Divine Emperor of Death

Davis and Evelynn returned to their room once Emperor Ashton left.

Their meeting was not made known to the others and his parents were not privy to it since they were cultivating in peace.

Unless the maid and the others who came in contact with the black-robed person, purposefully informed the emperor and empress of this event, it will remain unknown.

Davis felt it wasnʼt wise to reveal this matter without a reason.

A princess of an Empire missing is enough to cause the Empire to fall into chaos. Although it would not affect the Loret Empire, it would incite the Ashton Empire.

For the same reason, Emperor Louis Ashton approached him in incognito. There were mostly two reasons for his passiveness.

One was his current strength, the other was probably his mysterious master. Emperor Louis Ashton understands well that he couldnʼt hope to defeat Davis even in the case if the latter had really kept Shirley in a dungeon, abusing her.

From this, Davis garnered that Emperor Ashton likely came to display his anger and relay a word of caution while trying to exhort him to treat Princess Shirley well.

Davis sighed when he thought about all this mess. Princess Shirleyʼs reputation was only second to him and Clara among all the young geniuses of the Grand Sea Continent.

Even though he was innocent, he would probably be the first one to suspected out of all the people in the case of Shirleyʼs disappearance and although it was unfair, this would still occur if the information of the princess missing circulated through the entire continent.

Numerous echoes would question him but wouldnʼt do anything excessive other than branding a wrong impression on him.

The next day, his image in the citizens and the people of the Grand Sea Continent would be utterly tarnished.

The Little Paragon who was once hailed as a decent, upright, and ethical individual would likely be reduced to a royal who secretly enjoys abusing women, especially princesses.

Likely, Emperor Ashton knew this point. The secrecy that should be maintained can be seen from Emperor Ashtonʼs silent visit.

Otherwise, the other party wouldʼve arrived with a royal entourage, accusing him of kidnapping the princess while demanding him to give her back.

Davis secretly nodded his head as he could see this happening. However, he wasnʼt bothered and thatʼs why he didnʼt place a restriction on his personal maid and the others who witnessed the black-robed man.

”If sheʼs missing, why are they suspecting you? There are also other princes who are courting her! This is baseless and not fair.” Evelynn grumbled as she had an aggrieved look on her face.

Davis turned to look at her, blinking his eyes while asking if she didnʼt really understand.

The matter about other princes courting her could be simply brushed off because Princess Shirley was stronger than each one of them

Evelynn nodded her head in response to Davis.

He sighed and explained, ”Evelynn, letʼs say that weʼre not married.”

Evelynn didnʼt interrupt, nor did she misunderstand his first sentence, understanding that he was explaining using an ʼifʼ situation.

”In the beginning, we were once engaged to each other but voided our marriage mutually due to some reason.”

”However, you changed your mind while being suddenly obsessed with me for reasons I can partially understand but it isnʼt my fault.”

Evelynn could understand what he meant since she knew the story behind Davis and Shirley.

”However, after the day of my marriage with another woman, you suddenly went missing.”

Davis suddenly clicked his tongue.

*Tsk!~*

”One would think that you went to demand justice but didnʼt get it, prompting you to commit suicide or one would think that I killed you or captured you for certain reasons.”

”But... The letter clearly states that sheʼs headed towards a danger zone....” Evelynn retorted, unable to maintain silence.

”The letter could be interpreted in many ways, not just one.” Davis sighed.

ʼThis wouldnʼt really be a problem if the letter had been concise.ʼ Davis inwardly swore at Shirley.

Evelynn harrumphed, ”Sheʼs purposefully doing it, otherwise, she couldʼve just said that sheʼs going somewhere and pinpointed the location in the letter.”

Davis shook his head, ”If sheʼs purposefully doing it, her father should be strong enough to be able to kill me but Emperor Louis Ashton is not.”

”The only reason I can vaguely think of is that she wrote the letter like that to not make her father follow her to the First Layer.”

Evelynn furrowed and then raised her brows, ”How are you so sure that she went to the First Layer?”

”Iʼm not sure, Iʼm just using my thought process to follow the word ʼambitionʼ. If Shirley wants to quickly become stronger, then the First Layer is her best bet.”

”The resources here cannot be compared to the resources there. If it werenʼt for the Immortal Inheritances, the Grand Sea Continent has zero value to the major powers in the First Layer.”

Davis extended his two hands and looked at one of his palms before looking at the other.

”Even if Shirley eventually reaches the Ninth Stage in the Grand Sea Continent, she could not be compared with the Shirley who would reach the Ninth Stage in the First Layer.”

Evelynn couldnʼt help but nod her head. It is clear which path one should take to strengthen themselves.

The techniques, resources, knowledge, and cultivation in the First Layer, almost everything preceded the likes of the Grand Sea Continent.

However, the risks are equally high.

ʼSo thatʼs why Shirley didnʼt want her father to know where she went, but in the process, accidentally implicated my husband...ʼ Evelynn quickly assumed that it should be the case.

At this time, Davis unleashed his elementary Karma Laws through Fallen Heaven.

Numerous threads appeared in front of his vision, extending out from his soul sea. One of the thread extended to Evelynn while many others stretched to the void, only leaving the feeling of connection.

To interact with the Karma Threads, he would have to near them. He had tested it in prison, so he knew about this fact.

His gaze traveled to Evelynnʼs and saw their thread were bright red from both sides.

However, he saw that the thread connecting to him from her side also had a different hue on top of the red.

ʼYellow?ʼ

Davis turned confused. He had never seen this color appearing on the Karma Thread after their marriage.

At the time he revealed his secrets to Evelynn, he was plagued by varying emotions which made him not use that chance to garner her underlying emotions through the Karma Thread.

As for the yellow stain in their bright red thread, he could vaguely guess what this meant.

So far, he knew more about 4 colors out the various colors which he saw in the Karma Threads, connecting him to various people.

Since his knowledge of Karma Laws was severely lacking, and he had no detailed books on it, he could only form some speculation from his tests.

The red thread signified love, mostly love, however since he didnʼt see his parents have this kind of thread, he could conclude that this love the red thread indicated was mostly sexual.

The red thread he had seen connecting to him from others just didnʼt stop at Evelynn or Mo Mingzhi. Almost all the castle maids had some red tainted within their threads.

In other words, with just a word from him, there was a chance that they would all warm his bed.

Leaving that matter aside, if red color signified sexual kind of love, then what color did his parents have?
