Chapter 3125 Something Wrong?
"You're indeed a phoenix empress, so it wouldn't be strange if he tried to capture or tried to get into your good graces, but since I didn't sense such nefarious intentions towards you, I sent him away with a slap, only to find this..."
Davis lowered his head, his gaze flashing with killing intent, "I'll kill him if he approaches you again."
Lea pursed his lips as she nodded her head.
She knew if it wasn't for Bylai, then he would've gone ahead and cut Brisc Goldpeak in half instead of just slapping him. They had to maintain some decorum with the Golden Dragon Lower Realm if they wanted Bylai to grow as strong as them. Or else, they could only make an enemy out of the Golden Dragon Lower Realm and look for resources that would help her elsewhere.
Nonetheless, Lea turned to look at him with a bright smile, "I assume Epsila's tribulation went fine?"
"Indeed. You wouldn't believe what Dalila and Tina did…"
Davis's gaze lit up as he began recounting the scene while returning back to the heavenly lightning strand and heavenly wisps.
He was full of praise for them, causing Lea and Nadia to be shocked.
Nadia also knew how frightening annihilative heavenly lightning could be, but to think that these two seemingly harmless women went ahead and fought with such entities and survived to become a legend. Even Lea wryly smiled, feeling like she wouldn't be able to do such a thing as she recalled how pious she was at the mention of the heavens back then.
She had even failed her immortal tribulation once.
It was only after she got together with Davis that she started to see the world or the myriad of worlds in a different light, adopting the attitude anyone who was his enemy was also her enemy, even if that meant the heavens were to become her enemy.
However, having determination was one thing, and facing the Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation and crossing it was another case altogether.
She already admired Tina and Dalila for their relentless work in alchemy, providing them all with pills to increase their cultivation and gain insights into Laws rapidly, but for the first time, she respected their strength of heart that eclipsed their lives to want to fulfill his wants, making her respect them from the bottom of her heart but also want to do something for him.
As she turned to look at his side face that had his lips curled while he was still going on about how impressed he felt but shouldn't say anything about it to Tina and Dalila as he was still a bit angered over them acting sacrificial, she couldn't help but smile as she felt a sense of belonging and happiness.
During this time, the other groups that had been with him to enjoy his protection also returned. Their expressions looked curious but mostly fearful as they hadn't sensed anything like this before, knowing what an Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation would feel like for the first time in their lives.
Fortunately, they had left swiftly and even ran in a direction that was not east, which prevented them from encountering the young geniuses of the true immortal world. Otherwise, they might've been killed, captured, or soulscoured or experienced all.
"My apologies for the disturbance. I assure you that there's no need to worry about karmic burden since you all escaped, but as long as you're with me, know that you have signed up for the consequences. If you don't like it, feel free to leave."
Davis warned again, causing them to look at each other.
"Emperor of Death, we aren't scared of karmic burden since we already decided to follow you. Instead, we were scared that you would scold us for being cowards since we escaped."
"We feel guilty for not staying with you in your danger."
"Please forgive us if we have done anything wrong."
Harlen Jadelight, Silvia Jadelight, and Nuren Jadelight, the son and daughters of the Starlight Jade Wolf King, asked for Davis's forgiveness, causing him to blink.
Klaze Spacewark and Larius Goldsun of the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan and Golden Crow Clan also echoed similar words, causing Davis to not know what to say as he really didn't expect them to stay in his or someone else's botched tribulations.
He wondered if he should convince them otherwise but imagined that it would take long and wouldn't be convincing at all and unbecoming of a leader they wanted to look up to, so he raised his hand and waved.
"Go accumulate more treasures for me as an apology, but of course, you'll be compensated fairly."
"Yes!~"
Davis instantly saw their faces light up like fireworks, as though they couldn't wait to earn his praise.
He couldn't help but laugh as he saw these excited souls, knowing that they were less than thirty years old and could still be considered very young. They were all born immortals, after all.
Nonetheless, he reassured them that they hadn't got on his bad side and got back to refining the heavenly entities. He was almost over with the refinement process, causing his eyes to gleam. However, that gleam soon disappeared as he sensed that Myria was nowhere around, probably having left to search for treasures already as the apocalyptic volcanic region was still ripe with treasures.
Fairy Thunderblaze was also missing. It was unknown where she went, but the most important matter of all was that Bylai hadn't resurfaced yet. It seems that Sophie had also followed her soon after he made love with her.
'Those ore lovers… how deep did they go…?'
Davis was worried as they didn't even exit when the Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation's aura should've hit them as well. Besides, his Dalila had woken up but was resting in a new palace now while Tina took care of her, so he felt obliged to go see her soon.
In a few minutes, the refinement was complete, ready to be consumed, but Davis's mind wasn't peaceful enough that he couldn't absorb them. Therefore, he kept the refined strands and wisps in his life ring and informed Dalila that he would meet her later, telling her that he was going to find her missing sisters, which also made her worried.
They tried contacting Bylai and Sophie, but there was some odd disturbance that disallowed them from connecting, so Davis immediately left and entered the cave they entered from and started following their tracks.
