Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3422

"Hehe~ Hehe~ Hehe~"

Natalya just watched the whole thing with delight. Once Davis was done with what was hurrying him, she pounced on him and stuck herself over, appearing to be giddy with delight.

She had been unable to help Jade Aurora much with her as she had to watch over her rather than interfere, so this was quite refreshing to her, like stretching one's limbs without being confined in a box. Sooner than later, she wanted to be reunited with him, so she was zealous that he was here.

Looking at Natalya act as though she was drunk on him, Davis chuckled lightly before he patted her head.

Then he received news of what went on her during her stay in this mini-realm completely.

Apparently, after Natalya made contact with Jade Aurora and killed the seventh son of the Northern Sphere Bandit, the siege on the Jade Lotus Valley and other sects hastened. Some sects were eradicated, leaving only a dozen or so factions left.

But the invading powers couldn't do anything anymore.

For one, Mingzhi hired mercenaries to attack the bandits and poison experts. Two, Natalya was there to defend against overwhelming attacks from the shadows, providing hidden support to Jade Aurora.

Due to this, Jade Aurora's contributions also rose, so she was quickly on her way to becoming Matriarch. At the same time, Faeri, the other candidate, was pissed and tried to use numerous tricks and schemes to bring Jade Aurora down, sometimes even threatening Natalya's status as a guest as she was accused of being a spy.

Now he fully understood why Natalya was so happy to see him because she only made a move from the shadows, fully sticking to Tia's words to not interfere. With him having blown many troubles away, she was now a free bird who wanted to do as she pleased, which was pleasing him and deriving happiness from that.

But now it made Davis wonder if he made a mistake by taking out three mini-bosses who might've had an impact on Jade Aurora's growth.

"Well, leave it. If it comes to it, I'll train Valley Master Jade Aurora myself or have her disciple herself to Myria."

"Ah~ You cannot be half-hearted about this matter. I worked so hard, but now you crashed it like you crashed into my life~"

Natalya pouted as she pulled on his arm, causing Davis to turn and lift her chin.

"I will crash into your room again if you don't behave…"

Seeing his wicked smile, Natalya shuddered with excitement. She tip-toed and pecked his lips, causing Davis to smile at this naughty woman. He imagined she would have gone wet with her main body while still sleeping.

He still couldn't forget about that day, as it had been exhilarating for him as much as it was for Natalya. Other than Mingzhi and Fiora, Natalya would be willing to do all kinds of naughty things with him. She broke many taboos in his life, like making him accept polygamy, even getting him to accept her little sister, and more.

She was special, especially that pleasing mouth of hers that bound his two heads and made his legs go limp all the time.

While he was gazing at her with passionate emotions, Jade Aurora finally returned to his side.

Davis turned to look at her, feeling strange as he smiled.

"I apologize for everything. I hope I have not endangered your position much by appearing here."

"Please- I only wish that I had been the Matriarch by the time you had visited here so I could welcome you to our sect. You may… be an Anarchic Divergent of untold evil as people speak… but I am not the kind of woman who will forget debts…"

"Ah, what debts? I don't remember anything."

"…"

Jade Aurora could only wryly smile behind her veil as she saw Davis feigning ignorance.

Was saving her sect from the vile hands of the Emperor Sword Sect that had gone rogue not considered a debt? Was saving her disciple Ivy Aries and then helping her grow, even allowing her ancestor to revive and be with her grandma, not a debt?

More than anything, was saving her when she was almost poisoned to death in the Poison Rift Valley's rifts not considered a debt?

Thinking about it only made her blush to death because she knew she had been seen buck naked at that time, but she forcefully calmed her emotions and spoke.

"Divine Empe-"

"Davis Loret is fine."

Davis interrupted, causing Jade Aurora to hesitate before she nodded, "The three you just killed were the future Generals of the Poison Haven. The Jade Poison Emperor would be mad, but I guess… you wouldn't need to worry."

"Aha. I grew too fast."

"People who grow fast are subjected to innumerable hardships. I can't possibly understand what you went through, but I heard about the Fire Phoenix Clan and your decision. I'm glad you're still the person I know…"

"…"

Davis heard Jade Aurora's relaxing voice and glanced at Natalya.

She looked away and whistled silently as though she hadn't done anything.

'This naughty vixen… I have to discipline her…!'

Davis inwardly swore. Her guts were too big, enough to even throw a net at Saintess Lunaria. He was afraid she would've gotten hurt, but thankfully, Saintess Lunaria was magnanimous and didn't bother as she had lived for millions of years.

Glancing back at Jade Aurora, he smiled.

"It indeed was a tough decision to make as I'd rather have them disappear, but I personally saw that many people were irrelevant to my revenge, so I spared them. Nonetheless, this person called the Emerald Death Knight said something about Hex Laws. I didn't have time before to experience his prowess, but do you know what would've happened if I let him continue…?"

Jade Aurora didn't even notice him changing the topic as she contemplated and answered.

"The moment you stepped into his emerald poison field, you were actually hexed. He was just making a show, having yet to activate the hex, but you finished him off before that. If it did activate, then from your skin to bones, everything would've melted. Even if your energy could counter it, it is very difficult to get rid of it, creating rashes from corrosion which will make you itchy and then give you this unbearable sensation to scratch, only make yourself bleed to death unknowingly as you would be losing droves of blood essence from the hex."

"Woah…"

Davis was pleasantly surprised to hear about the Emerald Deathly Knight's Hex Technique. Its power wasn't much, but he gave it ninety marks as a torture technique. Since he had their spatial rings and soul essences, he was confident he could learn these techniques and share them with Evelynn.

His Poison Laws had lagged behind, but sharing a comprehension cloud and having her study the technique should be easier.

"Even if it did activate, I doubted his hex would've been able to harm my husband. Enemies at this level should just stay clear of us."

Natalya shuddered, but she refused to accept that anything could've happened to Davis.

Jade Aurora smiled. For some reason, she didn't doubt that even though she couldn't see through Davis's full strength. However, she was quite curious about that unknown space creature that was captured and taken away.

"I don't know what just happened, but I think you saved my mini-realm. Am I wrong?" She smiled as she asked.

"Well, you're not wrong, but a bit- oh, well, leave it. The strange black-purple sphere you saw is a unique lifeform known as the Voidslime Realm Eater, similar to your sect's Guardian Lotus but mindless and probably way more dangerous."

"Ah!"

Jade Aurora placed her hand on her mouth. She then heard more specifics about the Voidslime Realm Eater. Her face turned increasingly pale, unable to believe that their mini realm was besieged by such an existence.

In her eyes, it was only a strange existence like a space-attributed spirit that managed to cross mini-realms and not something to be worried about. But hearing what it was capable of, her brain trembled.

"I guess… you saved us again."

"As I said, don't think about it."

Davis waved his hand. If he didn't hunt the Voidslime Realm Eater with Stella, perhaps Jade Aurora and Ivy Aries would've been able to defeat it, but on second thought, he imagined that it wouldn't be without sacrifice. They would've lost everything else, becoming rogue cultivators in the end.

"…"

Allowing fate bubbles to stay clear of him really wasn't his forte. By this time, he recognized he influenced he had changed the trajectory of so many lives in this mini-realm. After all, by his calculations, the Voidslime Realm Eater should've devoured both the Cyan Den Mini Realm and the Jadedrite Mini Realm before it was finally counter-devoured by Ivy Aries, Jade Aurora, and the Guardian Lotus's sacrifice.

Otherwise, he possibly couldn't see how they would've won against it.

"Then please stay with us for some more time if it's not asking for much. Some may not understand the weight of the situation, but since I know you saved us, I wouldn't be able to let you walk away like that. Let us show our thanks through our hospitality."

"Hoho~ What is this?" Natalya placed a hand before her mouth and giggled, "The mighty Nicejade, who doesn't want my help in most matters, wants to borrow the Emperor of Death's might to accelerate her status to the level of the Matriarch?"

"It's not like that…! And I'm not Nicejade!"

Jade Aurora complained as she screamed at Natalya, making Davis think how many times Natalya called her Nicejade to be this frustrated.

"Fine… just a day…"

Davis's brows quivered as he gazed at Jade Aurora's flushed face, finding it difficult to decline her request because of the gratitude he held towards her other life that was forgotten by everyone else other than Tia.

Jade Aurora spoke about debts, but he was ashamed that he could never repay what she had given him, a chance to survive with everyone aboard.

That's why he acted like she owed him nothing. He owed her far more than he could settle.

As for other matters, Stella carried the Voidslime Realm Eater back to her home where her mother was, so his mission was complete. With the Void Dust Empress there, he couldn't imagine anything would go wrong, so he dispersed his soul body.

Therefore, there was no problem with him staying.

However, staying still wasn't his style, so he created his soul body anew, heading towards the exit of the mini-realm, intending to make contact with the Cleaving Wolf Empress, the bandit leader of the Cleaving Wolf Gang and the third sister of Panqa and Lanqua.
