Isabella, Shirley, Fairy Aila Cherryweave, and Fairy Mei Novara looked at each other.
Each of their gaze was naturally sizing up each other, and Fairy Mei Novara couldn't help but feel a sense of heaviness as though a mountain was standing in front of her as she looked at Shirley. After all, the other party possessed King-Tier Blood while she was an ordinary Golden Phoenix.
The Earth Dragon Empress was also another peak, but as a phoenix, her gaze was stuck with Shirley.
Of course, there were hopes for her to become King-Tier as the inheritances held such treasures that have yet to be used and are going to be used for the Candidacy, so it was of some doubt if she would receive it, but if she did, then she felt like she could finally match her gaze with Shirley with the utmost confidence.
"The Divine Emperor of Death sends his regards to your well-being." Isabella spoke in a gentle voice, "Hopefully, you two weren't forced to make any decisions after you publicly announced your affection for him like that."
"Of course not. My Cherryweave Family isn't like that."
Fairy Aila Cherryweave giggled, appearing to not take offense.
"Is that so? That's good, as I felt my Emperor's threat made them wary enough not to make any foolish decisions instead."
"…"
Fairy Aila Cherryweave and Fairy Mei Novara blinked.
It wasn't like they were blue in their ears as they knew how the world worked, so they couldn't help but think that Isabella had a point as well.
"I apologize that my Emperor couldn't meet you, but today, the brides are the radiant luminaries that would shine on him. If there is anything else you would like to relay to him, then I can be the messenger."
Isabella stated while still having a light smile on her face.
"Tell him I hope to stand beside him on that stage one day."
Fairy Aila Cherryweave didn't even hesitate as her lips curled behind her veil. She was utterly alluring, but her height made Isabella feel like a teenager was playing a prank on her.
Despite being taken aback, Isabella nodded her head.
"Understood. I will relay your message."
She then turned to look at Fairy Mei Novara, who promptly spoke.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Thank you for saving me. I will never forget it. Please stay healthy and have a good life."
"…"
Isabella and Shirley blinked before they received her message.
Naturally, the delegates from the Cherryweave Family and Novara Clan of the Golden Phoenix Clan were here, so they also saw how the pearl of their eyes was receptive to a man, leaving them sighing in their hearts.
Particularly, the Cherryweave Family thought Fairy Aila Cherryweave would change her mind after seeing him marry his 'sixteenth' and 'seventeenth' wives, but she remained steadfast in her thoughts, making them wonder why it is like this for them.
Soon, they left.
Isabella and Shirley continued to send off the guests, although they were talking using soul transmissions.
"That girl still hasn't changed her thoughts. On the other hand, Fairy Mei still seems to be on the fence… or not. I can't tell. What do you think?"
"Well, I don't want any sisters anymore. It's honestly been tiring between Davis, the kids, cultivation, and looking after the other sisters. I don't know how I would fare if Esvele wasn't with me, but even she has become busy with taking care of the entire mansion. Nonetheless, if he wants to take them, then I wouldn't refuse. Let's leave it to him."
"You're right." Isabella nodded as she sent off the Earth Dragon Clan, "I just wanted to receive them before they could leave for the true immortal world. I mean, look… they are so beautiful than us back when we were mortals, and their initial talents have far outstripped us, so their room to grow will only be splendid. It would be a pity if we let such beautiful and loving women escape from our grasp."
"Heh, you're so like a doting Empress for him, wanting to get him more beauties."
Shirley giggled as she waved goodbye to Hirona and Sierra, promising to meet them later on.
"It's not like that." Isabella had her head lowered, feeling a bit exhausted over the pleasantries., "They're Celestial Fairies, publicly acknowledged beauties on top of having extreme talent. If not, I wouldn't be speaking for them."
"That's true." Shirley sighed and turned to look at the final guest leaving, "If I were a man, then I wouldn't have the heart to leave them to another man. They're so stunning and have a good level-headed character on their heads, making them deserving of love and care."
Shirley's voice was a bit agreeable, but she then narrowed her eyes.
"Then what about her?"
"…?"
Isabella raised her head, and her eyes quickly narrowed as Shirley's eyes did.
"Earth Dragon Empress and Fire Phoenix Queen. It seems like I'm late."
They watched Fairy Thunderblaze approach them as she spoke in a mesmerizing voice. It was extremely pleasant to hear, but they knew better than to fall for it, not to mention they still held some resentment over the things that happened between her and Davis even though they seemed to be fine for now, probably entering a cooperative relationship.
"Indeed. You are late." Shirley raised her chin.
However, her eyes carried shock as she felt a tremor in her instincts as she looked at Fairy Thunderblaze. Her lips couldn't help but twitch as she cupped her hands.
"Congratulations on possessing King-Tier Blood, Fairy Thunderblaze."
"Oh, it's nothing. I pulled a few strings for the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Clan, and they bestowed me with King-Tier Blood."
Fairy Thunderblaze's voice was mature and sexy as she gestured. Her sleeves gently swayed and flowed, and when she revealed her hands, there was a jade container resting on her frail-looking palms.
"Well, then, here's my gift for the wedding. I will make myself scarce, but I hope you will tell your Emperor that I'll be waiting in the Blazing Thunderlight Sect."
"…"
Isabella and Shirley eyed each other. Clearly, their displeased emotions should have been visible, but Fairy Thunderblaze didn't seem to care. Nonetheless, thinking the gift might hold something important for Davis, she accepted it and eventually sent her off after exchanging pleasantries.
"Ahh, so irritable." Shirley fumed.
"But she's powerful…" Isabella's gaze flickered, "She might have surpassed me despite only being at King-Tier."
"That's what is so irritable." Shirley appeared behind Isabella and groped, feeling the wonderful sensation of her peaks," Kill her~"
Isabella couldn't help but giggle as she knew what Shirley was pissed about.
Fairy Thunderblaze had Shirley beat when it came to size. Isabella even felt that if she didn't have milk, which made hers bigger, then she might have lost to Fairy Thunderblaze as well.
"Who knows? She's also officially a Celestial Fairy now, ranked first, and might not be a bad addition to tame as well."
Isabella's expression turned profound, causing Shirley to gawk.
"Ah… you just wanna play Empress while ordering your sisters around. You even have Bylai and Zestria under your command."
"I only order around bad sisters, and fortunately, we have none." Isabella proudly uttered, "And what do you mean play Empress? I am an Empress in both body and soul~"
"Hehe~ For an Empress, you're awfully submissive in bed..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You-"
Shirley slapped Isabella's ass and ran, leaving the latter red-faced. Still, Isabella smiled, feeling a sense of camaraderie with Shirley.
The two of them were innocent back then, but being with him and growing alongside him, they knew that they got heavily corrupted by his desires and their own.
Nonetheless, she turned around and went to contact Yotan to find out if the island was fully secure.
Shirley flew to Natalya's side, and they both thanked Esvele for overseeing the wedding celebration.
"Always a pleasure, senior sister."
Esvele bowed slightly, displaying her elegance.
Shirley smiled as her gaze fell on Esvele's huge bosoms that were reminiscent of Fairy Thunderblaze's. She couldn't help but want to squeeze and tease in revenge, but she closed her eyes and grabbed her shoulder.
"Esvele, since it's a good occasion, I'll tell you something. If you still feel guilty about what you did back then, then don't be. I forgave you long ago. You have a life ahead of you, so you should leave and care about your own life instead of spending all your time for me."
"..."
Esvele blinked before she responded, "Senior sister Shirley, everything I do is for you. If I can spend the rest of my life for you, then it would be my honor."
"Esvele..." Shirley's voice was worried, but Esvele continued.
"-was what I thought, but the pay here is too good for me to leave even if it were not for you, senior sister."
Esvele beamed and then told how much she received from Davis, causing Shirley's gazer to flicker.
"In that case, that's alright!"
Shirley and Natalya watched Esvele respectfully bow to them again before she commanded the hired female disciples to clean the mess around.
They both entered the mansion as they walked in the hallway before Shirley asked.
"Natalya, my romantic tutor, what do you think?"
"Let's see… she is quite the enigma to have survived this long without falling for him, which makes me want to see him topple her. However, if she's loyal to you and remains for the wage, I don't see anything wrong with it either."
Natalya blinked as she spoke and cast her gaze at Shirley, "I can see you caring for your junior sister as the more she remains here, the more people are going to think she is his woman, which might lead to misunderstandings if she were ever to leave here. It would be not good for her life."
"Mhm…" Shirley had a worried look on her face, "Every guest has seen her and knows her now as she was quite… phenomenal, but she's quite adamant about staying. I already warned her that I wouldn't be responsible if anything were to happen here or outside, even stating our divergence could get to her, but she remains adamant, perhaps faithful, so I'm not going to care anymore and believe that she chose the best choice she could make in her life."
She shook her head and left, leaving Natalya smirking ever so lightly before she also got back to supporting her soul body with energy as she got back to her room.
The bustling venue turned silent, but inside the mansion's master bedroom, a strange tension rose in the air, and an intimate storm might kick up in a minute or two.
