Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 988 - 55: Phoenix Feather

"Why is the Royal Capital requesting our Clan Leader to go to the Royal Capital?"

"We don’t know either. It’s a direct order from Master Tao and Your Majesty. Moreover, it’s not just the Phoenix Clan Leader; they want all Fourteenth Rank individuals to go. I heard the Dukes are all heading to the Royal Capital now. The situation seems fishy, like it’s related to that earthquake?"

The aftershocks of the earthquake had not yet dissipated, and Mikhail, who had fainted from using his prosthetic, showed no signs of waking up. Yet, the matter needed resolution, which meant returning to the cause—the purpose of the Royal Capital Envoys coming here: to invite the Fourteenth Rank individuals to the Royal Capital.

Inside the palace at the Phoenix Species stronghold, Fisher and his group returned to the meeting place. This time, Fisher’s side included a conscious Hooked Kiss.

It’s noteworthy about that Helair fellow; she didn’t reveal she was an Angel and instead disguised herself as a regular Human, standing beside Fisher.

The method was to remove the Light Halo from her head and hide it. Then, her wings slowly retracted into her body as if they had lost power, making Fisher’s eyelids twitch. Somehow, she also used a method to change her appearance and completely suppressed her rank’s aura, reducing to around a Thirteen Rank like Fisher. Even the Phoenixes at first didn’t recognize her as the Angel from the Holy Descendants.

"Helair Angel, your Light Halo can actually be removed? Where did you hide it now? Is it invisible?"

Hooked Kiss and Fisher listened intently to the dialogue between the Phoenix Clan Leader and the Royal Capital Envoy of the Qilin Species. After being beaten and stripped, the envoy finally behaved, allowing for proper communication. Meanwhile, Mikhail was still twitching, and although Helair believed her disguise was flawless, Fisher, for safety’s sake, had her and Tangze Asuka hide at the back.

Tangze Asuka curiously stared at the empty space above Helair’s head where the Light Halo used to be and asked this.

"..."

At these words, Helair turned her head to look at her but remained silent. However, the slightly bulging chest under her white robe grew brighter. Yet before it fully lit up, Tangze Asuka covered her face with black lines, muttering softly,

"Enough, enough, I already know where you hid it... No wonder, you used to be flat, and now... A chest made from a Light Halo, I really have no words..."

Unbothered, Helair lightly slapped her chest to extinguish the light, then nodded her chin and explained,

"I mentioned before, the Light Halo on an Angel’s head is essentially part of our body. And I happen to be the most versatile among Angels. Since I can’t forge, I must have other specialties, right? Just like you, Tangze, you’re not skilled in other disciplines but have an unexpected talent for Magic."

"That’s true..."

After the Royal Envoy explained, Necolia, who originally had a cold face, looked even colder. Clutching the spear by her side, she spoke,

"My father is nearly five thousand years old this year and his energy is not what it used to be. In recent years, he’s been plagued by illness, and even Wutong agreed to let him retire. Does Your Majesty think he can just order him to the Royal Capital?"

The Phoenix Species might be the least respectful on the Tree Continent, something the Royal Capital Envoys had heard about before coming here.

Normally, that notoriously arrogant Qilin Species might argue with Necolia, but now that the clothes on his back were given by them, and his slaves confiscated, he just wanted to wrap things up and leave.

Yet, he was still a Royal Capital Envoy, so he feigned difficulty and said,

"This isn’t something we can decide. In Wutong Country, of the Fourteenth Rank, only the Phoenix Species has them. We’ve already reported Phoenix Princess Necolia and the Phoenix Clan Leader’s names. It’s not like we are..."

"I’m also Fourteenth Rank. Shall I replace the Phoenix Clan Leader?"

At this moment, Hooked Kiss raised her hand, unable to endure Fisher’s nudges. The envoy nearly lost his temper, turning to scold,

"Why are you shouting outside if you want to go? And why are you picking a fight with me? Are you insane?!"

"...I’ve got a condition. Can I bring my companions to the Royal Capital with me? Don’t worry, it won’t trouble you. I once treated Your Majesty before. You just have to lead us there, and we’ll handle the rest."

"..."

The Qilin Species looked at Hooked Kiss, then at Fisher, whose rank was about the same as his, hesitated for a moment, then said,

"Alright, as long as two from the Phoenix Species go, it’s fine. Once you’ve decided who goes, ask the Black Snake to take you... We have other countries’ Fourteenth Ranks to notify, so we’ll take our leave."

With that, he left without delay, casually pointing to an innocent black snake beside him before turning to leave. The black snake, afraid to stay any longer, agreed to wait outside the Phoenix Species precinct.

The Phoenix Clan Leader, seated at the head table, glanced unnoticed at the curtain behind him. Only after the curtain slightly swayed did he turn his gaze to Hooked Kiss and Fisher, and to Helair, who was idly making nonsensical gestures behind them,
