Divine Emperor of Death

"!!!" Fiora gasped as her eyes widened in shock!

Wind Elementals!

She had heard about them before but never really witnessed one herself as they were rare in the Xuan Empire and even the entire Tripartite Alliance Territory. 

She then blinked, "How do you have something like that? I know you don't train in Wind Laws, but Lightning Laws..." 

As soon as she said that, Fiora closed her mouth, realizing where he obtained it was none of her business.

"I'm sorry, I asked something I shouldn't have and overstepped my bounds..."

Davis stared at her apologetic expression as he couldn't help but feel that she was a little girl compared to Evelynn and Natalya. She reminded him more of Natalya when he first met her, that was when she was twenty-six years old, and Fiora was now at a similar age, twenty-seven or so.

The elder sister was provocative, mature, and delicate, while the little sister was young, bold, and voracious. He couldn't help but think and become expectant on how fun the upcoming days would be with these two sisters, both in bed and at leisure times.

He took his hand and grabbed Fiora's chin with his fingers, "You didn't overstep your bounds. You can know what you what to know. I only expect for you to be harmonious amidst my other wives, including your elder sister, so you can't use harsh words like that before, whether to degrade yourself or others, okay?"

Fiora melted on hearing his soft tone that she adorably nodded her head, her eyes becoming moist. She felt extremely heartened, becoming convinced that he was truly caring towards her as well, even though she knew that she had done nothing to deserve it yet. 

At this moment, her feelings were such that she inwardly vowed to strive hard to become trusted and loved as she reached out to him by herself and planted an affectionate kiss on his lips.

Davis savored her love for him before she let go of him, looking at him with those moist, puppy-like eyes of hers.

He chuckled before he began to explain how he obtained the Wind Elementals.

Back then, when Davis visited the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House, he had seen seven Wind Elementals, which now all of them belonged to him since the entire Spirit Attribute Sources Hall belonged to his mother on paper. It was probably the largest fortune that Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim had compensated them with after agreeing to repent for his ignorance and misuse of authority.

Before he went to the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago, he had intended to absorb a Darkness Elemental and had taken away the strongest of them all, a Darkness Elemental at the Low-Level King Grade.

One should not look down on it as its value alone could compare to good-quality Low-Level Emperor Grade Treasure because of its rarity!

He had brought it with him to the training session but did not have the time to use it as he was busy with other things such as wom.... uhmm... cultivation.

Nevertheless, he still didn't have time as he was now really enjoying his time with his women.

After hearing the feud and the successive gain out of that, Fiora pursed her lips, "So many things happened, and I know a few of it as elder sister had informed us, but with your account, I came to know of almost everything that happened here after you all left us in the Ethren City for our safety."

"I didn't think that you were completely favored by Ancestor Dian Alstreim. No wonder the elder sister was also treated better by Ancestor Tirea Snow of the Falling Snow Sect. On top of elder sister's talent, there's a prominent person like husband who stands at her back."

"Oh," Davis raised his brows, "You're calling me husband now already?" 

"I can't?" Fiora raised her head with a smile, a bit of shyness emerging on her face.

Davis just smiled as he looked at Natalya, "Perhaps, she might become bolder than you in bed..."

"Heh," Natalya snickered with a smile, "She's only courageous because I'm beside her. Let me leave for some time..."

Speaking so, Natalya raised her body, but then came a lithe hand that grasped her arms from leaving.

"Don't..."

Fiora muttered in a low voice as she buried her face on Davis's chest, hiding her shy expression. 

Davis blinked, feeling that she was a marvel that he hadn't fully uncovered yet. Of course, this was her first time, and she was already more than embarrassed about revealing her body to a man for the first time, and perhaps on top of wanting to hold him, she used it as an opportunity to hide her body.

This way, she could act courageous and not look like an extremely shy lady, which is even more embarrassing for her.

This feeling of hers didn't become apparent to his Heart Intent until Natalya tried to leave.

'Of course, while I made love with her, she held her elder sister's hands for emotional comfort. Perhaps, it might've inevitably deepened Fiora's reliance on Natalya...' Davis thought before he looked at Natalya.

"Since Fiora mentioned Ancestor Tirea Snow, I recalled that I wanted to ask you this but forgot after we three became passionate. How did you train in the Falling Snow Sect, Natalya? Were there any dangers? Were you injured?"

He narrowed his eyes as if warning her to not lie.

Tanya Frostblight was attacked last time and was almost kidnapped if it weren't for his coincidental and timely aid. Surely, although Ancestor Tirea Snow had returned, her mind and body could be occupied with Ancestor Dian Alstreim, so he wanted to know if she were attacked as well. Although the possibility was less, it could've still happened.

Natalya pursed her lips before she nodded her head, "Tanya and I were attacked two times, but both times were when Teacher was secretly watching us train in the icy environments of the Falling Snow Sect, so there was no problem. As soon as it became apparent that Tanya and I were not able to defeat our opponents, they were turned into frozen statues without Teacher even having to show her figure."

Davis calmed down, feeling relaxed about the fact that she wasn't injured.

"How were the attackers even able to get into the Falling Snow Sect?" However, he felt ridiculous.

Fortunately, Ancestor Tirea Snow had given her word to train and protect Natalya as a response to the kindness he had shown to her. He believed that Ancestor Tirea Snow would protect Natalya, but still, it was dislikeable to hear that the Falling Snow Sect's disciples could even be attacked in their own sect.

What kind of bullshit was this!?

Natalya solemnly shook her head, ""They were deacons, Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage Experts, but in reality, they were women sent by the hostile parties as spies to target the true disciples at the prominent time. Until then, they lay-low..."

Davis's eyes became normal, feeling that it made sense.

So it was the deacons... If they were to become Elders, there would be strict checks, so he understood that many remained as deacons to lay low before pouncing at the opportune moment.

But still, why...? Davis couldn't help but ask.

Natalya explained, "After I reached the Falling Snow Sect with Teacher and trained there for a while, I quickly came to learn that the disciples of our sect... sell for an exorbitant price in the other Territories, especially in the Dual Lotus Manor Territory's underground auctions."

Natalya trembled as she spoke while Davis instantly moved his hand to caress her head as he consoled her. He knew that Natalya experienced being kidnapped, but fortunately, he had saved her through a whim. He couldn't help but feel extremely happy about that decision he made in the past right now.

"That's why..." Natalya continued, "There are a few disciples who did not really join with the noble intent to cultivate and serve the sect but to kidnap and sell the disciples to make an abundant profit from potential buyers. Of course, we wouldn't really know who they are until they reveal their true selves. Until then, they remain as 'loyal' disciples. In reality, the few ones who attacked us were upper deacon-level characters who stayed in the Falling Snow Sect for centuries. No one could have doubted their integrity and loyalty until the time they revealed their true selves."

"Is there no one there who learned Heart Intent?" Davis frowned. 

Natalya shook her head, "I asked this question to Teacher since I felt that it would be a countermeasure to these people, and she said the only ones she knew who possesses Heart Intent are Ancestor Dian Alstreim, you, and her dead master."

Davis blinked, feeling like he was caught a bit off-guard.

Was it such a rare type of law to learn? He rather comprehended a bit easier, was what he felt. Nevertheless, he still hadn't viewed the records in the Alstreim Family Library about Heart Intent and felt that it was time he did so with his Solitary Soul Avatar.

However, it irked that he still hadn't entered the Burning Phoenix Ridge to find Shirley and possibly learn the whereabouts of Ellia or vice versa.

At this moment, Davis really wished that he had more avatars. The things he had wished to do were so much, but the time he had was little, the same as everyone.

'Uh... Time is equal for everyone...!' A flash of insight suddenly appeared, causing Davis to blink, but before he was able to grasp it, he quickly lost it.

Davis couldn't just believe that he had a flash of insight into Time laws.

Even a mortal could have this thought, but the understanding of the insight along with heaven and earth energy resonating with them was what made them comprehend laws, turning it true in nature.

'Strange, I had no direct or indirect contact with Time Laws... Why would I have a flash of insight into Time Laws? Is this because of my King Soul Stage Cultivation allowing me to comprehend Greater Laws? Or is this Fallen Heaven's new ability?'

Many questions flashed past his mind with also an answer that said, "Time is not equal for everyone", as he, in reality, had an avatar, making the things he was able to do double than a single person could do.

He felt both concepts were true in Time Laws, and that was why certain aspects of laws were so confusing to comprehend!

Which was the right path?
