Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3274

Drake turned to look back and beckoned at his new wives.

"What are you two afraid of when you already knew I was friends with him? Come here."

"…"

The two beauties had their brows twitching as they obviously thought that was a lie or an exaggeration. That thought was only cemented in their heads when they heard the Emperor of Death could even match the strongest genius in a gathering of the major alliances, but now, they couldn't help but have a newfound perspective of their husband.

They came closer slowly, floating towards them before they also stood behind Drake like Schleya did with Davis.

"This is Isolde Moonshadow and Elowen Frostbloom." Drake introduced.

Isolde Moonshadow's eyes were gentle. Her topaz eyes, which were similar to that of Drake, combined with her blue-silver garments, gave her a subtle, ethereal glow. Her bosoms were also adorned with a silver crescent moon insignia, symbolizing some kind of noble background.

She had long obsidian hair, complemented by a silver circle adorned with sapphire gemstones.

Similarly, Elowen Frostbloom was also clad in a blue robe, but her garment was also colored in gold patterns, making her appear quite regal, especially with her gold-plated snowflake-shaped hairpin that kept her hair tied up. Her eyes were an icy blue, and each movement she made was followed by a frosty aura as though she was a perpetual user of ice.

The two of them nodded at him, not speaking much.

Davis also nodded back at them before turning to look back at Drake.

"I guess they're users of Moonlit Dream Yin Body and Mystic Ice Yin Body."

"How-"Drake's jaw dropped, "How did you know?"

Could it be that Davis checked on him before coming here?

However, Davis shook his head.

"Just a simple analysis of the aura they exude and the color of their eyes. Do you think my soul body wastes time doing nothing?"

Davis asked in an offended tone, causing the two women to shudder again.

Drake nodded, "Indeed, they're both possessors of variant Exquisite Nine Yin Physique. Possessors of the Mystic Ice Yin Body, like Elowen, have a natural affinity for ice and cold-based martial techniques. They can freeze opponents with their touch and manipulate ice with ease."

"On the other hand, those who have the Moonlit Dream Yin Body, like Isolde, would have illusory abilities. They can cast illusions, control dreams, and enter a soul battle with others with ease."

"However, it could be said that they pulled the unlucky stick since it's said that their physiques meet their end in the Immortal King Stage as it's only researched enough till that realm. As for entering the Immortal Emperor Stage, they could forget about it."

"Hence, they chose you…" Davis interjected with a sly smile.

"Hey, beggars can't be choosers. Hence, we formed a Blood Soul Contract that promises loyalty to each other and fidelity to me. I've already let them know that I have women back in the Grand Beginnings Continent, after all."

Drake spread his hands, but the two ladies blushed because of it. Normally, they would have lashed out at both of them for exposing their secrets, but since the person before them was the Emperor of Death, they were extra careful.

Davis lightly nodded as he saw that none held leverage over the other, so this was like an arranged marriage based on needs, not that he knew if they publicly married or not, but since they exchanged Blood Soul Contracts promising fealty, it could be said that they were husband and wives.

The consequences could be severe if either of them broke the contract, but that wasn't his place to probe.

"Well, feelings of love could be always nurtured, especially when you have intimacy every now and then," Davis uttered.

"Indeed. Just because our union was based on needs doesn't mean I wouldn't love them. Isn't that right, Iso- ouch~"

Isolde Moonshadow slapped Drake on his head and ran away. She seemed to be a shy type as Elowen Frostbloom still stayed, a complicated look flashing past her eyes as she eyed Drake from the corner of her eyes and returned her gaze when Drake cast a look at her.

"But my Elowen here is just like Jade Sua. From recognizing Elowen's physique, I realized that they both possess the Mystic Ice Yin Body, so I can finally have Jade Sua continue with her cultivation as she seemed to be stuck in the Ninth Stage."

'Oh- so that's why he approached Elowen Frostbloom in the first place…'

Davis understood the gist of the matter.

Basically, the two women were not taken by any man, or they were not interested in any man as they had unique needs to fulfill.

They did not have a Pure Yin Body but a variant Exquisite Nine Yin Body that demanded a Pure Yang Body or an Exquisite Nine Yang Body like Drake's that could match their vibrancy. Otherwise, it would cause complications, as not having a vigorous dual cultivation partner after having dual cultivation for the first time will result in withdrawal syndromes and flaws in cultivation.

Of course, there was medicine for every type of affliction, but those were hard to come by, and some could never be obtained as they would be in the hands of sects. Of course, in a sect like Aurora Cloud Gate with a rich history, medicine could be obtained, but it was likely expensive.

Besides, they were high maintenance and didn't have any hopes of entering the Immortal Emperor Stage, so most geniuses would only try to use them for their bodies, basically making them a fleshly resource to be embraced and absorbed before they were abandoned, leaving them with no choice other than to rely on a man with a yang-attributed physique who could lead them, protect them, not abandon them and possibly love them.

Therefore, they had to carefully choose a man or risk ruining their lives even more than the common woman.

"That's good, but I understand. You want my help to allow them to enter the Immortal Emperor Stage, don't you?"

Drake's eyes flashed when he heard Davis's question.

"I knew I could always rely on you."

"I can't promise anything, but I'll have Ellia look into their physiques."

"Good, that alone is worth laying my life on the line for you!"

Drake stood up, clenching his fist with suppressed excitement, while Elowen Frostbloom was stunned as though she couldn't believe what she heard.

Why were these two talking as though this was something that could be changed with the snap of a finger….?

From time immemorial, there was no cultivation method that could possibly allow them to enter the Immortal Emperor Stage. So… Ellia? Who was that woman? How could she have the method for them to enter the Immortal Emperor Stage?

It made no sense to her, but for some reason, her heart couldn't help but pound heavily as it was directly coming from the mouth of the Emperor of Death.

Would such a person merely fool around to entertain his friend's wives for amusement?

'That can't be…'

She shook her head, but the more she denied it, the more she wanted to find it plausible.

"Ha! That is indeed worth more than your puny life, but it turns out that you're my friend, so I'll reluctantly raise your value and give you your life's worth of compensation."

Davis mocked before he flicked his finger and threw an item towards Drake, who caught it but was sent back flying, knocking down the sofa and everything else in the path as he smashed towards the wall.

However, Drake remained stuck to the wall with his mouth wide apart, his eyes wide as though he was paralyzed for an eternity.

"Husband!"

Isolde Moonshadow suddenly appeared from the room she ran away to, standing before Drake as she called him with worry. She turned to glare at Davis before getting Drake down, but she blinked as she saw that he wasn't hurt one bit but kept staring at his clenched fist like he was a fool.

"!!!"

Drake finally came out of his reverie as he shot a look towards Davis, his face full of shock.

"You can't be serious! I definitely can't accept this."

"Fuck off." Davis made an annoyed expression, "If you don't want it, I'll throw it away. Perhaps those disciples chilling in the pathway would like to take it."

"You-"

Drake's expression churned. He trembled greatly but then appeared as though he lost all his power as he drooped.

"I can only imagine what kind of harvest you had to be giving out this much."

"It's not a drop in the ocean but could be said to be a bucket in a sizeable pond." Davis shrugged with a light smirk.

"You're insane…"

Drake shook his head, appearing speechless. He had the feeling that he could never compare to Davis in this life.

The time spent didn't correlate to the amount of wealth one could have. He imagined the secret realm Davis entered must be ridiculously bountiful.

'Plundering is lucrative…'

Davis wanted to say but licked his lips instead, "You have some new dual cultivation techniques?"

Without missing a beat, Drake basically tore his robe in half and appeared like a beggar.

His appearance made the two ladies gawk, making them wonder what he was doing. However, he quickly fitted some scrolls on the torn robe, his smile becoming sly, "Would you like to take a look at my wares? You'll get some bang for your buck, I guarantee it!~"

Davis's gaze flashed.

He spent an hour with Drake, talking about various things and discussing their future before he finally left his mansion.

After Davis left, the two wives couldn't help but curiously ask.

"What kind of compensation did he give you?" Isolde Moonshadow asked curiously.

"He appeared so rude, but I suspect that it was all a guise because you two just can't share emotions normally because it's embarrassing."

"Ugh…"

On the other hand, Elowen Frostbloom narrowed her eyes at Drake, causing him to feel caught.

"Ten billion…"

"Woah~ Ten billion Low-Level Immortal Crystals? That's truly-"

"It's ten billion High-Level Immortal Crystals."

The both of them froze when Drake corrected them, one even falling to her knees as though she went limp.

Drake didn't blame her or the other one who kept shuddering.

Ten billion High-Level Immortal Crystals? That was easily enough for him to become a Late Stage Immortal Emperor, basically having his immortal life set up for a smooth ride. If he was a bit resourceful, it would also be enough for Isolde Moonshadow and Elowen Frostbloom to reach the Late Immortal Emperor Stage as long as they could find a way to cultivate to that realm!
