<h4>Chapter 805 - Not Human</h4>


    "She is Xiao Hua, and this one over here is Feng Yuxiang." Yuan pointed at them and introduced them to Yan Hara.


    "Although they''re my servants, I prefer to call them mypanions."


    Yan Hara raised her eyebrows and asked, "Normal servants wouldn''t be able to enter the Demon Sealing Pagoda with you, so they must have signed a contract that binds their soul with your soul. In other words, they are no different than the Soul Weapons that you carry around with you in your body."


    "That is correct. We are more than just ''servants''. We are his most loyal servants— his weapon and shield." Feng Yuxiang said in a prideful voice.


    "I see… And since she''s an exile, you must be participating in the Supreme Heaven''s Legacy. How troublesome…" Yan Hara sighed.


    And she continued, "You do know what it means to ept the Supreme Heaven''s Legacy or the consequences of siding with an exile, right?"


    "I do." Yuan immediately nodded with a serious face.


    "If others from the Demon Sealing n or the Demon Sealing Grotto learn that you''re helping an exile, it will be immensely more difficult for you to be the next leader, and there''s a good chance that you could even get kicked out of the n…" Yan Hara sighed.


    "If you''re asking me to choose between the Demon Sealing n or Xiao Hua, I would choose thetter without any hesitation." Yuan quickly said with a resolute face.


    "Let''s not get ahead of yourself…" A bittersweet smile appeared on Yan Hara''s face.


    "You might not care about the Demon Sealing n, but as your lecturer, I truly want you to be the next leader of the Demon Sealing n, and after what happened at the Demon Sealing Pagoda today, I believe that the Divine Paragon also saw something special within you, hence why he appeared when you entered the pagoda."


    "Once the higher ups learn of what happened today, they will definitely start paying more attention to you, and they might even outright approach you, so I suggest you keep your little friend hidden for as long as you''re inside the Grand Library."


    "I will keep that in mind." Yuan nodded.


    "You should also keep in mind that even if she is hidden in your body, there are people out there that can still see her. If you truly want to keep her safe, you''ll need a treasure that blocks all probing, but in order to acquire a treasure powerful enough to block even the most powerful cultivators… it won''t be easy."


    "I would help you, but I do not have the capabilities to acquire such a powerful treasure."


    "It''s okay, I will figure something out. Thank you, Senior, for your help." Yuan said to her.


    "I am your lecturer— I am supposed to help you, even if the subject is a little… hical…" Yan Hara smiled.


    And she continued while looking directly at Xiao Hua, "By the way, you should probably go back. Your exile aura… It''s getting stronger."


    However, Xiao Hua immediately refused by shaking her head, and her grasp on Yuan tightened.


    Seeing this, Yuan patted her head and said, "It''s okay, Xiao Hua. I am safe in this ce. What happened in the Demon Sealing Pagoda was due to my carelessness. It won''t happen again."


    "Damn right you are safe in this ce! Who would dare to touch you, who has the face of the Divine Paragon, in this ce filled with his admirers and fanatics? That would be a crime punishable by death!" Yan Hara added.


    After a moment of silence, Xiao Hua nodded her head and reluctantly returned inside Yuan''s body.


    As for Feng Yuxiang, she decided to stay outside for a little longer since she wasn''t worried about getting hunted.


    Yan Hara''s attention turned to look at Feng Yuxiang now that Xiao Hua''s presence was gone, and she asked, "You have a unique aura around you. It''s like you''re human but also not at the same time. What are you?"

    In response to Yan Hara''s question, Feng Yuxiang changed her hair to red and her eyes to golden.


    Yan Hara''s eyes widened with shock when she realized what she was looking at.


    "Y-You''re a phoenix?" Yan Hara muttered in a voice of disbelief.


    "Is there a problem with that?" Feng Yuxiang said.


    Yan Hara swallowed nervously and said, "Phoenixes are some of the most prideful creatures roaming in the Nine Heavens alongside dragons. I cannot imagine a creature like that would be willing to be a human''s servant— binded through your souls, much less."


    Feng Yuxiang coldly snorted and said, "I am not just the servant of any ''human''. The Young Master is special. I wouldn''t even categorize him as human. He''s different from the rest of you humans."


    Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "You don''t see me as human?"


    "I-I don''t mean it like that… You''re human… but above a human at the same time— like a celestial being." Feng Yuxiang tried to exin herself.


    Yan Hara couldn''t help but let out a chuckle after hearing Feng Yuxiang''s words, and she said, "You know, ording to some ancient document, after the Divine Paragon conquered the Demonic Realm, there were countless Divine Beasts that would offer themselves to serve him. And yes, this included phoenixes and even dragons. You''re truly resembling the Divine Paragon more and more now, Yuan."


    "The Divine Paragon was truly someone special. He was a human like the rest of us, but there was something about him that made him stand out from the rest of us— at least this is what some people during his era said."


    Sometimeter, Yan Hara asked Yuan, "Do you have any questions for me?"


    He nodded and spoke, "I want to challenge the demon on the fourth floor again, and I want to defeat it. Can you help me?"


    Yan Hara then said, "If you want to challenge the pagoda again, you''ll have to wait 30 days, and we''ll have to pay for the resources by ourselves this time."


    "I am fine with that." Yuan said.


    "Then let me ask you another question— what do you think you need to defeat the demon?" She asked him.
