Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1973

Davis looked at Mingzhi's dumbfounded expression, possessing an evil expression on his face while thinking to himself that he was more shameless and would play her to admitting defeat if she wanted to play. However, he couldn't understand why she would want to play a prank on him like this.

Even if she wants to tease him, it shouldn't be at the expense of Schleya's chastity, right? Unlike most wicked path women he had seen, he knew that this woman cared about her chastity as she cried when he was about to scare her the day they met.

If Schleya were to suddenly wake up and see this scene, she might take out of those two crimson blades and make his hand into mincemeat even if she felt gratitude towards him.

Gratitude and romantic attraction were different after all. Besides, he had already closed himself as the issue of warning from his council of harem had been announced. His focus was only on getting back Ellia at the moment, while he could only feel guilty to be grabbing Schleya's bosom like this, but what's done was done.

He inwardly swore to get back at Mingzhi for this on another day and treat Schleya better.

In five minutes from the start of the treatment, Davis healed her blood essence to ninety-eight percent. To condense more blood essence was possible, but it would take him more soul force and time. However, with the battle with Myria at hand, he didn't dare to be careless.

Davis and Mingzhi looked at each other before they nodded simultaneously.

*Whoosh~*

Their hands got off from Schleya's bosom when her eyes suddenly shot wide open.

Schleya's crimson eyes quickly caught Mingzhi and Davis by her side, both of them looking at her with a dubious smile, but she wasn't aware enough to capture that and sat up. She felt a strange feeling in her heart but also on her bosom that she couldn't explain somehow.

But then, her expression quickly changed.

"My blood essence…"

Schleya touched her bosom, feeling her heart beat normally. However, by practicing Blood Laws, she could almost accurately tell how much she lost and how much she had to regain. She possessed a few clues as to how to restore her blood essence, but now, she was shocked to find that her blood essence had already been restored for the most part.

She found it inconceivable before she almost jumped from being startled.

"How many days have passed? Is it months?"

Was she taken care of so much time while she was asleep?

But she thought about something else. How many resources or what kind of resource had they fed to her for her blood essence to recover this much?

"Relax, a little over five minutes has passed." Mingzhi was completely satisfied by her reaction.

"What…?"

Schleya couldn't understand before she saw that her essence energy had not been regained much. If so much time had passed, then her body should automatically absorb the heaven and earth energy through the pores and breathing. If it didn't, then that meant that much time had not passed.

"How… did I-"

Schleya slightly glanced towards Davis before she asked Mingzhi, only for her to interrupt again.

"Of course, Davis healed you back to health, restoring your blood essence using his own secret arts. Now, don't be so sentimental because you're going to be grounded for your impertinence for the next few months, perhaps even a year, until you break through to the Law Rune Stage. Do you understand?"

Mingzhi was like an elder sister berating a younger sister. Schleya could only nod, but she had her head lowered, her expression not that much visible.

Schleya's level of control over her body had reached a tremendous level due to her comprehension of Blood Laws, allowing her to possess greater sensitivity. Even if someone touched her, that lingering feeling would remain on her skin until she consciously made it go away. That's why she could also make pain disappear as she would simply numb the location of the injury.

However, that wasn't the point. She could feel the lingering feeling of a palm remaining on her bosom.

Since Davis was the one who treated her, it became clear that he had been touching her like that to heal her… and just imagining that completely made her expression become crimson.

"Thank you~"

She didn't raise her head but simply uttered with a soft voice.

Mingzhi and Davis naturally assumed that she was even more grateful but didn't know that she had found out about their little hands, although she only managed to find Davis's hand. As for how he healed her, she was naturally curious of the specifics but didn't ask, nor was she in the state of mind to ask.

"Well, don't worry. Since I said that I would protect you, it includes your health as well."

Davis nodded before he spoke to Mingzhi, "Take care of your friend. I'm leaving."

He walked away and left the room.

Schleya then moved as if to want to leave as well, but Mingzhi captured her shoulders and pushed her.

"You might've been healed, but you should still take some rest."

Considering that Mingzhi was weaker, Schleya would've been able to push her away with ease, but she didn't resist, causing her to lie down on the bed.

Everything became silent.

Only the sound of their soft breathing was relevant. At this point, Schleya had calmed.

"You really couldn't stop yourself from falling for him, huh?"

"…!?"

The calm quickly broke as her heart began to rapidly beat as she turned to look at Mingzhi, who lay down beside her.

"Wha- What do you mean?"

Schleya's expression changed as it became icy, her crimson eyes becoming filled with killing intent. But despite being showered in that gaze, Mingzhi shot a taunting smile.

"You become meek whenever he speaks. It could be out of respect, but I'm not willing to believe that the Young Blood Demoness will behave meekly to someone she merely respects."

"You're out of your mind." Schleya uttered before turning her head away.

"I might be." Mingzhi nodded, "However, I also know you cannot lie. Perhaps, you disdain to lie, or you're idiotically honest-"

"What…!?"

"I mean… if you have not fallen for him, say that you have not. Why are you attacking me?"

Schleya appeared a bit shaken, but she kept her mouth shut. However, Mingzhi was not willing to stop.

"Schleya, tell me more about your twin sister."

"I refuse."

"Fine, fine. I'll go see what kind of opinion Davis has about this matter."

Mingzhi turned around, wanting to get out of the bed, when she was suddenly mounted, a crimson blade pointing at her throat.

Schleya's hand was trembling as she locked down Mingzhi underneath her. However, Mingzhi didn't seem to give a damn as she smiled brightly.

"Go ahead, swing that blade. So much for the strongest merciless blade that bared its fangs against its own benefactor…."

"You…!"

Schleya became shocked. She vaguely seemed to remember telling something like that before she went into slumber. It was like she uttered in a drunk state, but once she remembered, not only did her pale cheeks become crimson, her bosoms were also heaving like anything from the embarrassment.

"Woah, your hand is trembling like crazy. If you accidentally killed me, Davis would hate you and-"

Schleya abruptly took her crimson blade into her spatial ring and backed off. However, Mingzhi's mouth went agape as she looked at Schleya kneeling and looked aggrieved for the first time in her life.

"What do you want?"

Schleya pleaded as though she would do anything in her power to make Mingzhi from rambling about this to Davis.

"Schleya, when we were roaming the Blood Pledge Villa Territory, you, a blood fanatic, said that blood makes people related, but loyalty is what truly makes a family. I'm starting to see what kind of person you really are… and even as a woman, it makes me really want to protect you."

Mingzhi deeply smiled. However, that smile appeared evil to the trembling Schleya.

Outside, Davis arrived to see a battle ends before the next lot was taken. He was on time but still felt a bit horny from holding that plump, big-

Davis instantly shook his head, removing those thoughts with his will.

Suddenly, he became surprised as the lot number was announced. It belonged to Rayn Shard, the top genius from the Shard Family.

Davis waited for him to see whom he would choose and wished that he would be challenged. Even if it were not him, he could challenge Natalya. He wished that he could use Misdirection in order to make him choose him or Natalya, but the range was too far.

Rayn Shard directly flew towards the battle stage before he cupped his hands towards the Mystic Ice Sect.

"Emperor Sword Sect's Rayn Shard challenges Fairy Myria for a fair battle."

Millions of people became shocked but quickly became excited to see one of the speculated top three be challenged.

'Right, Myria almost obliterated those disciples of Emperor Sword Sect and Jade Lotus Valley in the Seventh Stage Segment…'

However, Davis instantly thought it was for revenge.
