Divine Emperor of Death

"Oh...?" Davis became curious rather than offended, "What makes you say that?"

His bullshit would not work on people whose horizons were wide, and Shirley was someone who possessed a wide view of the world. And inversely, if he knew that beforehand, he can fool people who knew more as he could turn it against them like he fooled the Alstreim Family and the other hegemons into thinking that Isabella came from a Dragon Family.

Shirley knew that she was treading on a thin line here, but she still gulped and used soul transmission again.

"Because this abnormal cultivation speed and prowess of yours... It really doesn't make sense as there's no immortal existence here in the current Fifty-Two Territories. When I asked Ellia's other incarnation about your immortal master, she said that it was near impossible that an immortal existence could be present at the Grand Sea Continent and if there was, it would have to be an existence greater than an immortal, but I think that was also mere speculation on her part..."

"Oh, she said something like that...?" Davis's eyes became extremely curious, "Looks like I can learn more about this world when I capture her to interrogate her intentions."

Shirley frowned before she adorably pouted, "Personally, I don't want the two of you to fight because I consider the three of you rather close..."

Davis blinked before he smiled, "I would like the same, but it is unlikely that white-haired tyrant would listen to my words to let Ellia live freely, no...?"

Shirley bit her lips in ruefulness as she couldn't help but nod her head, "True..."

"That decides it... That white-haired witch needs a nice spanking to her butt. However, if she tries to kill me next time, I will reciprocate the same..." Davis's sapphire eyes flashed in a cold light.

Shirley blinked, "She tried to kill you...?"

"Yes, but who knows what that old monster was thinking?" Davis shrugged, "She left everyone there alive, including me when she took over Ellia, and that's the only saving grace that spared her from my killing intent."

"Nevertheless, that immortal master was just a lie for me to grow up safely. There's no use if I lie even after you've become mine, Shirley." Davis raised his brows as he smiled.

Shirley sighed before she smiled, "Figures... but don't worry. I won't pry into your secrets about your cultivation speed or those terrifying instakill talismans. I was just curious if there was really an immortal secretly roaming in the Fifty-Two Territories."

"I appreciate that..." Davis chuckled, glad that she was understanding.

He would be really put on a spot if she asked because he would have to lie or dodge the question.

As their soul transmission came to an end, Davis came to realize that a lot of time passed. It was about time for him to go back to Elder Karlheinz Strom's crimson palace and stay in his guest room, but he had already left a soul-body conjured from a portion of his soul force.

The Solitary Soul Avatar may be a soul body, but that doesn't mean that it can't produce a soul body because all it required from him to conjure a soul body was a single thing, that is, soul force.

There was the sub-requirement of soul essence to produce the soul body, but when his entire avatar was made from soul essence, it already fulfilled the condition. However, if he wanted to add soul essence to the conjured soul body, that was unnecessary because it was optional as it only served to strengthen the conjured soul body.

For ornamental purposes like fooling Elder Karlheinz Strom into believing that he was still in the room, soul force alone was enough unless he was scanned thoroughly or attacked. Then, it would become clear that he was a weak soul body, but his camouflage should work until then.

Davis knew that he could afford to spend a bit more time with Shirley when he suddenly thought of the Burning Phoenix Ridge's resources. He opened his mouth and asked.

"Shirley, do you think that there's a resource in the Burning Phoenix Ridge Treasury that could help me temper my lightning-attributed meridians to fire attribute? My Essence Gathering Cultivation is at the High-Level Law Manifestation Stage while my Body Tempering Cultivation is at High-Level Martial Master Stage if you don't know."

Shirley blinked at his rather high Body Tempering Cultivation compared to his age while Esvele also felt dizzy that she sat back on the sofa, lowering her head in mediocrity, feeling that she was in the presence of top powerhouses of the Fifty-Two Territories in the future. This was something they already knew, but when she learned that her senior sister Shirley's man was a near Peak-Level Soul King, she really couldn't help but feel that she didn't belong in their world.

It made her feel rather down, knowing that one day she couldn't be with her senior sister anymore.

"What a coincidence..."

*Click!~*

Shirley snapped her fingers that made the room instantly become sealed from leaking undulations. She deeply smiled as she took out a peculiar crimson fruit that had small s-curved wings. The surroundings instantly became hotter that Esvele felt comfortable as she breathed in essence, her essence energy automatically revolving in a greedy manner as it began to improve.

"I don't know if the Burning Phoenix Ridge Treasury has a resource that fits your criteria, but I do know that this Searing Winged-Flame Fruit would help you temper your meridians to fire-attribute."

Davis's eyes flashed as he became excited.

"Did you gain this from the mini-realm? Its aura is at the Peak-Level King Grade, not too strong, not too weak, perfect for me to temper my meridians!"

"Yes, I have one more, but I want to reward it to Esvele to improve her prowess while also appreciating her hard work. You don't mind, right?"

"Senior sister, no! I already received plenty in the mini-realm!"

Esvele shook her head and hands in a hurried manner.

"Shut up, Esvele. Obediently receive what I give you because you're going to be slaved around by me anyway..."

Shirley narrowed her eyes as she berated while Esvele stood up, increasingly moved.

Davis saw that Shirley had a similar style to him of giving out resources that he couldn't help but chuckle, "Thank you for asking, but I don't mind. You procured those resources, so you decide how to distribute them, but what about you?"

"Why would I need it when I would gain the Fire Phoenix Immortal's Blood Essence to temper my veins and meridians? Using this fruit might instead give me complications which is a drag to resolve afterward..."

Shirley wryly smiled before her lips moved again.

"I was asking if your other women needed it..."

"Actually, they do..." Davis nodded as he recalled Sophie, Niera while Tina Roxley also flashed past his mind before he shook his head, "There's two of them who train in Fire Laws, but they don't know you, and you don't know them, so you don't need to even consider them."

"What are you saying?" Shirley gawked at him, "I'm going to be sisters with them, and yet I can't meet them because of staying here. I will naturally escape from this place when I reach the Eighth Stage and return home, so until then, I cannot see them. The least I can do is gift them and make them know that I at least exist..."

"Moreover, I know mother-in-law trains in Fire Laws as well, so here are my gifts..."

Three more resources appeared as they spun around Shirley.

Davis's lips twitched as he recognized the three additional resources because of his improved knowledge in Alchemy.

Golden Asparagus Flame Shoot... Consuming it will allow one's fire law comprehension speed to increase by a few percent more than the cultivator's norm. It was verified by the ancient pill ancestors and was also used as the main ingredient to concoct a Peak-Level King Grade Pill that has the same yet bigger effect.

Unfortunately, Davis did not possess the recipe for that pill, but he still felt that this was suitable for Sophie before his gaze landed on the subsequent resource.

King Flame Floral Essence.

It was sealed in a hundred-milliliter vial, rumored to be produced by a Blazing Floral Flame Essence that was at King Grade in its floral bed.

It was similar to the Searing-Winged Flame Fruit in its ability to temper the meridians, but because of its low quantity in terms of drops, it wasn't as effective as the Searing Winged-Flame Fruit. Moreover, its grade was also lower, at the Mid-Level King Grade, meaning that it couldn't help him temper his meridians.

Davis felt that this was extremely fitting for his mother before he moved on to the final resource.

"...!"

It made him feel even more moved as he felt that it was apt for Niera, and even if he rotated the resources, it was still apt for the three!

"You know what these are...?" Shirley asked.

"Yes..."

"Great! Take them all then...!" Shirley appeared ecstatic.

Davis's lips kept twitching as he wanted to decline these gifts but looking at the advantageous effects that it had on his women and mother, he was really unable to say no to it, especially when it was one of his women who was giving these out like a tycoon.

"Come on, Davis. Don't feel shy and just accept them. I want to help them, okay?" Shirley spoke in a low, melodious voice as she pushed those resources towards him with a flick of her finger.

"Your harvests are rather bountiful, huh?"

Davis wryly smiled at her big heart as he scooped the resources into his spatial ring after keeping them in jade containers.

"Hmph! I obtained a few resources at Emperor Grade and above, but I had to hand them all over to the sect as it's an iron-clad rule. Instead, I was given points in exchange, those hateful fellows..."

Davis couldn't help but laugh, "Well, that's how a sect works..."

Shirley increasingly gritted her teeth as she fumed!

At the same time, her fiery essence energy undulations began to slightly revolve around her body, revealing that her cultivation was at the High-Level Law Dominion Stage!
