Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 1617 - The Strongest

Davis, Nadia, and Mo Mingzhi finally returned to the Purple Guest Palace, concealed. Mo Mingzhi held carried Schleya on her back, looking at Davis with a pout as if not to let him take advantage of her while Davis appeared unworried about Mo Mingzhi's safety because he already removed Schleya's spatial ring and sealed her cultivation with a spirit formation.

Nevertheless, knowing that Mo Mingzhi would not be able to stand a chance against Schleya's physical might, he ordered her to throw Schleya into a room and lock her up for the time being.

"Hmph, with commands like these, there's no way you'll be able to sleep with her." Mo Mingzhi sneered.

"Is that so?"

Davis sounded indifferent as he turned to look at Nadia, who opened her mouth.

"I'll go show my face to the world…"

Nadia turned around and left while Davis nodded, knowing that her presence was the one thing that struck fear into the hearts of enemies.

At the moment, growing was extremely difficult for Nadia, so she had no choice but to wait it out unless she consumes large quantities of Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Cores, which were also known as Vein Sources.

'And by large quantities, I meant hundreds of Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources. However, since Nadia is already at the apex of the Mid-Level Emperor Beast Stage, a few will suffice, but absorbing them would invite more attention. Ah, looks like another trip to the sealed lightning space would be necessary…'

Davis was in his own thoughts while Mo Mingzhi pinched his arm.

"Don't ignore me…!"

"Quite the needy woman you are…"

Davis turned to look at her and smiled, "Shall I give you more attention in front of Schleya?"

"Don't you dare…"

Mo Mingzhi blushed as she raised her palm but instantly changed her movements as she grabbed his shoulders and placed a kiss on his cheek before retreating, escaping with Schleya on her back.

"Hehehe~" A playful laugh echoed as Mo Mingzhi turned the corner.

Davis shook his head, content to see at least someone be back to her old self. He smiled as he took a step forward, but with her flying speed, Mo Mingzhi was soon back after locking her up in a nearby room, wrapping her arms around him like a cat taking ownership of its master.

"I'm glad…"

Mo Mingzhi gently uttered, "I'm glad you're alive, even agreeing to one of my selfish requests. This is why I love you so much, because you do not lose yourself to madness and made things right, including safeguarding the little me from harm."

"Fortunately, Isabella and Nadia were there to protect you all." Davis couldn't help but lightly chuckle, "Otherwise, me becoming mad is the last thing you should be bothered about."

"Fair enough…" Mo Mingzhi deeply smiled before her expression faded.

"Do you still remember the words you said on that day?" Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net

Davis pursed his lips as he felt a bit shameful, "I do. I'm sorry that I was unable to fulfill the wo-"

"No, it's not that." Mo Mingzhi quickly stopped him, her cheeks appearing to be blushing a little, "Do you still love me?"

"Of course I do. Would I have come for you if I did not love you?"

"Well, you said you looked at me like I was your younger sister, so of course you will regardless…!"

Davis's brows couldn't help but twitch. He had no comeback to that one.

Nevertheless, Mo Mingzhi appeared as if she was pleased with his answer as she kept smiling and humming.

Soon, they both reached the hall, and the atmosphere was full of clamor as a horde of people surrounded Shirley.

Suddenly, a person noticed them and screamed.

"Big brother!"

It was none other than Tia Alstreim who noticed him.

Everyone became silent as they turned to look at them, appearing stunned and greatly shook.

Davis saw his entire family bothering Shirley with their intensity that he couldn't help but feel different. On the other hand, Mo Mingzhi was stunned as she turned to look at Davis after hearing a few of their speeches.

"You have become a father…?"

"Indeed, I…"

"Davis…!"

A person's figure quickly suddenly flashed in the distance and appeared in front of Davis, their arms embracing him while their body deeply shuddered.

"Thank goodness… Thank goodness… You're alive… You're fine and healthy as they said…"

"Mother…"

Davis uttered as he caressed his mother's head that rested on his shoulder. She cried heavily and held him tightly as if she would never let him go. Even though the number of people who cried in his arms was already many, his emotions were not becoming indifferent as he activated his Heart Intent and took the full brunt of their longing emotions to understand them and their sufferings.

With this, he could imagine what and all they went through after mistaking that they lost him. Their emotions were overwhelming enough to make him cry, but he kept his face gentle, trying not to show any frailty in his state of mind. Right now, he had to become their pillar and regain their confidence in him once again that he thought they had more or less lost.

"Davis, forgive your father for being useless…"

Logan appeared beside him and lowered his head.

"What are you saying, father?" Davis's voice became sharp as he reached out a hand and grasped his father's shoulder, "That's not how it works, at least not in our life…"

Davis knew that in the derailed fate, Logan could match him in talent and strength as it should be biologically. However, he now possessed Fallen Heaven, who considerably changed the trajectory of his life, so how can he expect his father to protect him? If he did so, then there is no one foolish than him in this place.

"Indeed, you're destined to achieve greater heights, my son. However, as a father, I am still terrible for not being able to protect you…"

Davis's eyes couldn't help but tear up as he sensed his father's wavering emotions. It was rare for his father to show this much weakness.

"It doesn't mean that you're weak, father. It just means that your son surpassed you, something every father would wish their male offspring to do so. It's just, I've done it way sooner than expected."

Logan's eyes widened before he nodded his head, a smile of relief finally appearing in his face as he reached out his hand and grasped Davis's shoulder.

"You're right…"

The others couldn't help but tear up at their reunion as they possessed huge smiles on their faces.

"If we have a son, do you expect him to surpass you?"

Shirley suddenly raised a question, causing everyone's ears to perk up while Davis looked at her with a deep smile on his face.

"No. How can I expect my son to surpass me when I remain the strongest?"

"Ahahaha!"

Davis shrugged while everyone became amused by his answer that they burst out laughing while shedding tears at the same time.

Indeed, as long as he possessed Fallen Heaven, Davis believed that no one could surpass him in terms of potential. However, the risk was also equally fatal.

Davis and Shirley intently gazed at each other as though they only had eyes for each other at this particular moment. He knew that this lass practically brought joy to the atmosphere. Not only did she brighten the atmosphere by making a joke, but she also carried their baby in her womb, making her glow amidst the bevy of beauties.

Nevertheless, looking at them all remain alive and seem stronger than before, Davis heaved a sigh of relief as he inwardly thanked Isabella and Nadia again, glancing at Isabella with praise in his eyes.

The derailed fate's Logan and Claire met a miserable end, but since he changed their destiny of death, their fates were all shaped by his actions and responsibly; their lives were also in his care, and that went the same for his entire family.

He couldn't help but laugh inwardly, wondering if he had any choice to move freely, and he did but then shook his head, knowing that with great power comes great responsibility, as the famous saying goes. That was one of his favorite quotes, but even if it didn't exist, it didn't matter to him as he never felt like abandoning his family for a single moment.
