Divine Emperor of Death

Drake's heart warmed, but he shook his head, "It's fine. I can challenge him to a life and death battle now that I've become a core disciple, but you cannot. I would be harming you if I were to accept this favor, and besides, I want to end his life myself!"

When Drake finished his speech, they finally arrived at the top of the mountain. The top was flat, carved to host a mansion. It seemed luxurious and grand, stretching ninety meters wide and reaching fifty meters tall!

Davis simply nodded and didn't say anything anymore, but there was still a murderous glint in his sapphire eyes.

Drake felt a strange aura, but by the time he realized it, that strange aura had disappeared, making him feel that it was just his imagination. They both walked into the mansion, seemingly greeted by a row of cyan-robed women, with another blue-robed woman at the forefront.

"Davis, you have finally come to visit us." The blue-robed woman spoke.

She was none other than Kara Moonridge, the princess of the fallen kingdom, Moonridge Kingdom.

"Kara, I see you have been rather well. Oh, wait... You're also a core-disciple?"

On the way, Davis saw many black-robed women, a few green-robed, and a minority of cyan-robed women. This made him think that the ones who wore black robes were workers; those who wore green robes were outer disciples; those who wore cyan robes were inner disciples. This was strictly for females as there was a different attire-code for males.

In any case, this meant that Kara Moonridge, who wore a blue-robe that has the symbol of the dual lotus, growing on a smaller lily-pad cushion, could only be a core disciple similar to Drake.

"Indeed..." Kara flashed a proud smile, "It's all thanks to husband."

Davis smiled as he looked at Drake, "Seems like you're placed on a pedestal to me. How is it hard for you?"

"Oh? I meant that it was 'hard' for me all the time..." Drake winked to Davis, causing the women to become embarrassed while Davis chuckled.

"Those lovely ladies over there?" He asked.

The five cyan-robed women were all not that beautiful in terms of facial features, but they still possessed quite a bit of charm to them while also possessing fine assets that would make a man look more than once.

Starting from the left, Drake introduced them one by one, "Swansea, Teriyela, Maina, Freya, Xanarea. They've taken up my family name, Blackburn, along with Kara, so they all belong to me!" Drake rubbed his hands as he laughed, causing the women to stare at him with both shyness and hostility.

"They're inner disciples?" Davis asked.

"Yes, the inner disciple exam was just conducted a month ago, so they have become inner disciples at that time, while Kara and I just became core disciples, and we all moved into this mountain manor allocated to us by the Dual Lotus Abode. That's when you called, and I said 'perfect timing!'"

"Alright, but I don't get it..." Davis felt amused, "You're allowed to have a core disciple and five inner disciples all to yourself? Don't get me wrong, but isn't this also a dual cultivation power? Here, humans are literally resources..."

"I understand your doubt..." Drake nodded his head and proceeded to explain without becoming offended, "Outer disciples can have a maximum of two outer disciples as their partners. Inner disciples can have a maximum of two inner disciples and ten outer disciples as partners, while core disciples can have a maximum of two core disciples, ten inner disciples, and a hundred outer disciples as partners."

"Don't forget that this is all doable as long as it is within the consent of both parties. Well, at least, on the surface." Drake acted as if he had added terms and conditions to his words as he drew the star symbol in empty-air.

"I see... but that means," Davis stared at Drake as his mouth becoming agape, "You really meant when you said that you're going to make an additional harem of a hundred and six more women!?"

"You bastard! Do you want to get killed!?" Drake grabbed Davis's collar as he slightly glanced towards the side.

"..."

The stare his women gave him made him freeze before he let go of Davis as he smiled, "Haha, my friend here is just joking..."

Davis silently laughed before he seriously nodded at Kara and the others, "Yes, I was just joking!"

Drake turned around and held his forehead with his palm, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. He had brought a disaster to home, and he only had himself to blame.

"Davis, although a hundred and eight women are still farfetched, we all know that he aims for senior Jade, who is still said to have remained pure, waiting for the right person," Kara spoke.

"Senior who?" It was Davis's turn to be confused.

"Senior Jade Sua, a possessor of the Nine Yin Exquisite Body just as me, but hers is said to be a variant of some kind, making her dantian be crippled and useless for some reason. Even the Dual Lotus Abode is confused about her strange constitution."

"Nevertheless, with her own strength, without dual cultivating with anyone, it is said that she carved a path for herself, entering the Dual Lotus Abode at age 50, starting from an outer disciple before entering the Peak-Level Martial Master Stage in two hundred and fifty years, becoming a core disciple!"

"Unfortunately, she made no progress in the last fifty years, and her time as a core disciple is almost going to be over, so she would have to graduate, either becoming a deacon or leave the Dual Lotus Abode."

"Not only husband but almost every core disciple is crazy about her in these few decades since she had increased her Body Tempering Cultivation to the peak of the seventh stage, becoming a vessel for a large amount of vitality."

"In dual cultivation, a cultivator's vitality is attractive and enticing as it directly translates to an increase in the receiver's or the beneficiary's cultivation, so you could imagine the popularity she has... However, my husband has a genuine relationship with her like they are friends, but he just can't seem to take the next step because of some reason, perhaps because of us."

Drake quivered as he heard Kara's account. He couldn't help but turn around and smile wryly, "You know me all too well, Kara."

Kara rolled her eyes, but she still possessed a smile, "No one's stopping you. Didn't you receive her favor in the core abode's trial? Make her yours!"

Drake's eyes widened, "You... Are you serious?"

That demanding and obsessive Kara was telling him to get another woman? Was this an illusion?

Kara sighed as she cast a look behind.

"Husband, there's not a single time you've left us behind while citing our powerlessness."

"You gave us your all the time in the world, not getting new cultivation partners and instead concentrating on our cultivation. How could we demand more or even restrict?"

"Darling, don't restrict yourself. We support you even if it means having to offend the entirety of the male core disciples in this Dual Lotus Abode!"

"That's right! We simply can't see your wishes remain unfulfilled."

Swansea, Teriyela, Maina, and Freya expressed their views as they possessed various expressions of support. 

On the other hand, the shy Xanarea lowered her head, "Senior Jade Sua is a kind woman. I'm sure... sure that she will accept husband and us."

"As you call us, your 'council of harem' has decided it for you." Kara giggled, "Go get her, tiger."

Drake's heart palpitated.

Not only were they extremely good to him, but they were also raising his position to greater heights in front of his friend. They were indeed his wives!

Meanwhile, Davis looked at Drake in exasperation and almost facepalmed, 'He's been low-key teaching memes and movie dialogues to his wives while flirting, isn't he?'

"I see you are on your way to obtain the seventh treasure of the world, the woman known as Senior Jade Sua." Davis chuckled before he flicked his sleeves, "I won't disturb then, but I need to finish what I came here for."

"What? Stay for some time. As a core disciple, I have a month's time to host a guest. If it ran out, Kara could host you as well." Drake turned to look at Kara, who then nodded.

"Yes, it isn't a problem. You can learn many things here, especially in the Passion Library. It will be extremely useful to make your women squeal in pleasure."

Davis blinked at Kara's statement. Now, he was certainly interested.

However, Drake suddenly frowned, "If I recall correctly, wasn't it said that a guest isn't freely allowed into the Passion Library and can only enter with the recommendation of a core disciple as well as paying a huge amount of Spirit Stones directly proportional to the time spent inside?"

He wryly smiled at Davis, "I think you would have to spend a lot of High-Level Spirit Stones."

"No problem, I'm filthy rich..." Davis smirked.

Drake's eyes narrowed as he held Davis's shoulders, "How rich?"

Davis felt this strange pressure descending on him. He looked around and saw that all six of them looked at him as if he was some prey.

He wryly chuckled, "Like... millions..."

"..."

All six of their jaws dropped, their eyes emitting a strange glint.

Drake revealed a big smile, "This is a robbery, hand over OOF!-"

Davis punched Drake's gut before his lips moved, "I did that once already, so enough with the jokes. I'm here to obtain Dual Cultivation Manuals, and as long as you can help me, I can make it worth your while."

He strangely smiled as if he was a drug dealer while Drake's expression became brighter like a hundred watts light bulb!
