Chapter 2266 Warm Welcome
Davis blinked a moment later, wondering why she kept putting up a wall like that even after what they went through together, although it wasn't like he couldn't understand.
He nodded at the empty air before he also left together with Yotan, returning to the Alstreim Family.
First things first, he was deathly exhausted and wanted to sleep so much more than ever before but looking at his lovers' anxious expressions turn joyful, he got a kick out of the last spurt of stamina hidden in his soul.
Evelynn strode forward to hug him, taking a deep breath as she released it as though a huge burden had just been lifted off her shoulders. Even after the Calamity Light disappeared, although they cheered, they didn't stop feeling worried until he returned.
She stood by him, finally feeling that he was back home safely.
"We cleared the Nine Western Territories and the near north and south of stray Immortal Vacuous Beasts." Isabella also arrived beside him.
"Indeed." Shirley grinned, "It's unlikely for any of them to have survived your and our onslaught even after we scoured the land, skies, and seas while releasing our undulations."
Davis thought that their actions were dangerous but his expression couldn't help but turn joyous.
"Excellent. As expected of my wives, unafraid of some dumb beasts...!"
Isabella and Shirley deeply smiled, although their hearts were screaming on hearing his praise. They were well aware that he had just killed thousands of these Immortal Vacuous Beasts and saved the Fifty-Two Territories, causing them to deeply respect him, their eyes churning with love.
The others also had seen him through the projections cast by the All-Seeing Emperor, so it could be said that they were head over heels for him at the moment.
"I- I'll also grow stronger enough to be praised."
Natalya raised her voice with a cute expression on her face, shaking her arms around like a kid before her expression turned solemn.
"But husband, can we know what happened to Iesha's home? She's worried sick."
"Bylai too!" Zestria pointed, causing Bylai to shake as though she had done something wrong.
Tanya and Dalila knew the Falling Snow Sect and Thousand Pill Palace were safe and sound.
On the other hand, Davis didn't expect his women to keep Everlight's presence a surprise, or perhaps, they just didn't want to disturb him with that information while he hunting down Immortal Vacuous Beasts.
"Why are you here?"
Davis narrowed his eyes and asked, causing Everlight to take a deep breath as she knelt in front of everyone.
"I, Everlight, on behalf of my ancestor and Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, have arrived to become yours, Emperor of Death."
Her melodious voice resounded with determination but it didn't cause Davis to change his expression, still appearing to be full of scrutiny. Freewebnᴏvel.com
"So I take it that your ancestor, that Light Sky Wolf Immortal left the Fifty-Two Territories?"
"Yes, taking all the Light Sky Wolves and the eleven Guardians with her as a last resort of survival except me."
"Why were you abandoned? To be sent as a sacrifice to me?"
"No...!"
Everlight's eyes widened before her expression turned rather awkward, her face appearing as though she had overstepped her bounds.
"I mean. I volunteered to remain despite my ancestor's insistence and make the deal between our powers successful even if it meant my death halfway but now that I'm here, I am well aware and accept that my fate rest in your hands, Emperor of Death."
Now, even Davis couldn't maintain his cold gaze anymore, his gaze softening a bit. He walked towards her and knelt to her level, looking into her eyes, causing Everlight to become stiff.
"You're lying..."
"Wha- No, I'm not lying-"
"You know that I won't do anything harmful to you, don't you?" Davis smiled, capturing her shoulder as he made her stand up and patted her.
"You're no longer my subordinate, so don't kneel. In the meantime, make yourself at home."
Davis walked past her, leaving to his chambers while leaving a dumbstruck Everlight.
As for the other ladies, they had gossiping smiles on their faces, knowing what kind of deal Davis struck with the Light Sky Wolf Immortal as they had been informed. They truly didn't think that there would be an arranged marriage with a magical beast in their lifetime, leaving them a bit stunned!
