Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 3903 Thin Ice

Chapter 3903 Thin Ice

"…"
Davis glanced at Fenren with a side-eye.
He really wanted to punch his stupid face right now. He glanced at Renfa Jadelight, wondering if he should snitch to her, but spared him of the cold gaze since he already made things difficult between them.
Still, instead of punching the face, Davis threw a hand back on Fenren's shoulder and punched his gut after locking him in place.
"Huho"
Fenren yelped in pain, his ribs trembling from the impact.
"Are you trying to get me into trouble again when I finally think I can patch up things with Saintess Lunaria?" Davis said.
"Huh? Patch up? Did you get into trouble? Ah, knowing the romanticist you are, you tried to throw some signs to her, didn't you?" Fenren grinned.
"…"
Davis had the urge to roll his eyes, "Well, she tried to kill me, and I insulted her character in response. It's a long story, but one in which both parties were right and wrong."
"…!" Fenren's eyes bulged.
Insulting a Saintess's character? That was deserving of a thousand deaths.
He felt like he may have heard something he shouldn't have heard.
"And I already told you I will not help you with Senior Shimei. Senior Shimei hates other races intrinsically, not in a bad way but in an intimate way. All Nine Lives Gracious Fox does, and even Everlight was the same if I didn't possess life energy, so if you seriously want a Nine Lives Gracious Fox, you better start training to comprehend life energy."
"…"
Fenren's expression sank. Comprehend life energy?
Could it be that in this life, he was never meant to be with a Nine Lives Gracious Fox?
"Even then, it is not guaranteed you will succeed. Moreover, Senior Shimei is off limits." Davis scoffed.
"Why? Have you set your sights on her? You have Everlight. You can't do this!" Fenren grabbed Davis's shoulder and shook him heavily.
"No…" Davis inwardly cried.
His friend's magical beast's hormones were running crazy. It made him remember the time when Nadia's fellow clan members wanted to take her as their wife because she mutated into a higher being. They really wanted to impregnate her then and there as their hormones ran wild before Nadia taught them a lesson.
Just like that time, Fenren finally thought he had a chance with Shimei despite the difference in their stature.
Knowing this, Davis's expression turned solemn.
"I respect Senior Shimei even though I rarely talked to her, which means I don't have an interest in her. However, her existence is very important to Saintess Lunaria, and they might not do well without each other, considering they have been together for millions of years. Or do you plan to separate them? Forcefully, if I must say…"
Fenren's expression sank, "… that… that feels like blasphemy…"
Their legend was something written in many murals and ruins. He practically grew up looking up to them. He couldn't break them apart.
"See?" Davis looked smug, "Their legend is too sacred for a mutt like you to be involved."
"Fuck, you're just planning on taking them yourself, you womanizing bastard!"
Fenren grabbed Davis's neck and shook him to death.
"…"
The others couldn't tell why the Divine Emperor of Death was being abused by Fenren Jadelight.
Could it be that this family back in the Starlight Jade Wolf Lower Realm died, and he was taking out on Davis? But the way Davis was smiling, it didn't seem like it.
"But-"
Davis suddenly stiffened his muscles, causing Fenren's power to turn useless. The former stared at the latter, looking serious.
"I don't know about you practicing life energy, but I can definitely make you reborn into a death wolf."
"…!" Fenren's eyes widened.
Unlike Everlight, who was a half-fox and half-wolf, Fenren was a pure wolf. He would not be able to mutate into a fox, so he could only become a death wolf like the Nether Springs Death Wolf. Since his three brothers were willing to risk it all, Davis was willing to make them Divergents.
He continued, "If you want to become stronger faster, then that is one pathway. Otherwise, if you don't want to lose your identity as a light-attributed wolf and want to climb the ranks into making your light as pure as a shining star or as gentle as healing water, then I will support that too. The catch is— you will be a target of my experiments, so you could die a horrible death, but don't worry, I have the capability to revive you as long as your soul essence doesn't completely collapse."
Davis smirked at Fenren.
Back then, he wasn't able to revive Katherine Hilltail by himself and had to use Fallen Heaven because one of her spiritual souls was damaged, but now, his Reincarnation Laws had reached a high level for him to be able to mend the spiritual soul.
That was one of the terrifying aspects of the Reincarnation Laws he learned.
"Of course, I'm going to make similar offers to Soaren and Andiron. The three of you will undoubtedly become Divergents after being made to undergo a profound change by yours truly."
"…"
Davis proudly uttered, causing Fenren to tremble.
"Excuse me, but the two of you are making us blush…" Laphria Rinmei puffed her cheeks.
Davis and Fenren glanced at her. They saw the others also making weird faces at them before realizing they were holding each other for such a long time while saying nothing because they were using physical soul transmission to talk.
"Could it be…?" Karyot raised his brows before he shook his head, "Don't worry. I don't judge."
"You can judge after you send your mother-"Fenren was about to roar 'to my bed' before Davis hurriedly closed his mouth and swung him down to the ground, smashing his head.
Wiping the blood off his hands, Davis wryly laughed.
"He meant he would treat your mother to a delight in one of his top-tier restaurants. After all, he's a king of a clan."
"Makes sense…" Karyot's smile was stiff.
Davis nodded.
Insults were not taken lightly, and insults about mothers were the utmost taboo in the cultivation world. One wrong word and one could have their head cut off before they even knew it. However, he didn't blame Fenren.
Someone who lived like a king wouldn't have much tolerance for an insulting joke like that. Besides, Karyot had his energy suppressed, and they didn't reveal their true power as they kept their cultivation suppressed. On the other hand, he was from Planet Earth, where insults like that were more common than raising one's fist. He had complete resistance to those unless he didn't want to ignore such an insult.
"Haha, sorry about that. I got ahead of myself, knowing that a powerful person's mother would've tasted much more delicacies than what my measly restaurants could possibly provide."
Fenren sat up and rubbed his head, looking like a fool.
He was pretty beaten up and suppressed for a long time in the execution chamber and had to take insults, so he felt like if he had been suppressed any longer, he would've died from spitting blood that he forgot these people were Saintess Lunaria's disciples.
They could end him in an instant. After all, they weren't even close or acquainted, to begin with.
"…" Karyot blinked. Something didn't feel right about that sentence.
He felt like these juniors definitely weren't paying any respects to him. Regardless, he didn't have a mother to escalate this matter, causing him to scoff and let them go this once.
On the other hand, Laphria Rinmei ran away secretly, thinking she caused this to happen when she meant it jokingly.
Davis also didn't know what to say by Fenren's utterance. He was walking on thin ice, but his friends definitely didn't fear death, so Davis couldn't do anything other than save them from peril. Nonetheless, he flicked his hand, changing the topic.
"Soaren and Andiron. I also have something to talk to you two about. Come closer."
Soaren and Andiron nodded. They walked closer before the four of them stood in a circle. A few seconds later, Soaren and Andiron revealed a shocked expression, disbelief clear in their gazes.
"…"
Saintess Lunaria's brows narrowed. What was he planning on doing for them to be so shocked about it?
"You sure you can allow our bloodline to leap to the level of Great Saint Magical Beasts?" Soaren asked, his gaze solemn.
Davis shook his head, "Preferably, I want to experiment on the three of you far enough that the level of Great Saint Magical Beasts will become ghosts of the past."
"…"
This time, even Fenren couldn't hide his shuddering.
Surpassing the bloodline of Great Saint Magical Beasts?
Was that even possible at this time and age?
They hadn't heard of any such beasts here, which meant they could only be seen in Greater Realms, and that too very rarely. How could Davis utter it so easily for them to reach such a level?
"I'm in. Use me as you please." Andiron was the first one to join.
The three of them were shocked, thinking he would hold onto the identity of the Obsidian Crystal Turtle the most since he had the mission of saving the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan, but it seemed like he put that on the back burner for him to be able to lose his identity.
After all, for magical beasts like them, racial identity or even the sub-species identity was everything. Without that, they wouldn't even feel the closeness but look down or look up to inferior and superior races.
Soaren clenched his teeth, "Becoming a Divergent isn't a problem since we tied ourselves with you. In fact, I want to be a Divergent so what those bastards keep uttering will become true, and I can kill them to my heart's content."
"…"
Davis blinked. His brother Soaren seemed like he was past the tipping point, but he could understand that, considering he, too, was almost past the tipping point as they were about to be executed.
Fenren patted Soaren's shoulder, "Don't worry, brother. Don't lose your original heart and rely on us; we're all in this together."
He returned his gaze to Davis and smiled, "So when can you work your miracles on us?"
Davis couldn't help but reveal a wry gaze.
Miracles? His brothers were going to be in a world of hurt since he wasn't going to be using Fallen Heaven.
