Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1794

Mo Mingzhi pouted with a scrutinizing gaze as she complained.

"I bet you were with some woman... Let me guess... Evelynn?"

Davis reached out his hand and fondled her lush black hair, finding her adorable.

"Nope."

Mo Mingzhi couldn't help but find this matter doubtful as she turned to look at the two others. Lea Weiss and Tina Roxley, these two loners were here, so it couldn't be them, and she had just left the others. Everyone was present while Evelynn was missing, so it could only be...

"Holy heavens! You were with Zestria!"

"I'm not playing with her. I'm serious."

"I see..."

Mo Mingzhi smiled at him and his solemn gaze, finding him adorable. In her mind, she knew that he was easy, but only after they opened up his heart towards them. Otherwise, he was as hard as an Emperor Grade Ore to crack, but definitely not Immortal Grade as he wasn't heartless or apathetic.

"She... Isn't she your slave...?"

Lea Weiss asked with a complicated expression on her face.

"I never enslaved her in the first place. It was Shirley who enslaved her, but that was self-defense as she had a baby. Besides, when I accepted Zestria, she wanted me more or less..."

"No, I wasn't asking that. You're free to do whatever you please to her as I'm aware of the wrongdoings the Domitian Family committed against you and Isabella, but..."

Lea Weiss bit her lips.

"Won't the world say that a mere slave seduced you...?"

"Pfft!~"

Davis couldn't help but instantly chuckle on hearing that, causing Lea Weiss to blink.

"Come on, Lea. Who gives a crap about what the world thinks? Live true to your heart and values. Although the latter might change over time, just don't do something that will make you regret your actions later. For us, I won't let you regret becoming my woman. I swear."

"..."

He reached out his hand and caressed her cheek, causing Lea Weiss to blush like a young woman. The fact that two other women were watching her didn't seem to help as it made her blush even more. However, she didn't move away nor resist as she let him caress her with a complex expression on fer face.

"Come, Tina." Davis reached out his other hand and smoothly grabbed Tina Roxley's wrist, causing her to blink.

"Let's go inside. You all are too formal to be waiting outside my room."

He grabbed Lea Weiss's soft hand on the other and walked them into his room.

From the side, Mo Mingzhi appeared smug.

"Well, I insisted, but they didn't go inside, so I was forced to wait. Otherwise, I would be seen as crass like before..."

"Haha, you two should learn a thing or two from Mo Mingzhi but don't become impertinent like her."

"You're asking for death!"

"Hehe~"

Tina Roxley couldn't help but giggle, which caused Lea Weiss to also smile with a bit of satisfaction.

The life she imagined after coming here was one of sore feelings and loneliness even though she felt that she should strive and earn his love and trust, but his women refused to leave her unaccompanied. One of them always approached her for her knowledge and bravely asked for anything they wanted to hear, making her wonder if his confidence spread to them as well.

And then, Mo Mingzhi always made the others smile with her silly antics. It was as though she was intentionally playing the dumb woman role to make them laugh.

When they opened the door and went inside, a wave of spatial energy hit their faces, causing them all to blink as they looked at the Spatial-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source.

"Yes, I was comprehending Spatial Laws with Clara and Tia before they left, but no longer have time to continue."

Davis waved his hand, and the Spatial-Attributed Vein Source disappeared.

"I know a bit of Spatial Laws..."

Lea Weiss rubbed her cheek in embarrassment as she didn't want to come off as bragging.

"Oh? What's your level?"

"Elementary Spatial Intent with nine minor resonances..."

"As expected of the Burning Phoenix Ridge's Sect Master."

Davis widened his eyes as he looked at her with praise while the others couldn't also help but admire her.

She was only a step away from reaching Level One Intent in Spatial Laws.

To reach Level One in a Greater Law isn't an easy feat. That's far harder than reaching Level One Abstruse Intent in Primary Laws like Fire and Water Laws. Davis knew this because he could only slowly comprehend Death Laws at a snail's pace without all those death aura lurking in the scene.

Despite having such a powerful spatial prowess in her hands, he had never seen her nor heard of her use it, meaning that she was hiding it as her trump card. Nevertheless, since her Fire Laws were more powerful, he knew that she didn't feel the need to use them as well.

He also knew that Lea Weiss's Fire Laws had reached Level Five Abstruse Intent, a shy away from reaching Level Six Abstruse Intent.

This was due to absorbing three drops of Fire Phoenix Immortal's Blood Essence.

It was only a matter of time before she reaches Level Six Abstruse Fire Intent, and with enough energy, he mused that she should be able to reform her Rune, ultimately increasing her prowess to once again deal with the heavenly tribulation, but this time, he wondered if she would stay at her level or increase her all her cultivation systems to Peak-Level, which will bring the heavenly tribulation's prowess a level higher.

This means that Lea Weiss would have to face a heavenly tribulation that's four levels higher than her cultivation base that she could only try to cross while struggling against it instead of facing it with ease as she did before. The Heart Demon Tribulation wouldn't be a problem either as she was now together with him.

However, he didn't say anything and left that to her decision, but the fact that she revealed this to him told the volumes of trust she placed in him, causing him to become moved.

Davis thought for a moment before he gave the Spatial-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source to Lea Weiss.

"Here, you should use this to reach Level One Intent in Spatial Laws."

He presented her with a spatial ring, causing Lea Weiss to freeze.

"Don't bother with formalities. You tend to gain the most out of all of us with this resource. I'm merely being efficient, that's all..."

"He's hoodwinking you. Don't believe him." Mo Mingzhi suddenly piped in from the side, "He knows one of many ways to get into your heart more is to grant you many resources."

"Ah, Mingzhi. Why are you making this difficult for me?"

Davis looked as if he was going to cry while Mo Mingzhi grinned at him. On the other hand, Lea Weiss couldn't tell if they were playing or talking for real. While she was thinking, Davis shoved the spatial ring into her hands and patted her shoulder.

"Alright, everyone. Be ready to have your soul cleaved to create your avatar. The experience would be immensely painful, but I'll help you all mitigate it to a degree. Who's going to be first?"

He quickly moved the topic in a commanding tone, causing Lea Weiss to be unable to retort or say anything to his actions. She wanted to give it back to him as her lips moved.

"I'll do it."

Lea Weiss spoke but then became flabbergasted. This isn't what she wanted to say.

"Good, then take a seat anywhere. I'll support you while having a finger on your forehead."

Davis nodded heavily and waited for her. Things were progressing so fast that Lea Weiss didn't have any time to think what had happened before she felt compelled to follow his commands as she walked towards the bed and comfortably sat.

Davis looked at her actions and inwardly smiled in satisfaction.

'Misdirection is growing powerful...'

He knew that Lea Weiss would definitely deny his help, for her pride would not let her agree to be pampered again and again. After all, he had already healed her almost incurable injuries that were caused by heavenly lightning, not to mention that she received the three drops of Fire Phoenix Immortal's Blood Essence as a freebie from Shirley even though it was something gained out of a deal by Ancestor Cornelia.

If she was the woman he imagined she was, then he knew that she would be unwilling to receive his help.

Therefore, he used Misdirection on her to accept it, just like making her fall into a trance to accept his words. Of course, she should be acceptable in the first place.. Otherwise, she could easily notice.
