Chapter 1090: Duoduo’s ‘Illness’
Chen Rui didn’t know about Lex the Great’s purge at Dragon Horn City. In fact, it really had nothing to do with him. His main concern now was to get to the Flaring Sun Volcano as early as possible because Duoduo’s ‘cold illness’ started to act again.
“Daddy, Duoduo is so cold.”
“Stanwell, can you be faster?”
“It’s already the fastest. At this speed, we can reach the Flaring Sun Volcano in about 2 days.”
Chen Rui nodded. Just now, he was overly concerned. In fact, Stanwell’s strength and flying speed far exceeded that of a griffon. To reach the Flaring Sun Volcano in 2 days was much faster than he thought.
“Duoduo, daddy will sing you a song.”
Listening to Chen Rui’s out-of-tune singing, Stanwell had previously thought it was funny, but slowly, he couldn’t help but recall the situation where he and his younger sister, Loraine, depended on each other. He suddenly felt a little melancholy. Some of his hatred and fear unknowingly faded.
After traveling day and night, they finally arrived at the Flaring Sun Volcano area in the afternoon of the second day.
This was not a volcano, but a huge volcanic group. Just like the name of ‘Flaring Sun’, many craters would emit sun-like flares from time to time. The eruption was continuous, and hot lava flowed all year round.
Although this was the territory of the Red Eagle Empire, there were no people at all because the environment was too harsh.
“There are too many volcanoes here, and the geographical span is very large. Stanwell, do you know where the fire elementals are located?”
Stanwell shook his gigantic head, “It’s so d.a.m.n hot here. I’ve only been here occasionally with the red dragon a long time ago, and I haven’t explored it carefully.”
“Okay, you can go now.” Chen Rui nodded and flew down with Catherine and Duoduo. After thinking about it, a bottle of black potion appeared in front of the holy dragon, “I already knew that what happened before was a misunderstanding. This bottle of resurrection potion is a reward for you.”
Resurrection potion? Stanwell’s eyes were bright. This is the potion that can only be crafted by the great grand master. It is a unique treasure in this world where there is no great grand master.
Duoduo waved to Stanwell, “Uncle, you are not a bad person. Goodbye!”
Stanwell waved his hand subconsciously before he suddenly came to his senses. His face flushed red, and he disappeared into the sky in a white flash.
“Your daughter is more lethal than you.” Catherine touched Duoduo’s little face.
“Lethal! Lethal!” Duoduo waved her fist proudly.
“What to do? This daughter is like her mother. She conquers the city with a smile, and wins without fighting against the enemy.” Chen Rui winked his eyes pretending to be relaxed. Due to Duoduo’s condition these days, both he and Catherine had been under tremendous mental pressure. It was rare to relax a little bit of tension.
“Flowery words.” Catherine shook her head, “Let’s figure out how to find the fire elementals.”
“After much deliberation, there is only one stupid solution.” Chen Rui covered Duoduo’s ears, “You should cover your ears too.”
“No doubt it’s stupid,” Catherine said oddly, “But I think you’re even more stupid, why don’t you keep us in the Tower of Glory?”
“Okay, I admit you’re right, smart woman.” Chen Rui shrugged.
After a while, the purple starlight shone in the sky. Then, a deafening sound enveloped the entire area of the main volcano.
“Ogmarton! Fire origin fragment!”
Although there were only 2 short terms, Chen Rui believed that as soon as Ogmarton heard ‘fire origin fragment’, he would come immediately.
No doubt, about 20 minutes later, 3 rays of light appeared in vision.
White, green, red.
3 Kings of Light.
Chen Rui let out a long breath and deactivated the [Pole Star Transformation].
“Even in the memory of the Elemental King, you are the first person to shout with the strength of Pseudo-G.o.d.” Light Elemental King Delkus showed a bewildered expression.
The Wind Elemental King Sethtine’s eyes twinkled, “I’m amazed by your strength advancement, my friend Chen Rui.”
“I’m not like these 2 hypocritical guys who like to beat around the bush.” Fire Elemental King Ogmarton asked in a hurry, “Where is the fire origin fragment?”
“It’s a long story.”
Ogmarton immediately interjected, “Then keep it short!”
“Actually, I did find the fire origin fragment.” Chen Rui looked at the 3 Elemental Kings with different expressions and sighed, “But, there is 1 thing that I need your help…”
Soon after, at the Blazing Flame Hall, where the fire elementals reside.
After listening to Chen Rui’s brief account of Duoduo’s situation, the Fire Elemental King Ogmarton looked at the little girl who excitedly flew around the palace filled with lava and flames. A surprised expression on his burning face, “Chen Rui, is your home similar to the Blazing Flame Hall?”
Chen Rui was speechless. Your house is the one full of fire. Well, it is indeed full of fire here.
Sethtine shook his head, “Your metaphor is as s.h.i.+tty as your temper, Ogmarton. You should say, this little girl is a fire elemental in human skin.”
This metaphor is even more s.h.i.+tty. Chen Rui was more speechless, “Your Highnesses, I know that the appearance of the fire origin fragment makes you all feel good. However, my wife and I are very worried. Is there any way to help my daughter out of the pain?”
Ogmarton took a close look at Duoduo with a suspicious expression, “Is that little girl your biological child?”!
“If someone else asks me that, I’ll punch him unceremoniously.” Chen Rui frowned, “I’m here to ask for help. Seriously, how to cure Duoduo’s illness? If you really have a way, if you really treat me as a friend, please answer truthfully.”
“I’m serious too, is she really your daughter?”
Chen Rui originally thought after coming here, the Fire Elemental King should have a way to save Duoduo, but who knew that the other party would ridicule him like this. The pressure acc.u.mulated in his mind suddenly burst out, and he shouted, “Ogmarton!”
“Chen Rui.” Catherine pressed Chen Rui in time, “Your Highnesses, as it is related to the safety of my daughter, so my husband is a little rude. Please forgive us. Although it is the first time we meet, I have heard Chen Rui say that the 3 Kings of Light can be regarded as good friends, especially the Your Highness Wind Elemental King Sethtine. For Your Highness Ogmarton and Your Highness Delkus, Chen Rui can keep his promise to find the light origin fragment and fire origin fragment, so he should also be a friend who keeps his promises. Therefore, I want to confirm 1 thing first – Is the condition of Duoduo serious?”
“Ms. Catherine, your observation skills are admirable.” Sethtine said. “It’s just that your daughter’s condition is more special than you think.”
“Yes.” Ogmarton replied, “The breath of the power in this little girl feels vast and intimate to me. Not only that, she may also have some ancient and rare bloodline power.
That’s why I wanted to clarify if she is your real daughter. “
Chen Rui also gradually calmed down, “I’m sorry Ogmarton, I was too impatient just now.”
“I prefer straightforward friends.” Ogmarton shook his head, “Unfortunately, my current state is far from being your opponent. Otherwise, a good fight will be enough to make friends.”
“Put away your bad habits; don’t get off topic.” Delkus spoke up, “As Elemental Kings, we are very grateful to you for bringing back the origin fragment. You are the true friends that Elemental King admits. Now that you need help, we will definitely exert all effort. At present, the exact situation of Duoduo must be found out before the correct judgment and method can be selected.”
“I won’t say more courtesies.” Catherine nodded, “Frankly speaking, I’m from the Demon Realm’s Asmodeus Royal Family. We are indeed Duoduo parents, but my original pregnancy may well be due to… a special power that I accepted from Chen Rui. It was under this power that I completed the 5th nirvana of the Asmodeus Royal Family and became pregnant with this child.”
“Special power?” Delkus glanced at Chen Rui.
“I wonder if the 3 of you have heard of an existence called the ‘phoenix’?”
“Phoenix?” Delkus patted his head, “No wonder I feel that degree of fire affinity in her. Phoenix is an ancient demonic beast with powerful combat power, and it can be reborn in flames. However, after a certain catastrophe, they have almost disappeared. I didn’t expect phoenix to still exist! But why is she currently a human body?”
“I once happened to hatch a phoenix, and it was like a daughter to me. Because of an accident…” Chen Rui showed the [Fire Phoenix Stigmata] on his left arm, “But she did not really annihilate. Instead, she was kept in this mark — You may not be able to see it, but in fact, this mark exists. Later, Catherine and I became husband and wife. Duoduo probably reincarnated into a human body in this way, and she was reborn as our daughter.”
Delkus pondered and said, “This may explain why Duoduo likes the fire environment so much, but that’s not the key question. Even the phoenix wouldn’t have a bloodline like that.
“The ancient bloodline you’re talking about isn’t a phoenix?” This greatly exceeded Chen Rui’s expectations.
“She was kept in your body and was born through the maternal body…” Sethtine looked at Catherine for a while, shook his head, and finally set his eyes on Chen Rui.
Not only Sethtine, but Ogmarton and Delkus also looked at Chen Rui. He felt a little awkward being stared at, “What’s wrong with me?”
“2 possibilities. 1 is Duoduo’s own reason, and the other is you.” Sethtine said profoundly, “No matter which reason, I can answer you accurately, Duoduo’s condition is not an illness.”
“Not an illness?” Chen Rui and Catherine said in unison.
“This should be an ‘awakening’ of bloodline power.” Delkus said solemnly, “It’s not a phoenix bloodline, because she originally had the purest phoenix power. This kind of bloodline is very rare, and it can be called the closest to the ultimate existence! In other words, it is the easiest shortcut to reach the ultimate.”
Ultimate? Catherine and Chen Rui looked at each other. Catherine couldn’t help but speak up, “Duoduo has the closest bloodline to the ultimate?”
“It could be Duoduo, or it could be him…” Delkus looked at Chen Rui, but he finally said to Catherine, “The strange thing is, you also have a little bit of it. It should be because something happened to him or her. This kind of transfer has benefited a lot.”
“Transfer? Benefit?” Catherine expressed surprise and suddenly understood something, “The 5th nirvana!”
TL: Is Duoduo going through a nirvana? What about the ancient bloodline?
