Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 2348 For The Greater Good

"Sophie is on the fifth floor in the Blazing Dawn Illumination Formation." Shirley responded to Davis's question, "Ideally, I advise not disturbing her as I figure she's in the junction of entering the Emperor Soul Stage because her Solitary Soul Avatar is also unable to be contacted as I contacted earlier."

"I see."

Davis held the pitch-black scythe with some emotion as he rubbed on its curved blade and felt the sharp edge with his finger as he traced, comprehending that the artisanship was also oozing out to his liking. Sophie certainly knew of the shape of the armaments he preferred as they had talked about it before, so the pitch-black scythe was practically made for him in every way possible.

"When she comes out, tell her I said she's forbidden to forge or cultivate for an entire week. That sweet girl works too hard..."

"We all told her to take a break as she had also made armaments for us as part of her forging practice or routine, but she's not listening..." Shirley heaved a sigh, "Most likely, it's because she wants us to be better equipped, giving us an edge if we're unable to win using our full prowess. However, because we're improving at a tremendous rate and there are so many of us with different attributes, she can't afford to stop for a break either."

"At least Tina and Dalila have each other to concoct pills, but Sophie is all alone in her forging experience. Should I also learn forging?"

"I appreciate you wanting to help Sophie, but..." Davis smilingly shook his head.

"Forging isn't something you can learn to Sophie's level in a short amount of time just because you want to help her. Not only has she learned to smith, but she also learned inscriptions and other knowledge that is not much inferior to learning Alchemy."

"Besides, Forging is usually a man's job as most women don't like to be in front of a flaming forging table that makes them sweat beyond compare. Not only is it as mentally taxing as Alchemy, but it also requires a certain level of passion. Without it, Forging would be a chore that one would quickly lose motivation. It's best not for a princess like you to dive into it."

"Hehe~ You're right."

"Don't misunderstand me. I'd have you learn Forging if you're passionate about it."

"No, I'm not passionate about Forging." Shirley inclined her head and smiled adorably, her crimson eyes fluttering, "I excel at cultivation, but I also want to be a spoiled princess, your most spoiled wife."

"Ahaha."

She was forthright and had funny mannerisms with the way she gestured and moved, causing him to laugh at her antics as he patted her head.

"But as you said, Shirley. It would be better if Sophie had a forging companion. I wonder if Bylai could help her..."

"Earth attribute is indeed a huge help in forging to any fire-attribute forgers..." Shirley placed a finger on her lips, "They're like the foundation of the support, practically taking half of the burden from the forger's shoulder, or so I heard..."

"Moreover, Bylai has also comprehended Metal Laws, so if she helped Sophie, it would be great."

Davis nodded, causing Shirley to pat her curvaceous peaks that had milk inside.

"Don't worry! I'll talk to her or wait. I'll have Isabella talk to her. Bylai respects Isabella more than me."

"But don't force it. Generally, women don't like Forging, so keep that in mind."

"Yes, my emperor." Shirley bowed, "Your wish is our command."

"Is that so?" Davis smiled lightly, "Remove your clothes."

"… No can do." Shirley's expression became stiff as she captured his shoulders and turned him around, pushing him out as she moved her lips, "I can't waste your time. Besides, you should hurry up and become an immortal, or we'll all soon overshadow you. At that time, you can't blame us if we all team up against you!~"

*Bang!~*

Turning around and looking at the closed door, Davis couldn't help but chuckle, knowing that Shirley felt shameful to be doing it in her master's room. He didn't find it offensive, keeping the pitch-black scythe in his soul sea before walking out to the ground floor with a wide smile on his face as he was rather happy about everything his women did for him.

Instead of lazying about, they were highly reciprocating. Even Fiora and Mingzhi, the most playful of them all, were nowhere to be seen, most likely training in their respective formations, the Lucent Windstorm Valley Formation on the third floor and the Lunar Yin Midnight Formation on the fourth floor.

If it weren't for Eterna and Celestia, even Shirley and Isabella would be in their respective formations.

Besides, with the scythe he received, he could sense that Sophie had already entered the Law Rune Stage and Martial Overlord Stage, probably having created a Supreme Immortal Rune and Crest. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to be so precise in creating this scythe.New chapters are publɪshed on NovelEnglish.net

He could see that the effectiveness of the miraculous formations here and the Essence Orbs they possessed allowed them to cultivate by leaps and bounds.

Nonetheless, even before he could reach the ground floor, Shirley appeared beside him and grabbed his arm, walking along as she stuck close to him. Davis couldn't help but rub her head, thinking she really wanted to be spoiled.

After they reached the ground floor, they saw Evelynn and Isabella still engaged in a conversation. Lea was also there as she held cute little Nadia in her arms, and they made up for a wonderful trio that caused Davis's imagination to go elsewhere but was quickly brought back by a secretive pinch from Shirley, who shot his tongue out at him.

She instantly ran away from him and stood among them, displaying her curves as she posed.

"…"

Davis could only wonder if she wanted him to enjoy the sight of four beauties instead of three beauties. Nonetheless, he thanked her in his heart for this wonderful sight.

Meanwhile, Lea was slightly taken aback. Davis and Shirley didn't do it? Were they concerned about how she would feel?

"Davis, thank you for healing Ancestor Cornelia."

"No problem, Lea." Davis's expression then became solemn as he looked at Isabella and Shirley.

"You two are almost going to peak all three of your cultivations. What are you going to do about your immortal tribulations?"

Both Isabella and Shirley shook their heads, "As we had already decided, it's not wise for us to go out."

"Agreed," Shirley continued, "The Earth Dragon Clan and Fire Phoenix Clan would be able to trace us, inheritors, as we are capable of doing so, as mentioned by the masters of the inheritances. It is especially irresponsible of me if I want to go out, so I'll rather stay and improve to the extreme in the mortal realm."

Davis blinked. That might've been what he felt before coming here, but as Nadia was already extremely strong, the things he felt like he could do vastly opened up.

"Well, are you sure that this Immortal King Palace would be able to block that tracing formation? Just how many times would they be able to use it? They might've already used it once after we arrived for all we know, so it may be sometime before they could use it again."

Isabella and Shirley looked at each other. They didn't know the specifics of the tracing formation, how it could be used, how much energy it consumed, or the interval it could be used. Since they had no idea, they decided to stay inside, thinking that an Immortal King Palace should at least be able to ward off tracing.

"Well," Isabella pursed her lips, "Even if you convinced me, I'm waiting for the King-Tier Blood Essence."

She then turned to look at Shirley, causing the latter's eyes to turn sharp as they narrowed.

"I'll see how it goes first. I'm in no hurry, and it's better if our people become powerful overall. After all, once found, it's safer to assume that it would turn into a calamity. No matter what, I don't want to be separated from you all."

"Alright."

Davis nodded his head.

Since they decided, he no longer prodded them.

Shortly after more conversations about themselves and the other women, he set up a few things for Nadia, put on a disguise, and left.

Evelynn stayed.

She knew that she was not an assassin for lack of concealment skills. Although she could hide very well, that was only for ambush and not going to other places to kill. She didn't think she was needed during this time, so she stayed and watched over Eterna and Celestia in turns, giving Isabella and Shirley more time to concentrate on their cultivations.

At the entrance of the estate, Davis talked to the twin brothers about the stiff silence that came off as abnormal and told them to indirectly reveal a few more insider information as though it was unintentional but not about the Alstreims but a Burning Phoenix couple living here after tragically losing their family to the Vacuous Beast calamity.

It was the prelude to make-believe. After all, Davis could now sense more gazes on him, watching him leave.

Nonetheless, after taking care of the things in the estate, he began to explore the city, the colorless thread deep within his soul surging with karmic intent that filled his eyes.

Instantly, his vision changed, becoming a world of threads and strange clouds wrapping around people.

Karmic virtue or karmic sin.

No matter what karmic nature it was, everything came into his vision, but most of the people had pitifully low or even none. However, he was not discouraged, continuing to walk amidst the streets as he arrived at the central plaza.
