Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1735

"Congratulations to the Emperor of Death!~~~"

Deafening congratulatory voices from the surroundings erupted, and even the Alstreim Family people, who watched the marriage proceedings through projections, erupted into a cry that reverberated through the skies as if shaking the immensity of heaven and earth in the Grand Alstreim City.

Davis became taken aback and almost felt bad that he didn't have many people from the Alstreim Family here as he heard their resounding voices, but still, at least felt good that he used the name Davis Alstreim to marry Shirley instead of using Davis Loret, which might've tarnished the Alstreim Family's reputation if he used the latter.

"It looks so beautiful~"

Nonetheless, Shirley's focus was fully on the brilliant phoenix ring, her wedding ring.

Behind the altar, Evelynn, Natalya, and Isabella also raised their right hands and looked at the dazzling rings with specific designs that Davis presented them this morning after getting dressed up.

Evelynn possessed a lustrous purple gem of an artistic dark spider which made her feel good, contrary to what she expected to get as this should be a symbol of trust and loyalty from her towards him.

'Seems like I accept myself for who I am...'

Evelynn gently looked at the ring while the others had similar thoughts, like Natalya possessing the glossy gem of ice crystal on her ring and Isabella possessing the radiant glow of a brownish-gold dragon on her ring's gem, almost resembling Mira in it. They now had their own wedding rings that Mo Mingzhi said were a must to show that they were married to him as the rings had the commonality of having his name [Davis] carved on it, while Sophie raised her head with a proud expression on her face.

However, she wasn't complacent because she was ready to reforge them and make them stronger in the future, with more defensive features! With her current strength, she could only make the rings enough to make them defend against Eighth Stage Experts, which wasn't any use as all three were already more powerful.

She knew her lack of skill and wanted her grandfather, Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, to craft these important rings as he broke through to the Law Rune Stage with Davis sharing some resources as though they were gifts for courting her, but Mo Mingzhi encouraged her and said that if these crafted rings didn't come from her, it wouldn't have much meaning.

And indeed, when she presented the rings to Davis the first morning, he was utterly overjoyed with her actions and showered her with sweet kisses and endearing love, making her immensely satisfied over the work she had done the past few days.

She felt that she had to thank Mo Mingzhi for this idea.

Before, she had made matching weapons with the help of our grandfather, but now, she felt that she had to do it all by herself! She was nothing but excited about becoming their family's blacksmith.

"Let the banquet begin!"

Soon, Ancestor Dian Alstreim roared before the maids assigned came out from the palaces and served the guests with big plates full of dishes containing the Aqua Flood Dragon's meat. In the Purple Guest Palace, a few maids were also serving, but they were not Bylai Zlatan and Zestria Domitian. The two of them were solely reserved for serving Davis and his family.

Davis and Shirley sat together and partook in the feast. Mo Mingzhi came at them with a sly smile and took pictures of them eating with tons of Imagery Stones, each engraved with numbers with her soul force. She teased them before they all had a laugh, ensuing a joyous atmosphere in the air.

The others were also taken aback by their unity as they feasted. Everlight, who had also come, was glad that she was invited to eat the delicious dragon meat that she had dreams about when napping.

But on the other hand, two shocked people appeared in front of them and asked what the 'Emperor of Death' was before Isabella brought them away and explained what had happened to them.

Both Mark Ruth and Louis Ashton were more than shocked as they possessed horrified expressions on their faces.

They went through such an experience while they were living their lives peacefully under the unification of the Grand Sea Alliance? They almost rushed towards Davis and Shirley but were stopped by Isabella.

"Fathers, you can't harm Shirley's reputation this way. Those who already know are already keeping their mouth's shut."

"Ah...! Right."

Louis Ashton looked particularly anxious before he calmed his panic, gazing at Shirley's smiling expression from a distance.

"Well, son-in-law is safe, and my prized daughter is also smiling as I envisioned. I guess there's no real need to worry, and I call myself an emperor. How embarrassing..."

Louis Ashton scratched his head as he turned around and clasped his hand.

"Thank you for explaining all that to us and calling me father."

"Of course, fourth sister's imperial father is also my father."

Isabella smirked as she smiled, causing Louis Ashton to feel heartened before the former glanced at Mark Ruth.

"Imperial father, I'm also..."

As she spoke, she caressed her flat stomach and lowered her head in shyness.

"Ahahahah!"

Both the fathers-in-law's jaws dropped as they shot a shocked look at each other before they burst into a fit of laughter and hugged tightly. They understood that both their daughters were conceived with Davis's child, making them feel like they were grandfathers for the first time even though they were already grandfathers.

It was just; they understood that their two new grandchildren were going to be far more talented than any grandchildren they had before.

Isabella's lips twitched as she saw these two emperors hug as though they were brothers. This wasn't a sight she would've normally seen back in the Grand Sea Continent that she thought their subjects would flip if they saw them like this.

'I better take an image of this scene like Mo Mingzhi...'

However, still feeling shy amidst their roaring laughter, she was unable to move.

In the distance, Sect Master Lea Weiss watched them with narrowed eyes before she turned to look at Davis, adopting a calm demeanor as she took a piece and ate for the first time before her expression changed.

'This is... really delicious...'

She had eaten Emperor Grade Magical Beast Meat of this caliber a lot of times, but the taste was not only exquisite but rich in perfect spices that it made her wonder was it because the meat belonged to a dragon or was it because of the chef. Nonetheless, she couldn't help but savor a little more of the Aqua Flood Dragon meat. But before she could realize it, she cleaned her big plate and had to call another serving with her lips twitching in embarrassment.

Time passed.

Sun had already set, and darkness virtually encased the world.

By this time, the banquet was about to end while Davis and the others had their fun. Guests had already begun leaving. Furthermore, in the Burning Phoenix Ridge, Sect Master Lea Weiss had already returned with the disciples but did not bring back two people.

She went to the Ancestral Hall, only to meet an old lady who looked at her with narrowed eyes.

"Little Lea, why didn't you bring back Esvele? Freya, I can understand, but you left the current most talented disciple in that place? What is the meaning of this?"

Sect Master Lea Weiss didn't seem to be scared as she kept her composure, her expression looking tranquil.

"Ancestor Cornelia, although it was Shirley's request, I have my own thoughts about this matter. Shirley will grow faster than me, faster than any of our disciples, so I felt that Esvele should tag along with her than stay in the Burning Phoenix Ridge."

"Insolent!" Ancestor Cornelia trembled, "We've already lost Shirley as she belongs to the Emperor of Death, but now, you also left Esvele there? What are you thinking?"

Sect Master Lea Weiss lifted her head and looked at the Calamity Light as her gaze pierced through the walls. Her lips moved as a soul transmission entered Ancestor Cornelia's mind.

"What? You..."

Ancestor Cornelia looked dumbfounded before Lea Weiss's expression twitched as she slowly lowered her head and looked at the former.

"As the Sect Master, I command you to give up on your dreams and live for the sect as long as possible."

"How cruel..."

Ancestor Cornelia's brows twitched while her wrinkled face also looked pained.

"Can you not forget, Little Lea?"

"That's what I'm going to do."

Sect Master Lea Weiss nodded as she looked away before Ancestor Cornelia heaved a long sigh.

"I see."

"Before, I thought you would not be able to progress much, but now I can see that I underestimated your talent and growth potential that I already think that it is a waste to keep you with the declining sect."

"Ancestor Cornelia, I promise to return and help the sect with all my-"

"I know what kind of person you are, Little Lea. Just go on before I change my mind..."

Ancestor Cornelia waved her hands as she turned around. Sect Master Lea Weiss's lips quivered while her eyes appeared teary. The next second, she knelt to the ground and kowtowed not once but thrice before she left with tears falling from her eyes.

After some time of loud silence, a sigh echoed out from Ancestor Cornelia.

"Sigh, this child is hopeless in the matters of love..."
