Divine Emperor of Death

A month and a half later.

A woman with a blonde hair sat crossed-legged as she cultivated. Flames were writhing around her body, growing in intensity as her figure distorted from the heat waves. Even though those intense flames embraced her, nothing of harm befell her.

This person was none other than Claire!

She felt herself nearing a breakthrough in comprehending Fire Laws.

The spirit stones beside were piled on the waste of ashes, indicating that they were already consumed. There were only a few spirit stones present, which was currently disintegrating as Claire was actively absorbing them.

In a few minutes, the few remaining Low-Level Fire Attributed Spirit Stones were also consumed.

A little distance away, Logan came out from the bath while only wearing a towel over his lower body. He looked at his wife and couldnʼt help smile proudly.

ʼSweet! I can feel the fluctuations... She is almost near Level Four Intent of Fire Laws...ʼ

He had dozed off in the bath after engaging in a passionate session with his good wife, but instead of relaxing with him, she came out of the bath and started to comprehend Fire Laws.

To this, he could only blame himself as he was the one who was slacking off.

Just when he was about to join her in cultivation, his expression changed as he heard a knock on the door to his house. He instantly summoned a new luxurious robe and wore it as he looked towards Claire.

Recognizing that she was slowly withdrawing her concentration from comprehending, he knew she would be consolidating her current comprehension, at least until as far as she learned.

He didnʼt disturb her and left the room before heading towards the entrance. When he stood on the ground and opened the door, he saw his son and a guest whom he absolutely didnʼt expect to visit their house.

He became taken aback before looking at his son in askance.

Davis smiled, ”Weʼve come bearing gifts...”

Loganʼs cheeks twitched, ”Didnʼt you just give us gifts a few months back?”

Davis chuckled as he entered without the house before he looked back, ”Come in...”

Princess Isabella had her face blank. She wondered why Davis was so casual with his father like they were friends but pursed her lips and nodded her head. She entered the house and stuck close beside him.

Logan blinked and watched Princess Isabella in a suspicious light. Last time, he only knew that the relationship between his son and her turned worse, but looking at it now, he could tell that his son has perhaps managed to succeed in winning over Princess Isabella.

Instantly, he felt that he should not jump to conclusions.

ʼMn, I think heʼs here with Princess Isabella to consider the future decisions and movement of the group...ʼ He mused and chatted with his son until they arrived in his room.

Claire was already awake from deep concentration. When she saw Davis, she smiled as her lips widened, but when she saw the guest appear behind them, her smile faded only to be replaced with furrowed brows.

She didnʼt have a good impression on people who hurt her son, no matter who or what reason it may be! At that time, she knew that her son was likely sad and disappointed. She had been towed away by her husband, so she wasnʼt privy to the events that happened after they left.

What Princess Isabella did to her son may well as be a personal attack against her.

Even then, she still forced a smile, ”Davis, I hope you have been taking care of your two wives...”

Davis blinked and felt rather than his mother really asking this question; it almost came off as a jab targeted towards a certain someone.

Nevertheless, he still answered, ”Of course, mother. Theyʼre diligently cultivating as we speak...”

Claire became taken aback.

ʼEvelynn and Natalya? Cultivating diligently? Those poor girls...ʼ

She couldnʼt help but ask, ”Davis, although I feel assured, are you perhaps forcing them to cultivate?”

Davis instantly shook his head, ”What do you mean? Iʼm giving as much freedom as I can!”

”Then itʼs okay... But they should have grievances more or less. As the mother-in-law, Iʼll go talk to them later because, unlike me, they actually got a mother-in-law who will care for them...” Claire grinned.

Davis became speechless as he looked at his mother praise herself.

”Hehem...”

He could only shrug and clear his throat before getting to the point.

”Mother, we came bearing gifts for you and father.”

”Hmm? For me as well?!” Logan exclaimed while Claire became taken aback.

Last time, Claire got some of these Fire-Attributed Spirit Stones, which became extremely useful to her!

”For what?” She couldnʼt help but ask.

Davis cleared his throat again before announcing with a solemn expression on his face, ”Mother, Isabella and I have settled our differences and agreed to marry each other...”

”You!” Claire had her mouth agape before she turned to look at Princess Isabella in shock.

Their differences were settled!? She couldnʼt help but feel ecstatic!

Even though Logan had the same shocked expression on his face, he felt incredibly proud of his son.

Who was Princess Isabella? A woman who had the most chance in becoming an Immortal existence other than their first son and first daughter.

In the Grand Sea Continent, perhaps only Princess Isabella was the only and perfect bride who could compare to his son. They were a match made in heaven if it werenʼt for his previous marriages.

Even he felt interior in the past!

Princess Isabella still had a blank expression on her face, but she couldnʼt keep it up for long as her cheeks became red as she felt their blindingly powerful stare.

Who were Davisʼs parents? They were people who were almost the same age as her! In the past, they were peers and equals to her!

And she, a person of their generation, had vowed to marry their son.

How could she not be embarrassed!? However, she did not feel ashamed as a difference in one generation wasnʼt something to be worried about in this world.

”Davis, youʼre almost twenty-three years old...” Claire couldnʼt help but say this worriedly.

At a young age, with three beautiful women by his side, wouldnʼt he become debauched enough to no longer worry about cultivation?

Meanwhile, both Davis and Princess Isabellaʼs expression slightly changed as they misunderstood that his age was being compared with hers. Still, Claire realized the nuance in her words and quickly corrected herself.

”I mean, I do not deny your freedom to marry Princess Isabella, nor am I stating the generation gap as a reason. However, are you sure that you will not stay in bed all day long? After all, youʼre a young man...” Claire asked as a crimson hue appeared on her face.

Even Davis became red-faced as he became speechless.

But when he really thought about her words... It didnʼt seem like a bad idea...

Staying with three beauties in his bed, lazing around all day long...

”Hahaha!”

Instantly, he came out of his reverie and looked at his father, who kept laughing heartily.

”Whatʼs your problem, father?” Davisʼs eyes twitched.

”Hahahaha! I have none! Haha!” Logan just kept laughing like an idiot.

His laughter actually made Princess Isabella drop her head as she felt incredibly embarrassed. If they further kept this up, perhaps she would even feel ashamed.

Fortunately, Logan stopped his laughter before patting Davisʼs shoulders and expressed with his appearance that he was really proud of him.

Davisʼs lips twitched. He glanced at Isabella and saw that she was finding it difficult to even stand as she trembled.

What can he say? Although it was fun, his parents were too insensitive to her feelings.

Davis sighed and shook his head, ”And here she was trying to present her father-in-law and mother-in-law with gifts as a sign of good faith...”

Claire and Logan became taken aback. After all, they thought that their son was the one giving them gifts such as spirit food, souvenirs, and what not since Evelynn visited them sometimes with cooked food.

To think it was Princess Isabella who was going to give them gifts this time around...

ʼCome to think of it...ʼ Logan mused.

Davis did indeed say ʼweʼ when he said that he was going to give them gifts, but since he rather took care of them nicely all the time like a filial son, Logan forgot to include her existence.

Besides, he rather thought that Davis was just giving an excuse to bring Princess Isabella here.
