Chapter 2082 Consideration
Davis almost laughed at Shirley's sweet and shy expression, but he radiantly turned to look at the Fire Phoenix Mistress and moved his lips.
"What are the chances for failure, in which case it obviously ends up in her death?"
The Fire Phoenix Mistress blinked before she turned to look at the Ice Phoenix Mistress.
"Little sister?"
"With you here and us, the chances that she will survive infusion with my blood is less than twenty-five percent."
"What if we add this into the mix?"
"...!?"
Davis raised his hand as a grayish-white gaseous aura emerged from the tip of his finger, causing the Ice and Fire Phoenix Mistresses' pupils to dilate. They couldn't believe what they were seeing at this moment, their remnant souls shaking with intensity.
"Life Laws!"
"Human, you've shown us a pleasant surprise!"
The Ice Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix clamored, their voices echoing with elation and gratification. They looked at Shirley as though thanking her for having such a lover.
"This is truly fate..." The Fire Phoenix Mistress appeared highly convinced that it was the case.
"So?" Davis pressed, causing the Ice Phoenix Mistress to move its beak.
"If we include the help of Life Laws in the equation along with your prowess, Shirley's chances to survive are more or less guaranteed."
"So it's above fifty percent..."
Davis placed his hand on his chin and contemplated, not willing to play with Shirley's life. The chances for her survival may have drastically increased, but sometimes, with bad luck, even a ninety percent chance could produce a single failure out of ten times.
"Don't worry, even if you run out of soul force, I'll burn the last bit of my remnant soul to boost you. Since Shirley saved you using my soul, there should be no issues with our compatibility."
The Fire Phoenix Mistress assured Davis as she flapped her beautiful wings.
Davis wasn't surprised at the Fire Phoenix Mistress being alive because the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's remnant soul was also on the brink of fading away. From this, he knew it takes time for them to fade away, even if they bestow their soul essences, at which point they could choose to disperse or not disperse their remnant soul.
"No matter what happens or how busy we are, we'll look after Eterna and Isabella's child together. I promise."
"Mhm~"
Shirley nodded, standing on her toes as she grabbed his cheeks and plastered her lips on his, catching him off-guard as he didn't consider her to be this daring. Still, it only lasted for a moment before Shirley turned to look at the Fire Phoenix Mistress, her gaze brewing with determination.
"It seems like you have decided."
"Indeed," Shirley smiled, "I agree to this risky endeavor of you two immortal sisters."
"Fortune lies ahead to those who take risks, mostly. Even if you do not master Icefire Laws, just the combination of Ice Laws and Fire Laws you will be able to perform would be nothing to laugh at."
The Fire Phoenix Mistress laughed before she turned to look at the Ice Phoenix Mistress, "Frostrose, how about you give me face here and skip the trial? We all know Shirley is going to pass for her age and prowess, especially since she has my blood. It's like she already passed."
"Alright." The Ice Phoenix Mistress didn't hesitate to answer, seemingly having already thought of it.
"Haahaha~"
The Fire Phoenix Mistress heartily laughed as a door opened on the other end of the icy cave. However, it didn't lead to the trial site but straightaway to the Treasury where the Ice Phoenix's Blood Essence was located.
Shirley blinked at their enthusiasm before turning to look at Clara, an awkward smile appearing on her face.
"Let me take care of her." Davis sent a soul transmission, causing her to nod.
Shirley left while Davis arrived in front of Clara, his expression slightly worried for her.
"Clara, will you forgive us?"
Clara couldn't help but wave her hand, "Brother, there's nothing to forgive in the first place. If you two keep looking at me like that, then only will I feel down, even frustrated."
"Uhm... is that so?"
Davis lightly chuckled while Clara unceremoniously nodded. She didn't seem to have any misgivings over this matter but still feeling worried, Davis used Heart Intent to check her emotions, and what he found made him inwardly shocked.
'She's happy...? For Shirley...?'
He really couldn't understand her enigmatic outlook on the world, but now that he thought about it closely, Clara had been close to Shirley from the moment she met her. It was like they hit it off for some reason, and the likely reason he could think of right now was that Shirley was also a Divergent but not like him, not like an Anarchic Divergent.
The Ice Phoenix Immortal subtly spoke of how only Divergents could cause waves in the hearts of the possessors of the Transcendent Truth Eyes, meaning that he and Shirley had been a major factor. He didn't know for sure why, but he could guess because all those who were beside him had their fates changed. Some even cheated death and hence could be considered Divergents themselves but not included in the two categories of Anarchic Divergents and Tranquil Divergents, something even less than the latter.
'Then... Shirley must be a Tranquil Divergent for her to rattle Clara's heart like this... Tia too... but her physique puts her in the gray zone since it seems to be somewhat accepted by the heavens...'
Davis felt like he was grasping empty straws while thinking about this matter. Nonetheless, he walked her outside with a grateful smile and bid farewell, returning inside, but on the way back, his face turned somber, even a bit scary, as he recalled the matters Myria spoke about.
