Chapter 4866 What's In The Dawn Triad Minor Realm?
Akarr Ruo looked like the happiest man in the world, "My future wife, if it isn't too much, can we enter the True Peak Emporium together?"
Jiayi Crystalveil looked below, her gaze falling on him.
"Akarr Ruo, I must politely decline and further request that you stop calling me that. I thought I made my intentions clear, even back before I left for the secret realm. I still respect you as someone who shared a name in a contract with me, so please stop pressuring me."
Akarr Ruo's expression turned awry, "Oh- no! I will never pressure you. I truly love you, and I will do anything to obtain your trust and affection. If you can consider my words today positively, I will be extremely grateful. Also, I will quickly breakthrough to the Autarch Stage and will still possess a prowess greater than now, enough to be called a Kingly Autarch, so please do not worry about our future prospects."
"I will take your words into consideration."
Jiayi Crystalveil's cold voice echoed. More voices called out to her, but she didn't say anything and descended, walking into the True Peak Emporium.
She was received by her entourage, who came out with her from the secret realm, including her little brother Ragoon Crystalveil.
Ragoon Crystalveil's handsome face was now stiff and pale.
He looked as though he had come out from some horror-dramatic play, his wide eyes searching for Davis's silhouette before he walked in, following his elder sister. All eyes were on Jiayi Crystalveil and her shaking hips, so no one discovered anything strange.
The Three Young Masters also followed her in silently. They didn't seem to want to disturb her and get on her bad side.
"…" Davis appeared intrigued as he saw this scene.
It was like three princes from different kingly countries were trying to court the unmarried Empress of a great Empire.
'A pity… There was not even a shred of truth to Akarr Ruo's words. He is just a toad who wants her wealth and the power and resources the Dawnbreaker Family would give him in order to obtain her…'
With the power of Heart Intent, the whole spectacle seemed beyond amusing to him.
Even Jiayi Crystalveil was just acting polite, wanting to wave off these pesky flies away as soon as possible, as she felt disgusted by their actions.
As astute and smart as she was, he could tell that they were all sent by the major ruling powers.
With a chuckle, Davis disappeared.
Inside the sixth floor, a floor that wasn't visible from the outside due to being a spatial zone designed for VIPs, Jiayi Crystalveil arrived. Even if the other parts of the building were shabby, only this place wasn't. It held a powerful defensive formation and other formations that could defend against Peak Autarchs.
The branches in more popular places could even defend against Peak Primarchs.
But since it was just a Minor Realm's branch, it wasn't raised to an extreme level, but this was already good.
However, these formations were unable to stop Davis.
Jiayi Crystalveil entered a VIP chamber, mumbling that her little brother looked strange, but after breaking through, she was tired and wanted to take a bath.
The chamber was silent as her soul sense surveyed it.
Jiayi Crystalveil exhaled softly as the door sealed behind her, the formations humming faintly as layers of isolation settled into place. Only then did the rigid elegance in her posture loosen, her shoulders dipped an inch, fatigue finally surfacing after days of escaping with cargo and tribulation.
She lifted her hands and loosened the clasp at her collar.
The outer crimson robe slid free first, falling from her shoulders like liquid silk. Reflective light traced the embroidery along its hem as it pooled at her feet. Beneath it, a fitted jade-green inner robe clung to her form, emphasizing the graceful curve of her waist and the long line of her legs.
She stepped forward, bare feet touching the warm jade floor.
One ribbon after another was untied. Her movements were unhurried, methodical, as though shedding layers of identity rather than clothing. The jade robe loosened, exposing pale skin at her collarbone, smooth and unblemished, still faintly glowing with residual energy from her breakthrough.
Her crimson veil came next.
She lifted it slowly, revealing her full features in the mirror. Those vixen-like golden eyes regarded her reflection coolly, calculating and prideful. The veil was set aside with care.
Behind her, unseen, the air remained frozen.
"…" Davis's lips parted, not expecting to undress the moment she came in.
He knew this was going to be very wrong if he didn't show himself, but if he did show himself, it was also going to be very wrong.
But Jiayi Crystalveil continued without pause. She reached for the sash at her waist.
The inner robe slid lower, baring the elegant slope of her shoulders, the smooth expanse of her back. Her hair cascaded freely now, crimson strands spilling down like a waterfall of flame, brushing against exposed skin.
"That's enough."
A voice came from behind, causing her to shoot up like a startled cat as her heart sank.
"Who!?"
She turned around, her figure swaying as her arm swung with her finger pointing out, appearing deadly. The moment she saw Davis, she was alarmed and screamed.
"A bandit!? Rapist!? Help!" She shouted and shot out a poison dart that came from the long nail claw.
"What the…! Stop, it's me!" Davis raised his hands in surrender as the poison dart struck him in his chest, only then realizing he had a disguise on.
He quickly revealed his face through illusion.
At the same time, Jiayi Crystalveil quickly took out a formation core she had just received, intending to activate it, but then suddenly came to a stop.
"Divine Emperor of Death… how…!?" Jiayi Crystalveil showed signs of panic as she looked around, wondering if someone would come here and expose their 'real' business relationship. She then spoke in a hushed voice before hurriedly realizing again she was half-naked.
She stiffened instantly, hands freezing mid-motion, the loosened robe held against her body by reflex.
"…You."
Her cheeks reddened, but she forcefully calmed herself down. Her expression was full of many emotions, disbelief, panic, and anger, but she heaved a sharp, controlled breath, her bosom heaving once.
"So this is why my little brother looked like he'd seen a ghost," she said quietly, her tone regaining composure with terrifying speed, "Divine Emperor of Death, sneaking into a lady's private chamber. Is this your idea of business etiquette?"
"I apologize, Fairy Jiayi Crystalveil. I intended to surprise you, but you started undressing as soon as you came inside, and as a gentleman, I wanted to enjoy it- I mean, stop it before I can see everything, so I revealed myself."
Davis explained calmly, yet kept his gaze flowing between her golden eyes and her voluptuous breasts.
Jiayi Crystalveil bit her crimson lips, "You should hide again…"
"No worries. I'm one or two steps ahead in this regard, whether I want to hide or kill."
Davis flicked his fingers, and the purple spatial barrier around them momentarily flickered.
Fortunately, he had covered the space with a spatial barrier, so the sound, aura, or movements made didn't seep out.
Jiayi Crystalveil's gaze shook.
It seemed like she was in his palm the moment she entered this room. She cast a wry smile before she pulled the robe tighter around herself, her aura settling into a cold dignity once more.
"Then please step back and wait until I dress myself."
"Of course."
Davis nodded and turned around.
Jiayi Crystalveil pressed her lips into a thin line, "Is the poison-"
"Doesn't work." Davis's nonchalant voice echoed.
"Alright…"
Jiayi Crystalveil also turned around and began dressing herself.
The air between them grew heavy for no reason, so she opened her mouth.
"I nearly thought you were an assassin sent after me by my siblings or those who wanted to get rid of me…" She said softly, half-relieved and half-annoyed.
Davis's lips curled, "You don't seem disgusted by my presence here, unlike the ones down."
"Well, our fates are pretty much tied." Jiayi Crystalveil giggled ever so lightly, "At least, mine is. Who knows when I will be killed now? You even pulled off a terrifying, never-before-seen or heard tribulation and came straight for me? I don't know if I should feel highly honored or downright terrified."
"So you also witnessed it? How was it?"
"Please… I fainted because I was more curious and tried to look at it for a few more seconds than necessary…" Jiayi Crystalveil sounded like she didn't want to remember.
Davis wasn't surprised since many had the same opinion. He smiled, "As I said, you don't need to worry. Besides, this is just my soul body…"
"Soul body…" Jiayi Crystalveil's eyes narrowed.
"I'm glad you realize that I pose no harm as a man."
"It's okay now, you can turn. However, I won't put it past the Divine Emperor of Death to know some soul-violating methods."
"…" Davis went speechless, but he smiled and turned, looking at her veiled face and her cold golden eyes, "I'm glad you can talk freely with a suspicious intruder late at night, especially the scoundrel called the Divine Emperor of Death. Makes a few things easier. Now tell me- is there anything special in this Minor Realm?"
