Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Rosaline’s Last Memory Fragment

[Soul Necklace (Epic): A necklace that can house souls. Current number of souls (1)]

Su Xuan was curious when he saw the Epic-quality Soul Necklace Natasha wore. But what shocked him even more was that a soul was actually housed within it.

’Whose soul?’

Just as Su Xuan was intently observing the Soul Necklace on Natasha’s snow-white neck, she asked softly, a hint of shyness in her voice, "Mr. Su Xuan, are you very interested in my necklace? Or perhaps..."

Su Xuan immediately averted his gaze and asked, "Does this necklace have some special meaning to you?"

"Mm-hm~"

Natasha nodded gently and explained to Su Xuan, "This necklace is a treasure passed down through my family for generations. It plays a key supportive role when using the Soul Secret Technique."

"Besides its supportive role in casting the Soul Secret Technique, does it have any other uses? For example, could there be a soul hidden inside?" Su Xuan asked in a low voice.

"A soul hidden inside..."

Hearing this question, a flicker of fear crossed Natasha’s eyes. In a delicate voice, she said, "Mr. Su Xuan, please don’t scare me!"

"It’s just a guess. If you’re really worried, I can help you check it once this is over," Su Xuan said with a reassuring smile.

"Oh, that would be wonderful~" Natasha patted her chest lightly, sighing in relief. "After I finish the Soul Secret Technique, I’ll have to trouble Mr. Su Xuan to help me check it."

After their conversation, Natasha took the Sapphire Necklace from her neck and handed it to Su Xuan.

She continued, "Mr. Su Xuan, please hold this necklace. Rosaline is now a member of your Guild, so it might be more suitable for you to act as the medium."

"Alright." Su Xuan nodded and took hold of the necklace.

Natasha then gently cupped her hands around Su Xuan’s, her palms soft and warm, bringing a sense of peace and comfort.

"Well~ I’ll begin~"

Natasha closed her eyes and began to chant softly.

A blue halo of Magic light bloomed in her palms. The faint glow gradually intensified, as if it would illuminate the entire room.

At first, only the blue light flickered in the room, but after a few minutes, Su Xuan was surprised to see countless soul phantoms begin to appear around them.

They wove together, drifting around the Soul Necklace, seemingly waiting for the right moment.

Furthermore, Su Xuan noticed that these summoned soul phantoms all appeared to be female. This was likely because Natasha had consciously filtered the gender of the soul remnants during the summoning process.

Just then, one of the soul remnants reached out a finger, trying to get closer to Natasha, but it was blocked by an invisible barrier of blue Magic Power surrounding her, unable to approach.

"No, it’s not you either..."

Natasha opened her eyes slightly, a faint blue light flickering in her reddish-brown irises. She continuously scanned the summoned souls, searching for Rosaline’s Memory Fragment. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

In just a few short minutes, the room was filled with countless soul phantoms.

However, at that moment, a unique soul suddenly appeared in the room.

With a mere lift of her finger, she blew away all the other soul phantoms.

’This is...’

Su Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly. This summoned soul was clearly and unusually powerful.

"M-Mr. Su Xuan, I think I’ve summoned something incredible."

Natasha’s beautiful eyes narrowed, revealing deep concern.

She had never expected to summon such a powerful soul. After all, there shouldn’t be such a strong entity near Sunset City. Moreover, this soul seemed somewhat unique...

"Hold on, I’ll take care of her."

"Alice, get over here and help."

Su Xuan immediately called for Alice through their soul connection; he urgently needed her help.

Alice’s Soul Cutter had a significant restraining effect on soul-based entities, making it perfect for dealing with Undead individuals that existed only in soul form.

"Master, I’m here!"

Alice immediately responded to Su Xuan’s summons.

And then!

A pair of pitch-black scissors suddenly materialized in the room and attacked that soul remnant.

SNIP! SNIP! SNIP!

"Ahh!"

With a wretched scream, the soul remnant was cut to pieces by Alice’s Big Scissors and fled in a panic.

"All done~ Master, you can get back to what you were doing~"

’It’s over already?’

Su Xuan was slightly surprised as he watched. ’Alice can control her Soul Weapon from a distance?’

’That’s way too convenient...’

"It’s alright now, Natasha."

Su Xuan turned to Natasha, telling her the summoned soul had been driven away.

But just then, he discovered Natasha staring at him with teary eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed, giving off an alluring aura.

"Natasha?"

Su Xuan was puzzled. ’Did the failure of the Soul Secret Technique cause this?’

"Mr. Su Xuan, I’m fine. It’s just that the soul just now reminded me of some things." Natasha wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, her voice a little low. "Let’s continue. We absolutely must find Rosaline’s soul fragment today."

As she spoke, she once again activated the Soul Secret Technique, searching for Rosaline’s final Memory Fragment.

After the Soul Secret Technique restarted, the number of souls appearing in the room decreased significantly. Without the interference of that powerful soul, the process went much more smoothly.

However, due to the prolonged consumption of Magic, Natasha’s body began to grow weak. She stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Seeing this, Su Xuan immediately caught and supported her from behind with one arm.

"Thank you," Natasha whispered, then continued to cast the Soul Secret Technique.

As he held her, he could clearly feel Natasha’s soft body. Her skin was even softer and more supple than a young girl’s, as if she were made of water.

Crucially, Natasha would always sway her body gently while chanting the Magic. These subtle movements brought her body into close contact with Su Xuan’s. Her rear gently brushed against him, sending an exquisite sensation through him...

Ahem~

Suddenly, Natasha’s gentle voice sounded out, "Mr. Su Xuan, what do you think happens to a person if they’re missing part of their soul?"

"Missing part of their soul?" Su Xuan pondered for a moment before replying, "They might become like Rosaline is now—a little dorky."

"Yes~"

Hearing Su Xuan’s answer, Natasha smiled faintly and said softly, "Someone missing part of their soul becomes foolish. No wonder Rosaline was always worried I’d be tricked by bad people..."

"..."

Su Xuan remained silent. Ever since he had seen that the soul inside the White Rose Flower looked identical to Natasha, he knew her identity was anything but simple.

Although he hadn’t yet confirmed the connection between them, the theory that she was a wisp of a soul from the White Rose Flower had always been one of the most likely possibilities.

Just as Su Xuan was lost in thought, Natasha slowly turned around, her clear eyes shimmering with a soft light.

"Mr. Su Xuan~ Look~"

She raised her hand slightly. A wisp of a Soul Fragment was coalescing in her palm.

Natasha had succeeded!

An indescribable joy welled up in Su Xuan’s heart. Rosaline’s final puzzle piece!

It was finally here!
