Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1903

Davis turned to look at Zestria and watched her fair complexion and her measuring gaze. Even her frail-looking fingers had shaken before when she spoke up, making him realize that he had unwittingly neglected her for her to be this wary.

How could a Domitian bearing the Fire Dragon's Blood actually feel this way? Was she intimidated because of the others? Absolutely not because she felt that she had not received his love as the others have.

"Shirley, did Zestria come to meet you these days?"

"No, she's cultivating her soul with the utmost importance, probably to prove that she's worthy of you to you."

"I see."

Davis exchanged soul transmission with Shirley and understood the gist of it. This damn fiery woman hadn't engaged in socializing with her sisters and so still felt not a part of them, all because she wanted to prove herself quickly.

"Zestria. Come here."

"…!?"

Zestria became stunned as she heard Davis beckon her to his side. Placing the utensils down while inwardly panicking, she still stood from her seat and moved two steps back, walking towards him amidst the women's gazes on the left side before standing beside Davis, looking confused as she held both her hands in nervousness.

She wore a pale crimson robe with fire dragon patterns, complimenting the hue of her crimson features were darker than Shirley's, making her look alluring like a cascading sunset.

Even the women were momentarily stunned by her beauty that hadn't been this reflective all this time, making them feel as though she was intentionally pushing herself to the dark all this time.

Davis's gaze was measuring her entire figure before he asked.

"Do you know why I summoned you here for?"

"Did I make a mistake?" Zestria bit her lips.

"You did."

Davis nodded, causing her shoulders to tremble.

"Zestria is willing to accept any punishment."

Zestria bowed her head, but then, a gust of wind abruptly lifted her up, causing her to lose balance in shock before she found herself in a place she never imagined that she would be in public.

Her entire being froze as she found herself on Davis's lap, sitting on him. One of his hands was firmly wrapped around her waist, making her aware that she was caught in his grasp.

Instantly, the blush on her neck ran across to her cheek and ear, making her look gorgeous and lovely.

Everyone wondered what Davis was doing with wide or astonished eyes when they saw him use the fork to pierce a piece of succulent meat before he brought it in front of Zestria's mouth.

"Say aaa…"

Zestria heavily blushed under the scrutiny of everyone but still opened her mouth, her crimson lips parting before the delicious fried meat was put into her mouth before the fork was taken out.

She closed her mouth and began chewing subconsciously before gazing at his entrancing sapphire eyes, wondering what kind of punishment was this.

Was this supposed to humiliate her? It left her feeling stunned by his warmth instead.

"Do you think that I still don't love you even after what we did on the bed that night?"

"…!"

Zestria almost jumped from that topic being brought up that her shades of crimson became more prevalent on her jade white skin.

"My Emperor, I don't dare assume your thoughts."

Her lips trembled, her big bosoms heaving near to his face.

Zestria's exquisite fragrance and the sight and feel of her curvaceous body were enough to make him go crazy on her, but his face was expressionless as he stared at her.

"Is that my mistake…?"

When Zestria bit her lips, understanding, Davis slowly nodded his head.

"Can I… hug?"

"Do you need permission to act like my woman when you're my woman?"

Zestria instantly wrapped her hand around his neck as her shoulders began to shake.

'I truly did neglect her...'

Davis inwardly sighed as he felt her silently cry on him. He saw her eyes become misty before she threw herself and hid her face behind him that probably only Evelynn and Isabella could see her cry from their view.

At the same time, he could see his women cast teasing looks at him.

"Davis, not only did you bully Isabella back then but now Zestria too. How many dragons are you going to bully?"

Shirley couldn't help but giggle while Davis raised his chin and spoke profoundly.

"As many as I want because… you know, I'm something of a dragon slayer myself..."

"Ahaha!"

While everyone found his words a bit funny, Mingzhi started laughing out loud, making it funnier for them.

Davis caressed Zestria's back as though she was a baby. He never thought she would make herself vulnerable at this moment, but she did, causing him to speak again.

"But on a serious note, if anyone else still thinks Zestria is a war prisoner of some sort, abandon that idea, for she is also my lover. Even if you don't acknowledge her, give her a chance. I'm sure that she would reciprocate."

While most looked amused, Dalila was taken aback by Davis's kindness, tears welling up in her eyes.

The Domitian Family had sinned when they went after Isabella and even his entire family, but to be forgiven, they sent their innocent Dragon Queen as a sacrifice. The people of the world lamented Zestria's fate, but here she was, looking as though she had obtained her true love.

"Davis, she's the one who didn't show up to our gatherings, so why are you blaming us?" Evelynn giggled.

"I'm not blaming, just telling." Davis corrected before he patted Zestria's back, "You heard them, Zestria. You must communicate with your sisters, or else..."

"Mhm. I will…!"

Zestria echoed but didn't remove her embrace, tightly holding him as though she wanted this moment to last a lifetime.

Now it was Davis who wryly laughed as he was caught in an awkward position. Since he relaxed, her body heat was getting to him. He took a deep breath to calm himself, but it was not working as only her scent entered his nostrils.

He knew that he could not tell her to leave as she was probably deeply embarrassed, so he stood up after some time when he could tell that she recollected herself, walked towards her seat while princess-carrying her before gently dropping her bottom on the seat.

Zestria now hid her face with her palms, wiping every trace of tears before she raised her head and forcefully smiled.

"Everyone, I, Zestria Loret-"

She began speaking with a suppressed voice before it slowly improved. She used this chance to speak to all, let them know of her past and why she abandoned the name of Domitian.

The banquet slowly headed towards a good direction, and the lovely beauties finally began recognizing her, even occasionally teasing Zestria and Dalila as they took advantage of their seniority.

Their small gathering became a huge success.

Davis thought that there would be some fights for real as his harem had grown big enough, but everyone was level-headed and understanding, causing him to inwardly heave a sigh of relief. The only matter that came close to a fight was the two blood sisters screaming at each other in the beginning, but even that was for taking care of each other.

The small banquet had gone for a few hours, and now, it was an hour past midnight.

In another room, an icy-white robed figure sat cross-legged on the floor as they cultivated. Their features were covered by a faint layer of snow, while their figure also simultaneously blended with the energy as the snow-patterned robe further helped with concealment.

However, the snowy layer began to flicker at this moment, and the expression of their face warped before the energy cascaded, causing their body to tremble before revealing a transcending visage of a snow-white beauty.

"Aah…"

A deep sigh emerged from the rosy lips of this icy-white robed woman.

"You can't concentrate, Tanya."

"That much, even I can figure out, Pia..."

Pia echoed inside Tanya Frostblight's soul sea, causing the latter to reply.

"Then why do you keep trying…?"

"…"

"Tanya."

"What else can I do after I messed up like that…? You know… I ran away from him. Ran…! What kind of woman does that? I'm so cowardly…! As a sword cultivator, I don't even have the courage to face him. As an ice cultivator, I could not calm my mind…! My heart is in shambles, and you're asking me why I keep trying…?"

A slew of questions that sounded like answers echoed from Tanya Frostblight's mouth, causing silence to revel before Pia's voice echoed in her soul sea.

"I am insensitive. I apologize."

"…"

Tanya Frostblight took a deep breath before she spoke again, "No, I apologize. I'm ashamed to call myself a Falling Snow Sect disciple if I continue to be like this."

*Knock!~*

Suddenly, a sound echoed, causing Tanya Frostblight's head to swivel in that direction before she heaved a breath and stood up, thinking that it must be Natalya, Ancestor Tirea Snow, or Grand Elder Rosella Frostblight who came to check on her.

'How I'm going to face Natalya after this… I don't know. She definitely would have many questions for me as I probably made it obvious to the whole world that I love him by flusteredly running away like that...'

Tanya Frostblight was full of remorse and nervousness as she went towards the door and opened it when her expression suddenly froze, looking at the purple-robed handsome man in front of her.

"Em-Emperor of Death…!"

It was as though electricity ran through Tanya Frostblight's body as she stood in attention.

"Oh? For a little girl who said that she will kick my ass if I don't look after Natalya properly back then, you're awfully humble now, aren't you?"

Davis's lips curved into an amusing grin while Tanya Frostblight reeled in disbelief.
