Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4926  First Sign From Within?

Claire stood up with a smile, ”You came so soon?”

”I was nearby, mother.” Evelynn appeared closer before she cupped her hand and bowed.

Then, she turned to look at the person in question, ”Zenova, you want to play games again with me already?”

Claire interrupted, ”Donʼt blame her. I brought you here of my own volition since I donʼt want to see any aggression in my sonʼs harem. Let me mediate, so pour out your grievances.”

Zenova quickly said, ”There are no grievances. I did something bad, and she punished me as the big sister.”

”Indeed, I have no grievances after I punished her.” Evelynnʼs purple eyes gleamed.

”You-”

Claire pointed at the two of them. With the way they looked at each other, she absolutely didnʼt believe their bullshit. The way she saw it, she could nearly see sparks flying when they looked at each other.

Yilla walked softly and appeared behind Claire, her hand brushing against hers.

”I think theyʼll be like this until husband comes to resolve this matter. Mother, please donʼt worry.”

”…” Claire could only breath out heavily.

”If thereʼs nothing else, I must leave since there are important matters to attend to. Iʼll come see you later, mother.”

Evelynn turned around and left.

”Evelynn, donʼt forget to bring my son. He never has time for me anymore!”

Evelynn smilingly turned to look back, ”I will bring him to you later, mother.”

She then left, causing Claire to breath out before she turned to look at Zenova.

”As you can see, I have no control over the harem, and like Davis, my cute Evelynn has also grown, refusing to listen to my opinion. Sigh, I still remember how scared she was in my presence. Now Iʼm the one who needs to be scared of her.”

”Itʼs fine, mother. You really donʼt have to do anything about this matter. I may use people, but gaining someoneʼs backing to throw my power around is really not my style. However, please rest assured. I have no intention to break my own family.”

”I see.” Claire nodded before she patted her, ”Then take care of yourself and donʼt be too secluded. Talk with your other sisters. Theyʼre really good girls who will take care of you and your child as long as you treat them with respect and sisterhood.”

”…” Zenova nodded lightly, ”Iʼll be mindful.”

Claire smiled satisfactorily before discussing a few more matters and finally sending them away.

”Our new daughter-in-law is unexpectedly honest. Sheʼs indeed a villainess, but I can see why Davis would want her despite the dangers she could bring.”

”…” Logan simply smiled.

Claire looked at him with narrowed eyes, ”Why didnʼt you say something as the father-in-law?”

Logan was speechless. It was not his place to say anything about his sonʼs wives as long as they didnʼt harm the family. As for Davis, he was free meat for them. Whether they beat him up or smother him with love was their matter, so why should he interfere?

He flicked his sleeves coolly, ”I am the air and the guardian of the Davis Family Alliance. I only deal with external threats.”

”…” Claire went speechless, but she sat by his side and became snug with him, drawing circles over his chest, ”Will you become an Exalt soon?”

”No, I just reached Level Nine Empyrean Stage thanks to the resources our son and daughters brought home, but there are still many years before I become an Alpha Exalt. I think I should aim for Omega Exalt despite the incredible difficulty so as not let my son down. That is the kind of strength I need to be able to protect and watch over their growth without needing to worry too much.”

”Mmm… you always work hard. Nora cultivates fast, too. I must catch up to her.”

”You should.” Logan caressed Claireʼs head with a soft and fond expression.

As they indulged in secluded cultivation to absorb the resources, the time they were together also dropped a lot. It had become rare to meet like this. However, when Claire and Nora werenʼt there, it allowed him to spend more time with his other wives, like Violet and Minerva.

Still, he was deeply fond of Claire, so he always made time for her whenever he could.

Outside, Zenova, Yilla, and Schleya were walking in the corridor.

Yilla suddenly sneered, ”Smart of you to immediately introduce yourself to mother and get in her good graces.”

”Think what you will.” Zenovaʼs lips curled, ”I really donʼt need the help of others to discipline you as I did back then if you were to bully me.”

”Hehe~ You are never the one to give away resources for free. Besides, jokes on you.” Yilla giggled, ”Thanks to you kidnapping Davis, I was able to get into his heart faster than the others who joined with me at that time. You really are the best wing girl I ever had, so donʼt worry, I wonʼt stand against you.”

Zenova had no idea what a wing girl was, but for some reason, she understood, making her pause as she inwardly fumed.

Thinking back, she wondered if Yilla wasnʼt there, their relationship mightʼve developed sooner. Then again, she had no intention to get with Davis back then, so she was in fact grateful that Yilla was protecting him from her.

She let go of her slight and continued to move.

They appeared on a balcony and looked outside. Their gazes caught sight of Davis and nearly as many as twenty children walking with him as they came out of the woods to head into another mansion.

She sensed many figures a distance away watching them, but didnʼt it wasnʼt strange since Davis was indeed their star.

”Who is she?” She pointed at someone.

Yilla followed her gaze and saw who it was, ”Thatʼs Yulai Nuxaren, Mingzhiʼs adoptive daughter and her son Tianyuʼs fiancée. They will get married in a year or two.”

”I see.”

Zenova brought her lithe hand back and continued to survey the surroundings. This family was indeed peaceful and close.

ʼAmazing… she managed to pinpoint that Yulai was an outsider just from her aura? What a terrifying perception…ʼ

Yilla gazed at Zenova with admiration.

Schleya was also surprised. It was a feat that only those who have been with the Davis Family for a long time and practiced Blood Laws would be able to tell. Did Zenova know how to use Blood Laws?

Sensing their gazes, Zenova smiled fondly as she stroked her stomach.

”I can sense it. This child already knows who his siblings are.”

”…”

Yilla and Schleya were dumbfounded.

The latter raised her brows, ”Your child might have a blood-attributed physique and is already indulging you in reverse inheritance.”

”Maybe.” Zenova only smiled, her expression proud.

”But how do you know your baby is a son?” Yilla asked doubtful.

As far as she knew, it had only been two or three days since Zenova got pregnant! Even if the signs of a physique appeared early, oneʼs gender wouldnʼt be known.

”I hope my first child is a son.” Zenova smirked, ”Itʼs one of my dreams, and I hope it can be fulfilled like I have attained the love of my life.”

Yilla and Schleya thought before nodding, agreeing with her.

Nonetheless, they looked at Davis and the children, continuing to introduce them to her from afar. Even Davis spotted them and waved his hand, collectively causing them to squeal in their hearts. Yilla and Schleya instantly returned the gesture. Looking back at their reactions, even Zenova got embarrassed as she also nearly returned the gesture, berating herself to behave with grace.

However, the children soon lost their vision, heading towards the newly renovated huge Imperial Garden that needed to accommodate the new resources that had been brought in a few years ago.

Yilla and Schleya exchanged glances worriedly.

They then chose to take Zenova in another direction since they didnʼt want her to interrupt.
