Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 169 Su Hualing

Chapter 169 Su Hualing

"So young miss is Su Hualing… Good name…" Davis murmured.

He was quite astonished to see someone having a similar Chinese name, but was their origins Chinese in the first place?

In the Loret Family's library, he did read about quite some people who had a similar kind of names but never got to see one. He had no idea how these persons distinguished from themselves, or how they named themselves either.

'Did the existence that the Death Note mentioned, brought some people from here to establish the ethnicity of the various racial group on Earth?' He thought, still not able to understand what happened in the past.

Still, it was of no concern, so he just pushed the thought away, and said, "Can I travel with your group to a safe place? This place seems to be lurking with powerful beasts that I don't want to meet… In turn, you can take all the vultures I killed."

Su Hualing smiled and murmured, "Young Miss is not young…"

She came forward and patted his head gently, "Don't worry, elder sister will take care of you…"

A slight vein erupted on Davis's forehead before he pushed her hands away with an excuse as if throwing a tantrum, "Don't touch me! I am an adult and know how to take care of myself!"

"Hahaha, how cute…" Su Hualing looked at him as she laughed.

She now quite came to believe that he was a child without a doubt.

"Young Miss Su Hualing… Don't tease me…" Curling his lips in dissatisfaction, he uttered.

"Haha, you're the only one who calls me young miss… Who taught you ethics and manners? Was it your master?"

Davis went silent and looked down as if he mourned for the loss.

Su Hualing realised that she had touched upon a distasteful topic.

She quickly opened her mouth, "Sorry, it's just that I'm over 100 years old and no has ever called me young miss before…"

"Hmm? Someone as powerful as you hasn't been called young miss before? Why?" Davis asked curiously with a genuine face. He was quite shocked to see someone this old look young as he thought, 'Cultivation does do wonders…'

Su Hualing looked at his expression and vaguely had an urge to talk about her past. She had almost let down her guard she maintained in front of other men as Davis had an innocent face.

She smiled and shook her head, "It's just a distasteful past. It's isn't of any concern now… Moreover, I am quite happy with this life, being married to the love of my life as well as having two children who are of your age right now…"

Davis was astonished that she was married and had kids, but not surprised seeing that she was over a hundred years old.

He didn't let the astonishment show over his face as he said, "I see… Shall we get moving then?"

Su Hualing nodded and mounted the horses, while Davis sat behind a man who called himself Jake.

…

The horses were fast and they travelled for 15,000 kilometres north in 5 days before they reached a plateau that consisted of flat sandy terrain and steep slopes.

During the three days, Davis became more familiar with the members Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

He gained a lot of information from the idle banter they engaged in from time to time.

Such as, they compared him to the elite geniuses who were known widely in this region, and couldn't help but acknowledge his talent in Soul Cultivation.

Some spoke sarcastically, and were openly were jealous of him but they meant no harm. To this, Davis could only shake his head. If he saw someone better than him, then he felt that he would get jealous as well.

There was already a precedent in his previous life anyway. He had felt jealous of kids who had a loving and caring family, but now he had one, he didn't feel jealous of them anymore.

He gained a copy of the map of this region and was greatly astonished to see that this region was 3,500,000 kilometres long.

The map was not detailed but only had widely known places and organisations marked on it.

There were three major powers in this region, and he knew one of them since it was his mother's family.

This region was known as Desolate Continent and the three major powers were the Alstreim Family, Falling Snow Sect and Towering Cloud Hall.

The three major powers were outside forces. They joined together, forming the Tripartite Alliance and conquered the Desolate Continent

These three were High-Level Emperor Grade powers which have Ninth Stage experts at their helm.

Under them were various Mid-Level Emperor Grade powers which had Eighth Stage experts at their helm.

And under them were King Grade influences which had Seventh Stage experts at their helm. Likewise, the King Grade influences had Sky Grade influences under them as well.

But no one bothered with Earth Grade and Mortal Grade influences as they were too weak to vie for the important resources.

Though that doesn't mean that the lower influences will not submit themselves to higher influences but instead, they are eager to curry favour with them.

Davis felt that this was natural and logical. He felt that to survive, people would do anything, much less subordinating themselves to a higher power.

After the Tripartite Alliance conquered the Desolate Continent, most people started calling it Tripartite Alliance Territory.

In this place, there was a restriction imposed upon by the three major powers.

That is, the powers present in this place should not exceed Seventh Stage, and to follow this rule and convince the people, the three major powers established a headquarters at the north end placing Seventh Stage Experts to control it.

He looked down the plateau and saw a huge camp with that looked like a small town with many people clad in different types of armour roam around the area.

His brows narrowed as he saw the various array formations surround the huge camp. He could see that some of them were defensive formations used to protect their base.

"Welcome to our Cloud Spring Mercenary Headquarters, Davis." Su Hualing uttered with a gentle smile on her face.
