Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1278 - Result Of Overthinking

"Wait..." Evelynn instantly became confused once she came out of her reverie, "Nora's little sister? Who is that?"

"That's right. I have no recollection of such a person..." Natalya echoed, feeling that Davis was kidding.

After all, they both have never heard of such a person before.

Davis expected them to look at him with disgust or exasperation, but looking at their curious expression, he became dumbfounded for a moment.

Evelynn raised her hand and waved it in front of his face, "Davis? Are you still there?"

Davis came back to himself on being prodded by her before he closed his eyes, compiling information for a few seconds before he sent them to Evelynn and Natalya in the form of soul transmission.

Evelynn and Natalya's expression changed. The soul transmission contained information, almost like a summary of the events that took place in the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago. Davis explained it to them from the moment he left them to meeting Sophie, traveling with her to the islands, battling with magical beasts before accidentally meeting two Ninth Stage Powerhouses.

Till this, Evelynn knew most of them, even about the Immortal Inheritance since he once shared it already, but she didn't know the result, and neither did Natalya, including all that happened unless Evelynn told her otherwise.

Following the previous content, he explained how he entered the Lightning Sea before managing to see 'dead' people there who took care of him like their own, but he remained to train and tested them of their character, only to know that they didn't give up each other but even further tried to ruin themselves by doing things that they didn't like but had no choice to do so.

Especially, he added how Nora's little sister, Niera Alstreim, was extremely likable in the way she tried to spend her last with him before becoming a sacrifice to the 'guardian magical beast'. He explained that part of her moved him, making him feel like that he wanted to protect and have such a woman.

Lastly, he explained how he obtained the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Immortal Inheritance through some effort and luck before leaving the Lightning Sea, returning back to the Alstreim Family while also recruiting two Ninth Stage Powerhouses who were willing to protect the family under certain conditions.

Of course, needless to say, he omitted that had most things to do with Fallen Heaven, but the things he spoke of with soul transmission left Evelynn and Natalya dumbfound for around a minute straight.

The information they received was instant, but to digest it depended upon the level of their souls. For Evelynn and Natalya, it took a few seconds to instantly know of the content that Davis sent, but to understand and realize the richness of the story, they needed a whole minute to clearly understand the content.

"Such an adorable girl..."

These were the first words that came out of Evelynn's mouth before she curiously looked at him, "Why didn't you return with her?"

Davis blinked, "That's because her father is here to see if I am speaking the truth as I've said before. After seeing the situation here, he seemed to be... Uhm, satisfied, I guess."

Evelynn couldn't help but giggle as she thought of that person called Nero Alstreim. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him because when seen from an outsider's perspective, the Loret Family basically managed to conquer and dominate the Alstreim Family. After all, Nora and Niera are the two most powerful women in the Alstreim Family, and Sophie as well, now that she manifested a Superior Law Manifestation.

"Are you not angered...?"

Seeing her giggle as if she found something funny, Davis couldn't help but ask.

"Angered? Why would I be? I'm long past that. I would be only angered if you hid something like that from us. Hehe..." Evelynn giggled as she still couldn't help but find it funny, further thinking that Davis's relationship with Nora and Nero Alstreim turned into a mess.

Should he call Nora his mother or aunt? Should he call Nero Alstreim his father-in-law or grandfather?

"Pfttt~ Ahahaa~" She couldn't help but further descend into a roar of laughter as she held her tummy and lowered her head. Finally, she felt glad because she had something to tease him. Davis would always tease her of how her maid is her mother, but now, she had a similar story to tease him.

Davis's eyes twitched. However, hearing her say that she would be angered if he hid a matter like that, he couldn't help but want to say about Nadia. However, Nadia was intrinsically a different race, that he couldn't help but hesitate about telling them.

"Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Immortal Inheritance... To think that there was such a vestige left..." Natalya spoke a moment later after Evelynn.

She didn't know that there was such a thing, so she was deeply astonished enough to ignore Niera's matter for a while. She looked at Davis, feeling that no wonder he took a long time to return. On top of reaching the King Soul Stage, he did and acquired so many things, including a bit of inheritance and two women.

Her lips moved again, "As the Immortal said, you should really have some fate with it to earn the cultivation manual. I'm so glad, but at the same time, I couldn't help but think that we're burdening you. Perhaps without us, you should already be..."

"What are you saying?" Davis missed his chance to tell as he stared at Natalya.

"You don't need to say that it's not true. We are indeed burdening you..." Evelynn added as her laughter died down, leaving Davis speechless before he waved his hands.

"Even if it's true, I wouldn't have it any other way. You are all important to me that if a day came where I would have to choose between my wives and my cultivation, I would choose you all because I value you all over my life!"

Evelynn and Natalya blinked with their adorable eyes. At this moment, even if he told this as a lie, they were inexplicably moved.

"What a coincidence, we feel the same, no even more. Otherwise, do you think we will allow you to be with other women? Isn't that right, Natalya?" Evelynn giggled as she turned to look at Natalya while the latter smilingly nodded her head.

Davis couldn't help but awkwardly scratch his head as he knew that he lost this one. He wouldn't absolutely allow them to look at other men in a romantic way, but they would allow him to do so with other women. It was not fair in a particular sense, but it was just the way it was, making him feel that they cared more about him than he did.

It came up to who sacrificed the most. While he provided them with just resources and love, they provided him with forgiveness and love. The two couldn't be compared in a sense, as it is difficult to weigh in the cultivation world, but to Davis, the latter is obviously weighed more.

"Fine, fine. You two win..." Davis waved his hand before he looked at Natalya, "I'm rather curious to know how much you have improved in this year."

Natalya's expression couldn't help but brighten up, "Teacher said that it was a pity that I was married to you and a part of the Alstreim Family. Otherwise, she said that she was tempted to make me a direct disciple like Tanya and hand me the Falling Snow Sect once I became a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse..."

"Oh~" Davis deeply smiled at her, "You gained such recognition from Ancestor Tirea Snow. That's great, but then, how far have you progressed?

"I've caught up to big sis!~" Natalya squealed as she held her cheeks, "I've reached Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage!"

"Woah! That's a direct increase of a major stage and a level!" Davis became astonished at her speed, "You've managed to reach at this point from High-Level Law Seed Stage in a year? That's... a tremendous improvement...!"

He couldn't help but blink.

"Right! It was thanks to all the resources you gave me, darling~."

Natalya melodiously echoed in satisfaction.

"The Bone-Chilling Ganoderma Tree Sap, the Forsaken Yin Lotus, and the small lake of diluted yin essence. All of them had a hand in helping me reach this point. Especially the Forsaken Yin Lotus. It allowed me to jump two levels at the Law Manifestation Stage when I absorbed it before entering the Law Manifestation Stage, and in doing so, helped me easily comprehend Superior Law Manifestation for Yin Laws. As for Ice Laws, I've only managed to comprehend Distinguished Law Manifestation."

Natalya closed her eyes as her happiness in her expression faded, "Sorry, I'm ashamed of myself..."

"What the hell do you mean you are ashamed of yourself!?" Davis couldn't help but berate her, "That's two laws you're acquiring there!!! One is more than enough, and you reached Superior Law Manifestation in Yin Laws. No one would dare to say that you're inferior just because your Ice Laws is of lesser grade. You're young and have a long time ahead, so don't overburden yourself."

By the end, Davis's voice softened.

'But, if I don't work hard, I would not be able to enjoy the peak with you...' Natalya thought as she smiled.

"Thank you, darling." She held her cheeks as she seemed happy to be complimented and consoled, "It was due to the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual and the resources you gave me that I was able to become so powerful, gaining much recognition as a result. I won't ever doubt the love you have for me~ I should've known, but instead, I stupidly thought you were preparing to throw me away by giving me all these resources because you began to hate me but not cruel enough to not leave me without making sure I survive by myself."

"Hehe..." Davis couldn't help but wryly chuckle at her imagination.

He couldn't help but think that not only her but many women sure did mess up themselves by needlessly overthinking.
