Divine Emperor of Death

While the prideful women were inside, Davis was outside with the others.

Davis was feeling like he missed out on knowing what kind of might Myria was capable of in the Eighth Stage Segment, so he asked his women.

"How did Myria win? Did you all watch the battles that took place in the morning?"

"The whole battle arena was practically in an uproar since early morning once she defeated all four of her opponents at the same time."

Fiora, who monopolized Davis's right arm with her status as the fifth wife, stated. Her eyes were also filled with a kind of craving as she spoke. Clearly, she saw Myria's battle and wanted to be like her someday.

Davis nodded.

"I know she will win, but how? Did she display any skills?"

"No," Mingzhi shook her head before smiling, "She originally looked for you with bright eyes but seeing you were not there, her gaze became one of indifference before she flicked her fingers four times, eliminating her opponents with pure brute force as the air blasted them to the barrier, making them cough a mouthful of blood. Nobody was able to see her Body Tempering Cultivation as she had not used her martial energy, but everyone thought that she had a prowess equivalent to High-Level Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouse or more. Otherwise, she couldn't just purely suppress them with her bodily might alone. Everyone later felt that she cheated, but she revealed her cultivation, and everyone saw that it was only at Peak-Level Martial Sage Stage, causing an uproar again."

Davis blinked, not to her prowess but her reaction towards his presence. So it was Ellia who was battling in this competition, not bothering to show her skills once she learned that he wasn't present. He couldn't help but feel amused before he spoke.

"I see. So she condensed a Supreme Domain or a Perfect Domain with her Martial Sage Stage Cultivation. However, I don't understand. She has the ice phoenix blood, which shouldn't be overly helpful to her Body Tempering Cultivation, so how could it be possible that she managed to reach this level so quick?"

"Maybe she got lucky and found a heavenly resource, just like how you found the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar." Natalya couldn't help but giggle as she interjected.

"Right. To be able to keep up with us bodily might inheritors, her luck isn't bad."

Davis smiled. In his mind, whatever Myria found, it was going to help Ellia in the end.

"Haha, what's more, marriage alliance requests are pouring to the Mystic Ice Sect, asking Mu Bing's hand in marriage, some even designated to Myria. Originally, this would happen in the night after the battle's end, but it seems like the powers no longer have any composure. Those shameless men clearly know that the Mystic Ice Sect disciples value their purity more than anything else and wouldn't easily give up their sect status even if the man was stronger than them, but they're afraid that you'll snatch Myria away just like you snatched Lea Weiss."

Mingzhi spoke in an amused tone, her giggle echoing in a melodious tone.

"It's as if they're clamoring to get her before you could. Like…" She suddenly cleared her throat and looked at Davis with a pleading gaze.

"Your eminence. Can you do us a favor and leave some women for the rest of us?"

"Pfft-"

Davis almost burst out laughing while Natalya and the others also suppressed their peals of laughter as they hid their mouths. They couldn't hold their laughter anymore over Mingzhi's antics.

"It's only normal." Natalya shook her head, "Husband and Myria clashed with words when he first arrived here. It could be mused that they already have some kind of unpleasant history, so they're merely trying their chances."

At this moment, Davis sensed a person approaching them. When he turned to look, he saw it was other than Ancestor Tirea Snow.

She cast a good look at Tanya Frostblight, who lowered her head in shyness and also a bit of shame since she had already done the deed before marriage. Only then did Ancestor Tirea Snow turn to look at him, her gaze clear.

"Since Tanya's been with you for some time, as her master, I will congratulate you two. Davis, I know that you will treat her well, but I will personally ask of you to take good care of her."

"Naturally, I will."

Davis smiled as he heavily nodded, assuring Ancestor Tirea Snow.

"Excellent. I wish you two nothing but happiness."

"Yes! Thank you so much, master!" Tanya appeared beside Ancestor Tirea Snow and shook her hand, appearing glad to have received her Ancestor's approval.

The others in the Alstreim Family's seating area who saw this scene were shocked. Even some Falling Snow Sect's disciples who had come to witness the glorious battles of the young geniuses were astonished. Their strongest top disciple has fallen for the Emperor of Death. They didn't find this surprising, but to have actually obtained his favor, they were shocked and a bit envious.

Even the unmarried Sect Master of the Falling Snow Sect felt a complex feeling in her heart.

When did this happen? They merely thought that Tanya was hanging around with her friend Natalya, but to think that she had actually become Davis's woman and even received their Ancestor's approval…

Davis then had the chance to find out that Ancestor Tirea Snow had become pregnant. He became shocked before he congratulated her. However, this information was exchanged through soul transmission, so only he knew that they were planning to announce it later.

Nonetheless, they spoke a few more words about Tanya's quirks and how she became a bit lively again upon being together with him, causing her to become all shy again, hiding behind Natalya as she complained that they bullied her.

Davis felt that he must give a huge gift to Ancestor Tirea Snow. After all, being with him meant Tanya would be leaving the Falling Snow Sect. That would be a huge blow to their sect as they would be losing a talented expert.

He had also compensated the Thousand Pill Palace behind the scenes, giving a few Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources to Ancestor Krane Parazen so that they wouldn't bother about Dalila Leehan anymore. It's not like they could do anything, but he'd rather not have Dalila's feelings hurt as she had grown up in that sect.

Furthermore, he would also like to collect the Thousand Pill Palace's alchemy knowledge, so it was better if they maintained a good relationship, although he was assured that the other party would be trying to curry favor with him as they accepted his gift and promised to maintain an amicable relationship.

With the deal they made with the Glorious Pill Palace becoming ambiguous, they had no choice but to rely on him as well.

A bit of time passed.

Davis, Natalya, Fiora, Sophie, Niera, Tina, Dalila, and Tanya chattered away their time during this interval before the second round could start. By this time, Evelynn and the others also returned while Bylai looked like she had already recovered, able to control her strength.

However, when Davis asked what they discussed, the ladies refused to spill out the details, causing him to almost roll his eyes.

It was of little doubt to him that they had come to some kind of consensus.

However, looking at Isabella and Zestria amicably talk, he inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. The former had killed the latter's father. Perhaps, it was as really as Isabella said that day; that the Dragon Queens cared little about their father because there was little to no intimacy in their family but only benefits.

Seldom, even the own father lusted after their daughter, especially when the daughter had become a Dragon Queen, enough to shake their moral grounds to boost their own cultivation. When Davis asked Bylai on the bed if she didn't care that he had killed her father, she revealed this information, saying that a minority of Dragon Queens were taken by their own fathers, and therefore, even their relationship with their fathers would be monitored and strained.

Bylai said that she truly didn't bother with her father's death as it was deserved for wrongly provoking him and lusting after Isabella.

Davis could only feel complex, wondering if Bylai and Zestria forced themselves to believe that. After all, they were still their fathers, but his Heart Intent said that they had accepted their deaths and wholeheartedly loved him.

"Everyone," Honorable Elder Julian Kruse's voice echoed at this moment, "It's time. As previously explained, the second round will consist of the same format and rules, but instead of five young geniuses, we'll have three young geniuses battle against each other. However, they will be battling in the Seven Sky Transformation Spatial Formation."

"What!? The Seven Sky Transformation Spatial Formation?"

"Have you heard about it? Quick, explain."

"I don't know, but it sounded cool…"

"…"

One person shrugged while the other looked as though she was going to kill her.. They were other than Mingzhi and Fiora goofing around.
