Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1379 - Liar?

Natalya used her rosy lips with enthusiasm. She kissed him with her soft rosy lips to make him satisfied with returning from a life and death battle.

Is there anything else better than a woman pleasing and praising her man for the achievement he had obtained?

Her thoughts were like this as she held him. His sapphire eyes looked at hers before he grabbed her cheeks and responded in passion.

Tia Alstreimʼs expression became tinged with a shade of red as she saw them kiss. A slight pout appeared on her cheeks as she felt a bit complex for some reason.

*Muah!~*

With a loud kiss, she left him as a trail of saliva hung on their lips. They licked it before they smiled at each other, seemingly knowing each other thoughts of wanting to get it on the bed. Natalya especially looked shyer at this moment, perhaps because the whole gallery had seen her kissing.

”Now youʼve become dirty as well...”

”Iʼll wash you and patch up your wounds...?” Natalya chimed in with soul transmission.

Davis shook his head, ”My injuries have already healed. Instead, I want you to be ready for me...”

”... Okay~” Natalya shyly lowered her head as she glanced at the others.

However, looking at them smile at her with her moist eyes, she knew that she was caught. Her expression went awry as she ran away while Fiora looked back and forth before she also ran with her elder sister.

”Davis, I...” Edgar Alstreimʼs voice echoed, tinged with both happiness and remorse as his expression was wholeheartedly apologetic, ”I shouldʼve stopped Tia at that time...”

Davis shook his head, ”Donʼt say that. The heavenly tribulation adjusts to the people involved in it. I was almost not able to win against it, but it should be even more terrifying after I reach the Ninth Stage because my prowess to cross levels would be less, causing my death if I were to face it later.”

All of their expressions went aghast as they learned the heavenly tribulationʼs intricacies. However, Edgar Alstreim became confused after becoming amazed.

”Wait... Ninth Stage? You havenʼt even reached the Eighth Stage, right...?” He doubtfully spoke before his expression changed as he saw Davis smile.

”How can it be...?”

”Iʼve already told you that I reached the King Soul Stage, grandfather. You cannot simply fathom my cultivation speed, thatʼs all. I know people who are faster than me, for example, Dragon Queen Isabella...”

”... At least, for now,” Davis added.

Edgar Alstreim was utterly dumbfounded, while the reaction of his wife and daughter also remained the same. They found it hard to believe that their grandson, who was not even two-thirds of their age, managed to become a Soul King. No wonder he boasted immense knowledge but for immense prowess?

”Are you saying that on top of being a Soul King, you were able to cross levels to battle the heavenly tribulation?”

”Thatʼs right. No one couldʼve survived that heavenly tribulation. My cultivation base is at Low-Level King Soul Stage, yet its lightning bolts started with the prowess of Mid-Level Eighth Stage. As more lightning bolts fell, it gradually increased before its prowess reached the very peak of the eighth stage!”

At this point, Davisʼs expression became twisted with resentment, ”Screw the heavens! I believe it was totally intent on killing Tia rather than testing her! That wasnʼt the heavenly tribulation I heard of in the myths! Wasnʼt it said that it does not completely seek destruction but also leaves with it a tiny tinge of nutrition when it ends? The purest heaven and earth energy that one could absorb, aiding people in their quest to become an Immortal?”

”However, there was nothing like that. Just pure destruction!” Davis harrumphed.

Fortunately, he had plundered its tribulation lightning, making him feel rather good about it.

However, Edgar Alstreimʼs expression went aghast along with his wife. Even Tia Alstreimʼs pupils trembled as she didnʼt think that the heavenly tribulation would go to such lengths to kill her. But at the same time, she realized the prowess of her big brother. She was not able to sense his prowess because of her low cultivation but knew that it should be somewhere around the Seventh Stage, but to think that it was at the Eighth Stage.

She became utterly stupefied on realizing this fact!

Edgar Alstreim didnʼt know what to say to Davis. He didnʼt understand head or toes about the heavenly tribulation, so there were no words he could offer. He could only remain apologetic, but he deeply sighed, offering words of gratitude.

”I thank you for protecting Tia and healing my wife. I donʼt know what wouldʼve happened without you, grandson...”

”Donʼt fret it...”

Davis just waved his hand, seemingly looking like the bigger man before his expression went dubious.

”Iʼve already received an invaluable reward from little aunt...” Davis tapped his cheek twice.

”...?”

Everyone turned to look at Tia Alstreim, whose expression turned into a shade of crimson red before she hid her face on her motherʼs bosoms again. Lia Alstreim blinked before she smiled in realization and c.a.r.e.s.sed her childʼs hair lovingly.

”Big brother, youʼre a big bully...”

Tia Alstreim muttered in a low voice, but everyone still heard it, their expressions becoming one of smirks as they chuckled, feeling heartened.

For the next few minutes, Edgar Alstreim and Lia Alstreim kept repeatedly thanking him while their conversation advanced. He was finding it troublesome to maintain a straight face before he sent them off.

Now, only he and Evelynn were left in this hall.

”Whatʼs up? Youʼve been silent all this while...”

Davis smiled as he looked at her.

Evelynnʼs expression was wry, ”You overdid it once again...”

”Well, it couldnʼt be helped,” Davis shrugged, ”Who knew that the heavenly tribulation would have been this disastrous? I wouldnʼt have brazenly faced like that if I knew it before.”

”Liar...” Evelynn pouted, ”You will help your little aunt one way or another...”

”Eh...” Davis didnʼt know how to reply to her as he felt rather unsure of himself. The way he acted most of the time during crises was purely if he wanted it or not for that moment. Flight or fight was always decided in an instant, so he couldnʼt have been sure if he would be ruthless enough to leave his little aunt at that time.

”When my door was knocked, I thought it was your avatar that had returned, but I was surprised to see your grandfather, possessing a pale expression on his face as he said that you might possibly be facing a heavenly tribulation...” Evelynn shook her head, ”You shouldʼve seen my expression. It was completely blank...”

”Hehe...” Davis awkwardly chuckled, ”Iʼm sorry for worrying you all again...”

Evelynn pursed her lips before heaving a sigh, ”In any case, youʼre alive and well. Please donʼt do anything reckless like that again. Iʼd sacrifice your little aunt rather than seeing you die...”

Davisʼs expression froze while Evelynn let out a giggle on seeing his expression.

”Iʼm just kidding, although I canʼt promise if I would agree to let you help her or not, depending on the level of danger. If you say that you want to help her or not despite the high level of danger, then you must make her yours.”

”What!?” Davisʼs expression became dumbfounded on hearing her statement, ”What are you saying, Evelynn? Sheʼs my aunt...”

”So what? Marriage between nephew and aunt is quite normal. Besides, she is from another grandmother. I donʼt know what kind of thoughts you have on that, but if youʼre going to take that kind of danger for her again, then I want you to have her. I donʼt want you dying for some random women...”

Evelynnʼs brows creased as she looked angered. Her body also trembled, seemingly ready to be sworn at by Davis.

However, Davis lowered his head, looking confused. The woman he least expected to agree to these matters, especially in taking other women, agreed to let him take Tia but her last words made it clear to him that she only cared about him the best other than her sisters.

He really couldnʼt find fault with her concern that he smiled, heartened.

”I understand. Iʼll try my best to follow your wishes, Evelynn...”

Evelynn looked shook, not understanding how her brazenness did not anger him. She understood that she did not have the right to limit his actions, so she had felt compelled to tell him not to lose his life over some irrelevant individual even if she had to offend him in the process.

She knew that he had a kind heart, but she did not want him to die needlessly!

However, the next moment, looking at him spread his arms, she knew that her intent has got to him. She rushed towards him and embraced his dirty figure, two tears dropping from her eyes as she tightly held him.

”I donʼt want to lose you...” She sobbed, her voice cracking a bit.

”I donʼt either...”

Davis gently smiled as he wrapped his arms around her, feeling her warmth calm his soul deeply.

”Did you know that I also saw something horrible in my mind?”

Evelynn raised her brows, ”What is it...?”

”Hehe, you were standing with another man, holding his hand while pushing yourself towards him, saying that you have fallen out of love with me, that you deeply love him instead of me...”

”What!? How dare you imagine me like that!? You want to die!?”

Evelynn separated from him as her poisonous energy erupted from her, her expression looking aggrieved and enraged.

How could he suspect her like this when all she thought about were him and him alone?

Davis raised his hands in surrender almost as quickly.

”It was a Heart Demon Tribulation, and it manifested one of my fears, probably my greatest fear,” Davis wryly smiled as he added, ”I guess...”

”Eh...” Evelynn looked taken aback.

Her expression was blank for some time before a crimson shade appeared on her cheeks. It was because when she thought about it, Davisʼs fears meant that he loved her the most contrarily. She shyly lowered her head, feeling her anger fade replaced with joy.

ʼI see... so he is also afraid of losing me just as I am...ʼ

Even with all those women occupying his heart, she was still his first. It wasnʼt the first time she knew about this, but every time it became apparent, it made her deeply satisfied. She inwardly danced before she looked back at him.

”So if you faced a Heart Demon Tribulation, does that mean Tia faced the same? Wait, your grandfather said that she fainted in the beginning, so thatʼs what it was... but, what could she have seen...?”

Davisʼs expression became a bit awkward, ”Although I have an inkling, itʼs best left unsaid.”

”Now you made me curious instead...” Evelynn narrowed her eyes, her expression looking s.e.xy before she cast an imploring look.

”Uhm...” Davis scratched his cheek, ”It was just a teenagerʼs fear of having their familyʼs harmony destroyed. Nothing more, nothing less...”

”Mhmm~~~” Evelynn gave out a drawn-out voice of doubt before she smiled.

”Alright, go take a quick bath. Second sis must be waiting for you, all freshened up, probably beautifying herself by now.”

”Mhm, you take care of yourself. I made Natalya wait too long already...”

”I will...” Evelynn licked her lips before she grinned, ”Make her m.o.a.n crazily as much as I did. Otherwise, I wouldnʼt have any face left as the big sister...”

”You bet...!”

Davis laughed as he turned around and left. However, he stopped and rushed back before he embraced her and passionately kissed her. Evelynn reciprocated as she, too, let herself become unbridled. They kept at it for a few seconds before Davis left her lips, looking satisfied as he saw her charming expression.

”Iʼll see you later.”

Evelynn licked her lips with relish, seemingly looking like she had her fill before she left. Davis looked at her swaying b.u.t.t for a while, wanting to tap them before he shook his head and left.

A few minutes later, he was in the bath, his expression quite eager as he washed himself of the charred patches of skin that got stuck to his recovered, new skin. However, his expression suddenly became solemn.

”Care to explain about that little episode of deserting me, Fallen Heaven?”
