Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1113

Nonetheless, Ancestor Dian Alstreim felt like he could understand their current plight. The young man was a tri-cultivation genius, especially a Soul Forging Cultivation genius, and the young woman was a terrifying Body Tempering Cultivation genius.

They looked as if they were made for each other, but he felt that the only thing lacking was the young man's status. He lamented why the Alstreim Family wasn't a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Power instead of a High-Level Emperor Grade Power.

The difference between the two of them bordered on the difference between heaven and earth, where the latter easily had a line-up of Ninth Stage Powerhouses, ranging from the end of one digit to two digits!

If their Alstreim Family was a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Power, then it should be easier for them to tie their fates together in marriage, but alas, the Alstreim Family fell short by a large margin.

Now even he felt that he was selfish in suppressing Davis's growth by recruiting him into the family. After all, their body tempering methods and soul forging methods were not up to par, and even Davis seemed to train in a better Body Tempering Cultivation Method and Soul Forging Cultivation Method.

He inwardly decided that he would do his best not to let Davis suffer a loss and fill in the Alstreim Family's weakness with his own strength.

But when he thought how he would have to face this sharp-tongued brat's arrogant attitude but cannot beat him up, he sighed. He knew that a difficult future awaited him.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim had just finished declaring his oath, which made the Dragon Queen's eyes turn wide into two beautiful crescent moons. It was as if she didn't think a small High-Level Emperor Grade Power would dare to stand against her mysterious background.

"See!" Davis's eyes flashed with a shrewd yet concealed gleam as he pointed at Ancestor Dian Alstreim and explained.

"Isabella, it is necessary for me to enter another power if I were to pursue you. Even if that power isn't up to par, it doesn't matter because I don't need anyone's help when the time comes!"

"All I need you to do is wait for me to grow! I'll storm through the gates of your mysterious power and demand your hand in marriage! If I don't..."

Davis's clenched his teeth and yelled.

"I am not an Alstreim!"

The Dragon Queen bit her lips, and her eyes shook. It was unknown what she was thinking.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim inadvertently smiled upon hearing that.

So Davis really did possess a belonging to the Alstreim Family. To think he was spouting that nonsense all along. He felt that Davis's true feelings came out in the open when he became emotional.

"I have many pursuers..." The Dragon Queen still seemed unconvinced, "You think that you will be able to..."

"Heh! Not a problem! Since the Ancestor gave his word that he would act as my Protector-"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's lips imperceptibly twitched at this moment.

"-I don't see how anyone could attempt to harm me personally!"

Davis chuckled, "As for those so-called geniuses you mentioned, they are no better than greenhouse cultivators who only use resources to increase their cultivation base but have no real strength and battle experience! If they dare to block my path to attain you, I'll annihilate them with my extinction lightning!" Davis daringly spoke.

The Dragon Queen's lips widened into a curve.

*Whoosh!~*

However, she quickly became dumbfounded as she saw Davis arrive in front of her. She retreated, but her movements were sluggish. Her face contained a few glances of reproach, but she revealed a shocked expression upon feeling both her hands be grasped.

Everyone's expression changed! What is Davis doing!?

"Do you finally understand, Isabella?" Davis spoke, "Do you now know the reason why I didn't consult you to join another power?"

"..."

Receiving no reply, Davis widened his eyes, "I assure you that I didn't betray you!"

"Truly?" The Dragon Queen echoed, but her voice betrayed her expectation.

"Yes!"

The Dragon Queen's expression trembled, but she finally nodded her head.

Davis seemed to become incredibly excited that his three energies erupted once more, shaking the space behind him before receding into his body.

"Then... I think I won't interfere with you joining this power... the Alstreim Family, but what about Claire and Log-" Princess Isabella's expression became a shade of red before she shook her head.

It was as if she abruptly realized that Claire and Logan were her future in-laws and couldn't offend them.

"I suppose I failed to obtain three talented subordinates in this tempering trial..." Princess Isabella wryly smiled, "I accept this loss..."

'So the Dragon Queen is truly on a tempering adventure... No wonder...'

Ancestor Dian Alstreim inwardly nodded as he finally understood. He smiled widely, but then he quickly suppressed and displayed a calm expression.

Who would've thought that the Dragon Queen's arrival would easily allow him to recruit Davis?

He didn't know that Davis actually planned to become one with the Alstreim Family. Only after hearing the passionate speech, where Davis mentioned that he was not an Alstreim if he failed to marry Dragon Queen Isabella did he understand that Davis truly felt one with the family.

He inwardly nodded his head, 'Blood is like that... Despite Davis stating that he doesn't care, the feeling of home is always present in one's heart and soul.'

However, little did he know that he had been thoroughly duped by Davis and Princess Isabella right now!

The Dragon Queen suddenly spoke.

"It's time for me to leave soon..."

Davis's heart trembled.

"Go... I would soon follow..." He took a deep breath and said.

"I will ask your hand in marriage, and your power would have no choice but to marry you off to me at that time..."

"Such big words..."

"It is the truth," Davis lightly smiled, "But will you wait for me to reach a stage where I could stand without looking down but only look down upon?"

A smile appeared on the Dragon Queen's face.

"Whether it be a year or a thousand, I'll be waiting..."

Davis and the Dragon Queen stared at each other. The heads were so close, seemingly about to crash into each other's lips. However, the Dragon Queen moved her head aside but didn't separate or push him away.

Instead, a healthy crimson hue appeared on her cheeks, making her look incredibly entrancing.

Davis couldn't help but lean in to kiss her forehead, and he really did, giving everyone a shock while seeing that the Dragon Queen didn't resist!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but sigh as he looked at their public display of affection.

'Ah, overflowing with this kind of daringness is also wonderful...'

He suddenly couldn't help but remember a smiling face but only an icy expression remained on that face in the present.

Recalling his own past, he felt like he should do his best to unite them so that this dragon among men and phoenix among women don't end up having any regrets, but he was also nervous about the consequences.

If the Dragon Queen's background came to know about this, what would happen? Since the Dragon Queen seems to be out on tempering by adventuring, it is expected that she would have one or more Protectors, but why didn't he see any?

Could it be that this King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf silently staying behind was the Protector?

Now that he thought about it, it made sense. The Dragon Queen's growth was rather frighteningly fast that the King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf no longer seemed to be strong enough to protect her.

This was almost confirmed when he heard the Dragon Queen say that it was time and that she had to return. Her tempering adventure seemed to be over.

Nevertheless, what kind of power was the Dragon Queen's background?

If they rejected their union, would they go far as to even kill their female genius, maim the lowlife and flatten the Alstreim Family?

Ancestor Dian Alstreim shook his head. Such things should be considered in the far future as Davis was still not powerful enough to confront her mysterious power.

Right now, he was more worried about the calamity light. Not only did he offend the heavens, but he also targeted the calamity light to show his determination.

Since he overbearingly said something against it as if challenging it, did he jinx it?

There was a heretic saying that the heavens were fickle, and perhaps just.

Just like how it gave him an absolute genius out of nowhere, it could take it away anytime it wants. He felt himself to be small in front of the will of the heavens, like a child who obediently stood in front of its teacher, waiting to receive a task.

Once received, he could only do his best to fulfill the vague task, and if he acted against it, only punishment awaits.

"Here..."

The Dragon Queen suddenly took out a spatial ring to Davis.

Everyone saw it.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's and Patriarch Eldric Alstreim's eyes flashed. It should have some valuable treasures, or so they mused.

Davis looked hesitant to acquire it, but with the Dragon Queen shoving it into his hands, he looked as if he could only take it helplessly.

"This spatial ring contains a few treasures of mine, as well as a messaging talisman to contact me..."

"Don't die, okay?" The Dragon Queen endearingly demanded.

"Don't worry!"

Davis chuckled, "My Alstreim Family's Ancestor would support me in pursuing you even if the heaven collapses, the calamity light descends, so what needs to be said about your mysterious power?"

"If they come here heavy-handed, they would at least be unable to do anything to my family."

"Isn't that right, Ancestor?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim smiled and heavily nodded, but everyone could see that his smile was forced.
