Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1955 - Inviting Out

Chapter 1955 - Inviting Out

Bylai was holding Davis's arm as their figures flashed into the Alstreim Family's seating area. However, she still didn't leave by his side, having her head lowered. She could only thank the heavens that there was a golden veil on her face to block the shame.
Bylai felt truly embarrassed. There was not only the matter of Davis hugging her in front of everyone and accepting her confession, but she had actually vented her grievances by throwing attacks at him.
Attacking the man she promised to be with innumerable punches and kicks? How despicable of her.
Venting? That was not the air of an expert, much less the grand Golden Dragon Queen's.
She felt completely ashamed that she wanted to go hide in a hole and never come out. However, unexpectedly, this kind of feeling was extremely refreshing! It was as though all the muddy matters clouding her mind were gone. She could see the world more clearly. Her vision was the same, but it was as though she reached a new high in her mental realm, similar to feeling like having her will tempered.
She didn't think that this kind of battle would clear away the little bit of her resentment and grievances left in her heart, but it happened, making her think this was miraculous.
Davis's embarrassment faded as soon as he returned. His look was indifferent, making him possess a transcendent air. It was not that he was putting on a big image, but Bylai's bouncy peaks were sandwiching his arm that he had no choice but to restrain himself.
"You knew this would happen?" Bylai couldn't help but ask as she raised her head to look at him, her question sounding vague.
However, Davis knew what she meant and shrugged.
"I don't know. The only thing I know is that venting out one's frustration and grievances is as important as restraining oneself."
"As cultivators, we meet with many matters and have many experiences. I've told this before, and I'll tell it again. The time spent on cultivation should no more than be ninety percent. The rest should go to your luxury and leisure. Part of it should be for fun, and the other part of it should be to maintain a firm heart. If you don't even spend a bit of time cultivating your character and values, you'll end up becoming a puppet or a fool."
"The same way, venting is also a part of your leisure. If you have any grievances, spit them out. If you're being wronged, speak up. We can talk things out as a family, but we should never raise our blades against each other. If I did something wrong and If you want to beat me up- ah, well, go easy on me."
Evelynn and the others were in a trance, listening to him express words of wisdom, but then he suddenly became this scoundrel, causing them to glare at him.
But Bylai particularly smiled and blushed, feeling that the heavens blessed her to have such a man. After all, she hadn't held back at all except using battle techniques. She couldn't tolerate the pain on her breaking knuckles and used the metal armor for bearing the brunt, so her fists were fine, but Davis took it all like a man.
Not many prideful men could handle an insult from their women, much less let them beat them. They would be crushed or left alone instead. It was truly the case of a man having complete control over them.
However, to be in this kind of control, she was glad to be in it.
Holding his arm from the side, a glimmer of gratefulness and respect shone in her eyes.
"Bylai, I'm envious!~"
Zestria abruptly appeared in front of Bylai as she clenched her teeth. She tried to pull Bylai away from Davis. However, Bylai tightly held Davis and shouted at her.
"Go away. Didn't you get to enjoy more time with him? Hmph!"
"No, since Davis told us to vent, I'm going to vent. You managed to receive the acknowledgment of the entire New Era Battle Arena. Isn't this marriage already?"
*Gasp!~*
Bylai's bosoms shook as she went stiff, having suddenly realized something. They were only lacking the marital dress and oaths. Otherwise, this was already a kind of marriage with the grandness of the scale. Thinking like this, her expression couldn't help but turn crimson with happiness.
"Zestria, thanks!~ Here, you can have this place."
Bylai stepped back with an elegant demeanor, letting Zestria grab him. Zestria tightly held Davis's arm between her overflowing bosoms, flicking her tongue at Bylai as though she made her lose.
Davis's brows couldn't help twitch. His other arm was free. Why compete for his right arm? He really couldn't understand their thought process.
However, despite Zestria acting childish, she leaned on his shoulder, feeling at ease. It was as though she had only done this to say that she hadn't lost to Bylai in terms of receiving his love. Her rivalry seemed to be spurred into action, making her do this even though she felt embarrassed.
Compared to Bylai, that little bit of grievance was long dissolved in Zestria's heart when Davis saved her from the Tyrant Hawk Abode's talons when Quara had come wanting to have a taste of her blood. After being betrayed by the Domitian Family, she thought the entire world had turned against her, condemning her, but he hadn't traded her away.
Her hateful heart also cleared after she went to be taken by him of her own volition. However, since she was first his first Dragon Queen, if one removed Isabella, she felt envious that Bylai had received even more love than her. It was unexplainable and instantly made her frustrated, and spurred by Davis's words, she acted on it, which made the others laugh.
And in truth, even Fiora and the other women felt envious of Bylai, pouting a bit. She was the Golden Dragon Queen. They felt like they had to work hard even more and make a name for themselves, receiving a title.
Natalya was already being called the Ice Fairy, but after she showcased her yin fusion, that title became Yin Lotus Fairy.
Although they had displayed their Perfect Domains, it wasn't enough to receive a title.
But the reason they wanted to work hard wasn't that they were worried Davis would leave them but because they wanted their own specialty. They wanted to be unique so that they could say that the love they receive from him is through their own efforts.
Bylai was a good example of moving the hearts of people and then Davis, even if it was through sympathy and conviction. Evelynn, Isabella, Nadia, and Shirley were other greater examples: they obtained vengeance, protected them all, and even saved Davis from the dead. They wanted to do something similar, capable of moving his heart.
After some time, Davis heard a strange rumor spread.
It seemed that people were afraid that he would appear and steal their daughters out of nowhere in the next three days, although some became spurred by that rumor and were ready to send their daughters to him, some even visiting Ancestor Dian Alstreim to form a marriage alliance. Surprisingly, they were at the Ninth Stage and said to be talented, only less than the geniuses appearing in the competition.
The hegemons weren't the only powers in the human race, after all. There were many powers capable of matching the prowess of mid-sized hegemons. It was just their capital wasn't that great to go toe to toe against them, resulting in weaker geniuses.
Nonetheless, Davis's women all looked at him with narrowed eyes, making him almost drenched in a cold sweat. Although he begged innocence to his women that it wasn't his fault, they didn't believe him.
In the end, they took him to one of the resting rooms, forming a gathering while also not letting him leave, and considering that Natalya didn't come back yet, he could only abide by their words. Besides, they had all participated in the second round, so there was no need to remain outside, although he felt a bit bad about not being able to see Ellia's battle.
That little girl was probably bored, wanting him to witness her battle. However, it was as the guy who apparently courted death said. His women were really afraid that he would take more women.
'Seems like I had gone over the limit, almost provoking their bottom line...'
Davis could only assume and wait for Natalya to come back. With him going back to rest, the Jade Lotus Valley also wouldn't suspect Natalya to be his messenger. As long as Natalya came back before Ellia's battle, he would be able to see Ellia, so he unworriedly sat and bullied his women in the meantime.
========
As soon as the curtains dropped on Davis and Bylai's romance above the battle stage, Natalya appeared in the Jade Lotus Valley's seating area, causing their experts to react in shock.
"Yin Lotus Fairy, we didn't expect for you to come to our humble valley."
A green-robed woman with good proportions and beautiful starry black eyes strode forward with graceful steps welcomed Natalya. It was none other than the Valley Master of the Jade Lotus Valley.
Natalya blushed upon hearing those words. She had heard it from ordinary people, but even the Jade Lotus Valley's Valley Master was calling her that?
She felt embarrassed but also prideful.
"Greetings, Valley Master. I've come to see Ivy Aries, wanting to exchange pointers with her, seeing that we have similar lotus techniques."
Natalya didn't hide her intentions to meet Ivy Aries, except the reason she gave was different.
"Indeed," The Valley Master shook her head, "We old-timers are unqualified. Only geniuses can exchange pointers with each other"
"I didn't mean it like that, Valley Master."
"Hehe~ I'm just joking."
"…"
Natalya thought she made a wrong move and offended her, but she didn't expect the other party to be teasing her.
"What? Did you expect us to be restrained and indifferent?" The Valley Master grinned behind her veil, "We do not practice Ice Laws to be like that. We practice the gentleness of Water Laws, but we also devour the struggles in our path, and although we seclude ourselves and aren't talkative, we are not outcasts. It seems that the world does really see us as quiet and hard to get to know women, not that I'm complaining. It's nice not to be bothered, but if it's Yin Lotus Fairy, you're welcome."
Natalya couldn't help but smile.
"I'm relieved. The Jade Lotus Valley is making its true comeback."
"We have no choice but to..."
As the Valley Master spoke, she pointed at the Calamity Light without turning to look at it, causing Natalya to nod.
"I'm the same. I want to support my husband in whatever way I can, so I've come to learn a thing or two from Ivy Aries."
Hearing Natalya's words, the Valley Master oddly smiled. However, she didn't say anything and turned to look behind and nodded.
Only then did Ivy Aries arrive before Natalya, cupping her hands.
"I didn't think the Yin Lotus Fairy would come all the way here to talk to the defeated me. I'm truly honored."
Natalya instantly saw through the rigorous restrictions posted on these disciples. Although Ivy Aries possessed enough power to rival her Valley Master, it could be seen that she was humble and obedient. Perhaps, it was just respect, and she had misunderstood.
In any case…
"Yes, let's go somewhere alone to exchange pointers." Natalya spoke with an amicable tone, "The battle before was truly a bit disappointing, not because you lost but because you gave up soon. I know you have more techniques to show me. It would be rather disturbing for us to be in this space. We can either go to the resting room to merely discuss or go somewhere outside to practice, treating this as a chance to sightsee. You can pick."
Ivy Aries couldn't help but blink. She turned to look at her Valley Master when a soul transmission fell inside her head.
"What are you looking at me for? You would be the one leading our Jade Lotus Valley after this competition ends, so if you don't make some acquaintance with other powers, you would be losing out and missing experience."
The Valley Master's voice was filled with kindness, causing her to turn to look at Natalya.
"Let's go outside."
