Divine Emperor of Death

Soon enough, Davis sensed another group of cultivators heading in the direction where they killed those Seventh Stage Cultivators. There were two Seventh Stage Cultivators in the group, flying with a solemn expression on their faces.

Davis and the others flew past them without being detected as there was a wide distance between them.

Uncle Erik's group had their hearts on their throats. Seeing the group that was at a sensing distance fly away from them as they were ignored, a sense of unrealistic feeling welled up within them.

They couldn't tell the difference of Davis's Soul Force since they weren't well versed in Soul Forging Cultivation for starters while Princess Isabella was purely able to tell it with her physical senses.

"We escaped..." Uncle Erik let out a sigh as the other two nodded their heads in relief. At the same time, they couldn't help but cast a glance at Davis, thinking how powerful he had become in this short amount of time.

If they were caught now, they imagined that their lives in the future would be worse than death, being chased by them to the ends of the three territories.

======

A day passed.

Davis and the others left the Severed Mountain Stretches, crossing the borders of the Desolate Plains and entered the borders of the Loseris Kingdom.

Davis and Princess Isabella discussed for a few minutes before they came to a consensus.

It would be unreasonable for Davis and the others to rely on Princess Isabella if strong pursuers were to discover them, so they choose to stay somewhere inconspicuous in the Loseris Kingdom, deciding to stay low for the time being, at least until the heat from the chase and patrols decreased.

They did encounter two more groups belonging to the Tripartite Alliance but there were no Seventh Stage Cultivators in that group, so they easily managed to escape without even being discovered, just like the previous case.

Loseris Kingdom, Anido City, Theo Inn, Luxurious Room 6.

Davis and Evelynn stayed in this luxurious room while Logan and Claire stayed at the room next door which was numbered 7.

Room number 8 had been occupied by Princess Isabella while 9 and 10 were occupied by Hadian, Mulia and Uncle Erik as the couple stayed together.

The luxurious room was spacious and comfortable, over 100 square meters in area, capable of housing 5 people at once but they choose to get independent rooms since they were rich and needed privacy.

In Luxurious Room 6.

Davis sat and leaned on the cushioned headboard of a comfy king-sized bed. He looked at the small chandeliers and decorations painting the ceiling but the reflection in his eyes was glazed, which indicated that he was absorbed in his own thoughts.

There were a bunch of soft footsteps coming from the room outside. When the foot and legs became visible, Davis glanced at the incoming figure and smiled as his gaze was automatically attracted to Evelynn. To be precise, his gaze landed on the bunch of objects that were in her hands.

In Evelynn's hands was a silver tray, and on top of it were a collection of succulent meat that was placed on some circular bowls. The meat let off an aroma that let Davis know that they were fried and, even saucy.

He licked his lips as his hands automatically extended in her direction, reaching towards the starters.

Evelynn smiled and moved the tray out of his reach, towards her side. She used her soul force to pick up a piece of red, tantalizing meat and grasped it in her fingers.

"Ahhn~" She hummed as her hands extended towards his mouth.

Seeing the incoming delicacy that approached his mouth, he opened and waited for her to place the meat.

In the next moment, he felt the succulent piece of meat entering his mouth, his tongue coating it with his saliva as he closed his mouth.

But on top of the meat, there was an additional 'meat' trapped in his mouth.

Evelynn looked at her index finger which was held by his mouth. Her face gradually became flushed red before she took it out of his lusty jaws.

Davis gave off a wink and hummed in an ecstatic tone, "Hmm~ So delicious! Your cooking is indeed top tier."

Evelynn didn't proceed to wipe off his saliva and the sauce of the meat from her fingers, instead, she brought it to her own mouth as she sucked.

Then to his statement of her cooking is delicious, she gave a nod in agreement. She didn't taste it beforehand since she was confident in her own cooking skills.

Davis took the tray off her hands and proceeded to chump off the remaining pieces of meat before Evelynn could grab some of it off the plate.

In a few seconds, he let out a burp and looked at Evelynn with an innocent gaze, his eyes avoiding her reproachful stare.

The few pieces of meat were cooked for the both of them but he took it all, digesting those Fourth Stage Magical Beast meat in his stomach, turning into energy.

"I'm not going to cook again if you don't buy me food."

Hearing her threatening him with that delicious food of hers, Davis turned speechless.

He blinked and nodded his head instantly, afraid that she would lash out but her face instantly blossomed into a smile upon witnessing his approval.

In any case, he wasn't satisfied with just these few pieces of meat. He wanted to have a few tons for himself, and so did Evelynn as her appetite was almost the same as him. 

Davis's expression became dull. The meat that entered his stomach was already refined into energy and circulated through his entire body.

As for the waste, there was none, or maybe just a tiny bit.

The reason? Because of his Gold Stage Cultivation, his stomach didn't find it hard to digest it completely.

He looked at Evelynn as a hearty feeling welled up within his heart. A great wife who can cook like a five-star chef, a devoted wife who listens to his words, a faithful wife who takes care of him, an obedient wife who doesn't reject his advances unless it was outside or extreme, a dependable wife who supports him, consoles him and understands him.

And whatnot...

He felt like he had hit the lottery and had the best woman in the world for himself, yet even so...

Even so...

'Why am I thinking about other women?' Davis gave off a rather weak sigh. He couldn't help but feel disgusted at his thoughts.

"Davis?" 

Davis turned startled as he turned to look at her but found that her eyes were narrowed while a frown emerged on her face.

Seeing her reaction, his lips twitched, "Did I perhaps say it out loud?"

Evelynn nodded her head as the frown on her face disappeared, "Who were you thinking about?"

"It's that girl, Ellia..." Davis came clean, "And that Ashton woman..." 

Davis directly didn't say Shirley, afraid that he would ruin her appetite and their mood.

Evelynn blinked as she didn't think Davis would answer her question honestly. She wasn't surprised to see herself aggrieved but curious.

"Why did you remember them suddenly?"

Davis was with her all this time, so where did he get the time to at least meet them once for him to think about them? Evelynn didn't know anything about the said event and could not understand, so she asked again, "Could it be that you found clues pertaining to Shirley in the First Layer already?"

Davis had once theorized that Princess Shirley could've gone to the First Layer. 

Could it be true?
