Divine Emperor of Death

Drake entered the tent after Kara entered half a minute ago.

Once he spotted her, his heart turned nervous even though he kept his expression calm.

They two were alone now!

It wasnʼt apparent when they were truly alone, but when a third-party like Davis came into the fray, this fact became painfully obvious.

Kara sat at a corner looking away from the entrance of the tent.

Her gaze which looked away and her side profile totally charmed Drake into a seamless brief dream.

Both stayed longer that for a few seconds before Kara turned to face him, ”Looked enough?”

Drake blinked as he came out of his short dream. He looked at her and opened his mouth as his lips curved, ”No, I havenʼt had enough!”

Karaʼs pupils dilated in disbelief. When was the last time this person ever taken the initiative to court her? She couldnʼt exactly remember...

”And I never will!” Darke spoke again as he felt his heart beat faster. The ambiguous atmosphere gave him the courage to once again attack her with his words.

Karaʼs lips trembled as her heart fluttered on hearing his honeyed words.

*Badump!~* *Badump!~*

Drake felt himself to be on a roll. He was never forceful with her nor aggressive, but now he felt like he couldnʼt hold himself back anymore.

He looked at her expression and didnʼt want to lose this chance. He took a step forward when suddenly Kara faltered and fell back a little.

Instantly, his heart chilled!!

It was like a bucket of ice had been poured over his head. He looked at her retreating figure and his expression turned into one of hurt.

Kara looked at his face and her heart also ached a little. She stopped moving back and said in a trembling voice, ”Drake, itʼs too sudden...”

Drake was thinking if he was too hasty when he heard her words. It was like a loving flame lit up his in his heart, making him understand her worries. He understood that she was just scared, not rejecting him.

Once he assumed it like this, his expression relaxed and a smile lit upon his face.

”Kara, I would never harm you...” He took a step again and closed in on her and sat beside her.

Kara also understood what he said and replied in a meek voice, ”Sorry...”

She ran her fingers through her pure white hair as she slightly glanced at him.

Drake looked at her warmingly but didnʼt reply.

Both of them knew that they liked each other but it turned out that it was difficult to take the next step.

Drake knew that Kara had a lot in mind, weighing down on her from taking the next step. He didnʼt mind it and was willing to give her some space and time to consider.

But that didnʼt mean, he was going to let go of her that easily.

”Kara...” Drake whispered.

She turned to look at him as her face turned red from being in such close proximity, where even their eyes were only a few centimeters apart.

”I love you...” Drake didnʼt say much but his eyes and tone were sincere enough to melt away her defenses in an instant.

Kara became engrossed with his eyes when he moved his face to her a little and planted a kiss on her lips.

She stiffened and widened her eyes but when she felt the soft and warm embrace on her lips, he retreated and smiled.

”Iʼll forever cherish you...” Drake said and turned his face away.

Kara kept looking at him stunned. Her thoughts were a mess and it was almost jumbled to recollect herself.

In a few seconds, her jumbled thoughts finally settled at a vague notion, ʼI finally became his woman...ʼ

...

The next morning.

After they rested and cleared the area as they removed the defense formations, they started to hunt again for magical beasts.

Drake and Karaʼs purpose in coming here to this Tyrannical Blue Ape Mountainous Range was clear as a sky. Other than for training, they were in it for the wealth.

These magical beast corpses and cores would net them an enormous amount of spirit stones, especially if they hunted Mid-Level Grand Beast Stage Beasts where each of their cores would sell from 1,000 to 10,000 depending on the rarity and demand.

Of course, these amounts were nothing to Davis as he could now actually produce High-Level Sky Grade Pills and sell them for a price that begins from 10,000 to 100,000. These Low-Level and Mid-Level Magical Beast corpses and cores did not enter his eyes at the moment.

From this, it could be seen how lucrative alchemy was and at the same time, it also burns wealth like anything since the ingredients donʼt appear for free unless someone provides the ingredients for free in exchange for the pill and its concocting cost.

”Davis, where are you from?”

Davis was startled as he heard the question from Drake. He turned to look at him and answered, ”Iʼm not from this territory but I am currently staying in the Royal Xuan Capital.”

”I see...” Drake noticed that Davis didnʼt reply anymore and promptly dropped the topic.

He guessed that the other party didnʼt want to reveal about his whereabouts and presumed that it was only normal.

Last time, their introductions were cut short from the ambiguous atmosphere created by him and Kara, so they werenʼt able to continue with that topic.

He looked around and seeing that there werenʼt any magical beasts in sight, he turned to look at Davis and spoke, ”What about your family? Do you have one here?”

Davis nodded his head and didnʼt reply to that question but questioned, ”What about yours? Excluding your parents and other than Kara who seems to be slightly in love with you, what about the other women she spoke about?”

Drake went startled! He turned to look at Kara who also held some curiosity in her eyes. Resigning himself to fate, he spoke, ”Itʼs complicated...”

”Whatʼs so complicated? You said that before! Why donʼt you just tell me... This isnʼt like you...” Kara looked at him with an anxious expression on her face.

The man she took a liking to still refused to reveal his worries to her... This made her a little frustrated, and at the same time made her believe that she was not even equal to those five women whom he shared those nights with, making her feel uneasy.

After all, she had already decided to become his last night.
