Divine Emperor of Death

chapter-1458
Davis thought that Isabella was just testing or teasing him if he wanted Mo Mingzhi or not, but the way she was speaking made him feel as if she genuinely approved of him taking Mo Mingzhi into his harem.
"Yes,"
Isabella heavily nodded, her expression producing a dignified smile as she confirmed his assumption.
"As your woman, I have the right to recommend you another woman I approve of. When I said that you deserved more, I meant it. Or if you don't like it, you should just say so. I'll gladly keep my mouth clo-"
"Oh my princess, keep doing what you were doing..."Davis spoke with a straight face while Isabella giggled, appearing to find his words hilarious.
"You sneaky crown prince..." Isabella teasingly smiled, "You don't want to give up your privileges, do you?"
"As a matter of fact, I don't." Davis wantonly smiled before he shook his head, "But you can be assured that I won't abuse or misuse it. I'm so full right now that I feel like I have so little space to let women enter in my life anymore. It is already set in stone that I would reach the peak with you all, so don't bother introducing women to me for a few centuries at least."
Isabella rolled her beautiful eyes.
"You say that, but I can already see you taking a few more women in this century."
"Hehe..." Davis chuckled, "Perhaps, but I still need to garner all your acceptance."
"That's why we love you so much~"Isabella answered, her teasing smile turning tender. When talking with him, she didn't feel constricted at all. She even brought up teaching Mo Mingzhi a lesson, but he did not seem angered with her, making her realize that she was more important to him than some random little girl he had taken care of in the past.
"Davis, it's fine and all that we're able to talk about this without quarreling. However, it would help if you could hold yourself from sleeping with these women you mentioned or anyone new before we marry. Can you hold back for me, please?"
Isabella bit her lips in concern while Davis pursed his lips, smiling with amusement.
"That's obvious. Even though it might be okay, sleeping with my wives, or any women for that matter is one of the worst things I can do to you in these two weeks where we jointly wait for our marriage night. The effort we put into holding back right now will go to us when we enter the nuptial chamber. Isn't that right, Isabella?"
Isabella's eyes lit up while she blushed, feeling that he was extremely romantic as her heart felt touched.
She didn't go as far as to deny him his wives, but she felt overjoyed that he would give her his time these two weeks. However, she didn't know that Davis had already decided to abstain from sexual pleasures with his women because he needed to restore his virility to deeply satisfy Isabella at the wedding night.
He was very much looking forward to it like a connoisseur and wanted to impress her as much as she wanted to fascinate him.
Their feelings were mutual.
"What do you think we should do in these two weeks?" Isabella happily replied, "I would love it if we could spend some time together, and I miss my sisters as well."
"Well, we can return now, but for what next, I think we can unite under a single banner and rule the Grand Sea Continent."
Davis deeply smiled as he raised one of his brows.
"What do you say? After all, we might get very busy after our marriage."
Isabella's black eyes almost shone golden as her cheeks came to possess a crimson blush.
"I also love that thought very much..."
They both smiled at each other, looking they were hatching the evilest plot of the century while Nadia blinked, taking in all the information she didn't know about before.
Nevertheless, this sudden decision to unite the Grand Sea Continent wasn't sudden or influenced. It wasn't much different.
Even if it was not for Isabella or Nadia or anyone for that matter, Davis had already thought of uniting the Grand Sea Continent because he didn't want the Guardian Alliance to think that they still own the path to the secret entrance, not to mention that he didn't want to give other Empires a misconception that they still own their Empires with their meager strength.
However, it wasn't like he was going to commit senseless murder.
This was conquest, what the other Empires would naturally do if they gained power.
When their Loret Empire was in strife with rebellious forces, two sneaky Empires naturally took the opportunity to attack, and it would be the same if they were weak.
He would send envoys to have them submit peacefully under 'his' rule and get them to become a subordinate, in which case they would become Kingdoms. Of course, if they didn't want to become subordinate Kingdoms with their meager strength, then they might have to pay the price.
A price that demanded bloodshed...!
=======
After Davis and Isabella celebrated their reunion with a few dozen kisses rather than a thousand while also managing to exchange a lot of information and resolve their misunderstandings and differences, he took her to the Loret Empire.
Of course, he informed Emperor Mark Ruth that he was taking his daughter away so as not to worry him while the person was glad that they were asking him in the first place. Mark Ruth didn't care if it were just for appearances as he enjoyed in the respect his son-in-law gave him, feeling that his trust in him was well deserved.
Right after that, Davis took Isabella back to the Loret Empire. Nadia let them both mount on her as she shot through the Grand Sea Continent, flapping her dark wings. Nevertheless, it only took less than a minute for them to arrive, which made Nadia speechless.
The distance between the two Empires was so short for her that she felt she would've liked to carry Davis on her back, feeling the breeze for a longer time.
Nevertheless, Isabella quickly met up with Evelynn and Natalya, each clasping their hands in a triangle which made Davis feel heartened because they did not appear to be awkward at all. They retained the same energy they left with, which made him feel relaxed and assured.
A man required peace at home, and a man with a harem rarely ever had peace. Either the women had irrational and unresolvable differences, or most of them fought for the man's time and favor, making life miserable for both parties, but his women were getting along very well as he tried to favor them all equally, giving them much time as possible to spend with him.
"Fiora, right?"
The woman who didn't know what to do or say by the side just kept looking, feeling a bit left out, when she suddenly heard Isabella's voice, who turned to look at her.
"Ah, Dragon Queen...! Yes?"
Looking at Fiora's adorable startled reaction, Isabella became taken aback before she giggled.
"Fiora, you don't need to call me by that fake title. Since you have completely become Davis's, you need to call me third sister while I call you fourth sister. This matter is not up for negotiation, and I think you understand, fourth sister."
Fiora blinked thrice, taken aback by the warm welcome before she heavily nodded her head, "Understood, third sister."
The existence in front of her was rumored to be at the Ninth Stage, the Martial Overlord Stage by Davis's siblings, and this was their first meeting, so she only felt that it was a given that she would be treated with contempt at worst or treated with ignorance for the better. She certainly didn't expect to be treated equally, which made her feel moved, bestowing her with immense confidence.
A Ninth Stage existence treated her as an equal, and she felt compelled to meet her expectations to keep that respect. It wasn't like this feeling wasn't here when Davis gave her confidence and love, but it became more because she wanted to be the same as her sisters.
Fiora was aware that she would have to cultivate hundred times harder than them to catch up to them all. She was feeling motivated when Isabella spoke again.
"We're going to... Uhm, dismantle a power that has been present from ancient times. Do you want to come with us, you three?"
"Sure."
"Count me in~"
"I'm coming too~"
Evelynn, Natalya, and Fiora replied in sync. They all knew the limit of the Grand Sea Continent and were free to roam as they please because they were all basically powerhouses here. Nevertheless, they obediently stayed at the Loret Imperial Castle, chatting and giggling while waiting for their man to come back, and now it seems like they were heading somewhere, they quickly became interested.
"You all get ready in a few minutes." Davis smiled, "I have another work for Clara, so I'll go quickly inform her."
They all nodded, watching him leave before Isabella's expression changed, turning to look at Fiora with an expression of contempt.
"How dare you shamelessly call me third sister. Are you even worthy?"
Fiora froze as her body stiffened. What's with this sudden change in tone? Could it be that third sister was actually two-faced?
If she noticed her other two other sisters imperceptibly smile, she would've noticed right away, but at this moment, Isabella towered in front of her, just her presence causing her to feel so small.
"I'm a woman who inherited an entire Immortal Inheritance and would eventually become an Immortal within this century, yet you expect me to call you fourth sister?" Isabella's voice was cold, "How amusing..."
Fiora lowered her head, beginning to tremble.
"Third sister, don't overdo it." Natalya suddenly interjected, "Or else, she would really take it that you're serious after reading so many romance novels, thinking that you're a two-faced sister who will make her life miserable in the harem."
She shook her head while having a faint smile on her face.
"Pfft! Ahaha!~!"
Isabella laughed, causing Fiora to be instantly dumbfounded.
"Come on, Fiora. Did you really think that I was going to change faces once our man left?"
Fiora became embarrassed, her face blushing hard as she kept her mouth shut tight. She did indeed think that, but she wasn't going to expose herself as she would just end up garnering more embarrassment.
Abruptly, she was embraced by Isabella, causing her to blink.
"If you have any problems in cultivation or with Davis, talk it through with us, okay? We're always there for you, fourth sister."
Isabella's tone was so gentle that Fiora felt a chill as her eyes teared up.
"Mhm!~"
She heavily nodded and embraced Isabella, feeling welcomed more than she thought she was a moment ago.
Looking at their third sister instantly close the distance with Fiora, Evelynn and Natalya smiled.
"Fiora, third sister already supported you before she left. It is unthinkable that she would mistreat you, but prepare for being tempered as third sister wishes us to be strong enough to support Davis and defend ourselves when needed." Natalya smiled.
"We big sisters also wish the same, so there's no difference between our wishes, Fiora," Evelynn added.
"Isn't the power we are after from the Grand Sea Continent?" Natalya questioned before she deeply smiled, "My little sister is perfect, not too strong, not too weak for her to dismantle them."
"Indeed, are you ready for your first tempering experience, Fiora?"
Isabella's eyes flashed while Fiora blinked before she smilingly nodded her head.
She really couldn't say no as she could tell all the three sisters had the same intentions for her, but she was also equally excited as she wanted to test her current cultivation.
It had been a long time since she battled because the last time she ever recalled truly battling was when she was ambushed by an old man from the Astoria Family before being saved by Davis, who was disguised as Alchemist Scythe at that time.
No one ever truly seen her battle other than her elder sister, so she felt that she must make them understand that she was battle-hardened than they thought her to be!
After all, she didn't dominate the youths at her level in the Astoria Family for nothing! While her elder sister stayed at home, cultivating peacefully, she roamed the Astoria Family, targeting bullies as she put them in their place!
