Chapter 2781 Starlight Jade Wolf King

'It can't be...'

Davis thought there was no way that the Starlight Jade Wolf King would be asking about Panqa and Lanqua, causing him to smile lightly.

"I think the Cyan Soul Rat Clan is going to challenge us next."

"I see, but that wasn't what I meant."

"…"

Davis inwardly grumbled. The Starlight Jade Wolf King couldn't be serious right? After all, it hasn't been even a while since they met!

"The twins are indeed powerful as their prowess reached four levels higher in all three cultivations, essentially allowing them to leap a level more if they could sacrifice their blood essence or combine their powers due to their compatibility. In other words, they could reach Level Two Immortal King Stage in prowess even without having to use their blood essence, which leaves them far more worthy than they are seen individually. Seen as one, they are practically heavenly geniuses."

Davis gave a detailed explanation as though praising them to the heavens, his voice partly laced with admiration and partly laced with expectations as though he expected more from them.

The Starlight Jade Wolf King put down the cup, hick upped, and turned to look at Mo Tian with an unamused expression.

"I asked if you liked them or not. Why are you acting like you're not cunning? Judging by how you walked into this place, you must either have a death wish or wish to rely upon someone to protect you, in which case, I'm offering you an option."

'Does the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan only know of alliance through marriage…?'

Davis's lips twitched as he kept his smile. First, Everlight's guardian offered her, and now, it was these twins?

However, he had to admit that marriages were strong bonds in the cultivation world that not only tied families but also powers, at least for a few generations.

Why? Because getting a divorce would usually mean one of them would die, punished by the power lording over them for betrayal unless it was done for the right reasons.

Sometimes, the option for divorce wasn't even available, making it so that the only way to get out was to kill the other party and offend that entire power. These causes made marriages almost an iron-clad solution for bringing in new, strong, and powerful blood. It was the first, if not the best one, among many ways to obtain allies.

Davis guessed since the other powers were starting to separate him from the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, the Starlight Jade Wolf King went on the aggressive, openly asking what he thought about the twins.

Since the Starlight Jade Wolf King was blunt about it, Davis also no longer played around, his smile receding.

"I have to say. They're the kind of women I might like, but I don't know them, nor am I interested in forming an intimate relationship with others at this moment. If I were to ever want them and they are still available, then I might depend on my own skills instead of relying on your graces, Starlight Jade Wolf King."

"Heh~ You are indeed arrogant." The Starlight Jade Wolf King's shoulders shook as he chuckled, "But I like the challenge. If you think you can take them away from the clan, you're free to act as you please."

"No, thank you."

"Ai~" The Starlight Jade Wolf Emperor casually placed a hand around Mo Tian's shoulders and leaned, "Don't be so distant. We're all one family, so-"

"One family…?" Davis's brows twitched as he glared at the other party, "Do you believe that I'm not an Anarchic Divergent?"

At this moment, the Starlight Jade Wolf King's smile faded.





"Even if you are, I don't care."

"…"

For a second, Davis's mind stopped moving, unable to understand what the Starlight Jade Wolf King thought, causing him to blink and be straightforward.

"Why are you different from the other people? I also heard you wanted to ally with a Divergent who's now dead?"

However, he used soul transmission to keep matters private.

"Hmm." The Starlight Jade Wolf King didn't shy away from the conversation and actually gave a nod of confirmation, "You have heard about the Aurora Cloud Gate, right?"

Davis almost said that he knew along the flow but pursed his lips and appeared hesitant, "Well, I seem to recall a bit… that they're a secluded power who rarely interferes in the outside world..."

"Indeed. In the ancient texts of our Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, it is said that when we were on the brink of extinction one era millenniums ago, there descended an immortal fairy, a deity, a goddess. She was called through many honorifics, but no amount of honorifics was enough to represent her stature. Such a being caused our foe, the Cyan Soul Rat Clan, and a few other clans to give up the pursuit of our destruction with a single word, all because it was what the fox beside her wished for. And that fox was known as our eternal benefactor."

"A woman and a fox…?" Davis blinked.

"Yes, that fox was recorded to be a Nine Lives Gracious Fox. Now, I have been fantasizing about that Nine Lives Gracious Fox from a very young age, wondering if she had ascended and most likely did, but a few more ancient texts I found from other powers state that this goddess and the fox also belonged to a certain power."

"That is… the Aurora Cloud Gate…?" Davis blinked thrice.

"Indeed." The Starlight Jade Wolf King seemed delighted, "You catch on very quickly, and I investigated a few more ancient records about that power and learned that they have been… protecting Divergents from time immemorial!"

"…!" Davis appeared shocked.

But in reality, he calmly wondered where this conversation was going as it could have many opportunities to expose him.

Perhaps, the Starlight Jade Wolf King knew who he was and was just playing with him?

He couldn't tell as the other party looked away, seemingly wanting to hide his emotions.

"And that is very recently proved as the Aurora Cloud Gate did indeed protect the Emperor of Death even though he was being persecuted and looked down upon by most powers."

The Starlight Jade Wolf King continued without a stop, "From this, I can understand that the problem isn't Divergents. Surely, that goddess and fox must've been powerful immortals, so for them to protect Divergents, I have understood that Divergents are something else than what the world perceives them to be. Although it's obvious that they are persecuted by the heavens, I believe they do not bring misfortune but are capable of twisting the fabric of fate, and depending on their characteristics, just like any other being, they bring fortune or misfortune."

"Therefore, my only question to you is..."

Abruptly, the Starlight Jade Wolf King turned to look at him, his golden pupils appearing to flash with a warning, "Are you someone who wishes good onto others like the Emperor of Death who saved the Grand Beginnings Continent while almost forsaking his life by battling tens and thousands of Vacuous Beast, including an Immortal King Vacuous Beast while just being a mortal?"

"…"
