Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1177 A Special Woman In His Heart?

Chapter 1177 A Special Woman In His Heart?

Under the reflection of the moonlight and the silent atmosphere over the rooftop park, Mo Mingzhi’s attack on the table was as resounding as hitting a drum with a stick. Only after a moment passed did she tremble and come back to herself, feeling terrified of what she had done.

She acted completely rude in front of the Ruth Empire’s Dragoness, also Mira’s Mistress! She had heard numerous tales of how she was a bigshot who had offended her Davis before but apologized by giving him a chance to participate in their Ruth Empire’s Trial or something.

Nevertheless, Mo Mingzhi coughed as she kept her expression normal, "Uh... I mean, did Crown Prince Davis return with your highness? Or is the Crown Prince still-"

"Mortal woman... No need to act." Princess Isabella smiled as she interrupted, "I can see that you possess similar guts as him."

Mo Mingzhi’s heartbeat sped up like a roller coaster, but she felt happy at her statement. However, she also didn’t like the term mortal woman for some reason.

"I’m not a mortal anymore. I’ve left that status far behind and became a cultivator..." Her brows creased.

Perhaps, that was her resolution to move forward in this world.

Princess Isabella simply leaned over the table as she relaxed her chin on her hands by conjoining her ten fingers as she placed her elbows on the table.

"Then name yourself..."

Mo Mingzhi stared at Princess Isabella before for a while before she avoided her gaze, "Mo Mingzhi, The Golden Beheader of the Loret Family, Self-proclaimed mistress of Crown Prince Davis Loret..."

Princess Isabella blinked once at hearing the term ’The Golden Beheader’, but she practically froze at her next title.

Self-proclaimed what!?

"What did you say!?"

*Bzzzz!~*

Princess Isabella’s undulations flared like a tide as she stood up, making both Clara and Mo Mingzhi terrified for a moment as the table was rocked off from between them, sent flying in the air! However, for some reason, the undulations were only targeted at Mo Mingzhi that Clara felt little to no pressure.

Mo Mingzhi directly knelt without even being able to fight back, her expression bordering between bewilderment and terror.

’What just happened!? Am I going to get killed for some goddamn reason I don’t know...?’

’Could it be that she has truly become my Davis’s enemy but was just chilling here, holding Clara as a hostage...!?’

Her mind rapidly spun, but it was unable to provide an answer amidst the sheer threat she was faced with! She had never been subjected to such pressure and inevitably felt that she was going to die, but strangely, not a single one of her bones broke, or a cell became harmed despite the terrifying pressure she felt in every cell of her body.

"Princess Isabella..." Clara uttered, wanting to protect Mo Mingzhi.

That was her brother’s will, after all.

Princess Isabella shot a short glance at Clara, making her retain composure. Their eyes spoke what they needed to say before Princess Isabella coldly spoke towards Mo Mingzhi.

"Tell me, what did you just say at the end? Say it again..."

Mo Mingzhi felt the heavy pressure become lesser. She was able to finally breathe, making her become aware of the situation.

"I..." She breathed hard, looking at Princess Isabella’s cold expression, "I said that I am Davis’s mistress..."

*Bzzz!~*

The pressure abnormally increased as Princess Isabella’s voice echoed.

"You are courting death!"

Princess Isabella’s expression became one of anger as she approached Mo Mingzhi, the Earth Dragon’s Destructive Sword appearing in her hand, erupting with enormous undulations!

Mo Mingzhi practically became terrified as she felt like she was going to die again, her heart tightening in panic, "Wait! I did nothing wrong!"

She tried to retreat, but her body refused to move, simply overpowered to the place. Just when she looked as if she was going to faint from shock, her expression abruptly changed.

"What are you to him?"

Instead of cowering anymore, she asked a question with narrowed eyes.

Princess Isabella also narrowed her eyes, her black pupils appearing to be astonished. With an unamused expression, she spoke, "I am Davis’s third wife, and yet you say that you are his mistress?"

’Third!?’ Mo Mingzhi’s lush black pupils trembled.

That meant that there was already a second woman in his life?

Mo Mingzhi practically felt intense fury the next moment.

She didn’t know if her anger was because of his two new women or something else, but she knew one thing...

’Damn it!’

’I am going to be killed for a reason such as jealously!? There should be a limit to how the heavens can end my life! Even Evelynn didn’t make a move on me!’

"You are a disgrace to his name!" Princess Isabella pointed the sharp tip of the sword right at her throat, "If I leave you alive, it is unknown how many women would begin to claim that they are his mistress."

Mo Mingzhi’s scalp tingled with the threat of death. However, her black eyes still fiercely stared at Princess Isabella, appearing to recognize her as a rival as well as someone who took her chances of being together with Davis.

Princess Isabella’s relaxed the grasp on the sword as she laid the blade on Mo Mingzhi’s shoulder, "Seeing that you were a mortal just a few years ago, I can commend your efforts and understand of wanting to be with the strongest man of the Grand Sea Continent, but you are unworthy..."

"If you forget him... I can make you-"

Mo Mingzhi’s black eyes began to almost spat fire as she barred her fangs, "Hmph! You may want to be with the strongest man, but I want to be with him and him alone! Even if you can make me kneel, don’t think you can make me bend to your will, you overbearing Empress!"

"Seems like you want to die..."

Princess Isabella narrowed her eyes as her big bosoms heaved under her attractive princess robe. She brandished the sword, looking ready to plunge it into severing Mo Mingzhi’s neck.

"You were called the Golden Beheader, right? Then I have a fitting end for you to honor your title..."

Mo Mingzhi’s eyes severely trembled at the threat of death. She felt immense pressure over the side of her neck, making her feel as if a single movement of Princess Isabella’s could instantly sever her head.

However, instead of pleading for her life or making the other party understand her plight, a crazy smirk appeared on her lips.

"Go ahead and lop off my head if you want, but don’t blame me if our beloved Davis hates you for the rest of his life..."

Princess Isabella’s brows widened as her pupils severely trembled! However, she ended up being provoked that her arm swung with full force as if she really were going to behead Mo Mingzhi.

"Die!"

’It’s over!’ Mo Mingzhi practically felt her nerves become oversensitive, her past flashing before her eyes.

Before she could lay a single hand on Davis, she never thought she was going to be killed by a rival, much less his third wife. She felt extremely reluctant as an immense force impacted the side of her neck, making her understand that she was beheaded.

’Ah... I died... I wonder... if he would at least...’

’... cry for me...?’

Mo Mingzhi saw her vision go blank before her consciousness ceased.

*Thud!~*

Her body collapsed on the rooftop park, making her blood run cold.

Emine looked at Mo Mingzhi’s dead body in horror. She was supposed to protect, but in front of that massive life-threatening undulations, she was unable to move an inch!

Done! It was over! She was going to be beheaded by Crown Prince Davis for failing to protect Mo Mingzhi even if she survived by fleeing from this place!

’Wait a minute...’ She suddenly noticed that Mo Mingzhi’s head wasn’t severed, nor was there any blood from Mo Mingzhi coating the rooftop surface.

She blinked, seeing the same scene, but she couldn’t understand. She had practically seen that magnificent sword held by Princess Isabella cut through Mo Mingzhi’s neck.

Why wasn’t there any blood? Why wasn’t her head severed?

Princess Isabella sighed as she looked at Mo Mingzhi’s collapsed body, a complicated glint remaining in her eyes. She looked towards Clara, appearing a bit confused and helpless.

"Clara, what’s wrong with this woman? Even in front of death, she refused to choose another path..."

Princess Isabella couldn’t understand, but she could see that Mo Mingzhi was perhaps deeply in love or obsessed with Davis. Otherwise, a crazy glint wouldn’t have flashed past her eyes.

"She’s been like that ever since coming here..." Clara replied without a change in expression, "She has no fear of us, but everyone knows why..."

"What do you mean...?" Princess Isabella’s brows narrowed.

"Her threat towards you, she wasn’t lying..."

"What!?"

"At least, from what I could tell, she’s convinced that brother would come to hate you if you were to kill her..."

"You’re kidding, right?" Princess Isabella’s lips twitched.

Clara shook her head, "In the past when a mortal badmouthed Mo Mingzhi, brother acted normal, but the next moment, he had already killed that person, seemingly realizing it only after he had done the act. It was as if Brother is extremely protective of her, so what she’s saying could very well be true..."

Princess Isabella descended into silence.

"Besides, there’s two tangible pieces of evidence right before us..." Clara looked toward the sky, prompting Isabella to do the same as they saw the other woman.

"Brother had personally assigned one of our hidden protectors to protect Mo Mingzhi, and this constitutes the reason why she could be unbridled within our Loret Empire, especially in the capital. In any case, she hadn’t done anything wrong or misused her powers so far. The other evidence is obviously the ten milliliters of nectar instructed to be given to her..."

"Well, it seems like I had almost jeopardized my future with my beloved..." Princess Isabella smiled wryly, "As expected of the brazen yet stupid me..."

Evelynn, Natalya, and herself. Perhaps out of the three of them, only she had challenged his bottom line, not once but a few times. She felt a bit anxious about how he would come to view her if he hears about this mess.

She turned to look at the fainted Mo Mingzhi in an aggrieved manner. It was herself who made her the move, but if Mo Mingzhi didn’t provoke her, she wouldn’t have made her faint either. All she wanted to know was if Mo Mingzhi was a freeloader who wanted to drain Davis’s resources while scheming to make use of his kindness.

If she was, she wouldn’t have hesitated to punish her, but with Clara’s testimony, it seems like Mo Mingzhi was a special woman in his heart.

"Hmph!" She harrumphed, feeling complicated before she turned to look at Emine, "You, carry her to the recliner over there..."

"Y-Yes!" Emine panicked as she instantly moved, appearing before Mo Mingzhi.
