Divine Emperor of Death

Davis blinked and surveyed the scene of the banquet with his eyes. His eyes were traversing around the cheerful woman, who were laughing and giggling as they ate their portions in small amounts. Their banter and smiles created an atmosphere of flowers, swaying over the spotlight.

They garnered so much attention from the surrounding people, with most of the gazes belonging to men.

The gazes of those women sometimes brushed past Davis as they felt some kind of attraction towards him, mostly because of the reason that he was disguised. Combined with the mysterious feeling he gave off due to being an avatar, he appeared enigmatic in the eyes of the curious flowers.

Some even imperceptibly squinted their eyes at him, wanting to see his true features.

"No matter where he goes, my son still remains popular..." Claire chuckled as she commented, nudging Davis's waist with her elbow.

"Stop jesting mother... If you're talking about popularity, why don't you let father look at them..."

Claire looked towards her left and shrugged at the sight.

Logan had his face buried on the sumptuous feast. He did not dare look above because some women in the crowd had already thrown glances over him.

In reality, there were both gazes of interest and ill intent cast over him. With women being the former and the men being the latter, he found it hard to walk outside these few days because of his lady killer looks.

Because of his looks, they had already had trouble with a few people when they traveled but didn't escalate.

However, each time a woman cast a sultry or willing gaze at him, he could only remember the swear he made to the heavens, that he would not intimately approach any women other than his current wives.

Right now, he was regretting that fact but clearly, the delicious feast in front of him is helping him tide over it.

Claire moved her gaze away, no longer paying heed to her husband, thinking that she should thoroughly entertain him later. Now that they were the only two people in their house, their relationship enriched!

However, she still felt bad that she had left her other three children in the Loret Empire's Royal Capital. If possible, she would have brought them along but there were so many misgivings for her to bring them here.

In this endeavor, she also knew that they would encounter dangerous mishaps, hence, she felt that the decision she made in regards to her other three children was necessary.

Besides, if Clara took care of the Loret Empire with the help of the others, she felt that nothing could go wrong with Clara's Transcendent Truth Eyes.

Thinking about all this, Claire sighed. She turned her gaze back to Davis, "That said, how is your relationship with that Dragon Princess?"

Davis became stunned. He doubted what he heard but then blinked, realizing that his mother meant about Princess Isabella. His pupils then dilated, wondering how his mother found about the matter?

'Did Evelynn tell?'

Davis acted confused, "What do you mean, mother?"

Claire blinked as she looked at her son's posture and gaze. She smiled, "It's just so I realized that Dragon Princess has rather been looking at me strangely... Combined with her previous interactions with you, I thought something had happened between the two of you."

"If it's nothing of concern, just take it as if I've said nothing..."

Claire shrugged and took a bite out of a succulent piece of meat, her lips moving along with her chewing of the meat, "Mhmm... So good~"

Meanwhile, Davis inwardly had his jaws go agape.

'Why are women so perceptible!!?' He inwardly shouted, 'Why are Evelynn and Mother so perceptive when it comes to these matters?'

'Or is the way I interacted with Princess Isabella much obvious to others?'

He couldn't remember displaying affection or desire for her other than the one time he confessed. They were all alone and somehow, he had confessed with the flow but he got rejected and sent out anyway.

Davis pursed his lips, thinking if he should divulge what had happened when he spoke with Princess Isabella. He thought for a while before becoming what his mother would say if she comes to know about this matter.

"The truth is... I've confessed to her that I like her..."

A smile abruptly spread over Claire's lips. She didn't say anything but continued to eat. Logan stopped eating and glanced at Davis as his mouth went agape with meat hanging over his lips.

This prompted Davis to smile wryly in embarrassment but his expression was hidden by the mask.

Logan leaned over Claire and patted Davis's shoulder, "You're truly my son! I'm so proud of you!"

Claire slapped his hand away and held Davis's shoulder, "I have no objections."

Davis nodded his head as he already knew that because of the past events with him getting engaged to two women at the same time. Needless to say, that matter was met with his mother's approval, so he knew that they would obviously not object to his interest in multiple women.

"It's just that, is Evelynn okay with it?" Claire pursed her lips.

"She's obviously not..." Davis eyed his mother and averted his gaze, "But she said okay for me..."

Claire's eyes widened in astonishment while Logan shot a look at Claire, wondering why his wife wasn't like that but then remembered that she accepted his concubines as his women in the end.

"Well, I can only say that you are lucky. If you were with a woman like me, then I will definitely not allow you to have other women, even if you act like dying emotionally. I'd rather kill you myself." Claire chuckled and sighed, "But since your father had his women earlier than me, and even had children in the process, I have no choice but to let him be the winner in this life."

Davis couldn't help but nod his head. If Claire wasn't serious about Logan, then starting with dishing out insults before finally ending with a life and death battle, nothing negative would've occurred between them in the past.

Although his mother is conservative, and still is, she is rather outspoken when it comes to her beliefs and opinions. In that regard, he greatly admired her.

Sticking to one's beliefs is admirable but adapting to situations and making the right decisions contrary to one's belief is even more admirable, just like how his mother had finally accepted Logan's women.

As a result, it no longer bothered her, even improving their relationship in the process.

Though it might be unhealthy in the view of others, these things were pretty common in this cultivation world, or so Davis thought.

Logan and Claire were originally people from different layers with a history of bloodshed on both sides. He found it hard to imagine how they managed to fall in love with each other.

"Do you want mother's help?" Claire suddenly asked.

"Hahaha..." Davis laughed as he shook his head, causing Claire to become confused.

"What's with you two? Evelynn also asked that... And even provided a feasible plan."

Claire formed an 'O' of understanding and took a piece of meat into her mouth. After chewing and tasting the layer of flavors, she swallowed, "Unfortunately, mine was just a test."

'You liar...' Davis inwardly smiled and didn't bother about it.

Claire abruptly turned to look at Davis, "My son..."

"What?" Davis became taken aback by her seriousness all of a sudden.
