Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1650 - Innocent?



One day, Davis gathered them all while Mo Mingzhi was the last to arrive on that day as she wholeheartedly concentrated on cultivation, perhaps feeling the pressure as she had the lowest cultivation. When she appeared, she looked a bit bashful in front of everyone as she couldn't help herself from embracing and trying to kiss him, not knowing that it was his soul body, in the end being embarrassed about it when she came to know.

"What did you gather us for, Davis?"

Isabella expectantly looked at Davis with a smile on her face as she also gazed at the gallery. She felt joyful that they could gather like this and hoped one day that he would be here with his main body along with Evelynn.

That would make up for a perfect scenery in her eyes. After all, she felt that she worked so hard to keep them all together, even in that hopeless situation. The support she gave them. The support they gave her. She swore to not forget any of them, especially to Natalya and Fiora, who made sure that she smiled even in her low point.

Davis looked at her with a smile before he panned his gaze one last time and spoke.

"Everyone, I know I'm disturbing you all after I presented resources to you all to grow and told you to cultivate. Nonetheless, I thought you might want to see your talents as that would help you calculate your future path and the number of resources you may require to increase your cultivation."

"Furthermore, I know that some of you may have less talent, but here it doesn't matter. In our family, the one thing that truly matters is that whether you are loyal to me or not. My love for my beauties would never fade away for a measly thing such as low talent, so none of you would have to worry about this fool giving up on anyone one of you."

"Tch," Mo Mingzhi suddenly clicked her tongue, "Don't you feel ashamed to be declaring your love to too many women at the same time? Pervert."

"Don't you feel ashamed to be with that pervert?"

Davis kept raising his brow as he provoked, causing Mo Mingzhi to smirk with a flirtatious attitude as she bit her lips. The others were a bit flabbergasted as they saw them insult each other yet remain full of affection as it was apparent in their eyes.

"Davis, we already know that you're a gentle and kind person, but you're also a bit extreme, although I personally like it." Isabella spoke as she gestured, "You have this balance that we are deeply attracted to and are clear about what you want to do. Therefore, it is our responsibility to support you in your endeavor. I can't speak for everyone else, but I think we can all agree that you won't forget us as you're a huge dumbo as the big sister says~ Hehe~"

"Ahahahaha!~"

Isabella giggled, causing all the girls to join her in a fit of laughter, while Davis also couldn't help but smile like a fool. His women were ganging up on him, and Mo Mingzhi was particularly loud as she pointed and laughed at him as though she was a cartoon character, but looking at them have a bond like this, it was more than enough for him to not tease them back.

"Well then, let's get started."

Davis brought out a spherical-shaped stone the size of a head.

After some time, in a certain well-decorated room, there was a crimson-robed woman present.

She was simply lying on a couch while dangling her leg when a door opened, and another black-haired woman walked in. She had a sharp and bold countenance, similar to the woman lying on the couch.

"Schleya, you should've said that Davis came back. Because of you, I embarrassed myself, acting all shy in front of him. What a loss of face..."

Mo Mingzhi's melodious voice echoed out while she kept her hand on her forehead.

Schleya had a half-eaten crimson fruit in her hand. She simply lifted up her hand and took a bite as if she was eating popcorn.

"None of my concern..."

"Don't act so indifferent." Mo Mingzhi smirked, "I know that you talked with him and got some answers from him. Were you satisfied?"

Schleya turned to look at Mo Mingzhi, her crimson eyes shining with a blood-red glint.

"First, remove the seal placed on my cultivation."

"Uhmm... no." Mo Mingzhi smilingly shrugged, "Tell me you're abandoning the wicked path first, and I'll ask Davis to remove the seal on your cultivation."

Schleya couldn't help but sigh, "Why are you both asking me to abandon the wicked path? It's ridiculous. I won't adopt the righteous path as my way of living."

"Oh yeah? Even after I let you see what a righteous path city is like?"

"Yes, it's hypocritical."

Mo Mingzhi's lips twitched as she heard Schleya's instantaneous answer before the latter continued.

"All people are hypocritical, including the wicked path people and me. However, the righteous path people, they're special hypocrites where they act one way in public and another way inside their home."

Mo Mingzhi shook her head.

"I don't deny that, but at the very least, you had safety as no one attacked you, right?"

"Safety?" Schleya scoffed as she shook her head.

"It is meaningless and solid if it isn't obtained with one's own strength."

"When I walked outside, the men drooled at me, clearly wanting to make me their woman, but they didn't dare to touch me, not because of my cultivation since it's sealed, making me an easy target but because of some fake laws of the land governing their lives. On the other hand, if I were to walk out like this in the wicked path, the men would surely hunt and conquer me, as it should be with the law of the survival of the fittest. They don't hide their true intentions at all like the people down here. This is where we, the wicked path people differ. We maintain a clear image of what we are and don't change that to adopt-."

"That's your ideals and doesn't suit the wicked path you're talking about."

Mo Mingzhi interrupted with a frigid expression.

"I've been there with you, and all there were was killing, ravaging, and plundering. You call that a clear image? Don't you mean that their integrity as an evil character is verified instead?"

Schleya's brows twitched while Mo Mingzhi continued.

"In the righteous path, many are conniving, greedy, opportunistic bastards and bitches but guess what; there are also a few people in the righteous path who maintains their integrity as an upright character. I don't know if my Davis is such a character, but I sure see him as one as he says what he does."

Mo Mingzhi trembled as she pointed at Schleya, looking heated up.

"On the other hand, you, a woman who hadn't killed a single innocent in the wicked path, is clearly brainwashed with ideas that don't suit your kind heart."

"Hehehehe!~"

Schleya abruptly began to laugh, causing Mo Mingzhi to freeze and retrospect herself to see if she had said something wrong when Schleya stopped her laughter and spoke with a sharp gaze.

"Innocents? I've killed one and will never be able to forgive myself for that..."

Mo Mingzhi became stunned. It was different than what the All-Seeing Towers provided her with. Nevertheless, still believing that she couldn't be wrong as she was personally with Schleya and witnessed the actions that saved other people, including her. She couldn't help but feel that there must be some reason.

"Why?"

Hearing Mo Mingzhi's complex tone, Schleya couldn't help but scoff.

"Don't you know that children in the wicked path powers would have to go through a rite of passage to mold themselves to the wicked path? I was exempt from that as my father and mother possessed status in the Blood Pledge Villa, but when they died, I was forced to undergo the rite of passage at the age of five because of the Villa Master's command. I'll never forgive him, awaiting the day I will behead his head, and he knows that too, awaiting the day I will fall onto his lap in defeat. See, our intentions are rather clear, aren't they? And despite that, the elders won't try to nip the bud while it's growing but challenge it, as it should be in a world of the survival of the fittest."

Mo Mingzhi's expression twisted. She wanted to interject on so many points, but she couldn't help but ask the most important thing, "Who did you kill in your rite of passage?"

"..."

Schleya's sharp gaze faded, her complacent expression stirring into one of grief, sorrow, and regret as she lowered her head.

"My twin sister..."

"....!?"
