Chapter 4867 Anything Special?
Chapter 4867 Anything Special?
"Special…" Jiayi Crystalveil uttered in a contemplative tone.
Right now, the only special thing worth noting in this realm was, of course, herself.
But she didn't think the Divine Emperor of Death was hitting on her, considering he just stopped her from fully viewing her body in all its glory. A hint of red seeped into her cheeks, but she kept thinking, wondering what would meet the Divine Emperor of Death's eyes in this realm.
But before that, her body already moved.
"Please make yourself comfortable~" She gestured to the couch nearby.
Davis nodded and walked to the couch, his finger brushing over the lacquered table before he sat on the couch and reclined, waiting for her to speak.
Jiayi Crystalveil also took a seat opposite him. She was about to serve him tea, but since this was a secret visit, she decided against it. After thinking for a few moments, she answered.
"There is not a lot that can catch your eminence's eyes. If I can think of one, it would be the Retribution Heavenly Sword Grotto, a secret realm that was created by a terrifying expert from our Greater Realm long ago. It was recently found, and many young supreme geniuses came to participate in it. In truth, the three annoying Young Masters from the Ruo, Yung, and Lute Families also participated in it."
"Oh? They didn't go to the secret realm we went to?" Davis asked, intrigued.
Jiayi Crystalveil shook her head, her crimson hair lightly swaying with her, "The world is vast, and many secret realms and resourceful grounds open all the time. There is no way all supreme geniuses will make the decision to go to the secret realm we went to. To maximize their chances of obtaining grand resources, they would also choose to go to some other secret realm."
She then wryly smiled, "I presume not more than thirty percent of the Greater Realm young supreme geniuses showed up in the Elemental Dimension Secret Realm. The secret realms found or organized by major powers alone are more worth the time than aimlessly searching in the Elemental Dimension Secret Realm."
"I see." Davis nodded, agreeing to the explanation, "Then what about the Retribution Heavenly Sword Grotto?"
"I'm not sure since I just heard about it after coming to this realm. I think it was rumored to belong to the Retribution Sword Autarch, in essence, an Absolute Primarch."
Davis raised his brows. An Absolute Primarch was indeed comparable to a Venerable Knight, but by the sound of it, they appeared to be a sword cultivator, and a sword cultivator at that level would surely be ridiculously strong.
He could only imagine how Tanya's master, the Frostcloud Sword Empress, was. Perhaps she might be even more powerful than Fairy Qiyra Darkstar. After all, a sword cultivator mainly practices killing methods like himself, and their Will was focused on cleaving through whatever is in their path. There's nothing fancy in their techniques. There was only absolute killing power, making them dangerous on the same level.
"Did the three Young Masters abandon the secret realm to come court you?"
"I don't think so. That secret realm is already over."
"Oh? So who was the winner?"
Jiayi Crystalveil smiled with some pride, "The winner is currently staying in our True Peak Emporium on the third floor, but please don't disturb them. The inheritor is a woman and is currently protected by our True Peak Emporium."
"Haha, don't worry. I won't be that Ill-mannered enough to enter a lady's room a second time- at least for today."
Davis chuckled, "What else is there? It doesn't have to be worth my time as long as it is considered special for this realm."
"…" Jiayi Crystalveil paused for a moment before she answered, "I'll create the list for you shortly. Our intelligence network is good enough to quickly get the information here in a few minutes."
"No hurry. You can go take a bath."
Davis said and continued to keep looking at her eyes boldly.
Jiayi Crystalveil knew she was teasing her since she knew he was quite the womanizer, but easygoing. Her expression didn't fade as she said, "If I keep the Divine Emperor of Death waiting, I wouldn't even know how I died. My discomfort can last longer for a bit."
She took out a messaging talisman and contacted someone, telling them to bring what Davis asked for.
"My people will bring the list, so I'll have to plead for you to hide again."
"It's not a problem."
"…"
"…"
The two of them then turned silent.
The atmosphere became awkward as they were staring at each other, and there wasn't even any tea to sip on.
Jiayi Crystalveil became increasingly tense, wondering why he was staring at her this intensely, but then it dawned on her, causing her lips to move, "It is not polite for a man to peep into a woman's heart."
Davis blinked before he reclined again, "My apologies. I'm still exploring my new powers, and you were subconsciously using powers to fool my Heart Intent, so I couldn't help it."
"…" Jiayi Crystalveil's heart shook.
She smiled lightly, perhaps even forcefully, "It is a result of my coming into dealing with you. I learned a technique to deflect and fool Heart Intent and came to practice it to a subconscious level, so I don't get taken advantage of during business meetings and deals over the last few years. Although I wasn't sure if it would work on the Divine Emperor of Death, I assumed it would be more than enough to fool many Heart Intent users."
"Interesting." Davis nodded, "It is indeed enough to fool a Heart Intent user who has comprehended Level One Intent. I suppose that's how you managed to deal with Heaven's Warriors and other members of your True Peak Emporium who doubted your business relationship with me."
Jiayi Crystalveil's smile brightened, "Indeed. It was difficult at first, but then I learned that I don't necessarily need to hide it since I am intent on making a profit out of you. My sincerity in this matter allowed me to leave scot-free."
"Haha," Davis raised his hand, rubbing his chin as he gazed at her, "What good sincerity and honesty from the Demonic Merchant of Death. You are truly one of a kind to be still talking with me after experiencing the calamity I'm going to bring to this world."
"…" Jiayi Crystalveil's smile turned wry, "The heavens forfeit a good and peaceful warrior like you. I don't know why, nor do I know what kind of calamity you will prove to be in the future, but what I do know is that you are reasonable and carefree to be going on a rampage in the world unless provoked, which is better than your average cultivator who gets enraged like a bull when insulted. I find you, the Divine Emperor of Death, more worthy to live in this galaxy than any ordinary person I've ever met."
"…"
Davis was momentarily dumbfounded. Her words didn't contain any intent to deceive or boot-lick, leaving him speechless.
He blinked, his eyes narrowing, "What makes you… think that?"
"Your wives." Jiayi Crystalveil said without hesitation, "Although you and I didn't have much of an interaction, your wives mirrored your intent. I have interacted with them a lot back in the merchant town we made near your fortress in the Wrathful Aeons Shard Region, your family was the that allowed us to keep peace and operate in an efficient manner."
"I got to know your first wife, Evelynn, who was scary but calm and gentle. She listened to my drivel and helped me tackle all the problems. Then there was Shirley, who was always full of smiles and made me feel too calculative and uptight. Whenever I conversed with her, I found myself forgetting that I'm a merchant who will take advantage of others. I must say, these two fairies made quite an impact on me."
"Oh?" Davis felt prideful and gestured for her to continue.
"Niera was elegant and shone like a princess with ulterior motives, but she was just the opposite, kind and helpful. There was Dalila, who kept an unfathomable look on her face but was immensely appreciative and acknowledged my work. Dewzai and Bylai treated me better than my siblings when they escorted us out. None of them intended to ruin me or spoil anyone's life."
"Last but not least, our meeting paved my path to becoming a true giant amidst the wealthy powers. Once my power comes to pick me up safely from the Virtuous Dawn Upper Realm, my status and influence would completely transform. I've already sent word along with the message that my death will cause the Divine Emperor of Death to be furious and all the resources will be confiscated sooner or later, so they're making their way to me as fast as possible without planning any tricks. My siblings are helpless, and their elders are furious. Truly, we share an inseparable bond- a grand business bond that will make both of us truly rich."
Jiayi Crystalveil touched her cheeks while her golden eyes shone with a hint of crystals glowing in her pupils.
"…"
