"Necolia?"
Xuan Can frowned, looking at the phoenix, sizing up this female phoenix.
Hooked kiss explained to Xuan Can, roughly narrating the story of this Phoenix Species that had run away from the Tree Continent.
"You guys went to the Tree Continent?"
"Ah, that’s right... Although I went once before heading to the Holy Land, I went one more ti afterward."
"What did you go to the Tree Continent for?"
"Uh, experinting with poisons?"
Xuan Can raised an eyebrow and just as he was about to inquire further, Hooked kiss hurried over to Necolia and asked her with concern,
"Necolia, oh heavens, I’m so sorry, I forgot about you, how are you?"
Necolia couldn’t help but tremble slightly. After a brief pause, she lifted her head, her face pale yet still expressionless, and weakly said,
"I always... followed behind you... but it seems like you didn’t notice at all... I was calling you from behind earlier and you... didn’t hear... I just kept following you all the way... almost couldn’t... fly anymore..."
After speaking, she buried her face in the ground like a corpse, motionless, as if she were utterly exhausted.
Hooked kiss gave a wry smile, then said,
"Sorry, please just rest well."
"..."
Necolia didn’t respond, maintaining her previous posture.
Hooked kiss turned to his wife with a wry smile and sat down to discuss how to get the passengers above offboard.
Even though this Human hasn’t woken up, her companion doesn’t seem to care where they’re being sent, so it might be best to drop them off at the edge of Dragon Heart Continent.
"After we drop them off, we’ll head ho?"
"Ah... well..."
"We might have to wait a bit longer, my friends, we’ve been scattered. Sothing this big happened on Dragon Tail Island, neither the Holy Land nor the Tree Continent will let it slide. To be honest, in all my years, it’s the first ti I’ve seen several demigods team up. The ramifications of this matter are severe, and the responsibility is heavy. We don’t have to worry, but the safety of others..."
"...So why not go back and ask that guy, he might have so information."
"That guy" refers, of course, to Lord Main God, Ramasitia.
"Yeah! How did I forget this, even though the Lord Main God can’t intervene in the world, He truly holds a lot of knowledge. It’s just a pity that, on the sea, we can’t hear His voice... Honey, you need to nd your relationship with the Lord Main God, before, you could hear Him even at sea, right?"
"Heh... So, once we drop these five off at Dragon Heart Continent, you co ho with , alright?"
"As you command, dear wife."
Just as he finished speaking, a cold hand tapped him on the shoulder from behind.
Hooked kiss turned his head in surprise, only to see Necolia again staring at him with an expressionless face. Her silent gaze seed to ask, "What happens to when you return to the sea?"
Oh heavens, how did he forget about her again?!
Even if she had just co up?
Was his mory really that poor?
Or perhaps Necolia naturally had such a low presence?
But back when he and Fisher saw her on the Tree Continent, he thought she was quite stunning and radiant—this was from Fisher’s perspective.
"Sorry, Necolia... Don’t worry, after we send them back, I’ll take you ho too."
But to Hooked kiss’s surprise, after hearing this, she remained silent for a mont before shaking her head,
"I... can’t go back yet."
"Can’t... wait, what do you an?"
"...The literal aning, I have things yet unfinished, it’s an order from my Mother when I left."
Speaking of this, Hooked kiss suddenly rembered that when they left the Tree Continent, Necolia indeed had the opportunity to return. But when they asked her, she only said sothing about "fate’s guidance"...
Moreover, her unusually low presence also puzzled Hooked kiss.
He was even certain that if she left his sight, he would quickly forget about her, unless she spoke to him...
"What’s going on exactly? Can you tell ?"
Necolia kept her previous expression, pursing her lips while her gaze constantly flickered to the people behind them. Hooked kiss understood what she ant, then glanced at Xuan Can.
Xuan Can didn’t move, but around them, all sounds seed to fade away—the sound of the sea, the wind, and their conversations. In the silence, it felt as though only the three of them remained as sources of sound.
"Alright, now only we three can hear. This is my wife, you can trust her as you trust . This is her usage of the ’curse,’ don’t underestimate its function. Once it’s used, even the voice of the Main God is isolated outside."
This usage was too strange...
Necolia thought to herself.
But looking at the two in front of her, Necolia paused for a mont before speaking,
"My Mother gave sothing when I left. She said this departure from the tribe was crucial for the Phoenix, and I should only return after completing my task. There’s a lot of danger along the way, but that thing my Mother gave seed to protect . The specific thod is... seems like, none of you noticed ? Even death and fate are like that."
