Chapter 732 of "Demi-human Girls Completion Manual" starts the action: After applying the medicine to Valentina, Fisher didnât rush to leave, realizing that there were... Find out what happens!
After applying the medicine to Valentina, Fisher didnât rush to leave, realizing that there were still two injured parties present. He decided to wait for another night until Philisâs condition stabilized before departing. That night, Valentina lay beside Fisher, chewing on roasted meat while daydreaming. It was only when Fisher asked that she told him she was thinking about what the legendary Phoenix really looked like.It was no wonder, in the myths of the North Realm people, the Frost Phoenix didnât have a human form. She was a benevolent god with the appearance of a divine beast, named "Nephilim" even among the demi-humans closely related to the Phoenix Species, Fisher had found no evidence of the Phoenixâs form, as they all referred to it as the "Wutong Tree."
"Thatâs right, I reminded you a long time ago not to compare the status of ordinary demi-humans with the Phoenix Species of the Northern Realm. Throughout history, they held a high status in the hearts of the living creatures of the Northern Realm, even the most skilled painters of the North Realm were afraid that their brushstrokes would tarnish the noble Phoenix, so they never dared depict their esteemed forms..."
That night, Emhardt, who was lying in Fisherâs arms, sat up upon hearing Valentinaâs query and said,
"At the root of it, the Phoenix Species are just high-ranked demi-humans living deep in Snow Mountain, not even Mythical Species, unlike the Dragon-man Species, which have been involved in the history of the South Continent and remembered. They merely left Wutong once and then returned. Why are they remembered along with all the other races of the Six Clans to this day?"
Valentina listened to Emhardtâs words intently without interrupting with all the unfamiliar terms he used. Philis had already fallen asleep,
"Itâs because the power of the Mythical Species is unimaginably immense. For the Northern Realm, where Life Ranks are generally low, the invasion by the Chaos Species was utterly despairing. The fact that non-Mythical Phoenixes could repel the Chaos Species was a miracle. When everything in the Northern Realm was withering in despair, it was the Phoenixes who gave them the dawn of survival. Such a favor is unforgettable for generations, and thus their nobility is engraved in their bloodline passed down generation after generation..."
"But sometimes you deify them too much, and thatâs why since they disappeared, we donât even know what they look like anymore. The books I read about them are either recorded by the very powerful who donât care to record details, the lower status who dare not record, or simply by those who do not know. Thus, the image of the Phoenix Species has gradually blurred... But arenât you going to the Wutong Tree? Thatâs the homeland of the Phoenixes, surely there are some clues there. Maybe you can even see a living Phoenix. Iâm quite curious myself."
Valentina asked several dazed questions about the Mythical and Chaos Species, but Emhardt, too lazy to respond, lay back down in Fisherâs arms leaving Fisher to answer her queries.
However, until they put out the fire to sleep, Valentina was still unsure what the legendary Phoenix really looked like. If she also had Phoenix blood, would she transform similarly... Oh, would she have wings? Would she grow feathers? Then she would be no different from the Snow Fox Species. Please, please donât let feathers grow on my face. That would be too ugly, Fisher definitely wonât like it!
Valentina lay quietly in bed, her mind spinning since the afternoon when she heard Fisher say she was still developing like a Phoenix Species, imagining herself as a feathered chicken. The night passed just like that.
The next morning, Fisher rose early to check the weather and Philisâs condition. As he had anticipated, the recovery ability of the Lion-man Species was indeed not to be underestimated. Combined with Fisherâs Healing Magic, she had overcome the danger overnight. Although she still couldnât move arbitrarily, at least it was certain she wouldnât remain forever in Sema Snow Mountain.
So, now that Philisâs condition was confirmed, Fisher decided to proceed as planned, carrying Valentina toward the next leg of their journey to Sema Snow Mountain.
"Put your clothes on tightly; weâre leaving soon."
"Okay... I donât know if itâs just my imagination, but recently I feel like itâs not as cold."
As he carried Valentina on his back, Fisher paused slightly in his movement. He suddenly thought of the patch of down emitting cold air he saw on her back yesterday and laughed jokingly, É´á´á´Ą É´á´á´ á´Ę á´Ęá´á´á´á´Ęs á´Ęá´ á´á´ĘĘÉŞsĘá´á´ á´É´ ????????????????????â????????????????â????????????
"Maybe youâre becoming a Phoenix covered in feathers, thatâs why you donât feel cold at all."
Valentina, who felt her inner thoughts were being poked, glared at Fisher and mischievously tried to touch his neck with her icy cold hands. But the trick had no effect on Fisher, and instead, her own hands quickly warmed up.
She had forgotten, this guy was the strange one who could wear just a white shirt on a cold Northern Realm evening.
"Boss, take care, Iâll be waiting for your good news at the mountain base, striving for a... oh, not that, reaching the Wutong Tree soon."
"Phew..."
Philis yawned lazily, sweeping the ground with her tail, while also handing over a mini dagger given by the Snow Fox Species to Valentina for self-defense. This joke made Valentina almost want to retort sarcastically, but seeing Philisâs abdomen bandages dry, she didnât speak out but instead worriedly advised,
