Divine Emperor of Death

The Candidacy might force participants to compete in the same realm.

Otherwise, he didn't think it would be fair. He thought it would be especially the case considering the World Master's temperament since she gave him a fair chance to survive despite her own ailing soul.

If that was the case, then it was all the more appropriate that he doesn't go disturb Evelynn, Isabella and Shirley.

While he was thinking, Sophie abruptly walked in with a newcomer.

"Hello, everyone..." A sweet, melodious voice echoed with some awkwardness.

"…!"

Everyone turned shocked as they saw Fairy Aila Cherryweave present in their home.

When did this happen?

"From yesterday, I have started being one of you sisters since I decided to share my life with Davis, so please accept me."

Fairy Aila Cherryweave bowed her head all the way to her waist level, her cheeks flushing.

"Welcome~"

As the biggest sister was present, Natalya instantly stood up and moved towards Fairy Aila Cherryweave with a bright smile.

As the biggest sister was present, Natalya instantly stood up and moved towards Fairy Aila Cherryweave with a bright smile.

"We are glad to have you. In fact, we were always looking forward to having you after you have allegedly spent some time with him and held intense affection for him, sending him over a hundred letters. Even I wasn't brave enough to do that, openly state my intentions and risk my reputation getting damaged. Instead, I could only use underhanded means to seduce him."

Natalya was a smooth talker. She instantly shared some of her own story in order to get close to Fairy Aila Cherryweave.

As expected, Fairy Aila Cherryweave looked intrigued and even appeared embarrassed.

"Of course not. I'm not braver than any of you…"

She humbled herself in front of the second wife.

"I was scared that I would lose my first love, so I used everything up in order to attract his attention. The bigger the magnitude of my position, the harder the fall I would take- but of course, I don't see it that way. I am happy to be here despite all the things I have had to abandon."

"So you forsook your family."

Tina rose from her seat, getting closer to Fairy Aila Cherryweave before she reached out her hand to pat her head.

"Don't worry. We are there for you. From now on, you can always rely on us."

"Mhm~"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave pursed her lips. Tears welled up in her eyes but Tina pulled her into her bosoms, allowing her to hide her tears. Her father and mother was only her sore point. She didn't know how she came off as to them.

A dishonorable daughter? A vile slut?

She couldn't help but think occasionally while cultivating, which would put her in a depressive episode for a few minutes, but Tina's words quickly managed to soothe her heart.

If her father and mother didn't accept her, then she could only forget about them.

"Good sister…"

Because Fairy Aila Cherryweave was shorter than them by a whole head and looked like their little sister, they couldn't help but sympathize with her, especially Bylai and Zestria, who were basically sent off as hostages by their own family.

"When were you going to tell us?"

Mingzhi pinched Davis's arm.

Davis side-eyed her.

The world was abuzz with him having kidnapped Fairy Aila Cherryweave, yet it was doubtful that no power would come to chase after him, so it would be a miracle if Mingzhi didn't know about it.

However, with her still staring at him, he guessed that she wanted to hear from his own mouth. The same went for everyone else who gazed at him.

"Aila…"

Lea came forward at this moment. She waited for Aila to wipe her tears before she finally moved her lips.

"You can't unring a bell. Once your reputation is ruined, you might never get it back. When you're accused, people will gossip about it to no end but when you're exonerated, they don't bother because it's not interesting that way, so people wouldn't even bother to know the truth or get to chance across it."

"…"

"As a Celestial Fairy, you may have kept a certain infallible reputation but from now, you only need to care about the opinion of this family. You don't need to pay heed to anyone else. In their eyes, you may be someone vile who brought shame to the Cherryweave Family but in our eyes, you are innocent as a flower who brought a lovely scent into our family."

"Big sister Lea…"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave's gaze shook as she saw Lea's gentle smile.

They were so kind just as she expected, soothing her heart before she even got pour out her emotions. She felt like they understood her very well and cared for her even if she didn't become one with Davis as they have always taken care of her during the time she spent with them in the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm.

"Well said, Lea. You can't unring a bell. That was well put."

Davis nodded, "So, with that being the case, Aila is stuck with me from now on. I hope you all can accept her-"

"Hey, hey, what is it like being a Celestial Fairy?"

"How did you become one? Did powerful men actually gather and point at you?'

"No way. Celestial Fairies aren't decided by men. I heard that they prove themselves in a competition or are acknowledged by other fairies."

Fairy Aila Cherryweave was quickly bombarded with a lot of questions, making Davis blink.

It seems that her popularity was so high that he didn't need to bother about Aila's mental health here as everyone was willing to cater to her.

He felt relaxed since that was the case.

Suddenly, Davis felt a tug over his sleeve. He looked down and saw a blonde-haired pipsqueak looking at him with her cute sapphire eyes.

Davis's heart instantly swelled with sweet affection as he bent down and picked his Aurelia up, kissing her cheek.

"Hihi~ Father… thanks."

He gave her a normal candy, which she caught with both her hands and hid with her ting palms and appeared happier than anyone present.

Sophie smiled at their interaction before she returned her gaze to Fairy Aila Cherryweave.

"Please call me Aila from now on. I can sense most of you are extraordinarily powerful, so the title of Celestial Fairy is not something I can accept any more."

"Oh, did you do it already?" Fiora's eyes brightened.

Many gazes also lit up.

If a Celestial Fairy doesn't want that title anymore, it would be only because they lost their virginity or fell out of the ranks because of a lack of prowess. However, in their eyes, Aila was plenty strong for a Young Mistress in a major power.

If they weren't wrong, she must be in the third or fourth rank after Fairy Thunderblaze took over the first spot and a lot of other Celestial Fairies died or was taken away.

However, Aila became shy as she lowered and shook her head.

"Not yet."

"…"

Everyone was a bit taken aback when they heard her words.

Their husband, that absolute rogue, didn't pounce on this lovely doll the moment he got the chance?

"Of course, I understand you're all busy, including him, so it would be quite selfish of me to demand otherwise. Since I'm already here, I don't have the intention to leave, but I also feel that it would be better to get to know all of you first."

Aila's words couldn't help but make them smile.

Her willingness to interact with them was as important as her willingness to be with him. Otherwise, the harem would never remain unified.

In a palace's chamber, two pink-robed Immortal Emperors sat together, a man and a woman. Their expression looked quite downtrodden yet also confused as they looked at a stone that glowed brightly as though nothing had happened to their daughter even after two days.

"The Divine Emperor of Death still hasn't taken her innocence. Does this mean he wasn't after her beauty?"

Raxas Cherryweave spoke, his voice filled with hope, "Maybe he really does care for her opinion and wellbeing."

Laura Cherryweave's expression steeled, "In that case, he would've forcefully ended their relationship since nothing gets good when coming in contact with the manifestation of calamity."

"You can't apply common sense to him." Raxas Cherryweave shook his head, "If he is such a calamity, then why hasn't the major powers dispatched powers to subjugate him? Even Saintess Lunaria attends his weddings as though giving him her approval."

"But-"

"…"

Laura Cherryweave was at a loss for words and so was her husband, the Patriarch of the Cherryweave Family.

No, he was no longer the Patriarch of the Cherryweave Family.

He was forced to step down by the Elders and Grand Elders alike. Even the Ancestors of the Cherryweave Family didn't say anything and was silently in approval with the consensus.

However, Raxas Cherryweave wasn't bothered as it was true his favored daughter did bring shame to the entire family.

It was his responsibility to take, but he was fine with it as long as his daughter could find true love and happiness within that fantastical scenario where a calamitous manifestation would love her with all he had.
