Divine Emperor of Death

"As expected, most people around him aren't ordinary."

"But they aren't monstrous either." Echoed a nonchalant voice in Ellia's soul sea.

It was none other than Myria, causing Ellia to nod.

"True. I just hope they aren't there to backstab him in the future."

"Hahaha~" A peal of musical laughter rang in their soul sea, "What makes you say that we won't kill him in the future?"

Ellia's brows narrowed.

"Hmph! Don't even talk about it."

"Still, to use this last remaining unrestricted time I gave you to help Dalila, you've really taken a liking to her, huh."

"…"

Hearing Myria's words, Ellia went silent for a few seconds before she uttered.

"This girl… she really reminds me of my old self. Being talented yet unable to release my own light because I felt so inferior in front of his bright presence… just like how you find someone relatable..."

"Not even close..." Myria's voice became somewhat colder, causing Ellia to shrug.

"Whatever."

She turned around and flew into the distance, intending to leave the Grand Alstreim City.

"Let's get back to the Mystic Ice Sect now. They've also made some drastic improvements that need to be checked on while we have to improve our Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation. Isn't this good, not hastily leaving this space just to walk into unknown territory that could easily cause us to die a vain death?"

"Who knows what lies ahead? Unexpectedly, our hope could be on the other end."

"Heh! If we really did leave and find salvation there, then it's good for you. As for me, don't even try to change my mind. Letting him die here means you could just kill me and be done with it. You won't have to be babysitting us anymore nor worried about getting killed easily."

"You… stubborn… hmph!"

Myria sounded like she was almost about to curse before she closed her mouth, taking over the body's control from Ellia instead as she shot towards the Mystic Ice Palace. As for Ellia, only her giggling voice kept echoing in their soul sea, making Myria want to pull out her own hair as her eyes almost turned bloodshot.

Nowadays, she could feel Ellia becoming bolder and more stubborn than ever before.

The funny thing was, even if Myria wanted to kill Ellia, could she?

Not anymore, not while Davis had her targeted through that damned treasure. If she wanted to live, then she needed to keep Ellia alive as well.

=========

"So Dalila, I heard that you're going to become a vastly superior alchemist than me? How are you feeling after hearing this-"

"Ahh~ Stop teasing me!~~"

Dalila raised her hands and closed Tina's mouth, looking as though she was almost going to cry.

Besides them, Davis had a good laugh as he saw them playing around. However, he couldn't help but say.

"Dalila, tell her that you're going to defeat her in Alchemy once and for all. Show her who's the big sister in Alchemy."

Dalila glanced at Davis as she bit her lips, appearing like she did not know what to say as she blushed. However, she returned her gaze to Tina while possessing a complex expression on her face.

"I'm not going to defeat Tina."

Dalila uttered, causing Davis and Tina to narrow their brows. However, Dalila's lips only paused for a moment.

"I'm not going to defeat Tina. However, I'm going to cooperate with her and bring our alchemy knowledge to the highest peak ever!"

Dalila clenched her teeth, letting go of Tina before she stared at Davis, "If the youths are the foundation of a power, then pills are the nutrition to supplement the foundation. I swear that I will become a Venerate and beyond, allowing our Davis Family to prosper with excellent nutrition."

"I- I'll help as well!"

Looking at Dalila becoming serious, Tina frantically yelled out, afraid to be left behind.

"Well said."

Davis walked and stood before Dalila, patting her head while he possessed a satisfied expression on his face, "If you think I don't have any sort of affection towards you, you're mistaken. I liked you when I met your prideful self at the Alchemy Competition, so don't be gloomy and cheer up. I will marry you as I promised. There's no need to hurry or prove yourself by overexerting yourself, so just take your time, mingle with the others as well, get to know them."

He shot a look at Tina before smiling at Dalila again, "I'm sure you'll find it exciting here, unlike the gloomy life you're living now. When you fell in love with me, this kind of secluded life with an alchemy partner is not what you wished for, right?"

Dalila looked at his bright smile with a stunned expression on his face.

"Then, later. Dalila and Tina, take care of yourselves."

"You too, dear~"

Tina gently smiled, but Dalila was unable to reply as they watched him leave.

*Bang~*

The door closed on them, causing them to come out of their reverie. Tina dropped her waving hand and turned her head, staring at Dalila silently shed a few tears. She couldn't help but smile as she stood before her, holding her hands.

"Don't blame him for not being with us all the time, okay? He's honest and serious about us, and that's why he hasn't touched you, nor has he made me his woman yet, waiting for the right time."

"Uh?" Dalila became shocked.

"What? Didn't you hear what I said?"

"You… truly haven't been taken by him yet…?"

"No." Tina smilingly shook her head, "Is there anything wrong with it?"

"It can't be." Dalila's voice was full of disbelief, "Even Tanya, Zestria, and Bylai have truly become his women. How come you... who appeared before them in his life... still…?"

"It can't be helped." Tina let out a gentle sigh, "Their circumstances were different, led by complex feelings of hate and love. The only way for love to win in that kind of situation is for them to exchange love, naked..."

"That may be true for Zestria and Bylai, but what about Tanya?"

"Tanya? She was not honest about loving him, trying to play it off that she didn't, so he made her know her true feelings. As for us, he knows that we wholeheartedly love him, so to reciprocate our love, he's treating us right, waiting to marry and then touch us properly. Otherwise, would you like to be treated like a plaything and then let off here to make pills for him?"

"Ah~ no…!" Dalila turned frantic, "I don't want that kind of life!"

"See?" Tina raised one of her brows, looking smug, "Since we're in the position to help him as soon as our cultivations near his cultivation, that's how it would be like if he were to touch us. Besides, he was the one who asked us to make pills for him, so he couldn't distract us. So do you now believe-"

"He loves me! He loves us!"

Dalila shuddered, appearing excited as she caused Tina to smile deeply.

"Indeed."

Dalila's facial expression was no longer gloomy or hiding a complex feeling in her heart. It seemed like she now fully understood what was going on here, the cloud looming over her heart, having finally vanished from hearing both their words.

On the other hand, although Tina said these things like a mature woman, she turned around and inwardly cried craving Davis's touch.

=========

Davis exited the room and saw that no one was there, having moved back to their rooms. However, he quickly sensed two figures outside the palace.

"Perfect…"

With a blatant smile, he took a step forwards and flew towards them.

=========

"Is this good!?"

"No! A little more to the left! Yes, we're good now."

*Boom!~*

A dust cloud surged before quickly settling when a thirty-meter tall statue was erected right on top of a platform near the outer edges of the Mortal Hex Emperor Palace. The crimson-robed woman who fixed the statue in position approached the golden-robed woman who was giving directions before she turned around and looked at the tall statue, their expressions becoming full of love and pride.

"Bylai, can you make statues of us too?"

"Sure, Zestria." Bylai shot an amused look as she grinned, "I'd been thinking about sculpting statues for all of us as well. It's just that I was too focused on cultivation that I didn't have time for hobbies."

"Same," Zestria wryly smiled, "And even when I exit seclusion, he isn't there, and when he is there, one of our sisters monopolizes him. Even now, he chose to ignore every one of us in the hall and took Tina and Dalila inside a room as though he was in a hurry, probably teaching them Alchemy before having to take care of many things. I guess we won't be seeing him this month as we'll be returning to seclusion."

"It can't be helped. He's like the Founder of this family, so he has to do everything..."

"True…"

Bylai and Zestria kept nodding their heads, their smiles fading out when suddenly their expressions changed.

*Paah!~*

"Ahh!~"

Bylai and Zestria jumped as they held their butts, feeling the slap imprinted in their very souls that they quickly knew who it was as they turned to look around.

"D-Davis…"

Their expressions quickly became awkward, wondering if he heard them conversing about him and got mad. However, they saw him possess a sly smile on his face as though he had thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of their plump ass before he turned around and flew away.

"Follow me, my Dragon Queens."

"…"

Bylai and Zestria didn't hesitate to move and follow him even though their curiosity and ass were aching slightly. They exited the Grand Alstreim City and began to fly over the vast plains at high speed.
