Chapter 4605: Chilling For A Day
Davis’s mind was in slight turmoil, but after some time, he managed to fall asleep without much trouble.
He woke up two hours later and saw that no one was around. As for his security, there was Nadia inside him, so he didn’t worry.
Just as he sat up, a voice echoed inside his head.
"Master, if your soul feels encumbered, wouldn’t it be better if I aid in supporting your soul using mine?"
"It wouldn’t work." Davis quickly shot her idea down, "I agree you would be able to form a few pillars to support my soul. Our souls are also compatible. However, it isn’t enough since it’s Primarch Grade we’re talking about."
"But Master, don’t you remember that I was able to host the power of the Divine Nether Totem in the Nether Dimension and become as powerful as a Peak Exalt Beast as a mere Immortal Emperor Beast?"
Davis smilingly shook his head, "A lot of factors came together for that to happen, and everything there was compatible, from the corpses and souls powering the totem to your nether-death attributed soul and body. Unfortunately, the Eternal Eclipse Bird is darkness-attributed and not nether-death attributed. It wouldn’t fit in this arrangement. Worse, the backlash would injure our souls greatly."
"I see... then don’t push yourself hard."
Davis smiled and nodded.
He considered what he should do while waiting for Niera.
He stood up and went to crack some ice and make some refreshments. Although the atmosphere was hot, it gave warmth instead of irritation. At this moment, he guessed that a chill juice coursing through the throat and spreading throughout the body would feel fantastic.
He randomly took a good-tasting Low-Level Empyrean Grade Treasure, a blood-attributed fruit that would sell for plenty of Transcendent Crystals. He sliced it into pieces before using various other ingredients and created something anew. The cocktail he created was a blend of litchi-flavored with indescribable other flavors.
Taking a sip on a classical wine glass, he instantly guessed its effects gave immense vitality. If he had used the main ingredient for concocting a pill, he knew the effect would be even more magical.
"Hmm, delicious~"
Davis commented, and a curious Nadia jumped out from his soul, also having a taste.
Seeing Nadia drink with relish, he revealed a satisfied smile before going back to the kitchen again to make a few more dishes for her.
He moved with a calm gait, his hands steady as he pulled out the Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon Meat, freshly harvested from Barakiel a few days ago. The rich, primal aroma of the meat escaped the moment he lifted the thin layer of preservation seal he used, which was made from spirit formation.
Instantly, the wooden house was filled with an intoxicating raw scent that made Nadia nearly drool. Her ears twitched in anticipation, causing her to follow Davis and look at his skills.
First, he sliced a prime section of the meat and began stir-frying it over intense ordinary flames, letting the natural essence of the dragon meat fuse with a mix of rare spices that heightened its latent vitality. The sizzling sound echoed like paradise, sending waves of hunger through Nadia, who had perched nearby, practically bouncing on her feet.
Then, he turned to another slab, slow-smoking it with a blend of the parasol wood that was stored in the kitchen. It could be seen that Shirley and the others also enjoyed cooking. Soon, the fragrant smoke curled around the meat, imbuing it with a subtle complexity that only time and patience could achieve.
Lastly, he took thin slices of the most tender parts and wrapped them carefully with crisp, high-grade vegetables that he took from his garden in his life ring, their natural essence harmonizing with the dragon meat’s profound vitality.
Each wrap gleamed with a sheen of energy, like a jewel of strength waiting to be devoured.
He barely placed them on a giant plate and brought it over to the table, placing it neatly.
At that moment, Nadia transformed.
A black-crimson light flashed, and a night-crimson-robed woman sat on the chair with a faint golden luster in her eyes. Her looks were majestic and exquisite, accentuated by the crimson-purple hair that shone like a blood moon with a melancholic aura.
Davis was momentarily taken aback as it had really a long time since Nadia showed him this form. She didn’t choose to appear as human since it would only increase his ’appetite’, but now, she had taken a human form like a crimson moon goddess of death.
Her terrific beauty aside, she was a glutton through and through.
She was still drooling while her eyes shone with a devouring luster, making Davis chuckle before he gestured for her to dig in.
"Mhm~ Yummy~"
Nadia’s lips moved as she ate with relish.
"I’m glad you like it."
Davis watched for a while before he returned to the kitchen. He made more portions since he was already cooking and even diversified the dishes by adding a few more variety of beasts such as the Wraith Stream Longfish whose meat was practically soft and heavenly that one wouldn’t know that it even entered one’s mouth and the Raging Bull Lobster whose meat was juicy and innately spicy, making for a contrasting dish since the former was sweet.
Nadia sat in her seat, shaking her body left and right like a child as she waited.
"Hoho~ What’s this? I smell something good?"
Shirley’s voice echoed as she pushed open the door and entered, her eyes searching for Davis.
Soon, the beauties returned, and Davis made them sit and served, making them quite fidgety. His wives aside, who felt honored, the others didn’t know if they should feel honored or be scared.
For Dewzai, it felt like he was serving them the last supper, but obviously, looking at how excited everyone was, she knew that it wasn’t the case.
Davis also joined at the end, making for a prime feast.
Tia, Isabella, and Shirley were full of praise for him, and Davis especially had Nadia’s doppelganger deliver a few portions to Myria and Freya.
Flamerose and Frostrose also praised, during which time their gazes were awkward.
Davis could only exchange a profound glance at them. Even though there were a few things weighing on his mind, he didn’t mind or make any mention of the incident a while ago. He wanted peace and to see the smiling faces of his wives while he immersed himself in their melodious laughter.
Naturally, Dewzai was shocked at the King-Tier Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon being served like a platter.
Even if they had the power to hunt one, would they dare? It risked offending a big power behind it.
She inwardly shook her head, feeling like the Divine Emperor of Death would be the only one brave enough to do something like that. If things went awry, then it could even light up the flames of war between the two galaxies!
There was no way for a youth to take responsibility other than to go to the battlefield.
Fortunately, this wasn’t peacetime, so it wouldn’t result in punishment, but still, who in their right mind would kill a King-Tier Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon? It had the potential to become a True Dragon!? No!? Still, whoever killed it was courting death!
"He’s not dead yet. Just chilling in my life ring." Davis answered with a chuckle once the question was brought up by Dewzai.
"!@#$%^&" Barakiel, who was made to specifically hear that within the life ring that wanted to curse.
"..." Dewzai went speechless, further hearing that they practically squeezed him and used the blood essence to improve Celestia, the daughter of Isabella’s bloodline.
"In the next gathering, I’ll try to obtain the blood essence of the Prismatic Soul Phoenix for my Eterna." Shirley echoed, "Surely, they will give some freebies just to have a chance to talk to me so that they could reach Lea, right?"
"Pfft~" Everyone laughed at Shirley’s exploitative methods.
However, they felt it was fine since they couldn’t put it past the Divine Phoenix Galaxy to be non-exploitative. It was unknown what they would do with an Anarchic Divergent’s wife.
"Can a King-Tier Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon become a True Dragon? Would their King-Tier factor allow them to evolve into a True Dragon?" Dewzai couldn’t help but ask.
