Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1601 – Under Her Wings

After that event, Little Davis, Little Clara, and Hendrickson were taken to the Throne Hall, where they knelt again. Hendrickson professed his loyalty in exchange for the protection of two of them, and Mark Ruth accepted.

Little Davis and Little Clara were given a room in this Imperial Palace, and their statuses as fallen prince and princess had been established. They were nothing more than refugees who Emperor Ruth had granted amnesty to live under their protection.

Little Davis felt grateful to this man, but little did he know that hellish life would begin.

Bullying...

As Claire implored, Little Davis did everything in his power to protect little Clara, who cowered behind him. Even though he got bullied by the Ruth Family’s Prince and Princesses almost every day, he didn’t stop cultivating and protecting his little sister, getting beaten up, made to do menial and humiliating tasks.

For the first time, Davis approved Little Davis’s behavior, who finally seemed to understand what was important. Nevertheless, the bullying continued for months before Davis finally met a person who stood up for him, telling the other prince and princesses to scram.

"Isabella..." Davis uttered with a bit of longing, but his voice didn’t echo out.

Instead, Little Davis warily stared at Isabella’s peaches before looking at her face.

"What do you want?"

"Oh my... that’s the thing you say towards the person who rescued you?"

Little Davis lowered his head before he grudgingly uttered.

"Thank... you..."

Isabella giggled with a smile on her face before it faded.

"I can’t believe my siblings would be this overbearing to you two children. I should’ve known this, considering they looked at me with similar eyes when I made myself distinguished from them..."

Isabella pursed her lips before she clasped her hands.

"I apologize in their stead. You will no longer be treated the same way, little siblings."

Little Davis became dumbfounded before he clenched his teeth, openly showing his distaste.

"Hmph! Your siblings have already tried this, saving me once only to betray me the next day! Go search for a new method to fool me, you dumb woman with cow udders!"

"What a foul-mouthed brat..."

Isabella couldn’t help but smirk despite her brows twitching in anger. Being the bigger person here, she ’naturally’ took that as a provocation and tried to change his mind, including but not limited to beating the shit out of him.

Davis wholeheartedly agreed with Isabella’s fists as he shook his head. This little Davis deserved it.

Little Davis remained obstinate, not believing Isabella’s words but believing her nature to be vile, just like her siblings. Her actions just proved his words. She left after teaching him a lesson but came the next day and the next. She came to meet him almost every day to prove that he was wrong and, at the same time, willing to protect him from others.

Moreover, she seemed interested in knowing his true origin, whether he was from the other side or not.

And as days passed, Little Davis felt that it was different. Her punches when he rudely spoke to her did not hurt or make him cough blood like the time when her siblings did cause him to cough out blood. Instead, it was similar to a light slap to his hand, making him feel closer as he also punched and kicked back, although Isabella defended against every single one of his attacks effortlessly and smirked at him, provoking him each time.

Before long, they unknowingly seemed to be forming a bond while little Davis became more and more opening up to her, looking at her like she was his big sister.

’Wait the fu*k! She’s THE third wife, little Davis. What are you thinking, sister-zoning her?’

Davis inwardly screamed out in reluctance.

Nevertheless, for the subsequent years, Davis and Clara grew up safely under Isabella’s wings. She taught them cultivation, specifically Body Tempering Cultivation, making them grow stronger. Clara really liked Isabella as well, taking her as her big sister, and unlike the previous Clara, this Clara grew up cheerful even though she seemed to carry the heavy burden of losing her parents at a mere age of two.

Many scenes quickly flashed past Davis’s eyes, and before he knew it, Little Davis was no longer little but big, young eighteen already.

At this moment, in front of him was the tunnel leading to the Earth Dragon Immortal Inheritance. Although Young Davis wasn’t as strong as him at the same stage, he did gain the qualifications to enter the trials after many struggles and tribulations.

’I see... so Isabella passed the Sky Grade Trial instead of the King Grade Trial in this instance. After all, she takes the Emperor Grade Trial in my world at this time of the opening. No wonder she didn’t become the Empress. Is this also the influence of Fallen Heaven? It certainly has a wide reach on the world...’

Davis mused.

Nevertheless, this all emerged from the event when Isabella stated that she would go to the other side after clearing the King Grade Trial before Young Davis suddenly echoed out that he would follow her into that world, claiming that he wanted to know his true origin.

Moreover, Young Davis already had a big crush on Isabella at that time, so it made him all the more embarrassed to utter something like that.

However, learning values and morals from Isabella, he stayed his hands away from her, looking at her with a pious light which irked the Davis inside to no end, but he could understand.

Isabella was truly like a second mother to Little Davis, who showed the way, carving a path for him to thrive in this cutthroat world. Still, Isabella rejected Young Davis’s request at first, but after he asked many times without giving up, she agreed but laid down the condition that he must pass the Sky Grade Trial.

Young Davis held strong and strengthened himself to the limit before he took on the trials, becoming the next person to clear the King Grade Trial! Nevertheless, only the Davis inside knew that this lad almost died to impress his crush.

As a result, they left Clara in the Grand Sea Continent for her to be safer while the two of them, who both passed the King Grade Trial, entered the First Layer through the spatial gate, arriving at the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

They faced numerous struggles and trials for a period of time as they killed or negotiated their way through, all unknown to Davis. In his original fate, he actually adventured with Isabella while losing all else except Clara?

Indeed, the only news that he heard about Evelynn was that she committed suicide before she could be caught. After all, she was his fiancee who was promised to him from an early age. How could she be left alive? Or, if she was, she would’ve faced a fate worse than death.

The Nolan and Cauldon Family, who had been loyal to the Loret Family, had been slaughtered. There was no news of Ellia. Diana and Edward weren’t even born into this world.

Shirley became the first in the Grand Sea Continent Meet, her name resounding throughout the Grand Sea Continent. Even the aphrodisiac incident didn’t take place.

However, it was said that due to becoming so powerful, she lacked men to marry even though the entire Grand Sea Continent scrambled to court her, unlike Isabella, who did not make her name known to the world other than participating in the previous Grand Sea Continent Meet, becoming first but removing herself from the world after that incident, which made her true prowess fifteen years later unknown to the world until she beat up Emperor Raven and Emperor Tritor who were still alive and doing their evil deeds on a daily basis.

Funnily enough, the Ice and Fire Phoenix Immortal Inheritances weren’t even found on the Firzen Island, and yet, Shirley was still powerful for her young age.

All these things were completely ridiculous to him over how much Fallen Heaven changed the fate of the world if this all was true. Nevertheless, as his journey with Isabella continued, his doubt towards something vague and disturbing was finally answered as he looked at the person in front of him in an auction house.

She possessed a fair white complexion, lush black hair, amethyst eyes, a small cute nose, and cherry lips. She appeared dazzlingly beautiful to the Young Davis’s eyes that his heart skipped a beat. Nevertheless, he managed to get what he came here for; the invitation to the underground auction.

But...

The woman in front of him was none other than Tina Roxley!
