Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1239

"What do you mean...?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but ask in doubt.

"Oh, it's nothing..." Davis brushed it off, "We first have to see if those two powerhouses with Viridian Lightning Fox blood would join us before we think about that."

"I see..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn't seem to ponder much on his words, but in truth, he remained doubtful of the words that Davis had uttered.

Someone, a powerhouse who would give their life for the Alstreim Family?

How can such a person exist outside? He had no idea unless it was an offshoot that survived in the other Territories but remembered its root and would like to somehow help.

"Here... I have no use for this..." Ancestor Tirea Snow suddenly reached out her hand as she held a vial.

Davis's eyes narrowed.

'So they hadn't used it!?' He couldn't help but inwardly shout in astonishment.

A month ago was around the time he left for the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago, and that was also the time he felt that they used the aphrodisiac he had given to do the deed. However, looking at the vial in Ancestor Tirea Snow's hand, he could tell that it was the aphrodisiac he had given. It was full, and not a drop of it had been used.

Although he could see they hadn't used it, he felt that it also acted as a catalyst to bring them together.

Nevertheless, since Ancestor Tirea Snow didn't use it, did that mean that she chose to ignore Tanya Frostblight's emergency distress call when the latter was in deep trouble of being kidnapped back then? Well, considering that she and Dian Alstreim had been doing it, cementing their relationship, he could understand that she would ignore the distress call.

What could be more important than their reunion when they wholly thought of each other?

But that wasn't the point. If he wasn't accidentally present at that scene, Tanya Frostblight might have been kidnapped and done untold things that didn't sit well with him, especially when she was Natalya's friend. He couldn't just let it slip past his conscience that he at least needed a word of acknowledgment from her.

"Why didn't you respond when Tanya Frostblight released a distress talisman?"

Ancestor Tirea Snow's eyes lit up before it narrowed as she amicably smiled, "So it was you who saved her. I was wondering why she was muttering that her friend's husband was so strong in her room, and now I realize. You have my gratitude again."

"I see," Davis noticed that Ancestor Tirea Snow probably eavesdropped on Tanya Frostblight to find out who saved her. Nevertheless, he said, "But you still haven't answered my question."

"It wasn't that I didn't respond." Ancestor Tirea Snow shook her head, "Instead, it was that I didn't get any distress calls."

"What do you mean?"

Ancestor Tirea Snow went a bit silent. Her cheeks took on a shade of red as her lips moved.

"At this point, it's extremely shameful for me to say this, but it was indeed as you said before. I was planning on... committing suicide as I couldn't see why I should live after betraying my love for so many years."

"I also wanted to get revenge on my Falling Snow Sect for making me miserable, but I didn't have the heart to do so. That's why just as you said, I left it to the Falling Snow Sect's fate. To that extent, I destroyed every distress talisman I had with me so I wouldn't change my mind when they all encounter danger. Not only Tanya's distress talisman, but I would respond to none."

"But now that I'm alive thanks to you and if Tanya had been kidnapped and Elder Rain dead, I really would've regretted making that decision in the past. That's why I am also deeply indebted to you."

"I see..." Davis understood, "Is this also why you wouldn't ask me anything about the Forsaken Phoenix Realm?"

"If you were merely a benefactor, I wouldn't go this far. However, without your presence at that time, I would've merely watched Dian for a while in the shadows before committing suicide, meeting a tragic fate as what all would say. Therefore, I wouldn't do anything that harms you, much less something that harms my Dian."

"The Falling Snow Sect revokes their third of the claim of the Forsaken Phoenix Realm. That is where I stand, the Falling Snow Sect stands, and as long as I'm their Sect Ancestor, it would remain that way, I assure you with my life as the price."

"Tirea...!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim's yelled.

Ancestor Tirea Snow turned to look at him with equal intensity, "If I don't promise this young man, he really wouldn't be able to believe me and have that little bit of doubt and suspicion in his mind! It would begin to corrupt his mind and become a heart demon eventually, afraid that I might reveal this secret to the world."

"At that time, not only would this young man's cultivation progress would be impeded, but I would also become a reason for lowering the chance of your Alstreim Family's rise!"

Her speech left him speechless that he became momentarily stunned.

She waved her hand and took a Blood Soul Contract out in front of them as she raised her hand to project the details with her soul force.

Davis raised his hand, "It's unneeded. I know you're a woman of your words, and I look up to you in that matter. Besides, once I choose to believe in someone, I would keep the trust until I see signs of them breaking it. You haven't done anything yet, so don't go too far in rattling up your husband, or he might start to give me the fiery death stare."

"!!!"

"What...?" Ancestor Tirea Snow's expression became a shade of red as she saw him call Dian her husband. It was only recently she had begun to think of Dian like that, but now that someone said it, she really couldn't help but feel her heart flutter. This young man was probably the first person to acknowledge that they were husband and wife.

Davis couldn't help but chuckle as he looked towards Ancestor Dian Alstreim, "I figure that you are now more important than me to him, so he wouldn't hesitate to kill me if anything were to happen to you because of me."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim became taken aback, "You..."

"I wouldn't have it any other way..." Davis displayed his iconic smile as he was about to preach his way, "Get your priorities straight, Ancestor. F.u.c.k the others! The weight of million lives might be more than a single life under the view of the heavens, but in our hearts, the weight of a single person can exceed the entire world's sometimes, and that some time was from that moment where you two made love."

"You!"

Both Ancestors simultaneously stood up as their expression turned into a deep shade of red. His words were so crass that they who had behaved properly all their lives were easily offended by it.

"Hehe, you grandpa and grandma need to experience youth if you're going to fall in love all over again." Davis retreated as he gestured, "Anyways, I'm out as I don't want to be disturbing you two. Have a nice day."

His figure disappeared into the void.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow looked at the empty space in astonishment, wondering what kind of technique he used to disappear right in front of their faces again. However, his figure became suddenly visible to them.

"Oh, I forgot to say, but Sophie is now mine as we have agreed to marry sometime later." Davis's smile turned into one of coldness, "I don't really care for the rules of the family, but since we're all one now, I'll give you face and initiate a life and death battle if anyone dares to even have thoughts about her or tries to vainly harm her."

Davis hadn't forgotten what happened when he took Evelynn to the Ashton Empire. There were some jealous women who had schemed to harass and harm her, and they had almost succeeded. He wouldn't let that take place again.

His words were completely rude despite sounding like he was giving face. After all, initiating a life and death battle was the normal way to have the right to kill someone in this place.

However, Ancestor Dian Alstreim appeared extremely content.

"I see. That's a piece of good news that I haven't heard for a while after the Yantras. I'm sure everyone on her family's side would be happy to marry her to you as well. However, something like harming her wouldn't happen unless they already have a death wish. Even if you did not make a move, I'd personally sentence them myself, and in most cases, death would be the normalized punishment regarding any form of harm as your safety is of utmost importance to the family now."

Davis blinked as he became taken aback. He had expected the other party to be pissed off by his arrogance again, but he heard something else that his smile faded away, feeling unnatural.

He suddenly understood.

"Well, I'm glad that you understand, but I'm not of the mind of having children for now."

"What!?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes, "You can't be like this... You have to leave a pr-"

"A progeny?" Davis narrowed his eyes, "Excuse me, but you two can birth a prodigious progeny by yourselves. There's no need for a rival to be born now."

"You...!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim became stumped while Ancestor Tirea Snow's body shivered.

However, before they can even say anything, Davis disappeared in front of them again, leaving Ancestor Dian Alstreim stumped as he held his fists raised.

"That brat... If I don't teach him a lesson now, I won't ever get a chance again..."

Ancestor Tirea Snow blinked before she couldn't help but giggle, "So you're aware that he would surpass you eventually..."

"That's inevitable... The young would surpass the old, not to mention that he knows what to do to surpass himself each time. At this moment, his main body might as well be cultivating with fervor and passion unlike us."

"So I'm marrying an old man?" Ancestor Tirea Snow couldn't help but smile.

"Who're you kidding? We're both old enough..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim laughed as he saw the vial she held in her hands, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "Perhaps, we must need its help?"

Ancestor Tirea Snow pursed her lips in exasperation, "No, I will use this unscrupulous thing as a keepsake as something that made us come together in this life."

"What!?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim look like he had received the shock of his life.

Ancestor Tirea Snow did not notice the disappointment on his face and instead shyly uttered, "I am surprised that I would hold one of these things in my hand... but it's just that significant in our life."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked as if he was going to cry but had no tears to shed. Something like this was hard to come by, and with his prestige, it would be extremely shameful to obtain one by himself from other major powers.

Nevertheless, an aphrodisiac as a keepsake? There were other things to hold on to, no?

'Mhm... I must get that brat to make another one sometime later...' Ancestor Dian Alstreim's thoughts descended into debauchery as he couldn't help but inwardly lampoon!

However, his expression froze as he saw a figure standing with an awkward smile on its face.

"You brat! You still haven't disappeared yet!?" His expression exploded into one of anger.

"Hehe... I forgot one other thing..."

"What now...!?"

Davis looked at Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression that was about to explode again before he turned to look at Ancestor Tirea Snow, whose expression had a question mark as to why he looked as if was hesitating to ask something.

"Do you really feel grateful to me?" He asked after a silent pause.

"Of course..." Ancestor Tirea Snow nodded her head without a shred of hesitation.

"Then, can you help me mentor my second wife Natalya in the Laws of Ice and Yin?"
