469 The Chea

A few minutes ago, these two females were bathing in the volcano nearby. They had finished their matter, so they thought it would be good to relax for a while. One of them was older, in her mid-thirties, and her charm was on her peak. While the younger one was filled with curiosity. People could tell that she wanted to know about the world more.a

"You know why I feel like wanting to bath in this place, Ellen?" The older one asked the younger one whose name was Ellen.

"I don't know, Mother." The younger one shook her head. It turned out the older one was her mother.

"Fufu… This is where your father and I met. Ah, I really miss your father…" The older one closed her eyes in reminisce. However, at this time, she suddenly felt a presence that was close to her.

It was from the sea... a port close to the sea, to be exact. She never thought she could feel this again.

"Mother?" Ellen looked at her confused. She was following her, so she could learn how to work as royalty. But seeing her mother frowned, worry came to her heart. "Is there something happening? I feel you are looking at the direction of the Sunken Town."

"I sense your father." She said.

"Father? But Mother said father has gone and would never come back." Ellen looked at her confused.

"No. This presence… I won't mistake him with someone else. Let's go!" She immediately wore her clothes and flew. Her daughter did not know, but she just followed her.

…

Meanwhile, on the Port.

Speechless by the number, Ricky furrowed his eyebrows. He might need to report a rare case like this. Even though Kyle could not be considered as a real phoenix, his fire alone was already extraordinary. And with the fact the bloodline number did not increase, it seemed there was another trick behind it.

"Human, what trick do you use to make the number like that."

Alex furrowed his eyebrows as he raised his awareness to the maximum. He would immediately activate his Pure Fire if he truly needed it. He just wanted to finish the test normally, but the people did not let him do that.

"Sir Ricky. He is still my guess. If there is something you like to say, it will be better until we reach the palace, right? Or is Phoenix Race truly looking down on us?" Shelka glared at him. Meanwhile, her true intention was very different from what she said. She thought, 'Good good. Continue to be mad. If my Supreme sees me protecting him, he will fall for me sooner or later.'

Ricky gritted his teeth as he said to Alex. "Next."

Alex shook his head helplessly. Kyle did not really have any specialty and could not be considered as a real phoenix. He thought, 'Just be done with it since Kyle is not my cheat in this continent.'

He placed his hand on the first crystal and it showed zero. It seemed he was a Pure Human, or at least did not have Phoenix as his ancestor. However, the problem was the second crystal. If Kyle already made such a ruckus with that score, it would be troublesome if he used his Pure Fire and got a perfect score. Because of that, he would just use his Phoenix Fire for this.

9

Even so, the score was still too high and shocked the people again. Ricky also furrowed his eyebrows. He never thought a human would have a fire element comparable to the Phoenix Queen.

"You… who are you?" When Ricky asked that question, he suddenly recalled what Shelka said. It was this human who wanted to meet her and he even got the support of Elven Race. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, calming his heart down. He needed to report this to the Phoenix Queen.

Shelka was also frowning this whole time. Alex's fire was Pure Fire, so his score should be 10, not 9. This completely bewildered her.

"Next," Ricky said with great difficulty.

The small fox simply flew toward the crystal and placed her hand on the crystal.

0

Sherry nodded and flew toward the second crystal. She placed her hand on this and was surprised because the number was…

9.5

The people looked at this and were shocked.

"This… this point…" Ricky was shaken by the result. He even fell to his butt as he said, "Celes… Celestial Fox."

Alex facepalmed. He just wanted an easy journey, but all of these things suddenly happened in front of his eyes.

Ricky took a deep breath as he shouted at Alex, "You all will stay here until the queen arrives. If you try to escape, I will kill you."

"Hoo…" Alex narrowed his eyes as he did not like that statement.

"Sir Ricky, he is our distinguished guest, are you planning to make war with our race?" Shelka looked at Ricky with killing intent.

"I don't care. If there are only the phoenix and the human, I will let this pass, but with the appearance of Celestial Fox, I will immediately process this." Ricky glared back at her before turning to Sherry. "I will bring you to the phoenix queen for her to process."

"What do you think you are doing?" Alex suddenly appeared in front of Sherry, blocking Ricky's hand.

"Human. Don't push your luck."

"You are the one who should not push your luck." Alex was angry. Handling was okay, but taking her from him was not okay. After all, what they would do to Sherry.

Ricky suddenly released his fire and Spiritual Energy. He tried to suppress Alex with this.

"!!!" Alex did not back down. He had no choice as it seemed there was only one choice.

War.

He unsealed his Pure Fire and used it to the fullest. The fire was so strong as it immediately suppressed the flame inside Ricky's body.

"!!!" Ricky noticed this too. He wanted to attack Alex but could not do so as the fire itself restricted him. It was telling him that they could not attack the king. He tried to suppress the feeling with his Spiritual Energy, but could only move when Alex's Spiritual Energy depleted. "Pure Fire User! Surround him!"

Ricky immediately ordered a few subordinates. They wanted to do it, but Alex also suppressed them.

Alex gritted his teeth as he would use all of his energy before he could do anything. This was the difference between 2-Star Tier 5 with 3-Star Tier 6, Ricky. Alex only had one thing to do, "System, use my UR EXP card to-!"

Before he finished his order, a woman's voice reverberated in their ears.

"Stop!"

A sudden appearance of a woman shocked all the people nearby. Alex's expression immediately darkened when he saw this woman as she had 7-Star Tier 6. There was also another female that appeared like the first one but smaller. She was a 1-Star Tier 6.

Both of them were certainly a beauty. The older one had that mature charm while the younger one had the youthful flavor. Both of them had red hair and red eyes.

"Your Majesty." Ricky kneeled immediately.

"Your Majesty." Hearing that, all of them started kneeling on the ground.

"Kh, System, use-!" Alex knew it was a bad situation and needed to do something. Before he completed the request, the so-called Phoenix Queen had already disappeared from his eyes. Unexpectedly, the target was not Sherry or him, but Kyle.

"Kyle-!" When he turned his head to Kyle, he was dumbfounded by the sight.

The so-called Phoenix Queen was hugging Kyle while squeezing her cheek on Kyle. "Hubby."

"Eh?!" Everyone was shocked. Even Alex was dumbfounded when he heard that. He blinked a few times to see if he was dreaming or not.

"I finally found you, Hubby. I miss you so much." The woman kept hugging him tightly. She was afraid he would go away again if she let him go.

Alex closed his eyes as he was trying to process what happened. At first, he thought Kyle was a stranded Phoenix's prince that somehow stayed in that world. It seemed he was wrong about this after he saw Kyle's score, Kyle was not even considered as a Phoenix as he was one point short from 70 points.

And the one who was hugging him was called Your Majesty, AKA the Phoenix Queen. He did not really know about this, but it seemed the Queen did not have a husband. And she might be frustrated or something to even recognize Kyle as her husband.

"Your Majesty… what do you mean? This… This phoenix only has bloodline points of-" Ricky wanted to inform her, but she had already answered.

"69 bloodline points and 6 points in Fire Element. But when he transformed into his real form, the bloodline point did not change while his Fire Element became 9. Is that right?" The queen gave a very detailed answer and it shocked him even more.

"Your Majesty… how do you know…" Ricky looked at her with an empty stare, could not believe what he heard.

"Then, he must be my hubby. He is a very unique individual after all." She was patting his head. Kyle tried to break free from her but to no avail. He looked at Alex for help, but Ricky interrupted again.

Alex facepalmed as he thought, 'You are really my cheat in this place.'

"Your Majesty… This… There is another important matter, that man has Pure Fire Element in his body while that fox is a Celestial Fox. He is also bringing the phoenix with him. Because of that, I am trying to apprehend him, so Your Majesty could handle-!" Before he finished, he was blown away.

"Boom Boom Boom!"

They dropped their jaws to the ground when they saw the queen pose as she had just punched Ricky and blasted him out of the town through the houses and the city wall.

"You bastard, to think you dare to apprehend my husband's benefactor. I will kill you." The queen suddenly made a fierce expression.

Because of this, Alex decided to wait before using his EXP card.

"Master… Help me…" Kyle looked at him with pitiful eyes.

The queen did not let him do so. She immediately turned to him and said. "This is not a place for us to speak. Let's go back first to my castle."

"Wait, Your Majesty, we haven't gotten our identity badges yet." Shelka suddenly stopped her.

"Hmm… If I am not wrong, you are the princess of the Elven Race, the one with Pure Wind Element."

"Yes. Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. I am accompanying this gentleman to visit you." Shelka greeted her politely.

Without answering her, the phoenix queen looked at her subordinates and said. "Give me four highest rank badges."

"Ye-yes!" They did not dare to say anything and immediately handed green badges. There was a 'Royal Guest' written on it, so it must be something important.

She then took it before levitating them to the sky. She then waved her hand and a small boat for everyone to hop on. The boat was a simple wooden boat that could easily be lit in fire and not really suitable for the Phoenix Race. However, since they were already in human form, they did not need to care about this.

"Well, all of you can continue with the recording process. Tell that person to come back to the palace a few days later to receive his punishment."

She then came inside the boat.

Alex looked at Shelka, who nodded her head. They had no choice. Kyle was in her possession anyway and he also wanted to challenge the trial, so they could only get into the boat. Of course, Alex did not let his guard down, ready to use his EXP card at any moment.

Meanwhile, the younger one, Ellen, seemed to be looking at Alex continuously after Ricky announced he had Pure Fire Element. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

After everyone was no board, they finally set off toward the Phoenix Queen's palace.
