Divine Emperor of Death

"Wait for a second!" Davis replied and calmed down.

He stood up and made his way to the door, and opened it only to see Isabella looking at him with no amount of expression on her face.

It seemed like she had been still offended by yesterday's transgressions and rude comments even though they had indirectly compromised yesterday.

"Yeah, I'm ready... Let's go..." Davis awkwardly said while receiving her expressionless stare.

She turned back and led the way out of the forest.

Davis followed behind her, and not so weirdly enough, no Magical Beast came to provoke her.

Maybe because the martial energy she faintly exuded was enough to scare the soul out of any Saint Beast Stage Magical Beast.

Besides, when he looked at the little dragon standing on top of her icy white shoulders, he suddenly realized it's power.

'Low-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast...' Davis was extremely shocked, albeit inwardly.

He was well aware of what its species rank could be; Only 4 days had passed since it was born, yet it was already at the Fifth Stage.

And he knew that from Old Man Garvin's words that only the legendary Emperor Rank Species could fit the description.

Furthermore, that earth dragon looked incredibly attached to Princess Isabella and even paid no heed to him after slightly looking at him.

He got even more curious about the Earth Dragon, so he couldn't help but ask, "Princess Isabella, what kind of method did you use to tame it, no, her?"

Isabela turned to glance at him before keeping her gaze on the front.

Davis saw it but could only wait for her answer.

Both of them were traveling at a speed of 80 meters per second in the air, so it was somewhat comfortable for Davis.

He knew that Sixth Stage Body Tempering Cultivators could fly using their martial energy, unlike the lower stage which couldn't help Body Tempering Cultviators fly in the air.

Though he was well aware that he was just holding her back from traveling at an incredible speed, he didn't feel sorry or anything.

After all, if he traveled any faster, he would certainly be wasting his stamina and energy to a huge degree.

And that would just put a slight interval to his journey, which Davis didn't want to since he was eager to return at a steady pace.

While he was thinking like that, an answer came back, "It's not like I tamed it specifically or anything. I just sent my energy into the egg, feeding and keeping it warm from the time she was born..."

She turned back her head and smiled, "And as a result, she sees me as its parent..."

Stroking the little dragon's head gently, she looked at the little Earth Dragon with gentleness.

"Oh." Davis nodded and felt that she was not a bad person.

She one way or another answered his questions without showing a bitchy attitude, so he viewed her in an approving light.

And now he could understand why she teased him.

She seemed to like cute things and loved playing with those cute things. Davis could understand that he was once a cute boy, but not now.

He secretly nodded his head for his childish actions. There was no way he would accept bullying in any form, especially when it concerned his manliness.

He looked at her back and asked, "I know this is presumptuous of me, but can I know what you exactly experienced in that Immortal Inheritance?"

Isabella turned to look back at him while still backstepping at the speed of 80 meters per second.

She looked at him in a strange light and answered, "You're awfully curious, aren't you?"

Davis shrugged with a smile on his face.

She furrowed one of her brows and answered, "I can only say that I have passed the King Grade Trial. There's still the Emperor Grade Trial and the Immortal Grade Trial to clear if it's possible. Understood?"

Davis was astonished to hear her confess, 'So she didn't completely inherit the Immortal Inheritance...'

Even so, he couldn't understand her because divulging this information had completely put her in a disadvantageous position.

"I'm only telling you this because I'm willing to allow a single individual from your Loret Empire to participate in the trial..." Isabella looked at him and viewed his reaction.

Davis took a moment to ponder before answering her statement, "It looks like Princess Isabella is misunderstanding my intentions..."

"I'm not asking this because I want a part of your Empire's Immortal Inheritance, it's because the more information I have about Immortal Inheritances, the more likely the chances the members of my family would have in gaining some Inheritances in the other Immortal Inheritance."

"I heard the First Emperor of the Ruth Empire was a Peak Sixth Stage Expert, so I assume he passed a lower grade trial?"

Isabela silently looked at him before she nodded her head, "He passed the Sky Grade Trial but couldn't clear the King Grade Trial, nor could the others of subsequent generations."

"That said, you keep mentioning another Immortal Inheritance... Why don't you speak about it or are you just bluffing?" Isabella coldly asked, yet one could see that there was something weird about her.

Davis listened to her but when he saw her slightly trembling eyelids, he was flabbergasted.

'What is this woman afraid of?!'

Davis kept silent as he looked at her secretly clenched fists, her eyelids quivered showing her fear of something.

Davis instantly understood, 'She's afraid of battle! Not against me but my so-called nonexistent master!'

'Why? Did she think I would turn hostile once she asked this question?'

Davis sighed inwardly as he thought to himself, 'The fear of the unknown is always scary...'

"Princess Isabella, even though it's not verified, from my conjecture, I think there are two other Immortal Inheritances in the Grand Sea Continent."

"One is Fire Phoenix and the other is Ice Phoenix..."

Isabella blinked her eyes as she tried to ascertain his answer but before she could answer back, she heard his voice.

"By the way, Princess Isabella, could you please stop displaying hostility. I know it has been for you to survive out here and even changed your personality a bit but I am not an enemy, okay?" Davis said in a displeased, yet teasing manner.

Isabella was visibly embarrassed, her cheeks turned red and she instantly turned around.

Davis secretly laughed and felt proud for no exact reason.

Suddenly, Isabela fazed out of his gaze and appeared beside him. She put a hand on his collars and uttered two words, "Too slow..."

*Zum!~*

"Wahhhh!!" Davis screamed over the top of his lungs.

Isabella shot past the mountainous forest at an incredible speed of over one kilometer per second which was basically ten times the speed they were traveling at before.
