Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 812 Top Disciple



Davis felt that there was no need for his wives to make him proud through battle.

Personally, he was content as long as he could cradle and protect them in his arms. That's why he didn't put much thought into tempering them into an expert in the past.

That wasn't accurate. He did try to temper them in the past.

An instance was when he sent Evelynn to participate in the Earth Dragon Immortal's Trial. At that time, he became afraid of losing her, but she came out fortunately and even cleared the Sky Grade Trial.

That still didn't cause him to lose his heart to temper them. However, there was a breaking point.

Because, the last time he tried to train Evelynn in the Sunset Tear Mountain, he deliberately let her cry and almost fall prey to the devious hands of the Heinous Scourge of the Sunset Tear Mountain.

It was truly a close call, not in terms of Evelynn's health as he was beside her the whole time but her mental health, which was under severe stress from sorrow, making her almost foolishly believe that he would leave her one day.

Fortunately, Evelynn didn't let herself despair and instead unleashed her full power at the Heinous Scourge to kill him, and just when he thought that she would be a different person due to the mental scar, she broke through to the Young Soul Stage as if conquering her fears of him leaving one day.

From that day onwards, he felt a little scared to temper them.If he was too soft on them, it wouldn't become tempering, and if he was too hard on them, there was a chance that they would die or result in a mishap. Despite all his thoughts to strengthen them, he didn't want to lose them in the name of tempering, and that would be too stupid, beyond redemption.

From that moment, he felt that he had to be soft on Evelynn, and even Natalya.

Nevertheless, with Princess Isabella's encouragement and thoughts that were similar to him, he once again found the resolve to temper them into experts. Furthermore, since he possessed the life-like energy that seems to have positive effects on one's soul and body, he felt relieved than before.

"Alright, Natalya... Your age is probably already found out by those sneaky intelligence organizations, so walk through the copper-colored formation to verify your age." Davis advised.

Natalya awkwardly chuckled. Her grandfather Agis Stirlander often had the habit of boasting that he had revealed her and her little sister Fiora's cultivation and age in the past many times.

To intelligence organizations, this kind of information could be easily obtained. So if she went through the other three formations, the age of the others would be suspected, plus, the higher the age, the better cultivation base her opponent would have, leading to her loss!

So even if Davis hadn't mentioned it, she would've gone through the copper-colored Profound Age Formation.

Davis removed his sound barrier, and Natalya descended towards the Profound Age Formation, gathering the spotlight to herself. She felt a bit uncomfortable at being gazed by countless people since she never had this much attention to herself.

However, her difficult experience in the past made up for the lack of thick skin, and when she recalled the words uttered by Princess Isabella, her determination became renewed before she no longer felt uncomfortable.

She entered the Profound Age Formation before exiting, only to see a reddish-brown glow around the formation.

Elder Enye's lips curved with a look of confidence before she called out, "Tanya Frostblight!"

A figure from the Falling Snow Sect's ark rushed out of the deck and flew towards the battle platform before making a turn towards the Profound Age Formation. Unlike Baize, there were no undulations, and her flight was calm, steady, and gave almost no undulations.

A reddish-brown glow lit up the formation, and the next second, the figure was already on top of the martial platform, directly a kilometer opposite to Natalya.

The figure bowed to the chest level, "Tanya Frostblight of the Frostblight Family, a top disciple of the Falling Snow Sect, is ready to exchange pointers!"

Natalya became taken aback, her lips twitching, 'What's a top disciple? Is that better than core disciple? The way she said it with confidence sure sounds like it...'

Her eyes registered a woman with ample proportions and a beautiful oval face, somewhat similar to her own, but her sparkling slanted eyes, a small jade nose, and crimson lips made her look incredibly desiring, and sexy.

She didn't involve herself with that 'top disciple title' and just clasped her hand back, "I, Natalya Loret, would also like to exchange pointers with you."

Davis, who was hovering in the air, possessed a difficult expression on his face. He didn't know that a top disciple is either, but judging from the name, he guessed that it should be safe to consider Tanya Frostblight is better than any disciple in the Falling Snow Sect from the confidence in Elder Enye's tone.

He was about to send a soul transmission to Natalya, and tell her to give up, but he hesitated.

"The people you want to protect should also be able to protect themselves..."

Davis became startled as he turned to look at Princess Isabella.

"Or are you going to keep protecting them forever?"

Hearing her soul transmission, Davis solemnly nodded his head, "Forever..."

"I love them for who they are to me, not their strength. I tend to reciprocate almost everything. Whether if it is hate or love, I'll give it back multiple times until I feel satisfied."

Hearing his speech, Princess Isabella became speechless. She thought she could change his mindset to let them become an expert, but here she was suddenly embarrassed by her own mindset.

Was she ruthless enough to send her own sisters to battle? Didn't she put much thought into it?

She didn't know his reasons, but she suddenly felt that her own thoughts on Evelynn and Natalya were lacking.

Abruptly, she felt as if she made a mistake.

"Sorry..." Only a single word echoed in Davis's mind.

It was Princess Isabella's voice.

Davis shook his head, "I'm not blaming you. I know that my selfishness to keep them under me will have its consequences, but it's just that I can't suffice you all getting hurt. It's exceedingly painful to even think about it."

At that time, Evelynn had her arm cut off; he felt innumerable pins and needles stabbing in his heart. He didn't want to feel like that ever again.

Guilt for letting that happen was one of the worries, but he pushed most of the blame to Princess Shirley in his mind knowing that she was just as innocent as Evelynn.

Although he corrected his misunderstanding in the end, wasn't Princess Shirley out of his reach now?

Why had he blamed Princess Shirley first? Because he was unable to protect Evelynn and simply needed a reason to justify himself. In the end, that became a curse for him that always echoed that he had to keep them under protection at all times so that he himself doesn't get hurt.

It was a shackle that he subconsciously created for himself. He wasn't the perfect man that he read in stories, and he knew all too well that he could not become one. All he felt that he had to do was to keep the people and the things he liked with him in one piece!
