Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4043  An Actual Treasury

"Husband~"

"Tina, I'm sorry. I won't be able to keep my word to you. Can we meet later?"

Having discussed some issues with his friends, Davis went out of the pagoda and contacted Tina with a messaging talisman. He didn't use soul sense because it would be rude to spy upon her or anyone else, even if he were the ruler here. Everyone would be standing on their toes if he did something like that frequently.

"Oh, that's not a problem." Tina answered, her voice not even having a hint of breaking, "I was also just busying myself with the Treasury and helping Niera and the others make inventory, but there are new pills that need to be made for the others. Fortunately, we're both busy."

"…"

Davis felt an intense pang of guilt. Tina was so good to him, practically never troubling him.

"Forgive me, Tina. My friends still don't have their families here, and they're restless and worried sick. I need to make them stronger, or they will do some foolish things and die like flies."

"Oooh! If that's the case, please take care of them. Mingzhi was just talking about how they were trying to leave for the past week but didn't want to fight the gatekeepers because they're your women. They waited until you came back, so please make sure that they're not suicidal."

"Hmm." Davis nodded, "I will send you a message when I finish here. Please wait for me."

"Always, my dear husband~" Tina hummed.

Her sweet voice filled him with joy, blowing away the guilt like it was a leaf falling under a tree but carried away by the wind.

The messaging talisman then lost its light before he turned to look back and saw his friends have dubious smiles on their faces.

"So we just ruined a romantic rendezvous, huh?" Drake chuckled.

"Shut up. I will kill you all for this cardinal sin."

Davis growled before he brought them all to another place in the vast void dust land to make them stronger.

Inside the Treasury, Tina kept her messaging talisman inside, and numerous voices burst out with emotion.

"Ah, that rogue. How could he keep Tina waiting when she was extremely looking forward to it?" Mingzhi flared.

"This is not acceptable," Myria uttered, her face slightly frowning.

"Cheer up, Tina. He said he would call you as soon as he is done." Dalila consoled Tina.

They knew how cheerful Tina had been for the past few days, waiting for Davis to contact her. To suddenly say he couldn't make it to her and even provide a valid reason was unfair. How could they complain? Wouldn't this increase their frustration?

Myria even knew how Tina worked hard to stay at a level near them when others would've dropped out like flies.

Tina wasn't an alchemical genius. She had extreme trouble with theories of their level, but her Four Elements Physique allowed her to brute force through them along with Dalila's instructions.

However, she could only go so far, making Myria believe that Tina needs to be held by Davis to boost her confidence.

"I'm not worried," Tina shook her head, her expression still cheerful, "Please don't place too much burden on him. We have a lot of years ahead of us to enjoy life as long as we follow his lead, so there is no point in making haste. It would only worsen our relationship with him, or do you all want him to break?"

"True." Dalila nodded. She was fine with waiting, "The covenant is already weighing upon him. To worsen his mood and cause him to fail or make mistakes is deserving of a hundred deaths."

"Indeed," Myria agreed as she nodded but shook her head, "But word is word. He shouldn't be getting our hopes up, especially for little ones like you. I can wait as much as time I want to purely because I've lived longer, but you little sisters… I won't allow an action like this, but since his friends are worried about their families, I guess we can overlook this slight for Tina."

"…" On the other hand, Mingzhi looked guilty.

"Yes, he has too many things weighing on his shoulders, but it's also his fault for taking them. He only needs to care about us! Ah, I guess I'm too hard on him sometimes…"

"Every time."

Myria, Tina, and Dalila giggled simultaneously, causing her to reel back before she lowered her head.

"I'm truly apologetic since I'm aware that I'm hard to deal with. However, I won't trouble him anymore, at least not for a year or two. After all, my heart and mind is now like a free bird…" She rubbed her stomach with fondness.

"You should go rest, Mingzhi." Myria smiled.

The others also looked at her fondly. They felt that if there was anyone who deserved his child, it would be Mingzhi, who worked hard to protect the family along with him.

Her intelligence network had saved them from numerous troubles, and in terms of intelligence, they felt she was no less than Davis.

They were even from the same world, and their compatibility was off the charts. In their mind, she made him laugh more than they ever could. It made them sigh wryly a few times, but they admired her because Davis relied on her plenty and had unbreakable trust.

They wanted him to rely on them like that.

"Don't worry." Mingzhi giggled, "This is only an avatar while I'm in the time chamber. I can't throw away my duties just because I got pregnant, although I won't go out and endanger the baby because there would be karmic attacks to be worried about. Nonetheless, I trained Nightveil for the purpose of collecting intelligence, so she has taken over for me, and I have briefed her about all I know. If you have any new doubts, please go to her."

"We will." Tina and the others nodded.

They knew they were laying low for now.

The fact that the Celestial Transcendent was roaming about was pretty scary. Although the covenant protected them, that didn't change the fact that in ten years, they could be punched to death along with the mini-realm.

They were too weak to even consider fighting back against the Celestial Transcendent.

That is why everything rode on this ten-year period.

They all knew they must become stronger, but as women and wives, they also sought his love. It gave them immense confidence, and if they could sleep with him, it would even boost their cultivation without much effort. Every kind of worry would be annexed if their loved one embraced them, allowing them to blossom into much more powerful versions of themselves.

Even if it weren't for that, they purely sought him to just fulfill the love they possessed towards him in their hearts.

They couldn't do without it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone as far as to get together with a married man. They were obsessed with him.

"Alright, back to work." Tina giggled.

They all returned to work, including Iesha, Niera, and a few others, who all came to help out as they arranged hundreds and thousands of treasures and made an inventory. The new cultivation resources from Opulent Shell Company had already been arranged, so it only left them with the cultivation resources obtained from plundered rings. They were almost done arranging.

Now, the entire family and even the others could use contribution points to acquire resources with ease, almost fully automated.

On the other hand, Tina and Dalila left early to make newly ordered pills. Although the rate of consumption was high, all of their cultivations were making leaps and bounds.

Myria and Everlight headed towards Davis since he called them for help. It was finally time for Myria to learn Evolution Laws!
