I should be the one who is worried!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evelynn chuckled on hearing his statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and explained, \"What? I brought you out without any elite guards to protect us! I was too arrogant, and now, I've learnt my lesson! Except, you paid the price for it!\"With a silent pause, he murmured, \"I'm going to get beaten by my mother for sure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evelynn giggled and shook her head, \"You'll see when we get there… The strong dictates the weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her non-blaming eyes, Davis went silent. He was extremely uncomfortable with her patience and forgiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to ask the question which had been weighing on his mind for a long time, \"You don't blame me for what had happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evelynn glanced at her severed arm, \"Why would I? My arrogant self just had to go slap them because they insulted me. It was a blunder on my part, sigh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they had insulted you, then you are in the right to strike them back,\" Davis replied in a strong tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She added, \"It would, that is if I had a status or cultivation that was at least equal to them…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flicking the sleeves and narrowing his eyes, he shouted, \"You are my fiancee! How did they even get the courage to touch you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, she wryly smiled, \"We aren't married yet… To them, I am just a commoner who just got lucky.\" Her gaze then moved away from him, \"Besides, they must have thought that I am nothing more than a decoration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You aren't! You are my wife!\" Davis shamelessly declared as he looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe…\" It caused her to giggle continuously from happiness. Suddenly, she felt that losing an arm wasn't a worse matter at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evelynn then smiled brightly at him, \"I know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her bright smiling face that was void of blame, Davis felt even more guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Shirley, he also wanted to get forgiveness from her. But unlike Shirley, it was largely sincere on his part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not going to yell at me? About saving Shirley?\" David asked with a faint fear in his heart. After all, he did accidentally kiss Shirley in a moment of desperation and in the following chaos, Shirley unconsciously licked his face while it was all seen by Evelynn through the Imagery Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evelynn blushed a little while recalling the scenes displayed from the Imagery Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her go silent all of a sudden, he couldn't help but ask her once again, \"Are you mad at me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a wife, you can yell at me you know…\" Davis reminded her gently, afraid that she had been holding back all this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression suddenly went awry before she sighed, \"Despicable! Is what I would at least say… but I know that you did it accidentally. There's no reason for me to get angry at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments of silence passed before he uttered, \"… Thanks for understanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a slight sigh escaped from Evelynn's mouth as she thought, 'I'm not trying to hog you all to myself anyway.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two months later, the two of them finally arrived at the outskirts of the Loret Empire's Royal Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't meet any obstruction in their return journey as well. Nobody was unfortunate enough to get seriously injured by Davis for just stopping them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two months, his demeanour slightly changed to a cold one as he pondered on how to conduct himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From time to time, he wondered about Ellia's whereabouts, he took care of Evelynn with utmost care. Read some books in the meantime, stacking up on his knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever he glanced at her severed harm, he sighed. He vowed to one day regrow her arm as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to cast away his optimistic and cheerful personality which was gained by living in the Royal Castle for seven years, but not entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to deal with his loved ones in a fond manner while dealing with strangers in an ice cold and ruthless manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easy for him to do that, because, his original personality in his previous life was of a cold one, to begin with. He didn't change but merely returned to what he was before he came to this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, the Golden-Horned Wyvern slightly bonded with the both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, to his headache, he even heard a weird rumour that was spreading around the last few days when he neared the Loret Empire Royal Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We've finally returned home!\" Leaning on Davis's shoulders while looking at the familiar walls, Evelynn let out an exhausted noise, tired from the return journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had changed back to her black silky robes sometime after her right arm healed completely, even the scars had completely disappeared during this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only her left arm was bandaged on the severed end. It was a painful experience for her, but as a result, it made her pain threshold increase a lot. With this, she knew that she will be able to make progress in Body Tempering Cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she looked content, there was a genuine worry, visible in her eyes when she looked in the direction of her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, I'll come along with you. We'll check the rumour later.\" Looking at her worried gaze, Davis comforted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that he has to man up and receive the curses from her family for not being able to protect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they don't go overboard, Davis felt that taking unusual insults would be fine as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing the walls, they passed without even facing a single obstruction as the chief guards over the walls knew that the Golden-Horned Wyvern was the mount of the Emperor. They even bowed down out of reverence and respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first destination they arrived to wasn't the Royal Castle, but the Cauldon Family Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Davis resigned himself to be called incompetent and such, while he stood on the Golden-Horned Wyvern which was hovering above the manor with a towering presence.\u003C\u002Fp>",1115,"2026-05-28T19:17:11.954Z","2026-06-01T04:28:48.398Z",1,"novelbin.me","cd9d0b8d56e4296dd1006deb2207a3a30959d595838125ce629396c9636afb59","divine-emperor-of-death-chapter-149","divine-emperor-of-death-chapter-147",5072,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-emperor-of-death-cover.jpg"]
