Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 91: Is this Deja Vu?

Chapter 91: Is this Deja Vu?

"Congratulations on obtaining the first place in the second round, Prince Davis." Shirley clasped her hands and said, her tone was rather bold, not soft at all. It did not sound grating, but sounded, attractive to the one who was listening to it.

"Thank you, Princess Shirley. I also did not expect that you would reach Peak-Level Revolving Core Stage, only a step away from reaching the Body Transformation Stage." Davis replied, not at all fazed by her attractiveness.

There were two reasons for it. One, there was Evelynn, who was a vixen herself. Second, there was a person right next to him who he was itching to kill.

"Though it seems that the Body Transformation Stage is near my grasp, it will take some years for me to reach that stage," Shirley replied, quite proud of herself. She knew that there was no need to compare herself with this little monster, an anomaly, as doing so would only curb her confidence.

Body Transformation Stage is the Fourth Stage in the Essence Gathering Cultivation System. Even though its name may denote that it was from the Body Tempering Cultivation System, it surely does not.

Body Transformation Stage is no joke because one would have to use the accumulated energy in the previous level to temper their dantian, compress their revolving core in each level until it starts to take the shape of a seed in the dantian.

Doing so would inevitably induce changes in one's body, where the meridians will be capable of storing more energy, and controlling the flow of energy will be even smoother. Not only that, but the compression of the revolving core increases the quality of the energy stored in it as well.

Furthermore, one would be able to sense faint laws from the heavens to form a suitable seed for the subsequent stage.

During the process of compressing the revolving core, one requires utter concentration in doing so, or else, failure to do so may result in cultivation deviation or possibly even resulting in the explosion of the revolving core, leading to certain death unless one had cultivated to a certain degree in Soul Forging Cultivation or Body Tempering Cultivation.

In a remote region of the arena, a figure stood there along with some people, watching the spectacle that unfolded on the place where the emperors sat.

Evelynn looked at the place, with a longing and an admiring gaze in her eyes. At the same time, she felt jealous and inferior to the woman who was clad in red robes.

"That's right Evelynn. Your fiancee is out of your reach, and your father arranged a marriage that was out of his authority. It's fate that you will have to cross some hurdles to get to him." Seeing that Evelynn had a complex light in her eyes, Kent explained.

"Are my thoughts that easy to guess?" Evelynn looked at him.

Kent hid nothing, "Yes. After you have revealed your intentions, it has become easier to guess your thoughts."

Evelynn smiled, "I am not afraid, from what I've seen, I know that he won't leave me if I agree to marry him."

"Then what are you worrying about?" Kent asked, confused.

Evelynn sighed, "My only worry is that I am not worthy of him, he will soon soar the skies with his talent while I get left behind. No matter how I see it, my future is bleak."

Kent just stayed silent as he couldn't do anything about it.

Suddenly she laughed, "Isn't it laughable that I'm treating a kid as my future?"

Kent didn't laugh but replied solemnly, "It doesn't matter if he's a kid. It's only a matter of time before he grows up, and by that time, it will only be harder to gain his favour. Remember that once a man sets his ambition high, the things around him will fade away as he will only concentrate to climb higher on his path to supremacy. Only when he realises that he has no future in cultivation will he wholly concentrate on his women and heirs, just like your father, our family head."

Evelynn didn't reply anymore as she continued to watch them.

Davis and Shirley exchanged some pleasantries and chattered as they got to know each other.

"I heard that there is another woman you are engaged to, Prince Davis." Shirley suddenly changed the topic.

"Well, that is true, haha." Davis laughed, a little awkward.

He didn't feel polygamy was wrong because he was never a part of a society in his previous life. Besides, the shows he watched and the novels he read, all had multiple women, chasing the protagonist. It's just that he liked the concept of 'One Life, One Love' which was why he was indecisive when he learned that he was already engaged to two women.

"Well, I don't mind my prince having a concubine or two."

"Oh really?" He was astonished because he assumed that this proud princess will demand him to annul the marriage between him and Evelynn. Besides, he couldn't give a sh*t about the main wife and concubines concept. To him, as long someone was his women, then they were all equal to him.

"Yes, it's just that I hope you choose your concubines to be with a high status, or it won't reflect your image well to the masses," Shirley replied, her face was indifferent.

"What do you mean?" Now Davis was truly confused.

Shirley sighed as she thought before her eyes widened, 'Is he acting or… could it be that he was possibly seduced?'

After all, masters, being enamoured with their servants was a common matter in this world.

"Don't you realise that you have been seduced by your maid?" She asked with a questioning gaze while raising her hands.

"Me?" Davis pointed at himself.

'Me? Wait! Is this Deja Vu?' He remembered the time when Clara confronted Ellia.

"When exactly!? What's your basis?" He laughed, remembering that scene while he asked a question.

"No master would go that far to defend their servants from a powerful adversary," Shirley replied calmly, her tone still bold.

"You certainly don't mince your words!" Davis liked that because she called Emperor Tritor an adversary in front of him, without mincing her words. Her meaning was made clear, that Emperor Tritor was their enemy.

"Don't change the argument, besides, why don't we have her come up and let her speak for herself?" Shirley grinned, her beautiful smile was not at all visible as it was hidden under her veil.
