Chapter 3900 A Bandit Hideout?
Davis's eyes shot wide as he couldn't believe he chanced upon Wix Voidfield. Because the rocky and uneven surface of the asteroid blocked the view of the sunken entrance, one of many entrances, he wasn't able to see her, but after he passed by, he was able to see her when he almost passed by that particular asteroid within the cluster.
She was gazing in the direction of the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Minor Realm.
Was she worried for him?
Davis descended towards her with a smile that couldn't be hidden.
"...?"
Rokushi Mirai was confused by the sudden change of direction. She was focusing on seeing through his concealment ability, after all. However, she could also see the purple-robed woman standing near one of the entrances or caves that went into the asteroid.
She wondered why the Divine Emperor of Death was going towards her, thinking if he was going to assassinate her when he suddenly undid the concealment.
"Senior Wix."
It was like the call from the void, making Wix Voidfield shudder ever so lightly before she turned to look towards the side and spotted him.
"Davis..."
Her eyes went wide, unable to believe that he was here.
She could only watch him descend with a petrified gaze before he finally landed in front of her and cupped his hand.
"Wh-What happened? Are you fine?" She was finally able to speak, glancing towards the realm before she glanced back at him again.
She truly couldn't sense if he was him as he had become an Immortal Emperor, his aura and demeanor completely different from the cold or even mad youngster she had seen.
"..."
Davis couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth from her presence, and because she was Stella's mother, he was inclined to be good to her all the more. Now that he found himself before her, Davis suddenly remembered that he hadn't properly talked to her back in the Obsidian Citadel. His thoughts were full of saving his friends that he wasn't able to pay his respects to his mother-in-law.
"I am fine, Senior Wix. I hope I didn't offend you before because I was too blind to see your beauty."
Davis bowed and apologized.
"What are you saying?" Wix Voidfield quickly knew it was him as she smiled and waved her sleeves lightly.
"...!"
Saintess Lunaria shuddered ever so lightly as she gazed at Davis.
Everyone looked at him with wide eyes, while Rokushi Mirai also looked at him with disbelief.
That black-white stone ain't that powerful! But if it is, how come it unleashed such prowess in his hands!?
"Master, this is embarrassing." Reval Heremic rubbed his head, "If he didn't need our help, why did you implore us to rescue him?"
"..."
Saintess Lunaria was at a loss. This wasn't supposed to be how it went in her mind. Even if Davis could kill them, he wouldn't be unscathed, and neither would the surroundings. An entire realm could collapse, so she wanted to avoid that and help him.
"Seniors."
Davis clasped his hands towards them, "I apologize for my rude behavior. I wasn't in my right mind as I had only one goal in mind: to save my friends no matter the cost. Your help was all I needed to change the situation to my advantage. I couldn't have saved my friends by myself, so your help was extremely necessary. I am extremely grateful."
"... I guess so..." Reval Heremic blinked.
Why did this arrogant man suddenly become humble now? Was this another person?
Nonetheless, he agreed with Davis, thinking back to the point where the executioner's blade almost got one head and the other two beheaded. If it weren't for them working together to break the barriers and make it inside, they would not have been able to save the three of them.
"Not bad..."
Jaiyan nodded. He could finally see why his master would go this far. An arrogant and self-serving man wouldn't even reach his master's eyes, much less grab a space in her mind. She would want nothing to do with such a person, but if he was usually this chill and reasonable to talk to, then there was nothing to worry about.
"So why are you standing here for? Go inside to meet your friends." Glacia Frigidveil warmly waved him off.
Davis's heart went heavy.
He wondered if they were fully safe as it was possible they could be poisoned, but considering Saintess Lunaria was with them, he wasn't worried much, knowing that she would save him. However, he still didn't know how he should face them.
Not only had he harmed them, but he caused their lives to go astray. They could no longer live with their families, and it was unknown what kind of treatment their families that were left behind would receive. Exile was probably the most merciful judgment they would get.
"I have a lot of questions to ask, but let's go inside. Your friends are being healed by Shimei."
Saintess Lunaria invited him in.
She turned around and walked back inside, prompting Davis and the others to follow her.
