Divine Emperor of Death

At this moment, Davis finally understood! Something like this must have happened to Glynn but he wasn't present there to notice!

At that specific time, he decided to help Nina and wasn't present there to know the changes that happened to Glynn.

Besides, it wasn't the first time the lifespan thread changed.

Last time, in the Sunset Tear Mountain, those women who were used as sexual slaves probably also had their lifespan thread change but he failed to notice it.

'Is it because I was not close to them in terms of distance as I am now with Agis Stirlander?' Davis doubted this point.

During that time, he remembered that they were at least tens of meters away while with Agis Stirlander, there wasn't even two meters distance between them. It became clear that he had to be very close for his Death God Eyes to react to the changes, or perhaps there are other variables that went unnoticed by him,

In any case, he concentrated on what was more important to him,

Davis saw Agis Stirlander's lifespan thread grow longer and longer till it reached a certain thickness and length, a boundary which he had never seen before.

Davis couldn't tell Agis Stirlander's current lifespan since there was no comparison to make. It wasn't like he could suddenly understand what the threads indicated. He calculated the thickness, length, and other variables before giving an estimate.

That's why he couldn't tell the exact date and time of the newly emerged lifespan thread.

Perhaps Natalya noticed both of them looking pale or strange, she nudged them.

"Davis! Grandpa!"

This aroused the two of them out of their reverie.

"This... Are you sure?" Agis Stirlander asked as he felt that it was absurd that the Third Prince he had been meeting all along could be an impostor.

Davis narrowed his eyes and inferred since Agis Stirlander's lifespan had a direct change, then it meant that his suspicions were mostly correct. The Third Prince who had been meeting them is most likely an impostor. 

Even if he wasn't, it shouldn't differ much since the change in lifespan directly correlated with the discovery and realization of this fact.

Davis smiled with utter confidence, "At least, the person you've been meeting with definitely isn't the Third Prince, Alexi Ethren."

Agis Stirlander's expression became ugly.

"Woah, woah grandfather-in-law, calm down. If you get mad and let out your undulations that you've worked so hard to suppress and even got internal injuries from it, everything would fall to the gutter. You will alert the enemies and we'll never be to catch the culprit, much less verify..." Davis chuckled.

"Oh right, there's a much simpler way to resolve this misunderstanding and that is to drag the irresponsible Third Prince out and ask him yourself..." Davis smiled.

"No! We can't do that! His Highness is in a crucial stage to experience a breakthrough to the Law Sea Stage!"

Davis massaged his forehead in exasperation, "Isn't this information alone enough to suspect that the person you've been meeting with could've been an impostor?"

Agis Stirlander became speechless but then he squeezed out his brain and brought out a reasonable excuse.

"A cultivator can exit seclusion many times of their own free will but they cannot be disturbed... If we were to intrude at the point when his highness is at a really crucial point, then we would be sinners for all life!"

'You people are so extreme...' 

Davis became a little taken aback but when he thought about Evelynn and Natalya, they too were extremely passionate about him.

In any case, Agis Stirlander's point was valid, so he didn't bicker and just shook his head before a grin appeared on his lips.

"So when the next time that impostor meets you, let's do this..."

======

Davis returned to his residence as he arrived before the familiar gate.

When he turned to look at his side, his smile faded as he did not find Natalya by his side. He thought back to the moment after discussing their plan.

[

"Now that we're clear, we're leaving. Let's go, Natalya..." Davis smirked and turned behind when a hand suddenly held his shoulder and stopped him.

"Lad, there's a proper method to all this... Even if Natalya is going to become your second wife, are you just going to take her away like she is some beggar lying on the street?"

'Fuck!' Davis inwardly cursed.

This is cornering him emotionally!

"Grandpa!~" 

However, Natalya became ecstatic that her grandfather accepted her relationship with Davis! She held her grandfather's hand and shook it widely like a child playing with her grandparent in glee!

]

Davis came out of his reverie.

'What else can I do? I don't want to forcefully drag Natalya either and she seems to want to earn the recognition of her parents as well...'

Other than this, he noticed that Agis Stirlander was surprisingly not against marrying multiple women. Otherwise, he would've at least said something to him.

'I guess strength talks, uh?' Davis attributed this to his strength.

After all, no one would marry their daughter or granddaughter as a second fiddle to a weak man.

He entered the residence and looked at a specific building for a while before he shook his head. That building seemed to be empty for more than half a year but the truth remains that it isn't.

The building unsurprisingly belonged to Princess Isabella who secluded herself in cultivation, intent on reaching the Peak-Level in Martial Master Stage.

Although, he didn't know exactly if she was doing this to purposefully avoid him or was really cultivating in all seriousness.

'Perhaps it could be both...' Davis pursed his lips as he walked to his home.

Honestly, he thought he would have a chance to talk with Princess Isabella once he came back from the training in the Sunset Tear Magical Beast Mountain but even after four months passed, she still didn't come out.

Once he reached home, he saw Evelynn cultivating like the good girl she is... a wide smile instantly formed on his face.

He had lagged a bit while 'playing' with Natalya, hence, Evelynn caught up to him in Essence Gathering Cultivation! 

Currently, both of them were at Peak-Level Law Seed Stage! Except they had just entered Peak-Level Law Seed Stage, like three weeks ago when dual cultivating...

The Yin-Yang Sutra did not do much but their Body Tempering Cultivation supplemented the lack of method with their increased vitality, hence it still had an effect on them.

As for him and Natalya, he was the one who was solely 'providing' her since she had lower stage cultivation. At least, for the time being, he had no doubt that it would be like this and he was happy to do so!

Evelynn opened her eyes, sensing him. Her eyes glazed with a confident gaze as she flew towards him.

"You're back!"

"But... You still have not brought her here..." Evelynn puckered her lips.

Davis smiled in content as he explained what he happened in Natalya's residence. To someone who was never tired of happily greeting when he comes back home, he felt that he should rather give his best.

It was around a month ago when she started saying that she wanted to meet Natalya. It both came off as a surprise and delight to him. 

Time and feelings sure do change a person.

However, if he wasn't sure of Evelynn's character, he would've thought that she wanted to poison Natalya to death instead.

"So it's almost time for her to join us..." Evelynn wryly smiled.

Davis awkwardly smiled but his expression abruptly became solemn and so did Evelynn's as her brows flinched. 

*Bzzz*

They both turned to look at the direction of the entrance to the residence as they recognized those powerful undulations.

"A Law Sea Stage Expert!?" Evelynn exclaimed.
