Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1972: Restorative Grasp

Chapter 1972: Restorative Grasp

Once Mingzhi and Schleya left, Davis smirked at Adlet Rayburn.

"So you are finally willing to talk to me?"

Adlet Rayburn could only wryly smile.

How could he talk to a person powerful than him, or rather, he didn't even know if he was being held under the threat of a knife to his throat. Only after this complex situation came to an end did he understand that the other party did not want to steal his treasures but form an acquaintance which every genius would at least try.

Obviously, the Emperor of Death didn't seem to be the loner type with so many people around him.

Thinking like this, Adlet Rayburn didn't want to beat around the bush either.

"I'll be straightforward. Part of the reason why I accepted your invitation is that I want Soul Palace's light attributed techniques and manuals."

Davis shook his head.

"Then you can leave. I only needed you to represent the Alstreim Family anyway, and it's going to end."

The Soul Palace possessed not only Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals but also Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation Manuals and Techniques. However, because the disciples and elders themselves disdained to use these, thinking that the soul would let them reign supreme as it did so many years, they did not use them much.

It could be said that they were fools to underestimate Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation, but it could also be said that they were fanatics of Soul Forging Cultivation.

Adlet Rayburn appeared a bit disappointed before he asked.

"What can I do to acquire them?"

"Then work. Work for me."

'So it comes down to that...'

Adlet Rayburn sighed and suddenly understood that Davis wanted him as a subordinate, but he wasn't willing. After all, they were geniuses of a calamitous era. Even if someone's stronger than them, it was still beneath them to come under that someone. He was about to decline when he heard Davis speak again.

"Or, bring out something worthy of those techniques and manuals. We can trade."

'Tell that first…!'

Adlet Rayburn inwardly shouted but smiled outwardly, "In that case, I might be able to bring out something. However, let's exchange after the competition."

"Alright."

Davis's eyes appeared amused, knowing that Adlet Rayburn was exploring his options with the other powers. His best bet was the Astral Light Sect. Even now, he could feel the Starnova Emperor eying Adlet Rayburn, although it was unsure if he desired the latter's treasures or wanted to take him as a disciple.

And as expected, Adlet Rayburn cupped his hands towards him and slightly bowed in respect before leaving towards the Astral Light Sect with his two wives.

Davis turned around and sent a soul transmission to Evelynn.

"If anything comes up, contact me. I'll go heal that stubborn woman since she's bound to have used up her blood essence to use that escape technique."

Evelynn lightly nodded as she watched him leave. The next lot was picked up, but fortunately, it was not Davis or Natalya. It wasn't Ellia either, so there was nothing to disturb him for. It was a battle between the weakest of the third round.

It could be said that the winner of this match could be said to be lucky as the chances that they would rank within the top eight would go up.

Davis reached the resting hall tracing Schleya's weak blood energy undulations. He opened the door and looked at Mingzhi seated beside Schleya, who seemed asleep, her breathing soft. He approached them before placing a hand on Mingzhi's shoulder.

"How is she?"

"She just fainted, having spent about twenty percent of her blood essence."

Davis nodded. Understanding that the Sultry Midnight Tree Fruit Pills would no longer be useful to her in replenishing her blood essence, Davis directly placed a hand above her heart. Those magnificent peaks of hers were quite certainly attractive, but at this moment, his palm remained in the air as pure white energy descended onto her.

It penetrated her robe and her pores, directly entering her heart. The blood essence deficiency suddenly underwent a change as those pure white energy started increasing her blood. The blood then kept compressing until drops of blood essence formed and mixed with her blood flow, diluting and strengthening her blood.

When Schleya required, she would once again be able to condense her blood essence from the heart and use it.

Like this, the percentage of blood she used kept replenishing while her pale cheeks turned rosy, her breathing also becoming normal.

Mingzhi watched Davis treat her with mesmerizing eyes. She didn't know much about it, but it appeared divine and heavenly, almost making her perceive him as a god if she didn't know of him beforehand. However, within her eyes lurked a complex gaze.

She abruptly reached out her hand and pressed down on Davis's palm.

Davis, who was concentrating on healing Schleya and understanding the workings of this life energy more, suddenly felt a soft sensation on both sides of his palm. His eyes shot wide open, glancing at his hand palm clench a soft and plump mound while forced by a soft hand.

"You-"

"Shh~ She might wake up.".

Davis almost flared but was suddenly interrupted by Mingzhi placing another hand on her lips.

"Touching the area that needed to be treated would result in greater efficiency."

When Davis heard Mingzhi's soul transmission, he almost coughed out blood because her words were certainly true, but clearly, her intent was not. However, he didn't need to touch Schleya as his prowess was already high enough to treat her.

He mused Schleya's blood essence had already been replenished by eighty-six percent, but not even one percent of his soul force was used. He could afford the rate of efficiency to be low.

"Mingzhi, are you trying to con me? You're the one who said that I should have no intentions towards Schleya."

'I changed my mind.'

Mingzhi smiled, but she didn't say anything.

Davis stared at her but didn't take his hand off as another disturbance might wake Schleya off. However, he wasn't willing to let this matter go.

His palm that unleashed the pure white energy moved upwards, encasing Mingzhi's hand.

Mingzhi's expression suddenly fell. It then turned pleasant, causing her to bite her lips, looking at her fingers twitch as she held his hand.

"Scoundrel. What are you doing?"

"What else? Don't you know that hand-holding is one of the acts belonging to the highest order of lewdness?"

Davis teasingly sneered as he replied to her soul transmission. Having increased her sensitivity and pleasure through the grayish-white energy, he made her feel good, trying to get back at her.

'Bastard… I'm doing this for you...'

However, Mingzhi wasn't willing to back down either. But she didn't take her hand away.

She raised her other hand and put her index finger between her lips. Her expression became seductive, her eyes becoming teary while her brows lightly furrowed. A few seconds later, she started breathing heavily, and it was unknown if she was doing it on purpose or because she was feeling too good from the hand-holding already.

Looking at Mingzhi's bosoms heave, Davis's throat became dry, not to mention that he was grabbing one already, seemingly on the verge of squishing it from Mingzhi's seductive motions. His eyes almost became bloodshot from holding back before he gently sighed.

"You win…"

He stopped pleasuring Mingzhi's hand, causing her to break out with a bright smile, allowing him to understand that she was mostly doing it on purpose.

"But don't forget you almost had a threesome with Schleya and me."

However, his reminder froze her smile.

Davis was pleasuring her while they were connected to Schleya's bosom.. Somehow, she didn't doubt the words he said, her expression becoming crimson.
