Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 990 - 55: Phoenix Feather (Part 3)

And behind her, Tangze Asuka heard the news that Fisher was already married, and she froze in place, subconsciously feeling a bit lost, but not knowing exactly what she was losing.

But it’s true that with his looks, plus his role as a professor and Magic Teacher, he would be sought after in any world, so it’s quite normal for him to be married...

"Is Little Tangze going to be disappointed because Fisher is already married?"

Although her face showed no extra expressions, beside her, Helair’s gentle voice suddenly rang out, startling her and causing her to take a step back and wave her hands.

"No, no, no, no, absolutely not!"

"Is that so... I was preparing to tell you something about Fisher’s previous wife?"

"Eh? Previous wife? Did Fisher, as your teacher, tell you about this?"

Tangze Asuka was a bit stunned. While a sense of sympathy for Fisher’s "unfortunate" love arose, she also unethically felt a bit relieved. Although she rationally despised this small thought, there was no one else who would know, right?

"Ah, so Little Tangze wants to know?"

"Not really... I’m just a bit... curious."

"It’s okay, I understand. I also can’t keep secrets, as long as you don’t tell Fisher that I told you, it’ll be fine. Just keep your lips sealed. The thing is, his abilities are very strong, then his wife couldn’t handle it, often finding difficulties making up reasons to refuse him. So over time, it sparked a crisis in their relationship..."

"Ah?"

Helair’s smile became increasingly obvious, delivering an epic love story without any preparation, while far away Fisher remained unaware that the "Hooked kiss" and the "Hell duet" orchestrated by Helair were unfolding behind him.

In the grand hall, the gazes of many other Phoenixes were fixed on him. The whispers started, even Necolia’s expression changed, but shifted in a positive direction. Her slightly colder demeanor warmed a little, becoming friendlier.

"Sorry, I indeed was married to a Phoenix Species before, but we reluctantly parted ways, and I didn’t understand the Phoenix traditions earlier, so I didn’t bring it up."

Originally, Fisher was quite worried that this group of Phoenixes would ask who it was he married. After all, he couldn’t disclose a name from millennia into the future, nor reveal he came from the future, as that would be rather inconvenient.

But unexpectedly, this group of Phoenixes seemed very understanding, and the Phoenix King even sighed, saying,

"Ever since our former Clan Leader was harmed by Wutong’s two masters, our Phoenix Clan has fallen to this day, with many clan members forced to separate and survive in groups. Every time I think of those lone Phoenixes, my wife is often filled with worry, fearing they have no home. Today, to see an external Phoenix’s husband gives us hope. Dare I ask, is your wife doing well?"

"...She’s doing well."

She’s still asleep in the Wutong tree within the Northern Realm. Who knows when she’ll wake up, but overall, she’s quite fine.

"That’s good, that’s good..." The Phoenix Clan Chief wiped his face, then continued, "Phoenix Species always value their bloodlines and family. Since you married one of our clan members, you are indeed one of us. Take this Phoenix Feather; its effect is..."

Then, the Phoenix Clan Chief carefully explained the usage of the Phoenix Feather to Fisher. Besides the attributes mentioned by Hooked kiss, the Phoenix Feather can also heal but can’t be used too many times; it disappears completely after three uses. With many future matters, Fisher had no reason to refuse and accepted it honestly.

While listening to the Phoenix Clan Chief, Fisher did not stay idle, for he needed to swiftly approach the Fourteenth Rank and advance into the Mythical Species. Thus, he silently bound himself to the Necolia standing beside him.

[Binding successful!]

[Necolia, adult female Phoenix Species]

"Then, this trip to the Royal Capital will be accompanied by Necolia. Necolia, you must assist Uncle Chun’s friend sincerely... Moreover, Mr. Fisher is one of our Phoenix Species clan members."

"Yes, father."

Behind the Phoenix Clan Chief, the curtain remained utterly still, and he stroked his chin, sighing and repeatedly instructing,

"The current Tree Continent is filled with ominous winds and cries of cranes. Royal Capital, Your Majesty... Even the World Tree may have undergone severe changes. You all must be extremely careful during your journey. Most Dukes exist at the Eighteenth and Nineteen Ranks, and an incident would leave no room for maneuver. I hope you return safely."

Fisher was well aware that there might be something amiss on the Tree Continent, but the possibilities were too numerous and difficult to guess.

The Elf King’s life span is nearing its end, barriers between Elf Kingdoms, the Royal Capital summon all Fourteenth Rank individuals, the chaos of the Death rules, and being secretly manipulated by someone from the shadows...

He committed all these thoughts to memory, as the Phoenix Species inside the grand hall dispersed, some continuing to clean the mess caused by the earthquake, while others helped prepare the journey to the Royal Capital. Only Necolia and Little Nephilim stayed behind to accompany them.

"Sister, you must be careful. I will wait for you to return here! Those elves are too outrageous. Sister, just wait, if one day I become the Phoenix Clan Chief, I’ll definitely lead the entire clan to escape the Tree Continent!"

Little Nephilim lay in her sister’s arms, sobbing, seemingly quite unhappy with the elves ruling the Tree Continent, her cute voice sounding like fanciful illusions. Her sister Necolia also couldn’t resist laughing at her adorable appearance, pinching her nose and comforting her,

"Rest assured, sister is very strong."

Fisher smiled softly, watching them cuddle, then turned to see his companions’ expressions weren’t quite right.

Hooked kiss’s face had become stony and expressionless, staring at Fisher’s lower body. Tangze Asuka pursed her lips, her gaze drawn to his lower body as if fearing spotting some fearsome monster. Helair, on the other hand, seemed relatively normal, though Fisher felt her expression seemed somehow more "innocent" and "naughty" than usual?

Fisher couldn’t comprehend how these adjectives appeared on her beautiful face, but that was indeed his feeling.

"What’s wrong with you all?"

Feeling the odd atmosphere, he couldn’t help but ask.

"Nothing, let’s prepare to depart."

"Nothing, nothing, nothing!"

"Oh hey."

The varied reactions from the three deepened Fisher’s suspicion, convinced Helair was up to her mischief again, all for her so-called fun.

However, he didn’t dwell on it for too long and went along with Hooked kiss’s suggestion, preparing to set off with the still asleep Mikhail.

They didn’t know what he meant by "cyberpsychosis", nor when he might wake, but to save time, they could only take the lifelessly lying Mikhail along, with Fisher carrying him.

"Michael..."

As soon as Fisher picked him up, he immediately heard Mikhail mumbling, and upon moving closer to discern it clearly, his expression turned even stranger.

Regardless, they needed to keep moving forward.
