Chapter 549 - 549: Many Things To Worry

"Me?" Yui asked, looking at Lucifer, stunned. He had already stopped looking at her and shifted his attention back to the flower in his hand.

"Of course. Aren't you?" Lucifer asked.

He was mostly saying it to get in the good books of these people, but it wasn't entirely false either. He had some goodwill for these people. Unlike in the real world, here, people accepted him with no expectations.

Hun let him stay in his home without asking many questions. As for this girl, she gave him this flower so he could have some luck even though she didn't have to.

These people were actually helping him without any expectations. For them, he was just an ordinary High Beast that wasn't even going to stay here for long, but they still took him in and treated him well. Especially Hun.

Still, that much wasn't enough to phase him. All he had was the goodwill for these people and nothing more... At least that's what he thought.

Yui didn't answer Lucifer. She simply stood up. "I-i think I should go back in. It's getting late."

She quickly ran inside the mansion.

"Hmm? What happened to her?" Lucifer muttered, confused. He shook his head as he also stood up. "I should also sleep. Tomorrow is the day we leave this place if everything goes right."

He got up; however, before he could turn, he noticed a bright light in the sky.

"This..."

He could see what appeared to be a flaming bird that was flying high in the sky, flying towards the South.

Curious, he decided to follow her. His body started rising in the air while he hid his aura in the darkness of the night.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

He followed the phoenix for about half an hour. The Phoenix had stopped and landed on the ground, taking her real shape back.

She was indeed the red-haired lady that was the person he first saw in this world.

She stopped before a steep cliff, right at the edge.

Lucifer also landed behind her, wondering what she was doing here. Was she looking to jump? He wondered, sighing.

The Phoenix didn't jump though.

"Arghhhh!"

After standing still for what appeared to be an eternity, she yelled at the top of her lungs.

Lucifer cast a barrier around his ears to protect himself from this sharp screaming. After screaming as long as she could, the red-haired lady sat on the edge of the cliff with her legs hanging down.

As he heard the scream, he didn't know why, but it sounded like a scream filled with pain and agony. It was something he was all too familiar with since he also did something like this in the past... All to get some emotions out.

However, doing this was rare for him since he mostly preferred to destroy things when he was feeling like that.

After the helpless scream, the lady sat on the ground.

Lucifer stepped closer to the lady, sighing. He didn't want to expose himself here, but he felt like he needed some answers.

He stopped right behind the lady and stopped hiding his presence.

"So, what's making you so helpless that you have to scream here?" he asked.

"Hmm?" The red-haired woman stood up, looking back shocked.

"You! What are you doing here?" She asked, glaring at Lucifer.

Crack~

As she was standing at the edge already, moving back one more step in shock brought her to the danger zone of the cliff. The rock where her feet were resting broke apart. She lost her balance and fell back.

Lucifer took a step forward and caught her hand. "Be careful."

His hands met the hands of the red-haired woman, who didn't understand what had just happened. Did a stranger really touch her?

She looked at the hands of Lucifer, which had started turning green.

"Hmm? What's this?" Lucifer muttered, frowning. He pulled the lady back before he freed her hand.

His hand had turned slightly greenish, but his healing also activated, healing his hand and bringing it back to normal.

"Did you really have to attack me with poison? I was only trying to help you?" Lucifer muttered, frowning. He understood that it was probably some poison that was acting on his body. Fortunately, his healing got into action, or he might have been in danger.

"I didn't need your help. I wouldn't have fallen. I can fly," the red-haired woman responded. "Moreover, I didn't attack you. I'm not such a coward that I'll have to attack you like that."

"But still... How is your hand fine? This is the first time I've seen someone heal so easily?"

"So you can't control that either? Your touch poisons people?" Lucifer asked, frowning. He couldn't help but look at his own hand. The resemblance was so uncanny. He couldn't stop his decay either.

The lady didn't answer. She sat on the ground again, with her back facing Lucifer. "Why were you following me?"

"Because I wanted to ask you something."

"Ask what?" The lady asked.

"You are a Phoenix, right? I heard you people can't bear the cold? At least that's what Hun told me. Similar to how he can't bear heat that well. Is that true?"

"What of it?"

"Why were you taking a bath in the freezing pond then?" Lucifer asked. "Something didn't seem right."

The lady grew shocked. "How do you know about that?!"

"Is that something I should've known about? Actually, I happened to be near that place when that was happening," Lucifer replied as he also sat beside the lady. "That intrigued me a lot. So I wanted to ask you about it."

"I don't need to tell you anything. Go back to the Snow Wolves. You're disturbing me here. Also, next time, try not to peep at bathing ladies."

"I wasn't peeping. You just happened to be there," Lucifer replied. "But still, I won't force you to answer."

"The scene from here is really beautiful though. I didn't know a place as beautiful as this existed here." Lucifer changed the topic for a moment, so he wasn't forced to leave.

"It is. This is my favorite place," the lady answered. "Whenever I feel upset, I come here."

"So, what's making you upset today?" Lucifer asked.

The lady didn't answer. "Telling you won't help anything."

"Who knows. You should try sharing some time. Maybe I'll have some ideas to help you?"

"It's alright. You don't need to stress yourself. It's my problem, and I'll solve it myself. Moreover, you should focus more on yourself.. Do what you're here to do and leave," the woman answered.
