Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1542 Gifting The Bride

Davis abruptly widened his eyes at this moment. His face appeared to be confused, wondering what had happened for it to turn out like this.

"What’s wrong? Is the food poisoned or something?"

Evelynn narrowed her eyes as she asked.

Davis came out of his reverie and looked at Evelynn before he panned his gaze around, noticing that his women were waiting for his answer. At this point, they had just begun feasting as they sat with the other Alstreim Family cultivators.

"Nope... This is too good that it caught me by surprise."

"Oh...?" Evelynn smilingly raised her brows as her lazy eyes seductively slanted, "Are you saying that it’s more delicious than what I cook for you...?"

"Of course not, but this recipe makes this meat too succulent. Maybe I can see if I can obtain the recipes from Jaisi Alstreim."

Davis spoke with a straight face while Evelynn couldn’t help but giggle.

"I’m pretty sure that she would give all of them to you if you take her as one of your women..."

"Haha, then that means I can’t obtain those delicious recipes. It’s a pity..."

Davis licked his lips as he took a piece of meat into his mouth and chewed while Evelynn rolled her eyes before she looked around.

Simultaneously, she caught many women looking at Davis. Some matched their gaze with her but most didn’t. It didn’t bother her as much as it did before, but she was doubtful as to why they were drooling at him when it was clear he wouldn’t bother with them.

’Is that how men feel when they see a woman they can’t obtain?’

She wandered into her own world of wondering what is fair and wrong in love.

On the other hand, as Davis swallowed the piece of meat, his expression said that he found it delicious, but his eyes appeared contemplative.

’Strange, the feeling of danger has returned...?’

He wondered with a bit of confusion in his mind because previously, all danger he felt had disappeared but now, it resurfaced.

’However, it isn’t anything alarming but just at the level of a tingle. Nevertheless, did something change for this to happen?’

Davis couldn’t tell much of a change in this Grand Wedding Hall.

No one seemed to appear. His avatar outside, concealed, didn’t notice anything strange as well. He looked at the Dragon Families’ powerhouses and saw that they were enjoying the banquet as well, but silently without making a fuss that it almost appeared suspicious.

’Well, these guys are a few hundred years early from causing me to feel danger...’

He looked around, thinking for a while as his gaze roamed. He looked as if he was checking out the beauties but his thoughts were still on the danger.

’Surely, me or my women revealing Perfect Domains shouldn’t attract danger from the people here because if I feel danger, then its level must at least be at the High-Level of Ninth Stage. I didn’t even feel any when the Blood Pledge Villa chased me, so the danger should be coming from a High-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouse or above.’

Davis took another bite before he felt a headache coming his way.

’Could it be that Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross has exited seclusion or something?’

"Davis, Tanya keeps looking at you. Are you not going to talk to her?"

Davis’s brows twitched as he came out of his reverie.

Even if he stayed silent, suppressing all his lustful desires, these girls would just not stay quiet and dig them up.

"Natalya..." He wryly smiled, "I’m in no position to accept anyone."

"You heard him..."

Natalya spoke as he looked towards the side.

Mo Mingzhi pouted as she kept throwing her frustration at the meat she devoured. She gave Davis a side-eye before she turned away, appearing to sulk.

Was she the same as other women in his heart?

Davis looked at Natalya and Mingzhi. Perhaps, the former helped the latter because she saw her past in her, obsessing over him.

"Mingzhi, can’t you wait for some time...?"

Mo Mingzhi’s eyes went wide on hearing Davis’s voice. She slowly turned around, having the piece of meat held to her agape mouth.

"Are you serious?"

She asked while her face was full of disbelief.

Davis pursed his lips, appearing to have a complicated expression before he shook his head.

"I’ll be honest. Currently, I don’t have many defenses put up against you like before. Even if I don’t like the way it is going, it means your sincerity is working at the very least..."

Mo Mingzhi’s jaw dropped, almost looking as if the piece of meat in her mouth was going to fall. It appeared crass, but it caused the others to laugh.

Her cheeks became a sweet shade of red at this moment as she closed her mouth. She put down the meat she held on the table and appeared reserved as she ran her fingers through the side of her black hair.

"I understand. It must be hard for you to accept that person’s daughter. Don’t worry. Take your time... I can wait. It isn’t anything new for me."

Her voice turned gentle as she lowered her head, looking bashful.

Davis blinked at her reaction.

Did she even once look like she understood anything, just one-sidedly obsessing over him without caring for anyone’s opinion, even his?

Nevertheless, she still appeared beautiful.

Evelynn and Natalya silently giggled over Davis’s confusion. His clueless face left them laughing every time.

The banquet proceeded as planned, seemingly without any problems this time. The talks were full of the perfect domains, and many even congratulated the bride for having reached the King Soul Stage. The other powers who won during the battles didn’t seem much merrier than the ones who took a loss.

Soon, the powers from the Nine Western Territories started to present their gifts.

The Empires belonging to the Alstreim Family Territory also arrived and presented their gifts. However, it wasn’t opened but just kept at a location as gifts kept gathering one by one. The Zeth Empire to the northeast gifted, the Inciria Empire, the Kazire Empire, and finally the Ethren Empire.

Davis saw Alexi Ethren and his two wives, Iona Ethren and Hyacinth Ethren. They handed some gifts as well before he came to have a short talk with Davis, congratulating him for creating two Perfect Domains.

While they conversed, the gifting session was still ongoing, with many other powers who came uninvited placing their gifts on behalf of their powers.

Everyone who gifted had their names and background announced, but the gifts weren’t opened. Those were only reserved for the High-Level Emperor Grade Powers.

Of course, if someone wanted their gift to be announced, they could say something to the announcer, and the announcer would comply, but whether the crowd would be impressed by their gifts or not fell on their heads. That’s why no one without solid confidence in their gifts to awe the crowd would intentionally have the content of the gift announced.

That was like slapping themselves in the face for bringing such a lowly gift for this grand marriage. Especially when its level became extremely high after the number of powerhouses increased and the unbelievable prowess of the Alstreim Family youths became apparent.

After every Low-Level and Mid-Level Emperor Grade Powers gave their presents as they wished a happy married life to Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow, it was now time for the High-Level Emperor Grade Powers, the hegemons, to present their gifts.

The announcer proclaimed for them to present their gifts when the Mystic Ice Sect’s Sect Master Bing Luli stood up. She came with the gift container in hand and presented it straight towards Ancestor Tirea Snow.

"The Mystic Ice Sect congratulates Ancestor Tirea Snow in this marriage."

"Thank you, Sect Master Bing Luli."

Ancestor Tirea Snow opened the gift and saw an icy-blue bead, instantly radiating an extreme chill and an illusionary gleam that tried to conceal it.

"This is...?"

Ancestor Tirea Snow’s eyes went wide as she realized that if this was hidden in some kind of icy terrain, it would be extremely difficult to locate it.

Sect Master Bing Luli smiled, "This is a High-Level Emperor Grade Ice Elemental’s Essence Seed. Its name is Dreamy Iceflow Wisp’s Essence Seed, allowing one’s Ice Laws and Illusion Laws to experience a qualitative growth."

"Such an expensive gift..."

Ancestor Tirea Snow looked wide-eyed at Sect Master Bing Luli to give her such a gift. The level of this gift was at the Ninth Stage, for heaven’s sake. Furthermore, the little energy residing in this tiny little icy bead might make her powerful as well, possibly even aiding her to enter the Mid-Level Law Rune Stage as she was already at the peak.

The maidens of the Mystic Ice Sect were known for two things. One, their beauty, and the other, the ability to battle with Ice and Illusion Laws. Of course, their illusionary prowess didn’t reach the heights of the Flowing Mist Sect, but it did reach a level where they terrorized their opponents with their mystic arts of illusion and ice combined.

However, Mu Bing didn’t seem to use Illusion Laws, nor did they ever hear of her using it. But, Mu Bing herself was astonished when she saw the gift they prepared.

’That’s my Dreamy Iceflow Wisp’s...’

She wryly laughed, but since she also had one reserved for her, she didn’t mind. In any case, the Ice Elemental itself was given to her by her master. However, she had yet to qualify to tame it according to her master’s analysis, and she believed that it was the case considering her low cultivation.

On the other hand, the crowd became deeply astonished, wondering if the Mystic Ice Sect’s coffers had suddenly expanded or something.

Why were they so generous?

"I’m glad you liked it."

Sect Master Bing Luli smiled before she returned to her place.

Now, everyone’s gaze fell on the three other powers. However, looking at their brows twitch, their hesitancy became apparent. Many people instantly formed assumptions!

They did not bring a gift matching the level of Mystic Ice Sect’s!

If they presented a low-level gift, their faces would surely burn in humiliation!
