Chapter 33: The Bishop

A sudden voice interrupted their conversation. Luo Yuxi’s heart sank as she saw a group of girls in silver armor approaching, the Divine Punishment Army’s banner fluttering in the wind. Being caught by them was no different from being caught by witches.

“I am Luo Yuxi, a Direct Nun of the Church, in charge of the southern border church…”

Luo Yuxi had expected the Divine Punishment Army to investigate after the witches caused such a commotion, but she hadn’t expected them to arrive so quickly. She could only hope her identity would prevent a thorough inspection.

“That scared me! It’s our own people. I thought it was four witches…”

“We might not even survive encountering one, let alone four~”

“Luo Yuxi? Isn’t she the Direct Nun who was kidnapped by witches?!”

…

Luo Yuxi approached slowly, sensing the army’s lowered vigilance upon recognizing her identity. Yun Keke’s eyes shone as she looked at the neatly arranged soldiers, while Yu Keke nervously clutched Luo Yuxi’s clothes, as if seeking comfort.

“It seems things are still under control. Fortunately, it’s just the Divine Punishment Army, no bishops…”

“So you escaped on your own. Headquarters wanted to send me to rescue you under the guise of investigation…”

A voice behind Luo Yuxi made her jump. She turned and saw a girl in white robes with a golden cross, and she wanted to slap her past self. She had only casually mentioned it, and now a bishop had actually appeared.

“May the Goddess watch over you. Thank you for coming to my rescue, Bishop…”

Luo Yuxi didn’t let her guard down, even though the girl looked shorter than her. In the game, these characters were just quest-giving NPCs, but here, they could fight witches one-on-one.

“Wow~ Your clothes are so pretty~”

Before Luo Yuxi could figure out how to deal with the bishop, Yun Keke had already approached her, touching her clothes. Luo Yuxi’s heart leaped into her throat.

“Hey, what are you doing?! Don’t just touch other people’s clothes!”

Yuehua Fengyun was annoyed. Since becoming a bishop, she was always the one doing the scrutinizing. This little girl dared to touch her clothes! She was about to reprimand Yun Keke when Luo Yuxi quickly stepped in front of her.

“Bishop, my sister apologizes for her rudeness. She probably hasn’t seen such beautiful clothes before…”

Luo Yuxi was afraid Yuehua Fengyun would say something that would provoke Yun Keke into revealing her identity. Then, not only would their plan to infiltrate the Church fail, but Luo Yuxi might also be accused of harboring witches.

“You…! Forget it. My mission is to investigate the situation here and bring you back if possible. Now that the mission is complete, there’s no need to stay…”

Yuehua Fengyun waved her hand dismissively. Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected her to let it go so easily. In her memory, Yuehua Fengyun, as a quest-giving NPC, had given her a hard time, especially during the job change quest to become a Saintess, which required the approval of all 12 bishops.

Yuehua Fengyun’s obsessive pursuit of perfection had caused Luo Yuxi to fail the quest multiple times. Yuehua Fengyun wasn’t in a good mood either. She had been slacking off at headquarters when she was suddenly assigned this investigation mission, a task beneath her status as a bishop. But for some reason, seeing Luo Yuxi’s slightly vulnerable expression, her frustration dissipated.

“7th Squadron of the Divine Punishment Army! Retreat!”

Luo Yuxi watched the Divine Punishment Army retreat and breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process had been bumpy, she had managed to get through it. Suddenly, the squadron captain dropped a disc-shaped device. Yun Keke, seeing this, called out to her.

“Hey! You dropped something!”

Yun Keke picked up the disc. The captain rushed over and took it from her, about to thank her, when the disc started flashing red.

“Huh? What’s this? Why is it flashing red?”

“This is a witch identification device. A flashing red light means…”

The captain looked at the device in confusion. Luo Yuxi, overhearing their conversation, almost fainted. She had recognized the device the moment Yun Keke picked it up, but it was too late to stop her.

“Yun Keke! Just… give it back to her. Some things are better left unsaid…”

“But it keeps flashing red, I thought it was broken…”

Luo Yuxi pleaded with Yun Keke to stay away from the device, but Yu Keke, seeing her sister’s confusion, couldn’t contain her curiosity and walked over. The captain felt a headache coming on.

“There are three witches nearby… is this thing broken? I just got it yesterday…”

The vice-captain, seeing this, walked over and looked at the flashing disc, chuckling. A single witch was difficult to deal with, let alone three, especially within detection range. Their squadron wouldn’t be enough.

“It must be broken. There’s nowhere to hide around here.”

“You’re right. We’ll have to report it for repairs…”

Seeing them return to their ranks, Luo Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly approached the two lolis and flicked them on their foreheads.

“Ouch~”

“Whimper…”

Normally, Luo Yuxi wouldn’t dare provoke witches, but if she let these two run wild, she would have a heart attack.

“From now on, you two must cooperate fully and obey my commands 100%, or you’ll never see your mother again!”

The threat worked. Yun Keke and Yu Keke instantly became obedient, following behind Luo Yuxi. Luo Yuxi sighed. From today onwards, the number of ticking time bombs around her had increased from one to two. She didn’t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Meanwhile, back at the church, a white-haired girl opened the door.

“Strange, where did everyone go?”

Chapter 32: Little Yu, Little Yun

Luo Yuxi tried to escape as quickly as possible, but after only a few steps, a terrifying energy erupted from the center of the witch gathering. She heard a deafening roar, and a multicolored mushroom cloud rose from the ground.

“Ah?! What the heck?! Why are there nuclear explosions in a world of magic?!”

Before she could process what was happening, a massive shockwave spread outwards, sending her flying. Intense heat and a chaotic mix of lightning, wind, and other terrifying energies followed.

[Ding]

[Ling Shuang]

The panel’s notification flashed in Luo Yuxi’s mind. Caught in the shockwave, she struggled to her feet, her enhanced healing quickly mending her burned skin and broken bones.

“Really, I was just an ordinary person before, why do I have to go through this…?”

Luo Yuxi’s clothes were tattered, but thankfully, the mushroom cloud was just a magical energy storm, not a real nuclear explosion with radiation.

“That impact was so painful… Wait, the panel says Ling Shuang is near death! I… I have to go back and save her…”

“Found you, pretty lady~”

“!!!”

Luo Yuxi grabbed a tree trunk to steady herself and turned sharply, seeing two lolis, one in purple, one in white, smiling at her. Although she had never met them, their aura screamed “witch.”

“Big sister, you run so fast, we had such a hard time finding you~”

“Really, suddenly bidding 50 million, we don’t have that much money… so we had to kidnap you~”

Luo Yuxi felt a predatory gaze, like being targeted by a beast, even though the lolis weren’t leaking any magical power. Yun Keke raised her hand, and a girl encased in a water bubble appeared before Luo Yuxi.

“Ling Shuang!! What did you do to her?!”

“Don’t be angry, big sister. This little sister was caught in that battle. My sister and I worked hard to protect her~”

Yun Keke sent the water bubble containing Ling Shuang towards Luo Yuxi. Luo Yuxi, seeing Ling Shuang’s wounds, felt a pang of heartache. Although she had been forced into some unpleasant activities, Ling Shuang had immediately sought help from Church headquarters when she learned Luo Yuxi was in danger, despite being a witch herself.

[Divine Art: Greater Heal]

Luo Yuxi touched Ling Shuang, and her wounds began to close. Yu Keke squatted down, watching Luo Yuxi heal Ling Shuang, feeling the comforting aura around her.

“As expected, big sister is a very gentle person~”

“I know you two are here to capture me, but can you let me heal her first? After I’m done with Ling Shuang, I’ll do anything!”

Yu Keke shook her head, indicating she wasn’t going to capture Luo Yuxi. If they wanted to, they wouldn’t have brought Ling Shuang.

“Then what do you want…?”

After some time, Ling Shuang’s condition stabilized. Luo Yuxi stood up and looked at the two lolis. Although she knew they were witches, she had no information about them in her game knowledge.

“Little Yu and I just want to ask you for a favor, big sister. That’s why we wanted to buy you~”

“A favor? Don’t tell me—!!”

Luo Yuxi’s mind immediately went to the gutter. Everyone she had met so far had been after her body. She didn’t understand her own charm, but she had to admit, she was just as attractive as the protagonist.

“No, no, if it’s that kind of favor, I absolutely can’t!”

“What? It’s just a small favor. Don’t worry, it’s just me and my sister~”

“Just the two of you?! No, that would break me! But you saved Ling Shuang… If it’s just one person, I can probably endure it…”

Yun Keke’s smile vanished. She thought for a moment, looked at the innocent Yu Keke, and shook her head, rejecting Luo Yuxi’s proposal.

“No, I have to be with Little Yu! I can’t leave her alone…”

“Huh?”

Seeing Yun Keke’s firm stance, as if this was non-negotiable, Luo Yuxi imagined the scene: her hands bound, blindfolded, lying on the bed, with Yun Keke and Yu Keke on either side.

“Big sister~ Close your eyes and feel our warmth~ We won’t let you rest until it’s over~”

“Big sister, I… I’ll do my best to make you feel good…! I… I won’t lose to Little Yun…!”

Just imagining the two lolis whispering in her ear made Luo Yuxi’s nose bleed. Although witches had high stamina, it would probably start fun and end with relentless “grinding.” But thinking about it that way… it didn’t sound so bad.

“Oh no, why does that sound a little exciting…? Am I a bottom?!”

Just then, Ling Shuang woke up. Seeing Luo Yuxi, who had healed her, she immediately hugged her. Feeling it wasn’t a dream, tears welled up in her eyes. She had been waiting for Luo Yuxi’s return, only to receive news of her abduction.

“Sob… Sister Yuxi, I’m sorry, I thought I would never see you again… If you don’t want to, I’ll never force you to do those things again!”

“It’s okay, I’m fine. I was just auctioned off at a witch’s den. I wasn’t actually sold~”

Luo Yuxi patted Ling Shuang’s back, comforting her. Yun Keke and Yu Keke didn’t interrupt their reunion. When Ling Shuang calmed down, Luo Yuxi gently pushed her away and looked at the twins.

“Since you two saved Ling Shuang, I’ll do you the favor…”

“Really? That’s great! Then we can go directly to the Church~!”

“Go to the Church?!”

Luo Yuxi was stunned. She had expected some outrageous request, but it was just to go to the Church? But wouldn’t going to the Church be suicide for witches? Before she could ask, Yu Keke spoke,

“Li… Little Yun and I were born witches, and our mother seems to be one of the Church’s bishops. We don’t know who she is, but she must have left us in the Witch Kingdom to protect us!”

Yu Keke’s eyes shone with a unique light, as if she could see her mother just by going to the Church. But Luo Yuxi was filled with doubts. Based on her knowledge of the Church from the game, although same-sex relationships weren’t forbidden, all 12 current bishops were single, and half of them were newly appointed.

“But you two should be fine at headquarters, as long as your witch identities aren’t discovered…”

Luo Yuxi thought about how Ling Shuang had gone to headquarters for help. Although she didn’t receive any combat support, it made sense. Even though Luo Yuxi was a registered nun, the Church would only offer symbolic assistance. Sending actual combat power would break the delicate balance and trigger a war. But the fact that the Church didn’t detect Ling Shuang’s witch identity showed how arrogant they were. With all their high-ranking members at headquarters, they didn’t even have witch detection devices installed at local churches.

“Alright, let’s go, before we’re discovered by other witches. Once we reach Church territory—”

“Yay~ We can finally see Mother~”

Yun Keke hugged Luo Yuxi excitedly, burying her face in her chest. Ling Shuang, feeling a pang of jealousy, but unable to do anything since they were her saviors and stronger than her, simply looked away, pretending not to see.

“Do you two have any speed-enhancing magic? We need to leave quickly. If Herolise finds out her 50 million purchase ran away, we’re in trouble…”

Luo Yuxi looked nervously in the direction of the mushroom cloud. The witches in the game were all beautiful, although some had tempers, but Luo Yuxi really didn’t want to get involved with Herolise. In the game, she had stabbed the protagonist through the heart while saying “I love you.”

“So, big sister, where should we go now~?”

“Anywhere witches can’t find us. We’ll go back to my church first, make a plan, and then go to headquarters…”

Luo Yuxi carried the weakened Ling Shuang on her back. Although Greater Heal could restore her to full health, the effect on others was reduced by 80% for some reason.

“As expected, using divine arts beyond my 11th Order level has limited effectiveness…”

“Do… do you need help, big sister? Little Yu can do anything…”

Yu Keke smiled sweetly, and Luo Yuxi felt her heart melt. Witches really were her type.

“Now that you mention it, there is something you two can help with. The Divine Punishment Army stationed at the border has devices that can detect witches, so could you—”

“The four of you, stop! This is the Divine Punishment Army!”

“??!!!”

…

Chapter 31: The Greed Witch—A Twisted Heart

Luo Yuxi thought her journey was over. Suddenly, the auction hall doors burst open, and a girl in a nun’s habit entered, her figure strikingly prominent. Luo Yuxi couldn’t believe her eyes. The witches in the audience instantly took on a combative stance.

“Hold on, the Witch Auction doesn’t have a rule about kicking out guests, does it…?”

The blue-haired girl, her icy blue eyes betraying no emotion, calmly surveyed her surroundings. It was Ling Shuang, who was supposed to be preparing dinner at the church. She had been looking forward to Luo Yuxi’s return, but instead, she received news of her abduction.

“This box contains a Holy Mark Imprint from the Church, worth 40 million magic stones…”

Ling Shuang held up the box. The moment Luo Yuxi was kidnapped, the Church held an emergency meeting. A few novice nuns being captured by witches wasn’t a big deal, they could just send a rescue team. But a stationed Direct Nun was a different story. Fortunately, the Witch Auction’s location wasn’t a secret.

“Has the Church misunderstood something? 40 million is indeed a large sum, but the real price depends on how much Miss Luo here is worth~”

The Forest Witch raised her hammer. The temperature in the hall plummeted. Ruo Li, in her private room, sensed a unique aura and narrowed her eyes. Yu Keke tilted her head, looking at Ling Shuang in her nun’s habit with confusion.

“A companion?”

“This is getting interesting~”

A witch, a being rejected by the world, yet blessed by demonic power. Ling Shuang knew that although she was also a witch, she had just awakened. Her power, derived from obsession, was far less potent than those of witches born from despair.

“You have the power of a witch… Haha~ A witch serving as a nun in the Church!”

“So what? I’m taking Sister Yuxi back today…”

“I hope you get your wish~ 40 million going once! 40 million going twice…”

Ling Shuang prayed that no one else would bid. A Holy Mark Imprint, capable of bestowing a Holy Mark once, was already the Church’s biggest concession. She didn’t even have 10,000 gold coins, let alone magic stones from the Witch Kingdom.

“50 million~”

However, things rarely went as planned. A masked witch in the audience stood up. Ruo Li clenched her fists upon hearing her voice.

“Why is she here…?”

Luo Yuxi had thought she was saved when Ling Shuang appeared with the box, but seeing the girl stand up, she felt a sense of familiarity.

“What a fierce bidding war! The Witch Auction has reached a record high of 50 million going once!”

The Forest Witch was ecstatic. Auction items worth tens of millions were either divine artifacts or incredibly rare. Now, a nun was about to break the auction’s record.

“Apologies, I’m not interested in your love-hate drama. But this woman, she has caught my attention~”

Ling Shuang dropped the box. She was so close, yet this newcomer had negated all her efforts. Luo Yuxi, initially unsure because of the mask, recognized the girl from her domineering tone.

“Black hair, rich… and a witch. Oh no, if she buys me!”

In an instant, Luo Yuxi recognized the figure, even with the mask. It was the Greed Witch, Herolise. When Luo Yuxi had encountered her in the game, she had summed her up as a lunatic with a warped mindset.

“50 million going twice! 50 million going thrice! Sold!”

The gavel fell. Luo Yuxi felt something like a collar around her neck. She was swept into the arms of the girl who had jumped onto the stage.

“From afar, she didn’t seem like much, but up close, she’s quite attractive~”

Luo Yuxi’s chin was pinched, and she looked into the girl’s dark eyes beneath the mask, feeling her soul being pierced. She turned away uncomfortably and heard a chuckle.

“Are you playing hard to get, woman~?”

Hearing the classic domineering line, Luo Yuxi wanted to retort, but she didn’t even have the courage to speak. This seemingly gentle and caring girl had caused Luo Yuxi much grief when she was playing the game.

Herolise’s mother was the Empire’s Knight-Captain, and her father was a count. Although she was adopted, she grew up pampered. Logically, someone like her shouldn’t experience the despair that creates a witch. But her twisted mindset made her incredibly difficult to capture. She believed that family should love her unconditionally and even imprisoned her parents because of this warped thinking.

“I love you, so please don’t share your love with others~”

Luo Yuxi remembered the cutscene in the game where Herolise, smiling, drugged her returning parents and chained them up in her room, saying “I love you” while preventing them from seeing anyone. Even Luo Yuxi, with her focus on CGs, couldn’t understand her logic.

Herolise raised her hand, and the entire hall was encased in ice. Ling Shuang radiated a terrifying aura, her icy blue eyes threatening to freeze everything.

“Take your hands off her. Don’t touch her…”

The auction was over, but the witches who were about to leave saw the brewing conflict and decided to stay and watch, after all, witches weren’t always allies. They only united against the Church.

“You can actually freeze me… Interesting ability~”

Although Ling Shuang was also a witch, the difference in their levels wasn’t easily overcome. As Herolise was about to incapacitate Ling Shuang, Ruo Li stepped between them.

“The auction is over. If you want to fight, let’s make things more chaotic~”

[High-Level Magic: Intoxication]

Ruo Li cast the spell, affecting everyone in the hall, regardless of their strength. The witches felt like they were drunk, their minds hazy, but their spirits exhilarated.

“Damn it! I’ve had enough of you!”

“Let’s fight to the death~”

“This is getting me excited~”

“I can’t beat you in bed, but I can beat you here!”

…

Although most witches could easily dispel this magic, such a state of excitement was rare, and it was a chance to settle scores under the guise of being affected by the spell.

“*A witch free-for-all? This wasn’t in the game. Why am I not affected? Wait, I can escape now!~”

Luo Yuxi’s mind raced. Confirming that no one was paying attention to her, she jumped off the stage and ran towards the forest. Ruo Li, seeing her escape, smirked and turned to Herolise, a crazed smile on her face.

“Herolise… if I can’t have her, you can’t either…”

Chapter 30: The Twin Witches

Luo Yuxi felt like a lamb among wolves, delicious and tempting, her beautiful appearance and stocking-clad legs making her an irresistible target. She had thought this was her celebration, but she was the commodity at the Witch Auction.

“Ladies and gentlemen, dear companions, on stage, we have a Direct Nun from the Church. We have confirmed her identity~”

The Forest Witch’s eyes gleamed with excitement. Luo Yuxi remembered the Witch Auction vividly from the game. There was a hidden route where the protagonist fell in love with a witch, became a witch herself, and overthrew the Church. It was considered one of the most satisfying storylines, and the world didn’t even end.

“You witches are too arrogant! You know I’m a Direct Nun, aren’t you afraid of the Church’s retaliation?!”

Luo Yuxi clung to a sliver of hope, hoping they would fear the Church’s power. But her hope was dashed. Her words only drew laughter from the witches in the audience.

“Such arrogance from a mere auction item~”

“Such a haughty attitude, how cute~”

“I must have this auction item! I want her to warm my bed tonight!”

“I bid 100,000 magic stones!!”

…

Luo Yuxi felt increasingly helpless. In a VIP room on the second floor, Ruo Li, wearing a golden mask, watched the auction unfold like a play.

“You’ll pay for the failure of my plan with your body. Let’s see how much profit your so-called noble spirit can bring me…”

Bang, bang, bang!!

The sound of the gavel brought the crowd to silence. The Forest Witch, seeing the witches and Mythical Species girls quiet down, put on a professional smile.

“I think there’s been a misunderstanding~”

She raised her hand, lifting Luo Yuxi’s handcuffed hands, revealing the mark on the back of her hand. The audience gasped, and someone shouted,

“A Holy Mark!!”

“Indeed, within the Church, those with Holy Marks are all bishops without exception. And a mere nun possesses such a complex Holy Mark~”

The Forest Witch paused, looking meaningfully at the audience, then tore Luo Yuxi’s black and white nun’s habit, exposing her pristine body.

“And no matter what injuries she sustains, she will revert to her original state. A body constantly bathed in healing light~”

Ruo Li, who had been leisurely sipping tea in her private room, dropped her cup. She had thought Luo Yuxi was just a Church nun with good looks. After all, unbranded novice nuns, obtained by witches, were treasured “toys” and considered top-tier auction items.

“Damn it, why didn’t I check more carefully!”

Ruo Li opened the door, intending to stop the auction, but two twin lolis suddenly appeared, blocking her way. She stopped, looking at the two identical girls, one with purple hair, clinging to the white-haired loli’s clothes, her eyes darting nervously.

“The Love Witch, Yun Keke, and the Hate Witch, Yu Keke…”

“Oh my, calling us by our nicknames, how distant, Ruo Li~”

Yun Keke tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looking Ruo Li up and down. Their position clearly indicated they weren’t going to let her pass. If it were just one of them, Ruo Li wouldn’t care.

“Sister Ruo Li is a valued guest of the Witch Auction, so please don’t make things difficult for us…”

“Move aside…”

Ruo Li glared at the two lolis. Yu Keke, seemingly intimidated, hid behind Yun Keke, clutching her clothes tighter. Yun Keke, although still smiling, released her power.

“Once an item is auctioned, it no longer belongs to the seller. But the seller receives the full payment. These are the rules of the Witch Auction~”

“So… please return to your private room, Sister Ruo Li…”

Ruo Li looked at the two and finally let out a cold snort, returning to her room. Looking through the glass at Luo Yuxi on the stage, her delicate and charming appearance made even the self-proclaimed “emotionally monogamous” Ruo Li feel a stirring in her heart.

“Why didn’t I consider that she might be the ‘one’ for me…?”

Ruo Li muttered to herself. Meanwhile, the bidding below had become fierce. The Forest Witch gave an enthusiastic introduction. Luo Yuxi tried to hide herself, but she had underestimated her charm. Her gentle nature, alluring body, and prestigious status made her an irresistible target.

“I have the most powerful divine weapon at home~”

“Heh, that’s nothing, a nun with a Holy Mark is my bed weapon~”

Luo Yuxi was lifted into the air by an unseen force. The Forest Witch banged the gavel, announcing the start of the auction. The witches in the audience clutched their number cards.

“A Direct Nun from the Church, a nun with a desirable body~ Starting bid: 1 million magic stones! Minimum increment: 100,000~”

“1.1 million!!”

“Out of my way, I must have her! 5 million!”

“Are you dreaming? Only 5 million~ I want to play with those jade-like feet~ 8 million!”

“I bid 9.1 million!!”

“10 million!!!”

…

Within minutes, the price had increased tenfold, but the bidding continued. Luo Yuxi hadn’t realized she was so valuable. Ruo Li, in her private room, clutched her number card, but she couldn’t bid on her own merchandise.

“20 million…!”

“???”

Ruo Li turned and saw the twins, who had been outside, now in her room, holding other number cards. Yun Keke, noticing Ruo Li’s gaze, said,

“Little Yu and I have some savings. Besides, she’s my type~”

“Little Yun… if we buy her, I want her to cuddle me tonight… is that okay?”

“Of course~”

As Yu Keke raised her number card, doubling the price, the number of bidders decreased. 10,000 magic stones was enough for a low-Order witch to live comfortably for a while. 20 million was a huge sum, even the Church might not have that much confiscated wealth.

“20 million! Any higher bids~? Going once…”

Chapter 29: The Auction

Luo Yuxi felt like she had a long dream, immersed in a warm spring. If she could, she would have stayed there forever. She slowly opened her eyes, gazing at the beautiful crystal chandelier above.

“So comfortable… I feel like I had a good sleep, and my injuries seem to be healed~”

Luo Yuxi examined her body in surprise. She had been on the brink of death, but now, not only were her injuries gone, her skin was even smoother than before, without a single scar.

“So I’ve overcome a death flag. They healed me so well, it must have been a high-ranking member of the Church~”

Luo Yuxi happily got out of bed, marveling at the luxurious decorations. She hadn’t realized elves liked such things. According to the game, they preferred natural treehouses. Looking at the crystal chandelier and gold and silver trim…

“Even for a palace, this is a bit extravagant. Why does it feel so out of place…?”

Luo Yuxi gently stroked the silky sheets and finally realized that this didn’t look like an elven palace at all. Suddenly, the door opened, and an elven girl in green clothing entered.

“Oh my, you’re finally awake. It took quite a bit of effort to heal you~”

“An elf? You scared me! I thought I had been kidnapped. So I’m still in the Elven Forest.”

Luo Yuxi was relieved, thinking it was reasonable for her, as the elven princess’s savior, to be given luxurious accommodations.

“Um, are you Miss Luo from the Church~?”

“What? Are we discussing rewards already? Oh, don’t be so polite, just let me browse the elven treasury~”

“Oh, that’s great, I’m glad I didn’t go to the wrong room. The auction is about to start, let’s hurry~”

“Auction?”

Luo Yuxi had been prepared to politely refuse any reward, but the elf’s words caught her off guard. Did they want to buy her something?

“Oh, right, we need to prepare before we go…”

“Huh? Just to buy something? What preparations are needed?”

“It’s not good to sell something without proper preparation~”

“Hmm???”

Before Luo Yuxi could ask anything else, a group of human girls entered, several carrying her nun’s habit. Another girl started to undress her without a word. Luo Yuxi blushed, but before she could react, she was dressed in the familiar habit.

“You could have told me you were going to change my clothes. I could have done it myself… But why does the slit in this habit seem higher?”

Luo Yuxi felt something was off about this habit. It looked the same as her previous one, but it was somehow more alluring. A silver necklace was placed around her neck, with the number “11” engraved on it.

“I know I’m 11th Order, but there’s no need to display it so prominently…”

“Please come with me, Miss Luo. Today is your big day~”

“So it’s a celebration? But holding an auction for a celebration seems strange. Is this an elven custom?”

The elf didn’t answer, just smiled and urged Luo Yuxi towards the auction venue. Luo Yuxi was led forward blindfolded, feeling something being placed on her hands, probably a bracelet for the surprise.

“I wonder what Sybil will buy me at the auction. If it’s something valuable, maybe I can retire early~”

Luo Yuxi felt herself being led into a spacious room. When the blindfold was removed, she squinted, blinded by the spotlights made of magic stones. She saw a podium with a small hammer.

“No way, no way, they’re not going to make me host the auction, are they?! I’m doomed. I’ve only seen it on TV, I have no idea how to do it!”

Luo Yuxi panicked, but seeing the elf girl take the hammer, she was relieved. So she wasn’t the host. Looking down, she saw her hands bound by silver handcuffs.

“Huh? Celebrations don’t usually involve this, do they?”

Luo Yuxi looked up and saw rows of girls in the audience, all female. Although there were some humans, most were various Mythical Species. Even with her slow reflexes, Luo Yuxi realized something was wrong.

“Ladies and gentlemen~ Welcome to the Witch Auction~”

“!!!”

Luo Yuxi looked at the elf girl holding the auction hammer, her eyes glowing emerald green, her gentle demeanor gone, her clothes radiating a strong life force, a terrifying power emanating from her.

Luo Yuxi finally understood. The Witch Auction was open to anyone, regardless of race or affiliation. Even members of the Church could buy items here. It claimed to be absolutely fair, selling anything and everything. Luo Yuxi looked uncertainly at the audience.

[Ding]
[Ding]
[Ding]
…

Luo Yuxi slumped to the ground, the flashing panels overwhelming her. Even the auctioneer was the Forest Witch from the game’s backstory, and nearly half the audience were witches, beings the Church struggled to hunt down, now all wearing masks, sitting like ordinary people.

“The Witch Auction has no fixed start or end time. We only auction 11 items, and the best is always saved for last~”

The elven girl, her gentle facade gone, looked at Luo Yuxi, who was slumped weakly on the ground. Luo Yuxi, as if sensing something, looked at the silver tag around her neck and slowly raised her head.

“You’re not saying… I’m the item being auctioned, are you…?”

“What do you think, dear~?”

“It’s not me, right…?”

Luo Yuxi tried to delude herself, but seeing the elf’s playful and greedy eyes, she couldn’t help but shrink back, feeling the predatory gazes from the audience.

“Then let us begin, the 11th Witch Auction~”

Chapter 28: Critically Injured Luo Yuxi

With Sybil recovered, the remaining succubi weren’t much of a threat. Although they had come with an assassination plan, a large number of high-Order individuals crossing the Elven Forest’s barrier would trigger an alarm. Therefore, the highest-ranking succubus Ruo Li brought was only 8th Order.

“In that case, I just need to wait for the Elf Queen to emerge…”

“Look! Are those cracks in the barrier?”

Luo Yuxi had just sat down to rest. The previous exertion had taken a toll on her already limited stamina. Hearing Sybil’s words, she looked up curiously.

“There do seem to be cracks… Are they done fighting already?”

Cracks in the barrier meant one of two things: either the fight was nearing its end, or the energy released was exceeding the barrier’s limit. If it was the latter, things would get very bad. This was above the center of the Elven Forest; a battle of this level could alter the terrain.

“No way, why do I have to go through this?!”

Luo Yuxi felt like crying. She had just wanted a relaxing vacation in the forest, with a side trip to the famous brothel, and now this. Was this punishment for her laziness? Sloth was indeed a sin.

“I should just run away. I might feel guilty, but it’s better than…”

“Something’s flying towards us!!!”

Before Luo Yuxi could decide which way to run, a loud crack echoed through the air, and the cocoon-like barrier shattered. She looked up and saw a red figure flying towards her at high speed.

“It looks like… a person…”

BAM!!!

Sybil also saw the red figure. Seeing its trajectory, she tried to warn Luo Yuxi, but before she could speak, Luo Yuxi was sent flying.

“Luo Yuxi!!”

Natalie saw Luo Yuxi disappear in an instant. Before they could react, a figure emerged from the hole in the treehouse wall.

“Impossible, how can you be so strong…?”

Ruo Li couldn’t understand. The fight had been within her barrier, the Elf Queen was already injured, and Ruo Li had struck first. She had the advantage of time, place, and “people,” yet she still lost.

“I think I hit something just now…”

Ruo Li moved her body. Luo Yuxi, hit head-on by a witch with the physical strength of a 3rd Order, was embedded in the wall, the taste of blood filling her throat.

“So painful… my ribs are broken… I can’t feel my left arm, it’s probably broken too… my organs are all displaced… if I don’t use healing magic soon…”

Luo Yuxi was a mess. She was lucky she wasn’t torn apart. It must have been the Goddess’s protection. She had instinctively activated her Holy Light Shield at the moment of impact, but even with the shield, it was like paper to Ruo Li.

[Divine Art: Grea—]

“Not good… the impact messed up my brain… I can’t even chant the spell…”

“Luo Yuxi!!!”

Luo Yuxi opened her eyes slightly and saw Ruo Li looking warily at a glowing figure in the sky. Sybil was looking at her anxiously from a distance, but no one dared approach because of Ruo Li.

“Damn it, I can’t hold on… but it seems the assassination failed. In that case… Sybil and Natalie should heal me, right…? I was so close to seeing the Elf Queen…”

Luo Yuxi lost consciousness. The impact had been too much for her brain to handle. As she slipped into unconsciousness, the pain subsided.

“It seems the assassination has failed…”

“Even if you succeeded, you won’t get away with it! We know who you succubi are!”

“…”

Ruo Li glared at Sybil. She had pierced Sybil’s heart, yet she was still alive and even knew their plan. And that Elf Queen was a monster. Just a mage, yet her magical power was even more terrifying than Ruo Li’s, a witch.

“As expected, it’s all because of her…”

Ruo Li moved her wrist and glanced at the unconscious Luo Yuxi. Her plan had gone wrong, but it wouldn’t have been this bad if it weren’t for that girl. Luo Yuxi had somehow entered her magically shielded brothel.

“Heh, damn Church! Was this also part of your plan?!”

“Don’t struggle, you can’t escape…”

A cold voice came from the sky. Ruo Li looked at the golden figure above, her voice gentle yet somehow reassuring, as if everything she said was true.

“I admit I’m not your match, but you think you can stop me alone? Don’t be so arrogant…”

Ruo Li glanced at the captured succubi and thought, Weaklings are just dead weight. Then, looking at the unconscious Luo Yuxi, a sinister smile appeared on her lips.

“You, the one who ruined my plan, I can’t let you off so easily~”

“What are you doing?! Stop!”

Sybil, sensing Ruo Li’s intentions, ignored the difference in their levels and flew towards her. The Elf Queen in the sky gathered a massive amount of energy.

“You think you can stop me? You’re too slow~”

Ruo Li transformed into a black mist, engulfing Luo Yuxi. Two attacks followed instantly. Within a second, Luo Yuxi was absorbed into the mist and vanished into thin air, as if she had never been there.

“I’ll gladly accept this gift~”

Chapter 27: Revive! (–)

“Where is this…? Oh, right, I’m dead… Someone with a hole in their heart can’t possibly survive…”

The girl walked forward, step by step, the icy river flowing beneath her feet. Surrounded by similar white shadows, moving towards the darkness, Sybil wondered, Is this the afterlife?

“So monotonous… I died so easily. Ah… will Natalie feel guilty seeing me take that attack for her? I haven’t even slept with Luo Yuxi yet… I’m so unwilling…”

“You can always sleep with her when you get back~”

“?!”

Sybil had only muttered to herself, still walking forward involuntarily, when a gentle voice whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine. She strained to look to the side.

“You are…?”

“I’m working so hard to save you, and you pretend not to know me? I’m so heartbroken~”

“Huh?”

A luminous figure stood beside Sybil, different from the other aimlessly wandering white shadows. The golden light was like a beacon, illuminating the darkness. The figure was that of a girl, who extended her hand.

“Now that I’ve found you, let’s go back~”

“Okay…”

Sybil felt an absolute trust towards the radiant girl. The moment she grasped her hand, the icy river receded, and the stiffness in her body disappeared.

“So soft, so warm…”

That was Sybil’s only thought. Meanwhile, outside, Luo Yuxi was frantically casting Resurrection and Greater Heal. She felt the drain on her magic power for the first time. It was like running ten laps around a track with friends.

“Haa… I could die from using divine arts. Please, wake up!”

Luo Yuxi prayed, her hands interlocked as she performed CPR on Sybil. After restoring Sybil’s body with Greater Heal, she realized that real-world first aid techniques were more effective in channeling her power.

“Cough, cough…!!”

Natalie, no longer vacant-eyed, looked anxiously at Luo Yuxi, while keeping a watchful eye on the surrounding succubi. Hearing Sybil cough, she rushed over.

“Sybil!”

Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes. When Sybil took that fatal blow for her, Natalie felt like her heart had died. She would have gladly given her own life in exchange for Sybil’s. Seeing Sybil slowly open her eyes…

“Haa, finally awake. If you hadn’t woken up soon, I would have died of exhaustion…”

Luo Yuxi sat down, exhausted. Natalie had so much to say to Sybil, but Sybil simply looked around in confusion, then, as if remembering something, looked at Luo Yuxi.

“Why are you staring at me? I know you’re grateful, but you have to give me a good review later, or else I’ll—Mmm!!! Nn~!!”

Before Luo Yuxi could finish, a delicate face leaned in, and a cool sensation on her lips caught her off guard. Natalie looked at the kissing pair in a daze.

“Mmm!! Mmm!!”

Luo Yuxi tried to push Sybil away, but after using so much magic, she had no strength. Sybil seemed to have anticipated her resistance, holding her wrists tightly and even greedily seeking more.

“Peach-flavored… It wasn’t a dream, I really am alive!”

Sybil, after thoroughly kissing Luo Yuxi, stood up innocently, as if she hadn’t been the one initiating the kiss. Natalie was still stunned, while Luo Yuxi, her face flushed, wiped her mouth, gasping for air.

“Idiot! If you think it’s a dream, shouldn’t you pinch yourself?!”

“No, pinching myself hurts~”

“You!!! You!!”

Luo Yuxi wiped her mouth, but the taste lingered. Sybil, looking at her flushed face, found her even more appealing. Luo Yuxi looked at Natalie, who had been motionless since waking up, and thought, Although there were some deviations, at least she shouldn’t become a witch now.

“That should lower the difficulty a bit… Now to deal with the other problem…”

Feeling the emptiness within her, Luo Yuxi stood up with sheer willpower. Looking at the butterfly-shaped barrier in the sky, she knew Ruo Li and the Elf Queen were fighting inside.

“I can’t fly, how do I get up there…?”

She recalled that the Elf Queen was mentioned in the later parts of the game. This assassination attempt was likely to fail, but she had prevented Sybil’s death, which could significantly alter the plot.

“If the Elf Queen dies because of this, it’ll be troublesome. I really wanted to meet her…”

“Don’t worry, Mother is very strong. But why do you want to meet my mother?”

“Eh?! When did you get next to me?!”

“Probably while you were lost in thought~”

Sybil casually hugged Luo Yuxi, as if their relationship warranted such intimacy. Luo Yuxi, uncomfortable, tried to push her away. Natalie, who had been offline, finally reconnected and stepped between them, separating them.

“Miss Yuxi, as my and Sybil’s savior, we will repay your kindness, whether you want money or our service…”

“Eh~ No need to be so formal! Luo Yuxi, let’s just get married, I’ll give myself—Mmm!”

Luo Yuxi cut Sybil off with a chokehold and covered her mouth, dragging her away. Although she didn’t hear the rest of the sentence, she knew what Sybil meant. It was best to pretend she didn’t hear anything.

“But you two don’t seem worried about the Elf Queen…”

“Well, others might lose, but Her Majesty won’t…”

Chapter 26: Self-Immolation Tactic

Luo Yuxi recalled Natalie’s backstory in the game. She became a witch out of utter despair, not only falling herself but also hunting other witches.

“A witch who hates other witches? And Sybil, as an elven princess, couldn’t possibly be absent from the later parts of the game…”

A thought struck Luo Yuxi: Sybil might die in this assassination attempt, and Natalie’s despair over Sybil’s death might be what causes her to become the Fallen Witch. Realizing this, Luo Yuxi rushed back to the treehouse.

“Sybil! We have to leave—”

The treehouse was empty. A loud explosion rocked the forest. Luo Yuxi rushed outside and saw two figures locked in battle high above the giant Elven Tree in the center of the forest.

“They said it was an assassination! What do these succubi understand about assassinations?!”

Luo Yuxi ran towards the Elven Tree, praying she wasn’t too late. Although Sybil had been a bit forward, she was a kind-hearted elf. Luo Yuxi couldn’t just watch her die.

“After this business trip, I’m definitely applying for a vacation!”

Luo Yuxi, a natural shut-in, had never run so fast in her life. She sprinted at full speed, casting a Greater Heal whenever her body reached its limit.

“Healing magic is always useful…”

She finally reached the Elven Tree, but the sight before her made her freeze. Natalie was kneeling on the ground, her eyes vacant, holding a lifeless Sybil in her arms. Even though she had been so fast, she was still too late.

“Well, well, Master Ruo Li gave that girl such a simple task, and you still managed to escape…”

Several succubi emerged from the shadows, surrounding Luo Yuxi. She saw the icy mist emanating from Natalie, clinging to Sybil’s body. She was about to fall into despair.

“Not good! Natalie’s curse was just lifted. If she becomes a witch now, she’ll go berserk…”

Luo Yuxi looked at Natalie anxiously. According to the data panel, they were both the same Order level, so Luo Yuxi should be able to handle her. But as a nun, she had many support spells, but only a few basic offensive ones.

“Capture her. I don’t know how she got here, but Master’s plan cannot be compromised…”

“I’m in a hurry, so please get out of my way…”

Luo Yuxi was distressed. She couldn’t treat this like a game anymore. Someone she cared about was dead. Natalie must be in despair. If she didn’t intervene, the world would have another Fallen Witch.

“Master Ruo Li is interested in you, so we’ll just break your limbs. They can be healed anyway…”

The succubi looked at Luo Yuxi with undisguised greed, but they underestimated her because of her nun status. No one from the Church was easy to deal with.

“I don’t want to try this, but I have no choice…”

Luo Yuxi tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She had thought about this while playing the game: if she used a self-damaging spell while simultaneously casting a powerful healing spell, could she create an infinite loop of power?

“Here goes! Self-immolation!”

Luo Yuxi hugged one of the succubi. The succubus, initially excited by the soft embrace and sweet scent, quickly lost her smile. To the shock of the other succubi, Luo Yuxi burst into flames.

[Divine Art: Holy Flame]

“Hiss… that stings…”

“Ah! Aaaah!! Let go of me, let go—!!”

White flames engulfed Luo Yuxi’s body, consuming her, but her clothes remained untouched. Holy Flame used her own body as fuel, igniting her soul and burning her opponent with its power.

[Divine Art: Greater Heal]

“That’s much better…”

As white smoke rose from her body, Luo Yuxi cast Greater Heal. Just as she had imagined, her body entered a perfect balance of destruction and regeneration. Creation and destruction occurred simultaneously.

“Haha, I’m invincible now!! Come on, who else wants some?!”

The succubi, seeing the charred remains of their companion in Luo Yuxi’s arms, backed away in fear. This self-immolating attack method was insane. No wonder they said it was better to make an enemy of an entire race than to provoke the Church.

“You’re crazy! Not cute at all!”

“I told you not to get in my way…”

Luo Yuxi glared at the succubus who had taunted her. Even from a distance, she didn’t forget to add insult to injury. Luo Yuxi wanted to chase after her, but after a few steps, she realized it was impractical. This skill required close contact, and she didn’t have any agile movement spells. By the time she reached the succubus, she would have flown away.

“Tsk… I’ll see if I can learn some self-destruct spells later…”

Seeing that the succubi weren’t going to attack, Luo Yuxi extinguished the Holy Flame. Although she wasn’t afraid of the cost, it was an area-of-effect spell. If she accidentally hit a passing elf, it would be troublesome. She rushed to Natalie’s side.

“Natalie! Snap out of it!”

“Yu… Yuxi… Sybil…”

Natalie turned her head stiffly, looking at Luo Yuxi. Feeling the coldness of Sybil’s body in her arms, she looked lifeless, her eyes devoid of light.

“Tsk, really, listen, don’t you dare become a witch!”

[Divine Art: Resurrection]

“!!!”

Natalie, who had been ready to fight the Elf Queen in her rage, looked at Luo Yuxi in shock. A strange light emanated from her, and Sybil’s fatal wound slowly closed.

“I don’t know why, but resurrection magic… I’m so lucky!”

…

Chapter 25: Sudden Incident

Luo Yuxi suddenly remembered Ruo Li’s character settings. Although she was a succubus and the Lust Witch, she was surprisingly chaste. In her view, there shouldn’t be excessive entanglement with those she didn’t love, even feeding was just a simple touch.

“In the game, she only had two or three CGs after being captured, and the difficulty was so high that many players gave up on her as soon as they saw her…”

Looking at Ruo Li’s eyes, Luo Yuxi saw a look of appreciation, as if recognizing a kindred spirit. Ruo Li tightened her grip, causing Luo Yuxi to cry out in pain and drop the dagger. Pinned against the wall, she heard Ruo Li say,

“Then let’s see how long you can maintain this haughty facade~”

“Heh, do what you will…”

On the surface, Luo Yuxi acted as if she was ready to accept her fate, but inwardly, she was elated. Since she knew Ruo Li’s preferences, why not play along? Acting was easy, especially playing hard to get. Although she really didn’t want to be caught by this succubus, she had captured every witch in the game, she wasn’t going to be taken by a small fry she didn’t even know the name of.

“Master, what about us?”

“Don’t… touch her…”

The other succubi were persistent. After all, this high-quality prey looked incredibly tempting, with her fair skin, impressive figure, and alluring scent. They were practically dripping with anticipation.

“I don’t need your pity…”

Seeing that Ruo Li seemed to be letting her go, Luo Yuxi wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip. Channeling her inner Oscar-winning actress, she conjured two balls of light, acting as if she was going to fight back. Ruo Li simply glanced back, and Luo Yuxi was instantly bound to the wall by magical ropes.

“This saves me the trouble of resurrecting. This Lust Witch is quite naive…”

Luo Yuxi smiled secretly. Whether or not she could successfully capture Ruo Li, she had at least planted a seed of goodwill. And if she didn’t return soon, Sybil would surely notice something was wrong.

“A few of you stay here and watch her. The rest, come with me…”

Ruo Li put on her hood, hiding her horns. The other succubi followed suit. As they left, Luo Yuxi, her hands bound, examined the remaining succubus.

“I need to gather some information. I have a feeling they’re connected to Natalie becoming the Fallen Witch…”

Luo Yuxi recalled the game’s backstory. Although it didn’t explain why Natalie became the Fallen Witch, she knew that Sybil didn’t appear in the later parts of the game, which was why Luo Yuxi hadn’t recognized her.

“Their plan seems to be to assassinate the Elf Queen…”

Something felt off about this situation compared to the game’s plot. But her priority was to escape. A daring plan formed in her mind. She struggled symbolically, attracting the succubus’s attention.

“Stop struggling. Even a 7th Order can’t break free from Master Ruo Li’s magic~”

“Please, let me go~”

Luo Yuxi knew how to deal with succubi. A little teasing could arouse their desires. She put on a weak and pleading act, and the succubus in front of her stiffened.

“D-Don’t struggle, there’s no way I can let you go.”

The succubus was captivated by the bound Luo Yuxi. Succubi were creatures driven by desire. If it weren’t for Ruo Li’s overwhelming strength, they wouldn’t obey her. Luo Yuxi slowly extended her leg and rubbed her stocking-clad foot against the succubus’s tail.

“If you let me go, I can do something for you~”

Luo Yuxi was confident in her charm. She had even seduced witches with high standards, a mere succubus was no problem. In the game, she had triggered a CG just by lifting her skirt in front of a group of succubi.

“But… Master…”

The succubus was clearly afraid of Ruo Li. Luo Yuxi leaned closer, her already alluring nun’s habit becoming even more tempting. A succubus’s tail, while a weapon, was also a sensitive spot. Being teased like this, how could she resist?

“If you don’t tell, I won’t tell. After you let me go, she won’t know~”

The succubus gulped. Even though the Church was full of attractive nuns, they wouldn’t dare kidnap one. And Luo Yuxi, with her perfect figure, blessed by the Goddess, sweet appearance, and position as a nun, was practically irresistible.

“I’ll just rub a little… she won’t notice, right…?”

The succubus wrapped her tail around Luo Yuxi’s smooth leg. Even through the stockings, it felt heavenly. Just as she was about to take the next step, she felt a sharp blow to the back of her head.

“Die, filthy succubus!”

“Ah!!”

Luo Yuxi was also stunned by the sudden turn of events. She had planned to use her internet-honed grappling skills to knock out the succubus when she got close, although she admitted there was an element of gamble involved. Seeing the unconscious succubus on the ground, she was still in a daze.

“Thank you for distracting her, otherwise, my sneak attack might not have worked…”

Luo Yuxi looked up and saw a disheveled elven loli. She remembered that this was the one who had cried for help earlier. The loli grabbed a nearby sheet and wrapped it around herself, her original clothes torn to shreds by the succubi.

“Tch, filthy succubus, filthy magic, it’s all over my mouth…”

“Could you please untie me…?”

“Oh, sorry. You looked so alluring, if it weren’t for the situation, I would have given you a free service…”

The elven loli quickly untied Luo Yuxi’s hands. Luo Yuxi rubbed her reddened wrists and tied up the unconscious succubus tightly before finally relaxing.

“They plan to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen! And then frame the vampires! Please, Sister Nun, you must save Her Majesty!”

The elven loli looked at Luo Yuxi anxiously. Hearing their plan, Luo Yuxi decided not to stay any longer. This could be a key moment to change the plot. She told the loli to inform the guards while she went to find Sybil. With a powerful healing spell, the unconscious elves around them woke up.

“Tsk, even a visit to a brothel turns into this…”

…

Chapter 24: Major Crisis

After some effort, Luo Yuxi finally arrived at a shop with a pink sign. She adjusted her slightly disheveled nun’s habit, she couldn’t hide her surprise at the enthusiastic welcome from the elven girls, who had all invited her to their homes.

“Are those really elves? They seem more like succubi, inviting me to their homes to discuss the art of tofu grinding…”

Luo Yuxi regretted not buying a mask. After adjusting her clothes, she realized a rather awkward problem: she was still wearing her nun’s habit. She had controlled the protagonist to enter such establishments several times in the game, but that was for plot purposes.

“Well… this is the Elven Forest. If I just go in once, no one should know. Besides, it’s perfectly normal for a lost nun to enter a brothel~”

Luo Yuxi convinced herself. After all, she had read plenty of doujinshi and manga. Besides, entering a brothel to gather information was a necessary sacrifice for the greater good. The Goddess wouldn’t mind.

“Hehe~ Please bring me your cutest elven loli, price is no object~”

Luo Yuxi pushed open the door, took out her coin purse, and prepared to indulge. She was already imagining a scene like in the game, with a delicate elven loli nestled in her arms, whimpering softly. However, the expected swarm of elven lolis didn’t materialize.

“Please… please save us…”

“Huh?!”

Luo Yuxi looked around the elven brothel, confused. It was filled with countless girls, all staring at her.

With a single glance at their goat-like horns, long, spade-tipped tails, and delicate demon wings, Luo Yuxi instantly understood their identity.

“Tsk… I set up the barrier, how did someone still get in?”

“Wait, look at her clothes, she’s from the Church!”

“What! The Church?! Has our plan to assassinate the Elf Queen been exposed?!”

…

Luo Yuxi scratched her head, looking at the succubi crammed into the brothel, feeling a headache coming on. Weren’t succubi supposed to be part of the dark faction? Although they were also Mythical Species, they belonged to the demon race, which had a hostile relationship with the elves.

“Ahem… I seem to be lost. You all look busy, I won’t disturb you, I’ll just be going…”

Luo Yuxi slowly backed towards the door, intending to slip away. However, a sudden gust of wind slammed the door shut. She turned awkwardly and saw the succubi parting to create a path.

A succubus with long, crimson hair walked out. Unlike the other scantily clad succubi, her blood-red eyes seemed to see through everything. A long robe covered her entire body, not even her arms were exposed.

“It seems the usually neutral Church has decided to help the elves this time…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the red-haired succubus, feeling a headache. She had just encountered a future witch candidate this morning, and now, just wanting to have some fun at a brothel, she had run into a real witch. And not just any witch.

Looking at the succubus’s handsome face, so different from the other seductive succubi, her crimson hair tied back in a ponytail, her blood-red eyes captivating, her body wrapped in a white coat, if it weren’t for the goat-like horns, she wouldn’t have been recognizable as a succubus.

“Why did I run into her here?! If I had to rank the witches I least want to meet, she’d be in the top five…”

Not only was she a succubus, she was also a notorious newbie killer in the game. Players often encountered her in the early stages, before the protagonist was strong enough. The most unusual succubus, one of the Seven Deadly Sins Witches, the Lust Witch, Ruo Li, with her high level and powerful magic, would crush and slaughter unsuspecting players.

“Now that you know our secret, do you think you can leave…?”

Ruo Li slowly extended her hand, a terrifying energy gathering in her palm. Luo Yuxi cowered by the door. Just as Ruo Li was about to silence her, another succubus stopped her.

“Master, using such powerful magic within the barrier will expose us. And if someone from the Church dies here…”

Luo Yuxi didn’t know why Ruo Li had stopped, but it was clear she didn’t dare kill her. Luo Yuxi instantly realized it must be because of the Church backing her. Having some power and background was indeed useful.

“But our plan cannot be exposed. In that case, incapacitate her…”

“Don’t worry, Master~ We’re succubi. We’ll drain her dry. She won’t be able to get out of bed for three to five days~”

Ruo Li frowned at her companion’s eager expression but didn’t say anything. After all, she was the unusual one among succubi.

Luo Yuxi noticed the elven lolis lying on the floor, their clothes disheveled and unconscious. Even the one who had cried for help earlier… after being discovered awake, she was “attended to” by three or four thick, spade-tipped tails.

“Don’t come any closer!”

“Looking at you like this, you’re quite my type~ These elves are too small and tight, their tails can’t even fully relax, they can’t satisfy me~”

Luo Yuxi backed away nervously, trying to open the door, but the lock was sealed by a barrier. Looking at the succubus approaching, licking her lips, Luo Yuxi knew that in the game, she would have surrendered and watched the bad ending CG. But now, with herself as the target, she couldn’t give up so easily.

“I’d rather die than let you have your way!!”

Luo Yuxi pulled out a dagger. Learning from her past experience, she had already cast a resurrection spell on herself. As long as she died and there were no other life signs nearby, she would automatically resurrect.

“I’ll fake my death, maybe I can survive…”

Without hesitation, she stabbed the dagger towards her heart. However, the dagger stopped just millimeters away from her chest. She looked up in confusion and saw Ruo Li, who had been several meters away, now standing right in front of her, holding her hand.

“I just wanted to incapacitate you, and you’re willing to die for your chastity…”

“Heh, I don’t care about chastity, but I won’t let someone I don’t like…”

…
