Chapter 387: Chapter 273: Leather Clothes and a Whip! Pets Should Wear Collars
"A princess dress?"
After hearing Ivsha’s suggestion, Su Xuan’s gaze shifted to Kanlutia, who was standing to the side.
Kanlutia had long, brilliant golden hair and a pair of bright red eyes. Her disposition was indeed a perfect match for a princess dress.
The only downside was...
Kanlutia didn’t seem to be buying Ivsha’s proposal.
"Hmph."
She snorted coldly, crossing her arms over her chest to express her displeasure.
"Princess dresses are pretty, but they’re not suitable for combat."
After weighing the options, Su Xuan vetoed Ivsha’s proposal.
He mulled it over for a moment, then slowly said, "How about... a leather suit instead?"
A specially made combat-style leather suit would be stretchable, able to adapt to various body types while maintaining a degree of stealth. Moreover, it would easily handle the transformation between a loli’s and a mature woman’s physique.
The only thing to be mindful of was the color.
’If it’s for a True Vampire Ancestor... then pink is the way to go~’
"A leather suit?"
When Lucia heard Su Xuan’s suggestion, her reaction seemed stronger than anyone else’s. She frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and doubt.
"Yeah, is there a problem?" Su Xuan asked her.
Lucia was silent for a moment before replying, "It’s nothing. I just think your taste is getting more and more... unique."
Her words carried a hint of mockery as she shot Su Xuan a cold glance.
’A leather whip to go with a leather suit...’
’Sigh~’
’This man is a lost cause~’
"?"
Although Lucia’s words bothered Su Xuan a little, the main priority right now was to pick a suitable outfit for Kanlutia.
He bought a white, form-fitting leather bodysuit from the shop. He chose white because there was no pink.
Then, he bought a cherry-red robe that could cover Kanlutia’s unremarkable figure.
When Su Xuan had Kanlutia change into this carefully selected outfit, he nodded in satisfaction.
However, Kanlutia’s reaction was not what Su Xuan expected.
With her hands on her hips, she stared wide-eyed at Su Xuan, her face full of confusion and complaint. "This is the outfit you picked for me?"
"Is it bad?" Su Xuan retorted.
"..."
Kanlutia was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Vulgar taste."
Su Xuan: "?"
Ivsha: "See~? A princess dress would have been better, right?"
"Oh, right. There’s also this."
Su Xuan held out a delicate red collar toward Kanlutia, intending for it to be an accessory for her new outfit.
This action unexpectedly caught the attention of Lucia, who was watching from the side. She raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze flitting between Su Xuan and Kanlutia, her expression a little unnatural.
’A collar?’
’Abnormal!’
"?"
Kanlutia took the collar from Su Xuan’s hand, a trace of confusion on her beautiful face. She said angrily, "Human, this True Ancestor is not your pet."
Su Xuan hurriedly clarified, "I never said you were my pet."
"See~"
Ivsha immediately sidled up to Kanlutia, speaking in a supportive tone, "I have a collar from Mr. Su Xuan, too~ It’s a token of his affection~"
As she spoke, she proudly pointed to the Succubus Collar on her own slender neck, her tone filled with pride.
"?"
Kanlutia was stunned speechless by Ivsha’s words, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Although she and Ivsha both belonged to the Demon Species, she didn’t know much about Succubi.
’It seems now...’
’Succubi are just as Abnormal as the rumors say!’
"I don’t want this!"
Kanlutia was about to throw the collar away, but before she could, Ivsha had already put it around her neck.
"There~"
"When did you—?"
Kanlutia froze. She hadn’t even noticed when Ivsha had snatched the collar from her hand!
"Not bad, is it?"
Su Xuan rested his chin on his hand, studying Kanlutia carefully, and nodded in satisfaction.
"It really suits her~" Ivsha chimed in.
Although Lucia, standing to the side, said nothing, she inwardly agreed that it did indeed suit Kanlutia quite well.
"..."
Kanlutia stared at her reflection in the mirror. She wore a white, form-fitting leather bodysuit covered by a cherry-red robe, with the conspicuous red collar adorning her neck...
She felt that something was strange, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
However, Kanlutia didn’t pay it too much mind. After all, they were just clothes.
As a True Vampire Ancestor, as long as it wasn’t some bizarre outfit, everything else was just a fleeting cloud to her.
What Kanlutia didn’t know, however, was that Su Xuan had also specially purchased several other styles of clothing for Kanlutis.
"Brat, don’t forget your promise to Kanlutis—one drop of blood every day!" Kanlutia reminded Su Xuan.
Su Xuan had made an agreement with Kanlutis to exchange one drop of his blood per day for the service of the True Vampire Ancestor.
Of course, this was a Guild President being responsible for his Guild’s Adventurers. (Another free Adventurer obtained!)
"Don’t worry, I keep my word," Su Xuan said with a smile.
He could satisfy even Ivsha; was feeding a single Vampire really going to be a problem?
"Then this True Ancestor will reluctantly serve you for a while. It’s the perfect chance to recover my strength before I go challenge that Mother of Demons!"
Kanlutia revealed an expectant smile, extremely eager to grow stronger from Su Xuan’s blood and then go defeat the Mother of Demons!
"You know where the Mother of Demons is?"
Su Xuan asked Kanlutia curiously.
Kanlutia had been lying in her coffin for at least several thousand years. Could she really find the Mother of Demons’ location now?
"The Mother of Demons has always been inside the Abyssal Eye. She can’t leave that place," Kanlutia explained to Su Xuan, her hands on her hips.
"The Abyssal Eye?" Su Xuan showed great curiosity about the Abyssal Eye, not quite understanding what kind of place it was.
"Brat, the Abyssal Eye is not a place you can set foot in."
Kanlutia said with a mocking smile, "There was once a Pope from the Bright Church Court who attempted to use a Secret Technique to delve into the Abyssal Eye, wanting to kill the Mother of Demons and eliminate the disaster brought by the Abyss. Guess how that turned out?"
"How?"
"That Pope was burned to a crisp by scorching flames before he even saw the Mother of Demons’ face. Not even ashes were left," Kanlutia said with a shrug.
"?"
After hearing Kanlutia’s words, Lucia felt a little confused.
The records of the Bright Church Court contained no mention of a Pope dying in the Abyss, but Kanlutia’s tone didn’t sound like she was lying...
"Are you sure it was a Pope?"
Lucia asked Kanlutia.
"Are you from the Bright Church Court?"
Kanlutia’s tone toward Lucia was filled with hostility. She could smell the aura of Light on Lucia, an aura she despised!
"Yes," Lucia nodded.
"I didn’t expect to find someone from the Bright Church Court here. You lot are really all over the Magic Continent," Kanlutia griped, then answered, "I’m not mistaken. He was the Sun Pope. That Sun Crown is still in this True Ancestor’s possession."
"The Sun Crown!"
The moment Lucia heard that name, her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
As the current Bright Pope, she naturally knew what the Sun Crown represented. It was a piece of equipment on the same Level as the Sun Staff.
And when the Sun Crown and the Sun Staff were combined, they would become a Semi-Divine Artifact!
At the same time, Lucia also realized who the Pope Kanlutia was talking about was.
Strangely, according to the records of the Bright Church Court, that Pope’s cause of death was mutual destruction with the Pride Demon King.
’So he was killed by the Mother of Demons?’ Lucia murmured to herself, sorting out her thoughts. She then asked Kanlutia, "Excuse me, can you tell me where the Sun Crown is?"
"Oh? You want the Sun Crown?" Hearing Lucia’s words, a greedy smile played on Kanlutia’s lips. She slowly raised a finger, lightly tapping her own lips. "That will cost you. For example... your blood. How about it?"
BANG!
"Ouch!"
Kanlutia’s words had barely left her mouth when Su Xuan unceremoniously slammed a fist on her head.
"Hey! Human, what are you doing!?" Kanlutia demanded angrily, clutching her aching head.
"Don’t go too far. How dare you covet Lucia’s blood." Su Xuan rapped Kanlutia on the head again and continued, "I’ll give you my blood. You just hand over the Sun Crown obediently."
"Human, stop hitting my head! You’re so rude!"
Kanlutia stomped her foot in anger, but hearing that Su Xuan was willing to trade his blood, she was naturally delighted. "However, since you’re willing to offer your blood, I won’t be stingy. I just need one liter of blood. That’s not too much to ask, is it?"
"Ten drops. Ten drops at most."
"But that’s a Pope’s crown!"
"As a member of the Guild, you should contribute to the Guild, shouldn’t you?"
"I just joined the Guild!"
"Doesn’t that make it even more important for you to show your determination? Where I’m from, newbies have to give out red envelopes when they join a group."
"? Human, are you the Vampire here?"
"? I’m not."
"Then have you ever considered becoming one of my people?"
"No."
"What a shame. You clearly have potential. You’d at least be a Count."
"..."
Su Xuan froze on the spot. But on second thought, it seemed he really did have a pile of free labor in his Guild.
Rosaline, Lucia, Alice, Mare Rhine, Viora, and now Kanlutia...
’Ahem~’
’Everyone is so enthusiastic they don’t even want a salary!’
"So... where is the crown?"
Lucia walked up to Kanlutia and asked.
"Wait a moment."
Kanlutia immediately dove into her coffin and searched carefully.
After a short while, she pulled out a Golden crown, but it was clearly missing a gem.
"Where’s the gem?"
"Ten drops of blood for the crown. I never said that included the Sun Stone embedded in it." Kanlutia gave a wicked smile. She would stop at nothing for Su Xuan’s blood!
"You’d better..."
Just as Su Xuan was about to speak, Lucia cut in, "I’ll give you another ten drops of blood!"
"Deal!"
"Huh?" Su Xuan looked at Lucia in confusion. ’That decisive?’
Just then, Lucia quietly explained to Su Xuan, "That Sun Stone is the key. It seals a wisp of pure Sun Divine Power. It might help your own Sun Divine Power undergo a qualitative change."
"I see~"
Hearing this, Su Xuan nodded thoughtfully.
"Also..."
Lucia paused for a few seconds, as if organizing her words, then continued, "I will compensate you for the blood you lose... in a way you’ll like."
Su Xuan: "?"
