Divine Emperor of Death

"I... I really won't lie."

Davis nodded his head, "I can wait till marriage, but I am sure that it would take way longer as I have still yet to marry two of my women at the very least. I'm not really opposed to a conservative approach to having intimate relationsh.i.p.s after marriage, but are you two sure that Niera won't be worried during this time of no intimacy? How can I love her without intimacy? Do you expect me to write her letters, talk from a distance and make her wait while she worries that I do not love her anymore?"

"No, no... I didn't say that..." Keira Alstreim shook her head, looking panicked.

"Just do as you two wish..."

At this moment, Nero Alstreim raised his hand and waved, heaving a sigh in defeat.

Keira Alstreim looked at her husband with shock, but she didn't say anything anymore, considering the web of intricacies in a relationship.

"Davis, I think I'll wait till marriage... I really don't want to disappoint my father and mother. I was already a bad girl acting as I pleased, but not anymore..."

Niera looked as if she was going to cry as her body trembled at this moment. She tightly held his hand, gazing at him with her purple eyes that shone like a gem under the moistness.

"Niera, what are you saying? You have already proved yourself to me. You don't have to feel bad about this decision. I absolutely understand your plight and would even recommend you to do the same. I support you..."

"Wahh!~ Why are you so good to me!?~ You're the only one for me, Davis~ Waahhh~~~"

His voice completely melted Niera's heart that she pounced and embraced him as she cried out her heart like a little girl.

Nero Alstreim and Keira Alstreim became flabbergasted, not really expecting their son-in-law to be this understanding. However, looking at them be intimate at this moment, they couldn't help but smile as they nodded their heads in approval.

Meanwhile...

'Yes! Thank you very much, father-in-law! Mother-in-law! I really can't be intimate with other women anymore other than kissing as I have promised Isabella and the others not to sleep with them...'

Inwardly, Davis was extremely relieved that he didn't have to convince Niera about this matter. It would just end up making him feel more guilty instead. It was an unexpected surprise for the matter that was weighing on his mind to resolve itself.

He wanted to not disappoint Isabella and Niera wanted to not disappoint her parents. It was a win-win situation the both of them with the way he saw it. For the same reason, he hadn't approached Sophie either, letting her take her time to break through into the Law Dominion Stage.

At this moment, he knew that she was probably trying to form a Superior Domain, or perhaps even a Perfect Domain with Starcy's help in comprehension of Fire Laws even though the chances might be less unless she took more time to comprehend. She was really working hard to improve herself, maybe with the main intent of not wanting to disappoint him, and that just made his love for her more endearing instead of being exhausted.

All things said, he was a jerk by being manipulative, but the last time he checked before reincarnating, women loved jerks, not nice guys. Or perhaps, they liked a combination of both at certain times, just like their ever-changing moods.

Maybe, it was up to the man to discern whether she likes him a jerk or a nice guy at a particular moment! When Davis thought of it like this, it was just like yin and yang, balancing things out to have a good relationship. Reward their good behavior and be angry when they make a mistake, like when Isabella challenged him sometimes, although she was just testing him as he did.

Fortunately, they never stepped out of their line, not seeing his wrathful side, nor did he want to show them that as he had never needed to unless it was his enemies that he was facing. Unluckily, all the enemies that had seen his wrathful side were already dead.

At this moment, a sudden whisper entered his ears, making him feel ticklish as well as his heart pound with d.e.s.i.r.e.

"But... if... if it's just a... kiss... You can approach me anytime..."

Niera low-key whispered, having her voice sound silent like a mosquito instead of using soul transmission.

Davis couldn't help but gulp, not become of the enticement but because of a woman's instincts to attract a man. Even though she was innocent, she damn knew how to seduce a man instinctively! Feeling her intent through Heart Intent, she wanted nothing more than to love him and be loved.

He separated from her and saw her red-faced, looking at him with embarrassment before he nodded his head. He reached out his hand and wiped her tears, causing her to feel a strong attraction towards him as they looked at each other's eyes.

Even he could not help but fall in love more than before with her at times like these. She was just too adorable while her innocence was not faked!

*Cough!~*

The sudden annoyed voice of a man echoed, causing them to turn their heads.

It was none other than Ezekiel Alstreim who had returned while having a sullen look on his face.

"I've finished convincing the people here, so let's be on our way."

Indeed, all Ezekiel Alstreim said was that he was going to the other side. Everyone's expression changed as excitement filled their faces, but he dropped them with the bomb that until Alstreim Family is absolutely safe, it is riskier for them to come out. Many instantly realized the consequences, but still, they were reluctant until they finally heard him speak and swear that he would come for them in a few decades.

If he doesn't, he told them to think that he had died while protecting the Alstreim Family, causing many of them to have mixed feelings.

They had now come to see him and his family leave as they floated above the town's border.

Davis saw more than three hundred people gather. He could see their intense emotions of wanting to get out just by seeing their eyes alone. They were desperate, but for his own protection and his family's, he would rather not take them out.

'Maybe after I become a Soul Emperor...'

He inwardly nodded, feeling like he would practically be the ruler of this Fifty-Two Territories at that point, and as far as he could see, it would be around a decade or so before he could enter that stage if he concentrated on comprehending the mysteries while boosting his prowess.

Moreover, to get them out, Ezekiel Alstreim had basically put a bind on himself to not hurt Davis because the only way he could get them out as he swore is through him unless he is willing to come back here again through a spatial crack, perhaps with his wife Elise to start a new life along with these people in this desolate world.

However, would a person be that crazy? Never!

Nevertheless, this place was a secret location and had an underground lava cave that could help Alstreim Family produce Ninth Stage Powerhouses with the right conditions and resources from the outside world.

Even Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and many other Grand Elders at the very peak possessed way better chances here to become a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse. The environment inside the underground cave absolutely allowed fire-attributed cultivators to gain immense benefits in terms of gathering energy, comprehending laws, and having a breakthrough!

This place would eventually be visited without a doubt, but he definitely was not willing to become a transporter for this... He didn't sign up for that job!

"Let's go..."

Davis sounded out as he turned around and left. However, he still held hands with Niera, pulling her all the way to the southern part of the sealed space while her family followed, not saying a word about them.

Niera felt like she was in a dream.

She was finally going to head out of the space she was born in, see her never-before-seen elder sister and see the true world. She was both scared and excited, but most importantly, her eyes stared at his side face, feeling otherworldly that it was the person she loved who was taking her out.

She was totally smitten with this reality, the fantasy she had ever since dreamed of her man she was going to marry as a little girl. It was near to fulfillment.

The unrelated people also followed, but Davis didn't say anything to it.

"I'll warn that none should stray away from my side. Niera, hold onto my hand tighter, okay?"

Davis didn't forget to be romantic even in this situation, and the already smitten Niera nodded her head as if she would follow every word he said. Nadia and Eldia were on both his sides, guarding him while Keira Alstreim held Nero Alstreim's hand, sticking closer.

However, Ezekiel Alstreim stuck out like a sore thumb without a partner.

He couldn't help but inwardly weep.

'Just you all wait! I'll be the happiest man after I reunite with my Elise...'

It was unknown who he was pointing at, as it may be all of them.

*Bzzz!~*

Davis released the aura of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin at this moment, causing numerous eyes to widen at this majestic aura. With Niera in hand, he took a step forward and entered the Lightning Sea, which had impeded all people from exiting or entering.

However, looking at the ever-present lightning recede from Davis as if they were scared of him, all of their jaws simultaneously dropped!
