Divine Emperor of Death

"Uhh..." Natalya became tongue-tied before her face withered.

"Unfortunately, I never found the chance to cook for him as..."

Natalya abruptly became silent. In the temporary silence that besieged the hall, her cheeks started to turn red as she imagined what she did whenever he visited her; secretly.

They only had a short time to be together in their affairs and spending it physically was all they mostly thought about. All other things came second.

Evelynn was about to ask what had happened but she instantly understood when Natalya heavily blushed. She knew about their intimate affairs. After all, Davis had sought her acceptance before every time he went to meet her.

Then feeling like that she would be restricting him with her words if she said no, she gave in and said yes to each time he sought her out as if asking for permission. In any case, he did not neglect her in the process, so she was satisfied with his actions as well.

’A scoundrel but a truly responsible person...’ Or so she branded Davis in her mind.

The instant the sky grade quality tea was ready, she poured it in two small cups and gestured Natalya for her to take one.

Natalya smiled at her gesture and grasped the cup in her hands. A unique aroma that subconsciously made her Essence Gathering Cultivation circulate, entered her nostrils.

She couldn’t help but take a few sniffs again before she heaved a sigh, complimenting the tea, "Big sister’s tea brewing skill is excellent!"

Evelynn nodded her head with a smile, "You’re welcome. Now, try tasting the tea..."

"Of course, I can’t wait!"

Natalya eagerly replied and brought the tea to her lips. She lifted the cup and lukewarm liquid entered her small mouth.

The taste of hot liquid filling her taste buds made her almost moan in ecstasy as to display how rich and delicious the tea is but before she could even give a reply, a voice echoed.

"We can talk about what we are skilled in, right? I am skilled in Poison Laws, what about you?" Evelynn asked with a faint smile on her face.

"!!!"

Natalya’s ecstatic expression froze. The tea she was about to swallow abruptly stopped right before her throat, threatening to fall. However, Natalya desperately tried to not swallow it as her eyes trembled in fear.

She noticed the faint smile on Evelynn’s face and doubted her intentions to say something like that right at the moment she drank the tea.

’Is the tea laced with poison?’

Even her hand that held the cup started to tremble. She didn’t dare spit out the tea, afraid that it could completely offend the poison master.

Her gaze traveled back and forth to the cup and Evelynn’s face, trying to find out what her intention is! The was no way she could find a well-hidden poison, so she could only cast a look at Evelynn to find her intentions.

A few seconds passed and as she felt like she finally understood the vague smile on Evelynn’s face.

’Is she daring me to swallow it?’ Natalya assumed as she hardened her resolve.

Meanwhile, Evelynn who had no idea that she initiated a great battle in Natalya’s heart, mused as to why she was silent.

’She doesn’t want to reveal that she is skilled in Yin Laws? Why is there a need to be afraid of me? I wouldn’t tell it to anyone since she became his woman now...’

Evelynn became confused. She had asked in this way as if introducing their respective law domains so as to garner a suitable reply back but Natalya instead froze and became silent as it was a taboo to reveal that she was skilled in Yin Laws.

’Oh, is she afraid that I would leverage this fact and not allow her to see Davis? I guess that it’s understandable..."

Just when Evelynn was about to break the silence, Natalya closed her eyes tightly and swallowed the tea with a heavy gulp sound. She then prayed to the heavens that she did not swallow poison and loudly echoed.

"There! I believe that big sister did not poison this tea!"

"Did I pass your test!?" Natalya eagerly asked, believing that this farce was just an event to test her.

Evelynn’s smile faded away as she momentarily became dumbfounded. Only after a second did she understand her meaning and the reason for her silence.

She couldn’t help but let out a wry chuckle, "I was trying to get you to confess that you are skilled in Yin Laws, not test you by making you guess if I laced poison in the tea or not..."

Natalya became taken aback before she understood that she had gravely misunderstood the situation! Her cheeks trembled as she became incredibly embarrassed!

’Ahhhh!!’

She inwardly screamed, feeling that she had messed up. She instantly felt that even the little respect Evelynn had for her had disappeared, if such a thing even existed in the first place.

"Pftt~"

Evelynn suddenly laughed as she couldn’t take it. Natalya was just clumsier than her, perhaps even crossing her clumsiness by even two major levels. Just the sight of her goofiness made her laugh as she held her stomach, no longer able to digest the fact that someone was actually afraid of her.

Natalya’s lips twitched as she too laughed to hide her embarrassment. Laughing together as they looked at each other made her suddenly feel as if she could get along with this person as sisters, however, she felt that there was no need for that since there seemed to be no rules.

When Davis returned to the residence, it was already night.

Just a while ago, the sun had set, the illuminating rays fading away from the world. It cast the shadow of the buildings over him from the illuminating rays of the moon.

Davis cast a look behind and coldly snorted. Behind him were those four slaves who seemingly possessed vacant eyes.

He took a look at them, gazing at their features before his gaze fell on their four spatial rings! He extended his hand and had them hand those four spatial rings to him before he bound it to himself by dropping a few drops of blood on the four spatial rings.

He didn’t use his soul for a connection since he felt that there might be some traps; being overcautious. With his soul, he felt that he could easily tackle any traps with Fallen Heaven’s death-like energy.

He felt as if his blood engulfed the spatial ring and formed a connection with him. The next second, he was able to investigate its contents.

Davis’s eyes shone in glee!

’As expected of Royal Protectors... They wouldn’t let their spatial rings be marked...’

He then inspected the contents for a moment before widening his eyes and curving his lips again.

’Sigh... It’s so easy to become rich by using Fallen Heaven....’ Davis couldn’t help but sigh.

He had 196,345 High-Level Spirit Stones in his spatial ring since he still hadn’t taken out the wealth of the Blood Arc Mercenary Leader’s spatial ring.

Including these new tributes he had gotten from these four slaves, he mused that he had become richer than a Low-Level Eighth Stage Expert from the large Territories, at least from the more medium-sized Territories.

He guessed that even if he had not become richer than them, equaling their wealth wasn’t a problem at all!

Davis’s lips widened in glee as he couldn’t help but take a look again at the contents. He included the Blood Arc Mercenary Leader’s spatial ring this time on top of those four spatial rings.

First, he let his senses enter the five spatial rings at the same time and counted the number of Spirit Stones.
