Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3596

Soon, Davis arrived back home and… led Fairy Aila Cherryweave straight to one of the unoccupied units in his mansion.

"Here, this is where you're going to be staying until the Candidacy ends."

"…" Fairy Aila Cherryweave blinked.

She turned to look at him, seemingly expecting more.

However, Davis shook his head, "If I see you right now, I don't think I can stop myself and I have to focus on cultivation or I would be deemed irresponsible by the Harem Council. You saw how empty it was out there that some master assassin could definitely make it inside. Even the soul warriors of my Reaper Soul Legion have immersed themselves in training."

"…"

"After this, I'm going to send my avatar straight into a hellish, studious journey and remain secluded most of the time, so if you need anything, go see Natalya or Yotan. If both of them aren't available, go see Mingzhi or Sophie."

"Mh-mm~"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave pouted as she glared at him, but two seconds later, she raised her chin and smiled.

"Alright, I'm already here, so you can't escape me."

"That's true."

Davis chuckled, "I'll send you a bunch of resources catered to your cultivation, but don't expect much improvement. Our treasury is already running on low fumes after we spared no expense in order to become powerful."

"Anything is fine." Fairy Aila Cherryweave pursed her lips, "I'm satisfied with the arrangement, my love."

"I hope you are satisfied, or I will need to exit seclusion and personally come to meet you."

"Then I'll make some fuss in the future, hoping you would come~"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave giggled before she skipped and walked into the empty unit, spinning around as her pink hair swung around with her, dazzling Davis.

He felt a bit sad, feeling he had robbed something from this cheerful woman. He could understand her determination but still couldn't understand why she would choose him out of all the men out there.

Just because he saved her? For a Celestial Fairy, that would be a common occurrence as every man would dream of saving her and would be satisfied with just getting a longer look from her.

However, she pined on him like was an attached girlfriend, making his heart swell with-

"I love you, Aila."

"…!"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave turned to look at the entrance but she didn't find his figure nor sense his presence anymore, making her bite her lips. She quivered, tears swelling in her eyes as she smiled sweetly.

"I'll be awaiting your presence, my love~"

As her voice filled with longing emotions fell silently, a head peeked out from the entrance from the wall, causing her to blink before she hurriedly rubbed her eyes.

"Sophie~"

"Aila~"

Sophie stepped out and closed the distance, "Glad you're finally here. Did you know that everyone supported you? Let me show you around but I'm sorry… I could only greet you with my soul body…"

"No… I understand you're all busy."

Fairy Aila Cherryweave was taken aback by the welcome and felt a bit awkward as Sophie acted as though her presence was normal or expected in this place.

Did everyone really support her? She had indeed planned to impress them with her sincerity but if that worked, wouldn't every woman attain what they wanted without having to be rely on deception or other methods?

Nonetheless, with Sophie here, her heart that had taken a beating from leaving her family was soothed a bit. She also hoped for Tina to show up as they two were the ones she befriended the most during the time she shared with them in the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm.

Davis had long returned to seclusion after speaking with Myria and Tia about Dimensions. However, he didn't cultivate since he was still healing his soul essence. Everlight also continued to help him patiently, so he blinked at her with another request welling up in his mind.

"Do you think you can help me improve Nyoran's bloodline to Emperor-Tier by utilizing your species technique Bloodline Impelling Evolution: Regal?"

Everlight opened her eyes upon suddenly hearing his request.

She gazed at him and noticed him having a solemn expression on his face although his eyes seemed to be guilty. She couldn't help but curl her lips in response. After all, it was no different than asking her to sacrifice three of her azure-white tails.

"I really need Nyoran. She's one of our escape routes if you need a reason-"

"It doesn't matter." Everlight shook her head.

"Whatever you ask, I will use my life to fulfill it, master~"

"That's reassuring…" Davis felt moved, smiling wryly, "I love that, but I wouldn't want you to follow mindlessly. I asked and didn't command you because you can reject bringing harm to yourself for reasons you do or don't understand. I can search for another way, although it would take much more time, probably indefinite."

Everlight also smiled, "Master, I'm not following mindlessly. I know you will always look out for us, and sacrificing three tails isn't really much, considering you can heal it for me and spare me having to wait two hundred and seventy years. Only, I will have to eradicate the soul essences in three of my tails in order to use the technique, so some will lose their ability to revive through me or revive through respawn point, as Mingzhi would call it."

"I see."

"It's not a problem as long as they acquiesce." She added.

"Alright, I'll talk to them. Tell me who they are-"

"I can do that, so please take some rest and focus on your cultivation, master. We magical beasts do not need to cultivate as hard as humans. We only need to eat and sleep, and I have already done that a lot these days since I returned, so I'm free enough to take care of Nyoran by myself."

"That's good to hear…"

Everlight giggled lightly, and Davis wanted to say thanks for listening to him.

However, he was mesmerized by Everlight's pure smile and genuine emotions that said she wanted to be of help to him.

"M-Master…?"

Everlight noticed the change in his gaze, and in the next second, she was pushed down to the bed, causing her beautiful eyelids to quiver.

"No one said that we cannot heal through soul dual cultivation, did they? Let's try it…"

Davis felt his heart pound faster, and it was no different for Everlight, whose heart skipped a beat first.

He cut off his connection with the avatar, used the Rapturous Soul Aroma Manual, and superimposed his soul body over himself, slowly removing Everlight's dress as he kissed her on her lips.

Soon, they were naked and a reincarnation wheel appeared above them and instead of a Nether Springs Death Wolf appearing along with a Nine Lives Gracious Fox, only the latter appeared.

"…"

Everlight's gaze shook as she saw herself in him. She could also feel a stronger connection between her soul and Davis's soul, and the resulting dual cultivation made her feel like she was floating in the heavens.

Davis's brain also turned mush. During this time, he didn't know what happened outside as no one contacted him and his avatar didn't relink either, so he guessed everything was going good.

Sooner than expected, Davis found himself healed. His soul essence had recovered up to ninety-nine percent, astonishing him. Getting to ninety-nine percent was extremely difficult, so he would stop at ninety-seven or ninety-eight, but he didn't think soul dual cultivating with Everlight would be this efficient when it comes to healing.

Even more shockingly, he didn't even feel exhausted like he would usually feel when he dual cultivated using his soul.

Was it because he soul dual cultivated with life energy only? Or was it because of the shared connection he had with Everlight through the Everlasting Samsara Tribunal Soul Physique?

He felt like the answer was most likely the latter!
