Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1337 Sect Master Lea Weiss

"Why is the Sect Master here so soon...?"

Shirley uttered with a bit of incredulity.

"Of course, you hired me, a protector." Davis lightly shrugged, "I am an unknown cultivator in her field, so naturally, the queen would come to check what’s going on in the board she has free reign over because she has presumably become uneasy..."

Shirley nodded her head, but she thought this event would come to a realization at least half a day later. However, to think that not even ten minutes had passed before the Sect Master already made her visit...

Did Grand Elder Claus Strom and Grand Elder Newgate Stein inform her? Or was it a coincidence?

Shirley was a bit nervous about how to face the Sect Master as she felt that it was unlikely that they would be able to fool her. Even she wasn’t sure if she had managed to fool the Sect Master in the beginning, but fooling the Sect Master wasn’t her goal. It was to make her stay her hand, hesitate to lay a hand on her, making her think that she might be a golden egg to nurture.

Davis cranked his head as he looked around the narrow hallway. He looked at the main hall in the distance and moved towards that place while Shirley followed suit. At the same time, they stepped into the main hall, a figure came into view from the same pathway that they came from.

A deep blood-red robe and a crimson veil draped on her magnificent figure and adorned her face, only revealing her crimson pupils that shone with a bit of calmness and indifference. Her eyelashes and brows, along with her long hair, were all crimson in color, making her look sexy and fiery as Shirley. However, her curves on both sides were big, adding an additional charm that many men would fail to take their eyes off on first look and keep staring in rudeness.

She was slowly floating towards them once she saw them, her two long legs floating in the air as she majestically descended towards them. However, her two feet paired with lovely high heels didn’t touch the carpeted surface as she merely hovered, maintaining a distance of two meters from the three of them.

Her crimson pupils stared at Davis for two or three seconds before it fell on Shirley as a melodious voice that would melt numerous men echoed.

"To think that you hired a protector without even consulting me first..."

She shook her head as a crimson light slightly shone in her eyes.

"Explain yourself, Shirley..."

Shirley’s heart clenched a bit, "I..."

"To intimidate one’s own disciple using seniority..." Davis’s voice suddenly resounded.

"What kind of Sect Master are you, Sect Master Lea Weiss?"

"Intimidate...?" Sect Master Lea Weiss slightly narrowed her eyes as she gazed at Davis.

"It is not like you don’t know that she just tore my face apart. Hiring a private protector while she is in my care is a direct slap to my face! It is as good as telling the world that I was unable to protect her."

Davis inwardly grumbled at this another face-lover. Was all Burning Phoenix Ridge people like this? Their individual face and sect’s reputation were their everything?

At the same time, a soul transmission fell on Shirley’s mind.

"Shirley, are you insane? You brought a man with an unknown background to your house to protect yourself? It is not like you don’t know the immense value you hold in yourself! What would happen if this man assaulted you in the name of protecting? For the same reason, I didn’t allow any men, including Grand Elders, to enter your crimson palace to protect you and made them stay outside, but you, on the other hand...!"

The Sect Master’s voice resounded in her mind angrily, with also a bit of disappointment that Shirley didn’t know what to say all of a sudden.

Was the Sect Master really looking after her or not? She still could not see through!

"I won’t deny that the sect rules allow a top disciple to hire protectors for themselves because top disciples are that important to us. We don’t even know your background, and yet you want to be our uppermost top disciple’s protector? Don’t you think that you’re pretentious? Who gave you the gall to trick her using sweet words?"

Sect Master Lea Weiss returned her gaze upon berating Davis.

"Shirley, relieve him of his position right now and have him leave the Burning Phoenix Ridge. If you do, I’ll take it as if this matter never happened."

Davis looked at this voluptuous Sect Master run her mouth, although her fiery lips were hidden by her crimson veil, and even though her melodious and crispy voice was exceptional to hear like music, he had enough of it.

"Why does it matter where I come from when Shirley trusts me more than any of you, even you Sect Master. Isn’t that right, Shirley?

However, since it looked like she didn’t come to strut her powers off and provoke as her undulations were rather calm, he didn’t become rude either.

"Yes, Sect Master. I trust Elder Chu Feng more than I trust anyone of you. This, I can swear that Elder Chu Feng won’t harm me!"

"How naive...!"

The Sect Master’s crimson eyes widened with a bit of anger as she stared at Shirley, "How can you be so gullible, Shirley!?

"Unless you tell me what makes you so trustful that this Elder Chu Feng won’t harm you, I’m not going to let this matter come to a rest. Not only are you endangering yourself, but you are endangering the entire Burning Phoenix Ridge by bringing in a Soul King whose prowess is at the High-Level King Soul Stage by giving him the privileges of a protector!"

Both Shirley and Davis became flabbergasted as the latter felt like he couldn’t understand this Sect Master’s intent. He wouldn’t be able to use Heart Intent as the chances of getting caught were more as he heard that the Sect Master Lea Weiss was a High-Level King Soul Stage Expert!

Therefore, he couldn’t understand if Sect Master Lea Weiss wished to truly protect Shirley or isolate her for her own purposes.

"Uhm... Sect Master, Elder Chu Feng is... in his soul body..."

Sect Master Lea Weiss’s head jerked as he looked visibly taken aback at Shirley’s words before she looked at Davis, sizing him up again.

"S-Soul body...?"

She uttered in confusion while Davis’s brows frowned a little, wondering why Shirley revealed it.

Had she already planning something?

"Yes..." Shirley nodded her head with conviction, "That’s why, although I think Elder Chu Feng can attack my soul, I don’t think he can assault me physically. What can a soul-body do to my chastity? Nothing unless Elder Chu Feng wants to just waste it... However, nothing would happen like that as I know and trust Elder Chu Feng personally!"

Shirley spoke with heartfelt words that seemed convincing, while Davis and Sect Master Lea Weiss became flabbergasted. Davis even saw that Sect Master Lea Weiss trembled a bit, almost looking as if she slightly blushed from hearing Shirley’s crass words as her crimson brows trembled ever so lightly.

Nevertheless, to clear up Sect Master’s doubt, he became transparent before returning to a corporeal state, causing Sect Master to believe that this Elder Chu Feng was really in a soul body. She didn’t even realize it, making her rather embarrassed.

However, she became unable to say anything against Elder Chu Feng as Shirley’s words became true. Unless this Elder Chu Feng wanted to simply waste Shirley’s primal yin essence, it was unlikely that he would touch or harm her.

"You imbued your soul essence in this soul body to make it stronger?"

Davis nodded, "It could be considered so..."

"Are you from the Soul Palace?"

Sect Master Lea Weiss’s brows furrowed.

"Perhaps..." Davis answered as he shrugged, "I don’t want to reveal my background as I’m rather prepared to kill whoever makes a move against Shirley. Shouldn’t you be the same? Or so I think from your previous actions, Sect Master Lea Weiss."

With a frown on her brows, Sect Master Lea Weiss replied, "Fine, you can be her protector. However, I’m still keeping an eye on you."

"Shirley, you don’t mind if I assign one Grand Elder here to protect you now that you have a protector for yourself, right?" She asked as her eyes flashed with an odd intent that wouldn’t take no for an answer.

’Suspicious of me, or does she still wants to control Shirley...?’

Davis smiled before he nodded, "I can protect Shirley against that Grand Elder, no problem."

"Alright, I accept..." Only then did Shirley answer with a wide smile on her face.

Sect Master Lea Weiss’s lips twitched as she heard their answers.

Protect against that Grand Elder? How could it be possible for a High-Level Soul King to kill a Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse while they also have King Soul Stage Cultivation?

Unless it was an assassination, an ambush, or a deadly preemptive strike, she really found it hard to believe this Elder Chu Feng’s words. How can it be so easy to kill a Ninth Stage Expert? Was he going to poison the Grand Elder during a battle to protect?

Ridiculous!

However, just how much trust Shirley had in this Elder Chu Feng to listen to each other but not her?

Sect Master Lea Weiss’s expression became a bit cold as she turned around and left.

"Do your best to make your name even more renowned in the battles tomorrow. I am rather looking forward to it."

Her melodious voice resounded, causing Davis to feel rather doubtful if it was over. That’s all she came for?

To see if Shirley was safe or still in her hold?

He saw the Sect Master’s back that disappeared from his gaze once she turned in the corridor.

Davis and Shirley stayed silent for a while before the teenage girl, who was silent all this time, hesitatingly uttered.

"Did that scary big sister leave...?"

Both Davis and Shirley cranked their heads to look at Freya, who had an anxious look on her face.
