Chapter 788: Awakening the Phoenix Bloodline?
The White Tiger Great Demon King glanced at the Undying Great Demon King and said, "If it were not for you, I would have thrown him out long ago. I have spared his life merely out of respect for our Ancestral Court and the nation. What more is there to say."
Lin Ximo gave a bitter smile, "You're right, everything is my fault. I accept the punishment. But there are some matters for which I still need to seek your advice, to see if they might be possible. This concerns Little Beauty's future."
"You still have the face to mention Little Beauty?" The White Tiger Great Demon King slammed his palm down on the table, shattering a top-grade Spirit Stone Table to dust.
"Calm your anger, Brother White Tiger, calm your anger," the Undying Great Demon King hastily advised.
The White Tiger Great Demon King glared at the Undying Great Demon King and angrily said, "Do you know the sordid things he's done?"
The Undying Great Demon King gave a wry smile, "I didn't know before, only found out recently. Otherwise, how do you think I cast my approval vote? No matter what, Little Beauty also has our Phoenix Tribe bloodline in her, how could I not support my own clansman?"
The White Tiger Great Demon King scoffed and said, "Don't give me that. During the first challenge, it was a Great Demon Emperor from your Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe who was sent out. You are simply supporting her because you see that Little Beauty has great talent."
Tang San had already thoroughly analyzed the intentions of this Undying Great Demon King.
The Undying Great Demon King said with some resignation, "That's not the way to say it. After all, the Heavenly Fox is the main steward of the Ancestral Court. When he came to me, I had no reason to object. After all, it's not good to publicly reveal Little Beauty's origins! It affects everyone. But ultimately, didn't Little Beauty succeed in her report for duty?"
The White Tiger Great Demon King snorted coldly and said, "Fine, I'll give you some face. Lin Ximo, say whatever it is you want to say, and do it quickly. I don't want to see you."

The helpless Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor Lin Ximo said, "Your Majesty White Tiger, here's the situation. I have consulted with the Phoenix Lord. Little Beauty is indeed my flesh and blood, and she carries on our Phoenix Clan lineage. Yet, her Phoenix Bloodline has been stripped away by the Peacock Great Demon King. I want to try to reawaken her Phoenix Bloodline. With the Phoenix Lord present, it won't affect her current Peacock Bloodline. If successful, she would have another source of bloodline power."
The White Tiger Great Demon King laughed, but his smile was cold as ice, "What a calculated move you all are making. Do you think Little Beauty will actually acknowledge her ancestry and return to the clan?"
The Undying Great Demon King sighed and said, "Brother White Tiger, don't be so quick to reject the idea. Listen to me. You're right; of course, we hope that Little Beauty will acknowledge her ancestry and return. I admit, first of all, her talent impressed me. But at the same time, you also know, Brother White Tiger, that our Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan are the races that have the most difficulty producing offspring. No matter how strong an individual is, it doesn't change the difficulties we face with our lineage. Every additional clansman is a great joy for the Phoenix Tribe. Little Beauty is already a part of our Phoenix Clan, and if she is willing to return, that would be the best. If she is not willing, we won't force her, but we at least hope that she can truly inherit the Phoenix Tribe bloodline. That way, no matter what, she won't be an enemy of the Phoenix Clan in the future. Ximo indeed did wrong in the past, so we do not expect immediate forgiveness; that can be assessed in the future. For now, we just hope that Little Beauty can repossess the Phoenix Clan bloodline."
After hearing the words of the Undying Great Demon King, the White Tiger Great Demon King couldn't help but frown. This was actually a good thing for Pretty Girl.
To say nothing of the rest, the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan is powerful, a fact known to all. Whether it's the Crystal Great Demon Emperor or the present Undying Great Demon Emperor, they are both top-tier powerhouses, testimony to the strength of the Dragon and Phoenix bloodlines.
Moreover, if Pretty Girl awakens the bloodline of the Phoenix Demon Clan, then in the future, the Phoenix Clan will not be her enemy. This would be a positive aid in securing her position as the City Lord of Jiali City. Naturally, it would also greatly benefit her in reporting her qualifications to become an Emperor. This is the support of two Emperors. The entire Ancestral Court at present only has a total of fifteen Emperors, after all.
So, this isn't a bad thing, the only problem is whether I can get over the mental hurdle. Was my daughter's grievance in vain?
Seeing that the White Tiger Great Demon King remained silent, Lin Ximo understood there was a chance and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency White Tiger, I absolutely do not insist that Little Beauty acknowledges me. I don't have the qualifications to be her father, but helping her awaken the Phoenix Bloodline is purely beneficial and not harmful. We don't ask for anything in return, it's just my way of atoning. Please grant us this favor."
The White Tiger Great Demon King waved his hand, stopping him from continuing, and said solemnly, "Promise me one thing, and I will let you see Little Beauty. However, whether she agrees to awaken the Phoenix Bloodline is up to her. If she disagrees, whatever you say will be in vain, and I won't force her."
"Please speak," the Crystal Phoenix Great Demon King said eagerly, hastening to respond.
As long as Pretty Girl's Phoenix Bloodline could be awakened, they would naturally have an easier time cozying up to the Phoenix Clan in the future. They would have the opportunity to win them over. The awakening of the Phoenix Bloodline indeed held only advantages for Pretty Girl, and this was the reason they dared to come.
The White Tiger Great Demon King said solemnly, "My condition is, no matter whether she forsakes her Human Clan identity or not, when she becomes an Emperor, you all must support her unconditionally."
The Undying Great Demon King said firmly, "As long as she can awaken the Phoenix Bloodline, I agree."
As the current Phoenix Lord, his agreement represented the entire Phoenix Demon Clan.
The White Tiger Great Demon King's expression softened as he nodded and said, "Very well, then wait a moment, I will ask for her opinion. If she is strongly opposed, I can't force her."
"Of course, of course," the Crystal Phoenix Great Demon King, despite being an Emperor, appeared somewhat ill at ease at this moment, which revealed his inner tension.
Ever since he found out that he actually had a successor, that he had a daughter, his emotions had been like a roller coaster. In recent times, he often had sleepless nights, frequently pondering past events. His heart was filled with regret, and he now felt that if he could do it all over again, upon learning of Su Qin's pregnancy, he would have given up the pursuit of being an Emperor and done everything possible to be with her.
During the day when Pretty Girl was presenting her work, he watched her face one challenge after another, and his heart was in extreme turmoil. Pretty Girl's excellence filled him, her actual blood father, with pride and an overwhelming flood of paternal love.
However, he also knew Pretty Girl could never acknowledge him, for in her eyes, he was the murderer of her "father". So he had endured, but in the end, he still sought out the Undying Great Demon King, suggesting that he hoped to help Pretty Girl awaken her Phoenix Bloodline, asking him to accompany him as an advocate. In truth, whether Pretty Girl awakened the Phoenix Bloodline or not was not his main concern; more than anything, he just wanted to meet her privately. He sadly realized that he had never had a private meeting with his own daughter. Now, all he wanted was to take a good look at his daughter.
When the White Tiger Great Demon King arrived in the minor realm, Tang San and Pretty Girl were cultivating together. Their figures were separating and merging, with the bloodline power blending and coordinating more and more tacitly. Various abilities were also emerging endlessly. Even for someone with the cultivation base of the White Tiger Great Demon King, it was necessary to use divine consciousness to capture their movements at that moment.
He now had a certain understanding of Tang San's strength, and Tang San's potential gave him a sense of endlessness. Especially during their battles, he could feel Tang San was still getting stronger. In particular, his eight kinds of bloodline abilities, through recent cultivation, had started to be arranged and combined in various ways. This was the most terrifying aspect. There were numerous ways to arrange these eight kinds of bloodlines, and it was even possible to merge up to three types of bloodline power simultaneously.
