”…”

Everlight paused for a moment before she lowered her head, ”Iʼm honored.”

”…”

Davis stared at her with scrutiny, his lips moving.

”Why?”

”…”

Everlight remained silent, although it seemed as though her semi-transparent white veil somehow turned pinkish in color.

”When I asked Everlight how we should recruit Queen Nadia, her response was that we would fail and instead die.”

Instead, the Light Sky Wolf Immortal opened her mouth.

”Then I asked her what we must do, and she said that we could try sending her as a bride, unite the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan and the Emperor of Deathʼs power. I thought it was not bad, so what do you say, young human?”

Davis stared at the Light Sky Wolf Immortal, watching her eyes intensely before he opened his mouth.

”Is this a marriage of convenience?”

”Hehe~” The Light Sky Wolf Immortal suddenly giggled, ”One thing I assure you.”

”Not anyone could have my lovely descendant. Iʼm only giving Everlight to you after I heard the story of how you protected Queen Nadia from mindless humans who fear the unknown. I want my power to thrive, but more than that, I want my descendants to thrive and be happy. For that very reason, I established the Magical Beast Sanctuary, but such a weak power could not possibly gain any momentum in the First Haven World, so I joined the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan.”

”As for whether my descendant will be happy with you...” The Light Sky Wolf Immortalʼs smile widened, ”That is something you should ask her yourself after she becomes your bride.”

ʼIsnʼt that something supposed to be asked before!?ʼ

Davis inwardly grumbled. However, looking at Everlightʼs lowered head, he blinked.

”What do I gain from this?”

”The Starlight Jade Wolf Clanʼs complete protection upon your ascendance. Weʼll risk harboring you and your family so that you can do the same to us after you rise like now. Your actions of repaying debts, both gratitude and vengeance alike, are plain to be seen and resounding in the Fifty-Two Territories, so I fully trust that youʼre capable of benefiting us as much as we benefit you.”

”In any case, this is a big decision, just like the time you decided to make Queen Nadia your woman. Iʼll await your response in a weekʼs time.”

”Heh, do you even have the authority in your power to make such a big decision?” Davis sneered.

However, the Light Sky Wolf Immortal still smiled.

”Donʼt worry. If the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan doesnʼt protect you, then consider it my loss. You donʼt need to do anything for the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, and Everlight will still be yours, but I hope that you can take good care of her.”

”…”

”Everlight, letʼs go.”

Davis watched them leave before they disappeared from his view.

What the fuck just happened? The exchange absolutely didnʼt make sense to him!

Why would Everlight still belong to him as a repercussion when the Light Sky Wolf Immortal loved her descendants so much from what he had seen?

Was this how magical beasts were? Or was his character that trustable?

They were not purely concentrated on the gains as humans did, or so he felt; that it was the former.

Nonetheless, calming himself from the bewilderment caused by this strange encounter, he turned to look at his beautiful wolf empress.

”Nadia, what do you feel about this marriage of alliance or rather Everlight?”

”Master, excluding the Light Sky Wolf Immortalʼs promise, Everlightʼs smell was as though she was in heat.”

”…” Davis became a bit stupefied, but he saw Nadia shake her head.

”No… I think she had just passed her heat phase. If Iʼm right, she mustʼve realized her feelings for you during that time.”

”How… how does that work…?”

”Mhmm… How do I say this…?” Nadiaʼs cheeks behind her purple veil flushed red, ”When I was in heat, all I can imagine… was you~”

”Is that so?” Davisʼs eyes brightened as he captured Nadiaʼs nape and brought her close to him.

He lifted her purple veil with his fingers and plastered a hot kiss, sealing her crimson mouth. Her lips sought him out instantly before her naughty tongue emerged, encountering a fierce battle with his tongue.

It wasnʼt until a minute that they both separated, looking into each otherʼs eyes with lustful passion.

”Master~”

Nadia coyly called out, but Davis shook his head, ”Not yet.”

”Although it is unlikely that you lose your Emperor-Tier Bloodline upon becoming an Immortal Beast, I donʼt want to needlessly lower your chances. Itʼs only a bit more enduring, so what do you say?”

”Mhm, Iʼll follow masterʼs words~ The Light Sky Wolf Immortalʼs words also make me feel some unease.”

”Good girl.”

Davis caressed her cheek, his gaze smitten with love, while Nadia smiled adorably in his embrace. Neither of them were researchers and could only go by how they felt, so it was a must they hold back instead of giving into passionate lust.

Nonetheless, he admired her empire-toppling looks that appeared like a pale white jade sculpture for some time before they returned to the Alstreim Family.

After he entered his floor and arrived at the hall, he saw Lucia leaning on the casket as though it was her pillar.

Hearing his footsteps, Lucia raised her head to look at him, quickly standing up as her face became solemn. She walked towards him with brisk steps with her hands swinging before she finally stopped before him, her expression fuming.

”You called me here to see if I still have some feelings for Glyn, right?”

”Youʼre right.” Davis unhesitatingly nodded.

”What are you going to do about it now that you know that I still didnʼt forget him? Are you trying to court me? Or are you trying to marry me off?”

Luciaʼs expression couldnʼt help but tremble as tears once again welled up in her eyes, ”Whatever it is, tell me soon so that I can tell you no.”

Davis narrowed his brows, causing Lucia to realize that she sounded so ungrateful while reeling in her emotions.

”Donʼt misunderstand.” She hurriedly shook her hands, ”Iʼm immensely grateful to you. Because of you, my father gained justice. Because of you, my family was able to reunite. Because of you, they are in high spirits all day long, unworried of the Calamity Light. I will do anything for you, even die for your cause. However, please donʼt ask me for my womanhood. It belongs to only one person in this world but unfortunately,”

Lucia cast a gaze back to the casket.

”… that person is no longer with me.”

Davisʼs brows returned to normal as a wry smile emerged on his face.

”You wonʼt change your mind in the future?”

”Perhaps, I might or might not.” Lucia returned her gaze, looking him in the eye, ”A cultivatorʼs life is long, and I donʼt know what will happen. But now, only his smile occupies my heart.”

”Oh, Lucia.” Davis couldnʼt help but chuckle as he raised his hand and patter her head, ”Donʼt be mistaken. Youʼre a brave girl who faced dangers without backing down. You know what you want for yourself most of the time, so Iʼm not going to interfere with telling you whatʼs better for you.”

Lucia became stunned before she expressed much relief.

”Thank you~ I love you so much, little brother. Youʼre the one I can depend on the most!”

While her parents occasionally pleaded with her to look for someone, only he understood her feelings and let her remain as she pleased. No, only because of him could she remain as she pleased. His indirect influence affected her life in many ways than she could think about.

”Alright, elder sister.” Davis nodded, ”Time to end this charade.”

”Huh?” Lucia blinked, not understanding his words for a moment before her expression became anxious, ”Davis… Iʼm really telling the truth… Please believe me… Iʼm not lying...”

”I know.”

”Then…”

Lucia gave him a confused look but saw him gaze at the casket. She turned her head and saw something atrocious, her eyes going wide in horror as she witnessed Glynʼs corpse rise stiffly from the casket. She flinched heavily, almost falling on Davis, but he supported her by holding her shoulders, allowing her to continue watching the rising Glyn.

”Lu… ci… ya… Iʼve come to haunt you… from the underworld...”

A hoarse voice emerged from the depths of Glynʼs throat, causing Lucia to shudder. However, that voice shudder suddenly stopped, her expression churning with emotions as her lips quivered.

”Glyn… youʼre alive?”

Glyn shuddered ever so lightly before raising his head and adjusting his robe, displaying a light yet awkward smile.

”Yes. With your incessant love haunting me, I came back to life.”

”...”
