Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3896  Hiding In Seclusion?

"Myria… you're also here to receive answers from him?"

Mingzhi moved towards the seclusion chamber's door and asked her.

Myria stood, her eyes flickering with a hint of worry. She was clad in white robes, her white hair flowing down like a silvery waterfall. She looked absolutely beautiful, but a hint of exhaustion revealed in her eyes couldn't be faked. She opened her mouth.

"Not exactly, but-"

"Isn't it about time he revealed some answers? He went off that day, didn't he?"

At this moment, another woman also appeared.

It was none other than Evelynn. Her expression definitely didn't look good as she stared at the door as she appeared between them.

"…"

Mingzhi looked at Evelynn before she gazed at Myria. The latter seemed like she knew the answer by averting her gaze rather than answering, causing Mingzhi's lips to curl as she moved and stood in front of her, patting her shoulder.

"Go easy on the research of fusing two extreme attributes. It's obvious it's taking a toll on your body."

"…" Myria looked taken aback before she nodded, "Thanks~ The least I could do is cheer him up with the research, but I understand. It's just that we were on the precipice of a breakthrough and managed to increase our progress by a large margin that we three couldn't afford to stop."

"That's great." Mingzhi smiled, "Send my regards to Tina and Dalila. Don't forget to tell them to remember to take rest." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I will."

Myria nodded before she turned to look at Evelynn.

"Don't be so hard on him. He's also doing his best."

"So you knew." Evelynn cast a glance at her, her eyes cold, "Did he tell you himself?"

"…"

Myria's heart sank. Did Evelynn think she robbed Davis from her?

After all, he didn't tell Evelynn, but he told her.

Mingzhi also thought the same. She was about to mediate when Evelynn shook her head.

"Don't misunderstand. I'm not angry as I know you two share soul physiques, which makes you compatible with the trump card he uses. I can tell that he ordered you to protect the family in his stead since you always came out to check the perimeter around the ship and the mini-realm quite some times in the past few days despite being busy with the research. What I want to know is if he told you himself or if this realization of yours is based on evidence."

"Oh-"Myria reacted, "He did tell me on the day Clara left, and he also went with her in the form of a disguise."

"…"

Evelynn's expression sank even though she knew it was always the case. On the other hand, Myria blinked.

Did she just reveal it, hoping not to offend Evelynn? She guessed she was now a full part of this harem, aware of the hierarchy. However, she shook her head. That wasn't important. She was here for two reasons: to deliver the research report in order to see him smile and to console him.

"That idiot…"

However, Mingzhi clenched her teeth. She firmly tightened her fists, looking all pissed, before she walked towards the door and smashed it open with her physical strength.

"You rogue. You stopped me from acting out but went out yourself to die!? I told you if we're going to die, then let's go together-"

"Aaaahn~"

A huge moan escaped from a woman on a bed, startling Mingzhi as she reeled back.

"What the- "

Her lips parted, wondering if she had walked into some other room, but she saw Davis's figure above the bed. He seemed to be holding a woman's cheeks and doing something salacious.

"You-!"

Mingzhi's anger reached a peak as she pointed at him. However, she narrowed her brows, realizing that they weren't naked or kissing. Instead, what Davis was doing was just holding the woman's head as she moaned. She could see life energy flow around them.

Evelynn and Myria were also startled by the moan, but looking closer, they figured it wasn't the case. They moved past Mingzhi, who appeared closer to him.

They saw the woman on the bed was none other than Katherine Hilltail.

Davis took his hands away from Katherine Hilltail and frowned at them.

"I told you all not to disturb me. You never listen, do you, Mingzhi?"

"…" Mingzhi's brows twitched.

She wanted to retort but wanted to know what's going on here.

Davis's frown turned into a smile, "Took you all long enough to lose patience, though."

He flew from the bed, leaving Katherine Hilltail writhing on the bed as she made a funny face. He went ahead and washed his hands using the bucket of life-attributed water before turning to look at the three of them.

"Katherine decided to volunteer herself to my experiments regarding the evolution of the magical beast core induced through life-attributed techniques. I think I'm only a bit away from managing to make her evolve or mutate into a higher variety of bloodline, although I suppose she could do it herself after reaching the Empyrean Stage using her privilege as a King-Tier Beast, but what I want to do is make her evolve now."

"Yesh~"

Katherine Hilltail deliriously muttered.

She slowly regained her breath and sat up, her eyes flickering with euphoria.

"I didn't expect the experiment to feel good, as I can still remember the last time I burst apart. However, I believe master. He succeeded the second time, and he will succeed a third time." Katherine Hilltail looked embarrassed.

Mingzhi blinked, "Don't you care if this experiment goes south? Any changes made to the core remains a dangerous risk, after all. The children also love you and can't bear to lose you."

Katherine Hilltail shook her head, "I've had so much fun here playing with the kids. Everyone is good to me, but I am not useful. With the recent dangers, I can't help with battles but if it's to improve the bloodline of every beast in this family, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my body and soul. I want to be of help, so let me help, please~"

She clasped her hands and looked at them pleadingly.

"…"

Mingzhi and the others turned to glare at Davis, thinking he was taking advantage of her kind thoughts.

"Hehem~"

Davis coughed. He also felt bad to experiment on Katherine Hilltail again when he had previously blown her up, but in these dire times, his bottom line keeps falling further. He had also gained Katherine Hilltail's consent when she came to him by herself, saying she wanted to be of help, so it was hard not to experiment on her.

For this experiment, he needed a willing party in body and soul. Any changes made to a magical beast core were dangerous, after all. It contained the source of the bloodline and was connected to many ancestral bloodlines in mysterious ways.

He was already familiar with Katherine Hilltail as he had previously improved her bloodline to King-Tier. Right now, he was seeking to improve her bloodline to a higher rank! To the rank of a Great Saint Magical Beast if possible!

As an avatar, that was all he could do. For the evolution of other races like spirits, he needed his main body and Fallen Heaven's help to do it and decipher the secrets.

However, looking at them still glaring at him, he guessed that he needed to come clean. It was past the execution time anyway, so it didn't matter if the entire group learned of his departure.

"Yes, I did leave when Clara left and see that I haven't taken any damage yet, so I suppose my main body is still not captured." Davis sneered.

"You-"Mingzhi pointed at him. She couldn't believe his callousness.

"Do you know what happened?" Myria narrowed her brows.

"I have zero idea." Davis spread his hands, "Let's rely on our Mingzhi to gather information, shall we?"

"You- you- you!"

Mingzhi looked like she was going to faint.

How dare he rely on her after all this mess? Did he really not care if his main body died? After all, it was possible that only the avatar exists, and he must make a new body if the main body died, which would cost tremendously considering his physical body was ridiculously strong, not to mention the cost of regaining his soul essence, which would've been lost.

Davis grinned at Mingzhi, but seeing Evelynn tear up silently, his expression changed as he added.

"Don't be so worried. I'm still sane. My main body could've decided that it was not worth making a move and left. Of course, this would've caused my friends to die a lonesome death, but there's always the option for vengeance, so don't worry. I won't die. Trust me."

"Then what about Clara? Will you just watch her get taken away by the Heaven's Warriors?"

Evelynn asked. Her eyes were moist, looking like she was holding back from crying as she bit her lips.

"..." Davis's expression flickered.

He didn't seem to have an answer to that question because of how he seemed to hesitate.
