Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4149  On The Precipice

”Indeed.”

Davis nodded, causing Vereina to relax her gaze. It wasnʼt some other official woman. With this, she knew she wasnʼt so low on the priority list for him, at the very least.

She gleefully smiled, still having her arms wrapped around his neck.

”Then… Iʼll wait for you.”

”When did we have a relationship?” Davis raised his brows.

”Shut up~ Youʼre mine.”

Vereina pecked his cheek with lightning speed and, threw herself to the side and flew away, ”I told you I would prove myself worthy to you and would pursue you. Expect my next visit to be much more relentless~”

Her gleeful voice echoed before she disappeared from his view. She was extremely fast. She was an Empyrean, after all. Moreover, she was already at the Level Two Empyrean Stage. Her cultivation was insanely fast. All she needed was soul essences and her physique to get to a higher grade in order to support the rapid rate of improvement, and she got it right now.

If she had wanted, she could even force a kiss or even push him and have her way with him.

If he fought back, that would be dangerous as he would need to use the black-white stone.

Davis rubbed the crimson hickey from his cheek. It seemed Vereina was really serious about him, making him unable to ignore her feelings.

He could only wryly smile since he was suffering from success.

Now, even queens like Rakshira, Skylia, and perhaps even Yufella wanted him. He didnʼt think they loved him. However, he knew they had taken a good look at him, had seen his accomplishments, and decided he would be the father to their children.

From seeing Mira, he knew that was how most female magical beasts thought.

And they were really amazing in his perspective, their auras dazzling. It would be a lie if he said he didnʼt envision sleeping with them.

However, all that was shut down because he could be obsessed with one thing.

He returned to the mansion and talked to Mingzhi and Nightveil about his encounter with Dark Archbishop Cyprusio. His avatar was comprehending battle techniques, so it couldnʼt be brought out at the moment.

After informing them, he checked up on Evelynn and Nadia.

For the past six days, when he was here, he had been playing a lot with Azariel and Viridia. At the same time, he also took care of Styx, Noctis, and Ragna. These children were together most of the time.

After all, Nadia had some difficulty being a mother to fey children, so she moved in with Evelynn, who taught her the ropes.

After spending some time with them, he left and headed towards the alchemy chamber.

He waited for them to open the door, but no one came even after ten minutes.

Usually, he wouldʼve left knowing that Tina and Dalila were working hard. However, he could no longer take it and pushed it open, breaking the door.

”Ah!~”

Tina and Dalila were startled, their heads snapping toward the broken door. They saw Davis, their expressions turning embarrassed as they blushed.

Davis was also startled.

He looked at them.

One was dressed in a pristine white robe that now bore smudges of black soot, while the other wore a purple robe, equally marred by the black soot. Their appearances were dubious at best—faces smeared with streaks of soot, hair frazzled as though a small explosion had gone off, and faint trails of smoke rising from the table behind them.

Both stared wide-eyed, caught in the midst of their messy experimentation.

”Hoho…”

Davis laughed amusedly as he entered and force locked the door behind him with soul force. He looked around and saw the mess these pill fairies created inside.

”Just how many experiments did you two fail?”

”…”

Tina and Dalila looked at each other. Dalila returned her gaze and raised her hand, showing five fingers.

”Five? That canʼt be right. Is it fifty?”

Davis raised his brows as he looked at them, causing the two pill fairies to nod embarrassedly.

”What kind of pill are you creating here?”

Tina and Dalila shook their heads, indicating that they wouldnʼt tell him. They remained silent as though they were using some kind of marital right.

Davis looked around. Considering the ingredients involved, he didnʼt think it was the chaos-destruction pill or any other pill he knew about. However, based on the makeup of the attributes of the ingredients, he could tell it should be a flame-attributed pill.

Since flame-attributed pills were mostly berserk, he could understand why they would fail so many times, and considering Tina and Dalilaʼs abilities, he guessed they must be making a truly remarkable pill. It should be at Mid-Level Empyrean Grade at the very least.

Nonetheless, he didnʼt care what they were making as long as they were safe.

”Alright, Tina, come with me. I have something to talk to you about.”

Davis turned around to leave, beckoning her to follow.

”Wait. Can it be later?” Tina appeared hesitant, ”Iʼm really busy now, almost on the precipice of completing the recipe.”

”I see.” Davis lowered his head, ”Then I guess it canʼt be helped…”

”I…” Tina wanted to explain, but she bit her lips and stopped herself.

What she was making was a mysterious pill. If she said it, it might not come true. Even she and Dalila were working on this without communicating the slightest bit. That was why they had made so many mistakes. That was why they were cooped up so long, not accepting any visitors.

She could only watch Davis leave, feeling guilty.

ʼItʼs fine… I will go see him later and apologize… even kneel if I have to…ʼ Tina thought as she closed her eyes. She couldnʼt bear to see him leave.

”Husband~”

Suddenly, Dalila called out.

It made Davis stop as he turned to look back.

”Tina was waiting for you before we started this pill concoction session…” Dalila pursed her lips.

”You…”

Tina looked at Dalila, wondering if this was fine, but Dalila merely smiled. She returned his gaze to Davis.

”You should take her-”

Before she could finish, Davisʼs figure disappeared.

Dalila turned her head and saw Davis standing in front of Tina. He caught her willowy waist and pulled her closer, leaning to take her velvety lips.

”Mhn~”

Tinaʼs eyes shot wide. It took her a moment to realize she was kissed. At the same time, a tongue pried her mouth open, sneaking its way into her and making her a mess.

”No, Iʼm so dirty…” Tina sent a soul transmission, but Davis looked hungry.

”Just the right flavor to the feast I badly wanted.”

His passionate voice echoed inside Tinaʼs soul sea, making her defenses collapse.
