Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 1729 - Soul Pact

Davis just checked some records of spirits and humans and came to know pacts between humans and spirits were once a thing, shared by a human and spirit who trusted each other like certain magical beast pacts that allowed both parties to enjoy equality yet lost to the annals of time or intentionally destroyed.

"Here."

And as expected, Fallen Heaven answered with its rough voice.

Information rushed into his soul before he became aware of a soul technique called…

[Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact - Peak-Level Emperor Grade]

It only took him a second to understand its details and five seconds to comprehend its intricacies, feeling that it was quite similar to the Transitory Beast Taming Pact.

Davis, who had his eyes closed open before he gazed at them with a bit of intensity. Both Natalya and Iesha noticed his gaze, and at the same time, they wondered that if he became jealous to see them hug each other.

"Natalya," Davis's lips moved, "If I said that you and Iesha can be together, then-"

"Davis, you misunderstood…! I'm not a woman like that…"

Natalya hurriedly shook her head as she let go of Iesha while the latter appeared confused.

"…"

Davis blinked before he looked away.

"Pfft…!"

He couldn't hold back his laughter but managed to not burst into a fit of laughter.

"Sorry, I misworded." Davis possessed a wide smile, "I mean, Iesha's presence is obviously beneficial for you. So, I asked if you and Iesha can cultivate together from this moment forth using a pact, similar to what I have with Nadia."

"A soul pact!?"

Both Iesha and Natalya appeared shocked as their eyes widened, their mouths opening agape.

"Iesha, it seems like you already know about soul pacts."

Davis looked at her with a nod, but he narrowed his eyes, looking at her appear disappointed.

"What's wrong?"

"Davis, how can you want your second wife to be enslaved by me. I… I-"

"What? Enslaved? No, this is a soul pact where both parties share equal rights and benefits."

"Something like that exists?"

Iesha widened her eyes while Davis couldn't help but chuckle.

"Looks like your spirit world ancestors kept this as a secret, reducing humans to mere slaves and labor to be controlled. In actuality, when two or more people are concerned, even if those people consist of different races, the soul pact usually consists of three types. Ones that sacrifice oneself to enrich the other person, one that forcefully brings benefits to only one person as it sacrifices the other person, or one allows both parties to share sacrifices and benefits. This is the third type."

Davis explained with a smile on his face, but it faded before he pursed his lips, understanding that they were not still convinced to at least try.

He looked at Natalya, who appeared unsure before he spoke.

"Natalya, Iesha is practically a Spirit Attribute Source who had evolved and become human-like. Forming a pact with her isn't an act of betrayal, so don't worry. And you, Iesha,"

He turned to look at the hesitant spirit.

"It is said that spirits also receive benefits from the human they formed the pact with, so you don't need to worry that we're taking advantage of you."

"Furthermore, both your cultivation speed would drastically increase than just staying together and cultivating if one used this pact, but there are also a few advantages one can unlock by the two parties trusting each other. Besides, without willingness and basic trust as a basis, you can't form this pact, so it's all the more acceptable for us to try using this spirit pact technique, but it's a pity I have to wait for some more time before I can try it out myself."

"You mean…"

Natalya appeared confused.

"Indeed, I will use this spirit pact on Eldia if she decides to become a spirit."

"Master~"

A streak of lightning shot us before it possessed the silhouette of a curvy little lightning empress.

"I will become a spirit!"

"Wha-?"

Iesha appeared taken aback by Eldia's arrival from within Davis. Eldia's melodious voice reverberated as if was the sound of thunder, making her understand that she was his Spirit Attribute Resource. She didn't think that he had a Lightning Elemental in his body, which made her feel a bit frustrated for reasons she couldn't understand.

"I… I want to form a soul pact with you~"

She suddenly voiced out, causing Davis to look at her surprise before a content smile appeared on his face. He didn't think that Iesha would show her affection towards him this way after hearing about it.

On the other hand, Natalya smiled ruefully as she shrugged. She was rejected even before she could try.

However, Iesha and Eldia suddenly matched gazes with each other, a solid unfriendly intent forming between them.

Davis and Natalya, who looked at them, wondered if Iesha wasn't offended by human nor magical beast women being his partners but by a spirit inside him?

How did this logic work? Was it solely because she was a spirit? Or because ice and yin were in yin in nature and lightning was in yang in nature, making it distasteful for them to see each other?

"Hmph!"

Both Iesha and Eldia harrumphed at the same time before the latter shot back into Davis's dantian but stopped right before entering and gestured with a 'come on' as if to provoke her.

"You…!"

"Shishi~"

Eldia strangely cackled at Iesha's twisted expression before she entered his dantian. However, before Iesha could explode with wrath, he went ahead and captured her hands, causing Iesha to freeze; become stiff.

"Alright, alright. Don't fight. Eldia is just messing with you."

Iesha's angered expression had withdrawn. She could only feel his warm hands, and the matter before had already dispersed from her mind.

Davis also noticed that she had become meek under his grasp that he couldn't help but suddenly feel that this was the right time.

"Iesha, will you be mine?"

"…!"

Iesha shook in his grasp that he could feel her fingers tremble. He waited for her response with expectations, but even after ten seconds, he didn't receive an answer which made him feel agitated.

Did he fail? New chaptᴇrs are published on ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

Iesha had her head lowered after being asked by him. She finally raised her head, and when she did, her limpid white eyes looked as if they were about to overflow with tears.

"How can I become yours when I am… already yours."

"…?"

Davis became taken aback by her answer.

The incident where he entered her soul sea came to his mind before he reached out his hands around her neck and embraced her, pulling her into his embrace. He could feel her tears stain her robe. It was chill like her body, like hugging a glacier, but she gradually turned warm in his embrace.

'As I expected. The yin and yang aspects of male and female didn't change for spirits. They're practically the same as humans in this aspect.'

He mused that a fire spirit would also cool to accommodate the partner after being intimate for a few seconds, almost as it was a natural defense mechanism to disallow people with a lower strength to hug them.

'Nature is scary yet soft…'

Davis could feel her warmth increase, becoming more prominent over her big bosoms… He hugged her tightly and could feel her warmth increase more as if she was truly melting in his embrace, making him feel otherworldly.
