Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3247

'She said it…'

Davis was unable to believe this pipsqueak of a woman had so much bravery in her small frame. Regardless, he knew this was just going to make them doubt them more that he was controlling her, causing him to exude a light sigh.

Sophie and the others also couldn't help but smirk.

A Celestial Fairy joining their side was truly a slap to the faces of those who made fun of them, thinking that they were nothing but decorations on many occasions.

'This lass doesn't think it through…'

Fairy Mei Novara stood shocked. She felt that she would be unable to perform the same feat as her in this already confusing situation. However, there was also a hint of envy, wishing that she could be as carefree as her, but they didn't have the same attitude when it comes to interacting with people.

She was overly polite, and Fairy Cherryweave simply said what she wanted to say, not paying attention to the eyes or thoughts of others.

She had even annulled her marriage agreement with Joren Cherryweave back when she had proved herself to be more than capable of becoming a genius. To overturn the decision of her parents and elders who arranged her marriage through talent and adamance, even that took guts.

"You… wh-what are you saying?"

Cherryweave Family's Patriarch stood there rooted for a few seconds before finally reacting like someone stomped on his foot, his body and expression going stiff.

"Aila, you might've been saved by him, but that doesn't mean you have to give yourself to him."

"Certainly." Fairy Aila Cherryweave nodded as though it was natural, "I have no need to give myself to him, and neither did he ask for my hand. This is a decision taken through my sole discretion. If Father doesn't want to bless the two of us, that's fine. I won't change my decision even if it takes millions of years~"

She puffed her cheeks and looked away, appearing like a spoiled brat while her father was lacking words, unable to berate, and appearing to be extremely troubled.

"Mei, return to us."

The Golden Phoenix Clan's Patriarch commanded, causing Fairy Mei Novara to breathe out lightly. She took a step forward, intending to leave. However, she came to a stop after two steps, her pause causing many hearts to sink as they saw her turn to look toward the most suspicious person.

"Emperor of Death…"

Fairy Mei Novara called out, her voice full of emotion. She even looked at him with a complicated gaze, her golden eyes gleaming, wanting to say something.

"Thank you for protecting us till now. Please be safe~"

But in the end, she cupped her hands and returned to the Golden Phoenix Clan, causing her family's Patriarch to inwardly heave a sigh of relief.

However, Davis already understood what she wanted to say as these words were one of concern for a loved one rather than a warning or advice. She was more elusive in her words, but the intent was the same, only managing to make him unamused as he was unable to respond to their affection as he didn't want to completely corrupt them.

If it was now, they could still leave.

If it went too far, even he would find it difficult to extricate himself, although, at this point, he wondered if he even needed to extricate himself as, for some reason, he imagined that the sorrow imprinted in him had something to do… with losing someone he liked although he couldn't tell for sure as the void remained.

"So you're telling me the other members of your group are trapped in this Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm?"

Once Fairy Mei Novara went to her family's side, she was bombarded with questions by the elders.

Almost all the powers of the Celestial Fairies who entered were assembled here in full force, ranging from their Patriarch to their Ancestor. Therefore, they all looked at her for answers.

"Yes, but since they're with the Astral Pill Upper Realm and the other Upper Realms, they could possibly be evacuated after the realm concoction."

"Your words will hold some weight as their life tablets haven't broken yet, but let's see what becomes of them."

The Twin-Eyed Emerald Serpent Clan's Patriarch spoke with a mild, unamused voice. After all, Fairy Xiu Juili was essentially stuck in that realm. Her life tablet was still intact, but hearing the story, they all imagined that there was no telling what would happen.

Even if they were evacuated, with the spatial vortex closed, it appeared like they would have no way to return.

However, if they were indeed adopted by the so-called Upper Realms, who had many Empyreans in their ranks, then they had little to fear as they were joining greater powers, but would these greater powers even deign to treat their youths with respect and courtesy, or even treat them nicely?

They didn't know, so they were especially worried for the Celestial Fairies who were stuck there.

Either way, they couldn't discern the truth easily, and Davis had no intention to remain. He started walking past them, intending to leave.

Moreover, everyone could see that the full entourage of the Aurora Cloud Gate hadn't returned, so their suspicion of the Emperor of Death secretly massacring everyone or holding them hostage was becoming lesser and lesser, but that didn't mean that he could leave yet, wanting to ask so many things but looking at that little spirit that made them shiver from head to toe, they were unable to say anything to him.

Perhaps that's why Cherryweave Family's Patriarch also didn't make a fuss despite his daughter's ridiculous statement that could bring their entire family into the grave with the slightest misstep.

However, Davis stopped and looked at a certain tribe. He extended out his hand, throwing a spatial ring towards that person. That person was a spirit who was none other than the Patriarch of the Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Spirit.

"As promised, the payment has been delivered, Patriarch Sekan Evernight."

After saying his piece, Davis didn't wait for a reply. He strode forward, leaving the cave as he rose up along with his group. Patriarch Killian Zenflame and the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch weren't here for him to play, so he decided that there was no longer any meaning in staying.

His movements were unimpeded, even with people looking like they wanted to ask him something.

However, Patriarch Sekan Evernight remained dumbfounded as there were as many as thirty Level Four Immortal Emperor Beast Stage Darkness Attributed Beast Cores in the spatial ring. Although he could tell the quality was not much, thirty of these was a high number that it could be said he got twenty times or twenty-five times the payment instead of the ten times he was promised in exchange for the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud Spirit.

He imagined that the quality was already accounted for, hence the crazy amount.

Patriarch Sekan Evernight was overjoyed, never thinking that the investment he made would come back so soon that he also couldn't help but reveal the payment he got with glee, causing everyone to go crazy.

Their geniuses really did land in a realm of abundant cultivation resources and livestock, practically reaping hundreds and thousands of years of benefits! With that being the case, they knew they would thrive, but the matter of relegating their autonomy to Transcendents in exchange for not being attacked was also a problem, making them feel like they had been poured a bucket of water on their heads.

Looking at Cyclonis Blizzara and a few other magical beasts who exuded King-Tier undulations, it was clear that they had a great harvest, even managing to return successfully.

Meanwhile, Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus couldn't help but feel some regret as he taxed them with prepayment of High-Level Immortal Crystal Vein Cores, so he could not take the resources they obtained percentage-wise. Moreover, he had also given free entry to the Emperor of Death and the Central Primesky Alliance, so there was no way he could take treasures from them or the geniuses who were stuck there.

However, he had already come out on top by collecting so many High-Level Immortal Crystal Vein Cores, making his family a force to be reckoned with.

In the end, he still came out on the top, making him smile with satisfaction.

"The Fire Phoenix Clan and the Cyan Soul Rat Clan are in for a reckoning…"

Someone uttered, causing those two factions's expressions to turn unsightly.

Even with the Emperor of Death boldly stating that he killed some of their members, they were unable to say anything, his entire presence backed by that ominous little spirit whose depths were unknown.
