Divine Emperor of Death

A blonde-haired woman was seated in a luxurious chair. Her long blonde-hair gently smoothed over her shoulders and extended to her waist over the back, seemingly dazzling under the moonlight. She was donned in luxurious blue robes that emphasized her twin-peaks, thin waist, and long legs, making her figure seem eerily perfect to even the most judging eyes. 

Purple eyes were present below her two blonde eyebrows, while her nose and thin rosy lips were flawlessly sculpted, making her look mesmerizing. Moreover, her cold yet attractive expression would leave the others gasping for breath when they get a glimpse of her for the first time. It was plausible that they would forget to breathe the heaven and earth energy at that particular moment.

A purple fur coat draped her shoulders to ward off the chill, and she seemed to hold a letter in her hand that made her purple eyes moist.

The only thing missing on her adorned head was a crown because she was none other than the ruling Empress of the Loret Empire, Clara Loret!

The other woman who sat opposite Clara with an equally emotional bearing was none other than Princess Isabella! She wore a luxurious crimson-colored princess robe, making her look incredibly alluring.

The two of them seemed to be deep in conversation over the moonlit night.

"I see... so that's what had happened in these two and a half years..." Clara's voice seemed to be tinged with a bit of excitement, wistfulness, and sorrow as she expressed her opinion after hearing Princess Isabella's side of the story.

"That's right..." Princess Isabella bit her lips as her cheeks blushed, "That's why I said that I wasn't lying when I said that I became your brother's woman..."

Clara couldn't help but wryly smile, her beauty becoming otherworldly, "I know that it's the truth..."

Princess Isabella blinked. She then recalled Davis saying something like Clara can differentiate between truth from falsehood. 

'Is that what he meant...?' She couldn't help but think.

"Still... You are indeed Davis's little sister. You're so charming and lovely..." Even Princess Isabella couldn't help but comment on that smile.

All this while, Clara possessed an indifferent expression, almost causing her to sweat buckets. Davis had spoken a lot about his little sister to her during the time they spent traveling, and she could see that they were extremely close, unlike a normal brother and sister or her own counterparts in the Ruth Empire.

After coming here and meeting face to face with Clara, she became clear that Clara recognized and admired her brother more than she imagined.

For some reason, she felt like she was meeting her in-laws as Clara's stone-cold face made it difficult for her to talk. It was as if her purple eyes always kept peering at her secrets, making her want to walk away as it made her uncomfortable. Nevertheless, since she knew that both Davis and Clara were close siblings, she wanted to be on good terms with her.

Clara smiled a bit more at the compliment. 

Ever since she became aware of her own social ineptness, Clara tried to smile more. In fact, her two little siblings always asked her if she was sad or heartbroken to keep an indifferent expression, so she tried to smile for them as well.

She was constantly learning and growing by observing more.

Nevertheless, Clara was still shocked to see Princess Isabella today.

However, she had some inkling of her presence since Mira, the little Earth Dragon who always followed her around, abruptly abandoned her a few days ago and flew towards the horizon, towards the direction where Davis and the others left. 

At that moment, she knew that the only person who could attract Mira was none other than Princess Isabella since they were bound by blood. But, she became a little worried since she didn't know what the other party might have in store for her.

Without her brother present, she instantly became anxious. If Princess Isabella was their enemy, there was no way she would be able to counterattack.

A few days later, now, as if confirming her doubts, Princess Isabella did arrive at the Loret Capital, but contrary to her expectations, she declared that she was his brother's third woman, giving her the shock of her life because her Transcendent Truth Eyes perceived it to be the truth!

She didn't even know who the second woman was, but there was already a third woman in her precious brother's life?

However, she didn't feel that her brother was a player but felt that he was rather stubborn and kind. She had seen her brother break the hearts of many castle maids and the noblewomen present in this capital alone, so she could understand his plight of not being able to hold back anymore.

Even her little brother Edward seemed to have already slept with two innocent castle maids in the absence of mother and father, so what needs to be said about her big brother who kept himself to a single woman all this time?

Honestly, she expected Princess Shirley to be her big brother's second woman, but after hearing from Princess Isabella's account that it was a woman named Natalya Stirlander, a complete stranger, she didn't know what to think.

Yet, Clara remained adamant, thinking that her brother wouldn't choose someone unworthy.

Then Princess Isabella gave her a letter along with a rather expensive-looking spatial ring, making her widen her eyes. The moment she saw the letter, she knew that it was from her brother.

When she opened it and read her brother's heartfelt care and words, a tear unwittingly fell from her eyes. Nevertheless, she continued reading it, becoming aware of his achievements and the treasures included before noticing the spatial ring's content. He had also included some instructions, which he said that she could choose to follow or not but also mentioned that he would be happier if she chose to follow his instructions.

Clara didn't even hesitate in making her decision to follow her brother's words at that moment.

One of those instructions was to...

"So she is Mo Mingzhi, the little girl whom Evelynn said that Davis took care of in his past life..." Princess Isabella's eyes flashed with a judgmental light as she turned to look at the black-haired white-robed woman floating above at this moment.

"That's right. I can confirm that fact since I'm the one who accompanied Brother to his past life's world..."

Clara also simultaneously turned to look at Mo Mingzhi as she spoke, a complicated glint emerging in her eyes. 

Brother had actually instructed her to give her ten milliliters of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's Nectar, causing her to feel some doubt over this matter.

It was a heavenly resource, yet brother was magnanimous enough to give a small amount to Mo Mingzhi, but that small amount was enough to cause any powerhouse in the Grand Sea Continent to go crazy with greed and desire, capable of making them even kill their own children and sell their women for it!

And yet, her brother actually gave it to this woman... making her doubt if her brother liked Mo Mingzhi or not even though her eyes said otherwise in the past when she interrogated.

Actually, she didn't know that Davis gave ten milliliters to whomever he felt like giving as long as they are deserving to be rewarded. Ten milliliters was such a small amount that it didn't pain him in any case.

In the airspace, Mo Mingzhi's expression was grave, but it froze as she noticed both of them turning their heads to look at her. Her expression turned doubtful before it turned into one of awkwardness.

Looks like the purple-haired woman was an ally with the way she was seated, non-hostile, confident, and curious.

"Come here, Mo Mingzhi. This person wants to see you..." Clara spoke as she gestured towards Princess Isabella.

This was why Clara called Mo Mingzhi at this moment. Otherwise, she would've called her later to give the nectar as her brother instructed.

Mo Mingzhi blinked as she became cautious. Still, she approached the purple-haired woman as it was the trusted little sister's words.

On the other hand, Princess Isabella began to analyze the other party.

'Oh, she is extremely beautiful, contrary to what Evelynn said...'

'Ah, that's right. She was a mortal before they left, so it makes sense that she was not that beautiful, full of impurities... but...'

Princess Isabella's eyes held a bit of disbelief as she sensed Mo Mingzhi's cultivation, 'Was she really a mortal?'

Mo Mingzhi was actually at the Revolving Core Stage's peak, the Third Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation. Not only that but her Body Tempering Cultivation appeared to be at Peak-Level Iron Stage, the Third Stage, while her Soul Forging Cultivation was at the Low-Level Infant Soul Stage, the Second Stage!

How could a mortal who knew nothing about this world or the Sky Word Language gain so much power in a scant three years?

Princess Isabella felt absurd!

Of course, she could make sense of it as the Loret Empire's resources were ample enough to make more cultivators like her, but to fork out a peak Third Stage Tri-Cultivator out of a mortal who knew nothing in a mere three years was just outright impossible for them or her Ruth Empire in her books.

'She... She's actually not bad...!'

Princess Isabella was taken aback by her own judgment.

Mo Mingzhi's toes reached the ground as she daintily hopped to Clara's side before coming to a stop, anxiously looking at her for some help, but the other party failed to provide any while just normally staring at her.

'Cool little sister, please aid your sister-in-law here...' Mo Mingzhi inwardly tried to relay her intent with pleading eyes before a melodious voice echoed.

"I am Isabella Ruth, the former Empress of the Ruth Empire." Princess Isabella spoke before she gestured at the stunned Mo Mingzhi, "It's your turn."

Indeed, Mo Mingzhi was absolutely stunned. Such a bigshot was in front of her, but she failed to recognize Mt.Tai. However, her memory instantly recalled that this former Empress went together with Davis and the others to the other side.

Her body began to tremble as her expression underwent a sudden change!

*Bang!~*

Mo Mingzhi banged the table between them with both her hands as an excited expression appeared on her face, "Didn't Davis return with you!? Is he still on the other side!?"

"..."

"..."
