Chapter 3369 Scandalous Healer
Davis had his hands lightly raised.
He was just about to command the battleship to stop leaving the city, but as soon as he heard what Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder had to say, he looked at the palm of his hand and knew the slap wasn't worth it.
No- this wouldn't be a slap but a kick to his crotch.
"He truly knew how to not court death as he didn't ask it straight to my face."
Davis chuckled, causing Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder to laugh awkwardly while Founder Rocksunder looked confused beyond compare.
"Such a person is called a Saint?"
Many men present here suddenly felt that if such a man who lusted after married women could be called a Saint, then they were Deities. It wasn't like they didn't understand lusting after a woman who was already in a relationship as feelings couldn't be controlled, but for a Saint, this should be absolutely abhorrent, no?
Founder Rocksunder looked partly confused and partly disgusted.
There was a reason why people respected- no, worshiped Saint and Saintess because they were the beacon of hope in the darkness that covered the world and was the almighty compassion they looked in people. They all knew the Emperor of Death wouldn't even be called a Saint if he didn't have life energy and only had light energy and healing arts, so what made these Saints with light energy was also their virtuous values.
Without it and their overly specialized healing arts, they were no different than physicians.
"Is it because of the Divine Technique?"
Myria asked calmly.
She seemed to be indifferent to these types of eccentrically debaucherous behavior.
"That's there too, but it is as Saint Riyal Mendez said."
Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder nodded, "He doesn't go out of his way to kill or entrap anyone. I was told that he is like a sleazy merchant; he waits for someone in desperation or greediness to appear so that he can offer his treatment in exchange for one of their women, and he always goes for the woman who is the most discontent in the relationship so he could swindle her heart and make love with her."
"…"
Tanya's lips curled in disgust, but the Earth Dragon Clan's Patriarch continued.
"Considering that he's a Saint, he could easily capture any woman's heart, and if he couldn't, he saw that as a challenge. Knowing his intent, some men actively try to gain women in their harem like that just so they could gift her in exchange for his Divine Technique or pills. Logically speaking, even a female Early Immortal Emperor couldn't be worth the Divine Technique Saint Riyal Mendez has created, so his treatment still sells occasionally…"
"Of course, everything is done in a private setting, and the Ancestors guarding Saint Riyal Mendez have sworn to secrecy, so there is very little chance of anyone suffering humiliation or the Saint himself suffering from retaliation from regret as he's a Peak-Level Immortal Emperor."
"What about the consent of the woman he chose?" Davis raised his brows.
"As I said, this is done in secrecy so even the woman the Saint chose would not be in the know. All she would have is some discontent emotions in the relationship, while the Saint would try to secretly court her while also secretly having the permission of the husband. If it succeeds-"
Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder's lips moved, but no sound came out anymore as he seemed disgusted enough to go speechless.
"If it doesn't succeed after a few tries, the Saint would leave, but the deal would be still on. The husbands also tend to take this as a form of possibility to test the loyalty of their disgruntled wives, so if they were found out that they were cheating, they would be disposed of secretly…"
"…"
Was Saint Riyal Mendez helping the husbands stay free from disloyal wives, or were the husbands cucking themselves?
No one could tell which one was the truth.
"What if the one who is requesting to meet that phony Saint is a woman?"
Davis asked, causing Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder's lips to twitch.
"Of course, if the client is a woman, then the Saint demands a night with her if he agrees to the request, and if the couple is in a monogamous relationship, he even offers to help her find evidence of her husband cheating on her before sleeping with her as he issues a challenge to her..."
"Taking advantage of the cracks in a relationship to enter and make it even worse…"
Davis sighed. He hated these types of people.
They come with a smiling face of helping out, but hidden behind that smile was a devious intention intended to prey on and watch the resulting damage with a wide smile on their face. It was a narcissistic behavior but was also found in those who pride themselves on being the most sexually attractive.
"Hehem~" Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder coughed, "Since there is no fault to be found here from all three parties or the fault lies within all three parties, it just went on like a treatment for both fertility and loyalty for the past hundreds and thousands of years…"
"The Saint should have many offspring born of this nature, no?" Isabella raised her brows, disgust visible in her eyes.
"Unlikely. They say he always restrains his virility to the maximum and says that he is an advocate for true love although we all know he loves married women but also despises them for being disloyal…"
"…"
Isabella's lips curled into a mocking smile, "So he doesn't have any wives or kids, right?"
"That's right."
"Truly a coward who can't trust and can't endure what he dishes out…"
"Well, this is all only hearsay, so don't blame me if I am wrong~"
Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder washed his hands-free of this matter while Davis and the others looked at each other.
For something that was hearsay, it was vaguely… more detailed, so one could see this was a thing going on in the Dragon-Phoenix Alliance that warranted plenty of secrecy, but today, it was finally exposed because the Saint made contact with a calamity.
Obviously, Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder wished to avoid the confrontation between the Divine Emperor of Death and Saint Riyal Mendez and, hence, spilled the beans.
After all, it was well-known how protective Davis was of his women.
However, Davis and the others all had only one thing in mind.
That was to steal the Divine Technique and the pill recipes from the sexually depraved Saint.
However, it was easier said than done, as he was a Peak-Level Immortal Emperor who couldn't be easily beaten. The Ancestors around him were no different than servants as they were probably weaker than him but could be still of some hindrance.
To top it off, everything about the Divine Technique and pill recipes was in his mind, so they would have to soulscour him.
All things considered, if they wanted the Divine Technique and the pill recipes now, they had no choice but to negotiate, but indulging in that would allow the Saint to choose any one of his women to test.
And… it suddenly dawned on them how useful it was as a loyalty test.
It was extremely useful in a harem, and even in their man's harem, it wasn't like they approved of all their sisters, especially the new members whom they didn't vet but had entered through unavoidable circumstances, so they could understand the urge of wanting to test them.
If the woman the Saint chose decided to cheat, wouldn't that be the woman's fault and not the Saint's?
They could see why a man or a woman would visit him to improve their virility or fertility, but if their spouse was a cheater, then was it even worth increasing their virility or fertility to impregnate or conceive their partner's offspring?
This might all seem wicked and stupid from the perspective of outsiders, but from those who were involved, it was a clash of beliefs and trust, and who else was there to rely on other than a 'well-respected' Saint…?
It was a water body that one might not know if it was a clear spring lake or a swamp until they set foot in it.
