Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 478 The Librarian’s Sigh

The black-robed woman took off her hood and nodded her head with an indifferent expression on her face.

Mo Mingzhi turned ecstatic but at the same time curbed her emotions from appearing in front of others. She calmed her body and mind before looking at the black-robed woman.

However, her lips were still curved in a smile.

"What is your name and what is your cultivation base at?"

The indifferent looking woman pursed her lips for a second as if she was unwilling to answer her question.

But the next second, she opened her mouth, "My name is Emine. My highest cultivation base is at Low-Level Body Transformation Stage! Fourth Stage of Essence Gathering Cultivation."

Mo Mingzhi who was lacking in knowledge did not know what Body Transformation Stage meant but when the other party mentioned that it was the Fourth Stage of Essence Gathering Cultivation, she was in disbelief!

She had expected the other party’s cultivation to be at Second Stage or the Third Stage but never did she expect her to be at the Fourth Stage!

’Such a person was assigned to protect me!?’

Mo Mingzhi couldn’t help but once again feel Tian Long’s affection deep in her heart. Her face almost melted in love but she coughed and maintained her appearance.

When she looked at the black-robed woman again, she could feel a type of condescending gaze. A gaze she was very familiar with these few months.

’An expression which gives of a sense of indifference but her eyes are directing a cold gaze at me...’

As an inspector who had to garner the expressions of many people to complete many cases, she didn’t find it difficult to figure out her hidden protector’s attitude towards her.

Nevertheless, she wasn’t surprised.

From the day she had arrived here, many have been viewing her with this kind of gaze; a gaze filled with scorn and disdain.

Even the maid who took care of her and had the most contact in these months despite locking herself up in her room had viewed her with an enormous amount of disdain.

But, she didn’t attach too much importance to their attitude and could even feel that they were looking at her with envy and jealousy.

She was aware of the reason they look at her like that though, because, she had introduced herself as Crown Prince Davis’s woman at that time with a few gestures and by repeatedly saying his title.

Because of it, although they looked at her in a negative light, they didn’t dare to shun her!

"I see, can I command you then?" Mo Mingzhi questioned.

Emine’s lips twitched but she still answered, "Yes, other than commanding me to do something that is over your limits."

With a slight pause, she added, "Other than that, your authority is not enough to dismiss me."

’Does that mean that she will even follow me to the bathroom or will still stand outside?’ She decided not to ask since the other party was also a woman and she didn’t bother much.

"Oh..." Mo Mingzhi nodded and asked with a hesitant expression on her face, "Can I meet D... his Highness, the Crown Prince now?"

Emine noticed her slight of words and was just about to berate her but then remembered that she was rumored to be Crown Prince’s woman.

Besides, she remembered the Crown Prince’s words when he instructed her to protect this woman known as Mo Mingzhi.

[Do not let her be bullied in the Royal Castle or the outside world.]

These words were undoubtedly from a man who does not want to let his woman suffer!

Her eyes twitched before she said "no", not bothering to explain anymore.

’How can his highness chose a woman like her?’ Emine felt indignant but as a maid who was then trained to be a hidden protector for the Crown Prince’s wife, she didn’t dare to reveal her complaints, nor did she feel like she had a status which could make her complain.

But even if she was a maid, she was still a cultivator and would still feel superior to a mortal!

Mo Mingzhi reacted as if she expected it and saw Emine disappear from her view.

’Hidden Protector?’ An imperceptible smile emerged on her lips.

She shook her head and her thoughts returned.

’Tian Long can even command a Fourth Stage Cultivator like that? Then that means his cultivation base should be rather high... Or...’

Mo Mingzhi felt constricted like there was an obstacle faced in front of her. However, since he was the Crown Prince, it could also be possible that he could command her with his status.

’In any case, I should look at the library to check up on ways to become powerful in the fastest way possible.’

Mo Mingzhi smiled as she changed her agenda.

Tian Long had already given her permission to enter the Royal Library.

Last time when she entered the Royal Library, she had chosen a Sky Grade Body Tempering Cultivation Manual with his help.

This time, she could also do the same since Tian Long had said that she could roam the Royal Castle as long as she doesn’t disturb the others.

’He even told me to go out and see the cultivation world after I had strengthened myself to the Third Stage...’

She smiled and walked in a random direction, berating herself that she forgot to ask directions from her hidden protector.

Nevertheless, when she walked randomly, she found a maid who cast a surprised yet derisive gaze at her. Then asking for some directions under the maid’s envious gaze, she left for the Royal Library.

She walked for more than ten minutes before she arrived at the Royal Library. It was not like she was not good with directions but the Royal Castle took over a huge space of land that required her to walk for a long time at a normal pace.

When she entered the Royal Library, she smiled at the librarian and the latter seemed to pause before indifferently nodding his head.

Mo Mingzhi didn’t look at his reaction anymore and started to browse the library.

Before Mo Mingzhi completely disappeared from the Librarian’s view, the latter seemed to sigh from exasperation and silently mutter, "What is happening here? First, it was that maid named Ellia... Now, there are two more mortals visiting the Royal Library with an unrestrained attitude?"

"Sigh..." Librarian Oxford couldn’t help but deeply sigh once again.

=======

As Mo Mingzhi browsed the Royal Library, she came across the relevant section and stretched her hands to take out the related books.

[Strengthening Oneself]

[The Three Cultivation Systems]

[Ways to Quickly Increase One’s Cultivation]

She took these three books from the bookshelf and sat on the spot.

The first book, Strengthening Oneself explained how a cultivator should increase his prowess in a rather systematic way.

Cultivate, Resonate, Battle...

’Constantly circulate the manual to and never give up one’s cultivation...’

’Resonate with the manuals and try to comprehend the words written as much as possible with deep meaning...’

’Battle with other people with intent to verify your cultivation...’

The instructions to strengthen oneself mostly revolved around these three keywords as it explained the intricacies involved.

The second book, The Three Cultivation Systems explained the stages from the First Stage to the Fourth Stage of all the cultivation systems in a rather detailed manner.

Mo Mingzhi took her time slowly reading the Sky Word Language inscribed on the book. It took her more time to interpret the Sky Word Language and to her, it seemed like more than reading it, she was deciphering like she was some philologist.
