Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1205 Trading With Jade Sua

”Yes, Jade...” Drake answered as he eyed Davis to talk.

Davis chuckled before he gestured, ”My name is Davis. Drake, Kara, and core disciple Jade Sua, please take a seat.”

Three more circular cushions appeared in front of him, creating a four-point circle. Jade Sua cast a glance at Drake, and seeing him nod his head; she blinked her beautiful virid eyes before she walked and directly sat opposite Davis as the main party of the trade that was going to begin.

Drake and Kara sat opposite each other.

They were all facing each other in a circle.

Davis summoned a table before him, and four small cups appeared. He poured pre-prepared tea for all of them before he smiled, ”Well, Iʼm not versed at entertaining, so letʼs get down to business.”

”Itʼs fine...” Jade Sua spoke, her melodious voice echoing, ”Drake said that you could help me break through to the Martial Sage Stage. I believe Drake, but I donʼt know about you... If it is possible, I would like to know your background as a start.”

Davis blinked, thinking that she rather sounded courteous.

While he looked at her, he also saw that she had an hourglass figure, not at all inferior to Kara, perhaps even more attractive as her bust seemed to ninety-nine centimeters, only a few centimeters lesser than Evelynnʼs, whose bust was a massive hundred and six centimeters.

ʼNo wonder Drake and many others fell for her...ʼ He inwardly lampooned before he shook his head.

”It isnʼt that ʼI wonʼtʼ, but it is ʼI canʼtʼ due to some circumstances. Nevertheless, you donʼt need to believe me. It will do if you believe Drake because I wonʼt betray my friends.”

Davis took his cup of tea and drank a sip as it entered his body, feeling it dissolved by his soul force instead.

Jade Suaʼs lovely eyes narrowed before she simply nodded her head, ”I heard that you need the Forsaken Yin Lotus for a reason, and it seems that Drake already informed you of my wants. What do you propose we trade in exchange?”

”Oh? Can you obtain the Forsaken Yin Lotus? Do you have two million lotus points with you?” Davis purposefully asked in a suspecting tone.

Jade Sua didnʼt seem to be offended at all as not even her brows squinted. Instead, she raised her hand, and a token plate with lotuses twirling around on a lily-pad cushion carved on it appeared.

A number simultaneously came up like a projection.

[1,952,890]

Davisʼs lips twitched. She could indeed obtain the Forsaken Yin Lotus, but it was not enough as it seemed that she lacked around fifty thousand lotus points.

Seemingly noticing his expression, Jade Sua lightly smiled, her expression hidden yet slightly noticeable under the semi-transparent veil.

”If you had contacted me through Drake earlier, I had more than three million points, but I bought a Low-Level Emperor Grade Invigorating Sage Tempering Pill, causing me to spend more than a million points. However, as you might know, my breakthrough ended up in failure.”

”Nevertheless, I just have to participate in a short mission, and I can get what you require without fail.”

She confidently uttered.

”Good...” Davis nodded his head as he relaxed.

He didnʼt know what this Invigorating Sage Tempering Pill is as his alchemy knowledge didnʼt reach Emperor Grade but could tell its use from its name and Jade Suaʼs need.

”But how much time would it take for you to complete this... ʼshortʼ mission?” He asked.

Jade Sua brows finally furrowed, ”Before that, can I hear what you have to offer in order for me to have a chance at entering Martial Sage Stage?”

”Alright...” Davis nodded his head but then shook, ”Have a chance? No, you are going to enter Martial Sage Stage without fail.”

Jade Suaʼs brows deeply furrowed, ”What do you mean...?”

”Do you understand that your words sound so... phony...?”

”Haha...” Davis laughed as he turned to look at Drake.

Drake smiled back as he nodded, telling him that she was certainly adorable with his eyes topaz eyes.

Indeed, the way she said it was funny than his phony words that Davis couldnʼt help but smile, ”Then Iʼll let you see for yourself.”

Davis waved his hand, and a common water canteen appeared on the table between them. Except for Jade Sua, Drake and Kara were already sipping the tea. When all three of them saw the canteen appear, a confused smile appeared on their faces.

”What is this...?” Jade Sua asked, her tone sounding confused.

Just now, didnʼt he say that he was good at entertaining? Why did he take out a canteen? She felt that it certainly couldnʼt be spirit water, so it could only be wine.

Davis gestured at Drake as he looked at Jade Sua with amusement, ”The same thing I gave to him before...”

*Pfftt!~*

Drake spat out the tea he sipped to the side before he looked at Davis. He thought it was tea at first, but when he heard the word ʼbeforeʼ, he couldnʼt believe his ears.

”Dude, ʼthatʼ works for entering Martial Sage Stage too...?”

His eyes were wide, filled with disbelief as he leaned towards the front. Kara possessed the same expression on her face as she kept the tea back on the table as if readying herself to attentively listen.

”I never said it didnʼt...” Davis chuckled, ”Except, it wouldnʼt do anything in low quantities at that stage.”

Drake lowered his head as he straightened his back. Just a moment before, he felt immense regret for using the nectar at low stages, but fortunately, it turned out what he used wasnʼt a waste. It seemed like it required plenty to enter the Martial Sage Stage.

”Drake...?”

Jade Sua echoed in hesitation. Looking at Kara and him become filled with profound emotion, she couldnʼt help but feel that this was odd. Why did they look like they believed Davisʼs words?

Drake looked at Jade Sua as his eyes blinked before he spoke, ”Kara, letʼs show her...”

”Alright...”

Karaʼs voice resounded out before an icy wave of air began to descend the room. At the same time, hot air blazed around them, clashing with the icy air before they balanced each other out. Martial energy surged out like a tide from her and Drake, causing Jade Sua to widen her viridian eyes in shock.

”You... You two both broke through to Martial Ascendance Stage!?”

Drake and Kara both nodded their heads with satisfied smiles on their faces.

”But how...? Didnʼt you two just both breakthrough to the Peak-Level Gold Stage in the core disciple trials...?” Jade Sua still appeared shocked.

She was also there, so she knew about their cultivation progress. A long time hasnʼt passed, neither could it be said as short, but she knew that it certainly wasnʼt enough to enter the Martial Ascendance Stage, the Sixth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation!

”Jade, believe me when I say that this breakthrough was possible because of this...” Drake pointed with his finger.

Jade Sua followed her gaze to the direction he pointed as her gaze rested on the water canteen. Her expression appeared to be dubious before she cast a look at Davis.

”Go on...” Davis raised his brows while having a teasing smile.

Jade Sua frowned but believing in Drake; she took a light breath as her bosoms heaved before reaching out her hand towards the water canteen. The lid came off, and a potent aura popped right on her face, causing her eyes to go wide.

Drake nodded his head in recognition as he commented.

”And I know this sounds phony as well, Jade, but I only consumed ten milliliters of it...”

”Me too...” Kara agreed from the side.

She had used ten milliliters of the hundred milliliters they had obtained from Davis, so she knew that this water canteen held that nectar, and feeling the energy it gave off, it was totally different from the time she held that small vial in her hand.

”This... This will help me a breakthrough in Martial Sage Stage...?” Although Jade Suaʼs mouth asked a question, her expression looked as if she was already starting to believe this ʼsuspiciousʼ water canteen.

”Yes!” Drake affirmed once again, ”Not only did it allow us to have a smooth and painless breakthrough, it didnʼt have any side-effects whatsoever. Itʼs like a heavenly resource!”

He believed that Davis would not lie to him, and so didnʼt hesitate to vouch. Besides, the potent aura coming off from the nectar was quite obvious.

Davis flicked his finger, and the undone lid was put back on before he smiled, ”Well, youʼve seen the item weʼre going to exchange, so I hope that you can get me the Forsaken Yin Lotus.”

Jade Sua did not seem to react. Her eyes were still on the table, but she seemed to have descended into contemplation.

ʼNectar...? Heavenly resource...? I think Iʼve heard of this before...ʼ

Her eyes widened as she raised her head and stared at the nectarʼs owner, her viridian pupils dilating.

”Wait... What did you say was your name...?”

Davisʼs brows furrowed. However, the next moment, his expression turned into an amused smile, ”So you managed to figure out where I came from...”

Drake and Kara were stunned as they looked at Jade Sua and Davis. It seemed as if the atmosphere abruptly became intense.

”You are... the Alstreim Family Territoryʼs... Dragon Queenʼs subordinate, arenʼt you...? Alchemist Davis...”

”Seriously, that Dragon Queen!?”

”What Dragon Queen?”

Drake and Kara uttered while the latter gave the former a wide eye.

”Miss Jade Sua,” Davisʼs voice resounded with a solemn tone, ”It seems you like poking into other peopleʼs background...?”

”I apologize! I didnʼt mean to...”

Jade Suaʼs voice became apologetic as she realized that her conduct was rude, ”Itʼs just...”

”I know...” Davis sighed, ”But since you already revealed it, I see no use in concealing it anymore. But regardless, I want you all to swear that you wonʼt tell where I came from to others other than Drakeʼs wives.”

”Sure, man. You can count on us...” Drake echoed.

Looking at Drake, Jade Sua nodded her head. They then collectively swore in front of him, causing Davis to smile again.

”Iʼm sure that Jade Sua will explain about me later to you two, so weʼll return to our business.” Davis nodded his head, bringing the conversation to his pace.

”The thing is, you can have this liter of nectar right now to break through to Martial Sage Stage...”

”What!?” Jade Sua echoed with disbelief.

”Do you understand how valuable this is!? Itʼs the Million Emerald Vines Calamityʼs Nectar, and youʼre saying that youʼre giving it to me without any kind of trade or assurance!?” She went blank for a moment along with Drake and Kara before she screamed at him, her voice a bit suppressed.

”Trade?” Davis smiled, ”You still have to complete a mission or two to gain that many thousand lotus points. As for assurance, isnʼt there a common person between us like Drake?”

”He will take responsibility if you back out of the trade after receiving the goods...”

Davis turned to look at the man whose smile had frozen, ”Wonʼt you, Drake?”

Drake inwardly cried as he wondered why Davis would use him as a sacrifice, but when he saw Davisʼs imperceptible wink, he instantly understood.

He patted his chest with a confident expression on his face, ”I would do anything for my Jade, and more than that, I deeply believe that she would not act like a robber and not return what she promised.”

Jade Sua went blank before her expression began to tremble.

”Drake...” Moisture welled up in her eyes while her voice echoed out as she silently muttered, ”Thank you...”

She became greatly moved.

Vouching on behalf of her for a resource like this nectar was like weighing their heads on a concealed guillotine, unaware that a powerful entity might appear from nowhere and behead them in an instant. After all, who was the Dragon Queen?

No one knew, but it was rumored that she had a grand background, possibly powerful than any one of them can compare.

Jade Suaʼs body shook as she turned to look at Davis, ”I donʼt want to put Drakeʼs life in danger. This is a trade between us, so Iʼll take responsibility and swear that I wonʼt tell this anyone. Thatʼs why, please grant me some time so I can exchange the Forsaken Yin Lotus for this nectar!”

”Oh...?”

Davis raised his brows as his voice sounded taken aback amidst Drakeʼs dumbfounded gaze!
