Divine Emperor of Death

"Celestia… you need to stop pulling on my hair while trying to eat it… It's not tasty..."

"Eterna… hold your sister tightly..."

"Aha… ride Dada!"

"Nyo~ Tame Dada!~"

It wasn't long before Eterna and Celestia tamed Davis and used him as a horse to go in circles around their mothers.

Davis was shocked that his children could articulate somewhat this early while their words made him wonder if Isabella and Shirley had already carried them around in this manner.

Watching this scene, Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley couldn't help but constantly giggle. The latter two had an expression full of warmth and gratitude because they had always wished Davis would be this gentle to their children and not become a father who doesn't have time to see them.

As imperial princesses, they knew how discomforting and lonely it would be not to be able to see their fathers. The only way they could have unrestricted access to their imperial fathers was to prove themselves in both talent and combat. Otherwise, fathers who were responsible for many children simply had no time for them because they were busy themselves.

They didn't wish for Davis to become like their imperial fathers.

As for them…

Obviously, they weren't with their children all the time as they had their cultivations to take care of, but their Solitary Soul Avatars took care of them, so it was the same, fortunately. It was just when it was time to breastfeed Eterna and Celestia after the week's worth of milk bottles ended up becoming empty, they would step out of seclusion to feed them with fresh milk and restore the stock to feed them for a week, repeating the process so that all parties tended to gain.

This was one such time, and they had been playing around, but for Davis to appear without any hint whatsoever, they were deeply moved.

Davis played with Eterna and Celestia until they got tired and went to sleep as children would. Until then, it was full of peals of laughter and tears.

Only after he put them in their cradles did he return his focus to Isabella and Shirley.

"I apologize. I wanted to make it up to them as their father."

"Mhmhm~" Isabella shook her head, "Just watching it was fun."

"Next time, we'll join you."

Shirley winked as she giggled. However, she turned to look elsewhere.

"It should've been just ten days outside. Evelynn, you haven't become an immortal yet?"

Evelynn's expression became painted with some dejection before she explained.

She had just finished explaining when Nadia also jumped out of Davis's soul sea as she fell into Isabella's embrace. The next moment, a few yelps rang out before Nadia enjoyed the cuddles she was showered with.

Even her Emperor-Tier arrogance was quenched when she was near Evelynn, as it helped her mitigate her instincts.

Perhaps this small form was the best after all, or so she thought as she enjoyed more caresses.

Davis looked at them treat Nadia like she was truly their pet. The danger she possessed, no human would ever dare to treat her like this, causing him to shake his head as he chuckled.

While it was Shirley's turn to enthusiastically cuddle Nadia, he turned to look at Isabella and opened his mouth.

"Isabella, do you recall how we spoke about getting some King-Tier Blood from the Earth Dragon Clan later on if it was possible?"

"Uh? Yes…"

Isabella's cheeks slightly blushed. Why was he bringing up a topic that was discussed when they were going at it like feral beasts above the bed?

"Scratch that. Now two of you need that blood essence about right now, so I'll prioritize it by getting a method from Myria to evolve an Earth Dragon to King-Tier Bloodline..."

"…" Isabella's beautiful face was throbbing with emotion as she smiled, "You mean to administer on Evelynn?"

"Yes, but there is a little problem..."

Davis's face fell as he explained how Mira should be considered the subject, causing Isabella to react with hesitance written all over her face.

"Let me get this straight. So you want to raise Mira's bloodline to King-Tier Bloodline and then extract blood essences from her? But you'll heal her later on after you get enough blood essences for the both of us?"

"Yes…" Davis put his head down for lack of a better alternative.

"I refuse."

Isabella coldly uttered before she unceremoniously turned towards Evelynn and bowed, "Big sister, I respect you so much, but I can't sacrifice Mira for both of our advancements. I promise I'll find another way for you to get the King-Tier dragon blood, even if it means delaying my cultivation. Otherwise, Mira would die two or three times before she could accommodate our needs. Even if Davis can heal her to full health, I can't watch… Mira… undergo… such pain."

By the time Isabella finished, tears had shaded the tiles.

"Third sister, don't be like this… If you say you won't, then we won't… That's all there is to it."

Evelynn hurriedly held Isabella's shoulders, making her stand up straight while Isabella bit her lips as she looked at Davis.

"Forgive me… Mira is a good child… I can't..."

Davis didn't say anything because his plan really was that cruel.

He was absolutely sure that he would not let Mira die because he could revive her, and with his life energy, he could restore her blood essence. Basically, he could milk any magical beast's blood, except the torture that magical beast would experience was truly hurtful and could even be said to be vicious.

This was really the quickest way he could come up with, and that's why he needed Isabella and Mira's consent for this plan to work.

Raising his head, he nodded, "Alright, I'll look for a better alternative."

"I'm sorry..." Isabella bowed again, feeling like she was ruining everything.

This plan also had Mira reaching King-Tier, so Mira would benefit in the end. However, with Isabella not giving her approval, no one gained anything. She truly hated herself at this moment for being a hindrance to Evelynn's path to immortality. However, she just couldn't watch Mira lose two sets of complete blood essences while in extreme pain, which originally shouldn't even be possible for any entity in this world.

"No need to feel so bad. I'm aware that I was just putting forth a cruel suggestion, so don't mind it, as it's my fault for making you feel guilty. As for the other plan, it would take some more time, but with the Earth Dragon Eggs you have-"

Davis had just apologized and put forth the other alternative when a ray of brownish-golden light shot out from Isabella's soul sea, landing in between them.

"I'll do it..."

"What?"

Davis blinked at the golden-robed woman who appeared in front of him. She possessed a similar body type to Isabella, curvaceous yet daring with her wonderful cleavage on display. However, she clenched her teeth and fist, a fierce light shining in her golden eyes full of determination.

"I'll follow master's plan. Turn me into a King-Tier Magical Beast and extract as much blood essence as you can from me. If it's for my mistress, I'll do it! I'll do anything to make her strong…!"

Evelynn, Shirley, and Isabella became shocked, while Davis felt like he had seen Mira for the first time in his life.
