Capítulo 746: 133. Princess’s Will (6.5k, Sovereign’s additional chapter)_3
“Wait, what Renie? I don’t know about that either…”
He imdiately flew back and perched on Fisher’s shoulder, looking so flabbergasted that Valentina couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle. However, Fisher didn’t intend to say too much and just briefly ntioned her departure from Nali to search for her hotown in Kado.
While Valentina listened, she gently released her grip on Fisher’s ear. Since she was indeed feeling uncomfortable, she had no choice but to close her eyes and lean on his back to catch her breath, listening to his story. Fisher’s words ca to an abrupt halt as he turned his head to look at Valentina’s weak state and inquired,
“Valentina, you’re in bad shape.”
“Mm, I’m fine…”
She murmured softly, trying to open her eyes to show she was alright, but this ti, she couldn’t even pry her eyes open and just kept breathing painfully.
Fisher quickly put her down from his back and looked down to find her body was hot, the black Seal on her back spreading, as if it intended to devour her completely,
“Valentina, Valentina!”
Fisher gently shook her body, but her fra turned colder and stiffer.
“Eh, Cocolia, sothing seems to have happened with the Phoenix Bloodline. Go and check it out.”
At this mont, from the back of the hall, Cocolia took quick strides to Valentina’s side, his brows furrowed as he glanced at Valentina lying on the ground. Then he turned to Dalilulu and commanded,
“Go to the dicine shelf in my room, bring back a bottle of pale red dicine, and be quick!”
Dalilulu nodded, placed an Ice Scroll on the ground, and then turned to run back through the hall.
Cocolia’s expression was serious; he stooped to look at Valentina, shivering from the cold, and murmured softly,
“Moon Princess, is this the Phoenix Bloodline that you wanted us to watch over? But she only has your blood, not your flesh and bones, how can she be called a Phoenix?”
Fisher looked up at Cocolia and suddenly understood the situation.
The rich Phoenix True Blood within Valentina was incessantly driving the changes in her body, but no matter what, Phoenix blood was a High Rank product, and the transformations it drove were not sothing that Valentina, at Zeroth Rank, could bear. This was the reason for the Turand Family’s tendency to die young.
Their Human bodies couldn’t handle the catalysis from the Phoenix blood, much like Alagina, a Troll Human Mixed Blood, couldn’t hold the Ice Prince Sword—it was suicidal for a human to adapt to Phoenix transformations.
If Valentina really were a Mixed Blood of Phoenix and Human, she would not have this problem, because although the birth rate is so low it could be considered negligible, any Mixed Blood born through the normal process has a special trait that enables adaptation to both bloodlines. But the Turand Family wasn’t like that. Their Mixed Blood was stolen through so unknown thod by Demons, not a bloodline they should inherently have.
The stolen bloodline retained its original trait sources and Humans’ bodies and bones ultimately couldn’t adapt to it.
“Here, here, is it this bottle?”
Dalilulu returned with a “thud thud thud” of dicine bottle in hand. Cocolia took the dicine, sniffed it, and then tilted the bottle to Valentina’s lips, feeding her the liquid. As the liquid entered her body, a bit of scalding steam burst forth from Valentina’s skin, and her complexion visibly flushed.
But Cocolia’s expression remained serious. He looked up at Fisher and said,
“The closer we are to the Wutong Tree, the more active the Phoenix Bloodline in her body will beco, for this is where they have grown up. But her Human body can’t adapt to the active Phoenix blood. The more active the Phoenix blood, the more dangerous it becos for her… Without my dicine, she might have less than a month to live. Now that I have strengthened her Constitution, that ti will increase to two months.”
“Ah? She isn’t a Phoenix? Wait, she’s a Human with Phoenix Blood? How did you manage that, and where is the Phoenix from which the bloodline originated? She is the one we are waiting for…”
Dalilulu looked at the Ice Scroll in his hands, suddenly confused, unsure if he should present the Moon Princess’s edict to Valentina who was before him.
Valentina’s breathing gradually stabilized, and she opened her eyes to see Fisher with a furrowed brow and two of the Troll Species beside her. She rubbed her temples and asked in confusion,
“What… what happened to ?”
Cocolia glanced at Valentina lying on the ground and then stood up, saying coldly,
“Human, I know not how you stole the Phoenix Blood, nor why you ca here with it, but I still advise you to give up. The treasures and secrets within the Wutong Tree are things not even the Phoenixes could take with them when they all perished. Do you think you will succeed with these tricks? We are waiting for the Phoenix we swore allegiance to, not a despicable thief…”
Valentina opened her mouth and then began to explain,
“I didn’t co for the treasures of the Wutong. Isn’t there a spreading curse within the Wutong Tree? We’ve co to solve the curse, and I also want to rid myself of the pain of dying young and being crippled. I…”
