Divine Emperor of Death

Davis, Dian Alstreim, Tirea Snow, and the Silverwinds had a long discussion of how to proceed with announcing their marriage, while Davis also shed a few details of his plan on dealing with the Towering Cloud Hall. Mival Silverwind was rather impressed with the plan as he praised Davis before they all concluded that they were alright with the things they have discussed.

Later, it was decided that the marriage between Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow would be announced after the Dragon Queen came out of seclusion, which was six, no, five months later. Until then, Davis felt that he could relax a bit before he came back to cultivate and concentrate on matters like the Ancestors' wedding.

However, it wasn't just like he was just dropping all matters to enjoy carnal pleasure and love.

Isabella is significant to him in his life, and it was even more so to his cultivation when he acknowledged that she held a massive boost to his physical might with her virgin yin essence. In reality, he was still going back to cultivate if he looked at this from a different perspective. However, he cared more about the woman with his character than some benefits he got from that woman. Otherwise, he wouldn't have married Evelynn or Natalya, for that matter, because they were weaker than him.

If he had concentrated on benefits, he would've purely gone after Shirley and Isabella, and perhaps even Sect Master Lea Weiss for the primal yin essence they all held. Other than the value they held as a person, the value they held in their purity was immense that most Ninth Stage Powerhouses would start a war for it if they said they were looking for a man or something similar.

A few minutes later, Davis returned to the Purple Guest Palace before he saw that Natalya and Sophie had already begun the process of absorbing the Golden Asparagus Flame Shoot, intending to have a breakthrough into the Law Dominion Stage while congealing a Perfect Domain.

He did not disturb them but instead went to meet his parents, who had gone to see Edgar Alstreim.

When he arrived, he saw that the door was open and entered after a knock. He saw the adults discussing while Tia was playing with baby Evan as she made weird faces while he tried to reach out his hands, giggling with a cute smile.

"Oh? You're not busy with your women?"

Logan instantly spoke, seemingly making fun of him.

"Unfortunately for me, they're cultivating, and while they would be glad to indulge in me, I don't want to disturb them either." Davis elegantly replied while walking towards them with his hands behind his back.

Everyone became a bit flabbergasted as it almost made him look like a different man, but Claire looked happy as this was how she imagined her son to be. Having women was all okay if his wives approved, but falling into depravity was not how she imagined him to be, and it seems that her thoughts were right.

He still had his conviction and character unchanged, although his values may have loosened a bit with how she could see him taking numerous women.

'I hope Edward and Evan would not follow their father's and elder brother's footsteps and marry only three or fewer women in their life...' She could only realistically wish.

On the other hand, she was worried about Clara and Diana as well. She felt that she had no need to worry about Clara because of her level-headedness and coldness, distancing people away even if her beauty immensely pulled them. However, Diana was the exact opposite. Her cheerfulness attracted everyone in the vicinity and made her a target, and worryingly enough, she had already liked a boy of similar age.

She could only wish that Diana hadn't done something foolish.

At this point, she was feeling regret for not looking after them, but if she hadn't left, she couldn't have saved anyone here with her son's help. It was either this or that, but she could wish for the better with her children with their elder sister looking after them, unlike her father's situation.

Clara may be cold, but she was a capable girl. Claire believed that their strict elder sister could take care of them.

"Davis, when are we leaving...?" She couldn't help but ask.

Davis smiled and began telling them what he discussed with Ancestor Dian Alstreim that he had already spilled the beans because lying or deflecting anymore was useless, only managing to destroy the relationship they have built until now.

Their eyes were wide before they finally relaxed, hearing that both Ancestors didn't take it in a bad way.

"As for leaving, you all just be ready. It could be this day or a week later as I still have a few matters to take care of..."

"I see..." Claire smiled gently, "Take your time. Mother will wait, but I'm also bringing your grandfather, grandmother, my sister, and Nora back. Are you okay with that?"

"Fine with me..." Davis shrugged as he already expected this to happen.

"Davis, you're the best!~" Claire joyfully replied.

Davis smiled.

Even he was thinking of bringing Sophie, Niera, and Fiora back with him, but he mused Niera's family wouldn't allow him to take her to someplace they wouldn't be able to reach, same with Sophie, a bit unless he was forceful. So realistically, he could only take back Natalya and Fiora with him while leaving their family here because he had little to no obligation to take them unless they requested.

He abruptly turned to look at someone and saw that they instantly avoided his gaze, possessing a healthy blush on her face.

"Tia, are you having fun with your baby niece?" He walked towards her.

Tia blinked before she turned to look at him and smiled.

"Yes, Evan is so cute that I feel like I could hug him all day long...!"

"I see... So what about your comprehension of Karma Laws?"

"With my current cultivation..." Tia held her hands, feeling embarrassed, "It's not much, but I muse as soon as I reached the Law Seed Stage, my comprehension in Karma Laws would increase by leaps and bounds."

Davis nodded, "Indeed, you're restricted by your own cultivation. You have to cultivate hard, Tia. Otherwise, big brother saving you would have little meaning..."

"Yes..." Tia stood attentively as her body went stiff, "I will not betray big brother's expectations...!"

"Hehe..." Davis's solemn expression faded as he chuckled, reaching out his hands to stroke her blonde hair, "I was just joking. Don't batter yourself. When my little sister Clara battered herself by overcultivating, trying to catch up to me, I was very disappointed in myself for taking my eyes off of her. So don't you dare cultivate yourself to exhaustion. Big brother would feel sad if you fell sick because of my words."

"Ah... yes~"

Tia's face came to possess a crimson hue as she suddenly found herself melted by his sweet words of care. She bit her lips, raising her head to look at his sapphire eyes.

"I would not disappoint big brother in both ways..."

"Good, it is important to balance between cultivation and maintaining your mental state. If you find yourself bored, read something, talk to some people or simply play around with something you like or want to increase your mental state. Entering meditation may be easy for us who have learned it from a very young age, but it is also important to not be bored or distracted while cultivating. Some thoughts may emerge to boost your cultivation as a part of motivation, but some others may try to interfere as negative thoughts. You just have to be careful not to let the latter take over."

Davis earnestly advised, causing everyone in the room to nod their heads in approval.

Of course, this was something basic, but many didn't know how to balance their mental states, resulting in them having poor cultivation experience and fewer breakthroughs. Moreover, when their mental state falls extremely low, they would likely incur a heart demon from a recent setback they faced.

For soul cultivators, mental states were extremely important!

However, Davis never had to worry about it because he did not see cultivation as a chore but fun and a necessary tool for survival, not to mention that his increase in Soul Forging Cultivation was mostly due to Fallen Heaven devouring soul essences and raising his soul prowess.

In terms of raising Soul Forging Cultivation, he probably had it easier than anyone in the world, but when comprehension over mysteries of the soul enters the comparison, he was severely lacking and needed to stop to comprehend. In that scenario, he felt that Ellia and her white-haired witch had beaten him in that regard because she was a reincarnator like himself, except the chances that she was a powerhouse or even an Immortal was way higher!

Suddenly, Tia raised her hands and grasped on his arm, pulling his sleeves.

"Big brother, I want to see the place you grew up in... I also want to see my nephews and niece I keep hearing about..."

"Haha, I want to see them too. Just wait for a bit until your big brother finishes a few things. Then, I'll take my leave...!"

"Ah no... Don't leave already~"

Davis grinned as he turned around and walked, but Tia still held on to his sleeves. He floated and dragged her along as she slid all the way, laughing and giggling until the exit before she let him go.

"Sigh, this lass adores her big brother very much after that incident..." Edgar Alstreim smilingly shook his head.

Everyone smiled as they nodded, but they all inwardly thought.

'It wouldn't be strange even if she fell in love with Davis after all that...'

Tia, who waved goodbye to her big brother, didn't know that the people behind her already made her pure and affectionate feelings to be one of sweet, innocent love.
