Divine Emperor of Death

Davis's face twitched as he looked at the sight around him.

In this barren desert, they named themselves Cloud Spring Mercenaries? He felt that there was no connection between the name and the place.

Still, Davis nodded his head in acknowledgement.

He could travel alone, but he knew nothing about the intricacies of this region, so he had no choice but to gain more information. To learn that, he decided to stick with them for a short time before leaving.

They jumped down the slope and approached an entrance which looked like a small gate.

There were some people in front of them. They had smiling faces as they looked at the approaching figures in the near distance.

A man with a halberd stepped forward and bellowed, "Big Sister Su is back!"

The people inside the gate were suddenly startled and some of them came running upon hearing the shout.

Cheers rang out as they openly welcomed their Big Sister Su Hualing. They had incredible respect for her because some had been saved by her in this hot desert region when they had no one to rely upon.

Not only did she save them but gave a place for them to belong. Naturally, they were grateful in their hearts.

A woman stepped forward from the crowd and glared at Su Hualing as her eyes turned misty. The crowd turned silent upon seeing her trembling back.

"We have avenged your husband, Lily..." Su Hualing uttered, causing the woman who stepped out to break down in tears.

Almost everyone looked at her with a sigh on their faces.

A few weeks ago, her husband and a few other mercenaries perished in the talons of the Ferocious Vulture.

At that time, she was with them but escaped as her husband protected her will all he got. It rended her heart into pieces when she saw her husband being eaten alive as it pecked on him while tearing his skin apart.

Having witnessed that gruesome scene, she fainted, only to be found by another team who had secured her safely.

She later found out why she was alive and not eaten by the Ferocious Vulture.

It was because she was saved by Su Hualing, who had more than enough power to make mincemeat out of that Ferocious Vulture.

Almost everyone knew of these two popular love birds as they joked of how attached they have been, but now seeing her breaking down in tears left them with a bad taste in their mouths.

Some of the men even felt pity and wanted to protect her subconsciously.

A few people suddenly arrived in front of the crowd, causing the crowd to disperse automatically with some reverence glowing in their eyes.

"Husband! Second Sister! Third Sister!" Su Hualing eyes automatically turned warm as she dismounted and ran into a man's embrace.

The man had two women follow behind him causing Davis's to narrow his eyes in astonishment as he thought, 'Triplets!?'

Their faces were more or less the same as Su Hualing. However, their figures were different and each of them had their own charm, causing one to unconsciously fantasize about them.

Davis was no exception, even so, he still managed to quickly remove all impure thoughts as it quickly came.

He then thought wryly, 'I still have a long way to go before I become completely immune to beauties...'

"Leader Daniuis, please kill me!" The woman who shed tears for her husband's death suddenly uttered as she looked at the man causing the others to be startled greatly.

Davis looked at the woman and narrowed his eyes. He could somewhat feel the sorrow that was currently possessing her heart.

After all, he was just a hair's length close to losing Evelynn at that time, but instead, she just lost her right arm. He then shook his head as he didn't even want to think about it.

"I no longer wish to live..." The woman uttered again causing a sigh to break out from the man who was called Leader Daniuis.

He wore an azure coloured mercenary-like attired robe. He had a precise toned body that stood out with his sculptured abs and pecks.

This man was called Daniuis and was the leader of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries

He wore a gentle smile on his face always but now, it changed into one of compassion and lament.

He had long black hair that reached till his chests that were currently waving in the air, and his eyes had a hint of tiredness to it.

The man took out a sword and pointed at the woman.

"Husband, no! You can't do this..." Su Hualing's expression turned awry for a second.

She didn't want this to happen.

Daniuis narrowed his eyes and glanced at his first wife, Su Hualing. He slightly opened his mouth and shook his head, "Convince her then..."

Su Hualing turned hopeful before she went forward to the woman.

"Lily, there's no need to die, is there?" She uttered.

Lily had her eyes focused on Daniuis in a deadpan manner. She slowly swept her gaze towards Su Hualing and asked, "What do I need to live for?"

Su Hualing got startled before she answered, "You need to live for yourself..."

Hearing her answer, Lily's expression didn't change one bit but instead asked a question, "Would you live if your reason to live died?"

She then gave a short glance at Leader Daniuis.

Hearing her question, Daniuis faintly frowned but didn't stop her as he too looked at his first wife, wanting to know her answer.

Su Hualing got startled again. She wanted to say that she too will take her life, but couldn't as that would be same as saying that there's nothing wrong with Lily wanting to die.

Narrowing her eyes, she replied, "If my husband dies, I still have my children to take care of..."

Thinking of how cleverly she replied, a faint smile bloomed on Daniuis's face as he shook his head.
