Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3349 Everlight's Situation

"Well,"

Saintess Lunaria adjusted her silver hair strands to the side and kept them tucked over her ear, "If you deem it acceptable, I guess I can hold my head high in hopes that I will not be beheaded for my future transgressions."

"…"

Davis gazed at her enchanting emerald pupils that adorned her eyes like pearls.

Her complexion was as fresh as fallen snow, unblemished and radiant, further complemented by her pristine white robe. Her skin was as delicate as flawless porcelain, exuding an aura of purity and grace that exemplified her status as a Guardian and a Saintess and not the other way around.

Above her eyes was a smooth, subtle diamond mark that seemed to be a power of bloodline or simply a beauty mark, and he still didn't know what it was.

"Saintess sure has a peculiar way of speaking, asking for forgiveness even though you did nothing wrong."

Davis shook his head.

Beheading Saintess Lunaria? Considering she was like a daughter to the World Master, was it even possible?

Saintess Lunaria narrowed her eyes, "Have you… lost your humor?"

'If I joked around you anymore, there's a good chance that I might get blipped off this sanctuary, so yes, but no.'

Davis only lightly smiled as he thought inwardly.

He was not particularly afraid of being sent to the true immortal world, but leaving his beauties alone here… that was another story.

"Mhm~" Saintess Lunaria raised her hand and placed a finger on her chin, looking contemplative before she dropped her hand and nodded, "I heard that you haven't massacred the Fire Phoenix Clan much, so I expected you not to have changed. Perhaps I was wrong but if you have changed, then you must look into yourself and introspect before you lose your mind and accidentally go on to slaughter billions."

"Aha." Davis chuckled, "I'm sure any person, even if insane, would notice the difference when massacring millions to billions."

Saintess Lunaria inclined her head, "Sometimes, the numbers don't constitute change as it also depends on what kind of people you're killing."

"You're absolutely right. In any case, Saintess is wise and respectful enough not to check me using Heart Intent. I will watch over my psyche and guard it like I guard my beauties in order to not cause you trouble."

"Aiyo, you're good with words. Have a seat."

Saintess Lunaria summoned a tea table right at the center of the flowing waterfall staircase's bottom stair and said comfortably.

"Do you want anything to drink?"

Davis's figure also flashed as he sat on the chair directly opposite Saintess Lunaria as he was asked, but he shook his head.

"Thank you for the hospitality, but I'm here to return the favor."

Davis had just sat, but he stood up, showing respect as he handed a spatial ring to Saintess Lunaria.

He had to be grateful to both Guardian Ryheris Yilan and Saintess Lunaria for saving Isabella and his father.

Saintess Lunaria flicked her finger, and the spatial ring flew to her from Davis's palm.

Once she saw that this spatial ring wasn't bound, she sent her soul sense inside and checked.

Her eyes shot wide as she shot a look at him, causing Davis's lips to curl.

"You- did you obtain this in your expedition to the true immortal world!?"

Saintess Lunaria's voice was full of shock.

After all, she realized it was Low-Level Empyrean Grade Life Essence Spirit Water, even though she initially thought he was just pranking her in the name of a gift.

After all, he didn't need to gift her as the junior unless she actually helped him out personally, but so far, they only had a give-and-take relationship.

"Saintess could say that…"

Davis pursed his lips. He obviously couldn't say that he was commanded to steal from the World Master's garden by the World Master herself.

"But- but… this is too valuable. I can't accept this…"

Saintess Lunaria looked visibly uncomfortable as she placed the spatial ring on the table and pushed it towards him.

It would be fine if there were a few liters of Low-Level Empyrean Grade Life Essence Spirit Water, but there was an entire pond's worth of spirit water stored in the spatial ring, making it impossible for her to understand how he could offer her something like this without expecting anything in return.

However, Davis raised his hand, causing the spatial ring to stop midway before he sent it back with a light push.

"Come on. The value of my father's life and my family is far greater."

He had only gifted thirty percent of the Low-Level Empyrean Grade Life Essence Spirit Water he had, so he wasn't feeling any kind of regret. He even thought of giving more but knew that his Everlight, Ellia, and Myria would be in more need of that.

"…"

Saintess Lunaria stared at him with her emerald eyes before she heaved a breath and took the spatial ring.

"You're a good child."

"…"

Davis blinked, not expecting to be relegated to the realm of a child, but he nodded, causing Saintess Lunaria to lean forward as she displayed the spatial ring.

"Thank you. This would be highly useful for my cultivation when I break into the Empyrean Stage or even now."

Davis nodded, understanding what she said.

It was just spirit water and wouldn't particularly increase one's prowess but was greatly beneficial for comprehending Life Laws, which was, in turn, helpful in gaining more prowess or skills and techniques.

He raised his hand, caressing Everlight's tail that was curled around his neck and shoulder.

"Then Everlight, are you ready to come back with me, or is this place more comfortable?"

Davis could sense the life aura permeating this space, putting one's mind at peace and allowing them to be serene in their thoughts. He had always thought this was a good place to bring his beauties and flourish, except it was Saintess Lunaria's place, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Nevertheless, he knew it was good for Everlight to stay here as she would increase her cultivation with half the effort.

His Everlight had been the slowest to cultivate, but right now, she was at Level Seven Immortal King Beast Stage even though she had just recently entered Immortal King Beast Stage. He didn't mind letting her stay if she could enter the Immortal Emperor Stage faster.

"Master, I am ready to come back with you, but… Saintess still hasn't finished deciphering my new runes yet…"

Everlight uttered in a hesitant voice.

Because she had just recently entered the Immortal King Beast Stage, the runes etched on her body also underwent a great change but Saintess Lunaria focused on her cultivation to bring her to the peak as soon as possible. Therefore, there was a delay in deciphering her runes.

"So you want to stay for some more time? That's okay."

It would be impossible to be together with Saintess Lunaria and not like her. In fact, he felt that it was strange that Everlight didn't try to leave him instead, as Saintess Lunaria would be more safe to be with.

Smiling, he rubbed her fluffy cheeks while she made foxy noises, knowing this fox truly loved him.

"But I'll have Lea bring you back when she's done with bonding with Calypsea. Alright?"

"Yes, Master!"

Everlight put her fox paws on his head and licked his cheek again, tickling Davis.

Saintess Lunaria's emerald eyes shone with admiration. The fact that a Nine Lives Gracious Fox could like a human this much could only mean that their bond was not forced. She couldn't help but admire such relationships.

"Many thanks."

She cupped her hands and bowed her head slightly, causing Davis to also nod as he stood up to leave.

Saintess Lunaria had a lot to ask as she was also curious about the true immortal world, although they had already asked for information from the disciples who came back with him. After all, the Emperor of Death, who led the expedition, would naturally know more.

However, seeing that he wanted to go see Lea, she naturally didn't stop him.

With a snap of her fingers, she twisted the space around them and directly transported them along with the table to appear on a cliff that oversaw Lea and Calypsea holding hands together while they sat crossed-legged opposite to each other.
