Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1617 - 103: Research_3

The warm pool water became just as blurred under the lingering mist, but it was still clear to see that her towel floated up along with her softness.

Being a member of the Whale-man Species that lived in the sea, Moli became as agile as an elf once she entered the water.

She sighed lightly, and her whale tail swayed gently as she swam towards Fisher in the pool. As she emerged from the water, her fair skin glistened, making her long blue hair appear exceptionally vibrant.

She sat beside Fisher without any unnecessary movements, as if to mirror her previous words: she was just here to bathe, after all.

Rafael observed this and realized that this seemed like an invisible step. Although both understood each other’s true intentions, at least on the surface, their purpose here was merely to cleanse themselves.

She shook her tail and nodded, pulling her towel as she sat on the other side of Fisher, her voice trembling as she spoke,

"Alright, let’s take a bath then..."

The Dragon Queen and the Whale-man Priest fell into silence, but this left Fisher somewhat miserable. He stayed still, feeling the water swirl around them due to their movements, as if being touched, carrying a faint fragrance that announced their simultaneous presence.

And perhaps it was an illusion, but he always felt like the water’s temperature suddenly rose by dozens of degrees, becoming extremely sultry.

"..."

He swallowed hard, covering his face with his hand as he leaned against the stone wall behind him, letting the warm spring water run down his face, cleansing his muscular upper body.

Rafael and Moli caught sight of the droplets flowing from the corner of their eyes. Their throats slightly moved as they quickly looked away, each soaking their bodies in hot water, truly appearing like they came here just for a bath without any desire.

"...Phew."

Fisher remained silent, covering his face, while Moli felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward. She exhaled lightly, gazing at the thick mist around them, and whispered,

"It’s so quiet here..."

"This is the depths of the Dragon Court. It was always this quiet when we came here to wash..."

In the past, they often came here together, but Fisher’s presence made things feel strange. However, as things suddenly quieted down, Rafael and Moli instantly regained that familiar feeling of the past, and Rafael said so.

"I don’t mean the sounds here, this kind of quietness seemed to disappear two and a half years ago... because since then, we’ve been preparing for war. Although everyone worked late into the night and felt exhausted, which made it quiet, now finally that great worry has disappeared from our hearts."

"Yeah, without Barbatos and those demons, both the Fake Court and those Human Alliance forces are just scattered sands. It won’t be long before we liberate the entire South Continent..."

"Rafael, you can definitely do it."

"...It’s something we can definitely achieve."

Listening to Rafael’s voice, Moli still appeared bewildered. She reached out her fair hand from the water, somewhat unsure of herself,

"But now, extinction may have already arrived. Even you, Rafael, have entered the Mythical Rank, yet I remain stagnant and can’t fulfill my mother’s promise... Who knows, maybe my mother will suddenly appear and drag me back to the sea floor."

At this moment, Fisher, who had been restraining himself and had veins appearing on his muscles, suddenly placed his hand on his face. He recalled something and asked Moli,

"Moli, didn’t you sense during the Demon Dynasty that the base was possibly your chance to enter the Mythical Rank? Also, you mentioned you dreamed about your father."

"Mm..." Moli thought for a moment, then turned to Fisher with a smile, "But maybe it was just a dream, or perhaps my dad misses me and thinks of me so that I can dream of what I desire?"

"The base, huh..."

The hooked kiss is in the Spirit Realm, and the Gap is the dream realm, so Fisher didn’t think Moli’s dream was baseless, it could indeed be the hooked kiss trying to tell her something.

The Gap is the Avatar of the Spirit Realm Pollution, meaning Moli’s opportunity to enter the Mythical Rank is actually related to the Spirit Realm Pollution?

Why does that sound a bit dangerous?

But if Moli is the daughter of Xuan Can, it makes no sense for her to be stuck at the Mythical Rank for so long.

Although the saying "dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes" is too absolute and unacceptable, Moli is part of the Doomsday Prophecy, and her Blessing is from Ramasitia’s power directly shown. The combination of these three factors means Moli can’t be so mediocre, logically and reasonably speaking.

The only explanation could be that Moli possesses some unique trait she has yet to discover.

And hearing this, Rafael also noticed a hint of Moli’s disappointment beneath her smile, and she comforted her,

"It’s okay, Moli, you’re just a small opportunity away. I didn’t expect to enter the Mythical Rank when I lost consciousness either... Blessings or curses, I kind of wish I would’ve stayed before the Mythical Rank, then maybe the baby wouldn’t have suffered such unwarranted disaster. However, constant worrying only hinders progress, so let go of your worries. We will all find a way..."

"Mm."

Moli nodded, placing her hand on her chest, causing ripples to spread across the water and splash against Fisher’s skin, deepening his gaze.

The atmosphere between them gradually warmed up, but for Fisher, it felt like it intensified doubly, becoming extraordinarily hot.

He sighed and suddenly reached out, in a move unexpected to Rafael and Moli, suddenly pulling them both into an embrace.

"Fe... Mr. Fisher?!"

The towel slipped off their backs at the water’s surface, their slightly ashamed and somewhat annoyed voices rang out simultaneously,

"Fisher... you... you... what are you doing?!"

Rafael’s tail and claws gently tapped his back, while Moli leaned against his chest, making him seem more like an uncontrollable beast.

In response, he racked his brain for a proper reason but could only offer a lame excuse,

"...I have a study that requires your assistance."

"Huh? A study? Now? What study, exactly... Ah! Wait..."

"Mr. Fisher?!"

The sound of the hot spring water splashing was heard, the thick mist tactfully rising to veil the scene inside, transforming it into an indescribable secret realm.
