Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1518 - Work Done?

Chapter 1518 - Work Done?

After Davis closed the door on Mo Mingzhi, he erected a soul barrier that astounded Evelynn, Natalya, Fiora, and Emine. As for the others, they had already left for their places while Nora had gone back to see her father and mother.

"Emine, will you eliminate Mo Mingzhi if I told you to kill her?"

Davis abruptly asked, which caused Emine’s black pupils to dilate. She trembled before she went on one knee and spoke.

"With all due respect, Crown Prince. I can’t, not without having a valid reason."

Davis’s brows furrowed.

"Your words, do you realize they’re tantamount to betraying the Loret Family and even me?"

Emine trembled under Davis’s scrutiny and his overwhelming might. It wasn’t as if he released anything, but she couldn’t help but feel this invisible pressure that almost overwhelmed her thoughts, making her fearful. She bit her lips and answered.

"I understand, Crown Prince. However, I can never go against your mother’s, my Empress’s teaching to never abandon our sisters during our mission. Mistress Mo Mingzhi may not be one of us, but she has saved my life many times. I will not forget that debt, even if it costs my life."

Davis’s eyes went wide. His mother injected such thoughts into the intelligence force she brought up? Looks like her past where she was not so evidently betrayed by Nora influenced her to make up this rule.

Still, Emine continued.

"However, my loyalty lies with the Loret Family, and my respect for Mistress Mo Mingzhi stems from the fact that she only looks at your highness no matter what. If Mistress Mo Mingzhi dares to betray your highness, just say the word. I’ll take her to the underworld along with me."

’Such a strong character...’

Davis became impressed.

These women called Emine, Felt, and Tami were part of his Loret Family’s intelligence organization. Their loyalty towards the Loret Family was already known to him that he knew they wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice themselves by self-destructing if push comes to shove.

However, Emine daring to go against his words for Mo Mingzhi left him smiling.

"I was just kidding, Emine. Stand up. You have proved to me that you’re worthy of looking after that spoiled lass."

Emine visibly relaxed once she understood that this was just a test. She stood up, smiling with a foolish grin as she caught his handsome face, which made her blush a little that she couldn’t help but ask.

"Does Crown Prince not love Mistress Mo- Ah, excuse me. I overstepped my limits."

"She’s just proclaiming that herself. I have yet to fall for her, so don’t go believing her lies if at all she mentions anything exaggerating."

’But your highness, your words state that you might eventually fall for her.’ Emine low-key smiled, but she didn’t say anything. She had already felt their relationship was one-sided after seeing all their arguments.

After that, she was given the room beside Mo Mingzhi.

Evelynn, Natalya, and Fiora didn’t seem to say anything as they just followed him while Davis walked towards the hall. However, when he arrived at the hall, he froze.

All of the women he had some kind of physical relationship with gathered as if some kind of force pulled them in one of the many halls here on the seventeenth floor.

Evelynn, Natalya, Isabella, Fiora, Sophie and Niera. They somehow stood in a circle while sparks flew in the middle of them for no reason that Davis had to come in between before it could ignite into a fight or some kind of competition.

"Ladies, let’s keep this amicable. Give your man some face, will you?"

"..."

He was seeing almost all of the women he truly loved gather together as they smiled. His mouth didn’t go agape, but his eyes were wide, seemingly filled with elation. This scene was euphoric to him, but the only thing he missed was Shirley while Nadia was within him.

"Go away. You’re not allowed into the gathering of your harem."

Isabella pushed him away out of the circle with a teasing smile before Evelynn led them away, leaving him alone standing in the middle of the hall.

"Gathering...?"

He gawked before he deeply smiled. He grinned, stretching his body to enhance this euphoric feeling.

’Well, as long as they’re united...’

He could see that they’re trying to accept each other, but for that, they would have to communicate without him bothering them. He was sure that if he interfered, they were going to tackle him together, so he didn’t bother with them anymore and headed towards the place where he planted the seed from the viridian fruit and grew it into a young tree.

In this place, he had already set up a basic High-Level Emperor Grade Concealment Formation he acquired from Isabella so as not to let someone unwanted notice this marvelous tree that he still had no idea about in regards to its identity because he knew that not even the All-Seeing Towers seemed to know of its identity since Mival Silverwind had already done his homework.

"Heya~~"

"I know I left you for a while, but I’m back to help you grow again!"

Davis grinned as he raised his hand and touched the tree trunk. The spirit became so happy that it even trembled for a few moments. He didn’t take his hand away, but his life energy began emerging from his palm, seeping into the tree as it started to enrich it again.

"Awwa~"

A m.o.a.n of happiness could be heard again.

Davis didn’t say anything as he kept his smile. This spirit’s emotions were so pure that he couldn’t find a semblance of deviousness in it with his Heart Intent. Nevertheless, this brought him deep into contemplation because he felt like starting to learn about plant life more because, with his life energy, he felt that his potential wasn’t just directed to slaughter but also to giving life.

He felt like he must fully utilize Fallen Heaven’s powers, or else it would be a waste of his potential.

’Well, I will set out again after this marriage, preferably with Isabella, while leaving the others in the Grand Sea Continent for a year or so. Then I can take those Dragon Families’ eyes off of the Alstreim Family while we put them down for good simultaneously.’

Davis inwardly nodded to this plan, but he also knew that pulling it off would be quite a feat, but only if this marriage event would go smoothly in the first place.

Time passed.

The Alstreim Family was full of excitement, seething with a bustling atmosphere. All the Nine Western Territories Hegemons except the Flowing Mist Sect were invited.

People had already started gathering in droves, mainly the people with relatively low status like Elders and Disciples. As for the ones like the Sect Master and Grand Elders, they would surely gather three days before the marriage to participate in the banquet. It was unknown if their Ancestors would visit, but if they did, it would be completely grand, making the visitors speechless as it was also a marriage union between two hegemonic powers.

This isn’t any laughing matter, for it might change the battleground for the other six hegemonic powers!

Time passed again.

Almost two weeks passed in an instant, making it so that there were only three days before the marriage.

By this time, the work of setting up all the defensive formations was done!

Ancestors Dian Alstreim came out of seclusion, appearing bold with renewed confidence. With his emergence, the entire Alstreim Family became abuzz once again.

On the other hand, Ancestor Tirea Snow returned to the Falling Snow Sect to get herself ready as the bride. However, while the Alstreim Family was abuzz with joy and excitement, the Falling Snow Sect was discontent with their Ancestor’s decision. The atmosphere became quite gloomy without much fanfare, even though there were still a few displays present.

The Falling Snow Sect had never held a public marriage of giving away its brides in this lifetime but had only accepted grooms, so it felt like they were humiliated.

However, people who followed Ancestor Tirea Snow and a few certain individuals felt that this was a welcome change. The Falling Snow Sect was closed off for too long that they felt like they were lonely most of the time, even with their men, because, in their life, it was pretty much matriarchal.

The men here did not know how to lead, nor did they make their hearts race even though they were all good-looking. Most of them were at the Law Dominion Stage, with a few at the Law Sea Stage.

However, they were not allowed to make decisions for the Falling Snow Sect, nor were they considered a part of it. The only thing they were good for was making them give birth to beauties and more charming-looking men a bit on the effeminate side.

At this time, Davis was still with the young viridian tree.

Of course, he wasn’t just with the viridian tree all the time but helped Evelynn comprehend Poison Laws by giving her the comprehension clouds. He also occasionally made out with his six women who had gathered for him, trying to accept each other to the best of their ability. However, the ’making out’ was not in bed but just giving them occasional kisses spiced with love as if he was rewarding them.

He even met up with Tina Roxley and talked with her for some time, getting to know her more.

As for Mo Mingzhi, she came to torture him with her witty tongue, always putting him in a spot. Her relentless assault left him quite tired because she knew how to make him lose his cool and retreated once she achieved her purpose.

Davis could see she was quite satisfied at the moment, smiling and teasing him whenever she had the chance. Her brightness left him a bit blinded, not able to understand how she could be so defenseless with her father’s killer.

When he asked how she could be so lovable with him out, she gave an unadorned reply with a complicated expression on her face.

"You know that feeling when your c.h.e.s.t suddenly tightens, and your stomach gets butterflies, then goosebumps appear all over your body when that person you like the most is near you. Yeah, you are that person to me. Love doesn’t need a reason to make me feel like this, Davis..."

Davis appeared speechless to her reply and a wide smile that appeared bright.

He felt deeply moved and had almost come to the point of accepting her. However, he just couldn’t find the impetus that would break his natural resistance to her.

Keeping a woman waiting wasn’t his style at all.

If he truly liked them, he would relish them, just like he found Sophie and Niera to his liking.

It was just that Mo Mingzhi and even Tina Roxley were two special cases in his life that he felt like he couldn’t make a mistake with his decision.

Mo Mingzhi was just a matter of not looking at her as his dead nemesis’s daughter so he could get rid of that natural resistance, but as for Tina Roxley, it was about finding the source of those strange feelings he had for her, verifying that they were his and not anyone else’s.

He occasionally glanced at Nadia in his soul sea, but there were no signs of her waking up at the moment.

Finally, when the day of the marriage arrived, most people gathered around the central area where a huge event hall existed near the Ancestral Hall.

Nevertheless, Ancestor Dian Alstreim wasn’t in the Ancestral Hall. Instead, he went to receive the bride!

Two carriages set out from the Alstreim Family to the Falling Snow Sect to receive the bride and in one of the carriages was Ancestor Dian Alstreim!
