Chapter 665 - 106. The Mystery of Derivative Species (Two in One)
In Chapter 665 of "Demi-human Girls Completion Manual": "Fisher! If you joke around again, Iâm going to get really angry!""Sorry, sorry, just a... Discover the next events!
"Fisher! If you joke around again, Iâm going to get really angry!""Sorry, sorry, just a little puzzled, are you afraid of Heidlin? Because she acts like a parent disciplining you?"
Valentinaâs annoyed expression paused slightly after hearing Fisherâs words. Then she shook her head and pouted in response,
"...Itâs not that Iâm afraid of Heidlin. After all, she is my servant, how could I possibly be afraid of her? In fact, her words donât really bind me, and if I really wanted to do something, she couldnât stop me. But, I can feel that she truly has my best interests at heart, she wants me to live longer, and I donât want to let her down, to disappoint her."
"The point is, no matter how hard I try, I canât live for long. Heidlin and I have both tried our best to extend my life. Once the Snow Fox people come over, I guess weâll get busy, and probably wonât have the time to sneak out and buy these things, so I just wanted to try them and asked for your help."
"Hey, considering the awful thing you just did to me, getting off cheap with doing this simple task for me... will you do it or not?"
In reality, Valentina asking Fisher for a little favor was merely giving Fisher an excuse to make a concession. Although he offered to let Valentina make a request, she wasnât truly asking him to do anything special. Valentina might indeed want to try cold water sugar or wine, but for someone whoâd never had it before, trying was really neither here nor there.
Fisher understood Valentinaâs half-hearted interest, and even though she still wore an adorable face that said, "If you donât agree, Iâll get angry right here," he nodded and agreed,
"Of course, no problem, itâs just a small favor... But donât be so pessimistic, I have a feeling that your life wonât end so easily, and you have a long way to go."
Valentina was slightly taken aback, but she didnât feel inspired. Her gaze fell slightly, but only for a second as she quickly discarded the dejected look and her expression lively turned to disgust, looking at Fisher and speaking,
"You, you arenât about to say something disgusting like âbeautiful women have long lives,â are you?"
"...How did you know?"
"Disgusting! Pervert!"
Despite the playful banter, Fisher hadnât lied. According to the scene Fisher saw in his dream, the strange curse of the Frost Snow Wutong Tree was apparently searching for the last Phoenix, and the origin of the curse must be related to a disaster within the Wutong Tree that caused the extinction of all Phoenixes.
What was critical was that before the Phoenix Species vanished completely, the Moon Princess, who was one of the Phoenixâs children, issued two commands from outside the Wutong Tree.
First, she ordered a loyal Human to take the scroll marking the location of the Frost Snow Wutong Tree overseas, far away from the Northern Realm, which was also the first place Fisher met Valentina. Second, she ordered the Trolls, one of the Six Clans, to strictly guard the Wutong Tree. Although the Slime King said they forbid any creature from entering, Fisher spotted a hint of something.
The Slime King likely found evidence related to the Phoenix on himself; otherwise, the calculating Slime Species wouldnât rashly pass the Seal of loyalty to him, nor express such extraordinary trust in the Turand Family behind him.
Therefore, Fisher was convinced that the Trolls guarding the Wutong Tree werenât there to prevent everyone from entering but were supposed to allow only a Phoenix to enter. The Moon Princessâs actions seemed to be to allow someone to enter the Frost Snow Wutong Tree after a thousand years, which is crucial to solving the curse within the tree.
If it were any other race, Fisher might not dare to speculate, but the Phoenix Species was different; they could see the future and make corresponding preparations based on that future. This was their secret to defeating the Chaos Species. The Moon Princess must have seen the future inside the Wutong Tree, which prompted her to issue those two enigmatic commands a thousand years ago...
And after a thousand years, Valentina, who possessed similar abilities, already followed the path set by the Moon Princess to the foot of Sema Snow Mountain. Doesnât this indicate in some way that she is the person the Moon Princess had been waiting for a thousand years?
The Turand Familyâs hereditary disease and the curse within the Wutong Tree should be related. It would be absurd for a Mixed-Blood to carry such an outrageous hereditary disease. If Valentina could successfully resolve the curse, then the thousand-year shadow looming over the Turand Family would dissipate, and of course, she wouldnât die.
Fisherâs thoughts paused for a moment. He didnât know if his guesses were correct, but after carefully piecing together the clues left by the Moon Princess, he felt this was the only possibility.
But it also meant tremendous risk, and he clearly remembered from the dreams provided by the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual, the low murmur of the unseen presence on the throne...
It too was searching for "the last Phoenix."
After agreeing to Valentinaâs little request, he didnât rush out to make the purchase since the Snow Fox people were still several days away from arriving.
Leaving the room downstairs, Fisher hastened to the upstairs room without a pause. The research on the Slime and Ice Owl Species was almost ready to conclude, with the biological progress of the Ice Owls promising and the Slime Species not far behind; he needed to start preparing for what was to come.
