Chapter 1684 - Mysterious Human
"Where’s your answer?"
Davis raised his hand as death energy surged out of his palm.
Iesha was aghast as she saw her imperial father going to be impaled by a long spear made out of the ominous greyish-black energy. She thought of stopping Davis, but at this moment, even she didn’t know what kind of person he turned into as he radiated both warmth and an ominous aura that struck her heart into the stillness that she couldn’t almost breathe heaven and energy.
It all happened so fast while her lips were quivering, wanting to say something but couldn’t.
"I... I..."
.
The Frigid World Spirit Emperor was also in a similar state of fright, although he could still talk.
"Iesha has managed... to avert a... disaster?"
He uttered, feeling his icy face burn with humiliation.
"Seems like I’m still not a disaster?"
Davis’s brows furrowed, his expression appearing to be offended.
*Whizz!~*
The deathly glowing spear surged with even more power.
"You are...! You are a disaster! My daughter Iesha saved her Empire from a disaster!"
Taking the cue, Frigid World Spirit Emperor screamed with all his strength while Davis felt reminded of what he did to Iesha above the Frigid Yin Spirit Pool. Still, the Frigid World Spirit Emperor’s expression turned crimson, and his humiliation was far more visible than what one would be able to see in a normal human because of his icy-white skin.
Davis smirked before he clenched his fist.
The Frigid World Spirit Emperor and Iesha’s hearts fell as they saw the ominous spear tremble as if it was going to strike when it abruptly dispersed, causing their eyes to go wide.
"Emperor!"
"....!"
The Frigid World Spirit Emperor turned to look around as he forcefully ordered.
"Stay back!"
Once the Spirit Ancestors heard his firm voice, they stopped, their icy faces crisp with attention to their Emperor’s health. To save their Emperor, they were ready to give up their life, but on the other hand, the single black-robed spirit from the Seeker Spirit Empire kept his distance as he wanted to no part of this.
Clearly, this human definitely didn’t belong to the Renegade Human Shelter, although his powers said otherwise or made him say otherwise!
The Frigid World Spirit Emperor returned his gaze to Davis as he stared, not uttering a word.
"Don’t view me with such a sharp gaze." Davis couldn’t help but smirk, "The battle has already ended. Isn’t that right, Iesha?"
"...? Uh? Ah, yes...!" Iesha realized, "Father, please... stop this nonsense and retract your powers. You have lost this battle."
The Frigid World Spirit Emperor’s lips twitched as if he received an attack even more terrifying than Davis’s as he heard his daughter’s words. He closed his eyes, feeling the humiliation seep in before he retracted his Spirit Sigil and Spirit Domain.
The icy crown on his head stopped glowing, and the icy dome that stretched hundreds of kilometers also began to shatter as they precipitated into thin air.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
Davis waved his hand, and the death energy encasing Frigid World Spirit Emperor dispersed, leaving him free.
Davis asked, but it was not towards Pia but Iesha.
"I..."
Iesha didn’t know what to say to this person who ultimately saved her from the problem he created, and she inflated, knowing that without his mercy, none of them would have survived if he intended to kill them and leave with his strong concealment prowess.
"Your kindness is precious but don’t be naive. Not everyone is like me. You were just lucky that I have a soft spot for women of pure heart, but even then, I have my limits. This woman broke her words, and I will see to that she works as a slave for me."
Davis was no longer resistant to the idea of having slaves.
At this point, he had powerful slaves like Yotan and Elusivemist, although he did consider eventually releasing Yotan from enslavement as long as he reached Peak-Level Ninth Stage Cultivation Base.
As for the Blood Thorn of Poison Lord Villa, and other people whom he had previously enslaved, their slave seals all broke with as he confronted a near-death state. But Ancestor Dian Alstreim was smart. He found the people who knew about his heavenly tribulation and enslaved them all again with the help of Ancestor Tirea Snow’s King Soul Stage Cultivation. Apparently, he had already marked those people just in case something like this happened.
That’s why many people are still not aware that he, the Emperor of Death, encountered a heavenly tribulation and survived to tell the tale.
"I understand." Iesha bit her lips, "Please don’t treat her badly."
"Badly?" Davis couldn’t help but shake his head, "That completely depends on the behavior of the slave. If she makes a mistake, she will be punished, and if she tries to betray, she will be killed. On the bright side, if she attains enough achievements, she will earn her freedom back."
Iesha raised her brows before she heaved a sigh.
"Pia, please understand your situation and act accordingly."
Pia Noel didn’t whine nor cry. She had her tears already wiped and stood up as she tremblingly went on one knee.
"Pia greets master."
"At ease."
Davis gave a simple command, but he gazed towards Princess Iesha.
His way of doing things had always been like this: If someone showed him respect, he would reciprocate. If someone wronged him, he would pay it back without fail. If someone treated him well, he might even go out of his way to return their kindness. However, if someone intended to hurt his family, he would most likely torture them to death!
This time around, this ice spirit moved his heart with her understanding and pure heart, although he didn’t approve of her actions that bordered on severe self-harm. If she stayed hostile, he would’ve left her, left from this place already, but she even went as far as to understand him to the best of her ability that he felt bad for harming her in ways he didn’t know were possible.
That’s why he felt the need to return the favor by protecting her for her kind heart, but at this point, he perceived that she had no place to go as she would be prosecuted in her own Empire for taking his hand.
"Alright then, since you’re safe and it is publically known that you saved your empire by acting the way you are, I think I have at least cleared your name."
"Mhmm~"
Iesha nodded, but her expression was different.
"You may or may not be targeted after I leave, so I can’t say if you will be safe."
Iesha appeared taken aback.
Was it time for them to separate?
Davis closely looked at her expression before he spoke again.
"Do you want to come with me if you don’t feel safe? I can provide you a safe space to cultivate. I’m telling you that this dark light above our heads is the real disaster, and I don’t think you’ll survive if you stay here. Your imperial father is abandoning you all by leaving this spirit land anyway."
Princess Iesha gazed at Davis intently with her white pupils. Her lips moved, but no sound came out that she became embarrassed as she lowered her head. However, she reached out her arm and held his hand.
Davis: "..."
Her hand was chill to the touch, but to Iesha, his hand was extremely warm.
"I’ll follow you~"
