Divine Emperor of Death

The Starnova Emperor was no different from the other powerhouses as he finally learned why he had been rejected.

It was because Sect Master Lea Weiss possessed feelings towards the Emperor of Death! That kiss and embrace were more than enough proof! Otherwise, Sect Master Lea Weiss would've burned the Emperor of Death alive for touching her before marriage because almost everyone who tried to court her was aware that she was such a woman!

However, knowing that he had avoided a calamity, he also couldn't help but feel relaxed. Perhaps, their relationship ran deep.

In the air, Davis gently embraced Lea Weiss. He wanted to bathe in her love for him using Heart Intent to fully grasp her wondrous and shy feelings, but at this moment, the number of negative emotions that were directed towards him almost made him shiver. The sheer envy he felt right now was like a monster behind his back, ready to swallow him.

'Have I become public enemy number one again? Looks like Bylai's statement towards my character became useless…'

Davis could only wryly smile as he lovingly held Lea Weiss.

In truth, he had planned to make this confession today under the moonlit night in a romantic manner, but Bylai Zlatan's actions had almost thrown it under the rug. However, he still stuck to the essence of his plan. After all, he mused that the competition might witness collapse the next day because he probably might not be able to hold back against Myria, but what he had done now was nothing more than throw a slap to Bylai Zlatan's face, making her a laughingstock, but with this, he finally had the heart to forgive her family for trying to hurt his family, his Isabella.

Only then could he even talk to her in an unbiased tone as her situation was unlike Zestria's, whom he had taken advantage of and then developed his feelings for her, able to forgive her Domitian Family's wrongdoings, which wasn't anything big, unlike the Zlatan Family's wrongdoings.

'In any case, Bylai Zlatan already made a laughingstock of herself. She wouldn't mind a little more, right?'

Davis felt shameless and scummy, but that was the fate of a man who wanted a harem. He had no choice but to possess a thick skin now.

But contrary to his thoughts, little cared about Bylai Zlatan at this moment. The people still felt envious of him, Bylai Zlatan and Lea Weiss.

The men felt like they should destroy this handsome scourge and the women wondered why they weren't Bylai Zlatan and Lea Weiss to be looked at with those gentle eyes of his. At least, Bylai Zlatan had the chance to confess publicly. Meanwhile, if they did that, it was sure that their life would be ruined on the spot as the men who were on their level would no longer take them seriously after that.

They were envious that they were not strong enough or beautiful enough to attract the Emperor of Death, having him publicly propose to them like that.

It was a dream come true for most women.

"Congratulations. Emperor of Death. Sect Master Lea Weiss."

At this moment, even the Heaven Mandate Emperor, the leader of the righteous path, acknowledged the two of them.

Davis turned around and nodded at the Heaven Mandate Emperor before he grasped Lea's soft hand and took her back to the Burning Phoenix Ridge's seating area, looking at Ancestor Cornelia. At the same time, a veil of flames raised, blocking the sight to their seating area.

"…"

Even after some time, the people remained dumbfounded, looking at the innumerable fireworks blasting in the skies.

This night, the thoughts of the people were thrown into disarray, and even the usual festivities had dropped a notch, afraid that their actions might be taken as disrespect.

Could they be more brazen than the Burning Phoenix Ridge right now that made lovely fireworks in the skies to celebrate their glorious occasion?

=========

In a particular resting room, a crimson robed woman and a golden robed woman sat side by side, the former holding the latter's hand as though consoling her, unaware of the tremor that occurred outside.

"To have fallen for our enslaver like this, our ancestors, even our predecessors must be laughing at us from the heavens if they still haven't entered the reincarnation cycle. Even our mothers and grandmothers would be disappointed."

Bylai Zlatan wryly smiled. It looked like she had shed many tears after coming here, spending a lot of time to regain her smile.

"Never. We fell in love with the most exceptional man of the era. Moreover, he has dragon blood purer than any of us. In fact, I presume that our ancestors are cursing our greedy and backstabbing elders for not knowing how to behave towards a pure-blooded dragon emperor."

As Zestria spoke, her crimson eyes gleamed with a bit of passionate light.

However, instead of becoming flabbergasted, Bylai Zlatan looked envious of Zestria's mindset. If only she could also be as fanatical as her, able to forget ties with her family. Her hatred had ended when the three Grand Elders of the Zlatan Family who sent her to be a sacrifice died or were completely crippled. The decline of her Zlatan Family wasn't what she wished, and despite that, her heart had been enamored by Davis's kind actions, causing her to be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

"I'm jealous of you."

Without even knowing, these words came out of her mouth, causing her mouth to go agape as she hurriedly closed it with her palms.

She didn't mean to say that out loud, becoming embarrassed and feeling ashamed.

However, Zestria smilingly shook her head, still holding Bylai Zlatan's hands.

"I'M jealous of you."

"…"

Bylai Zlatan became stunned before she became slightly angered. Was Zestria mocking her?

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"After all, back then, I never imagined that I would be loved, much less accepted. If I have someone to thank, then I have Shirley but also you, who didn't let me take a foolish decision of eating that sachet of poison. And now, you went as far as to publicly confess and exonerate him of his bad reputation with your statements. If that didn't move his heart, then I wouldn't know what would. I'm jealous that I'm not the one who did that."

Zestria appeared rueful while Bylai Zlatan's mouth went agape.

"You're jealous that you didn't make a fool out of yourself? I'm sure my already battered reputation has taken a deep dive down the gutters. Perhaps, I'm titled the Crazy Dragon Queen by now."

"…"

She shook her head, but on the other hand, Zestria blinked.

Didn't she also make a fool out of herself on that day when Quara, the Young Princess of the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk, came to exchange her for resources? She literally held on to Davis's legs and begged him not to trade her, for she would experience a fate more cruel than death or enslavement. Such humiliation, she could never forget, but she had only herself to blame for her actions, the same as Bylai Zlatan. However, considering that Bylai Zlatan experienced this in front of millions of people, she couldn't help but stay silent.

The shame they experienced couldn't be spoken at the same length.

"But now…" Bylai Zlatan continued, "I feel rejuvenated since I said all that I had locked up in my heart. Now, it's time to wait for punishment or something hopeful."

"Don't worry." Zestria uttered with a solemn voice, "I will support you as much as I can. I will never abandon you."

Bylai Zlatan looked straight into Zestria's eyes.

"Zestria, we were rivals, not allies nor sisters. Is it fine for me to trust you?"

Zestria unexpectedly smirked, but it was a wry smile.

"I know the pain of betrayal. It still stings deep, and there isn't a day I think why… However, what has happened has happened, and I won't look back. My loyalty lies towards him, and yours should be the same. As long as you're of the same mind, I will never forsake you."

Bylai Zlatan also wryly smiled.

"You… you're completely acting like one of his wives."

"I am."

Zestria nodded seriously while Bylai Zlatan could only shake her head ruefully.

"I thought as much. The Emperor of Death is indulging in his women. I see that rumor stands true for you to become this crazy, and maybe that's why I did something crazy, wanting to be seen."

Her wry expression contained a hint of yearning to it.

*Bang!~*

Their room's door was pushed open with force even though it was unlocked, startling the two ladies, but Bylai Zlatan's figure began to tremble ever so slightly as she felt immensely pressured.

"My kindness had its patience, but now you've just gone and done it, Bylai Zlatan."

Today, she knew that her fate might change for better or worse as she heard Davis's voice.
