Divine Emperor of Death

"But wait...! Hear me out..."

Niera Alstreim abruptly continued, "Please don't become mad... I heard that children would mostly inherit talent according to the level of laws we have comprehended and the cultivation stage we have reached. So... I was thinking... that if we could have... children... it should be at the Ninth Stage... or at least, the Eighth Stage..."

Niera's expression was utterly crimson in embarrassment. She had just reunited with her father, but she did not expect that she would be talking to her love about making babies when they hadn't even made love yet, much less in front of everyone who could hear her!

On the other hand, Davis bitterly smiled.

She was saying what he was about to say, making him feel complicated.

Just as he was about to give a reply, a voice echoed.

"You two... It's extremely inappropriate for you to be like this in front of us when you aren't even married yet."

Ezekiel Alstreim bellowed, causing Niera Alstreim to panic as she separated from him, still red-faced.

Davis turned to look at Ezekiel Alstreim as he chuckled.

These people in front of him were hardcore monogamists who were reasonably mad at him for taking their priceless gem. They were utterly loyal to their women and conservative in being intimate openly that they were already finding his actions inappropriate when he and Niera were just embracing each other, talking about their future.

'Okay, talking about making babies had gone a bit too far...'

Nevertheless, he decided not to quarrel as he could feel their reluctance.

"As I said, I'll only be taking the four of you outside. For others, they can stay until-"

"I heard you, but are you sure that you do not want the Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Experts at the very least to come with us?" Ezekiel Alstreim interrupted, "They could reach and fill many places that we are unable to keep in the layers of our minds all the time..."

"The risks they possess outweighs the protection they could give to the current Alstreim Family. If only you and your family came out, it would make sense that they would think that you protected them while facing life and death situations, but if a few others pop out along with you all, it's going to get immensely suspicious. Of course, if you have a secret child you want to take out, I could always make an exception..." Davis smirked.

"You..!"

Ezekiel Alstreim's expression flared as he clenched his teeth, pointing at Davis before he dropped his hand and folded his arms, looking unwilling to talk.

Shouldn't he even get mad or beat Davis? He felt like he was at a serious disadvantage against a little brat, making him feel frustrated.

"You're always trying to be funny when you're not..." He harrumphed while Davis shook his head.

"I was serious. I really don't know how you managed to keep your loyalty for all these years. Centuries have passed since you died in the eyes of the public, and not even one illicit affair? You and your wife have my huge respect..."

Davis sounded awed, but to Ezekiel Alstreim, it sounded as if he was mocking, making him feel complicated as he couldn't understand if it were former or the latter.

"Elise... I want to see her..." He uttered with a complicated glint in his eyes.

All this reunion made him a bit desperate. There was actually a way to the other side, but it was only through this brat. At this moment, he had no choice but to lower his head instead of forcing him.

"Well, finish what you all have to do here, and we can be on our way."

Davis shrugged while the others nodded.

They moved, looking as if they were going to get some things, while Ezekiel Alstreim summoned the entire settlement to the town hall, wanting to tell them about their departure.

Davis had no problem with that as he felt that as long as these people stayed here if they knew the secrets of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Immortal Inheritance, it wouldn't make a difference. According to the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal, these people were basically destined to die here unless he leads them out.

He turned to look at Niera as he couldn't help but smile as he raised his hand.

"Come here..."

He motioned with his finger, causing her to shyly smile as she shook her head, looking very adorable.

"If you won't, then I'll come to you..."

*Whoosh!~*

Davis disappeared and appeared in front of her, his sneaky arms twisting around her waist as he held her close. Niera trembled as he felt his touch. As she looked at his sapphire eyes, her trembling stopped. Her hands automatically reached to his shoulders as she tightly held on to them and closed her eyes as if waiting for something.

Davis leaned and placed a gentle kiss on her rosy lips as he responded to her passionate feelings. It left a relishing taste in their mouths. Their lips separated the next second, their mesmerizing eyes looking at each other in silence before Niera could no longer take the emotions that were swelling inside her. She clenched his collars and hid her face over his chest.

"You... you really came back..."

Davis's hands held her trembling body.

"You thought I wouldn't come back...?"

"I don't know..." Niera sniffled, "I was just really scared..."

Davis could fully understand her feelings. What she did was take a leap of faith in trusting him, and that was no more of a suicidal move. Suppose if he was evil or even truly calculative that prioritized his self-gain, she would be truly miserable even if she was living alongside him in the end.

One of his hands couldn't help but move to caress her back to console her.

"Make no mistake... I love you, Niera. It's just that I don't love you as much as I love my wives."

Davis pushed her slightly back as he caught her chin and raised it to see him to his level, "But I'm rather confident that I could love you as much as I love them after I bring you out of this place and make you mine in a true sense."

Niera's expression that had just frozen from hearing his initial statement, relaxed as she let out an embarrassed smile.

"You... That's rather obvious... I wouldn't have believed you if you said that you had loved me more than them. I would look down on you instead..."

Davis chuckled, finding her understanding more to his liking.

"Hey! I had just gone to take back my luxuries, and you're already embracing my daughter. Shoo!~ I already allowed my first daughter to become your father's woman, but I can't possibly allow for you two to be like this without you officially marrying her in front of the public's eyes."

Davis and Niera turned to look at Nero Alstreim, who returned with his wife.

Niera panicked as she didn't want to be seen as a bad girl that she moved away, but only a little bit as he captured her hand, not willing to leave. Davis looked amused as he turned towards Niera.

"Niera, didn't I tell you? Your father is opposed to our relationship."

"Father... You told me that if Davis's words were true that you wouldn't mind..."

Niera looked as if she was going to cry as her lips trembled.

Nero Alstreim has stumped once again as he shot a glaring look at Davis. This brat was just too manipulative in a way that he had all their weak points in check. He almost exploded but kept his calm.

"Davis, you can't be serious..."

Hearing the exasperated tone, Davis knew that he was almost crossing the limits. A father's genuine affection and care towards his daughter shouldn't be tested time and time again. Davis knew that Nero Alstreim was only worried about the fate of his two daughters being subjected to possible mistreatment in the Loret Family.

"Fine, fine... I-"

"Wait!"

A female voice suddenly resounded, causing everyone to blink as they turned to look at Keira Alstreim.

"Davis, I had once approved of you, and my opinion still remains the same. You can have Niera, but know that you cannot have any intimacy with her until you marry her, is what I would've liked to say before, but it's really ungrateful of us to doubt your love towards Niera when you're taking us out of this cursed space, and are already doing your best for both sides to co-exist."

Keira Alstreim bit her lips as she cast a deep look, "Thank you, son-in-law. I approve of your relationship with Niera even if the marriage is a little bit away..."

"Keira, you...!" Nero Alstreim became astonished while Keira stared back at him.

"Did husband thank him even once?"

Nero Alstreim's expression became awkward as he blushed.

Did he or did he not? He really could not remember at this moment that he couldn't help but shut up. He could only remember that even before he was about to kowtow, Davis stopped as if knowing that he was going to kowtow. It was completely bizarre that he didn't think much afterward.

"Davis, it's not like I'm rebuking my husband, but I'm of the same opinion as him. I would like it more if you could marry her before you become intimate with her. That would make us worrywarts more assured, but if you think otherwise, you're free to do as you please as we believe you'll take care of her more than us."

Keira Alstreim awkwardly smiled as she pursed her lips, looking as if she were awaiting his reply.

Davis's expression looked complex as he opened his mouth.

"I..."
