Chapter 885 - 871: Phoenix Flame

Everyone knows the Young Master’s Companion Tree is very important, so there are people specifically guarding it. After it disappeared, they immediately informed the High Priest, who instructed them to report to the Young Master.

Though the Young Master is usually indifferent, he is easy to talk to.

At this moment, the Young Master’s gaze was displeased, his aura was strong, and his presence was overwhelming, making him seem somewhat different from before.

Just a glance from him made them dare not look again, causing them to kneel instinctively.

Xuan Che was interrupted during his time with his wife, naturally feeling unhappy.

Yet, he wouldn’t take it out on his subordinate, though his expression wasn’t great.

However, due to memory recovery, his aura was intense, and ordinary people couldn’t withstand this pressure.

Additionally, after the Contract, Xuan Che’s Beast Power backlash disappeared, elevating his strength directly to Level 7.

The subordinate suddenly realized something and excitedly exclaimed, "Young Master, are you... Level 7 now?"

He couldn’t care less about his previous fear and blurted out the question directly.

The Level 7 Superpower represents immense significance to a tribe.

In this area, none of the tribes have a Beastman with Level 7 Superpower.

Even the beast husbands of the High Priest are all Level 6.

The leader himself only has strength at the Level 6 Peak.

Level 7, the Young Master is still so young.

Their hearts surged with excitement because this means the safety of their Bird Tribe is guaranteed.

They are more secure now.

No need to fear attacks from other Beastmen, no need to worry about their Bird Tribe being conquered.

He couldn’t help but feel like crying.

Xuan Che nodded slightly, "Mm, it’s vital not to spread this news; I will personally inform my Female Mother."

"Yes, yes!"

Now, whatever task Xuan Che assigned him, he would carry out immediately, following naturally from deep within.

It was ingrained in them to instinctively revere and obey the strong.

Excitedly, he flapped his wings and flew away.

Xuan Che closed the door, returning to Su Muyao to continue embracing her.

However, Su Muyao was already dressed, preparing to get up and wash.

Seeing her, Xuan Che quickly brought water to assist her in washing up.

Once Su Muyao finished, he had breakfast ready for her.

Xuan Che prepared all of this early in the morning.

Su Muyao glanced at another room with the door closed, moved closer to listen, "They’re still asleep."

Last night, Xuan Che set a Barrier in Da Bao’s room, ensuring they couldn’t hear any noise and could rest peacefully.

With a tone of tender concern, Xuan Che said, "They’re still small and have been journeying for a long time, which has taken a toll on them. They haven’t been able to rest well along the way."

"Let them have a good sleep."

"Let’s not disturb them; last night, they ate food enough to sustain two to three days of energy."

Normally, they could sleep for two to three days.

When he spoke these words, Xuan Che’s eyes were incredibly gentle.

Su Muyao nodded, "They are truly thoughtful and considerate."

She hardly has to worry about anything.

Many times, they even comfort her, truly heartwarming.

Xuan Che also thought of their son, Ruirui, "Is Ruirui being taken care of there?"

Just after awakening, Su Muyao mentioned several things to Xuan Che, briefly touching on many details, with some matters yet to be fully explained.

She nodded in confirmation, "Mm, when I arrived here, Ci’an took Ruirui to the Holy Mountain, and he should also return to the Holy Mountain."

"Ruirui’s temperament isn’t naturally cold like Pure-blooded Beastmen; he is sunny and a little charmer."

Mentioning Ruirui brought a smile to Su Muyao’s face.

She also talked about some everyday anecdotes, and Xuan Che listened intently, his expression soft enough to drip water.

He smiled and said, "Pure-blooded Beastmen are indeed naturally cold and merciless, with blood that’s icy."

"You’re the one who made me feel the warmth of the blood."

"Besides, I didn’t like the sunshine originally, but now I can feel its presence."

He thought it was probably because this was a child born from his wife, hence the Pure-blooded cub didn’t entirely inherit the Blood Clan’s coldness and lack of emotion.

Speaking of which, Su Muyao felt puzzled, "You’re a Pure-blooded Beastman turned into a Firebird Beastman now, are you always a Firebird?"

Xuan Che clarified, "This body is essentially a vessel."

"Moreover, this Fire Ability, I hadn’t understood it before. Upon Contract and memory recovery, it vaguely feels connected to the Phoenix Clan’s Fire Ability, as if someone infused this vessel with flames. If I return to my original place, I’ll still be a Blood Clan Beastman."

He remains himself.

He knows he is a Blood Clan Beastman, which tells him the Fire Ability isn’t naturally his.

Su Muyao recalled the words from the Holy Tree, as if in the earliest times, a fragment of Xuan Che’s soul resided within this body.

Later, he performed a sacrifice, opened a channel in the Holy Tree, his body dissipated, and his soul was sent here to merge with this body.

Due to numerous restrictions and influence from the rules here, his memories were sealed, and he experienced backlash from Beast Power.

Strictly speaking, it’s akin to a plug-in, thus pressed tight.

But after the Contract, he was no longer rejected here, the Beast Power backlash vanished.

However, upon mentioning the Phoenix Clan, Su Muyao’s expression shifted several times, "Is it the Phoenix Clan’s Flame?"

Su Muyao remembered her grandfather came from the Phoenix Clan.

Yet, she has never found traces of her grandfather.

On Fusang Continent, only remnants of the Phoenix Tribe remain.

"Mm, it seems like it should be the Phoenix Clan’s Flame."

"Let’s eat first, and later we’ll go to my Female Mother to inquire."

"All right."

Su Muyao and Xuan Che ate quickly, and after finishing their meal, Xuan Che set a Protection Barrier around the treehouse, preventing others from approaching, ensuring the three cubs’ safety.

Also, with his current Level 7 Superpower, nobody can break through the Barrier.

Su Muyao watched, momentarily stunned, "Level 7."

It seems that after the Contract, his strength increased.

Su Muyao thought of something, assessing her ability, "Level 4 Superpower."

Feeling the Level 4 Superpower, Su Muyao was overwhelmed with excitement.

"My Superpower has recovered to Level 4 too."

The healing effect at Level 4 Superpower would be excellent.

"Is there anywhere you’re feeling unwell, let me sort it out for you."

Seeing Su Muyao’s excited and joyful expression, Xuan Che looked at her amusedly, leaning close to her ear, speaking in a sultry, velvet voice, "The Contract resolved all issues."

His previous internal injuries also vanished.

Indeed, the Immortal Phoenix Auspicious Beast’s soothing and healing powers are exceptionally strong.

Capable of breaking through all restrictions and rules.

Su Muyao felt Xuan Yan was extremely proper, restrained and tolerant, not noticing his longing for her until she paid close attention.

But after the Contract and memory recovery, he became flirty.

Su Muyao blushed.

Observing her like this, darkness swirled in Xuan Che’s eyes as he continued, "Though at night it might still feel uncomfortable, needing my wife’s comfort."

"I... I understand, let’s quickly go find your Female Mother and not keep her waiting."

"Alright."

Xuan Che ceased teasing her and transformed into his true form, allowing Su Muyao to hold him tightly.

Immediately, Xuan Che carried her to the other side towards the highest platform.

It’s the tribe’s central and most bustling location, supported by several incredibly ancient trees, resembling a palace.

"Is this your mother’s residence, being so grand?"

Xuan Che softly responded, "Yes, it’s the residence of my mother and her beast husbands."

Previously, Xuan Che followed the local custom calling her Female Mother; after recovering his memories, he defaulted to his prior way of addressing.

His mother was the High Priestess, with strong spiritual power and high status, hence she had dozens of beast husbands.

Here, females lacked combat ability, so to protect her safety, more powerful beast husbands were needed.

Previously he might have pitied his father beasts, but during this journey, he deeply realized that to safeguard his wife in harsh environments, it’s the only way.

Seemingly sensing movement, a female in feathered clothing and a feather crown emerged.
