Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3944  Twin Phoenix Queens

With his judgment cast on the four people from the Eternal Twilight Imperial Family, Davis no longer bothered with them. As for the servants, Davis didn't care.

Whether they fulfilled their conditions or snitched on him mattered little to him as he had the power to strike back. The only issue was that he had to abandon the First Void Dust Sanctuary, as the number of people assuming that he was somewhere in the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm was already high.

Furthermore, the realm could be found easily since Shirley had appeared around three towns away from the Great Desolate Plains.

They would only have to trace Clara's path back to Highnode Town and from there to the Great Desolate Plains, and voila, the First Void Dust Sanctuary would be present there as long as they could search deep.

Stella was strong, but surely, her mini realm wouldn't be able to escape a Peak Empyrean's senses.

Davis thought about why Empyrean Miller Skyrend didn't appear or sent others to that place to check. After all, he had stayed in the Revera Town and Highnode Town for a while. The only answer he chanced upon was that they knew but were letting him swim for the time being.

He couldn't understand for what reason.

'It couldn't be that Empyrean Miller Skyrend was too afraid and bedridden that he failed to report, right?'

Davis narrowed his eyes.

He liked to think he had intimidated Empyrean Miller Skyrend to death, but that kind of thing wouldn't last long for someone with a strong Will. He didn't perceive Empyrean Miller Skyrend to be such a character, so he wondered if the Celestial Transcendent actually told the Heaven's Warriors not to engage with him unless he or someone like Autarch Elluro Coldwing was present.

It was pretty obvious that they understood that the Divine Emperor of Death could no longer be easily dealt with, so Davis thought only the big shots would try to take him down from now on. Perhaps they didn't think he could teleport from one place to another so quickly as they lacked information on Stella and didn't bother to check the Great Desolate Plains immediately.

After all, he couldn't have quickly crossed too many realms if he lacked spatial talismans of high value.

Either way, Davis knew it was only a matter of time before he met with the Heaven's Warriors again.

His gaze fell on Flamerose and Frostrose as he walked towards them.

For some reason, they were acting all distant, avoiding gazes with him.

Davis blinked before he realized.

"It's been a while, inheritance masters. I hope you all are safe and sound despite the fact that I'm late." He cupped his hands, starting the conversation with a light smile.

"Divine Emperor of Death-"

"Davis is fine."

Flamerose opened her mouth but was interrupted, causing her to hesitate before she nodded.

"Davis, we are grateful for being saved again. We twins have wanted to talk to you ever since we regained ourselves, but we couldn't because we got caught up in the Candidacy. However, we finally got the opportunity."

She spoke in a firm voice before her voice turned hesitant.

"Why did you revive us?"

"To use your prowess to protect ourselves from the advent of the Immortal King Vacuous Beast, something that was nearly impossible for us to defeat."

Davis smiled and continued, "Of course, if you two could come back alive, Shirley would love it. Therefore, you two have free will to do anything you want. You are not bound by anything."

Flamerose and Frostrose looked at each other. Could it be really just that simple? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, they knew Davis from their time as Zahara and Yeyin. They knew he really didn't have any intentions for them. That was kind of hard to believe because, from the moment they were born, all they were were tools to be used. The Auraflame Clan really didn't consider Frostrose one of them because she was born as an Ice Phoenix instead of a Fire Phoenix.

It was a mutation that was looked down upon.

Even if they could take advantage of their strength together to create something as terrifying as icefire, Frostrose was never praised. She was only hurled with insults.

No, it was better said they feared their potential and decided to sacrifice them to the Candidacy. Otherwise, they could've even become powerful Grand Elders with their icefire or even Matriarchs. In some powers, there was provision for twins to become rulers together if there was harmony between them and their powers.

After all, power was one of the deciding factors that let people sit in a position of status and influence. Having two harmonious heads to decide the fate of a power was also better than just one.

Remembering those days, Flamerose and Frostrose looked at Davis more favorably. He treated them with respect.

"We have nowhere to go." Flamerose stepped forward, "We wish for you to take us in."

"Of course, we're willing to work for you." She added passionately, "Let us join the Reaper Soul Legion and become glorious guardians if it needs to be."

"Seniors," Davis raised his hands and shook, "I respect and care about you too much to assign such roles. Although our time was short, I know you as close friends and, even more than that, our great benefactors. I am obliged to help you whenever I can. Only— we were waiting for your memories to return, so we're now glad to have you back."

"…"

Flamerose and Frostrose looked at each other again.

They felt appreciated by his words. Suddenly, they heard Davis continue with a solemn tone.

"I don't know if I'm right since I heard it from the supreme geniuses of the Auraflame Clan. It seems like your father and mother left the Auraflame Clan shortly after you two were sacrificed. Perhaps they grieved for you two."

"…"

The twins narrowed their eyes. Their gazes didn't look good.

Their father was ashamed of them and was gone as though he exiled himself, never returning or seeing them a single time. Their mother didn't know what to do and didn't pay much attention to them, especially Frostrose.

Flamerose and Frostrose were left alone to fend for themselves other than having a few caretakers because their parents had been rich.

The two of them clenched their fists as though they thought about their parents.

They only realize their worth after they are sacrificed?

"Heh~"

Flamerose scoffed as she looked away.

"Flamie…"

Frostrose raised her hand and placed it on Flamerose's shoulder, consoling her.

"We don't care about the two of them." Flamerose harrumphed, "They can regret all they want or think of us as good riddance. We don't care anymore. We will look forward and walk along with you."

She waved her hand and declared.

"…"

Davis raised his brows. Was that really the case? When they were Zahara and Yeyin, they seemed to crave their parent's affection slightly. But here, they were just the opposite?

Regardless, he nodded.

"I don't mean to pry, but I'm interested in knowing how the two of you were born, one as an Ice Phoenix and another as a Fire Phoenix in the womb of a Fire Phoenix mother. After all, it is said that an Ice Phoenix is a mix between a Blue Luan and a Fire Phoenix."

"…"

Once Davis said it, the others turned silent, their expressions blank or awkward.

After all, he was asking if their father got cucked by a Blue Luan while their mother was still pregnant with Flamerose. Magical beasts rarely gave birth to twins, even as they give birth to many progenies at the same time, so it was possible their mother was violated by a man or handled by two men at the same time. It was possible for two babies to be conceptualized from two different fathers at the same time.

It even happened in humans if they were to have strange physiques or deformities created by the environment. After all, this was not the First Haven World where human genes have been perfected and kept to a standard by a mysterious entity.

It was horrible, in their opinion, but they could see it happening as the immortal world was cruel. Failed births, like death upon birth, were also a thing.

Still, it was quite an insensitive thing to ask.
