Chapter 1616 - A Mistake...?
"Wait... Schleya...! You misunderstood me...!"
Mo Mingzhi raised her hands as she stood in front of Davis while Davis was actually dumbfounded that this masked woman recognized him.
She was none other than the Young Blood Demoness of the Blood Pledge Villa! It was even surprising to him that she reached the eighth stage from the peak level of the seventh stage and having an overbearing prowess for her age.
However...
"Why are you always perceptive at the wrong time, Young Blood Demoness? Do you want to get dishonored by me so badly, you virgin woman?"
Davis couldn't help but grit his teeth in annoyance.
At that time, he was masked, so how did this woman discern him this time?
"You took everything away from me! Now die!"
*Sila!~* *Sila!~*
Blood energy ran rampant inside the cave, almost destroying the surroundings as the power of blood bled through everything as if it was corroding, but abruptly, the blood energy that was about to attack both him and Mo Mingzhi were all immensely suppressed as they fragmented.
Davis raised his hand and began to start closing his palms.
*Gasp!~*
The Young Blood Demoness's body went stiff as she held her throat, beginning to feel that she was going to be squeezed, no, imploded to death from within. The mask fell off from her face as it smashed on the floor, revealing her gorgeous face that was twisted into one of sheer horror. Instantly, tears began running down her eyes, making her wonder if this was the end for her when she suddenly felt the pressure disappear.
"Wait...!"
Only that vague voice could be heard in her muffled hearing before she fell on her knees and placed both her hands on the ground, taking deep breaths as her bosoms heaved.
Davis's narrowed eyes looked at Mo Mingzhi grasp his hands, stopping him from making a move.
"Mingzhi, she saw me..."
He had no choice but to kill her, and although needless as it was, it was needed to be done in his mind.
"Wait...! Please wait... It isn't what you think it is..."
Mo Mingzhi was absolutely stuck within both parties trying to kill each other. Her charming eyes were already wet with tears from seeing Davis alive, but knowing that Davis was about to kill Schleya unknowingly, she felt like she had to stop it no matter what.
"Because she saved you...?"
Davis couldn't help but ask as the Young Blood Demoness said along the lines of something like that.
"No, I could've survived by myself, armed with so many protective artifacts underneath my clothes."
"Uh?" Davis became confused.
Then why?
"You did her wrong once already, so I won't let you do it twice...!"
Davis pursed his lips before he sighed.
Davis's heart shook.
This... this was the power of forgiveness against darkness?
If it couldn't be any more obvious, she completely forgave him for killing her father! In the same way, she didn't want him to be wrong in all matters since she considered him to be a righteous person in her heart. She wanted him to rectify this mistake he made that would put him on the right path in her mind.
If he wasn't wrong, she was on the right path to comprehending Heart Intent as she understood both sides of the matter!
"Protect me? A little girl like you...?"
Schleya hatefully uttered from the side, causing the both of them to look at her.
"A little girl? How rude." Mo Mingzhi suddenly smiled and wrapped her arm's around Davis's arm, pushing her bosoms against him as she smirked at Schleya.
"Surely, you identified my man from the scent of blood but couldn't you recognize him from somewhere else...?"
Schleya narrowed her eyes, wondering what nonsense Mo Mingzhi was speaking about for a long time before she suddenly noticed Davis's appearance. Those facial features... They looked very similar to the dead...
"Emp- Emperor of Death!?"
She shrieked, her body heavily shuddering that she didn't even realize that she was shaking from sheer terror.
Davis pursed his lips, wondering why Mo Mingzhi revealed that if the other party didn't recognize his face first, but nevertheless, there was no room for doubt anymore. However, he couldn't understand how Schleya discovered him in the first place that he sent Mo Mingzhi a soul transmission, asking her how Schleya managed to do that.
"It was through the scent of blood, or so that's how she says it and differentiates people based on their blood aura."
"Blood aura? Do you mean human aura as it is the same with magical beasts? Is that even discernible to an individual level?"
"To people who train in Blood Laws, apparently, it is, especially when they get closer to that someone to the point of touch..."
Davis's brows couldn't help but twitch.
Was it the time when he was pinning her down in order to scare her into submission that she learned of his unique blood aura?
"You're coming with us, Schleya."
"Just kill me and be done with it...!"
Despite still shuddering, Schleya gnashed her teeth and spat out those words with a hateful look on her face. It seemed that she had given up fighting against them.
After all, even she knew that it was absolutely futile against the Emperor of Death!
"Mingzhi, I don't have time to do this..." Davis couldn't help but sigh.
"That's what makes it all the more convincing that you're trying to make amends for your mistakes, Davis."
Mo Mingzhi separated from him and gazed at him with all seriousness in her eyes.
Davis gazed at her for a few seconds before he shook his head.
"Sigh, don't blame me if I make love with her later on..."
Mo Mingzhi was just about to smile that he consented, but her expression froze, her mouth opening agape.
"Hey...!"
Soon, they moved out with an unconscious Schleya in tow.
