New law of Beast Taming

Everyone was stunned when Elder Hana's body busted out into blue flames. No one expected the sudden attack that happened and it left them speechless.

"Weak and pathetic insects should not raise their head against their betters. That's the first rule of survival in the wild. But I can see how a spoon-fed beast could forget about its nature."

The sound of high heels meeting the floor produced a loud clicking noise. People could not help but turn toward the door where the newcomers were entering from.

One of their guests had a very familiar face. Charlie Suzuki was iconic with her foxlike ears and her shrewd eyes. The elders wanted to curse her as soon as they saw her.

But it was the other female in the room that made them freeze in their places and give pause. It was a beautiful woman with long reddish-blond hair and fair skin.

She would have been classified as a beauty if not for her pupilless eyes staring at the elders. Having such an odd pair of eyes stare at them made them nervous. There was something not human about her. Read latest chapters at empire

"It looks like we arrived at the wrong time, Yoko. I apologize for this, but my companion insisted on meeting you as soon as possible. I was not able to stop her."

Amane looked at the newcomers with a surprised expression on her face. She had been wondering about the identity of the one who forced Charlie to arrange this meeting.

At first, she had not been able to think of anyone significant enough who could force Charlie into anything. But now that she knew the identity of the creature that forced Charlie, it made so much sense.

The divine guilt was an organization bonded to the divine beasts and their will. Most of its power was based on the will of the divine as well.

So, when a divine beast asked for anything, they had to consider its wishes.

And among all divine beasts, Ariana had been one who had been the closest to humans. When Amane had been alive, she had taken to visit her once every two months.

Amane would even go as far as to say that they both had been extremely close. And Amane had also made a promise to Ariana.

"So, you are the human who woke me up? You look…like a human. But your energy sure is familiar. Can we talk alone?"

Ariana practically ignored everyone else in the room when she talked to Amane. The elders felt angry at being ignored and they wanted to protest.

But what could they say in front of the divine leader and her partner? Whatever they say would be used against them later.

Finally, Elder Hao decided to interfere and carve out an escape.

*Cough*

"It looks like our family head is busy with other matters. We would all like to retire for the night now. Now, please excuse us all."

Elder Hao announced before he felt the hall. His disappointment was immeasurable and his day had been ruined as soon as he had found out the truth about Elder Hana.

He had thought that he had gotten his hands on a way to get immortal. But the truth was far from it.

Once Elder Hao took his leave, it did not take long for other people to take their leave as well. The hall became empty in a record-breaking three minutes.

"They all seem like cowards. Anyway, Yoko, I am not sure if you realized this or not, but this creature here is a phoenix. She might be the last of her kind as well."

That was a piece of information Amane could believe.

Phoenixes were rare back in her day as well. The passage of time seemed to not have favoured the beasts in terms of population or ability. It was still as tough for them to live as ever.

"I might be the last of my kind but that would not be the case for much longer. My egg is the reason I am here to discuss something with you."

As soon as Amane heard those words, she knew the reason Ariana was here for.

Once upon a time, Amane had promised to carry Ariana's egg for her when it was time. Phoenixes were unable to incubate their eggs for long.

As soon as they laid their eggs, they burned into ashes and were reborn somewhere else on the earth. It took them a few years to regain their memories and their spawn location was random as well.

It was no wonder that Ariana was looking for someone trustworthy to lay down her egg.

"Ah, I now see the reason you are here for. In that case, we should go in and discuss this with each other. I am sure we have a lot to discuss with each other."

......…

As soon as they all had settled down on the couch, Amane had called for Sakura and Eclipse as well. They both needed to learn more about the beasts.

Ariana had quickly explained the situation to them both and Sakura had given an instant rejection of this idea.

"Not. Have you gone mad? Do you want Yoko to carry your egg for about a year before it hatches? That is beyond unthinkable. Find someone else and…"

"Sakura, calm down. This decision is not in your hand so you have no right to speak."

Amane gave Sakura a disappointed look that caused her to settle down. But it did not look like she still liked the idea.

"You…are you just going to sit there and do nothing? Do something to stop them both from making this foolish decision, Charlie Suzuki. Do you want this to happen?"

Sakura changed her target from Yoko to someone who shared the same feelings about this topic - Charlie Suzuki.

Charlie wanted to agree with Sakura and say that this was a stupid idea that should not be even considered. But she was restricted by her position.

"I can't say that I am happy with this development, but I do agree that it is for the betterment of the beast race. It is seldom for a phoenix to be matched with a human like this. So, we need to consider their union at such a point in time."

Sakura shook in her place. She refused to believe that this was happening.

"Sakura, this is my decision. You don't have a say in this anyway. And I do want to consider this offer of carrying a phoenix's egg. After all, it will only need to be incubated inside my body for one year."

Amane had no experience incubating eggs inside her body but she had heard of humans capable of this. Those who had been given this opportunity were close to beasts they incubated for.

She was not close to Ariana as 'Yoko' Tsurugi but she could tell that Ariana recognized her soul.

"In that case, it has been decided. When do you plan on starting your preparation for this transfer?"

Charlie asked the question with a sour voice. This was not something she could stop any longer. She could only accept her fate and look forward to being with Yoko later.

"The sooner we start, the better it will be for my health. I don't have a lot of time left."

Ariana admitted with a pained voice. She wanted to spend some quality time with the carrier of her eggs before she died. There was so much they had to discuss as well.

Everyone tensed up when they heard the Phoenix's words. But Yoko Tsurugi acted first and stood up.

"In that case, please follow me and I will give you a few blankets to make a nest out of. I don't have a lot but it should be enough to sate your instincts."

Had Amane known that would happen, she would have kept a lot of unscented and fresh pillows and blankets on hand.

But now, she would have to do with what she had in storage.

"This is not right. I am not leaving you with a beast all alone. I would like to keep watch on you both while you do the deed. Don't worry, I can take it."

Sakura was still not over her annoyance and ended up proposing this. The phoenix tensed up and a growl build up in her throat.

"Sakura, are you sure? You would have to stay out of the nest and watch from outside until given permission. Are you sure you will be able to endure it all?"

Sakura gulped her nervousness down. She hated that Yoko's words made her hesitate now but she had made up her mind she was going to stand guard for Yoko and watch her and the phoenix go at it.

As soon as the phoenix did anything out of line, Sakura was going to drag Yoko out and have an excuse to not let her do this deed. And if not, well, Sakura would be unhappy but she would have more fapping material.
