The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1280

"Yes, I'm Edie, but I'm also Claire. To make this simpler for you, technically, Claire is my real body. I bet you only recognized me upon seeing my beast form and the Gale Fire, didn't you?"

Claire clarified.

"I knew it. So, that means that you two are the same person. Then that means... you are my old friend. But you wouldn't admit that you are Edie if I didn't ask you, right? Am I really your friend? How can you keep me in the dark all this time?"

Ricky said mockingly.

But of course, he was more curious about Edie's changes at that moment.

"Come on. You really got mad with that?" Claire responded.

"No, of course, I wasn't really mad about that. But there is something I want to know for sure. Are you a woman or a man? Most of all, how did you trick my Golden Spirit Eyes?" Ricky asked inquisitively.

"Whatever you want me to be. Do you want me to be a man or a woman?" Claire asked with a slight giggle. At that moment, her voice contained a hint of expectation as she was eager to know Ricky's reply.

"Ha-ha! But of course, I would prefer it if you keep your girl identity. I always like women more than I like male friends," Ricky replied teasingly

"You are such a playboy!" Claire commented playfully.

Upon hearing this, Ricky could not help but burst into loud laughter.

At that moment, he felt immense happiness that he was able to meet his old friend again.

Soon after, Claire began to divulge every single thing to him. She filled him in on the details of why she turned into a woman.

She was previously known as Edie and her father established the Wind-Mountain Alliance. On the other hand, her mother was a daughter of a Dominant Top Elder of the Mu Clan. Therefore, growing up, she enjoyed living a good and respected life in both the Wind-Mountain Alliance and the Mu Clan.

However, she was born a hundred years ago.

The Magic Ice had formed tens of millions of years ago, and this was where Claire had been sealed for about a hundred years.

During the time when Claire was born, a Polar Fish was also brought to life inside her body, giving its powers to her.

Meanwhile, Ricky and the Dragon Intent Grass were both shocked upon hearing her brief life story. "Wow, you even have the Polar Fish inside you!" the duo exclaimed in unison.

Being a warrior for many years, Ricky had already read tons of books. That was why he was familiar with the Polar Fish.

Now that he learned about the presence of this fish inside Claire's body, Ricky had finally understood why her gender had changed.

Generally speaking, the Polar Fish was known as a rare creature that was considered to be more precious than the Mandragora flower. Two Mandragora flowers could come into existence in an era—the Divine Mandragora and the Evil Mandragora.

However, only one Polar Fish could be born in an era.

Despite being very precious and of great value, the Polar Fish had no psychic intelligence and had no ability to fight the enemy.

On the plus side, it could help creatures be reincarnated successfully.

It was said that before a creature died, all of his memories would be poured into the Polar Fish, which would soon enter the void. Then, after some time, the dead creature would be reincarnated.

In other words, the creature would be able to start a new life.

But there was a catch: after being reborn, the creature would absorb the Polar Fish's feminine and masculine powers. Since it was impossible for a newborn to hold such strong powers, Claire had been sealed in the Magic Ice formed tens of billions of years. This happened so that the Magic Ice could suppress and absorb the feminine and masculine powers.

A hundred years had passed, and all the masculine and feminine powers had been absorbed. As a result, Claire had been freed from the Magic Ice's isolation.

However, due to the Polar Fish's complexity, she still faced another problem. The creatures that possessed the Polar Fish inside of them would exist in the world in their opposite gender for dozens of years. For example, if she was born as a girl, she would have to live as a boy for years since she was born.

With that being said, Claire had lived as a man for thirty years.

Since she was born as a female, she had appeared and lived her life as a man during her first thirty years of being reincarnated.

Meanwhile, Ricky burst out another loud laugh after hearing how Claire came to life.

"Okay, I get it now. The Polar Fish is to blame for what happened to you. So that's why you were able to fool my Golden Spirit Eyes! Ha-ha! That would explain why you acted effeminately even though you were a man. What can I say? On the bright side, consider yourself lucky! I mean, now you know how it feels like to be a man and a woman,"
