Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 193 Setting Out

Davis was confused, "Hmm? Wouldn't people feel strange or awkward even if there's a minute age difference of 10 years?"

Haus blinked in confusion, "Wait… This is not a mortal's world… Why are you limiting your view like that?"

Davis nodded, a little bit curious, "Oh… Then do you care to elaborate?"

"Elaborate? You want to know what's the line in age difference you shouldn't touch?" Haus asked confusedly.

Davis nodded his head again. He wanted to know more about the ethics of this world, at least in this part of the place.

"Hmm… Most of us who would've seen people nearing hundred's would say that there's no difference from a 16-year-old till a 300-year-old but I would personally say as long as you aren't too young or too old in appearance, age doesn't matter…"

Davis responded, "I see, eh??? Why would everyone say that there's no difference between a 16-year-old and a 300-year-old?"

"Because from the perspective of a major power, everyone below 300 years old could be considered juniors…"

"Oh… I don't know about all this…"

"It's fine when I was your age I was duped and bullied a lot by my own friends… And you? You should be quite a genius who got recruited into the headquarters or must be a descendant of a Fifth Stage Expert… I'm honestly envious of you! Even Sasha must've thought that someone in a high position must've invited for her to accept the invitation easily."

"It's fine, she doesn't deserve you…" Davis tried to comfort him since he seemed to unknowingly step on his Achilles Heel.

"Huh? What do you mean? She is a genius while I'm not! I'm completely aware that I'm the frog trying to eat a swan, but I won't give up!"

"Even though today could be considered a failure, you could have the spirit stones! Then later!" Saying so, Haus stormed off the building.

'Uh… What I meant was in terms of character, you are better… Is he still embarrassed? I was just trying to console him, haha!' Davis laughed inwardly and looked at the table behind him filled with delicacies.

He licked his lips as he sat down.

…

At night, in Davis's room.

"Ahh, that was a good dinner! I could feel my energy boiling… I could probably make some improvements to my Energy Condensation Cultivation with all this energy."

All the delicacies he ate were Spirit Stage Beasts, and Haus paid for all of it.

'He's probably a Vice-Captain…" Davis thought while resting on the bed like a pig resting after a sumptuous feast.

He then sat and cultivated for a while, improving his Energy Condensation Cultivation as he circulated Extinction Lightning Judgement.

It took a while for him to refine the energy obtained. After that, he thought of using his Soul Sense but didn't after considerable thought.

First, it would be considered rude and if found out, conflict might breakout.

Second, there were already formations in some buildings that makes his Soul Sense useless as he would find it difficult to penetrate it.

Third, most importantly, there might be some people powerful enough to be capable of detecting his sense.

He didn't want it to turn into a difficult or an awkward situation, so he kept his Soul Sense shut and thought of something else.

He took out the Yin-Yang Merit Sutra and resumed researching it deeply like any other man of culture would do in the night.

The next day morning, Davis closed the book and it disappeared into thin air.

He slowly got up and looked outside the window as he glanced at the rising sun, 'I'm such a pervert…'

Even he didn't realise it himself although he doubted it before.

Laughing slightly, he left the empty room behind and walked to the northern gate.

After a few minutes, he gradually arrived at the northern gate. There, he was surprised to see another silhouette rather than the two he was expecting.

Su Hualing, Lucas and Lucia stood as they smiled at him.

Su Hualing wore the same clothes while Lucas and Lucia wore the mercenary uniform.

Lucas waved his hand while Lucia slightly raised her hand but hesitated and kept it behind.

Davis approached them and said, "Miss Su Hualing, did you come here to take your kids away?"

"Che! Who are you calling a kid? I'm an adult!" Lucia pouted in displeasure and turned away her head.

"There's nothing wrong with what he said, and you're not an adult. Keep that in mind, Lucia!" Su Hualing looked at her and berated.

She then smiled and turned her head, "Sorry for the trouble, Davis."

Davis blinked in confusion.

"Are you sure that you want to bring them on a mission? Though these two could be considered geniuses, they can't be spoken in the same length as you. They'll just be dragging you down in your mission possibly even giving you trouble."

"It is fine if you decline…" Su Hualing said and looked at him gently.

"Although I like travelling alone, it's fine for them to accompany me. Though I don't know if they can come with me to do these missions…" He took out those for scrolls and handed it to Su Hualing.

Su Hualing checked the contents of the mission and furrowed her brows, "This… It is quite challenging for both of them, but this is better!"

"And it seems that you're a warrior? Hahaha… Then that means these two who are just semi-warriors will have to listen to your words when you three are out on a mission." She had a good laugh and glanced at the dissatisfied kids.

Lucas and Lucia both frowned. They just that they will accompany him to some low-level missions but now, it didn't seem like the case, plus, they had to listen to him? A kid younger than them?

Although, they didn't realise that they forgot one point, that he was stronger than them.

"Still going?" Su Hualing teasingly asked.

Both of them were hesitating when they heard their Mom.

"Feeling cowardly, are we?" She provoked them with a slightly smug face.

They both immediately turned embarrassed and shouted, "We'll go!"
