Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 477 Assassin In The Royal Castle?



In a wide room, a woman who had a lean build sat on top of a bed, aptly positioned at the corner of the room. The room was wide and big, enough to hose four people and still have space.

The woman's entire body was slightly glowing and her lustrous black hair floated up like it was defying the laws of physics except it wasn't since physics was entirely different here. In other words, the aura emanating from her body lifted up her lush black hair.

With a pair of black pupils covered by clear whites, a small nose and crimson lips painting her face, she looked like an oriental fairy who fell from grace.

She opened her eyes and a peculiar glint flashed past her eyes, but then she brought her hand up and pinched her small nose as she frowned.

"Stinky!" She spat a word out of her mouth as she looked at the bedsheet below her stained with black liquid.

This woman who looked at her own impurities with disgust was none other than Mo Mingzhi.

She was currently in the room which she was first assigned to in the Royal Castle, Loret Empire's Capital.

She gave an exasperated sigh before getting off the bed as her two long legs touched the surface. She stood up and with her two hands, rolled the stained bedsheet and disposed of it in the trash she had kept in another corner of the room.

After that, she headed into the bathroom and took a bath to clean the impurities which stuck to her skin which came out of her pores.

These impurities, the black liquid was the result of cultivating Body Tempering Cultivation, and this wasn't her first time experiencing this in her cultivation experience.

That was because she had reached the Second Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation; Bronze Stage! She crossed four levels to reach this stage!

It had been over nine months since she had started cultivating, and during this time, she had grit her teeth and endured the pain as she cultivated her body.

In the first few months; the first three months to be exact, she endured pain that she had never experienced before, crying some times, almost giving up before reaching the First Stage.

In the remaining six months, it became easier for her to cultivate her body since she had become accustomed to the pain caused in that stage.

In the First Stage; the Copper Stage, she just had to advance in the levels. Namely, the Low, Mid, High and Peak Levels. She took the pills capable of providing her help in this endeavor and her rate of improvement became tremendous.

The Loret Empire had much more resources to spare, and she unceremoniously took the required pills for herself since those pills weren't anything rare.

Now, she had entered the Second Stage in less than a year, however...

Her body had just too many impurities!

Her lifestyle as a mortal was the sole reason for the impurities to exist in her body.

As for Davis, his body was born here on the Grand Sea Continent while his parents were originally people who were without many impurities in their bodies.

For this reason, only when he tempered his bone marrows to reach the latter stages of the first half of the Body Tempering Cultivation did he release those putrid impurities; the black viscous liquid from his body.

Even as a Second Stage Body Tempering Cultivator, Mo Mingzhi still would have to temper her body and ooze out impurities in the process while enduring excruciating pain.

In the First Stage, she had only managed to remove impurities from her flesh, making her look lustrous and radiant with glowing skin.

However, in the Second Stage, not only would she have to temper the flesh but also her blood vessels and meridians. In this process, she would ooze out more impurities from both the flesh and meridians.

And so on and so forth for every upcoming stage until she finally sheds the entirety of her impurities.

Mo Mingzhi came out of the bath freshened up. She no longer wore the modern clothes of Earth but had changed to the robes which were common to the Loret Empire.

She didn't wear royal clothes but wore clothes belonging to guests which were rather luxurious, equal to the ones which the nobles wear in their casual time.

Her full sleeves robe was black in color with dark red elliptical patterns, accentuating her image of a fallen oriental fairy.

Mo Mingzhi looked at herself in the mirror and nodded at her own image with a smile.

'Even without using makeup, my skin is fair and even glowing!' She couldn't help but exclaim.

She then pinned her body while stretching her hands, nodding a second time at her beauty and attire.

"Perfect!"

She let out a silent comment before walking towards the door with gracious steps. Her lips subconsciously curved into an even more wide smile when she thought that she was going to meet Tian Long!

'It has been more than half a year, I wonder if he would praise me if he sees that I cultivated according to his instructions...'

She slightly trembled, 'Ahh, I feel like my heart is going to shatter. Mo Mingzhi, calm yourself down... Just take deep breaths...'

Mo Mingzhi used the breathing technique she had practiced in the beginning to regulate her heartbeat to calm her nerves. Then she opened the door and stepped out, only to see the narrow pathway heading to different directions.

Momentarily stunned, she was at a loss on which direction to take. She looked towards the sides and found no one, not even the maid who usually tended to her.

Only then did Mo Mingzhi look it of the small holes in the pathway and saw that it was still dark, probably deep into the night. She annoyingly pursed her lips and understood that she had chosen the wrong time to exit cultivation.

'Wouldn't he be sleeping with his wife now?'

She folded her hands below her breasts and tapped her feet in annoyance, thinking that if she should wait for dawn to break or...

Mo Mingzhi's pupils dilated.

A black-robed person suddenly appeared in front of her!

Mo Mingzhi froze and with a jerk, she took two steps back as she shouted, "Who are you!?"

Fear overtook her heart in an instant, thinking that the person who suddenly appeared before her in black robes was going to assassinate her!

She instantly took a step to the side and just as she was about to run and call for help, the other party spoke, "I'm a hidden protector assigned to protect you."

Mo Mingzhi froze again, except this time the look in her face spoke 'What the fuck!?'.

She turned to look at the black-robed person in disbelief before she took two steps back in cautiousness.

After seeing that the black-robed person whose voice sounded like a woman just stood on the hallway like she was not an intruder, Mo Mingzhi scrutinized her from top to bottom for a few seconds.

Seeing that the black-robed person whose voice sounded feminine stand like she wasn't bothered that the guards were going to come to look for her, only then did Mo Mingzhi dare to slightly relax.

With a silent harrumph in her mind, Mo Mingzhi asked, "Who sent you to protect me?"

"His Highness, Crown Prince Davis."

Mo Mingzhi's eyes flashed and her mood which had turned sullen because of this event quickly lit up in joy.

"Really!?"
