Divine Emperor of Death

"We are the same. Instead of waiting, we will wholly concentrate on cultivation during this time, so don't disturb us, okay?"

Sophie smirked at Davis with a playful smile while Niera also nodded her head with a gentle smile.

"You two…"

Davis felt embarrassed to say thank you. He felt really pressed for time because of the stupid Calamity Light.

Of course, he could marry them all at the same time, and with his power and status, he knew that they would agree, but then, he selfishly wanted it to be as proper as possible. Moreover, it would also make them feel special, so he only had two women on his list for the upcoming schedule: Fiora and Mo Mingzhi.

Nevertheless, he saw the change in Sophie's demeanor. She was originally reserved yet needy, but ever since her soul became inclined towards darkness, she had been strangely overcultivating as though having an extreme will that allows her to concentrate on cultivation.

Perhaps, she still felt that pain of being useless when he almost died, and that changed her deeply to the core, although she still hadn't lost her playfulness.

And Niera, who has become her best friend, accompanied her all the way, even now.

"Mark my words. After our marriage, I will take both of you together on the bed on one fine day."

"…"

Davis spoke with utter seriousness over what he felt for them at this moment, but that dumbfounded Sophie and Niera as they looked at him with shock before turning to look at each other, their cheeks becoming crimson as they looked away.

"You wish…"

"Yeah… Go away, pervert..."

Despite what they said with embarrassed expressions, there was not much resistance to their voices that said if he strongly came at them, they wouldn't resist.

Lea Weiss appeared taken aback by his words. Would she have to do the same one day? She glanced at Shirley with the corner of her eye before she forcefully yet imperceptibly shook her head.

"Davis, stop teasing them..."

Isabella giggled as she couldn't help but recall the time she and Evelynn were taken together. Still, she walked towards him and patted his shoulder.

"As we were talking, what are you going to do about Niera's cultivation? Your Alstreim Family's Flameburst Inferno Manual isn't that great of an Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual, so the sooner she changes it, the easier it would be for her."

"You're right."

Davis nodded and was about to descend into contemplation when his

"I apologize for being so troublesome."

Niera spoke out, causing them to smile at her.

"It's not like you asked something outrageous. Relax, Niera." Isabella smirked while putting her arm around Davis's arm, "It is our man's duty to satisfy our needs as it is the same for us."

"But… I haven't even done anything yet."

Niera felt embarrassed as she blushed, feeling shameless to be receiving resources without truly becoming his woman.

"He's the one delaying it, so that's his problem. Don't be apologetic."

Isabella shook her head while Davis seriously nodded.

"True, you don't have to feel bad. Just eat and grow up ripe for me to take you."

"Pfft~"

Isabella turned her head away in laughter while Niera became heartened and more embarrassed at the same time that she mumbled.

"Davis, you are so bad..."

"Well, forget it." Davis waved his hand, "I thought about your cultivation now and found something truly peculiar in a random spatial ring amidst the many I collected..."

A jade slip appeared in his palm, imprinted with the symbol of three legs that had talons.

Lea Weiss's eyes instantly narrowed when she saw that.

"This has vague fire-attribute energy emanating from it even though it's just a jade slip that contains information, not to mention that it's truly peculiar in the sense that it's kind of overwhelming, but not like it has any danger..."

Davis confusedly uttered as he fiddled around with the jade slip, looking to access it when he suddenly found a pathway to this peculiar object.

"You actually found a legacy of the Golden Crow!?"

Just when Lea Weiss's shocked voice echoed, the image of a three-legged bird with golden flames lightning upon its body could be seen, an illusion of its aura striking their faces as it made their eyes go wide in shock.

"…"

Combining this image with what Lea Weiss screamed in shock, they suddenly couldn't help but feel that they had gained something invaluable.

"Destructive Golden Flame Canon… An Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual…"

Davis spoke with a dumbfounded expression on his face, feeling the jade slip imbue with the knowledge before it stopped.

"What grade…?" Lea Weiss held her breath.

Davis's lips opened and closed before he couldn't help but smile amusedly.

"Immortal Grade, including all the other sections below it..."

"…"

Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Niera, wondering if this was heaven-sent for her, but more than that, they glanced at Davis as Lea Weiss spoke with a bewildered look.

"Someone in the wicked path was actually using this manual, and you didn't even notice that you killed them?"

"I don't know..." Davis looked innocent, "I just massacred them all and didn't bother to remember their faces..."

"…"

A lucky inheritor who had probably obtained this from a tomb or something of similar of nature, but ended up being in the wrong place and offered his life's luck to Davis just like that they couldn't help but feel…

"What? Are you all feeling like wanting to be bandits now?"

"Ridiculous! This is spoils gained from enacting justice and revenge…!"

Lea Weiss clenched her teeth as she blushed.

Not only Lea Weiss but all of them thought that plundering from others was truly lucrative.

"In any case, how did we miss this, Isabella?"

Davis turned to look at Isabella, who also looked none the wiser as she pointed at the jade slip.

"I swear I also categorized this as an informational jade slip as I skimmed."

"It can't be helped. Jade slips like this eludes one's senses if they are not checked properly..." Lea Weiss spoke as she cleared their confusion and gestured, "Whatever you gained, you might want to check again."

Davis blinked before he nodded.

"Alright, but I won't get my hopes up as luck only shines on you once a day..."

Making it clear that he would check it tomorrow as though it could raise his luck in a superstitious manner, Davis handed over the jade slip to Niera, who looked stiff while receiving it from him.

"Thank you."

She knew that this was what she needed.

Davis merely smiled at her soft and heartened words before he turned to look at Lea Weiss.

"Why is the Golden Crow not in the Four Grand Skyfire Magical Beasts?"

If he had known, he felt that he would've been on the lookout.

While everyone couldn't help but feel how lucky Niera was for this sudden discovery, they came out of their reverie and looked at Lea Weiss for her answer, wanting to know more about magical beasts.

Lea Weiss pursed her lips before she spoke.

"That's because its flames are more destructive than the Four Grand Skyfire Magical Beasts that it's titled as one of the two Imperious Skyfire Magical Beasts, standing along with the Azure Flame Kirin."

Davis's mouth opened wide, "Is that..."

"I don't know for sure, but it is said that the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin is an offspring between the Azure Flame Kirin and Obsidian Lightning Kirin, becoming capable of holding both their legacies, and because of its ability to control both lightning and fire, it lined up with the other Grand Skyfire Magical Beasts."

"This isn't to say that the Four Grand Skyfire Magical Beasts is better than the Two Imperious Skyfire Magical Beasts. It's just the way it is as I'm not sure of the reasons behind their naming..."

Davis nodded like a student before he asked again.

"Where are the people with the blood of these magical beasts? Were they present before?"

"They did, but they died in the Territorial Wars century millenniums ago, their blood fading away with time as they perhaps refused to adapt or have completely ascended, refusing to stay in this lower world… There are many reasons, but unless we can turn back time, we wouldn't know for sure..."

"Lea, you're so knowledgeable..."

Shirley uttered with admiration, but instead, it made Lea Weiss conscious about her age as she blushed.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Lea Weiss asked, causing Shirley to smile and nod her head multiple times.

"Hehehe, you're my little sister from now on, so be careful of how you treat me. If you're good to me, I will take care of you from being bullied by Davis."

Lea Weiss saw her disciple using the stick and carrot method that she couldn't help but crack a smile. Nevertheless, coming to know that she truly didn't mind, a huge burden fell off her shoulders, causing her to nod.

"Mhm~"

Shirley blinked, her mouth going slightly agape before she genuinely smiled.

"Welcome to our little empire, Sect Master Lea Weiss."

"…"

Lea Weiss was truly convinced that this favored disciple of hers was enjoying this scenario more than she should.
