Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 176

Chapter 176
Daniuis smiled and patted her head, he then laughed, "You love kids so much that you even saved a brat of unknown origins . . . Well, it isn't your first time anyway, other than the kid being powerful than the other kids you saved in this Desolate Plains . "
"Now that I think about it, the last time I saved a kid was like 30 years ago . . . " She replied as she made a cute face .
"Whatever you do, I know it's for the best . . . But I'm just not sure about this new kid you saved . Davis . . . huh? He gives me a vague uneasy feeling that I just couldn't get it out of my head . " Daniuis sighed as he narrowed his eyes .
"I'm telling you, there's nothing suspicious about him . He might've said some lies to conceal his origins but I don't think he is a bad person . . . " Su Hualing said as she pouted .
"Alright, alright . I believe your instincts and it will be better if it's just as you said . I just want to protect you all and build a new family for us once the time is right . "
"Husband, it won't take long before you reach the Law Sea Stage . Once you attain it, you will just be a step away from reaching the Ninth Stage . "
Daniuis lifted his eyebrows, "Except that step is incredibly distant, you know . . . "
"I'll wait, we'll all wait . . . " She replied as she closed on his lips while she closed her eyes .
Daniuis reciprocated and kissed her deeply .
They both opened their eyes later when Daniuis eyes flickered with a wild expression while her face went shy as she felt something hitting her lower body .
"Hyaah!~" Su Hualing let out a sound of surprise as he lifted her and entered from her back . Her eyes went up as her facial expression changed to an erotic display .
. . .
In the Second Layer, Loret Empire's Royal Capital .
After Davis left, Logan and Claire had a good talk and managed to save their relationship .
Claire knew that it wasn't his fault as he had not betrayed her in the first place . His relationship with Violet was something that had happened a long time ago, and the result out of that relationship was none other than Ernest .
Because of that she also felt that it would be irresponsible of him to send them out . That left her with little choice .
Either to make it difficult for him and herself by sending them away or to make him take care of that woman in good health by keeping her in the Royal Castle .
Claire felt that both were unfair to her after much thought, so she decided to choose the latter to save her marriage with Logan .
Moving on, she busied herself with improving the Empire's forte, even establishing an intelligence department .
Everything turned out well for good, or so she thought as she resumed her life with Logan .
. . .
A month later after Davis left for the First Layer .
An entourage from the Ashton Empire showed up in front of the Royal Castle .
Logan quickly dressed himself up as he looked at Claire .
Claire sat on the bed naked, her lithe figure obstructed by a sheet that she used to cover herself .
"You heard it, right? Emperor Ashton is here for some reason . I'll go first, you come later okay?" Logan asked and after he received her nod, he left .
Going out the Empress's Quarters, he walked along the corridor . Halfway through the intersection where all ways connected to the Throne Hall, he surprisingly met with Emperor Ashton .
"Emperor Ashton!"
"Emperor Loret!" Emperor Ashton's brows lifted as he neared him .
They both laughed as they arrived beside each other, interacting as they made their way to the Throne Hall .
Behind them was Shirley who silently followed them like an obedient and filial daughter .
Logan had tried to get information from the location of the secret entrance yet it was of no use because he still hadn't been promoted to be a member of the Guardian Alliance .
He was curious enough, and once Claire arrived, the two went straight into the matter .
"Emperor Ashton, is it possible to know what had happened to my son in that place? Logan asked in a worried tone .
Emperor Ashton boisterously laughed, "The truth is . . . The reason I'm visiting your place is simply because of your son . . . "
Once he said that in a jovial tone, he slightly eyed Shirley .
Shirley came closer to Claire and stretched her hands a container appeared on her palms .
Claire blinked, "What is this?"
She waited for Shirley's reply but seeing as there were none, she took it and opened it .
Once she did that, her eyes narrowed to a greater degree as she had recognized the design and the structure of the spacial rings in the container .
Most of them were from her place, the Alstreim Family Territory while the others were from the other two territories adjacent to the Tripartite Alliance Territory .
"How?" Claire asked with a dumbfounded expression on her face .
Emperor Ashton nudged Shirley to explain, so the latter did so in pure intentions, leaving any superfluous details that might seem advantageous to her .
After she had finished her explanation, Logan and Claire both had their faces proud .
Even a tear fell from Claire's eyes as she had realised Davis's real prowess from Shirley's vague, yet detailed explanation .
Emperor Ashton congratulated them and told them about Shirley's achievements in being able to move the influential masses to contribute to the right cause, such as giving a share to Loret Empire because these spatial rings had been possible all because of Davis .
Logan and Claire both knew how the world worked . They instantly saw through Shirley's actions as something that was done out of love for someone .
And to them, that someone couldn't be any more obvious .
They awkwardly thanked Shirley for her actions and even vaguely consoled her, albeit indirectly .
After the two left after some time of talk, Logan and Claire felt awful about Shirley's predicament .
"Dear, what do you think?" Claire gave a side-eye .
Logan shook his head, "You should leave the youngins to deal with their own mess . . . "
"Like how you're dealing with it right now?" Claire glaringly asked .
Logan obediently shut his mouth .
