Divine Emperor of Death

Upon learning this fact, Kara felt complicated and confused from the bottom of her heart.

Normally, if she had met this man while her family was still alive and her kingdom in good straits, it was entirely possible that she would’ve fallen for him.

But when she thought of settling down right now, her eyes flashed with vengeance and hatred.

To her, there was still the matter of revenge, so the next moment, she threw away her womanly thoughts and turned behind to leave.

But, instantly her footsteps halted as if she was waiting for something. She found it difficult to take the next step.

That was when the man promptly invited her back into the mansion as a guest.

Unbeknownst to her, she found herself accepting his invitation and following around this man during these years, and now, even to this place.

"... Kara, are you fine?"

Kara was startled as she heard his voice. She returned to her senses and nodded.

The man smiled slightly and went inside the tent but a head popped out, "Not coming inside?"

Kara’s lips curved up as she stepped inside the tent. The two found a comfortable surface and sat, facing each other.

Kara looked at him as she once again thought back to these two years.

After he invited her into his mansion as a guest, contrary to her expectations he surprisingly didn’t make a move on her.

After all, if a possessor of the Exquisite Nine Yang Body and the possessor of the Exquisite Nine Yin Body were to dual cultivate, their speed at cultivation would increase tremendously.

This kind of speed although it could not compare to Davis’s Soul Forging Cultivation using Fallen Heaven when compared with a normal cultivation method, is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Even in the duration of 2 years, the number of times they conversed could be counted with two hands.

But the duration of the conversation they had could be said to be as long while they discussed various topics.

Other than that, she spent the remaining time, bent on cultivating for the sake of getting revenge but didn’t deceive him with her body, after all, dual cultivating with him was also a way to get stronger.

Unfortunately, she was no loose woman and didn’t want to tangle with her loved one with a thought process like that and it ultimately led her to train using her own strength and hard work.

Even after 2 years had passed, there was still no improvement in the relationship between the two of them.

She felt hesitant to mention her complicated feelings or even her past and he didn’t make any moves on her either, leading to a deadlocked situation.

Three months ago was when she voluntarily said that she will also join with him in a training expedition.

It was the time she suddenly became impulsive and took the initiative to follow him when she heard that he would go train in the Tyrannical Ape Mountains for a long time.

Whatever the reason may be at that time for her careless decision, it didn’t matter to her any longer as these three months... She felt that it was the happiest time in her life after the tragedy that had befallen her and her family.

Traveling together, walking together, conversing with each other. It was truly a bliss compared to the time she spent in the mansion.

She got to know him more and even got to find out that he was not the reserved type she initially thought him to be but it was just his respect for her.

She even forgot how many times she smiled while being together with him.

"What are you smiling at?" The man asked with a confused expression in his face.

Kara came back from her reverie and blinked while she had a smile on her face.

"Why are you spacing out for no reason? It’s the second time under a minute.." The man had a worried expression on his face, "Is something wrong?"

Kara turned gloomy when she heard him.

’Wrong? Everything is wrong!’ She shouted in her heart but put her head down. She herself knew that she was being unfair in terms of sincerity but the matters of the heart could only be taken slowly, or that was at least she thought.

Raising her head she said, "I remembered that I haven’t thanked you for saving me from that underground auction."

"Haha, don’t mention it. Although the methods I used to bring you out from that place were unscrupulous, I assure you that I have done nothing that goes against my conscience!"

"Mhm, I know..." Kara gently nodded, "I remembered that I didn’t feel grateful and even ran away after you unsealed my cultivation..."

The man’s expression turned awkward after hearing that. He let out a wry laugh, "Hehe, It’s natural to feel threatened when powerless and have an urge to escape when you have the means to..."

"So you do recognize that you had the power to make me submit at that time when I was powerless..." Kara smiled ambiguously as a faint blushed formed on her cheeks.

The man was startled but just dryly laughed as he avoided her gaze.

"Drake..." Kara called out his name, "Do you know why I rejected all your advances?"

Drake turned to face Kara, his eyes filled with curiosity and expectation.

Was she going to reveal her past?

Just when he was about to say something, he heard a sound that hit against the barrier erected by the defensive formation.

He quickly activated his Soul Sense and ran out of the tent to see nothing but a book lying outside the defensive formation.

Narrowing his eyes, he looked and sensed around with his Soul Sense but found nothing.

Kara quickly came out and surveyed the surroundings, "What happened?"

Right now, she was pissed off. She was damn right in the middle of something significant for heaven’s sake.

"Someone is trying to lure me out of the defensive formation..." Drake replied, causing Kara to turn serious.

"Can I know who is the guest currently inviting me to come out of the defensive formation?" Drake shouted in a sarcastic voice.

They both pricked up their ears and senses but didn’t seem to detect anything.

"Could it be they have just left it here and escaped?" Kara asked with a voice transmission and glanced at the book.

"That book is something I wrote during my youth to gain wealth. They could’ve possibly left a message in that book..."

"Oh..." Kara replied as she blinked. It was her first time hearing that Drake had dabbed in literature.

"But the problem is, only the person who helped me sell the books know my identity as the author of this book..."

"Maybe that person has betrayed you?"

"Probably, if not..." Drake didn’t say it out loud but thought as he narrowed his eyes, ’Someone like me...’
