Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1339 Top Disciple Battles



A day passed while Davis remained in the hall, protecting Shirley while chatting with Freya. He waited for that Grand Elder that Sect Master Lea Weiss talked about, but no one came, leading to his confusion before realizing that perhaps it might be after the competition.

Esvele did not show up ever since she left while he mused that she was also cultivating.

Was she that scared of him? Or did she not want to have Shirley think that something might happen if she stayed with him?

Nevertheless, he wasn't bothered about it while Freya was talkative and adorable, making him feel entertained as he heard about Shirley's adventures. At the same time, he almost did not realize the passage of time until he saw that it was dawn again.

At this moment, when the sun rose outside, there was a low hum that came from Shirley's room while the undulations released were suppressed within the crimson palace.

'That was rather fast...'

Davis was quite impressed with her ability to quickly perform a breakthrough in the Law Dominion Stage when he mused that it would at least take a few months on average as she had just probably recently broke through, but it also said to him that the gains she had in the mini-realm in this sect were also tremendously fruitful for her cultivation to be moving past levels as if she were breezing through it.

No wonder she wanted to stay here despite all the odds she faced.

With the Sect Master looking like she wanted to protect Shirley even from him, Elder Chu Feng, he can undoubtedly see Shirley making use of that advantage given to her.

However, Davis also knew that she faced little to no bottlenecks because of her Fire Phoenix Blood and Burning Phoenix Blood. It was the same for him, Evelynn, Isabella, and even Natalya, who had the Earth Dragon Immortal's blood in their veins, except it vastly caused them to have little to no bottlenecks in Body Tempering Cultivation.

Of course, it was only till a certain level till the essence of the blood runs out or completely assimilates with no advantages to give any more in terms of bottlenecks.

Abruptly, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Davis realized that Shirley was not flying but creating suspense as she walked with loud steps. He couldn't help shake his head ruefully at her childishness, but he could understand her enthusiasm.

Freya, who slept peacefully on his lap on the sofa at some time of them chatting, pricked up her ears and woke up, looking towards the pathway to Shirley's room as her crimson eyes widened in excitement.

Soon, a figure clad in crimson top disciple robes appeared.

The side of the crimson robes and the back was imprinted with the Burning Phoenix's wings while the body was fully yet tightly wrapped a bit, enhancing her curves.

Shirley walked with an expectant and shy smile on her pale white face, her cheeks covered with a bit of healthy blush. Her whole figure caused Davis to gulp his non-existent saliva, even when he knew that he saw the exact figure and dress yesterday. However, she had a bit of makeup on, making him notice the faint and dreamy features that made her look even more entrancing and special.

Davis stood up as he wildly stared at Shirley while she walked all the way and matched gaze with him before she could no longer take his fiery gaze and lowered her head.

"I really regret not coming here with my main body..." Davis uttered.

Shirley couldn't help smile deeply, satisfied by his answer as she raised her head, "That would become a bit... problematic..."

Her cheeks blushed even more as she uttered in an ambiguous tone.

"Oh... How problematic would it become?"

Davis raised his brows in a teasing manner.

'Enough to make me forget what is left and right...'

Shirley thought, but she grinned and shook her head, "I don't know... You tell me..."

Davis cracked a smile when his expression suddenly faded as he sensed her energy leaking out from her pores.

"Congratulations on breaking through, but are you okay? Your Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage cultivation is a bit unstable..." He frowned a bit in worry.

"Unstable as it may, I'm still stronger than my previous self." Shirley unhurriedly spoke, "My Essence Gathering Cultivation is a bit unstable despite me solidifying it with resources because I'm making rapid progress for my young age. It should take a day or two for my cultivation to reach stabilization before I begin solidifying it, but it should have the same effect if I battled today."

"Sorry, I messed up your plans..." Davis's shoulders drooped.

He thought that if it weren't for him, she would've already solidified her cultivation.

"Wha-? No, don't be..." Shirley's expression became angrier by the second, "If you're like this, I won't go participate in the competition. Screw that. I'll spend more time with you!"

Davis appeared flabbergasted at her outburst that he blinked, "Okay, I take it back."

Shirley's angry expression changed into a satisfied smile, "That's more like it."

She pursed her lips, looking at him with obsessed eyes.

"Davis, we'll leave if you want me to leave. I won't say no to it."

Davis couldn't help but chuckle, "I know, but this place is the best for you despite its dangers. I'll get rid of anyone who targets you, so you freely rule over this place like you did back in the Ashton Empire, my princess."

Shirley blinked before she smiled, "I almost forgot that I was a princess. Roaming around the world with Ellia and meeting all kinds of people sure did make my mouth crass while I also lost my bearings, but I like this more where I could freely talk."

"You didn't seem like you were holding back your tongue when you were a princess either..." Davis interjected.

"How rude...!"

Shirley bit her lip before she shook her head and smiled, reaching out her hands to hold Davis's.

"Come, the Grand Burning Phoenix Ridge's Top Disciple Battles is going to begin in an hour, or so I think. We wouldn't want to be late, or those Grand Elders who oppose me are going to needlessly find fault with me. I don't want to hear their lame excuses in trying to humiliate me..."

"Alright, lead the way..." Davis nodded his head.

Shirley returned the nod while Esvele appeared.

All of them then left the crimson palace and headed to a place while there seemed to be a whole congregation of disciples heading towards the same destination. The moment they spotted the utterly lovely-looking Shirley, who made her look herself even more beautiful for Davis, caused the whole crowd to fall into a stupor.

The female disciples fell into a trance while the male disciples silently turned away and began discussing amongst themselves.

Shirley, who noticed that they were rather behaving exaggeratedly, couldn't help but quickly wear a crimson veil that hid her face as she could not hide her embarrassment. Narrowing her eyes a bit, she glanced back at Davis and saw that he kept looking at her with a smile.

"You're definitely going to bring trouble..."

A soul transmission fell on her mind, causing her to feel bad, but the next soul transmission caused her to face to lit up.

"However, make much trouble as you can so that I can know who are all against you. Only death awaits them the moment they make a move against you, I assure you that..."

Shirley patted Freya as she rubbed on Freya's feathers in happiness that her man allowed her free reign.

Meanwhile, the teenage girl who flew in the skies had already turned into a Burning Phoenix with a mighty King Beast Stage aura that caused her to have her own followers. Freya was carrying the three of them on top of her back as she breezed through the skies, rushing past many disciples and even a few other Burning Phoenixes that looked at her in awe and envy.

Soon, Davis and the others arrived on a particular mountain as the fiery road along led to it while the disciples gathered. It possessed a flattened surface but on top of it was a sizeable colosseum-like structure. However, it was not crimson as one would expect but screamed pure white! The walls, surface, seating, and even the battle stage's surface were coated in pure white, causing him to rather narrow his eyes from the overwhelming luster.

It radiated a pristine glow under the sun's reflection, making him think that it was beautiful as the moon, while dusky orange skies added an otherworldly look to it. This kind of atmosphere made him draw a deep breath in admiration even though he was a soul body.

The number of people occupying this battle arena was many, while more were still on their way. It seemed that they were early, but the atmosphere remained boisterous with Burning Phoenixes flying around the battle arena, screeching in their bird language as if singing while a few other disciples displayed fireworks with their brilliant fiery flames adorning the skies.

Davis saw the fanfare, but his admiration was pulled back by the number of toads gawking at his swan meat. Even though he felt a bit irked, he didn't go and beat them up as it was rather unreasonable unless they stared at her with wretched intentions or made some unseemly comments, but he couldn't pick up any ill-intent with his soul sense as it was just full of admiration and envy.

However, he followed their gaze and saw that little or even half of them were gathered on Esvele's big bosoms, making him chuckle a bit. He couldn't help but think she and Evelynn had it truly hard.

*Whoosh!~*

Just when they were about to enter the high-walled battle arena in one of the entrances designated for entry, a Burning Phoenix that was a bit bigger suddenly descended in front of them and screeched at Freya while a man was sitting above it, looking at them with a gentle smile on his face.

He wore a similar robe as Shirley, except it was made for men as the one wearing it undoubtedly was a man.

That gentle smile he wore on his handsome face quickly turned a bit odd as his lips moved.

"Fellow disciple Shirley, you look otherworldly today, but when are you going to marry me and perhaps, warm my bed?"

"...!"

Shirley's smiling expression froze.

Not because she saw the handsome red-haired man, but there was a burst of ominous intent from the back!

*Boom!~*

An explosion resounded while both the Burning Phoenix and the handsome red-haired man were sent flying as they spat blood from their mouths!

Everyone's pupils dilated as they saw the rumored Protector of top disciple Shirley attack another top disciple!
