Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1568 - I Want Him

The Poison Lord’s expression trembled, his purple hair flowing in the wind as he turned to look at the purple-robed youth.

"Is that him?"​​

"Yes~"

The Poison Mistress appeared shy as she brought her palms to her cheeks, acting like a shy lady, "He completely withstood my poison. I want him~"

She pointed at him, acting spoiled as she grabbed the Poison Lord’s arm.

On the other hand, the Poison Lord’s expression changed when he heard that, his eyes widening in shock as he turned to look at the Poison Mistress.

"Truly!?"

The Poison Mistress nodded her head, her cheeks seem to have gone crimson in love, but the other eighteen powerhouses all felt their scalps turn numb as their bodies began to tremble.

Was the Poison Mistress courting death to be professing her emotional affair to her man!?

However...

Davis’s eyes flashed red when the Poison Lord arrived. Some saw his eyes changing colors but merely mistook it for him using an eye technique to view the Poison Lord’s strength. At the same time, it attracted the Poison Lord’s attention to him, but the Poison Lord didn’t seem to mind being probed but instead concentrated on the Poison Mistress for the time being.

’Hysteria Tempest and Huse Tempest...’

Davis became confused by the Poison Mistress’s and Poison Lord’s names.

They had the same family name and similar purple hair, although purple hair wasn’t uncommon amidst people who learn Poison Laws. Nevertheless, did that make them blood-related or adopted?

’Father and daughter?’

Davis mused as he saw the close relationship they possessed, but Poison Mistress claimed that she was still chaste. If they were not father and daughter, then what kind of connection did they share?

With Poison Lord’s womanizing reputation, would he even leave female disciples if he had any?

Hence, he could only think that they were father and daughter.

Still, it didn’t matter to him.

"You came, bastard. Get ready to die..."

Davis coldly laughed at the Poison Lord, causing the latter to blink.

"Mhm? I don’t seem to recall having offended you before, have I?"

"Maybe you should ask the dead Devil Bane and the enslaved yet crippled Blood Thorn why they targeted one of my wives."

"Ah, so it was you who killed Devil Bane."

The Poison Lord’s expression became sharp. Many people went stiff from feeling the intensity in his eyes, but his expression turned into one of a smile.

"Although Devil Bane was my loyal servant, it seemed that he truly did offend you while trying to find some women for me. Sigh, if that’s the case, I can only forgive you. After all, my daughter seems to favor you."

People instantly widened their eyes in shock and disgust.

"What!? She’s your daughter!?"

The expressions of the Dragon Families fell.

How was a Mistress supposed to be his daughter? Then, didn’t that mean...

"Look who’s asking?" The Poison Lord couldn’t help but laugh, "You people marry your brothers and sisters, but you find fault with a similar father and daughter relationship? Ahaha. Who’s to say that you people haven’t crossed that thin line yet?"

While the expressions of the Dragon Families became hideous, the Poison Lord shook his head as he reached out his hand and c.a.r.e.s.sed the Poison Mistress’s head, "If only that were the case with Hysteria and me. She’s truly the daughter I adore, but due to her peculiarity, even I would court death if I laid my hands on her. Nevertheless, I didn’t declare her to be my mistress. Some people started saying that she was my mistress, but she went along with it, using my influence to strike fear into the hearts of many when she was young. It seemed fun for her, so I could only play along as well..."

Everyone became flabbergasted, especially the powerhouses of the Poison Lord Villa.

The Poison Lord had many wives, concubines, and even maids who were willing to be his women over the slightest chance they could obtain, so how could they tell which ones were his women or daughter without him specifying to them? They only knew not to touch a single one of them unless they wanted to court death.

The Poison Lord seemingly approved everyone’s reaction as though he expected for this day to arrive. He raised his hand, panning his gaze as he pointed towards Davis.

"Now that my daughter has finally favored a man and that man even seems to be exceptional, I’m finally willing to give her away. Ah, what a pity. This father is sad today..."

Davis snorted.

"Heh, the only thing you’re giving away today is your life, Huse."

"You know my name?" The Poison Lord seemed astonished, "How marvelous. Very few know my name, and as far as I can tell, they’re all more or less dead. Did you tell him, Hysteria?

The Poison Mistress blinked before she shook her head.

"No..."

It caused the brows of the Poison Lord to widen more as he returned his gaze to Davis.

"I’m intrigued and becoming more impressed by the second. Hysteria, I like his guts to go against me. He’ll be a perfect husband for you."

"See? Hehe~" The Poison Mistress looked as if she knew it all, "But father, he has offended the Zlatan Family by killing their Grand Elder."

"Woah, how courageous!"

The Poison Lord looked at Davis with a languid smile on his face.

"What do you say, young man? If you’re willing to marry my daughter, I’m willing to let bygones be bygones and protect you from any power that may be after you."

He reached out his hand, offering shelter while the Poison Mistress appeared excited, looking at him with puppy eyes.

Davis couldn’t help but chuckle. He could see that the Poison Lord didn’t regard his threat as even a threat. It seemed that he didn’t place High-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses in his eyes, making Davis believe that his true prowess might be at Peak-Level Law Rune Stage.

This wasn’t truly a surprise.

Otherwise, would the righteous sects leave him alone?

"Davis, I absolutely won’t accept her."

Suddenly, Isabella’s solemn voice echoed in his soul sea. He didn’t turn to look at her but replied with a soul transmission.

"I know, and I will have you know I won’t be accepting her either. Who knows how many innocents she killed just to practice her Poison Laws...? Besides, no matter how beautiful she may be, she is still ugly in my eyes with the way she behaves."

Isabella’s lips curved in content, appearing to be satisfied with his answer.

She believed she absolutely couldn’t get along with this Poison Mistress and felt like she could also speak for her sisters below as she saw their anger when she tried to seduce their husband.

Fortunately, it didn’t look like Davis fell for her vile charms.

The Poison Mistress was no beautiful than her, but with her charm arts, Isabella was aware she posed an enormous threat to the hearts of men, capable of bewitching any man more than she could with any man with her natural charm.

Whenever the Poison Mistress used her Charm Laws, Isabella was aware that she was not a match for her in terms of attracting men, but she had no need to be attracting men when she already had a man. She wasn’t the least bit bothered about in that matter, but if Davis fell for the Poison Mistress, she would be more than pissed off.

She felt like she would be enraged but it seems like it wasn’t the case with Davis as he somehow was able to ignore her charm.

Davis looked at the Hysteria Tempest and saw her puppy eyes demanding that he take her father’s hand and marry her. She appeared extremely attractive, and he admitted that her beauty attracted him even without her having to use charm arts like at the moment.

However, he understood that her puppy face was nothing more than a facade. If he so much as even accepted her, he instinctively knew that she would bring ruin to his life and his women, far more than what he felt against Mo Mingzhi back before he accepted her.

Nevertheless, the foremost reason that Davis never considered the Poison Mistress as a romantic target in his eyes was that he didn’t want to sadden Evelynn. If at all they came to accept the Poison Mistress despite all her shortcomings, he couldn’t bear to see Evelynn depressed.

Right now, Evelynn was becoming proud of her poison. From disgust and aversion to becoming proud of her Poison Laws. He didn’t want to take that pride away from her by bringing the gifted Poison Mistress into the harem, as Evelynn would end up comparing herself even if it wasn’t her intent.

He didn’t want Evelynn to stop feeling special.

"I told you." Davis seemed to have made his decision, "The only thing you’re receiving today is death, Huse."

The Poison Mistress’s expression fell as if she didn’t expect to be truly rejected at this moment on top of all odds stacked in her favor.

"I see." On the other hand, the Poison Lord possessed a mocking expression on his face.

"Either you accept my daughter or die today. I wonder if you can escape from me when the Dragon Families hunts you from the other side? Nevertheless, I’m willing to give you one last chance. However, since you defied me once, you should be willing to pay the price. Your wife, whom Devil Bane tried to give me accidentally. You’re going to present her to me as a sign of apology and allegiance."

"True, I can’t have him disrespect you, father." The Poison Mistress nodded.

*Bzzz!~*

"You’re truly an evil bitch!~"

Isabella’s voice echoed with fury as she waved her hand, a sword appearing in her hand as her martial energy undulated, beginning to suppress everyone in the region!

The Poison Lord’s eyes widened in shock.

Not only the Poison Lord and his powerhouses, but also the eyes of the Dragon Families, the two Honorable Elders, and the Ancestors shot wide open in disbelief.

This... this prowess... why was it at the Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage!?
