Power!’

’It’s almost gone?’

"Wait! Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly, stop!"
