Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1331 - Information About Ellia?

It took only two seconds before Shirley shook her head.

”I donʼt know... all the majestic Fire Phoenix Immortal meant was for me to not lose my innocence, or I would become ineligible for the inheritance. Maybe the inheritance is different from a dragonʼs... I donʼt think the Fire Phoenix Immortal meant anything different, as I already confirmed that the Ice Phoenix Immortal said the same thing to your little sister Clara.”

”Oh, it was also said to Clara...?”

Davis recalled that Clara hadnʼt said anything like that to him but then realized that this isnʼt something a maiden would easily share. It made sense to him, considering that Clara was already an introvert who does not speak about personal matters most of the time. Besides, there was no need for her to share this information as her marriageʼs topic hadnʼt been brought out yet.

Maybe, she mightʼve already said this to their mother and father, but who knew?

Shirley nodded her head to his doubt, ”Iʼm sure of that. I became rather good friends with your little sister after the trial. Sheʼs cute...”

Davis became taken aback, ”You found her cute...?”

Was his little sister that easy to socialize with...?

”Of course!” Shirley appeared amused, ”Every time I mention you longingly and compliment, her face slightly blushes as if it was her who is being praised. She adores you and looks up to you very much! I find it extremely cute!”

Shirley held her waist and shook her body as if embracing Clara.

Davis felt heartened, but at the same time, he wryly sighed.

He had taken so many women as his when he had taught her things like stick to one man in your life if you were ever going to marry the same way as he would like to stick to one woman. Since it was rather hypocritical of him to act oppositely, Clara would likely spit at him after learning about this, no?

Perhaps, she might even become distant.

When he thought about it, he couldnʼt help but feel sad.

”Whatʼs wrong...?”

Shirley noticed his wry expression.

”Nothing...” Davis shook his head as he came out of his reverie, looking at Shirleyʼs beautiful red pupils.

They were like ruby gems adorning her face, making her look gorgeous and alluring, along with her long red hair that reached her waist like a lavafall. He felt a bit regretful for not taking this beauty as his wife in the past, but that would mean Evelynn wouldʼve become his second wife, so he erased that thought as soon as it came.

ʼStop staring at me...ʼ

Shirleyʼs pale face became a bit red as she thought in a shy manner. She looked away, unable to receive his admiring gaze, and saw Esvele staring at them. She became even more conscious that she narrowed her eyes.

”Esvele, go play with Freya.”

Esveleʼs expression became pale as she shook her head. That perverted female bird would defile her big bosoms while playing, making her feel strange, and ever since Freya became a King Beast Stage Magical Beast, she was unable to fight back.

”Donʼt worry. Freya wonʼt tease-”

”Esvele, you have my thanks for taking care of my Shirley.” Davis interjected as he clasped his hands, ”Iʼll hope youʼll continue to take care of her while I could possibly be away sometime later.”

”Ah, no. It is what I should do...!” Esvele stood up from the sofa, clasping her hand in greeting.

Davis blinked as he imagined that this Esvele might really think of Shirley as her Mistress if she thinks that itʼs her responsibility.

”Why? Arenʼt you just another disciple?” He felt rather suspicious of her intent.

Esveleʼs black eyes shook before she lowered her head in shame, ”Thatʼs because even though I betrayed senior sister Shirley once, she still forgave me and gave me a second chance. I want to reciprocate and prove my loyalty towards senior sister.”

”Betrayed...?” Davisʼs brows instantly frowned.

The word he disliked the most was ʼbetrayalʼ.

”Even if it was a betrayal, she didnʼt do much at the end other than mop the floor like a woman who didnʼt know what to do. Davis, Esvele was merely sweet-talked by Schneider, who had probably garnered her weakness, her state of poverty, and invoked her greed. Nevertheless, I still knew and kept a close watch on her, and she didnʼt do anything, so I let her go. Then Schneider made a move against her, so I helped her. Heʼs already dead while I saved Esvele. Thatʼs the end of the matter.”

Shirley forcefully spoke while she looked at Esvele as if asking if she wanted to die?

Why go on about spewing the past that had closure in front of her man? Would he really leave a person who had betrayed once by his womanʼs side?

She thought it was unlikely!

”Oh...” Davisʼs frown receded, replaced with an understanding expression, ”Well, if she didnʼt make a move, then that meant she hadnʼt really betrayed. I can see why you would give her a second chance, Shirley...”

Shirleyʼs heart that thumped in worry of Esvele calmed down, ”Yes... In the mini-realm, she even stood up for me and faced countless enemies along with me, having my back. She had fought against Schneider in my stead while I was taking on a whole bunch of his lackeys, but we both were unable to match, so I no longer held back and killed them while also saving her using my Fire Phoenix Flames.”

”Sheʼs the only innocent core disciple I found in this place ever since the recruitment. Many of them were already corrupted, so she is a gem that I picked up that got tainted a bit, but I managed to save her from drowning in the stain.”

”I see...” Davis nodded his head with a smile to Shirleyʼs analogy as he looked at Esvele, his eyes becoming oddly normal as he inwardly screamed.

ʼAlright, what the hell...! This woman, she...ʼ

He remained flabbergasted as just a second ago, he saw the Karma Thread connecting Shirley and Esvele.

The thread was all blue, demonstrating that Esvele held intense, friendly and loyal emotions towards Shirley. However, there were also tiny patches of red, indicating that she had perhaps come to deeply admire Shirley and might even be willing to sleep with Shirley one day in the future. In other words, it was possible that she was beginning to love Shirley.

Davis kept his expression from becoming awkward from this realization.

Nevertheless, with Esvele being this loyal to Shirley, he didnʼt think that she would ever think of betrayal, making him calm down.

Esvele rather looked like a kid that was being protected by her mother from being berated by her father as her height was a bit short compared to the two. When her senior sister stood up for her, she felt extremely gratified.

”Fine, you can stay...” Shirley pursed her lips, realizing that Davis wasnʼt bothered with Esveleʼs presence. They can use soul transmission to speak about any content that is related to the Grand Sea Continent anyway.

”Thank you! Senior sister!”

Esvele brightly beamed, her face glowing in attractiveness.

Davis looked at Esvele, realizing that she was indeed growing to love Shirley bit by bit. He imperceptibly shook his head as he looked at Shirley.

”Shirley, you said that you cannot share much information about Ellia. Very well. At least tell me if she kept you safe or treated you wrongly?”

Davisʼs expression became solemn that Shirley realized he misunderstood her oath to Ellia.

”I swear! Ellia treated me well and kept me safe till I reached here. I merely wanted to reciprocate and said that I would not divulge information, specifically to you!”

”Hmm?” Davis narrowed his eyes, ”Was that Ellia or her other incarnation?”

Shirley blinked as her mouth became agape, ”You knew?”

”Merely a speculation on my part...” Davis answered before he nodded his head, ”It must be Elliaʼs other incarnation who must have prohibited from divulging information about Ellia to me. Very well. If she wants to play hide and seek, Iʼll beat her at her own game and save Ellia.”

Shirley blinked further at his speech that she couldnʼt help but wryly say.

”Davis, I donʼt think Ellia needs any saving, nor do I think sheʼs hiding. She is rather overly powerful tha-”

”When I meant that I would save her, I meant I would save her from being forcefully swung around by her other incarnation. Tell me, Ellia might be powerful and safe now but is she happy?”

Shirley pursed her lips before she shook her head, ”I donʼt know...”

Davis smiled.

Since Shirley wasnʼt sure if Ellia was happy, then that meant she should mostly not be feeling pleased about her situation. Ellia was nothing but a little girl in his mind, and yet that white-haired witch took her to do nothing but cultivate in a hardcore manner.

Nevertheless...

”Shirley...” Davis narrowed his eyes, ”Do you really think that white-haired woman can beat me when my true prowess is near the Peak-Level King Soul Stage...?”

Shirleyʼs mouth went agape once again, ”!!!”

Esvele also looked stunned, her smiling face ultimately frozen like a frog stuck in a well.

The peak-level of what!?

She wasnʼt even able to follow their conversation about this person called Ellia and her other incarnation, which sounded cryptic to her, but then she heard an even more outrageous matter which left her deeply stunned.

On the other hand, Shirley came out of her reverie and understood that by nodding or shaking her head to this question, she could use the loophole to reveal Elliaʼs cultivation where he would be able to approximately find it.

Shirley both nodded her head and shook, making Davis know that she wasnʼt sure.

Davis was rather flabbergasted before he figured that it shouldnʼt be a surprise. That other incarnation was an old monster, a white-haired witch nicknamed by him for a reason. Whether she was using her knowledge, regaining her old prowess, or both, he didnʼt know but he was for sure looking forward to teaching her a lesson!

Nevertheless, Shirley truly wasnʼt sure about Elliaʼs current Soul Forging Cultivation as it was like Davisʼs rapidly growing. She was rather immensely doubtful of Davisʼs cultivation speed that she couldnʼt help but send a soul transmission.

”Davis, do you really have an immortal existence as your master?
