Divine Emperor of Death

"Candy!"

Mira jumped out and glared at Fairy Aila Cherryweave while drooling.

She had certainly tasted cotton candies from Mingzhi and even stole a fire-attributed candy from Calypsea although she got burned at the tail for it nonetheless, she knew the taste and wanted one.

*Bonk~*

Davis palmed Mira's head as he stopped her and looked at Fairy Aila Cherryweave.

"I get it that you're pure, Aila. Otherwise, you wouldn't be on the Celestial Fairy Rankings. However, what do you mean by cotton candy…?"

Davis became intrigued but also amused as he knew this must be embarrassing for Fairy Aila Cherryweave to confess.

"I have heard about the Rosy Cotton Rabbit that has went nearly extinct for its allegedly sweet flesh, only to be preserved by a group of people and it so happened to be your Cherryweave Family. Regardless, do you have a small tail that looks like cotton candy no one knows of? Can it be detached anytime you want and eaten?"

"Ah!~"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave's cheeks were crimson as she heard Davis pursue this matter. She held her hands before her bosoms, trembling with embarrassment etched all over her face.

"It's not like that… I don't have a tail or any other features for that matter except for my short stature."

"Aoao~" Mira cried out in despair.

However, Davis raised his brows but continued to listen.

"My fey blood is thin. It only rose within due to the Silken Cherry Physique appearing in my body, achieving equilibrium with it. My father thought if we could increase the amount of Rosy Cotton Rabbit's blood within me, my physique could get stronger, but when they imbued more of the Rosy Cotton Rabbit's blood essence within me, my Silken Cherry Physique started showing signs of instability. They had to quickly drain my blood in order to avoid an accident."

"Therefore, my magical beast blood continues to remain at nine percent while the Cherryweave Bloodline remains at ninety-one percent. Ordinarily, with that kind of paltry magical beast blood, I would remain a human, but due to my physique fusing with the magical beast blood, I became a fey."

"…"

"This is the first time I'm hearing a physique interfering with the blood composition of a human. So you're saying that this Silken Cherry Physique has mutated into a fey physique like the legendary True Dragon Body Physique and Ancient Phoenix Body Physique?"

"Yes, although the examples you pointed out are mythical fey physiques, and there has been no record of such a fey being born into the world."

'Not here, of course…' Davis smiled as he inwardly thought.

To Aila, they may be mythical, but to him, they were Empyrean or Autarch Grade Physiques. To be born with that would be to gain a one-way ticket to supremacy. He knew this from the memories of the supreme geniuses he encountered from the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm.

It was a legend even there, so he guessed that such a person must be from the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy.

The Celestial Transcendent Galaxy was comprised of many Upper Realms, Lower Realms, and Minor Realms, but the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy was also a realm called the Celestial Transcendent Greater Realm. As far as he knew, there were too many powerful people there, and they defended the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy from the other seven Galaxies, rarely bothering to move to lower realms.

They were at the forefront of humanity, the first line of defense.

The universe was never a peaceful place to begin with, and with Myria additionally mentioning the existence of the Asura Dimension, where quadrillions of corpses lay, he could only imagine the scale of the universe and the resources that allowed a certain few individuals with physiques like the True Dragon Body and Ancient Phoenix Body to be born.

"Then you should rename your Silken Cherry Physique since it's no longer the same."

"I like it the way it is." Fairy Aila Cherryweave pouted, "It's not like I could improve it, considering that I cannot increase the amount of blood essence and risk collapse."

"What about increasing the quality than the quantity?" Davis suggested.

"King-Tier Rosy Cotton Rabbit?" Fairy Aila Cherryweave's lips curled wryly, "If such a magical beast were to appear, it would be worshiped in my Cherryweave Family like a guardian deity, so without its permission, I would not be able to obtain its blood essence."

Davis blinked, "Do you have a Rosy Cotton Rabbit?"

"In my childhood, yes. When I was targeted by assassins, it jumped in front of an attack to protect me and inevitably died. From then on, I haven't taken another Rosy Cotton Rabbit as my pet…"

Her voice turned sad, and she went silent.

"I see…"

Davis nodded. Some people tend to make the emotions they share with a few individuals irreplaceable, whether it be a loved one or a pet.

Lea was also the same. She had lost her Burning Phoenix to an ambush by the opposing faction and never took a magical beast companion again. She could take Freya as the compatibility between them was high, and Shirley would be glad to let her go, but Lea didn't want Freya.

He had always thought why, but he later understood that it was because some feelings were irreplaceable.

Although it wasn't the same with him, he also followed such a principle that he wouldn't dare replace his loved ones with anyone.

He wouldn't replace Evelynn with anyone.

She would forever remain his first love and his first wife. The same way, he wouldn't replace Aila either as she would remain his twenty-eighth wife since he decided to accept her and was committed to her the moment she left her home.

He wanted them all, full and thoroughly. Such an emotion couldn't be described properly, and if he did try, he would sound like nothing more than a hedonistic individual as the other half was supposed to be irreplaceable, but he had many other halves.

The way he saw it, his other half was occupied by twenty-seven motes within, all irreplaceable, and it just grew to twenty-eight, as if they were multiplying by cell division.

He couldn't help but think of Yotan, wondering when she would accept being his twenty-seventh wife. He kept missing the chance to ask her out, but she was also busy nowadays with cultivation.

In fact, she was cultivating extra hard, knowing that they were going to ascend when the Candidacy ended. He had placed a heavy burden on her shoulders since she was still the Legion Commander of the Reaper Soul Legion.

"Sorry," Davis quickly returned his focus to Fairy Aila Cherryweave, "I didn't mean to bring out depressing emotions when I just forced you to make a difficult choice of abandoning your family."

"It's fine…"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave smiled lightly, "I knew they weren't going to accept us as it took me immense wealth and adamance to send those letters out against all odds. I didn't send a hundred letters but a hundred and twenty-four, and some swiped without my knowledge. So I saw this coming but never had the courage to leave until you placed the choice before me…"

"…"

"I'm only afraid that I betrayed my father and mother, who looked after me so much, and my dead grandpa, who hoped for me to live happily after saving me from that assassination." Fairy Aila Cherryweave bit her lips before she gave Davis a bright smile.

"Other than that— I'm looking forward to beginning my life with you~"

She stood up, walking to the edge of the deck before she took a deep breath, her bosoms puffing up like her cheeks before she screamed out.

"I'm now nothing but a poor Celestial Fairy at the whim of an Anarchic Divergent, and I hope that Anarchic Divergent, the love of my life, will shower me with lots and lots of love."

"…"

Davis couldn't help but smile widely.

Her cuteness was beyond what he could endure, and she didn't even use her charms on him yet, making him wonder how badly she would make him swoon for her. He wouldn't have been able to resist kissing her and even making love if he wasn't in his avatar form.
