Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 288 Evelynn’s Breakthrough

In the Second Layer, Grand Sea Continent, Loret Empire’s Royal Capital.

Inside the Royal Castle, there was a newly built cultivation chamber, specially constructed for the direct royal line.

Once it wasa constructed, the only people who were allowed to use it were Davis, Logan, Claire, Clara, Diana, Edward, and Evelynn.

Currently, there was a figure inside sitting in a lotus position, clad in jade green robes.

Around the figure were ashes containing impurities and a faintly circulating left out energy residue that remained on the skin of the figure.

When the figure opened its eyes, the impurities swayed and disappeared into thin air. The figure then glanced at its hands in astonishment.

Near the edges of the cultivation chamber was another figure clad in imperial red royal robes.

That figure’s facial expression had a tinge of satisfaction and content to it.

"Evelynn, you finally broke through the Body Transformation Stage!"

Evelynn who was glancing at her recovered arm which was in a severed state before the breakthrough turned to look at Claire as her eyes glazed, "Mother..."

She had fullfilled it! She had fulfilled her end of the promise with Davis but the other party was nowhere to be seen in the Grand Sea Continent.

Claire moved forwards, nearing Evelynn in a second to grasp her hands, "You did well..."

Evelynn had achieved a breakthrough to the Body Transformation Stage and used a Low-Level Sky Grade Healing Pill as a supplement to heal her severed arm.

The cells in her body were no longer made of flesh but both flesh and energy. That was why when one broke through the Body Transformation Stage, healing and circulating energy became easier when compared with the lower stages.

Evelynn bit her lips while her expression revealed that she was visibly moved, "I..."

Claire instantly placed a finger on Evelynn’s lips, "How many times have I told you? The resources, these spirit stones you are using were practically earned by your husband, my son. Even if you waste all of them, no one can say anything."

Evelynn’s eyes flashed with affection. She calmed down her emotions and replied, "Thank you, mother..."

"Silly..." Claire let out a harmonious chuckle, "You only used less than a thousand spirit stones, so there’s no need to feel sorry about this..."

"Besides, all this expenditure has helped you realize the first-grade core, so in the long run, this is a worthwhile exchange if you were to ask me!"

Evelynn shook her head, "I only felt that it was unfair that I could obtain spirit stones without producing any achievements..."

"It’s his so it’s yours too..." Claire shrugged with a grin, "Anyway, now that you’ve reached Body Transformation Stage and regenerated your hand, my son will feel excited and happy if he comes to know about it."

"Mhm..." A genuine smile involuntarily lit up on Evelynn’s face.

Suddenly, Claire looked at her spatial ring. She took out a crystal and imbued her energy as she received a message.

"Chief, the last of them has been found by the Emperor, and is currently en route to the Bloodline Chamber."

"I understand, you did well to report, move on to the next objective posted on the intelligence bulletin..."

"Yes! Chief!"

Claire kept the crystal back into the spatial ring, and after doing so, she involuntarily let out a deep sigh.

Evelynn obediently kept her mouth shut because she understood what was going on, so she didn’t dare to let out a word from her mouth.

Claire who sighed heavily opened her mouth, "This makes it the 7th child..."

"How many women did he exactly sleep with?" Claire gnashed her teeth in anger. Her frail yet lithe figure was tremblingly in helplessness.

Evelynn, on the other hand, wasn’t entirely sure of the details behind the veil, but she still replied, "Does this make it 6?"

Claire replied in a deadpan manner, "Well, yes, but that’s only the count who got pregnant with his child... The number of women he actually slept with at least amounts to 17..."

Evelynn turned embarrassed as she promptly shut her mouth.

Claire who looked despondent suddenly glanced at her with her eyes glowing, "Say, Evelynn..."

"Yes?" Looking at her eyes, Evelynn felt something was not right.

"If Davis flirted with another woman, you would never forgive him, right?"

"Eh?" Evelynn was startled but thought, ’Well, yes but no...’

During these few years, she had already prepared herself to tackle all the problems with him in the future by understanding each other.

In any case, she was already determined to be his in her mind, so what was the use of not forgiving him even if he made mistakes?

She had already thought about this a lot and was determined to see it through the end.

"You’ll never forgive him right!?" Claire held Evelynn’s shoulders as she shook them.

Evelynn didn’t know what to suddenly reply but looking at the situation, it seemed better to nod her head for her own safety.

She instantly did what she thought and nodded her head in a heartbeat.

Claire manically grinned, "Then if he slept with another woman, you’ll only want to kill him right?"

Evelynn widened her eyes as she froze.

’Wait! Where is this conversation heading to!?’

She came back to her senses and abruptly blurted with her eyes closed, "I don’t know!"

A few seconds passed but nothing happened. Evelynn slowly opened her eyes to meet Claire’s tear-filled gaze.

"That’s right, you won’t know what to do..." Claire bit her lips in frustration.

"Mother..." Evelynn felt sad for Claire. It’s not like she didn’t know what Claire went through these years.

After Davis left, the only one to take care of her the most was Claire.

Evelynn who never knew a mother’s love for the first time experienced this feeling because from the moment she came into this world, her mother was no more.

So the more she interacted with Claire, the more they instantly bonded like mother and daughter.

At some point, Evelynn gradually started calling Claire as ’Mother’, and Claire also welcomed her with open arms.

Since they were together and close most of the time, they talked about a lot and knew of each other’s interests at the back of their hands.

So Evelynn who never saw Claire grieve after Davis left, was deeply impacted by the scene in front of her.

She hugged Claire with both her arms and whispered in a gentle tone, "It’s fine, no matter what, don’t you still love him?"

Claire’s body trembled for an instant before she moved her body slightly away from Evelynn as she wiped her tears.

She faintly smiled and said, "Look who’s talking! Aren’t you worried that if the father is like this, what else needs to be said about the son?"

*Boom!~*

Evelynn froze! It was as if a fuse went off in her head.

From her stiff expression, it looked like she had not been prepared at all!

Only after uttering those words did Claire realize her foolishness. She only said that to hide her embarrassment but when she saw the expression on Evelynn’s face, she knew it was too late to take back her statement.
