Divine Emperor of Death

Davis's eyes shot open as he found himself in a wooden room. His sapphire eyes shone with a dark hue as he let his death-like energy flow around him. Abruptly, the sheet, pillow, and mattress below him, along with the wooden bed, began to wither like they were a frail material, except they were part of the wooden house's King Grade wood.

Davis stopped using it as suddenly a pure white light erupted around him, causing the withering bed to become still before it began to regrow as if its cells were being reconstructed.

He didn't bother with what the sheet, mattress, or pillow was made of, but the fact that it regrew must mean that they are a part of plant cells as well.

It healed at a faster rate than it withered, but Davis knew that it was because he was using Fallen Heaven's white tendrils to use the life-like energy instead of his own comprehension like he had used the death-like energy.

'Mhmm... Possibly, I will never be able to catch up to Fallen Heaven in terms of prowess...'

Davis pursed his lips as he did a reality check, and the result was disappointing.

'Perhaps, I may catch up to it when my soul reaches the Emperor Soul Stage...?'

He let out a deep breath before he stood up, hovering out of the bed before he landed on the surface, opening the door as he moved out.

At the same time, with the help of his seamless soul force, he dismantled the formations he placed around for concealment before he took them back into his spatial ring.

He took a look around and saw that Nadia wasn't here. At the same time, he extended his soul sense, getting to know that Sophie was normally cultivating while Nadia was hunting a few magical sea-beasts in the sea.

'Should I say... fishing?' Davis became a bit confused as he saw that her attacks were like hooks, piercing into the prey before she pulled them out of the sea, killing them in one blow!

All of them were Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Sea-Beast, enough to fill in her stomach for a while as it provided her energy. And... she was eating them raw as blood splashed while her jaws closed, her fangs sinking into their flesh.

The only saving grace was that she was in her magical beast form. Otherwise, Davis would have seen a gruesome scene like the last time, although he was fine with it as 'food' was food. It didn't matter to him how someone ate as there were all sorts of cultures in his previous world itself.

Especially, he wasn't going to be picky about how a magical beast ate.

He strode to Sophie's door and knocked on it a few times before coming back to be seated on the couch, chilling out as he stretched, his breakthrough in Soul Forging Cultivation making him feel refreshed.

Sophie's door opened as she walked out, her head turning to look at him. She matched her gaze with him for a while before she lowered her head.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Alch-" Sophie paused before she shyly smiled, "Davis..."

"Oh?" Davis eye's flashed with a peculiar light as he became amused, "You know I broke through? Then tell me in which one of the three cultivation systems I had a breakthrough in?"

Sophie became taken aback, her expression turning red. How was she supposed to know when her cultivation was low?

Even she, she tried to guess, "Is it Essence Gathering Cultivation?"

"Haha, wrong..." Davis chuckled, "As a punishment, come and sit here..."

He patted his lap with a deep smile on his face.

Sophie's expression turned crimson with shyness. She knew this was coming when he came out of his room, but these three weeks buffer didn't help at all, considering that they had not met each other or even had a simple conversation during this time!

Now when he said for her to be seated on his lap, the hurdle was too much for her.

Sophie recalled how she already shared deep kisses with him as she encouraged herself. She pursed her lips and walked towards him before stood before him, becoming a bit stiff.

"What's wrong? Do you mind?" Davis still kept a smile.

Sophie's body trembled as she adorably closed her eyes as she just sat on him swiftly. Her actions were as if she wanted to say that she didn't mind. However, her expression and hue revealed that she was on the epitome of modesty as she trembled with embarrassment.

Davis felt her soft butt on his lap before he swiftly wrapped his arms around her waist, not giving her a chance to escape. Sophie trembled even more as she felt his solid arms intimately wrap around her before pulling himself closer to her as he breathed over her nape. Her maiden heart began to rapidly beat in anticipation over would happen next!

Davis smelt her scent, her fragrance that made him feel as if he was sedated was alluring, causing his mind to have extremely lewd thoughts.

'Mhm...? Did she bathe?'

Considering that she should be cultivating her body according to his instructions, it wouldn't be suspicious if she smelled bad, but since she didn't, he could only think that she took a bath.

Davis smiled as he tightened his hold on her, his arms lightly sinking into her soft skin. He moved his head aside and his chin reaching to the left side of her neck, whispering into her ear.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough to the Gold Stage, Sophie..."

Sophie's felt her heart skip a beat. It was not those words, but how close he said it caught her off guard. Even her ears began to turn red as she felt ticklish, feeling fidgety all over her body.

"Mhmm..." She felt content and bashful, "I reached Low-Level Gold Stage from High-Level Silver Stage, thanks to you..."

"Excellent... but don't cultivate your body anymore and concentrate on building your foundation..."

"Mhm... I will..." Sophie felt her heart warm, but...

Why wasn't he doing anything other than holding her dear? She felt a bit foolish for being over expectant.

"Ah!~~~"

An alluring moan escaped her mouth as she felt his lips grab her left earlobe.

Sophie's expression experienced a massive change as her eyes were wide with confusion and curiosity. She was caught off-guard but was what was he doing?

However, her confusion just lingered for a moment before it disappeared as a pleasurable feeling became apparent, the slimy motion of his lips becoming incredibly intoxicating as soon as it began caressing her earlobe.

*Mhm~*

Her lips trembled as she kept letting out a low moan with his caress.

She didn't know what to say as she felt incredibly ashamed but this pleasure... It made her feel good. Soon, the pleasure she experienced for the first time made her body limp as she simply lay her back over him, letting her earlobe be caressed however he wanted as she was locked in position by him.

Davis let go of Sophie after letting her experience his tongue caress for a full minute. He saw her expression and saw that her breathing was a bit erratic. It was nowhere near to get her turned on, but it wasn't his intent either.

Sophie felt abnormally warm over her left ear once she was let go of. It made her feel a bit dizzy and felt a little disappointed that he let go because it was the first time she felt something like this and wanted to feel more. It was addicting and wholesome to be caressed and held like that by him for her.

This is what she wished for, after all.

Davis smiled in content as he whispered, "Sophie, how was it...?"

"Eh...!?" Sophie didn't know what to say, "... Good..."

She forgot her vocabulary at this point, her cheeks becoming crimson in embarrassment. However, her expression changed.

"I see... Then, do you feel it?" He whispered as he slightly separated his thighs.

Sophie had her eyes wide in shock as she felt a solid thing poking her from underneath.

'I-It... It's big...' She lightly trembled, knowing that it was his 'thing' that was poking her. Even with clothes, she could feel his warmth, making her have a feel of the unknown.

"Sophie... I want to make you mine right now..."

Sophie felt her head spin as she felt dizzy from these whispers of his... The effect was just too strong for her innocence that she felt like she could almost melt in his embrace.

Davis reached out to her chin with his left hand and turned her head towards him, their eyes meeting while Sophie's heart skipped a beat, anticipating a kiss.

"However, now is not the time..." Davis expressed his intent while Sophie became a bit astounded.

'What...?'

'Then why...?'

She couldn't help but a little flabbergasted that her confusion reflected on her face.

"I want you to know that I still like you and want you. After all, if I don't touch you after something like that happened between us, I don't want you misunderstanding that I don't like you. It is just that I have far more pressing things to do, such as... become strong enough to not be hunted down by the great assassination organization of the Nine Western Territories."

Davis gave a lengthy explanation while having a wry smile.

"They had even infiltrated the Grand Alstreim City to kill me..."

Sophie's expression changed as she was unaware of such a disturbance taking place in her Grand Alstreim City. She became alarmed, finally knowing why Davis came here to train. Even if there were pursuers, it would be difficult to find him here with lightning bolts from the skies capable of destroying their soul senses!
