Chapter 195: Women’s Instinct

"KYAA… Angus, what are you doing?!!" yelled Jayna while half of her clothes are thorned apart.

"Well, I just want to check your wound." said Angus while looking at the burning wound that started to heal itself.

At this moment, Jayna feels embarrassed and blushing as Angus could see almost all parts of her upper body.

"It seems the Fire Phoenix ability is really great to be able to heal this kind of wound. However, the healing speed is still too slow. We don't have much time until the next round." 

"I will put some potion on it. You may feel a stinging pain a little bit, so bear with it." said Angus while taking a potion bottle.

Without wasting any time, Angus immediately poured the potion into the wound. *SSHSS* The fire in Jayna's shoulder absorbed the potion and enhanced its healing speed.

"Urrghh.. Ahh..." Moaned Jayna.

"Are you okay, Jayna?" asked Angus.

"Yeah, I was just surprised at the sudden sensation." replied Jayna while blushing.

Agnus was immediately dazzled by Jayna's blushing and embarrassed reaction. He feels like seeing a pure, fragile girl that needs to be protected. Jayna also realizes Angus's daring look at her, which makes her blush more.

A moment later, Angus shakes his head and goes back to focus on Jayna's wound, which is already almost fully healed. Looking at the crimson fire in her shoulder, Angus couldn't help but think of his medication blue flame method. 

Without warning, Angus creates a blue flame on his finger and pushes them into Jayna's wound. The flame merged together and finally completely healed Jayna's wound. During this time, Jayna once again let out a moan.

"Ahh… Angus, w-what are you doing?" moaned Jayna, embarrassed, letting out a sudden cry.

"Errm… I just touch your wound with my blue flame. Does it hurt?" asked Angus.

"N-No, i-it's.. Just don't do that again. Now, get out!! I want to change my clothes." said Jayna with an embarrassing smile.

"O-Okay… Emm…" said Angus while still not moving from his place.

Seeing Angus not moving from his spot, "Angus, Why are you still here?" asked Jayna.

"Emm.. Can I stay here? I-I mean.. I just want to be at your side now." said Angus while hugging Jayna.

Jayna couldn't help but blush to hear Angus's reply. She tried to come up with a refusal, but no voice could be heard from her mouth.

Finally, she replied, "O-Okay, b-but please do not stare at me too much. I-I still have not prepared for it." replied Jayna in a low voice but still could be heard by Angus.

"Ahh.. No, I didn't mean it that way. I mean, I just want to stay at your side. I will turn back, and you could change your clothes." said Angus as he hurriedly turned his back towards the opposite direction.

As he turns back, he feels worse than before. Using his sharp perception, he could feel everything on his back. His longing and feeling to look at Jayna are getting stronger. It really takes everything to calm his mind and not turn back.

'Damn.. it. Is this because of that forgotten king's blessing? N-No.. Angus, get yourself together. She is your precious girlfriend.' thought Angus inwardly.

At this moment, Jayna decides to hurry, changing her clothes. As she begins undressing her clothes, Angus immediately takes a deep breath to calm his mind while closing his eyes.

However, this decision made him see exactly her silhouette and her way to change her clothes. He feels like the time itself is slowed down while Angus is savoring Jayna's body contour like seeing the most artistic piece of art.

Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed. He sees another woman similar to Jayna but with red hair instead of Jayna's beautiful blonde hair. The red-haired woman is also as enchanting as Jayna.

If Jayna is beautiful with her delicate and independent personality, this red-haired mature woman is beautiful while exuding a firm and strong character.

Before Angus realizes, the scene starts to become apparent. Looking at the surroundings, the setting is changed into lush vegetation instead of a private waiting room. In front of him, the red-haired woman is taking a bath inside the pond while humming something.

Her movements are very graceful, elegant and seem to complement nature itself. At this moment, Angus didn't feel lust towards this woman but rather a deep interest and longing feeling at her.

Angus didn't notice that he couldn't even control his body and feel like usual, yet kept looking at the enchanting red-haired woman. Soon, the red-haired woman noticed Angus and looked at him back. He could see sharp crimson bird eyes in her eyes.

Despite the firm and strong facade that the red-haired woman shows, Angus feels lonely and tender feeling inside her eyes. A second later, her menacing eyes turn into a fierceness that could burn everything.

Anger, hatred, and pride cover her true soft and tender personality, but Angus still could see her true nature. He could see the red-haired woman's inner feeling that makes her like the most fantastic piece of art yet fragile at the same time.

Before he noticed, Angus unconsciously said, "So, beautiful." while tearing down.

Hearing this, the red-haired woman couldn't help but be surprised. It feels like she could understand what Angus feels as she starts to mellow down. But she shakes her head and glaring at Angus with contempt.

Then, she bit her lips and glaring at Angus. She turned into the brightest crimson yet beautiful fire and destroyed the surrounding.

Angus also feels like being roasted alive by the crimson flame, yet he still is not looking away at the red-haired woman even once.

He keeps looking at her without caring about his own body. His looks are still the same as before. A look that shows a pure longing feeling yet without lust but honesty. Soon the fire completely envelops Angus, and his consciousness disappears.

When he wakes up, he feels in the lap of someone and once again sees the red-haired woman. The red-haired woman says something in an unknown language, but Angus's body is too weak to respond to her. 

His body is currently engulfed in the crimson flame that slowly healed him. After a while, the red-haired woman put Angus on the ground and stood up. 

Then, she looks back at Angus and says the same incomprehensible language before turning into a blaze of crimson fire and flying away. After that, his consciousness plunged into the darkness.

"Angus.. Angus.. Are you okay??" called Jayna.

Hearing Jayna's call, Angus opens his eyes and sees himself in the lap of Jayna.

Feeling the familiar scene, Angus couldn't help but saying, "Don't go!!" while waking up and hugging Jayna.

"Emm… Angus, Are you alright?" asked Jayna confusedly at her boyfriend's sudden action.

Hearing his girlfriend's question, Angus finally comes to his senses and looks at the surroundings, which he found in a waiting room.

"Err… How long did I pass out?" asked Angus.

"Not long, I just finished changing my dress before you suddenly slump on the ground while tearing up." explain Jayna.

After coming to his senses, Angus realizes that he is just going through memory, not just anyone's memory.

'That is probably the memory of the forgotten king and that red-haired woman, definitely the fire phoenix. No wonder he said to not become like him.' thought Angus.

Seeing Angus still absent-minded while hugging her, "Angus, is there something wrong? You make me afraid." said Jayna.

"Ahh… I am sorry, I am fine. Anyway, Jayna, did you know someone that Fire phoenix might be interested in her memory?" asked Angus.

"Fire Phoenix?? Hmm..." said Jayna while thinking about something.

After a while, "I am not sure. The Fire Phoenix is… you can say, too arrogant. She didn't see any other race at the same level as her or her sibling."

"She also used to play some men, making them her… slaves. As far as I know, she never takes an interest in other people, especially men."

"Still, that's what I currently know. There is still a lot of fragmented memory that I still have not gone through. Some of them even contain a powerful emotion that I don't have any access to see. Is there something wrong with Fire Phoenix?" said Jayna.

"Hmm.. I think the forgotten king has some connection with Fire Phoenix." said Angus before he explained what happened to him.

Hearing Angus's story, "So, you are saying the Forgotten King and Fire Phoenix might be lovers?"  asked Jayna with curiosity as her woman instinct worked.

"I am not sure. But, the one I am going through is definitely the Forgotten King's memory. Still, the Fire Phoenix in his memory and what you are describing is very different. Maybe she is another Fire Phoenix?" said Angus.

"Hmmm… I don't think so. I feel that the two of them are related somehow." replied Jayna.

"Huh… How did you know?" asked Angus.

"It's my woman's instinct. I am sure both of them must have a deep relationship." said Jayna in a playful tone.

"Err… woman's instinct??!" said Angus looking at Jayna weirdly.

"Anyway, let's get out of here. It seems the last match is done." said Angus trying to change the topic.

"Okay, let's go." replied Jayna cheerfully.
