Chapter 1904: Unfair…

Tanya Frostblight's heart pounded a bit rapidly. She instantly realized that she was practically alone in this room and lowered her head, not daring to match gazes with him despite hearing his provocative statement.

"The other resting rooms must be occupied since the Emperor of Death approached this place. I was just about done with my session, so I'll take my leave."

She took a step forward and began to walk out, but then a firm voice echoed.

"Stay."

It caused her to stop in her tracks, making her tremble ever so lightly.

The purple-robed man in front of her walked past her before the door closed by itself, causing her rapidly beating heart to skip a beat.

She could hear him making himself comfortable on a sofa before she heard his chuckle.

"You, of all people, call me the Emperor of Death? What happened to Natalya's husband? Dragon Queen's subordinate? Where is your carefree attitude? I don't see a semblance of it, Tanya Frostblight."

"…"

Tanya Frostblight didn't reply for a few moments before she silently took a deep breath.

"Everyone grows. At that time, even though I was a top disciple, I was nothing but a fledgling who didn't know about the world, so I could afford to be carefree but shaped by my increasingly powerful ice, I've become the same as my fellow disciples, calm and collected."

"Your heart is anything but calm and collected, Tanya Frostblight."

Davis's amused words caused her to tremble again as she bit her lips. Even now, she didn't turn back, making her think what exactly was his purpose in coming here.

To have a chat about the past? It certainly didn't seem like it, nor did she dare assume.

Her ample bosoms heaved before she turned to look at him, taking in his features and calm expression before she bowed.

"I thank the Emperor of Death for saving me that day. Otherwise, I might've fallen into someone's claws, not even able to welcome death with my own hands."

Davis blinked before he recalled that day when he first traveled to find Shirley and ended up in Drake Blackburn's hospitality for some time.

She was thanking him for it now?

Davis shook his head.

"This gratitude came a little more than late if you ask me…"

"I am aware of my impudence in delaying a display of my gratitude. Besides, if it weren't for the resources you have granted the Falling Snow Sect or the Frigid World Spirit you have given me from Natalya's request, I would be hard-pressed to reach this stage. Tanya only knows eternal gratitude in her heart."

Davis watched every slight movement of Tanya's body as she replied. She had her head slightly bowed, not showing her expression, but no matter how composed her voice was, her initial tremble couldn't be faked.

"Is that why you find it difficult?" His smile faded, his voice echoing with seriousness.

Tanya Frostblight's shoulders trembled.

"…"

It was a while before she opened her mouth.

"Can I take my leave, your eminence?"

Davis pursed his lips before he nodded his head.

"You can leave. There is no problem with that. However, I'll make myself clear that you'll never have a chance like this ever again. I have patience, even to hunt my enemies, but not for matters like this, so I'll leave it to your decision of what you want to choose."

"…"

Only silence reigned the room. Slowly, Tanya Frostblight's shoulders started to tremble severely before Davis saw two starry teardrops cascading to the surface as they splattered.

"Unfair…"

Her voice trembled when she suddenly raised her head, her ocean blue eyes appearing misty as her rosy lips trembled.

"Even I… didn't want it to be like this… but my heart… it aches for you… it hurts when you say… that I will never have a chance again…"

Davis's heart clenched as he saw her aching visage. He never thought her emotions towards him ran this deep.

However, Tanya Frostblight looked as though she realized something before her expression ached more, tears streaming. She instantly turned around and stepped towards the door, wanting to leave.

But Davis suddenly appeared behind her as he wrapped his arms around her mellow waist, causing her to freeze.

"If you think of me that much, why do you still hesitate? I accept your love, Tanya."

"…!?"

Tanya Frostblight's entire body jolted. However, despite the tears streaming her face, a satisfied smile ran across the features of her expression as she used her hands to hold his as though feeling fulfilled before she closed her eyes.

"Young Emperor… this satisfaction from your words alone will last a lifetime. However, we cannot do this… Natalya will feel sad." Her voice echoed with a forlorn feeling of acceptance.

"…?"

Davis was confused. How was Natalya going to feel sad if she was the one who told him to take her?

Besides, could it be that despite being her friend, Tanya Frostblight never knew Natalya's accepting attitude towards him taking other women?

Or was it because it was a sensitive topic that Tanya Frostblight never brought the topic of him in a romantic manner to Natalya?

Back then, Natalya met Tanya Frostblight in a distribution battle concerning the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's Nectar. After that, when he sent Natalya to the Falling Snow Sect under the guidance of Ancestor Tirea Snow to improve her cultivation and comprehension, her friendship with Tanya grew more. Finally, after the Falling Snow Sect sought refugee in his Alstreim Family, they got together and shared some unknown time which made their bond stronger.

And now, judging by Tanya Frostblight's tone and her inability to lie with a straight face, it really could be seen that they didn't talk about seducing him while it was solely Natalya's wish that he attains Tanya Frostblight so that Tanya Frostblight wouldn't silently suffer.

And for Falling Snow Sect women, if they felt that their behavior was wrong, they would rather stay and condemn themselves to loneliness or tragedy than ruin or burden the life of their lover, as seen in the suicidal behavior of Ancestor Tirea Snow once.

Does anything need to be said about their loyalty? Once a Falling Snow Sect female disciple falls in love, they'll even go as far as to betray their own sect, even if it were for a corrupt man like the dead Weapon Refining Villa's Villa Master who plotted against the Falling Snow Sect.

This was due to their sect's teachings to remain loyal to the heart, which is their sect. However, if their heart is no longer with the sect, the disadvantages could be seen, but even then, the Falling Snow Sect didn't change the teachings of their Founding Ancestor. Therefore, their infamy was so wide that even some other Territories wanted the Falling Snow Sect's women as their brides, even going far as to occasionally kidnap them.

As for Tanya Frostblight's character, she was cheerful, sometimes in her own world, bright and reflective like the moon, tending to reciprocate friendliness and hostility. Even when she let go of her carefree attitude after experiencing the world with her own eyes, she was still desirable, anything but obnoxious.

Her ocean-blue slanted eyes, small, perfectly-chiseled nose, and rosy lips were nothing short of screaming sexy cougar in his mind.

Any man would be head over heels for her, and her reputation might even exceed that of Ancestor Tirea Snow's when she enters the Ninth Stage in the future, even if he never helped her because of her rare comprehension ability over Ice Laws and Sword Laws. And now, her reputation far exceeded an average Mid-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouse because she had conjured a Perfect Ice Domain and even a Superior Sword Domain, which made her way more exceptional.

It could be said that she grew to this state with his resources. However, that didn't make her his as he only wanted to help Ancestor Tirea Snow lead her sect to become as powerful as the Alstreim Family when excluding his family. Nevertheless, the competition made Tanya Frostblight even more famous, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Ancestor Tirea Snow received letters from many powers, asking for Tanya Frostblight's hand in marriage.

They didn't dare to walk in with an entire entourage but only sent formal letters, seeking Ancestor Tirea Snow's help. However, they were all thrown away, and Davis, who noticed that with his soul sense, couldn't help but smile until Natalya wished for him to take her, making him amusingly think that if Ancestor Tirea Snow gets any more of those letters, he's going to tear them apart himself.

Rising to the top, Davis felt himself becoming more and more ruthless and willful because whenever he tried to humble himself, characters like the Venerable Twilight Pill Emperor tended to take advantage of their seniority to stand over him. He further understood that he could no longer afford to be insulted, just for the sake of keeping his reputation as the Emperor of Death when he could care less back then without a title to his head.

Wherever he went, people cast a reverential or fearful gaze. Even if he tried to act cool, the pride did somewhat get to his head, making him think that he could do whatever he wanted, especially after no one dared to even ask him anything after he publicly cuckolded the Young Palace Master of the Glorious Pill Palace, which could've had him killed if his prowess was in the Peak-Level Ninth Stage because of the presence of the Four Great Righteous Sects but did they even dare to berate him?

Not one bit. Even the Starnova Emperor didn't want to fight him despite being in a marriage alliance with the Glorious Pill Palace.

The taste of overwhelming power was very obvious to his tongue, but even then, his mind was free of these sinful desires as he had his lovely women to keep him company and cultivation of the soul to regain sanity.

However, the constant suppression he put on himself came off when his women kept recommending that he take other women like Zestria, Dalila, Tanya Frostblight, and Bylai Zlatan. He couldn't help but want to put his hand on them, defile them, make love to them.

His primal desires of a man kept overflowing that he couldn't stop himself and came to visit Tanya Frostblight, who was near. However, he still had his sanity with him and decided that if she were to leave, he would respect her decision and never look back again because that was the consequence of one's choices. He would feel satisfied as well since he fulfilled Natalya's request of giving Tanya Frostblight a chance.

But after seeing her tearful face that moved him, he didn't have the heart to leave her, and now that she was literally in his arms, he couldn't stop himself.

"Ahn~"

Tanya Frostblight's eyes narrowed as she let out a pleasured cry as Davis buried his face on her snow-white neck.
