Davis inwardly smiled before opening his mouth, "Tell me- is your favorite elder sister in that secret realm?"
"…" Young Master Ragoon still looked enraged.
"So she is…" Davis blinked before he shook his head, "That's not right. She isn't there but will come soon?"
"…!"
"I see." Davis nodded, understanding that she would come to the secret realm soon. Nonetheless, he continued to ask.
"Why do you care about your elder sister?
"Oh, you respect her? Why?"
"You admire her skills at negotiating and her dignified elegance? She also protected you from bullies when you were little?"
"Stop it!"
Young Master Ragoon roared, his expression turning into one of fear as he leaned back and growled, "Stop getting into my head! You monster!"
He was scared shitless at how the Divine Emperor of Death was accurately predicting his thoughts by just shuttling through his emotions. If this was the case, he wished that he had learned a powerful yet difficult soul technique that their high-quality merchants use to mask their soul fluctuations and also their emotions.
The Divine Emperor of Death wasn't the only Heart Intent user. As merchants, they needed to control their emotions and hide their intentions to make a profit, so they did indeed have an emotion masking technique that worked even against Heart Intent users. Still, it was very difficult to learn that only a minority among them had managed to comprehend it.
Even so, it would last no more than a few minutes, so the time wasted learning was not good for a young supreme genius like him. Therefore, he put it on the back burner, but now he wished he had learned it.
"Don't fret about it. Your regret at not learning a technique to defend yourself is useless since it might not work on my comprehension of Enigmatic Heart Laws that have reached Level Two Obscure Intent. One of my wives is extremely talented, you know. She devised a way to fool Heart Intent thoroughly, so I'm quite learned when it comes to detecting fake emotions."
Davis lightly smiled.
Young Master Ragoon trembled. Cold sweat ran down on his face. He felt like he was being stared at by an all-seeing devil who wouldn't let him escape no matter what.
"Mhm, now I'm curious. Does she look like this?"
Davis extended his hand, and his soul force surged out of his hand, colorless yet shapely as it manifested into a human figure. It was a woman with long hair, and her facial features were outlined along with her voluptuous body.
High, gentle cheekbones complemented a gracefully curved jawline. Her slender, arched brows formed an enchanting pair of almond-shaped eyes. A straight and delicate nose sat perfectly above her lips that curved at the corners, giving her the visage of a confident and alluring expression. Her overall beauty exuded poise that would come with the result of raking in achievement after achievement, full of confidence, and her bearing was one of cold elegance.
Davis blinked at this colorless, voluptuous figure draped in a colorless robe.
He couldn't tell if this was the person herself or just the image that Young Master Ragoon had of her.
After all, it was the manifestation made from his emotions.
Young Master Ragoon froze at the uncanny similarity of his elder sister with that image, while Mingzhi also had her jaws drop at the height of the usage of Enigmatic Heart Laws.
She was once again reminded that she hadn't reached his level yet in using Enigmatic Heart Laws even though they comprehended Level Two Obscure Intent. It made her wonder how far the gap was. Of course, if it was left to her, she was certainly capable of charming Young Master Ragoon with the fusion of Enigmatic Heart Laws and Charm Laws, causing him to lose himself to her and do her bidding.
She could also easily get his weakness out from him since their power difference was too high with her being in the Empyrean Stage.
However, she didn't want to do it since she was aware that it would make her an enchantress, and it wouldn't certainly be appreciated by her sisters or Davis himself, even if he was fine with it. She didn't want to use it unless it was for training or absolutely required.
In the past, she had only used it once when she was beside Davis when they saved Illumina in the Opulent Shell Company's auction house. She wanted to show him that she was also capable of making progress with Enigmatic Heart Laws in various ways. Therefore, she didn't feel the need to use it again unless she had no other choice.
"That's… Jiayi Ruo." Mingzhi took out a particular jade stone and checked, "Aged twenty-eight, a Level Nine Sovereign and also an heir to the True Peak Emporium, third in line. She's a Heavenly Sovereign, capable of battling six levels higher. Apparently, she is betrothed to the Ruo Family from the young age of twelve. However, her achievements delayed the marriage and now it's nearly in collapse, making the Ruo Family supreme genius a laughing stock."
"Oh?" Davis looked intrigued, "She sounds like a capable woman. Moreover, she also has a Chinese name."
"Well," Mingzhi shrugged, "Her mother has such a name and her father likes to play with all kinds of beauties from all over the realms, many unaccounted for. Therefore, their children appear to have different names but the same middle names, which are Jiayi Crystalveil Ruo and Ragoon Crystalveil. Apparently, it's because the Crystalveil Family doesn't want to compete with other families in naming, so when they marry off, they still get to keep their middle name."
"…" Davis looked impressed, "What a merchant-like way of dealing with an everlasting problem. They get to keep their names while also having considerable influence."
He cast a look at Young Master Ragoon, "So, do you want to see her?"
"…"
Young Master Ragoon glared at Davis, his eyes nearly in tears.
"No… I'll listen to you…"
His voice was meek, less hateful, less challenging, and more wanting to let him go- no, let her go.
