Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2080 Regaining The Rights

The Fire Phoenix Mistress giggled like a carefree bird, causing Davis and Clara to blink while Shirley's eyes glimmered with wetness, a deep smile blossoming on her face as she knelt on her knees.

"Thank you. I have no words than those two words to offer for allowing me to carry out a swift rescue of-"

"Stand up, child."

A blazing wind erupted underneath Shirley, lifting her up before the Fire Phoenix Mistress turned to look at Davis, deeply examining his outlook.

"So he's your lover whom you were so desperate to save. Not bad… not bad… He's extremely strong but a bad choice nonetheless."

"UH? Why!?" Shirley looked slightly offended while the Fire Phoenix Mistress laughed it away.

"Because you love a Divergent. If you mingle with them, nothing good comes out of it as though it's a given. Mhm?"

Suddenly, the Fire Phoenix Mistress sounded off, suspiciously looking at Shirley.

"This aura… your yin is swelling in your body despite the power of my flames… Don't tell me you've given birth to a child already?"

"Ah~" Shirley hid her face in embarrassment before she moved her fists to her chin, looking shy, "I… I did."

"Screech!!!" A phoenix cry rang out excitedly, "That's wonderful, Shirley! One day, you must bring your child to me! I want to see!"

"I will! I will!" Shirley nodded her head, wiping her tears.

Davis's brows twitched as he saw the image of the dancing Fire Phoenix Immortal.

Somehow, the image of the noble Fire Phoenix in his mind was destroyed, but he didn't find it displeasing at all. In fact, he found it amusing and welcoming, causing him to chuckle. Moreover, it seemed like the Fire Phoenix Mistress encouraged Shirley to save him.

With the matters of Clan Marriages and Candidates haunting the inheritors, it really was a pleasant surprise these two phoenixes acted according to their values, forgoing such binding matters to personally help the individuals they liked. Perhaps, this was what the Ice Phoenix Mistress meant when she spoke about values and the person whom you were and who you become.

"Hey you, what are you smiling at? Shirley met with so many burdens to save you. If you don't look after her properly, I will kill you even if I have to step out of this damned immortal inheritance site!"

The Fire Phoenix Mistress clamored, her blazing crimson eyes flaming as her entire body lit up in flames, although it was just her remnant soul force spiking, carrying an extreme force that almost touched upon the limit of this world, provoking Davis to slightly widen his eyes although his smile still didn't fade.

"Don't worry. You have my word that I will take care of Shirley."

He resplendently smiled, radiating immense confidence, causing the Fire Phoenix Mistress to narrow her eyes. She turned to look at the Ice Phoenix Mistress, raising one of her brows.

"Little sister, what do you think?"

"I've already decided." The Ice Phoenix Mistress possessed a similar contemplative expression on her phoenix face, "What about you?"

"Well, I haven't said anything, but she came here again, and this time, even with her husband. This must truly be the workings of fate."

The Fire Phoenix Mistress nodded her head thrice like a pecking hen before she turned to look at Davis again.

"Davis Loret. From here on out, you're an active participant in the upcoming conversation, so pay close attention."

"Huh?"

A sound of bafflement echoed from Davis before he saw the two Phoenixes talk amongst themselves. It was just that they were using soul transmission that he couldn't hear anything, but a few seconds later, they both turned to look at them, their expressions solemn. However, before they opened their mouth, the Fire Phoenix Mistress glanced at Clara.

"Clara Loret. It is unfortunate, but we're sorry to say that you won't be able to attain the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance. You can leave if you want to."

Clara merely smiled, not surprised by their decision. There was neither disappointment nor sorrow in her face or her eyes as though she truly didn't care.

"Fire Phoenix Mistress, please do something about that and give back Clara, my friend and sister-in-law, her right to obtain the immortal inheritance." Shirley instantly took a few steps forward and pleaded, "Give me some face, and help me convince the Ice Phoenix Mistress-"

"Shirley, I understand your emotions, but this isn't a matter of face anymore." The Fire Phoenix Mistress slowly shook her head, "We have already made our peace with our decisions that prioritized ourselves rather than our clan but now, it is time that we prioritize our clan. All that is left is to gain approval from you and your husband."

"Wha- What do you mean?"

Shirley became confused.

If it was approval that they required to allow Clara to regain her rights, then she would give it without hesitation, but why would they need Davis's approval. She looked towards Davis and saw him frowning the same when she suddenly heard the Fire Phoenix Mistress's voice again.

"Shirley, you experienced love, gave form to that love, and now, there's almost nothing binding your maternal duties as a wife. I didn't want to burden you with this before, as we phoenixes take our other half seriously, but now that you've come here after clearing your maternal duties, it is as though fate is telling us to open a forbidden path that shouldn't be tread on."

"…"

In the sudden moment of silence, the Fire Phoenix Mistress's image shook.

"Shirley, I sincerely want you to inherit the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance."

"Huh?"

A sound of incomprehension echoed from Shirley's mouth while Davis's expression changed.

"Are you two crazy!? If she does something like that, then she will explo-"

Davis lashed out, but he suddenly froze, realizing something preposterous yet probable at the same time.

"Indeed," The Ice Phoenix Mistress expounded, "Because we're sisters, no, twins of the same blood, born from the same womb, it is possible for the inheritor to inherit our blood of different nature. If lucky, even inherit what is supposed to be a terrifying Supreme Law, the fusion of Ice Laws and Fire Laws, Icefire Laws."

"…!?"
