Chapter 1972: Restorative Grasp
Once Mingzhi and Schleya left, Davis smirked at Adlet Rayburn.
"So you are finally willing to talk to me?"
Adlet Rayburn could only wryly smile.
How could he talk to a person powerful than him, or rather, he didn't even know if he was being held under the threat of a knife to his throat. Only after this complex situation came to an end did he understand that the other party did not want to steal his treasures but form an acquaintance which every genius would at least try.
Obviously, the Emperor of Death didn't seem to be the loner type with so many people around him.
Thinking like this, Adlet Rayburn didn't want to beat around the bush either.
"I'll be straightforward. Part of the reason why I accepted your invitation is that I want Soul Palace's light attributed techniques and manuals."
Davis shook his head.
"Then you can leave. I only needed you to represent the Alstreim Family anyway, and it's going to end."
The Soul Palace possessed not only Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals but also Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation Manuals and Techniques. However, because the disciples and elders themselves disdained to use these, thinking that the soul would let them reign supreme as it did so many years, they did not use them much.
It could be said that they were fools to underestimate Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation, but it could also be said that they were fanatics of Soul Forging Cultivation.
Adlet Rayburn appeared a bit disappointed before he asked.
"What can I do to acquire them?"
"Then work. Work for me."
'So it comes down to that...'
Adlet Rayburn sighed and suddenly understood that Davis wanted him as a subordinate, but he wasn't willing. After all, they were geniuses of a calamitous era. Even if someone's stronger than them, it was still beneath them to come under that someone. He was about to decline when he heard Davis speak again.
"Or, bring out something worthy of those techniques and manuals. We can trade."
'Tell that first...!'
"Touching the area that needed to be treated would result in greater efficiency."
When Davis heard Mingzhi's soul transmission, he almost coughed out blood because her words were certainly true, but clearly, her intent was not. However, he didn't need to touch Schleya as his prowess was already high enough to treat her.
He mused Schleya's blood essence had already been replenished by eighty-six percent, but not even one percent of his soul force was used. He could afford the rate of efficiency to be low.
"Mingzhi, are you trying to con me? You're the one who said that I should have no intentions towards Schleya."
'I changed my mind.'
Mingzhi smiled, but she didn't say anything.
Davis stared at her but didn't take his hand off as another disturbance might wake Schleya off. However, he wasn't willing to let this matter go.
His palm that unleashed the pure white energy moved upwards, encasing Mingzhi's hand.
Mingzhi's expression suddenly fell. It then turned pleasant, causing her to bite her lips, looking at her fingers twitch as she held his hand.
"Scoundrel. What are you doing?"
"What else? Don't you know that hand-holding is one of the acts belonging to the highest order of lewdness?"
Davis teasingly sneered as he replied to her soul transmission. Having increased her sensitivity and pleasure through the grayish-white energy, he made her feel good, trying to get back at her.
'Bastard... I'm doing this for you...'
However, Mingzhi wasn't willing to back down either. But she didn't take her hand away.
She raised her other hand and put her index finger between her lips. Her expression became seductive, her eyes becoming teary while her brows lightly furrowed. A few seconds later, she started breathing heavily, and it was unknown if she was doing it on purpose or because she was feeling too good from the hand-holding already.
Looking at Mingzhi's bosoms heave, Davis's throat became dry, not to mention that he was grabbing one already, seemingly on the verge of squishing it from Mingzhi's seductive motions. His eyes almost became bloodshot from holding back before he gently sighed.
"You win..."
He stopped pleasuring Mingzhi's hand, causing her to break out with a bright smile, allowing him to understand that she was mostly doing it on purpose.
"But don't forget you almost had a threesome with Schleya and me."
However, his reminder froze her smile.
Davis was pleasuring her while they were connected to Schleya's bosom.. Somehow, she didn't doubt the words he said, her expression becoming crimson.
