Naturally, like the Holy Dragon Empire and the Timber Deity Empire, the Magic Phoenix Empire was
also supported by a high-level spiritual race—the Phoenix Master Clan. It was said that the Phoenix
Master Clan and the Dragon Master Clan came from the same clan. But because of their
disagreements, they were divided into two different clans. After being divided, the Phoenix Master Clan
became an all-female clan, with no male spiritual beings involved in their group. As a matter of fact, the
female spiritual beings of the Phoenix Master Clan were considered to be more thriving than the
ordinary spiritual beings because they had the ability to give birth to their offspring in some unique way
without the need for sex.
Female power dominated the Magic Phoenix Empire, and this would not be possible without the
support of the Phoenix Master Clan. Since their independence, the ruler of the Magic Phoenix Empire
had always been a female, and those who supported the ruler were female ministers in all ages.
Moreover, people in every corner of the Magic Phoenix Empire saw women as noble, while men as
slaves. In fact, the Magic Phoenix Empire was a matriarchal empire where women were seen as
authorities, while men were seen as worse than pathetic dogs.
After entering the border of the Magic Phoenix Empire, Rocky and his two associates all put on their
disguise to make them unnoticeable. In this way, they could easily avoid any trouble that could get in
their way. And of course, this made Rocky suffer a lot.
Meanwhile, there was a vast city located in the northeast of the Magic Phoenix Empire, which was
called the Blood Phoenix City.
At that moment, two women and a man walked distinctly on one of the bustling streets on the Blood
Phoenix City, attracting a lot of attention from passers-by.
Needless to say, they were Rocky, and the two women—Sabina and Lucilla.
Both of these two women were dressed in exotic clothes at that time. Despite their faces being covered
with veils, they were not able to hide their innate characters. Therefore, all eyes were focused on them
wherever they went.
On the other hand, Rocky wore an ordinary dress, along with a shackle clamped on his left hand. At
that moment, Sabina dragged him so that he would look like the ordinary men on the street, fawning on
his two masters.
"I never thought that the Magic Phoenix Empire will be this freaky. And why should a man be treated
like a dog here? Has the world turned upside-down?" Rocky couldn't help but protest the aching status
of men in this country. At that moment, there was nothing he could do but look sympathetically at those
men around him who had suffered the same as him.
"Because men are trash!" Sabina said in a sarcastic tone.
"You don't have a choice, Rocky. You have to put up with it. Don't worry. We don't have to pretend
anymore after we leave this place." Lucilla gave Rocky a soft gaze as she felt sorry for what he had to
go through.
"Oh, Lucilla, don't pity him. You don't know how hateful and arrogant this guy used to be. It's not easy
for us to have a chance to make him suffer. Make the most of it and don't waste it," Sabina said as if
she held a grudge against him since long before. In fact, she even intentionally pulled the shackle
around Rocky's hand, making him stagger a few steps forward.
"Oh, when are we going to meet your uncle?" Rocky rolled his eyes at Sabina and inquired.
"It's tonight," Sabina responded simply.
"That's good news. I mean, it's a good thing we don't have to stay overnight in this place. The Magic
Phoenix Empire is really not a place where men can stay peacefully. Look at this place. This is the
paradise for women, and one wretched hell for men..." Rocky shifted his gaze at the women coming
and going around him with disdainful eyes. At that moment, he felt that these women saw him no more
than a useless dog. He was so traumatized that he wasn't able to speak a single word after that.
On the other hand, the two women couldn't help but giggle at Rocky's complaints.
To him, things would be more bearable if the two women didn't laugh. As soon as they let out a laugh,
all eyes were on them. This happened only because the two women were so charming.
Suddenly, a bunch of female guards led by a seemingly strong woman encircled them. In fact, she was
more muscular than any ordinary man if people didn't look at her chest and face.
"Hello there, gorgeous ladies. Are you interested in attending the imperial concubine selection?" The
sturdy woman locked her eyes at Sabina and Lucilla with a drooling look. It seemed that the veil didn't
do its job much because their faces could still be seen, or it was just that they were too pretty to be
unnoticed.
"Sorry, but we are not interested," Sabina replied indifferently.
"Being the empress' concubines is tantamount to endless glory and wealth. As for this kind of slave you
have, you can have as many as you want. Just say the word," the woman said seductively while
pointing at Rocky.
"We are contented with him," Lucilla responded lightly. Soon after, Sabina tugged Rocky's shackle as
she wanted to move forward.
However, the woman's face suddenly changed upon hearing what Lucilla had said. At that moment, the
head guard waved her hand, and the group of female guards surrounded the three people in no time.
"Oh, this is getting interesting." Rocky raised his eyebrows. Without a doubt, it was true what other
people said about the Magic Phoenix Empire being a place full of "exotic charm". He had heard stories
of men robbing women in the streets in broad daylight, but he had never heard of women robbing
women in general.
"What do you mean?" Sabina stared at the sturdy woman coldly.
"It's simple. I just want to invite you two beautiful women to go back with me and meet our governor. Is
that too much to ask?" the woman asked with a disgusting smile on her face.
"So, you mean to say that there is no room for negotiation?" Sabina responded coldly.
"Don't be shy. For sure, the two of you will definitely be chosen. And that's good because it will benefit
us both." Obviously, the woman wanted to take the opportunity to get some benefits, so she wanted to
grab them publicly.
At the time, Sabina and Lucilla looked at each other, as if they had already reached an agreement
without really talking. Soon after, the two women grabbed each of Rocky's strong arms. At the same
time, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they flew past everyone around, disappearing quickly
without a trace.
"Are they spirit manipulators? Something doesn't smell right with these three. Seize them..." The
woman immediately waved her hand and led the female guards to chase after the three.
On the other hand, Rocky, Sabina, and Lucilla had reappeared a few blocks away. After seeing that no
one was on their tail, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that beauties like you two are quite popular in the Magic Phoenix Empire! Both of you are
wearing a veil, yet are still recognized at a glance. It's not your fault you're too beautiful, but somehow, I
think that's a disadvantage. Next time when you go out, you'd better wear an ugly mask. You know,
something like a monster," Rocky said to the two women playfully.
"If you don't speak, then no one will take you as a mute!" Hearing that, Sabina and Lucilla glared at
Rocky, pretending to be mad at his joke.
Rocky just shrugged his shoulders and smiled from ear to ear.
At that moment, Sabina noticed that the sun was setting and it was already getting dark. She said at
once, "Now is the time to meet Uncle Allen."
Not long after, the three of them moved and disappeared.
Meanwhile, in a forest a mile away from the Blood Phoenix City, the three of them managed to meet
Allen without any hurdles.
"Your Royal Highness, greetings." Allen bowed to Rocky as soon as he saw his shadow.
"Well, Allen, we don't need to be too formal and courteous. Don't forget that we are as close as
brothers..." Rocky smiled as he waved his hand.
"I really don't deserve this honor. I didn't know that you were a prince. Please, forgive me if I have ever
offended you before!" To be honest, Allen had no idea that Rocky was Prince Basil when they first met.
Now that he knew it, he found it odd to refer to him as a brother.
"Allen, don't waste your time being so respectful. I'll still treat you as my brother. And also, please call
me Rocky," Rocky said with a frown.
Hearing the prince's request, Allen nodded at once.
