Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 1487 - Feeling Depressed

"However, if we want to try, I’m willing to do it after the marriage of Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow. I’ve already told them to delay their marriage by almost two long years, so I feel that if we take on this Soul Emperor and fail to execute him, it would be a massive headache as he might strike during the marriage."

Davis frowned a bit while pondering before he nodded.

"We let that idiot seclude himself for a longer time and strike after things turn normal. Right now, we would be having plenty of powerhouses visiting the Alstreim Family and the Falling Snow Sect demanding answers as if Ancestor Tirea Snow owes them something."

Isabella bit her lips as she felt irritated.

Those unreasonable people made her feel angry, while the matter about Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross made her feel vexed.

She thought of setting up newly gained formations from the inheritance that can kill the shit out of a few Soul Emperors but setting it up would require skill and knowledge on Emperor Grade Formations, which she had no idea of, not to mention that Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross would easily notice formations being set up in his vicinity. Unlike the easy-to-use portable formations like the basic types of Energy Gathering Formation, Defense Formation, Concealment Formation, Killing Formation, these formations require skill and knowledge to set up.

Such formations would usually have unique names. She had many but would be unable to use them on the Soul Emperor unless they baited him to their location. The source of this content is NoᴠelFɪre.net

As Davis said, the matter they were going to do required complexity, so trying to execute a High-Level Emperor Soul Stage Powerhouse with unknown means while many powerhouses were going to descend on them was a fool’s quest, especially when she hadn’t gained a lot of experience battling with her current cultivation but also battling Soul Emperors.

Their unknown means would most probably catch her off-guard!

"I apologize. I uttered without thinking a lot..."

Isabella’s expression became understanding as she proudly looked at Davis.

This was the man who protected her with his ability to reflect on matters she couldn’t see and was able to see many steps ahead. She mused that if she were alone, even if she did not meet a tragic fate, the road ahead would’ve been filled with so many thorns.

Davis wryly smiled.

"It’s fine, though, because even if you fail, I can still kill him by using a secret technique that sacrifices my soul essence, although it might leave me in a coma for a few dozen days or a few months. I’m not sure for how long, and there may even be a chanc-"

"Don’t even think about it!"

Isabella’s voice became freezing as she captured his wrists, "I can’t have you dying or even fainting while I’m with you. It’s fine if we wait because it’s not like that Soul Emperor will attack soon. Maybe we can chase him away by informing the Soul Palace, but unquestionably not use your secret technique to kill him if it’s going to weaken you."

"That’s what I thought too..." Davis still kept his wry smile, "But there’s a slight problem with tipping the Soul Palace about Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross’s hideout because apparently, Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow are aware of his hideout as well."

"What!?"

"... It’s because they also signed the same Blood Soul Contracts, blinded between greed and wanting to live as Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross already overpowered them"

Davis explained to Isabella’s shock, making her calm down before he smilingly shook his head.

"Therefore, if we leak the information to Soul Palace and if they ever let him escape again, the ones who are going to be harmed are none other than Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow."

Isabella’s expression became exasperated.

Trying to protect people while killing a solo Soul Emperor who had no people to care about wasn’t easy!

Davis had taken his thoughts further and even thought of using Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky to ambush Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross. However, knowing that this bomber’s prowess was limited in killing a High-Level Emperor Grade Soul Emperor, he didn’t count on it. The gap between levels in the Ninth Stage is something he wouldn’t underestimate.

"That’s why," Davis continued after a short pause, "Instead of intentionally leaking the information to the Soul Palace, it is better that we take him down ourselves. This way, we also get to gain his valuable loot that’s quite necessary for my growth, so I think that it is better to wait until their marriage ends."

"True..." Isabella gently smiled, "I’ll follow your words, husband."

Davis nodded while reaching out his hand, holding her cheeks as he felt rather fulfilled. A powerful wife was willing to listen to him, making him feel fortunate, while her beauty also made him feel like he had everything in this world.

"You’re so beautiful, Isabella..."

Isabella blushed a bit as she kept her smile, "Complimenting me won’t get you anywhere."

"What should I get when I’ve already taken everything you have to offer?"

"Hehe~"

However, it suddenly turned a bit sorrowful which she quickly hid, but Davis didn’t fail to notice.

"Isabella, it’s fine if we don’t have a child now. In fact, even the others agreed that it is better to have children when we become Immortals."

"You already said that... It’s just..." Isabella’s smile turned wry, "They all took pills to not become conceived. On the other hand, I didn’t. I’m disappointed in myself that even after all that time we shared, I didn’t conceive your child."

Davis embraced her, feeling her tremble that he couldn’t help but want to console her worries. Truthfully, they already had this conversation a month after their marriage. But then, she was still hopeful.

Evelynn was also surprisingly okay with Isabella bearing their first child, citing the reason that she helped Davis become powerful more than anyone and that she had a natural right to precede her. Isabella didn’t mean to take that spot from her, but she was extremely disappointed in herself that she hadn’t become pregnant with his child even after all those nights.

It made her feel afraid.

Would she even become pregnant if she reached the Immortal Stage? Her current experience made her feel like the chances were just too low after entering the Immortal Stage!

It didn’t mean that she wasn’t fertile.

Instead, she was incredibly fertile, more fertile than any fertile mortal or other women of similar cultivation as her vitality was huge. In one menstrual cycle, she produced more fertilized eggs than any mortal woman could produce.

The chances of her conceiving were low due to her dragon blood. His seed would enter one of her fertilized ova every time, but it would fail to assimilate and conceive each time, leading her to a state of depression whenever she thought about this matter. At this time, when he told her that he got everything that she had to offer, she inevitably recalled that she still got something to offer, their child.

That’s why she became emotional.

Nevertheless, even Evelynn, who occasionally didn’t take a pill after letting Davis know, also didn’t get pregnant due to similar reasons. Not only was their Body Tempering Cultivation a hindrance, but the dragon blood within them was also heavily impeding their ability to conceive despite their fertility.

It gave the two ladies unnecessary headaches, and if it wasn’t for the fact that they were planning to have children only after reaching the Immortal Stage, it would’ve hurt more.

Davis didn’t say anything and just kept on holding her dearly. A few moments later, he could feel that her trembling had stopped. When he separated from her, she had that lovable smile on her face.

"Thank you~"

"Let’s go back."

Isabella nodded, and they left, riding on Nadia till they arrived at the site of the spatial gate leading to the Grand Sea Continent. They surveyed with their senses that Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross wasn’t monitoring them before they nodded their heads and left towards the Alstreim Family.

They didn’t go through Tripartite Alliance Territory’s Territory Gate that led to the Alstreim Family but went through the Towering Cloud Hall Territory, Thousand Pill Palace Territory, Poison Lord Villa Territory, and then the Alstreim Family Territory. When they reached the Poison Lord Villa, they punched a steep hole into the dark fog while concealed and entered the Alstreim Family Territory instead of entering it through the Territory Gate.

They crossed the huge Grand Alstreim Ocean, but considering their over-the-top speed due to their cultivations, they quickly yet stealthily arrived as if they had never left in the first place.

He had only Isabella come with him because he didn’t want to needlessly endanger the others, thinking that he could bring them during the Ancestors’ wedding and not in these days where powerhouses would swarm to demand answers that they had no business knowing in the first place.

Soon, Isabella went back to the Purple Guest Palace, seemingly resuming her ’closed-door’ cultivation while Davis went towards the Ancestral Hall.

When he entered, he saw that both of the Ancestors were present, seemingly having their eyes light up when they saw him enter.

"Ah, Davis! Perfect timing. We were just about to call you." Ancestor Dian Alstreim smiled widely.

Davis blinked.

"For what?"
