Divine Emperor of Death-Chapter 1480: Heart's Wish

Alstreim Family, Grand Alstreim City, Ancestral Hall.

Davis's avatar walked into the Ancestral Hall and saw the two Ancestors who abruptly called him.

"It seems like the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar did wonders for you two. Did both of you break into the Martial Sage Stage?"

"Yes, we are immensely grateful to you for that."

Davis frowned at Ancestor Tirea Snow's reply. Despite her grateful words, she sounded rather solemn...?

"Did something happen?" He asked in doubt.

"Davis, I think our plan to announce the marriage between Tirea and me at a later date is no longer required." Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke with a heavy sigh as he held his forehead.

"Why?"

Davis couldn't help but blink.

Everything was going well between the two Ancestors.

There were rarely any breakups in the cultivation world. When people leave, one of them ends up dying, but these two looked fairly close, making him feel confused.

"I'll make it short since I understand that you're busy." Ancestor Tirea Snow sighed, "One of my Falling Snow Sect Elders, whom I thought was on my side, ended up divulging my discreet activities to the world, and the world likely knows that I have something going on with Dian by now. It's just a matter of time before powerhouses come here, act righteously for no reason while demanding Dian to give an explanation."

"What?" Davis frowned in annoyance, "Does that Elder has anything to gain by doing this?"

"I don't know." Ancestor Tirea Snow shook her head, "All I know is that she eloped with Weapon Refining Villa's Villa Master, creating a massive scandal along with mine, but we now know who was the mastermind for all of the mess that the Falling Snow Sect experienced over the years."

Davis blinked before he calmed down.

"What's her name?"

"She was a Grand Elder named Roma Silvermoon."

Ancestor Tirea Snow took a deep breath as her bosoms heaved.

"I don't blame her if she had just gone away. Falling Snow Sect's women are like this most of the time. Once they choose a man from outside, they'll end up betraying the sect one way or another. I'm not one to speak, but so far, Dian hadn't done anything that would warrant me to betray the Falling Snow Sect, but that woman..."

Her eyes became filled with killing intent.

"She has to die! She caused so many young maidens of our sect to be kidnapped and violated!"

"So be it. No matter who comes, it is inevitable that they're going to feel regretful for the rest of their lives. that is if they even had their lives with them after coming here..."

Davis spoke, and his words were like the heavenly mandate that put a wide smile on their faces.

However...

"But before that, we have to deal with a snake that's lurking between you two..."

The two Ancestors became confused before they simultaneously realized while Davis grinned.

======

Hundreds of kilometers away from a particular Imperial Capital, two women were flying with reverberating speed, leaving the onlookers fazed as they couldn't believe such cultivators existed. Still, looking at the direction they were traveling, their expressions became discerning as they nodded their heads in realization.

If they were from that place, then the undulations of these two women made sense!

"Emine, there's no mistaking it, right? He, my beloved, came back, right?"

"Mistress Mingzhi... I'm not sure of it myself. I only heard rumors about Crown Prince Davis and Princess Isabella's marriage taking place around two and a half months ago, and I didn't dare return to check these rumors without confirming your life and death, and if Mistress needed me at a crucial time, I should be there to lay my life down in exchange for yours. Moreover, it is set in stone that I would be beheaded if I came back while your life and death is unknown in the Dark Raven Trench."

Mo Mingzhi asked as she felt excited and nervous at the same time while Emine, the hidden protector, replied with uncertainty while also reiterating her reasons for not being aware of information properly.

"I understand but stop crying already. Aren't I alive and well?"

Mo Mingzhi gently smiled as she spoke, her jet-black eyes gleaming with a hint of care towards Emine.

Emine sniffled as she flew beside the person whom she was assigned to protect. She was not flying but being carried by Mistress Mo Mingzhi's soul force. There was no longer a need for her because she had been outgrown by the person she had to protect. In truth, halfway through their journey, it had become the other way around. She had been protected by the person she had been assigned to protect, making her feel somewhat ironic.

It was ridiculous for her to see such a growth in a mortal in a time period that numbered less than a decade. She completely felt that Crown Prince Davis had to take her as one of his wives, but hearing about the cultivation heights of Princess Isabella, she didn't dare to say her opinion.

"So, Mistress... Can I know the results of your dangerous adventure?"

"Oh, so you're curious..."

Mo Mingzhi teased as Emine's expression went red as she blushed. It caused the former to let out a soft peal of laughter before she moved her sweet crimson lips.

"Unfortunately, there was no Immortal Inheritance of the Dark Raven in the Raven Empire's Dark Raven Trench. All I found were some Spirit Beast Stage and two Grand Beast Stage Dark Ravens that needed a beating for having their names become infamous due to the stupid yet flattened Raven Empire's false propaganda. They really had the gall to line up those poor Dark Ravens, or an inferior species of the Dark Raven alongside the Flood Dragon of the Ruth Empire, which later turned out to be the Earth Dragon."

Mo Mingzhi's beautiful face turned into one of anger before she calmed down.

"Although I didn't get to find an Immortal Inheritance or even know if there is one, I did manage to benefit from the Dark Raven Trench because of its rich darkness energy. No wonder it was specifically owned by the late Raven Empire. It was truly enriching enough for me to obtain this..."

Mo Mingzhi raised her snow-white hand, and the space turned dark around her palm, appearing to engulf everything in an obscure layer that couldn't be seen through.

"This...!" Emine's eyes went wide in shock!

A moment later, she couldn't help but smile widely, feeling proud in her stead.

"Congratulations to Mistress Mingzhi for obtaining a Darkness Elemental and entering Law Seed Stage!"

"Hehe..." Mo Mingzhi embarrassingly giggled, "It's a Peak-Level Earth Grade Elemental. Fortunately, I was able to defeat it with my High-Level Gold Stage Cultivation, and I have my beloved to thank for that..."

Emine couldn't help but blush more as she heard Mo Mingzhi.

"What? Do you also want a piece of him?"

"Uh...? I-"

Emine panicked as her eyes darted around, causing Mo Mingzhi to laugh.

"Haha. You don't need to hide it, Emine. I know that not only you but almost every castle maid in that imperial castle has an eye on him. That idiot doesn't know how to enjoy a life that fulfills vanity and desire, but I like it..."

Mo Mingzhi licked her lips, hastening her speed amidst Emine's thoughts that were revealed. However, the latter couldn't help but pout.

"Mistress, it isn't good to call the Crown Prince an idiot..."

"No, it's fine. Idiot is an endearing term in the mortal world..."

"Is it like that?"

"Yeah-"

The oblivious Emine didn't know better while Mo Mingzhi felt like teasing, but looking at the sprawling walls of the Imperial Capital of the Loret Empire, her eyes lit up.

She had finally arrived.

Her heart kept rapidly beating as she crossed the walls and flew towards the Imperial Castle. A few guard captains at the Fourth Stage instantly spotted her, but recognizing her as the Golden Beheader as she promptly covered herself with a golden mask, they let her through while being awed by her current undulations that were spreading from her flight.

All they knew were that she was a person from the Imperial Castle, a woman who went around claiming justice for the people while reaping evil lives. She was famous amidst the Loret Empire, and there were even talks of recruiting her in the Imperial Guards, but for some reason, it was instantly shot down by the previous Empress Clara.

Mo Mingzhi arrived in front of the Imperial Castle and stepped foot amidst the platform, noticing that the guards standing at the entrance had become a bit more powerful than the last time she saw them. Her gaze panned around before she entered unimpeded along with Emine.

Quickly, she made her way to the Throne Hall and saw that no one was there. She clicked her tongue in impatience and swiftly made her way to the ruler's room, also unimpeded by any guards who may be present before she slammed the door open.

"Cool little sis, did your big brother come back!?"

"..."

Three pairs of eyes looked at Mo Mingzhi as they blinked in confusion before their expressions wore an amused smile.

"Uhm..." Mo Mingzhi panicked, "I think I entered the wrong room..."

She stepped back the way she came in and shut the door as slowly and quietly as possible before scraming the hell out of this place.

"Husband, do maids in the imperial castle walk around like this? But, she didn't look like a maid..."

Nora Alstreim couldn't help but find it strange.

"Sigh, she's Davis's woman, or so she claims by herself..."

Logan sighed, looking at Claire before they both shook their heads. Nora didn't quite understand, but she abruptly came to possess a sleazy smile.

"Husband, it's time you go meet another one of your concubines..."

"Oh, it's already time..."

Logan scratched his head as he awkwardly excused himself out of the room while the two women went into a mode of full-blown laughter, laughing themselves out in the end as their expressions went red.

On the other end, Mo Mingzhi, who ran away to the ends of the Imperial Castle, slowed down. Her mind inwardly screamed.

'Ahh!! That's his parents! I didn't expect them to have come back as well! Well, of course, they would've come back for his marriage. You're such an idiot, Mingzhi! But who was that other woman? Nah, his father has concubines, so I guess it isn't strange for him to have two women in the same room.'

As she mused, she couldn't help imagine the same matter but with herself.

'Would I also have to be in the same room with other women if I became Davis's...?'

Mo Mingzhi pursed her lips, stopping at a corner before she sighed as she lowered her head.

'What the fudge am I doing with my life...?'

"Mistress Mingzhi, I have to go report my duties to Empress Cla- Ah, no First Princess Clara."

Emine corrected herself as she could see that Clara's father came back and became Emperor again.

"Go ahead..."

Mo Mingzhi lazily uttered before Emine nodded and took her leave. The former kept walking the pathway leading to the outside as her expression became complex. She suddenly felt dull as she lost a bit of her excitement when she felt that she had to be one among many flowers and not the sole radiantly dark flower.

'I thought that I had prepared to be a part of his harem, but it seems like I was just deluding myself...'

She wasn't a stranger to this world anymore. The majority of the men here had two or more wives if they could afford it, especially if they were wealthy. Most husbands treated their wives with a bit of fairness, treating with care and splurging their riches on them, but there were also equally trash who mistreated their wives.

She understood that just because it was polygamy didn't mean it was inherently an abusive relationship because she saw plenty of abusive monogamous relationships on Earth.

She was sure that Davis treated his women fairly, but the thought of needing to share him with other women didn't sit well with her because she had been molded by an intrinsically monogamous society. Even though polygamy was starting to become a trend back on Earth, it could only be afforded by those who possess wealth and status.

She didn't necessarily approve of it but didn't disapprove of it either as she knew some unbiased truths of the world.

'Stupid Mingzhi. You are not sharing him with others. It's the other way around. Evelynn and Isabella are sharing him with you if ever at all they agree for you to be with him...'

Mo Mingzhi shook and raised her head when her expression suddenly changed, her jet-black pupils reflecting a man walking from the entrance with four solid-looking beauties beside him.

Her eyes lit up, and her body went stiff in attention, forgetting what she all thought previously.

'Screw it. I'm going to make him mine and fulfill my heart's wish...!'

She walked forwards with stately and elegant steps, arriving in front of them before she blocked their path, standing in front of the five of them in a decisive manner as she matched her gaze with him!
