Divine Emperor of Death

Davis shortly exited the realm with Stella, and she couldn't help but stick with him. She held his arm with pursed lips, appearing satisfied.

"That was a good adventure. I hope we can always be together to experience much more~"

Sitting in a flying boat, she sat by his side closely, looking delighted. She was facing him, expecting a reply with her lips slightly parted that became fatal to Davis.

Davis had music playing in his mind when he heard her delighted voice, but his heart quickened when he saw her vulnerable lips. He knew she was practically presenting herself to him again and again, causing him to lean and take her cherry lips.

"Uhn…!"

Stella shuddered ever so lightly. For the first time in her life, she understood what romantic meant slightly as their gaze matched and that urge to connect overwhelmed her, causing her to look all fuzzy as she tried to signal him and she was happy that she got what she wanted. She carefully tried to reciprocate, her lips carefully trying to match his pace.

It made her heart race. Everything she had experienced was pain from feeling love as she was afraid he would leave her but now, she was finally able to taste the happiness in the form of a kiss.

She had seen it many times while she had been growing as a tree in the Void Dust Secret Realm but finally getting to experience it, she wanted to dance but her lips automatically moved in search for more of this soft, plushy feeling that she felt like she could get addicted from.

"You naughty tree. You finally succeeded in seducing me…"

After an entire minute, Davis removed his lips from hers and embraced her, his lips near her ear as he whispered.

Stella smiled sweetly. She didn't seem drunk in pleasure, but her cheeks were red as she fully wrapped her arms around him and tightly held, lying on his shoulder with a peaceful expression on her face.

"I won't give up. I want you. I want to experience happiness with you, being in love and bearing fruits for you- but I don't want to give up my mother."

"Fine with me." Davis kissed her cheek softly, "I'll try my best to forgive Saintess Lunaria, but if she doesn't apologize sincerely, don't blame me."

"Mhm~"

Stella kissed his cheek back, her purple eyes glowing like stars as though she was satisfied with this deal.

Davis let her go, and she ran to the deck and spread her hands, disabling the air resistance with her Space Laws. She enjoyed being bombarded by the wind as her hair flailed. She had an eternal smile full of innocence, causing Davis to satisfactorily nod his head, even though the speed of the flying boat had considerably slowed down. Having dual cultivation didn't seem to be her main intent. If not, she would've definitely pounced on him, so he knew she had some list of things to do or had to obtain before she finally made it there.

He remembered Fairy Wix's words and knew she would ask him when it was time.

'She needs the energy of nine Void Dust Tree Fruits to give birth… so how much does she need if she has me…?'

Davis wondered, but obviously, he couldn't ask her with a straight face as that was no different than asking a woman about her period cycle. Besides, he doubted she knew since her mother didn't interact with a human male either.

'That means trial and error…'

His face turned wicked, imagining all types of positions with her as he made her moan on the bed and even in front of her main body, possibly giving her more warmth.

However, Stella's perseverance also taught him something.

'I can worry about Evelynn and the others and still take care of the needs of others without guilt-tripping myself…'

She was worried about her mother but still wanted to be together with him, so if he didn't accept her, he could only imagine how her face would wilt. His women were also worried about Evelynn and the others, so it wasn't fair that only he acted like he cared more and left them unattended.

Perhaps going out to kill has also cleared his mind a bit, knowing he should soothe their hearts as soon as possible.

"I finally obtained a man!"

Stella came running back, her lips curled into a victorious smile, "This makes me better than mother."

"…"

Davis wasn't sure how that worked, but he nodded, "You are exceptional, nurtured with care, so of course, you would be better than your mother."

"Shishi~"

She giggled, looking proud.

"So… am I considered your wife?"

"Yes, but no. The Harem Council is limiting me from directly accepting you but don't worry, they know you and I will see to that they vote in favor."

"Oh~"

Davis reassured her, causing her to come sit by him again and grab his hand as though not wanting to be separated.

He continued answering her questions for the rest of the journey, reassuring her.

Despite her carefree nature, he could feel her want to be accepted by all his people. In his standards, she was a good woman who would fit in his harem quite well but more than that, she had long captured his heart when she prioritized him over anything.

Now that he had cleared the clouds in his mind, he knew he was looking to bring her into his harem one day, but he wasn't fully convinced she needed him until today.

The Divine Jade Cicada Fruit itself wasn't what shot his heart but her sweet intentions behind it, and today, her determination to come with him fully toppled him.

"Come, let's get you settled here."

Davis arrived at his Calamitous City and descended with Stella while holding her hand.

Stella nodded. By settling in, she had to create a mini realm here, so she hoped that space would be stable enough to handle a mini realm in Davis's mansion.

'Hopefully, his bedroom….'

Stella secretly thought.

She didn't go far as to pounce on Davis because she could sense a layer of hesitance as though he didn't want to harm her by embracing her. Her mother also said to be careful of human emotions as it was way more complex and seems to be volatile when it comes to love, so even while seducing him, she didn't go too far.

She wanted to understand him more.
