Divine Emperor of Death

"Alright, we’ll discuss this some other time since we’re not getting anywhere." Davis spoke and continued after a short pause, "I don’t know if your words are true and sincere but I’ll buy it for now. It’s your turn now..."

Drake nodded his head in response.

They both understood that they were nowhere near the level of companions, and can’t trust each other easily.

In fact, they both only took each other’s information at face value and didn’t really believe in it completely other than pondering in it for a short time.

"It’s fine, I’ll use my turn later since it’s hard to trust when we just met..." Drake smiled, "So why don’t you stay with us and hunt together? I want to befriend you sincerely as well. After all, you’re the only person I know who is from Planet Earth..."

Davis’s face scrunched up in hesitation. He had already decided to hunt down magical beasts and absorb as many souls as possible in order to return to the Second Layer in a year, but now, a completely unexpected situation emerged in front of him.

He would be lying if he said that he didn’t want to make friends with Drake since he is a person from Planet Earth and to add on top of that, a fellow anime lover just like him.

However, if he joined with this group of two, he felt that his efficiency in hunting down beasts would really drop.

In any case, he gave himself a year to return, and a year was a long time if he used it efficiently.

Davis finally made up his mind after considering for some time, "How about this, I’ll join you now but hunt alone from time to time and return to you guys after a short period of time..."

"Alright, keep your secrets..." Drake chuckled slightly.

Davis awkwardly gave out a dry laugh as he visualized another meme in his head.

"By the way..." Drake suddenly stated, "A Sixth Stage Magical Beast is moving about in this region, so be careful..."

"Was it that centipede?" Davis narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, how did you know?" Drake’s eyes went wide, "Did you see it?"

Davis solemnly nodded.

"How are you still alive!???" Drake shouted in astonishment and blinked as he realized something.

"It didn’t find you?" He hesitantly asked.

Davis shook his head.

"It didn’t see you? Didn’t you look at its eyes?"

Davis shook his head again.

"No wonder..." Drake muttered under his breath, "Or else, you would have died without even knowing how you died..."

"Was it really that dangerous?" Davis asked doubtfully but he then remembered the ominous feeling of suppression it projected.

"Dangerous? It’s actually one of the worst types of magical beasts you could encounter! Not only can it affect the senses of its prey, it can even amplify its magical beast aura a thousand times till a certain range which renders you incapable of fighting with your full strength!" Drake replied in a serious tone.

’So that’s why I felt so minuscule in front of its presence...’ Davis understood.

"That is one unique magical beast I never wanna mess with unless I had the strength to... because that power of it can only affect creatures which are at a lower stage than it..." Drake spoke again while looking at Davis.

He felt that this fellow was really lucky but on second thought, he realized that he wasn’t able to pinpoint this fellow’s location when they first met.

Thinking about how Davis managed eluded his senses, a faint sense of cautiousness crept in his heart.

The tent that housed three people suddenly descended into silence.

The three looked at each other, yet none spoke which only led to an awkward silence remaining in the tiny atmosphere.

*Cough~*

Drake coughed at this moment, "We have never formally introduced ourselves, haven’t we?"

"My name is Drake Blackburn, and I belong to the Blackburn Family. I can be considered a young master from that family, but things aren’t that simple, so I just moved out with my parents and settled in a mansion I bought with the literature I sold."

"You forgot your women...." Kara reminded, though her tone was filled with sarcasm, even with a little bit of jealousy.

Drake’s face froze before he smiled peacefully, "Yes, I brought them with me..."

Kara felt somewhat sour in her heart while Davis nodded and then asked, "What about your cultivation?"

"My cultivation huh... Well, I guess revealing won’t change anything. I’ve reached Low-Level Law Seed Stage, Mid-Level Silver Stage, and High-Level Young Soul Stage..." Drake replied in a confident tone.

"Also, I’m a possessor of the Exquisite Nine Yang Body which is at Peak-Level Earth Grade!"

When he said that, his face was filled with confidence and self-esteem. There was even a slight proud grin on his face.

’No wonder he tried to obtain Kara...’ Davis finally understood.

He was clear on what exactly would happen when a possessor of the Exquisite Nine Yang Body and the possessor of the Exquisite Nine Yin Body dual cultivated together.

He knew that their cultivation would improve leaps and bounds with almost no effort but he also knew that their increase in cultivation was undoubtedly limited by the grade of the physique they possess.

For example, if they both or only one of them possesses a Peak-Level Earth Grade Physique, then they would only be able to see an increase of cultivation till the Peak of the Fourth Stage.

After that, the efficiency in the increase of cultivation while dual cultivating will significantly drop unless one achieved a breakthrough with their physiques!

Davis then glanced at Kara, causing her to become startled.

Kara noticed his gaze and was suddenly distressed. She turned to glance at Drake, her eyes seeking help.

What was she supposed to say? That she was a princess of a fallen kingdom? A princess who was reduced to a slave and a plaything, only to be sold off in an underground auction?

Too shameful!!!

These were things she can’t talk about yet it was undoubtedly true. She wanted to bury her past but one’s past also made the person who they are now currently.

It can’t be just refuted and excluded with something simple as a sentence like ’past is past’.

Drake also was at a loss. To end the awkward atmosphere a few seconds ago, he proposed a topic, yet it had now backstabbed him.

He awkwardly laughed and said, "I’m sorry, it seems Kara wants to keep her background confidential..."

Davis blinked, considering whether to tell him or not.

He quickly made his decision since he wanted to befriend him, and by the looks of it, it seemed that the other party was sincere as well.

"In case you two don’t know, I was present at the underground auction, bidding for some items that caught my eye..."

*Boom!!~*
