Chapter 1406 - Close In Private?
Nevertheless, Davis knew that it was dangerous because Ancestor Cornelia might get angered after she realizes this loophole, but the realization would be far later if at all she successfully gains some additional lifespan instead of dying.
As for when she would truly die, he had no idea because he could not see through her with his Death God Eyes, nor could he offensively probe her.
Davis felt that he was rather obnoxious himself for considering a ploy like this, but he mused that it was Ancestor Cornelia's fault for forcing him. She should've just stayed inside and let the Burning Phoenix Ridge function as it is instead of targeting him, so he felt that she deserved this rightfully.
But was increasing her lifespan necessarily a good thing?
'Perhaps not...'
Davis mused as he turned to look towards Shirley.
Looking at her viewing him with a blank face that was full of unknown emotions, he knew that she was stumped to react. There was everyone here, so she couldn't react intimately with him, leaving her blank-faced. He couldn't help smile at her, knowing that she was deeply moved beyond words.
On the other hand, Sect Master Lea Weiss looked at Chu Feng with incredulity, not believing that he really pulled this off. Not only were there no punishments for her, but Grand Elder Valerian was also dead, killed by him in an instant.
She actually felt lost at this moment, not knowing what to do as all this while her mind was occupied with the intent to kill Valerian ever since her Burning Phoenix Companion Raka died. It was her motivation to continue cultivating instead of marrying as every woman in her Weiss Family had done, but now that her motivation had gone, she suddenly felt absentminded before she shook her head, quickly regaining back her mental state.
However, she felt annoyed, not knowing what else to do next before she decided to strengthen the sect's defenses for a possible invasion. She also expected some instructions from Ancestor Cornelia as she turned to look at her.
However, she noticed that Ancestor Cornelia stared at Chu Feng, looking like she wanted to say something before her dried lips moved.
"Chu Feng, you may already know, but I warn you to not carelessly display Death Laws in front of the four great righteous sects. The others may not care as they simply do not know the carnage Death Law Cultivators have brought to this world, but the powers who exist long enough to know will absolutely try to kill you as long as they think we can."
Davis chuckled, feeling like it was the case back then when he was unaware, but still, he couldn't help but feel confused about the sudden advice.
"Then why did you not?"
"Wait, you don't need to know all this. Just leave after you have fulfilled the end of our contract.."
Davis's lips couldn't help but turn into an amused curve.
Looks like gaining a lost manual of those four great fire magical beasts were something that caused her mental state to collapse, no longer being able to maintain her composure while she became naive enough to open up to him talk about her reasons for leaving him alive.
"At this point, you'll be considered dead. Whatever happened here stays here, and don't you dare enter Shirley's soul sea again, even if you are her master!"
Sect Master Lea Weiss's eyes widened before they narrowed, "We cannot even become acquaintances until you show your true face. Moreover, Ancestor Cornelia could've suppressed your soul and made you show your true face, but she didn't do it. You should be thankful to her as well since you did not get killed right away."
"You are half-right. I did not get killed because I am disguised and obscure. I earned her respect and dread through my own ways, but the other half is indeed her concession. So, I do not have to be thankful."
"You're an arrogant man..."
"And you're a prideful woman..."
Davis replied while Sect Master Lea Weiss's crimson lips moved before her eyes curved. It was almost as if she had smiled behind her crimson veil.
"You're the only man who managed to see my face in these few thousand years. However, just because you've seen my face doesn't mean you could take liberties with me like now where you stopped calling me Sect Master as you should. I ask for you not to have any strange thoughts about that matter. That was intentiona-"
"I know..." Davis cut her off, shaking his head, "Although I don't know Sect Master means by not to have strange thoughts. Can you elaborate on that? What kind of strange thoughts should I not have?"
His voice sounded innocent, as if he wasn't the slaughterer who had just killed three Ninth Stage Powerhouses like it was nothing.
Sect Master Lea Weiss's pupils trembled. One could see her ears becoming slightly red, casting a strange yet adorable countenance that she didn't have before.
Davis blinked, feeling that if she didn't have her crimson veil, he would find it hard to resist teasing this stubborn woman. However, to think that he made the Burning Phoenix Ridge Sect Master blush. He couldn't help but feel narcissistic.
"You will do as you have promised now like the man I am convinced you are, so don't disappoint me."
Davis caught the scroll made from Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast Hides as well as Jade Slip that seemed to be capable of storing and securing information to an unbelievable degree that Davis could instantly tell that only people with the burning phoenix blood could read, but anyone could record information.
'The world is truly big...' He almost couldn't help but comment as there really were specific items made for the sect members. So many inventions of pre-existing items, but he had only seen a few. However, he had just been born into this world when compared to the people around here, whose ages were already in the thousands.
'I will witness more and more and live my life to the fullest...!'
Davis smiled as he opened his mouth.
"Rather than disappointing Sect Master Lea Weiss, I don't like to disappoint myself."
Floating cross-legged, Davis placed the scroll on the floor and began recording the Incandescent Vermilion Soul Mantra, causing Sect Master Lea Weiss to narrow her eyes, wanting to witness the rebirth of a Soul Forging Cultivation Manual that could potentially make her and many in her sect a Soul Emperor.
However, realizing that the manual that was going to be transcribed was just at the Eighth Stage, her face couldn't help but turn a bit disappointed, gazing to look at the man and the woman who looked at him with a bewildered gaze.
'Where under the heavens did these two come from? A lost manual from the Vermilion Bird and a few little drops of diluted blood essence of the Fire Phoenix? Perhaps, there is way more to them than what my eyes seem to perceive...'
She narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had to unearth the mystery of this man! However, recalling that she would be instakilled by him if she were to offend him, she pursed her lips, feeling complex.
Sect Master Lea Weiss's expression froze before she imperceptibly shook her head, shaking away that strange thought that emerged in her mind.
