Divine Emperor of Death

During the night, Davis lit a bonfire and set up a camp along with a Low-Level King Grade Defensive Formation he bought during the shopping for supplies. It cost him about 15,000 Mid-Level Spirit which is way costlier than a high-quality Low-Level King Grade Treasure which is usually sold around 10,000 Mid-Level Spirit Stones.

It probably had to do with the fact that the Defensive Formations were both in demand and powerful, with the latter becoming substantial for this particular Defensive Formation. It decisively brought his Mid-Level Spirit Stones to 105,000.

Davis and Evelynn traveled for a few thousand kilometers before finally stopping to rest, making a camp as he erected a tent.

The two of them were thousands of kilometers away from the inner region, however, this region hosted a few Saint Beast Stage Magical Beasts, and Davis sensed it with his Soul Sense likewise.

However, he didn't scram to chose another place but set up the tent nearby to those Magical Beasts since they were still hundreds of kilometers away from those Magical Beasts.

Even if the Magical Beasts invaded their resting place, they would still find it hard to break the defensive formation that had been set up. With their attacking power, they would have to probably attack for years to waste the defensive formation's energy, and even then, Davis still had an enormous amount of Spirit Stone supplies to keep the defensive formation alive.

Unless the formation core is destroyed, the barrier would still hold out unless it is destroyed in one or two hits!

In any case, they didn't need rest but habits die hard and no one likes to hunt in the darkness, at least, not normal people.

Davis was fine with hunting in the night but he knew Evelynn definitely wasn't. He considered her feelings into his plan to hunt and decided to rest.

In the tent, on the bed that they brought with them by carrying it within the spatial ring, they were unusually cuddling each other.

Yes, just cuddling with little to no sexual tension between them. Even though they were facing each other and their lips were just a few centimeters apart, they didn't engage in sexual intimacy.

Evelynn had already returned to her normal self and the burns that were on her fists had already been healed. Her lips had a faint smile on her face and it looked as if she was abnormally satisfied while just feeling his body heat warm her up.

Davis looked at his wife. Her expression and body warmth was incredibly tempting to him, however, he didn't make a move as he knew that he behaved like an asshole to her earlier this day.

With the previous lesson, he learned that being strict with her necessarily didn't need for him to be rude. His point can be driven home as long as he emphasized the importance.

Besides, seeing her become hurt because of him made him feel uncomfortable even more at that time. The sad and grievous feelings stemmed by the Sunset Tear Phenomenon was something he had expected but failed to consider the brunt as he felt Evelynn would close her eyes.

He was indeed waiting for the Heinous Scourge of the Sunset Tear Mountain to show up and rattle Evelynn so that he could get her to use poison but she instead ran away.

There were many times he thought that he would have to step in but her raging explosion, in the end, was a pleasant surprise.

Perhaps he still felt bad, he spoke, "I apologize..."

Evelynn became taken aback as she blinked. Her lips widened as she shook her head.

"It's not your fault. I understand that I was perhaps too nonchalant with you by my side. Or maybe it is because I know of your sec... That I became assured that we will never face danger..."

'Oh, she has also thought too deeply into it?' Davis became heartened. His task didn't go to waste and it could be even said as a big success!

He moved the palm that was on her waist to her head and stroked.

"By the way, who was that madman? He kept spouting nonsense but it made me feel inwardly conflicted." Evelynn suddenly spoke.

Davis laughed, "Heinous Scourge of the Sunset Tear Magical Beast Mountain..."

It took a few minutes to explain his deeds and that he was wanted by the Sunsi Kingdom for his heinous crimes. It seemed that his name was unknown but Davis knew his name through his Death God Eyes.

Elyas Hyden...

Such a good name but it was wasted over a twisted person, or so he felt.

"In short, he sinisterly used the Sunset Tear Phenomenon to make women expose their sadness, took advantage of their temporary weakness and aggrieved feelings to sexually exploit them before finally feeding them to some random Magical Beast."

Evelynn's expression became one of anger before a pale expression enveloped her face.

At first, he had a 'Seal' Inscription Symbol with him but she noticed it quickly and became wary as she escaped. Hence, the symbol became useless unless he could forcefully apply it to her.

But if she had been caught, wouldn't her Essence Gathering Cultivation be sealed? Wouldn't she have then become his prey before finally being fed to the Magical Beasts?

Davis noticed her expression and caressed her cheek, "Such a thing wouldn't have happened to you because I was always with you..."

"How... How can a person be like this?" Evelynn's pupils trembled.

Davis pursed his lips, "Well, I've seen a lot worse in the Loret Capital's Prison... Their crimes were... Unspeakable that it even gave me the chills..."

"So that's why you look unfazed..." Evelynn finally understood.

Davis chuckled, "My opinion about who is the biggest scum had changed though..."

"Who?"

"It's not those men who forcefully assault a woman but those men who try to take advantage of a woman's feelings and play with them, especially when the said woman is already in a relationship or married with someone else."

"The momentary weakness a woman displays in a relationship becomes a playground for such men to play with..."

"To be honest, they've topped the list for scums in my mind, crossing the former."

Evelynn blinked, "I think both of them tops the list though..."

"Of course, as a woman, you'll feel that way." Davis chuckled.

His meaning was clear, that men would be most wary of other men who seek to take advantage of their women!

Davis narrowed his eyes, "You did not see the scum scream miserably, right? Do you want to see?"

Evelynn shook her head and just stuck her face close to his chest, feeling his heart pound every second. The tent became silent and sounds of peaceful breath emanated inside before it finally became morning.

The sun rose and illuminated the entire mountain.

They promptly packed up their stuff and moved towards a specific direction.

The foliage and bushes became think, blocking their view on the ground, hence they had to fly above a few meters above the surface.

Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts were prevalent but perhaps Davis gave off his Martial Ascendance Stage undulations, none neared them. Besides, Evelynn too actively radiated her Poison Laws around her.

The Magical Beasts who witnessed Evelynn hurriedly scurried away for their lives as if they felt an enormous amount of danger.

Davis became flabbergasted at their actions. They were only wary and cautious of him but they absolutely wanted to stay clear of Evelynn!
