Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 3006  Wants

"You…"

Saintess Lunaria lightly breathed out before she shook her head.

"Who are you…?"

"…"

Davis blinked. Wasn't he just addressed as the Divine Emperor of Death by her a while ago?

However, he didn't know that Saintess Lunaria was asking this question from the bottom of her heart.

Indeed, Saintess Lunaria knew what this calamitous treasure could do, harming even its own user, but since it did not, she imagined that it must have a destiny with this person, perhaps the highest compatibility it ever had with its lifetime.

Otherwise, she couldn't make sense of how he was still alive after going and creating Emperor-Tier Nine Lives Gracious Fox and Emperor-Tier dark-attributed wolf that also seemed to be of a similar legendary race.

However, she was also highly confused. She figured that this treasure embodied the Laws of Karma and Death to be able to extinguish souls anywhere, but it even seemed to be capable of bestowing mutation or evolution to an immortal beast?

Quickly, her emerald eyes gleamed as she blinked once before closing her eyes and shaking her head.

"Forgive my rudeness. I shouldn't be nosy about other people's secrets."

Davis shook his head in response, "No, I understand. For a person of your stature, there's not much that would invoke your curiosity."

"Oh? Are you stating that I am old?"

"Haha~ How can I when Saintess is still a young and beautiful Immortal Empress?"

"…" Saintess Lunaria blinked twice. A second later, her lips moved behind her white veil.

"You're a strange man."

"…"

Davis was confused by her reply as he felt like she would laugh or tease him for being brazen.

But for her to say that he was strange, did he flunk a test or something?

Regardless, Davis shrugged. Excluding his women, after being around devastating beauties like the Celestial Fairies, he wasn't awkward, and neither was he worried about the consequences of complimenting her as Saintess Lunaria seemed playful enough. She had lived for millions of years, so he presumed she would know what flirting or harassment would truly look like, trusting that she would not be offended.

He gestured to the Saintess and brought her around, introducing her to his wives like she was truly their guest.

Evelynn lightly nodded her head upon being introduced.

"Congratulations. I wish you to have a healthy baby."

However, Saintess Lunaria instantly saw through Evelynn as she wished her, causing the latter to feel gratified.

Isabella and Shirley were also honored to see this legend, but Natalya was staring at her with scrutiny. After some time, she looked quite approving.

"…"

Davis didn't even want to know what his naughtiest wife was thinking.

But before Davis could proceed further, he saw that Saintess Lunaria's gaze kept falling on Everlight, who was still on his shoulder. He couldn't help but conceal a smile as he knew that she felt immensely curious about the runes inscribed on Everlight's body.

He had some insights already, but his intent was quite low to actually comprehend the magnificence of Everlight's runes. The same went for Nadia's as her ultimate species technique could insights, but when one realized that when reading a scroll, they're staring at a recycled dead skin, decoding some artificial marks while indeed massacre millions in an instant.

One might think that staring at a rune inscribed on a body was just superstition and that it wouldn't do anything for one to learn insights, but when one realized that when reading a scroll, they're staring at a recycled dead skin, decoding some artificial marks while at the same time visualizing an entry to another world vividly, they would know that it was not false.

Therefore, Davis knew how important Everlight was to Saintess Lunaria, who never had a chance to improve her Life Laws in who knows how many years. To her high yet bored self, it was probably the only thing that would make her experience what it is meant to be alive again.

"Is there something on my face?" He turned and pointed at himself.

"…"

Saintess Lunaria's gaze finally met his.

She saw that he was not the same man who nearly had a hard-on just by hearing her voice when they first met, causing her to sigh inwardly. It was like she was dealing with a stoic man who wasn't interested in her at all, which was not something she had ever experienced as every man she had come across more or less possessed unrequited feelings for her.

But the thing was, she could tell that he was nowhere near stoic but quite the womanizer with the blindingly beautiful woman around him, so she was quite intrigued by the fact that he wasn't simply charmed by her. But at the same time, her focus wasn't on him now.

"Alright, I'll be honest. I would like to have Everlight for a few months."

'I thought so~'

Davis inwardly cried as he saw Saintess Lunaria bring her arms to her waist and fold her arms. Her huge bosoms perked up, but she seemed oblivious to it, staring at him with her brows creased a bit as though she knew she was engaging in a losing negotiation.

"In exchange, I'll teach you Life Laws that even Myria is after. This will be an equivalent exchange, so there's little to worry about karmic burden transferring over one to another."

"…"

Davis took a moment to collect himself before he smiled wryly, "Saintess Lunaria, my Everlight is not up for this matter. I can't give her away, no matter the benefits someone offers to me."

"Why? Do you think that I would truly devour Everlight or use her blood to improve Shimei's constitution?"

Having laid out this openly, Davis blinked. The next moment, he nodded his head.

"Indeed. Call me overcautious or simply rude, but I simply don't believe or place faith in someone until I think I know them enough."

"…"

Saintess Lunaria was silent. It was unknown what she was thinking before she opened her mouth after a few seconds.

"Fair enough. However, I truly want her to improve my Life Laws and wouldn't harm her no matter what, as she's my only cultivation interest at this point, as you might've figured out. So what do you propose?"

Davis saw that she didn't seem to be offended as she maintained a calm demeanor, one truly fitting of her stature. Her words made him inwardly heave a sigh of relief, and since she was going out of her way to make her stance clear, Davis felt like he shouldn't be that stubborn.

He frowned, "Let me ask Everlight first."

But a smile overcame his face as he raised his hand over his shoulder and patted Everlight's soft head. She was now a bit comfortable as she hung over and looked at Saintess Lunaria with curiosity.

"Everlight, are you willing to leave with Saintess Lunaria?"

"I'll do what master thinks I should do."

There was no hesitation in Everlight's voice, but Davis wasn't satisfied with the answer.

"Everlight… no matter what decision you take now, I will not abandon you. You have earned it."

"My answer is the same."

Everlight's lightning-speed response left Davis speechless. Seeing him being dumbfounded, Everlight licked his cheeks as she joyfully whimpered. Her cute, melodious voice made Davis's mind melt.

Davis was indeed moved. Since Everlight was considering his position in this matter and fully handing over her autonomy or freedom to him, he knew he had to treasure her more. However-

'Considering Everlight's growth and future...'

"Alright, I agree to send her over for a month on two conditions."'

Davis crossed his arms and spoke, causing Saintess Lunaria's brows to widen as though she was a hawk looking at her prey.

"Let's hear it."

"First, Saintess will have to provide Everlight with numerous life-attributed resources to Everlight, especially the ones that increase her prowess. Second, Saintess will have to make sure she is in a state where she can pass her Immortal King Beast Tribulation."

Hearing the deal, Saintess Lunaria's brows creased.

"What's her karmic burden like?"

Getting to this matter, Davis's smile turned wry.

"Perhaps, as strong as mine." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

"Impossible~"

Saintess Lunaria waved her hand, appearing to be in disbelief.

"Haha, I'm just kidding, but I bet it's far more than yours."

"Do you realize what you're saying?"

Davis confidently smiled in response.

"It's an equivalent exchange, isn't it? Then the parties are us, and the value is decided by demand. The thing you, the highest and most magnificent being, want the most is Everlight, and the thing Everlight and I want is the most to have her enter Immortal King Stage. I think it's a fair trade, just like how you deemed that your Life Laws taught to me was worth Everlight's Nine Lives Gracious Fox Empress Runes."

Saintess Lunaria took two steps back, appearing to lose her footing. But Shimei came forward and balanced her with her head, causing Saintess Lunaria to look at him with disbelief.

"You talk sweetly, but you're bad as a wicked merchant waiting to swipe all my wealth in one fell swoop."

She sighed, "But fine. The immortal herbs I grow with care and passion in my garden are meant to be used for these kinds of situations. You have a deal."

"…" Davis blinked.

That was easily accepted. She didn't even raise the months?

Could he have been undercut intentionally without him becoming aware of it?

'Oh… the time chambers…' He realized.

He subconsciously thought that since Saintess Lunaria was a peak existence, she shouldn't be able to enter a time chamber, but it looked like she could and was willing to squander an extreme amount of resources for this opportunity.

However, Davis shrugged.

The most important thing to him right now about Everlight was that she entered the Immortal King Stage. He was at an impasse over how to go about it and intended to hunt for treasures that would increase Everlight's prowess in his upcoming endeavors but with Saintess Lunaria's personal visit, he felt like he should grasp the opportunity while he could.

"Now, Everlight."

Saintess Lunaria reached out her hands and conjoined the edge of her palms as though wanting Everlight to hop into her hand's embrace.

"Come to this old lady waiting with the finest treats you could possibly get your paws on~"

"…"
