Chapter 2877 Scheming Woman?
"…"
Davis read the entire Blood Soul Contract with unblinking eyes. Only after he read did he blink. As Shirley said, there were some concerning points, but they weren''t that restrictive and would exist in any power.
However, he frowned. Was the Fire Phoenix n really not after Shirley in a predatory manner as he expected?
Was it just that idiot Lars Zenme wanting Shirley?
But, looking at Patriarch Killian Zenme''s smile, he inward shook his head. He could never trust that bastard''s smile. Although he had a facial structure that could be said to be drop-dead gorgeous for any woman, he could never trust that smile, but the point remained that he didn''t see any dislikeable points other than the use that she could remarry and have children, but that was also understandable.
Even his child was mentioned and was taken care of.
It seemed like the Blood Soul Contract was tailored to be truly fair on the ount that he had died. Or else, it was unknown what kind of restrictions they could have ced on him.
But still, he knew this would not convince Shirley as they just had some teaching from Ellia that things could always be…
"Is this a fake Blood Soul Contract?"
Shirley opened her mouth, asking the Fire Phoenix n without hesitation in her eyes.
Everyone turned to look at her as though they were looking at a foolish person.
Would the Fire Phoenix n dare cheat anyone here, much less a junior? With all the witnesses watching, would they go back on their words?
Even if they were to be the lowest of the low in the Phoenix Alliance, they could not possibly stoop that low. Even the other Phoenix ns were offended in their stead, wondering who this woman thought she was.
She wasn''t questioning the Fire Phoenix n but also the other phoenix ns, making them annoyed, even offended.
However, Great Ancestor Zenme only wryly smiled.
"Fourth Inheritor Shirley''s doubt is understandable since this concerns your future. However, fret not, as you have my word, this is a genuine Blood Soul Contract made from the feathers of an Immortal Emperor Beast Fire Phoenix of old times. These feathers have the hope of the Fire Phoenix n embedded in them, so it has all the more meaning to be used on this day to have your soul mark on it."
Shirley lightly nodded her head and then lowered it as she still thought about what to do.
She turned to look at Isabe and saw her shake her head as well, indicating that she didn''t see anything strange.
Turning to look back, she saw her sisters also shake their heads. No one noticed anything strange on the Blood Soul Contract.
"Is everything alright?"
Hirona asked in a soothing tone, causing Shirley to look at her wryly smile.
"You people win."
She shook her head, causing smiles to light up on every Fire Phoenix n member. However, the crowd wasn''t so joyous, feeling that something wascking. Where was the drama they were promised? Was the Emperor of Death truly dead?
It seems as though it is true.
Davis also scrutinized the Blood Soul Contract but couldn''t find anything strange with karmic gaze only for a single moment, but he didn''t see any karmic threads connected to it yet, which meant that it wasn''t active, obviously but if it was fake and connected to another Blood Soul Contract, it would be clear.
However, such a thing couldn''t be seen, leaving him sighing gently.
''Perhaps, there is no need for me to make a move, after all...''
Davis imagined. However, his expression scrunched, still unable to believe that he was drugged and had his seeds stolen. It was the most embarrassing moment of his life, period, making him feel like he must kill the perpetrator to get rid of this embarrassment.
Nheless, he saw Shirley raise her hand, about to sign the Blood Soul Contract. Her finger reached forward to the flying parchment when suddenly-
"Pfft! Ahahaha!" A resoundingughter echoed throughout the silent hall.
It seemed to have been suppressed at first since it exploded with such momentum, shocking all the people.
Just as they wondered who would dare tough like this at this important moment, they saw that it was the zing Thunderlight Sect''s Founder. She seemed to have gone crazy as she threw her head andughed crazily, her bosoms shaking along with her hectic movements.
"…"
Davis''s expression twitched. Everyone''s expression twitched.
What was wrong with this woman?
"Ah… ah… that''s right." She finally stoppedughing, seeming to catch her breath, "It smells. Smells… I dare you to sign that contract, Shirley whatever."
"…"
Quickly, Shirley''s brows frowned. What was going on?
"zing Thunderlight Sect''s Founder, would you keep your ramblings to yourself? Can''t you see that we''re at an important part?"
Great Ancestor Zenme frowned.
"Yes, yes~" The zing Thunderlight Sect''s Founder grinned, "This is an important part, very much so~ However, I wonder if she dares sign it. Amusing. Very amusing, indeed. Hehe~"
He frowned again, thinking that this was utterly distasteful, before turning to look at Shirley.
"Fourth inheritor, she''s just creating confusion and doubt in your heart. Please don''t be shaken."
"True, even back then, she was a scheming woman who everyone feared." Hirona voiced out before turning to look at another person.
"Third inheritor Sierra, have you met her?"
"No. Her time roaming around the First Haven World was short, but it seems the rumors about her were true."
"…"
Shirley gazed at the three of them and zing Thunderlight Sect''s Founder, thinking that the situation had be moreplicated than it was.
"Now, go on. Sign the Blood Soul Contract." The zing Thunderlight Sect''s Founder smirked as she reclined and put her legs over one another.
"Or, you can try burning it~"
"What!?"
"sphemy!"
"You dare state such nonsense!?"
Instantly, many people from the Phoenix Alliance started pointing at her and cursing her. However, the zing Thunderlight Sect''s Founder didn''t seem to mind, still smiling behind her veil against all the curses she received.
"Burn it."
Abruptly, a firm voice echoed out, causing the crowd to be silent.
"Saint…?"
Great Ancestor Zenme turned to look at Saint Mo Tian, his eyes blinking as he couldn''t believe what he had just worded out. The others also looked at him with shock, particrly the Starlight Jade Wolf King and Golden Crow n''s Patriarch, not expecting to open his mouth at this moment.
Davis raised his head, turning to look at the Fire Phoenix n.
"What? Does the Fire Phoenix ncks Blood Soul Contracts of the Immortal Emperor Grade?"
"Saint Mo Tian," The Fire Phoenix n''s Patriarch, Killian Zenme, stepped up, "I understand your genuine concern when ites to the safety of other people, but that isn''t the point. This Blood Soul Contract has received all the blessings-"
"Shirley, burn it."
Davis spoke again, causing Shirley''s gaze to flicker as she quickly turned around and reached out her hand.
*Ssszzz!~*
Scarlet phoenix mes surged out from her hands, flying straight toward the Blood Soul Contract.
*Bfff~*
However, a person abruptly appeared before the Blood Soul Contract, blocking Shirley''s fire phoenix mes as though they were nothing.
"…!"
Many people were shocked, seeing that it was Grand Elder Seil Zenme of the Fire Phoenix n. An Immortal Emperor had stepped in to protect the Blood Soul Contract from being burned, causing countless jaws to drop.
But at the same time, an elder from the Aurora Cloud Gate abruptly appeared before Shirley, catching Grand Elder Seil Zenme''s hands.
Shirley''s hands went wide, taking back her hand as she was also burning Elder Aradiel Furiose along with Grand Elder Seil Zenme, but as expected, her mes affected neither of them as theypletely ignored her, staring at each other.
"What''s the meaning of this?" Grand Elder Seil Zenme''s voice became cold.
"I could ask you the same thing. Why did you move when there were others nearby?"
Elder Aradiel Furiose asked in a calm voice, continuing to hold Grand Elder Seil Zenme''s hand. The other party was shocked, feeling the immense strength disallowing him to move his hand while extraordinary pressure also weighed down on him.
"Outrageous! Immortal Emperors are banned from making a move here. Both of you, step out!"
A Grand Elder from the Earth Dragon n appeared on the stage, but he was at the edge, roaring at the two of them as he tried to protect Isabe as he was also near to her.
"Burn…? You''re truly burning it…? Fine, if that''s what you want to be satisfied with… I''ll do it."
Great Ancestor Zenme kept nodding his head at Shirley as he walked towards the Blood Soul Contract. However, he was suddenly stopped by Patriarch Killian Zenme, his eyes having a cold look to them.
Instantly, Great Ancestor Zenme frowned.
"Do it." Hemanded when the sound of fingers snapping was heard.
*Sssz!~*
The Blood Soul Contract instantly lit up in phoenix mes from both sides, causing Patriarch Killian Zenme to be shocked as he turned to look back, gazing at Hirona and Sierra having both lit the Blood Soul Contract in mes from a distance.
At this moment, everyone couldn''t help but tremble, from the young Shirley to the high and mighty Great Ancestor Zenme, thetter trembling heavily before he opened his mouth wide and bellowed out loud.
"Killian, you bastard! How dare you!?"
As everyone saw the Blood Soul Contract that had been lit in phoenix mes, it didn''tpletely burn out but instead started revealing anotheryer of paper that revealed a new set of words.
