Divine Emperor of Death

As Shirley and Isabella stepped inside the hall, Davis looked at Lea Weiss and suppressed his laughter.

Now, this is what he was looking forward to, wondering how the master would face her disciple, even if their relationship had only lasted for such a short time.

"Fifth sister Shirley, you're here..."

Sophie called out with a melodious voice as she flew towards her.

"Sophie, I can see that you're very close to entering the Law Sea Stage."

"Yes! The Grand Skyfire Hammer Canon is helping my cultivation and foundation to improve vastly. Moreover, I've already created a five-kilometer domain!"

Sophie looked excited as well as deeply thankful towards Shirley.

"The Grand Skyfire Hammer Canon is a cultivation manual suitable for you. Although it's not as good or powerful as my Fire Phoenix Scarlet Flame Records, it'll vastly help your blacksmithing abilities improve. Besides, the Fire Phoenix Flames aren't the best suited for blacksmithing as its properties are different even though it still is better than most flames."

"I understand, fifth sister."

Sophie sweetly smiled, giggling at Shirley, trying not to offend her but also not give up the pride of owning the Fire Phoenix's Scarlet Flames.

Shirley pursed her lips, knowing that Sophie had found out her reservations before she turned to look at the other woman who had arrived beside her.

"Niera, what about you?"

"Fifth sister, even though the Fire Phoenix Flames is powerful, it is not to my taste." Niera shyly smiled as she pointed at Davis, "I prefer his Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Flames more."

Shirley couldn't help but giggle.

"Niera, I know your love for destruction and absolute power, but where can you find a good cultivation manual? It was a good thing that I had a suitable Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual for Sophie, but I don't have the one you are looking for. At this rate, your best sister Sophie is going to gain a significant amount of gap over you."

"I'¦"

Niera appeared hesitant when Davis's voice suddenly echoed.

"Niera, it's not that I'm not willing to give the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Firestorm World Ode to you, but even I don't know if I can find the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's blood essence, not to mention it contains a bit of fusion with lightning. Your flames will be contaminated by this property unless you want to train in Lightning Laws as well, which will double your cultivation load and give you a headache like it is giving me..."

Davis did not want to give her Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Firestorm World Ode because she did not have the same abilities as him, to be able to consume and devour souls, having the leisure to see through the correct path of following the insights required for him to improve his Laws using Fallen Heaven. Of course, he felt like he could share the insights with Niera through comprehension clouds but then, the resources they would get would be halved, and their efficiency would drop a lot, requiring them more time to cultivate.

This was not something he wished for, and neither would Niera if she learned about the requirements.

Davis went through his spatial rings to find seven Peak-Level Emperor Grade Fire Cultivation Manuals, but all of them were subpar to his Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Firestorm World Ode that he could easily see some flaws in it even with his untrained eyes.

However, he recalled that there was another fire-attributed manual that certainly wouldn't lose to their flames, perhaps even more powerful and destructive.

"Niera, I think I can get you Zestria's Fire Dragon Cultivation Manual. It's certainly destructive than the Fire Phoenix, so what do you think?"

Niera's expression appeared hesitant as her lips quivered.

"Davis'¦ I want to be your woman, but I don't want to be practicing the same main cultivation manual as my sisters."

She came clean, causing the others to grin while Davis blinked.

"Okay'¦"

He forgot that Niera was certainly a prideful woman. Although her pride wasn't as overly shown in her face, nor was it as visible as Isabella's and Lea Weiss's, deep down, she was haughty and a bit arrogant as she grew up like a princess.

She wanted to be unique, perhaps unique to him. He didn't know which but still appreciated her will to speak up her thoughts instead of being drowned by their ideas and following a path she didn't even want to take.

"If you're looking for destructive flames that are as almost powerful as our flames, then you should either try to obtain the flames of the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk or Inferno Wave Ox. Both of them were once immortal beasts but had equally regressed like our Burning Phoenix, so they aren't as powerful as our Fire Phoenix Flames but are still somewhat comparable."

Lea Weiss suddenly interjected on Davis's silence and offered her knowledge.

"Or if you don't want beast flames, then you can try finding and capturing an Emperor Grade Flame Essence like a Ravaging Crimson Star Wisp or Purgatory Inferno Flame Wisp that's ranked sixth and third in Emperor Grade Flame Essence Rankings, although I doubt if you can obtain them considering that they are extremely rare to find."

"I think I know where to find the Purgatory Inferno Flame Wisp..."

Davis added, causing Lea Weiss to turn to look at him.

"I heard from Isabella that you found a way to the Sealed Spirit Lands and brought back an ice spirit named Iesha?"

Davis nodded, but he shook his head, "Although that Flame Essence has already become a spirit, ruling a Territory under the power known as the Inferno Spirit Chamber. I think I can convince or coerce that spirit into entering a spirit pact with Niera as Iesha did with Natalya, allowing them to become both powerful."

"Spirit pact'¦?"

Lea Weiss doubtfully spoke before Davis unraveled the intricacies of the Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact, which caused all of their mouths to become agape that they couldn't help but feel that they wanted a spirit as well.

"So wondrous'¦"

Lea Weiss commented before she shook her head, "However, I'm perfectly alright with the Fire Phoenix Flames that Shirley..."

She looked Shirley deeply smile at her, causing her to purse her lips in nervousness.

"Sect Master~"

"Don't'¦ call me that..."

Lea Weiss's expression became crimson as she lowered her head, "Forgive me, Shirley. I'm sorry..."

Shirley smiled and was about to say that there was no need to apologize since she wasn't offended or anything, but her smile became playful as her crimson lips moved.

"As an apology, you've got to teach us more about skillfully using our flames and grant us insights into Fire Laws."

"Us?"

Lea Weiss blinked before Shirley pointed around.

"Not only me, but you're also going to teach my sisters Sophie and Niera."

Lea Weiss's expression didn't change at all.

"I understand. If that's what it takes for you to forgive me, then I will do it."

"Don't misunderstand, Lea."

Shirley couldn't help but giggle, causing Lea Weiss to be dumbfounded from being called with her name so casually as if it didn't bother at all.

"This isn't about forgiving or not, as I never blamed you for anything in the first place. After all, I already tried egging husband to take you as I felt that he deserved your prideful self, but he remained steadfast until you decided to be truthful to yourself and seduced him, that is..."

Lea Weiss turned to look at Davis with wide eyes while he couldn't help but turn his head away as his shoulders shook. Clearly, everyone perceived that he was silently laughing while Lea Weiss blushed heavily that even her ears and cheeks turned crimson from blood flowing to her head from this embarrassment and a bit of anger.

All this time, he made her feel like this without telling him that Shirley was already fine with being sisters to her?

"If I said it before, you wouldn't have believed it, Lea."

Davis stated when suddenly Lea Weiss turned around, refusing to look at him.

'She's sulking now'¦?'

Davis couldn't help but blink before he berated himself, knowing that age did not necessarily make a person feel transcendent and wise. Even Lea Weiss screamed at him that she was just a woman before a Sect Master, and recalling it again made him move as he appeared behind her and wrapped his arms around her soft waist, pulling her closer.

"I was wrong to have hidden this from you, okay?"

"So hateful'¦"

Lea Weiss mumbled before she leaned on him, feeling herself once again overwhelmed by her emotions towards him that she couldn't hide nor hate.

"I won't go back on my words to teach them, but you're going to have to look after me, marry me in the immortal world as it happened in my tribulation, okay?"

Davis blinked at her solemn look.

"Are you sure you don't want it now?"

"Obviously, you have so many things to do and have probably scheduled some marriages already. I can wait..."

Davis felt moved. It wasn't easy that a woman like Lea Weiss would be willing to wait.

Was this her magnanimity or the power of mother-in-law and the respect she had for her? He didn't know but uttered with similar seriousness.

"I promise it will be a dream come true for you."

"Mhm~"

Lea Weiss softly nodded, and when he leaned to kiss her, she shot out of his grasp and escaped towards Shirley, causing him to chuckle at her reactions.. She then began talking to Shirley, inquiring about how it came to this as she pointed at her grown belly while he turned to look at Sophie and Niera, wondering what their true opinion was.
