Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1547 - Averted?

Fierce Swordsmith Masterʼs expression increasingly trembled with reluctance before he turned around.

”Hmph!”

With a harrumph, he shot towards the distance, followed by Klein Swordhand quickly scraming behind as if he was afraid to stay, although he did have an indifferent expression on his way.

”Since it is established that Beauty Snow isnʼt controlled, weʼll take our leave as well.”

The three remaining powerhouses also turned around and left.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes, wanting to teach those three powerhouses a lesson.

However, with the Dragon Families here, he couldnʼt go overboard as well.

Nevertheless, he didnʼt know why these powerhouses even came here as they didnʼt say much, just looking at the scenario play out.

ʼPerhaps, they tried to act as the orioles, waiting for the mantises to hunt me, the cicada?ʼ

The level of cultivation didnʼt matter as he imagined that there were always bastards who ambushed to plunder the efforts of others. This time, there were three of them waiting to enter the scene when they gained sight of an opportunity, whether it be saving a damsel in distress or taking advantage of her.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim sneered with utter coldness but didnʼt say anything to their disappearing silhouettes. Instead, he marked all of their faces and names in his heart, willing to kill them all in the future when he had enough strength just because they targeted his Tirea.

No matter what reason they had, they shouldʼve taken it with him before this wedding day. Appearing today to disturb the marriage proceedings became the worst mistake they ever made in their life!

”Waah~ They actually all left...”

In the Grand Wedding Hall, Mo Mingzhi expressed her disbelief as she placed her hands on her bosoms. She couldnʼt believe the number of powerhouses that appeared here. Even if she tried to feign calmness, it was of no use.

Their undulations left her feeling overwhelmed, giving her a feeling as though she was out of breath.

In truth, it couldnʼt be helped. Her cultivation was just too low.

But a person reached out his hand and rustled her silky black hair, making her blink before she was able to calm down, her heart returning to beating normally.

ʼWolfe Reaver from the Emperor Sword Sect, Aleron Lucci, Coyne Angrad, and Learet Darell. Lastly, Gold Brickman. Heh, no wonder he uses a title like Fierce Swordsmith Master. I would be embarrassed with a brick in my name too.ʼ

Davisʼs eyes had flashed red before all those wedding crashers left. He smiled, knowing that they would all be more or less dead in the near future before he turned his head and looked at the sweet Mingzhi.

”Donʼt you want to become powerful like them?”

Mo Mingzhiʼs eyes lit up like a light in a dark cavern, glowing with curiosity. However, pursing her luscious lips, she shook her head.

”I want to become as powerful as you.”

Davis blinked before he shrugged.

”Good luck then...”

Hearing his sarcastic tone, Mo Mingzhi giggled at him.

”I know I wonʼt become as powerful as you, but with you as my goal, I will exceed all others.”

”Oh...?”

They didnʼt think this way, finding her both amusing and interesting.

”Well, youʼre already quite behind us, meaning you have to put in double the effort.”

Natalya smiled at her, appearing to be provocative.

”I wonʼt let you down, second sister.”

Mo Mingzhi pumped her fists, her expression looking adorable as she made the others giggle.

Davis couldnʼt help but stare at her.

”You say second sister, but can you really accept them as your sisters?”

Mo Mingzhiʼs expression froze.

Her smile then faded, replaced with solemness.

”I wonʼt lie. At first, it took me a lot to overcome my monogamous mindset. Then-”

”Huh?” Davis became confused, ”You already overcame it?”

”Uh, yeah~ What do you think I was doing when I was thinking about you all day long? I knew that if I ever managed to make you love me, I must share you with Evelynn as I donʼt want to be a villainess. Then, you went ahead and gathered your harem like picking some pets while I was waiting for you to come back home.”

Mo Mingzhi swung her hand, pointing at Natalya, Fiora, Sophie, and Niera with a mocking expression.

The four of them blinked while Davis felt a bit embarrassed as she pointed it out, but he kept a straight face.

”I do-”

”Mingzhi...”

Evelynn abruptly spoke as she cut off Davis, causing everyoneʼs attention to turn towards her as they found that her voice was cold.

”If you donʼt like what Davis is doing, youʼre free to leave. No one is forcing you.”

”Ah~” Mo Mingzhi shook her hands as she felt that Evelynn misunderstood her intent, ”I didnʼt mean it that way. I was just teasing him...”

”You can get to make fun of him after you become his. Until then, you should watch your words because, while I donʼt know about the others, I will take offense in his stead.”

Mo Mingzhi blinked, not sure of what to say.

”Mingzhi, you went overboard right now as you insulted him, us, and even yourself since youʼre willing to become a part of his harem...”

Natalya sighed, not able to cover for her this time.

Fiora, Sophie, and Niera didnʼt offer their opinion, but Fiora did feel Mo Mingzhi was right as she herself had a sharp tongue and would agree with her. However, she also agreed with big sister Evelynnʼs words as Mo Mingzhi couldnʼt be uttering words like these as she had yet to become a part of them.

It was disrespectful to them.

”Iʼm sorry... I wonʼt do it again...”

Mo Mingzhi spoke as she lowered her head, berating herself inwardly as tears welled up in her eyes. Her glib-tongue that made others laugh all this time unexpectedly caught her in a swamp that she would find it difficult to escape from, and just when her love was so near, within hands reach, she felt herself being dragged deep into the mud.

She didnʼt like this feeling.

This wasnʼt what she was here for.

”...!?”

Abruptly, she was pulled into a hug from the side. She blinked, thinking it was Natalya, but it turned out to be Davis, to her shock!

Natalya had given way to Davis to hug Mingzhi. He placed her head on his c.h.e.s.t as he c.a.r.e.s.sed her silky black hair.

”Hck~”

A muffled squeak echoed as Mo Mingzhi couldnʼt hold back her tears and cried. She tried to suppress it, but her trembling left everyone aware that she truly felt bad for making a careless statement.

Davisʼs expression was gentle.

”Everyone, Mingzhiʼs environment was different where polygamy was vilified for a particular time. I understand that you all care for me but donʼt blame her. She really didnʼt mean any insult and was just playing around like a kid.”

Evelynn rolled her eyes. Does he think she didnʼt know that?

It was just, she found it difficult to endure to see someone not a part of them insulting him in the name of teasing. Mo Mingzhi wasnʼt even his woman, so how could she dare to badmouth him in front of them?

She found it extremely offensive and would have slapped her if it wasnʼt the Mo Mingzhi whom Davis already told to wait.

Would Davis leave a man who badmouthed her alive without a deep apology?

Nevertheless, Evelynn, Natalya, Fiora, Sophie, and Niera all smiled at each other as they saw Mo Mingzhi tightly holding Davis while she cried. With this, they might finally get together instead of mopping the floor.

Davis noticed their expressions and became astonished.

Could it be that Evelynnʼs admonishment at Mo Mingzhi was intentional? For him?

”Dummy, youʼre so soft towards her, not even minding the insults. Just make her yours already...”

Evelynnʼs melodious voice resounded in his mind, causing his heart to tremble.

Thatʼs right.

Evelynn herself rarely responded to insults, but as his first wife, she had the responsibility to look at his other women so that they donʼt overstep their bounds, which was exactly what she did just now, taking it upon herself to be the one who makes the tough calls in spite of the aggression or hateful looks she may possibly receive from them.

From the start to this moment, no matter what she did, she always had him in her mind foremost, making him deeply moved, as always.

Nevertheless, with the permission of his first wife, Davis felt more emboldened.

He slightly separated Mo Mingzhi from him, causing her to feel that was the end of it.

Perhaps, it would take a long while before she could make the others accept her. After all, she accepted what she did was a mistake. Davis may have been fine with her insults as they both always insulted each other, but how could his women be fine with it?

She knew she had overstepped her bounds carelessly.

However, she felt a finger touch her chin, lifting up her face. What she saw was his face, inching closer and closer before she felt another hand grab her soft waist.

*Badump!~*

Her heart skipped a beat.

”...!?”

Before she could even make sense of it, her lips were sealed by his, making her eyes go wide in shock. Instantly, that succulent feeling of the long-awaited kiss she imagined washed over her body as if she was being filled, making her shiver ever so lightly under his embrace.

”Ah~”

Fiora made a wind barrier as she raised her arms, subjecting them to privacy as she blocked the view of others. She looked around, noticing that her barrier attracted only a few while most others were still watching above the dome if anything would happen.

At this moment, Ancestor Dian Alstreim finally received multiple reports from some scouts and confirmed that all twelve of them left the Territory. Only then did he completely relax before he turned to look at Ancestor Tirea Snow.

”Those shameless fellows all left...”

”Iʼm sorry.” Ancestor Tirea Snow pursed her lips, ”Itʼs all my fault...”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldnʼt help but smile.

”Silly, as a heavenly swan, itʼs common that you attract so many toads. Itʼs up to the biggest, baddest, and smartest toad to chase them all away.”

Ancestor Tirea Snow couldnʼt help but smile sweetly at his words but too bad it was hidden under her veil.

”I feel bad to disturb, but...”

Mival Silverwind suddenly arrived beside Ancestor Dian Alstreim before he shrugged.

”This was what Iʼm paid for? I feel like I didnʼt do anything...”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim laughed.

”Haha, the mere presence of you two and your lightning attribute was enough to intimidate half of them. Nonetheless, we did not hire you to protect me but protect the Alstreim Family. Difficult times are surely ahead, and I will unmistakably need your help then...”

”Sure!”

Mival Silverwind nodded as his eyes appeared excited.

He couldnʼt actually believe that he was part of a group that made twelve powerhouses scram in defeat!
