Divine Emperor of Death

Davis, Evelynn, Natalya, Mingzhi, and Niera all flew towards the Dual Lotus Manor's seating area. The people there were celebrating the entry of Drake Blackburn and Kara Moonridge into the top fifteen, numerous disciples and elders approaching him to congratulate him.

Moreover, they were extremely respectful, as though Drake Blackburn was their elder. Even the Dual Lotus Manor's two Sect Leaders, a golden-haired man who looked remarkably handsome and a purple-haired woman draped in luxurious and elegant blue and red robes, smiled along with them, appearing to indulge in the glory received today.

But at this moment, they froze, turning to look at a purple-robed man approach along with four beauties beside him, each one of them exuding their own unique aura of a different element, especially the feared woman beside him.

"It's been a long time, friend."

"Ahaha! Davis, come here, come here. Taste this swan meat. It's just too good!"

Drake came forward as he invited while Davis couldn't help but blink but then, looking at the chunks, wings, and breasts of swan meat on the table, marinated, cooked, appearing extremely delicious, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"For a moment, I thought that you said different!"

"Haha, I might have. Who knows?"

Drake came forward and patted Davis's shoulder, looking overjoyed.

The entirety of the Dual Lotus Manor had gone silent. Their boisterous voices slowly died until they only saw Drake Blackburn patting the Emperor of Death's shoulder as though he was equal and looking at the Emperor of Death smile as though he didn't take offense, they became utterly dumbfounded, their minds delaying their reactions by a large enough margin that Davis began to partake in the swan meant along with his women.

*Gasp~*

People let out slow breaths so as to not receive attention.

They had doubts if Drake Blackburn was just playing it, but at this moment, they were totally convinced that he was acquainted and even friends with the Emperor of Death!

Davis nodded to the exquisite taste of the meat, but it was not delicious as the Aqua Flood Dragon Meat. Nevertheless, he praised it and spoke.

"Drake, I apologize for my Niera accidentally harming your wife."

"Davis…" Drake's smile faded as he shook his head, "If you're going to say that, then I'm going to have to apologize as well. Kara said that she was at fault, too, while I had no idea such a scenario happened until your little sister ousted me."

"Yes, it was partly my fault that I got injured. I wasn't strong enough..."

Kara Moonridge nodded worriedly. She no longer wore a transparent veil but an opaque veil that hid her features, but Davis could see that her nose was fractured.

"No, Niera isn't strong enough yet. She is young and lacks the aura I sense from you two. However, don't blame her. She just wanted to win against you, so she pushed the limits of the battle to a dangerous zone where she could have accidentally died as a result. However, she won because you were not serious. If both of you had been serious, it would be very difficult to tell the outcome, so please accept my apology."

Davis raised his palm when a pill appeared above his palm, appearing pristine white and radiating a unique aroma that most people were familiar with, sensing healing prowess from the pill.

"This… a High-Level Emperor Grade Healing Pill?"

Kara Moonridge became astonished before she turned to look at her husband.

Drake Blackburn scratched his head, appearing to have a wry expression on his face as he had just received a High-Level Emperor Grade Pill from the Sect Leader, which had been given to heal Kara Moonridge already, but the fracture was deep and could not be easily healed and would take time.

However, the pill in front of him was extremely potent, exuding a bright aura that made him want to take it because he bet that it could heal his wife instantly.

"Kara Moonridge, I dee-"

"Niera."

Niera had just clasped her hand, wanting to apologize, when Davis suddenly looked towards her, causing her to become stumped.

Drake looked at this scene and smiled before swiping the pill off Davis's palm, looking smug.

"Apologies accepted. However, injuries like this are commonplace, so no one needs to take it to heart."

Recalling losing their limbs in the mini-real, Drake shrugged as though he was the bigger man while Davis couldn't help but think to himself.

'You won't be saying that if you saw how close they were to accidentally kill each other if they hadn't maneuvered right or held back at the right time...'

"Niera, I apologize for wounding you too." Kara Moonridge spoke sincerely as her icy daggers pierced Niera, causing her injures, "If you hadn't held back your fist at the last moment, I would have-"

Suddenly, she paused as she noticed that Niera's wounds were not there over her palm, not even a hint of a scar, causing her eyes to become wide.

On the other hand, Niera remained stunned by the single word uttered by Davis. He didn't want her to apologize?

"Niera, this is a matter between their friendship that needed to be addressed and not buried as though it never happened as all it creates are crevices. You don't need to apologize as you were not actually wrong in the battle itself as it is a competitor's intent to win, not to have a friendly spar."

Mo Mingzhi sent Niera a soul transmission, causing the latter to be enlightened as her adorable purple eyes became slightly misty.

"That said, Drake." Mo Mingzhi opened her lips and voiced out, "Let us all go to a private place. The crowd's gaze is a bit prickly for us."

"Oh, yes, of course."

Drake abandoned the banquet and ignored the two Sect Leaders, leading Davis and his women to the resting hall before arriving at an unoccupied resting room, and quite arguably, the others were occupied as though they might be currently used for… cultivation involving two people.

"So, did you see the beauties of my sect? Did someone catch your eyes?"

Drake chuckled as he teased Davis in front of his wives, causing Davis to shake his head.

"More than that, why don't you introduce these three new women to me?"

He glanced at a red-haired, blue-haired, and a chestnut-haired woman, causing Drake to gesture at them.

"This is Lora Ren, Elayne Bluestone, and Amber Will."

Davis saw their charming eyes and their facial features behind their captivating veil and couldn't help but comment.

"They certainly have a unique aura about them. All three of them have unique physiques?"

"Indeed, they all have Exquisite Nine Yin Physiques like Kara."

Davis and the other's eyes went wide before Drake began to explain the whole story.

Apparently, he had the opportunity to meet Lora Ren in the mini-realm, and when he, her, and Kara Moonridge got caught in an aphrodisiac entrapment in a tomb of the First Ancestor of the Dual Lotus Manor, it turned into a threesome for two whole months with details omitted, but that formed a solid bond between them.

As for Elayne Bluestone and Amber Will, they were protected and courted by top disciples for their physiques and curvaceous bodies, but that was all they could do as the two women were not pleased until Drake showed up and revealed his five-kilometer and four-kilometer Perfect Domains that totally shook the Dual Lotus Manor.

Then, they pleaded that they wanted to become his and succeeded in courting him as the courtship system works both ways.

"These two were separated by many generations but still saw my potential and decided to become mine despite having a higher cultivation, and yes, in case if you're wondering, they were all virgins when I took them."

Drake proudly uttered while the three women went crimson as they pinched him together. On the other hand, Davis blinked while Drake merely smiled to his confusion.

"As I said before, the Dual Lotus Manor has its own oddities and eccentric characters, some are loyal, and many are disloyal, but there are people who know their value and wouldn't bother to give the opposite gender the time and prime of their life until they are completely sure that he or she is the one."

"No," Davis shook his head, "I was wondering why you weren't killed yet for hoarding such beautiful women with unique physiques."

"Ahaha!" Drake wildly laughed as though he was a hooligan, "That's what I get for creating two Perfect Domains like you before the competition even began. More women wanted to get together with me, but I refrained myself as it is possible that I would be corrupted with depravity."

"As if you're not depraved now…!"

Kara pinched him along with the others while Drake could only wryly smile as his shoulders drooped.

"Just after this Seventh Stage Segment, people who didn't show respect to me started displaying immense respect. Haters and those suitors who were planning to get revenge on me for Elayne and Amber actually apologized. I know it's because of you. However, I'm definitely going to be killed now since the world knows that I'm your true friend and not faking it. They're going to target my women and me, won't they?"

"Indeed," Davis nodded, "I already have someone in mind who might target you."

"Like whom?" Drake raised his brows, "From the wicked path you wrecked or something?"

Davis pursed his lips before he shook his head.

"That is there too, but most likely, it would be the Trash Sky Emperor."

"…"

Drake and his women were totally stunned. Did he mean the Vast Sky Emperor whom the Emperor of Death had declared to kill that it resounded publicly but was then forgotten since nothing happened?

"You mean-"

"Yes." Davis didn't hesitate.

"Dude, just kill that bastard already..."

Drake couldn't help but groan, feeling that his and his wives' lives were at stake if this was the case.

"Well, I think it should be fine..."

Davis looked away, causing Drake to stare at him.

"Are you serious?"

"No."

"You-"

"It should be fine only if you come with us, though. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will live to see the next day. Oh wait, this sounds like a threat rather than a friendly warning."

Davis looked like he was in his own world while Drake trembled as though he was going to spurt out blood from being put in this precarious position. In the end, he grabbed the other party's shoulder and clenched his teeth.

"So you're saying that I'm screwed without you?"

Davis wryly smiled, "Yeah, your time of enjoying benefits that comes from being my friend is very short that the real danger will strike very soon, perhaps right after this competition ends."

Drake let go of Davis as he turned around and walked away, heading past his women before he stopped, his body started to tremble when his head suddenly shot up.

"Fuck!!!"
