Divine Emperor of Death

Davis hurriedly stopped his father-in-law from bowing down, "That's no need to worry about that! That goes without saying!"

He felt ashamed as he thought that his father-in-law's aim in calling him alone was to gain some benefits, but didn't think it was for his daughter.

Evan Cauldon looked at him and spoke in a gratified tone, "I am glad you think that way, but love is like a poison. Once you get tired of her, you might one day lock her away in a lonely residence."

Davis turned silent, 'What is this man talking about?' He couldn't understand why was he worried about this in the first place.

"You are meant to be an Emperor one day and whether you wish or not, you will be involuntarily forced to make your own harem. All I ask is at that time, please give her some special attention. That lass didn't even get to meet her mother during this lifetime..."

Davis understood, 'Ah, this man had totally mispredicted my future. After all, I won't become an Emperor.'

He then nodded with a perplexed expression on his face. He didn't want to correct his misunderstanding, nor did he want to spend much time on changing his mind.

"I'm sure that you will understand once you grow up." Looking at his perplexed face, Evan Cauldon said as he smiled lightly.

Davis nodded, just when he tried to go out naturally, the door opened and blue coloured slippers which were embroidered with colourful patterns stepped in, displaying a pale white leg.

Evelynn stood there with a mesmerizing smile on her face. She wore a pure black silky robe that was transparent at certain parts that accentuated her perfectly shaped body. Her wrists were covered with expensive golden coloured bangles and her legs were slightly visible through the intersection of her skirt.

Davis looked at her and froze slightly at her revealing and not so revealing clothes.

The transparent parts of her black silky robe were underneath her neck, her shoulder blade, her wrists and her waist.

He gulped and looked up at her beautiful face.

She had such fair skin, combined with her perfectly sculptured pure black eyes, adorned with lovely eyelashes, small nose and tender lips, she looked like a fallen angel to him.

Her long green hair reached till her waist while she left some bangs covering her forehead.

Davis rubbed his eyes and thought he was looking at another woman for a moment.

'Is this what you call a total image change?' Davis asked himself as he wasn't sure of what to think anymore.

Evan looked at the two of them and laughed in his heart. He silently left, leaving the two of them to be alone.

Davis looked at her and sighed, he moved his gaze away and looked at her again.

He kept repeating this process until Evelynn opened her mouth while giggling happily, "Look at you... So funny."

Davis hid his eyes with his hands and replied as he looked up, "You look absolutely gorgeous!"

Evelynn smiled brightly and got closer to him, "Thank you!"

"It's already late, should we leave?" Davis asked as he grinned.

"Yes!" She replied excitedly, it would be her first adventure and what's more, it was with the person she preferred.

He then extended his hand as he looked at her eyes.

Seeing him extend his hand, Evelynn was momentarily surprised. She then smiled lightly and took his hand.

The moment she took his hand, Davis felt as if his hands were covered by a soft layer of warmness.

He smiled back and led her to the main hall before bidding farewell to her family.

He explained to them that he would be travelling alone with Evelynn during this travel and no guards would be accompanying them.

All of them nodded and accepted because they knew how strong he was. In fact, they were expecting something more to happen during this travel.

The elders were anxious while the young ones were jealous for various reasons.

They stood together when they bid farewell, he was 1.5m tall and she was almost 1.7m tall. There was not much of a difference between their heights, except that she looked a little taller.

Evelynn felt shy while holding his hands, but she kept holding it and didn't let him go. Partly because she felt that their ages were ten years apart, and partly because she felt it to be ridiculous to be this close to him when they haven't even married yet.

They left the mansion while looking forward to the short journey that was near.

...

In the outskirts of the Royal Capital, far away from the northern gates.

In a wide road that headed to the north-west direction, which eventually led to some nearby Kingdom.

"Could it be that we're going to walk all the way to the Ashton Empire," Evelynn asked as she got worried. There was only a little than a month's time left. If they maintained this pace, they would not make it in time.

"Of course not. I'm going to carry you all the way to the Ashton Empire!" Davis replied as he chuckled.

Evelynn smiled and giggled, half believing and half dubious at his words.

"Haha, I'm just kidding. Look there!" Davis said as he pointed above.

Evelynn looked up and narrowed her eyes. The brimming light from the sky blinded her vision. A moment later, she focused and saw a flying silhouette soaring above the sky, through the clouds.

Davis whistled loudly and waved his hands. The flying silhouette suddenly plummeted down at an incredible speed.

Just when it was 20 meters away from crashing onto the ground, it extended its barbed wings and managed to propel itself above and vastly slowed down the fall before it landed on the ground as it kept flapping its wings.

It was 20m long, and its whole body was black and dark blue in colour. Its back was sculpted with razor-sharp spikes and its tail was barbed at the middle and sharp as a knife at the end.

Its forehead had two long golden horns, and its face had razor sharp teeth and a sharp tongue, combined with a small golden horn on its chin, it looked quite majestic.

"The Emperor's Mount!?" Evelynn's eyes shot wide open by the time she managed to validate its appearance.
