Divine Emperor of Death

Natalya had never felt this faint-hearted before... not even when she was kidnapped in the past. At that time, she only felt despair.

This person whom she had fallen for even dared to take a Poison Master as his wife? She felt the world spinning right in front of her eyes but suddenly a snap pulled her out from her reverie.

Davis dropped his fingers and brought her closer to his face, "You're also not an ordinary person, you know?"

During their extremely intimate session, Davis subconsciously circulated the Dual Cultivation Manual, Yin-Yang Sutra, wanting to share his energy with her in one of the extremely pleasurable rounds but then realized that her energy automatically responded to him, as if it were a natural circulation to her.

If her hymen wasn't intact when he penetrated her, it wasn't an exaggeration to say he would've thought otherwise, that she was already involved in sexual activities, training in Dual Cultivation Manuals.

"It seems that I am skilled in Yin Laws..." Natalya revealed her secret without even batting an eyelid.

The matter that her Grandpa seemed to repeatedly warn to keep this a secret had been easily revealed by her to Davis. This indicated her trust levels but Davis didn't know that this matter was treated as a secret.

"Oh? Despite not having a physique like the Exquisite Nine Yin Body or the Pure Yin Body, you're skilled in Yin Laws? That's extremely rare..." Davis genuinely expressed his admiration.

He didn't doubt this point as it also correlated to his thoughts.

Feeling the need to warn, she hesitatingly uttered, "Umm... Grandpa warned me numerous times to not reveal this matter to others..."

"Of course he would! If you're known to be skilled in Yin Laws, even the Alstreim Family's young masters would come to pick you up!" Davis exclaimed causing Natalya to blink.

"Wait... Do you not realize the significance of being skilled in Yin Laws?" 

Natalya shook her head.

Seeing her be ignorant, Davis explained.

"Yin Laws is categorized as Greater Laws and it's lined up with Yang Laws, Space, Time Laws, and some other powerful Laws."

"Nevertheless, these Greater Laws are harder to comprehend than Primary Laws. However, some people are born with the aptitude to learn these kinds of Greater Laws with unique physiques."

"The Exquisite Nine Yin Body and Pure Yin Body are two such unique physiques that are related to Yin Laws. People who have these two constitutions find it easier to comprehend Yin Laws. However, there is a drawback, that is... the limitation, in other words, the grade of their unique physique."

"If a woman with an Exquisite Nine Yin Body Physique has her physique grade at King Grade, then it becomes a limitation. She will be unable to learn Level One Intent of Yin Laws at the Eighth Stage, only remaining at the elementary intent."

"Like a Magical Beast's Bloodline connected with their Species Rank that affects their growth, the Cultivator's Physique also affects their growth or law comprehension. Just like how bloodline shackles is a curse for Magical Beasts, the grade of the physique is also a curse for a cultivator with a Physique."

"Nevertheless, like Magical Beasts who can break their bloodline shackles by employing various methods, cultivators can also increase their physique by using various methods but they are all rare to find and implement."

He shook his head.

"Personally, I have only seen a single Magical Beast break is bloodline shackles but it's offtopic so I won't move to that now."

"However, you on the other hand is skilled in Yin Laws. Literally, and permanently skilled in Yin Laws..." Davis smirked.

"Which means, if you get your hands on a suitable Yin Attributed Cultivation Manual that is at Emperor Grade, you can eventually race to the Eighth Stage as long as your comprehension level isn't sub-par..."

Natalya's eyes widened as she felt chills on her back. She even felt goosebumps enveloping her body!

"Even though your rate of comprehension in Yin Laws is permanent, there are still many levels that categorize the rate of comprehension. I, however, don't know the correct categorization of the rate of comprehension, neither have I measured my own." Davis shook his head as he shrugged.

"I... Am I that powerful?" Natalya couldn't believe it.

"Figuratively speaking, yes." Davis nodded his head. 

"Some people, even with the Low-Level Emperor Grade Cultivation Manual wouldn't be able to reach the Eighth Stage without plenty of resources accompanying their growth but you, on the other hand, will be able to reach the Eighth Stage with the Low-Level Emperor Grade Cultivation Manual along with a few amount of resources as long as you have time."

Hearing his speech, Natalya had her confidence boosted to a tremendous degree.

"But you don't have an Emperor Grade Cultivation Manual or even a Sky Grade Manual to speak of... Isn't that right?"

Natalya instantly had cold water poured over her head. It woke her up out of her reverie as she dejectedly said, "Grandpa only recently gave me the Cultivation Manual I currently train in with his instructions before... It seems to be a Peak-Level Earth Grade Yin Attributed Cultivation Manual."

Davis moved his left arm which held her slim shoulders. He ran his fingers through her nape and her black hair, holding her head as she pulled her to his face.

Their lips touched as they kissed again.

Davis let her lips go and smiled, "Well, since you've become my woman, then you don't need to worry about that in the possible future..."

Natalya bit her lips as she looked at his confident sapphire eyes and nodded. She didn't reject as she imagined that he will provide her possibly with a Sky Grade Yin Attributed Cultivation Manual once she peaked the Body Transformation Stage, enabling her to enter the Law Seed Stage.

Davis smacked his lips and finally decided to let her know of this matter. 

"Speaking of your grandfather, it seems that he is bent on becoming my foe..."

"What!?" Natalya's eyes shot wide as her pupils dilated.

"Well, to be precise. It is not your grandfather, but the one behind him."

Natalya heaved a sigh, "Grandpa's backer? You mean the Third Prince?"

Davis nodded his head, "Yes... With his command, your grandfather is trying to investigate the background of the Conferred Queen. However, the target he chose is me."

"You? What do you have to do with the Conferred Queen's background?" Natalya became confused.

"I and the Conferred Queen are living in the same residence but different buildings, so your grandfather assumed that we are from the same place..."

'He is not wrong though...' Davis inwardly chuckled. He and Princess Isabella were from the Grand Sea Continent after all.

"No wonder... No wonder Grandpa became curious about your portrait. Oh no! Grandpa already knows that your name in the Tripartite Alliance Territory is Alchemist Scythe! With this, he can tell Alchemist Scythe and you are the same person..." Natalya screamed in worry.

Davis chuckled, "Even if he finds out, so what? He will only be able to find that I became famous in Royal Xuan City. As for my true origin, he will never be able to find it."

"However, if things get messy between me and your grandfather, whose side will you take?" Davis's eyes flashed with scrutiny. 

He knew what he was doing, placing her in a hard position like a newly married woman telling her man to choose between his mother and her but he needed to know since the situation might evolve to life and death battle instead of a normal conflict.

Natalya's heart trembled as she could tell that depending on her answer, the way he would treat her might change enormously. As for whether it would affect her positively or negatively, she didn't know.

Nevertheless, she answered the next second without much hesitation, "I will take your side... However..."
