Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 316 A Conjecture

Feeling that the atmosphere went silent, Davis opened his mouth, "I’ve heard it from your father that you were receiving the inheritance during the previous Grand Sea Continent Meet..."

Isabella put a hold to her thoughts and turned to look at him with an inquiring gaze.

Seeing that he had garnered her attention, he uttered a harmless lie, "Your father mentioned me to take care of you if you meet with any dangers in this world, but seeing that you are at a higher stage above mine, seems like there is no need to..."

In truth, Davis didn’t know that Emperor Mark Ruth had wanted him to really protect his daughter, but in the eyes and the words of the old man when he talked about his daughter, he could still see the affection the old man had for his daughter.

Isabella still looked at him with a not so convincing expression on her face.

Davis wryly smiled though he felt that it was understandable since she couldn’t see or confirm the facts he placed on the table with her own eyes.

They didn’t have contact that much before, so he understood that the words he said will just bring on more suspicion.

Understanding so, Davis said, "Worrying won’t help you right now, heading back will... So are you returning with me or?"

"I’m in!" Isabella instantly replied, her face devoid of expression.

"I don’t understand one thing..." She suddenly said.

Davis was taken aback, "What is it?"

"I don’t understand your reason for returning to that barren place... Is it for that another Immortal Inheritance you mentioned?"

Davis suddenly laughed and his lips curved into a grin, "Isn’t it obvious? I’m returning to keep my promise with her, to marry my fiancee..."

Isabella’s facial expression twitched as her eyes slightly widened.

"What, you got a problem with that?" Davis shot an assertive gaze at her.

Isabella suddenly closed her eyes, and a smile spread across her beautiful face as the hostile intent radiating around her had lessened to a great degree.

Opening her eyes, she said, "No..."

She then extended her hands towards the exit and said gracefully, "Please take your leave then... If Miss Fiancee comes to know about our meeting in the night, wouldn’t it be bad?"

Davis froze with a stiff expression on his face. He could see her lips hanging with a playful smile.

Seeing that made him completely annoyed. No one other than his family and friends gets to tease him like that!

"You’re absolutely right, Princess Isabella..." He stood up and walked towards the door.

Before he reached the door, he turned back and said with a petty poker face, "Before marrying her, I will definitely confess to her that I spent a night with Princess Isabella in front of her and everyone at the eve of the marriage. If she still agrees, then I will take her as my wife."

"Then goodnight, Princess Isabella."

"You! Come back here!"

Davis directly left to one of the other rooms, not bothering to turn back.

Isabella stood up, gritting her teeth as she saw his back disappear from her view.

Davis entered an empty room with only a makeshift bed, a table and a few chairs.

He saw the bed and directly sat on top of it, cross-legged.

He looked at the closed door, waited for a few minutes and chuckled back to himself, ’She’s not chasing back, hehe...’

When he heard her trembling voice, he was sure that he had got one back over her.

’Not once or twice, that woman thinks she can tease me whenever she wants, hmph!’ Davis was entirely displeased.

’Who does she think she is?’

That laid back personality he saw for the first time when he met her no longer existed but the tendency to tease was still present.

He shook his head and blinked, regaining his composure as he mocked himself for being childish, "Comparatively, I’m such a kid..."

======

Cultivating for a few minutes, Davis stabilized his cultivation to a small extent.

Figuratively speaking, he felt that his soul force had improved by leaps and bounds. It was mainly because of his perception, which was still at Elder Soul Stage and had not been used to Mature Soul Stage.

He didn’t even get to fine-tune his perception with Isabella’s interruption in that cave but now, exactly a few seconds later, he adjusted his perception to match his cultivation.

Davis opened his eyes and pondered for a moment.

He blinked and asked, "Fallen Heaven, that white light and those threads, I have a conjecture of what those are..."

"You do?! Let me hear it!" Fallen Heaven’s voice echoed with a little bit of excitement.

"Alright..."

Davis arranged his words before speaking, "First, I realized that the dark-like energy that I am familiar with is not probably the real Darkness Law."

There was a tiny bit moment of silence before Fallen Heaven’s voice resounded in his Soul Sea, "Is your head okay?"

"Just listen!" Davis shouted back and continued, "Second, think back to the words that Old Man Garvin uttered about the laws."

"Primary Laws consists of the most basic laws in this universe, while the Greater Laws exist at a higher level, they are even harder to comprehend."

"Yes, I also listened to him and I know a thing or two about Greater Laws myself." Fallen Death replied.

Davis didn’t stop its bragging but just nodded, "While he said that Greater Laws are harder to comprehend, he also said that they were quite a hurdle to their study of laws, meaning, even the strongest powerhouse of this 52 territories does not know much about the Greater Laws."

"Think about it. Old Man Garvin said Greater Laws consist of Thunder (Lightning-Sound), Desire (Illusion-Charm), Storm (Wind-Lightning), Vitality (Water-Wood), Music (Sound-Illusion), Corrosion (Poison-Water), Space, Time, Karma, Yin Fusion, Yang Fusion."

"But he also mentioned that they were not all of them..." Fallen Heaven interrupted.

"True, if higher level exists, then the powers you are displaying must belong to that category."

"..."

"You, exactly what are you?" Davis asked in a feeble yet excited tone, "... It would not be farfetched to say that you’re not just a treasure used for killing..."

Fallen Heaven answered vaguely, "... Maybe..."
