Divine Emperor of Death

Ellia jumped like a cat that had its tail stepped on, her face blushing like a red apple as she reappeared a few meters away from him. However, she hurriedly tried calming her chaotic emotions, and a Myria who possessed a vessel full of anger ready to explode.

It took her a while to calm both before her lips moved.

"Davis, it's not fair. You can't say that knowing that I will very well…"

Ellia pouted while having a wronged look on her face, causing Davis to awkwardly look away as he knew that he had been impulsive, grabbing her hand when she said not to before as that was Myria's body.

"Besides, you can't… Uhm… make me feel joyous in a romantic way because when my emotions overflow, it affects Myria too. It's a form of resonance since my consciousness is from the same source as hers."

Davis became flabbergasted. Even their emotions would affect each other? How many restrictions were going to be there? He felt that it was tricky.

"Well… I'll keep that in mind next time. I apologize."

"I apologize as well."

Ellia lowered her head, appearing to play with her fingers.

"No, you don't need to apologize. Let's just take this slow."

Davis shook his head, knowing that she was apologizing for restricting him and not having a body for them to be able to share their warmth. He knew she was also saddened to be unable to touch each other, troubled by her current situation of being unable to leave Myria's body.

"When I become an immortal, I probably would be able to do something about separating you. You don't need to fret over it even if I can't. Well, all I'm trying to say is don't needlessly overthink, thinking that I will leave you just because I couldn't touch you."

"Mhm~"

Ellia had her head lowered as it again became bright like an apple.

She didn't want to answer him now because she wanted to hold him and hug him tightly when she did. It should be 'her' body, not Myria's. That kind of selfish thought resided in her mind, disallowing her to answer his proposal, which made her feel sorry and sad, but as always, he consoled and assured her as he did back then, putting a blatant overly joyed smile on her face.

Nonetheless, she hurriedly calmed her emotions again as though it was second nature to her as she had daydreamed many times before, only to be berated by Myria. This scenario happened countless times that she could only ask Myria to forgive her for her stubbornness.

At this moment, Ellia suddenly raised her head. However, her expression was not one of a shy maiden but a cold woman. She threw the jade container in her hand towards Davis and uttered.

"Leave."

Davis caught the jade container, glancing at it before his gaze returned to Myria, "Don't be so cold. I didn't mean to anger you."

His voice was particularly softer, causing Myria to narrow her brows.

What was that? Had she heard it wrong? Was she dreaming?

As she was thinking, Davis's voice echoed again.

"I'll thank you for listening to Ellia's selfish request of gathering many ingredients to concoct this pill for me. You're the one who refined the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill, no?"

Myria stared at Davis before she shook her head.

"No, it was Ellia who refined it. You better treasure it and manifest the Supreme Immortal Sigil. Otherwise, I won't forgive you for wasting her thoughts."

"Haha. A thirty percent or less chance is a bit of a problem but can still be worked upon, and as greedy as it may sound, can I have the pill recipe and the ingredients you used to concoct the pill?"

Davis's eyes shone with a desirous glint.

With this pill, not only could he try to increase the chances of his own breakthrough but also cause his wives to manifest the Supreme Immortal Sigil. Surely, even if most could not, immortal Inheritors like Shirley and Isabella should be able to reach that level, capable of manifesting a Supreme Immortal Sigil.

Moreover, there is the Rapturous Soul Aroma Manual, the Soul Forging Cultivation Manual that Drake gifted him. With this manual as a foundation, making them all reach the level of Supreme Immortal Sigil wasn't a dream.

Even without the Rapturous Soul Aroma Manual, he could make his Soul Legion a terrifying force to be reckoned with just by diluting the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill, allowing them to reach at least King Sigil and even Emperor Sigil in level!

Myria blinked at him before a faint smile appeared on her face.

"I'm fine with giving it to you. However, since we're in a cooperation, what are you going to exchange with me? Surely, someone as strong as you should know this pill recipe's value, no?"

Davis's brows twitched. His happiness over her acceptance of giving it to him lasted a moment before it vanished.

This pill recipe's value?

It was equal or more to the Rapturous Soul Aroma Manual that was at Immortal Grade. After all, it was not just the pill he was asking for but the entire pill recipe and the exquisite ingredients that it needed.

Davis closed his eyes before he opened, his face becoming shameless.

"How about you put it on my tab? Loan the pill recipe and its ingredients for now and collect the bill later?"

"Do you mean… that you're going into debt, a man like you?"

"…"

Looking at Myria's predatory gaze and hearing her amused voice, he knew that this woman was thoroughly enjoying his plight.

Myria actually giggled, returning to her seat.

"There are other ways to exchange as well. For example, you can become my disciple or remove the seal you placed on me of your own volition."

She placed her leg one over another, officially looking like his boss.

Davis's lips twitched before he flicked his sleeve.

"Give it up. I'm a serious person, so if you're going to become my master, then I would have to put you on a pedestal which I can't. As for taking off the seal, I'll naturally do it without you even telling when I become as strong as you. After all, as soon as I remove the seal from your soul, you will inevitably break through to the High-Level Emperor Soul Stage. At that time, I cannot stop you but only kill you, so it's better for the both of us to maintain this status quo."

"You've thought this through alright."

Myria blinked before she smiled and continued.

"To begin with, I'll take this entire palace as collateral. Although it doesn't even compare to a hundredth of what I'm giving you, I can at least have a home during my stay here where I can freely chase you off."

"That is… I can't do that."

Davis became stumped, causing Myria to narrow her brows.

"Why not? It's not like you lack-"

"I'm using this palace as a grand herb garden. I can't transfer those herbs right now. It'll take too much time and possibly cause damage to them which would require more of my time and energy to heal them back. I'll give you another palace-"

"Now that you mention, I can smell many kinds of herbs. Rather than talking here, let's go take a look around."

Myria stood up and left towards the stairs. Due to her soul sense being sealed, she was unable to see what was going on around her.

Davis watched her leave as she left unhindered, causing his brows to twitch again.

'Whatever, I can't be too harsh since I accepted the gift… I have to give Ellia some face…'

He inwardly grunted and followed her.

In any case, until his main body woke up, he couldn't absorb this Supreme Ebbing Sigil anyway. He put the pill in his spatial ring and arrived at the stairs, going up.

Davis watched Myria give a good look at each floor before she moved on. It seemed that she was quite intrigued by his collection.

One reason he also brought her here was that he somewhat believed that this woman who could control Life Laws wouldn't hurt these herbs. Although it was just an assumption considering that he heard that she was ruthless from Myria's own mouth through Ellia, if she kept herself restrained because she didn't want to harm the herbs, he would be naturally feeling at ease.

"There are traces of life energy all over the place. I see. So you're growing them like this, not bad."

Myria commented, her voice sounding approving, although her attitude was one of a superior visiting to check the site.

However, Davis became flabbergasted.

Did that mean that she could do grow them the same way he did?

Could it be that growing plant life was a basic ability of Life Laws?

However, no matter how he thought, even if she could grow them through using Life Laws, the growth rate she could imbue in them should not be massive. Moreover, she definitely should not be capable of supporting the growth of the soul or even inducing one for that matter.

While he kept his silence, following Myria around as she watched her actions, she just roamed around, taking in the fragrant aroma of some flowers and brushing past leaves. Davis didn't realize that his thoughts had gone astray as Myria looked like a fairy visiting his humble garden. It took him a while to realize that he had been mesmerized by her natural grace and charm, making him inwardly sigh.

'Once a pervert, I guess there's never going back…'

Cursing himself, he followed Myria until she reached the ninth floor, where she exuded a faint smile.

"I like this palace. You cleared me the headache of having to collect the herbs I lack and grow them to maintain a stockpile when needed. If you sell this palace to me along with the garden, I'd be willing to buy it at one-tenth the price of the things you asked me. How about it?"

Davis became flabbergasted. It seemed like a good proposal as he would just have to again employ the All-Seeing Tower these resources for him. However, not all resources could be obtained again. He could also take some seeds from here and start from the beginning, but it just did not set as it would take more time for him to grow everything from scratch again.

After a few seconds of consideration, Davis shook his head.

"I have to reject that proposal. This is for my women-"

"What?"

Myria suddenly uttered in a tone of astonishment before she reappeared near a tree that was fed with ample resources and green lightning trapped in a display case to improve its nature. The tree appeared thin yet full of vitality. However, what attracted Myria's gaze were those viridian fruits on the tree.

"To think that I would find this here…."
