CHAPTER 612: CHAPTER 166: CURSE BLADE, FALLING IN LOVE (DAILY GOAL FOR MONTHLY VOTES)

Surrounded by enemies, the sudden stab in the back left Xu Shu completely stunned.

He had been betrayed by Lan Xin before.

The first time was when they were pioneering in the wilderness, and she had betrayed him.

Back then, she was branded as a "slave" by the Alien Species Earl, and although betrayal was a capital offense, there was at least a reason for it: she did it for survival. So she betrayed him, using the nun’s "Curse Blade" to almost stab Rudius of the Dawn Church to death.

But why stab me now?

I came to rescue you for the second time!

We were about to escape!

Is Lan Xin, true to her name, a thankless wretch with no sense of loyalty?

Or has she become a vessel now, and what stands before me is not Lan Xin but a monster wearing her skin, that Qiansui?

Then why didn’t Yu Mingluan see it coming?

Xu Shu truly couldn’t figure it out.

If he couldn’t figure it out, he might as well not think about it.

He had to admit defeat, tripped up by his own sense of "righteousness."

But you ungrateful wretch, you will die!

Anger seethed in Xu Shu’s eyes, but he wasn’t too afraid.

Others might die from an attack like the Curse Blade, which could suck away one’s life force, but it wasn’t very effective against him.

He possessed the forbidden Divine-level title "Sit-ups"!

You think a mere Curse Blade could kill me?

What a joke!

What level are you, and can your bit of curse power compete with the damage from containing a Legendary Curse Seal?

The only problem was, with this turn of events, it would be much harder to dodge the upcoming pursuit.

This Lan Xin, really trouble, truly detestable.

Let’s go, traitor!

Xu Shu’s hand rose high, ready to slap the traitor dead.

"Sir? What are you doing? I love you, I really do! Waaah, sir, I love you so much~"

Lan Xin was startled, realizing Xu Shu was going to kill her, and she began to cry.

Her tears fell loudly, like broken pearls dropping one after the other.

But as she cried, she continued to stab Xu Shu’s waist with the curse dagger, inserting and withdrawing it from his spine, causing waves of intense pain.

Xu Shu grimaced in pain, yet his expression became solemn.

Instead of feeling life ebbing away, he felt strength quickly filling his body, a warm surge of power inside him.

This was...

"What is this?" Xu Shu looked at Lan Xin.

"Eh? Sir, don’t you know... I’m helping you. Lan Xin doesn’t want to run away by herself, sir saved me, I belong to sir entirely, my whole person, my whole heart. Lan Xin wants to fight alongside you!"

Lan Xin sobbed as she continued to stab Xu Shu’s waist with the knife, picking up speed.

Her tears flowed down along the dagger, winding their way in, like IV tubes, all pouring into Xu Shu’s body.

"Hisss, what are you doing? Wait, slow down! Slow down~"

As Lan Xin’s tears, like saline solution, infused his body,

an indescribable, inexplicable sense of relief spread from his spine to his brain.

Xu Shu gasped, almost trembling.

Had he not been in the state of "Jingwei Filling the Sea," he might have made a fool of himself right then and there.

And with this intense pleasure came a strong sense of power.

Xu Shu felt as if he now had inexhaustible strength, as if there was an engine inside him, producing heat with a thumping sound.

This feeling was familiar.

That’s right!

The support Wuxin provided from behind in the underground illusion of Tailed Ksitigarbha was very similar to this!

Xu Shu felt his strength rapidly increasing, soaring, surging!

"That’s about enough, my task is done, sir, ha~~" Lan Xin left the mottled and cloudy dagger in Xu Shu, not pulling it out anymore, yawning continuously, her eyelids fighting each other as if she was about to fall asleep.

Bearing the urge to shiver, Xu Shu asked, "Hisss, this Fallen Nun’s skill? A healing ability?"

"Ah oh~ yes, it seems, sir, you’re very pure, haven’t been with other nuns... you really don’t know heehee..."

Lan Xin yawned heartily, patting her bouncy and smooth chest, her face showing a delighted expression.

"Sir, this is a talent I realized after my breakthrough, it’s called [Fallen into Love], which can transfer all of myself and enhance the other person, to achieve the ultimate blessing effect!

"In our Nun World, this ability has a poetic name, called ’Love Like the Tide,’ let me sing it for you, cough cough."

Her eyelids fought, she explained at a very fast pace, cleared her throat, and hummed:

"Love until it hurts~"

"Hurt until it cries~"

"Cry until it tires~" (Note 1)

"Hoo hoo..."

She fell asleep, her form becoming fainter and fainter, eventually thinning to transparency, the whole person following the dagger into Xu Shu.

Click!

The dagger likewise became transparent, and burrowed into Xu Shu’s spine, the wound closed, leaving behind a small transparent mark.

"..."

Xu Shu was dumbfounded.

Could this ability be any stranger?

He had never seen anything like it before!

He could now feel an "additional person" on his back, which was Lan Xin.

Though clearly alive, she attached to him in a way that was utterly indescribable.

To end this "Fallen into Love" state, there were three ways.

One way was to get killed, which was most common, because whenever a Fallen Nun used "Fallen into Love," it was usually at a critical moment of life and death.

The second way was for Lan Xin to awaken, as she could end the possession by herself.
