Chapter 1882: Third Round

Everyone's attention was grabbed by one of the two arbitrators of the competition. However, Tina Roxley and Dalila Leehan still looked at Davis, their eyes gleaming with a needed glint.

Tina Roxley solemnly nodded while Dalila Leehan opened her mouth.

"I will do anything you ask of me, much less what I already have in mind."

"Excellent," Davis nodded as he panned his gaze at the both of them, "If this is the case, then I am going to count on you two to feed your sisters with cultivation pills."

Dalila Leehan's face became complex as she felt heavy to be handed over such a responsibility at the get-go, unlike Tina Roxley, who felt it was her duty as she had already begun learning a lot of alchemical knowledge and skills along with her Solitary Soul Avatar to prove herself useful.

Now that she had Dalila Leehan, who had more practical skills than her, she was assured that they could work this out.

Nevertheless, they nodded their heads again before Dalila Leehan turned to look towards the battle stage.

"Should I leave now?"

"Oh, right." Davis smiled as he saw that the other had already left, "Don't get yourself hurt but go and have fun."

"Mhm…" Dalila Leehan's gaze appeared complex, "But what should I do if I meet Sophie and Niera? I feel thankful to them but way more than that, since we are all part of… one family, I cannot-"

"You can. It's just a competition." Davis patted her shoulder, "It's fine as long as you don't injure them heavily, although I don't think you can get one over them unless you can ambush them."

"Right… my domain is not an offensive one..."

Dalila Leehan appeared embarrassed as she smiled but not hesitant to admit her shortcomings. However, being held by his warm grasp, her expression changed into one of reluctance.

"Can… can I sit this one out?"

Davis's brows raised.

"Why?"

"Because… I want to be with you..."

Tina Roxley couldn't help but silently giggle from the side. Dalila Leehan reminded her of herself when Davis took her in. She didn't dare to believe it initially and so would inevitably feel to stay close with him until she was fully convinced that she truly became a part of them.

"Fine by me."

Davis found Dalila Leehan's blossoming smile incredibly adorable now that he considered her one of his women. Her soft voice and hesitant demeanor towards him made him want to boost her confidence in the bed.

That was how alluring she was at the moment to him.

Dalila Leehan abruptly announced her retirement from the Seventh Stage Segment, causing people to be stupefied but understand. She had just gone through a tumultuous episode of being verbally bashed by her power and the Glorious Pill Palace but was suddenly courted by the Emperor of Death.

Any woman in her state would feel perplexed about the whole situation and would not be able to give it their all in the battle.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse asked one more time before Dalila Leehan heavily nodded and repeated the same thing, causing the former to nod.

Subsequently, Dalila Leehan's name appeared in the 18th rank of the Seventh Stage Segment Ranking Projection. The competitors below couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that one of them had already been eliminated, although voluntarily.

"Thank you~"

Dalila Leehan turned to look at Davis, biting her lips, wanting to say something when a voice suddenly echoed behind her.

"But always remember this..."

"…!?"

Evelynn suddenly appeared, causing Dalila Leehan to flinch as she turned to look back. The former's brows were narrowed, appearing to be solemn.

"Do whatever you want to do but don't misuse the privileges given to you. Otherwise, I'll poison you to death."

"Y-Yes…!" Dalila Leehan stood in attention.

As for the privilege Evelynn mentioned, she felt like she already had a huge taste of it. Her huge debt was canceled just like that, even though she still had the last bit of doubts over it. Nothing was free in this world. She had to painfully learn that lesson by almost giving herself up to a life that she didn't want but what if it was true?

If it wasn't a privilege from having Davis's favor, then what was it?

Evelynn saw that Dalila Leehan reacted with seriousness before she couldn't help but smile.

"I'm not kidding, but I won't go that far unless I absolutely have to."

"I completely understand."

Dalila Leehan's understanding caused Evelynn to smile in a heartened manner.

"Welcome to the harem of the Emperor of Death, Dalila. Come, instead of being with him, you must first learn a few things about his harem."

Evelynn took the initiative to grasp Dalila's hand and speak softly, causing Dalila Leehan to become stunned. The Hex Demoness she was scared of revealed a kind demeanor that she had no idea about, and that was starting to change her view about Evelynn, his first wife that she also wanted to see her true beauty behind the veil.

Dalila Leehan nodded, causing Evelynn to turn around.

"Evelynn, where's Mo Mingzhi and Fiora? Are they in one of the resting rooms?"

Evelynn was just about to take Dalila Leehan away when Davis asked.

Evelynn turned to look at him before her eyes narrowed, pointing towards the back.

"There…"

After uttering, she left with Dalila, and Tina Roxley also accompanied them, wanting to use this opportunity to learn more about the others as she felt that she had to come out of her shell already as she was put in the responsibility to take care of their cultivation needs while Davis turned to look at Fiora and Mo Mingzhi emerge from the inner layer of the New Era Battle Arena.

He saw those two hot beauties arrive before him before he smiled, "Where did you two go?"

"To the Dual Lotus Manor's seating area."

"Ah… I said that it is not appropriate, but Mingzhi took me..."

Mo Mingzhi answered, but then Fiora appeared anxious, causing the former to turn to look at her with her lips parted.

"Fiora, you are abandoning me?"

"Of course not." Fiora giggled as she patted Mo Mingzhi's shoulder, "I'll accept any punishments together, but I just wanted him to know that Mo Mingzhi was a bad girl."

"I told you." Mo Mingzhi rolled her eyes, "In this place, it's safe to go almost about anywhere."

"Not exactly, but yes. It's safer to roam around here, but the Dual Lotus Manor is different in you know what way. Fortunately, they didn't dare to look at us with a licentious gaze because they know that we're the Emperor of Death's women."

Fiora shook her head ruefully while Mo Mingzhi nodded, agreeing.

"Did you two go to meet Drake?"

Davis saw these two were getting along fine before he asked.

"Yeah." Mo Mingzhi deeply smiled, "I bought a bunch of resources from him that we wouldn't be able to easily obtain with a bit of premium like you had dealt before, and subsequently, you owe him like thirty Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Cores now."

Davis's brows widened. Looks like Drake Blackburn had a bountiful harvest from his power's mini-realm.

"No problem. Thank you for saving me time, Mingzhi."

"Hehe~ Glad to be of help."

Mo Mingzhi appeared happy to receive the unexpected praise before she mentioned, "Drake assured the quality of the resources and if it isn't what he says it is that you can have his head."

"I trust him." Davis nodded, but she continued.

"Also, he said that you've become more perverted than him with so many women than the last time he had seen you with, even daring to publicly NTR someone."

"Hahaha!" Davis couldn't help but laugh, "What did he say about it?"

Mo Mingzhi pursed her lips in suppressing her laughter.

"That he loved watching the show in this kind of scale..."

"Meaning…?"

"It seems that he had seen it plenty of times in the Dual Lotus Manor."

"Figures…" Davis nodded before Mo Mingzhi widened her eyes.

"Also, it seemed that he had done it two times."

Davis became flabbergasted.

"Woah, he took more women?"

"It seemed like it, perhaps three." Mo Mingzhi rested her chin on her palm as she folder her arm, "Other than Kara Moonridge, Swansea, Teriyela, Maina, Freya, Xanarea, and Jade Sua you told me about; I made acquaintances with Lora Ren, Elayne Bluestone, and Amber Will. These three people were Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Experts, powerful in their own right."

Davis was not surprised to see him have nine women. With Drake's dual cultivation pathway, perhaps, the number of women he might accept would only grow at a massive rate than him, although it seemed to be slow at this moment because of his lesser cultivation.

However, Drake managed to court four beauties who were powerful than himself, namely Jade Sua, Lora Ren, Elayne Bluestone, and Amber Will, and even two of them were probably snatched from someone else, perhaps after he came out of the mini-realm and became a top disciple whose status many female disciples would crave.

Davis didn't know the specifics but wished Drake luck all the same and waited for him to finish the Seventh Stage Segment to have a conversation with him.

'Well, if anything, he's going to absolutely lose to my little sister, though...'

Davis revealed a smug expression.

Even he didn't have the confidence to face Clara if he had the same cultivation and domain size as her ice element countered his fire element, and her commands could ultimately suppress him more. Only his lightning could change the course of the tide, but with Clara holding the advantage, his chances of winning were ultimately less.

Of course, Clara couldn't compare to him in terms of Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation if they fought at the same cultivation level. It was just her Transcendent Truth Eyes and Ice Phoenix Immortal Blood Essence that tended to over-invigorate her Essence Gathering Cultivation, making her plenty strong.

He turned to look at the final round that was about to start as Honorable Elder Julian Kruse activated a spatial formation again, the edges of the battle stage becoming covered in an indistinct veil that encased all the seventeen competitors.
