Chapter 1833: Understandable

Mo Mingzhi dropped her hand before she headed towards Drake Blackburn.

But outside, the Dual Lotus Manor’s people were stupefied as their pupils dilated on witnessing this scene. The top disciple of their power was acquainted with the Emperor of Death?

Wait, who was this Mo Mingzhi? They had not heard much about her before. Could it be possible that she was also Emperor of Death’s woman?

Such questions haunted their heads, leaving them clenching their teeth in the curious pain of wanting to find the truth.

“Where were you all this time? We were disheartened that you didn’t come to see a friend during a crisis.”

“What? No…” Drake Blackburn scratched his head, “How can I visit when I didn’t even know? I was stuck in the mini realm until it closed.”

“Well,” Mo Mingzhi teasingly smiled, “Davis would be more than happy to see you still be alive and not drop dead in that mini realm.”

“Haha. It’s surprising that he still has me in his mind after reaching such heights.”

“Why not?”

“Imagine becoming powerful after an expedition to a mini-realm but coming out only to know that your friend who once possessed equal strength as yourself ended up dead, but it then turned out to be a hoax, because the reality is now that he can move hegemons to accommodate his words as his cultivation has reached the top for this world?”

Drake Blackburn shook his head before he heaved a sigh while Mo Mingzhi couldn’t help but grin, feeling prideful.

In truth, Davis didn’t send any regards. It was Mo Mingzhi who knew about Drake as Davis had once talked to her about him on the topic of finding other earthlings.

“So… yeah. I walked out of the mini realm last month and ended up knowing about Davis’s matter. I heard that the competition was going to take place in a month, so I decided on seeing him in this event, but it looks like he’s not here.”

“He’s cultivating…”

“Damn, what a nerd…” Drake Blackburn looked as if he was going to cry, “He still wants to become stronger instead of flexing here? Maxing out all three cultivation systems would take an enormous amount of time and would go awry if he made a mistake. Tell him to chill, okay?”

“I will, but husband seems wary of the Calamity Light, so I’ll trust him on that.”

“Calamity Light, huh…” Drake Blackburn descended into contemplation before he narrowed his eyes at Mo Mingzhi, “Wait a minute. If you’re from Earth and still held on to your name, you’re probably Chinese like him. However, I don’t understand the mistress craze in China that I’m not sure about, but still, how can you take him as your husband? You’re not into polygamy, right?”

“I’m not, but I did as my situation with him is quite complicated.”

“How complicated?”

Mo Mingzhi narrowed her eyes in annoyance.

“What does it matter to you?

“Can’t have my friend stripped clean by a jade digger, right?” Drake Blackburn cast a scrutinizing look.

“Well,” Mo Mingzhi pursed her lips, “He killed my father when I was little, put me in an orphanage, and sponsored my life with the money he wealth from my father but without knowing that, I foolishly fell in love with him and wanted him that I spent the prime years of my life searching for him until he found me in a pitiful state and brought me here, having mercy on me like he once did. He gave me a choice, but my feelings for him didn’t change, and naturally, I accepted his way of living and planned to become his sixth wife.”

“…”

“Any questions?” Mo Mingzhi raised her brows.

“Okay…” Drake Blackburn’s lips slowly moved while his expression was wry, “I understood that it’s complicated.”

“That’s what I said.”

Mo Mingzhi rolled her eyes, to which Drake Blackburn raised his thumb finger.

“Understandable. Have a nice day.”

Mo Mingzhi giggled, looking amused.

Mo Mingzhi and Drake Blackburn gestured with their heads and hands. Their lips didn’t even move, causing half the population gathered here to almost have bloodshot eyes.

‘Bastards. Talk loudly!’

Seeing them exchange soul transmissions, their expressions twisted. The only thing they heard was an ‘Okay…’. However, the more secretive they behaved, the more they felt there was a certain kind of mystery to it.

“So I’m looking for my wife. Care to join?” Drake Blackburn raised his chin.

“Oh, if I remember correctly, her name was Kara Moonridge.”

“Precisely. She’s my queen…!”

“Alright, peasant king. Show me her image so that I can identify her in case we split up.”

“Uh…”

Drake Blackburn looked as though he received a piercing arrow to his heart before he waved his hand and drew an image with soul force that transformed into Kara Moonridge.

However, Mo Mingzhi unnaturally froze upon looking at the beautiful image.

“Oops, I led her around as she chased me…”

Drake Blackburn’s eyes widened in shock.

“Did she attack you? She wouldn’t as we saw your whole group descending to the battle arena…”

“Well, she did say that she wouldn’t attack me and told me to stop, but I just can’t tell for sure. I didn’t heed any of their words since I am weaker than them all. Can’t afford to be captured and humiliated.”

“As if anyone has the courage and the depravity to humiliate a woman in this competition!” Drake Blackburn’s expression twisted before he bellowed towards the skies, “Lead me to her last seen location. I’ll protect you on the way…!”

“Alright…”

Mo Mingzhi nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed. However, looking at him hide his worry behind cringe movements like hiding depression behind self-deprecating humor, she recognized that he was a true earthling.

Nevertheless, knowing that it was important to regroup in this battle format, she quickly led Drake Blackburn to Kara Moonridge.

They traveled around a hundred kilometers before they found Kara Moonridge engaged in battle with two others.

Drake Blackburn’s eyes turned sharp as he shot towards them with full speed, overtaking Mo Mingzhi.

In the distance, Kara Moonridge placed elegant steps in mid-air. The atmosphere was blazing that it could burn Sixth Stage Cultivators with ease. However, within their domain’s range, an icy aura spread remained in space, moving around. She kept dodging the blazing wisps of fire that threatened to burn her into ashes with elegance as though she was dancing.”

“Damn it. She’s skillful in using Yin Laws and is slippery as a snake. Corner her, or we wouldn’t be able to oust her.”

“Yes!”

The two of them attacked from two sides, conjuring wisps of flames that sought to lock her in place.

Kara Moonridge felt restricted. However, the oppressiveness of their domains was not that binding to her. Her lips curved, feeling that she had enough before her lithe fingers moved, wanting to make a move. However, the curved lips turned into a wide smile as she dropped her hand.

“Bastards! You two really want to die, huh?”

*Shhh!~*

A searing heat came from the side as it rushed towards them.

One of the two just noticed the approach of a golden-robed figure blazing with golden flames and instantly stopped using his crimson flames on the woman to concentrate on the approaching figure, but the oppressiveness of the golden flames directly made his heartthrob, making him aware that he wouldn’t be able to come out unscathed.

His instincts screamed for him to escape, but it was already too late as a massive wave of golden flames enveloped him.

“You…!”

The other man looked at the person he teamed up with, engulfed in overbearing golden flames. It didn’t take him long to realize that this man was her partner since they both wore the Dual Lotus Manor’s emblem in their robes. However, without even going to help the person he teamed up with, he instantly decided to retreat in the opposite direction.

“Everyone is watching, and that was a bad move even though a logical one…”

A melodious voice echoed by his side before a burst of ice in its liquid form shot towards him, quickly encasing him in ice even though his body was covered in flames, quickly extinguishing those fiery wisps and even freezing his meridians, leaving him unable to muster any energy to defend himself as he was suppressed.

‘This woman… she… she hid her strength!?’

His pupils trembled, making him wonder if she was playing with them before as all she kept doing was dodging with the advantage of her Yin Laws.

In the distance, Mo Mingzhi saw Drake Blackburn and Kara Moonridge defeat their opponents easily and had them eliminated, making her aware that they both possessed Perfect Domains. However, it was merely a possibility to the majority of the crowd outside as they weren’t sure, but they still looked awed by their performance.

She neared them before turning to look at Kara Moonridge with an apologetic smile on her face as she gestured.

“Sorry, I didn’t know how you looked before.”

“It’s fine.”

Kara Moonridge genuinely smiled behind her blue veil as she sent a soul transmission, “How is he? We hope the resources we exchanged last time were useful to him and his second wife, Natalya.”

“It certainly was, and I hope that you have some rare findings from the depraved mini realm to trade.”

“We do.”

Both ladies smiled at each other, appearing rather straightforward while Drake Blackburn rubbed his non-existent sweat, wondering where Davis found this deadly beauty with lewd and crazy vibes and if her story was true.
