Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Ivy Aries saw that it was a spatial ring on Natalya's hand. Her expression had frozen while her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be…?

Natalya came forward and presented it to Ivy Aries by holding it with both her hands, looking respectful and secretive.

"Don't show this to anyone. There's a letter inside, so view it in secrecy." Natalya's tone was solemn, "As long as you are of the same mind, my husband promises to-."

"Hehe~ Am I being coveted by the Emperor of Death? I'm quite honored."

Ivy Aries originally thought it had been a gift, but it seemed like it was a marriage proposal sent in the form of a letter. She took it from Natalya's hand as a form of giving face. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

On the other hand, Natalya was taken aback, not knowing what to say before her lips moved.

"Well, not exactly, but-"

Ivy Aries instantly shook her head.

"Actually, I envy you for your ability to obtain resources just by uttering a simple request to your man. Which woman wouldn't wish for such a man? However, I have my own conviction. I would not follow anyone for their resources as I can obtain those myself. As for my future companion, when the time comes, my heart will tell. It doesn't matter if he has no women beside him or has many women beside him. As long as I want him, he wouldn't be leaving me alone."

Once Ivy Aries finished, she clasped her hands in respect, turned around, and left.

Natalya became dumbfounded as she saw Ivy Aries's leaving figure.

Ivy Aries said that women who seduce were trash, but now she said that as long as she wanted a man, he wouldn't be able to leave her alone?

How was this any different from seducing?

Wasn't this contradictory?

Natalya shook her head.

As a person who pursued the cultivation path of yin, she understood that yang forces and subdues while yin seduces and placates. That's why she was able to deflect and send almost anything flying back because she managed to placate their energies, making them calm before sending them back. The theory constituted the same reason why Ivy Aries could not absorb her yin fusion energy because her yin sought to placate while her ice sought to destroy.

With two energies working together with a deep, intricate connection, Ivy Aries quickly met with backlash. Her devouring water lotus was not able to overpower her yin fusion energy and, therefore, failed to devour it.

'Oh no… she thinks husband wants her. She might not view that letter if that's the case…!'

Natalya realized a few seconds later, wanting to warn Ivy Aries, but then she was far away already as though she didn't want to be burdened anymore. However, the panic quickly disappeared as it came.

'Well, whatever… husband could only care a bit out of the kindness in his heart. There is a limit to how patient and kind one can be. If Ivy Aries takes the cue, she will survive and perhaps save her Jade Lotus Valley. If not, no one can blame my husband for being ruthless.'

Natalya inwardly snorted and left.

She felt that if it weren't for Davis's kindness, the Jade Lotus Valley would undoubtedly die or take a huge loss when he confronts the Emperor Sword Sect's Shard Family. In her eyes, it was his grace that gave them a chance to live. After all, what kind of rising, no, established hegemon would be bothering about the safety of others when their intent was to purely dominate the lands and take vengeance for their past grievances?

Kindness was good, but it wasn't good to come at the cost of one's safety, and that's why she was also agreeable to the saying that a blood debt should be repaid with blood.

She wasn't erudite but at least knew the ways of the cultivation world.

The two of them returned separately, causing the Jade Lotus Valley's higher-ups to feel doubtful.

However, Ivy Aries didn't say anything except that she had gained insights and was going to make certain improvements to her technique, heading towards a resting room.

Once she entered and confirmed that there was no one there, she relaxed and sat down on a chair, her expression blossoming into a wide smile.

Contrary to what Natalya thought, Ivy Aries held the spatial ring with pride visible on her face. Being courted by the youngest and most powerful expert on the continent was also a sign of acknowledgment, making her feel immensely prideful of her beauty and body that possesses a unique physique.

She felt strange she hadn't received any marriage proposals yet, even after revealing her unique physique. But reality proved that she was right. She had always thought which man wouldn't crave her, and it seems that she was only right in thinking so.

Even the Emperor of Death wanted her, so which man wouldn't? It was probably those hateful Emperor Sword Sect miscreants who blocked the way to the Jade Lotus Valley's disciples.

Ivy Aries reveled in this feeling for a while before she looked at the spatial ring, checking if it was tampered with to harm her or something before she confirmed that there wasn't anything to be worried about.

'Well, I can only hope that I don't offend the Emperor of Death with my rejection.'

To tell the truth, she was immensely curious as to what was written inside.

In Ivy Aries's mind, just accepting that spatial ring was already giving Natalya face. As for the contents inside, she didn't know nor did she bother to ask but assumed it was a marriage proposal since Natalya said it was a letter. Only after Ivy Aries giggled about it did Natalya realize that Ivy Aries thought the content could be a marriage proposal, so Natalya wasn't able to inform her.

Having already bound the spatial ring as she thought of the intricacies, she was about to check the contents, but her hand trembled.

'Oh my… I'm nervous… Ivy, your heart can't be shaken like this...'

She once again took a deep breath, calming herself down.

When she sent her soul sense into the spatial ring, her expression froze. There was a letter, but that wasn't what garnered her attention but a pendant that possessed the same shape and aura as hers.

'How can this be…!?'

She shot up in shock before hurriedly taking out the pendant and investigating it. Once she checked that there was no difference, her brain couldn't help but tremble.

Quickly, she took out the letter as well.

She opened it and saw a blank page but then noticed that it was hidden with soul force. She used her own soul force and read it, but her expression changed, and as time went on, it only became more solemn, losing the previous romantic curiosity.

After some time, she touched the pendant that was on her neck with a complex expression on her face as tears emerged on her limpid eyes.

"Ancestor Aries, it seems that your stories were true. The Shard Family really killed your husband as they gained control over more than half the Emperor Sword Sect. It was not those traitorous grand elders of the Emperor Sword Sect who tried to usurp our Jade Lotus Valley, but they were merely the Shard Family's lies."

Ivy Aries's lips quivered as she spoke to herself, her lips quivering. It took her a while to bring back her calm as she stayed like that for half a minute.

"I finally understand what I must do. If I don't obtain vengeance and clean the Jade Lotus Valley of vermin, I, Ivy Aries, am not a Woller!"

Her green eyes shone with determination as they turned azure, the heaven and earth energy around her being crazily devoured as her energy was being replenished at an unprecedented rate, faster than popping an essence energy restorative pill in her mouth.

Her heart gradually calmed as she saw that she could no longer read the letter. The letters etched with soul force had vanished. Undoubtedly, it was the Emperor of Death's soul force. She felt that only he could be so skillful with the soul other than the Soul Palace's Soul Cultivators.

Nonetheless, she felt gratitude towards him. So this letter was sent to see her stance. She guessed that they saw her pendant during her battle with Natalya and made the connection to Garvin Woller, whom her family's ancestor, a deacon at that time but now an Elder of the Jade Lotus Valley, was married to. She really couldn't help but feel that fate was a strange thing.

To think that Garvin Woller's disciple on his deathbed was the Emperor of Death… she couldn't help but feel strange.

Her expression suddenly froze before it started to panic, her expression twitching as her cheeks blushed.

'Did I just brag to Natalya that her husband coveted me…?'

Her trembling increased in intensity, her nerves becoming taut. Only then did she remember Natalya trying to explain, but she cut her off, took the spatial ring, offered some opinion tactfully that bordered on rejection, and left.

She couldn't help but feel her face heating up.

How could she face Natalya in the future?

Thinking about how oblivious she acted, she lowered her head, wanting to go find a hole and bury herself.
