Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 251

Davis lifted up the cup and drank the contents as he closed his eyes, enjoying it as he tasted every bit of the sour yet sweet drink .

To him, it vaguely tasted like a mix of something between lime and vanilla .

He gulped it in its entirety and nodded in satisfaction as he felt his energy circulating in harmony .

"Thank you, Natalya . . . " Davis uttered and gave back the cup .

It flew towards the plate that Natalya held and positioned on top of it . She bowed slightly showing off the demeanor of a maid as she went back and excused herself out of the room .

As Natalya went outside the room, her face revealed an astonished expression .

'He truly is a young person . . . '

After being a maid-like existence for Davis a month, she finally started to believe that this person was a youth and not an old man in disguise .

There were plenty of reasons for her to believe that but the most plausible reason for her was because he hasn't touched her yet .

Although quite narcissistic, being confident of her looks and figure, she found it really odd that he didn't make any kind of action on her .

It's not like she wanted to be assaulted, it's just that she found it extremely weird that he didn't do anything to her considering that they two were the only people to stay in this residence .

Being the only woman in this residence had her on her toes all the time . She was so nervous that she considered all the worst possible outcomes that she could come up with!

'He could've fed me an aphrodisiac and had his way with me considering that he is a Peak-Level Earth Grade Alchemist, but he didn't even show an inkling of interest towards me . . . '

Feeling stupid for getting all suspicious towards her benefactor, she couldn't take it anymore and asked about his real identity yesterday by gathering all her courage .

Although the other party didn't reveal his name, hearing him casually speak that he was just about 15 years old left her feeling lost and ashamed .

After repeatedly glancing at his face for about a day and a half which she first thought that it belonged to an old man disguising to be young, she finally understood that he was really just a young boy .

'Such a person saved me?' Natalya laughed to herself in embarrassment but that laugh soon disappeared when she thought of the events two weeks ago .

Some assassins stealthily entered the residence and tried to kill both of them . At that moment, it was night and she had just entered her room to rest .

The instant she entered the room, she heard footsteps behind her which she immediately thought that it belonged to Davis who had sneaked in to violate her .

That was when she realized how much she was wrong when the person behind her had his long blade pointing towards her, reflecting the light of the moon .

She was instantly scared to death that her muscles didn't respond to her as she realized the cloaked person pointing the blade at her blatantly reveal the energy of a Body Transformation Stage Cultivator .

At the same time, she felt the fear of death encroaching her heart, leading her to close her eyes in helplessness .

Not a sound was made but the death that she had expected didn't come in her way no matter how much she waited .

Opening her eyes in doubt, all she saw was the body of the assassin lying in a pool of blood while a familiar figure flew above it .

Her eyes instantly recognized Davis, who held a Scythe in his hands while gazing at her calmly .

After that, she heard him say, "Aren't you lucky? Looks like this assassin had a habit of teasing his targets . . . "

Thinking back to that night, Natalya sighed at that playful smile hanging upon his lips . That was the moment she knew that this person was strong as a monster .

'Natalya, ah Natalya . . . He has saved you 3 times already! If you can't look after yourself anymore then you should just kill yourself . . . '

Being the first daughter of a family, she naturally had her own variant of pride and morals .

She believed that getting more and more indebted will make her unable to extricate herself from this person .

Her only worry before was about her womanhood, which she could now tell that the other party had no interest towards her .

Taking a deep breath, she entered her room and decided that she will serve this person until he no longer requires her to be of service .

. . .

Davis moved his hand, picking up the book again, continuing to memorize its contents . Soon, night fell and Davis massaged his glabella, relieving the pain he felt .

'Looks like my soul force has been finally exhausted . . . ' Davis thought .

Without taking a single bit of rest, he continued to memorize the contents of the books for a month, which had finally exhausted his Soul Sense .

He lazed back, plopping onto the floor . He looked tired but had a smile tugging on his lips .

He had managed to not only memorize but also digest the contents he learned exactly at the same time .

This made his foundations in Alchemy to be incredibly stable, at least if one considered that he was just a Peak-Level Earth Grade Alchemist .

Smiling lightly, he thought of the several thousand books he bought that had information on Low-Level Sky Grade to High-Level Sky Grade Alchemy .

It was time for him to take those out and digest its contents .

He still had soul force which he could dig out by draining his willpower but doing that will severely impact his soul essence which may or may not end up being disastrous to him .

But on second thought, he decided to study tomorrow since his soul force was thoroughly exhausted .

He got up and jumped to the bed as he let out a groan of pleasure from closing his eyes and stretching his body .

He turned his body and opened his eyes to look at the ceiling while thinking about the events that occurred in this month .
