Divine Emperor of Death

Half a day later.

Davis sat beside Evelynn, strengthening his foundations to make a breakthrough.

He ran his energy over through the meridians numerous times, leading it into the revolving core present in his Dantian.

His breakthrough to Body Transformation Stage was imminent, and with a thought, he could breakthrough but something didn't seem right.

He stopped cultivating and ruminated, 'I'm able to breakthrough in both Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation, yet my mind is subconsciously inhibiting me from doing that...'

'What could it be... Treasures? Heart Demon? Special kind of breakthrough?'

He kept contemplating as he thought of all possibilities. This feeling was just like he was kind of forgetting something.

Something important.

Suddenly, realization struck him, 'Requirements!'

'Requirements for Immortal Inheritances!'

'That's right, if I broke through, then I can say goodbye to those Inheritances!'

Davis shook his head, silently berating his carelessness. There was too much in his mind right now to keep his thought process healthy.

His mother had made him known about the requirements but if he were to make a breakthrough now, then he would lose the right to participate.

In fact, he forgot to make a mental note on it, that's why he lost it out of the numerous thoughts he had since the day he returned.

He opened his eyes and turned to look at Evelynn, a smile that can't said to be one, appeared on his face; a lewd smile.

He then shook his head, removing that thought away from his mind.

'It's been half a day, yet they still haven't appeared?' Davis felt suspicious.

He extended his Soul Sense and searched the corners, hallways, corridors before moving out of the Royal Castle, spreading to a radius of over many kilometers in a matter of few seconds.

'Found them...' Davis smiled as he stood up.

They were just a few minutes away from the royal castle.

He went over to the mirror and looked at himself calling out, "Evelynn?"

Evelynn hurriedly closed the book in a flustered manner, a pink blush creeping up on her cheeks.

She stored it in her spatial ring and stuttered, "Y... Yes!"

Davis smiled at her in a teasing manner, "Well, I'm glad you like it..."

"Mhmm!" Evelynn made a muffled sound of being wronged and had a slight pout on her face.

Davis laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore... Those two are almost here, they'll be here in a few minutes."

"Oh..." Evelynn perfunctorily nodded as she stood up but as she did so, she slightly froze before she automatically moved in a direction.

Davis smiled even more but didn't comment.

'It can't be helped... Ahh, she's inexperienced after all...' 

About 20 minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Davis walked to the door and opened it.

"Brother!" A visibly excited girl who looked similar to Clara instantly jumped on him, grabbing his neck as she shouted.

She tightly held his neck as she laughed, her young sweet voice echoing throughout the room.

Davis also laughed as he swung her around for a few seconds, his arms letting her down gently.

He patted her head and shook her lush black hair, "You've too grown-up uh..."

Davis took a look at her height which he measured it to be around 150 centimeters. Her appearance was similar to Clara's except she had medium length black hair that draped over her shoulders and sapphire eyes, which were obviously inherited from her father. 

She seemed to wear two-layered clothes but he paid it no heed.

"Hehehe..." Diana cutely laughed, vastly different from her cold elder sister.

She was just like the way he remembered her, cheerful to the extreme.

"Brother, where have you been? I was so lonely without you..."

Davis pinched her cheeks, "Brat! You've learned to lie, uh..."

"Ow ow ow, it hurts brother!" Diana made a pained expression on her face.

Davis instantly loosened his grip, only to find her jump back and playfully wink at him.

"You brat! You learned to act too!" With a false furious expression on his face, he chased her as she ran around the room.

"Hahaha!" Diana laughed as she ran at full speed.

After two rounds of chasing, with a quick dash, he caught her with arms wrapping around her body.

"Ahhh!" Diana shrieked, realizing that she had got caught.

Davis laughed, "If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't turn into a proper lady!"

Saying so, he let his fingers tickle her waist while sealing her movements with his hold.

"Hahaha! No! Haha! Hah... Haha!! Stopppp! Hahaha!" Diana broke out into a fit of laughter, her hands flailing in the air.

"Hahaha! Ahh! Hahah!"

She then tried to struggle out as but it only increased her suffering.

"Hahaha! Ok! Hahah! I! Giv... Haha... Give... Haha... Up..."

Only after hearing it from her mouth did he let her down.

Diana let out gasps and took in huge amounts of breath, still slightly laughing in the process.

A few seconds later, she settled down as she commented, "You're ruthless, brother..."

Davis nodded, his face proud. 

To this extremely carefree personality of hers, he had only one word, 'Cunning...'

'This girl is actually testing me...' Davis smiled.

He had expected her to be naive but instead, she was cunning.

'Her cheerful personality isn't reserved for all...'

"Looks like your help didn't come at all..." Davis smiled at her. This was the reason he knew that she had been testing her.

Diana looked at him as she shook her head, "You're too strong brother..."

"Come out, Edward..." She shouted.

"I can't!" Sounded a bewildered voice, echoing outside the room.

Diana was dumbfounded as she looked around, 'He didn't sneak in?'

Then she looked at Davis and the answer was clear.

Edward came floating into the room, his movements restricted by a transparent form of energy, soul force.

Davis looked at his little brother.

Again, around 150 centimeters tall, 10 years old, a year lower than his big sister, Diana, who is 11 years old.

Edward had a face similar to him while looking a lot like Claire and just as handsome as him. He had black hair tied into a ponytail while his eyes were purple in color which Davis garnered that he inherited from his mother.

He wore those same royal robes that once Davis wore, except it looked more flashy and elegant.
