Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2073: Firstborn's Popularity

Chapter 2073: Firstborn's Popularity

Although there was some complex expression on her face, similarly seen in her sisters' faces occasionally, hers was different. She held the baby with intense affection surging in her heart. After absorbing the Emperor-Tier Blood of the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Immortal, she was well aware that her chances of getting pregnant had fallen to an all-time low that it could be said to be almost abysmal.

Natalya and Fiora looked smitten with Eterna, finding her so cute as so many others did. Iesha was also present, looking at Eterna with the utmost curiosity. She kept her ice energy at bay, using all her strength so that she didn't accidentally harm the baby.

Mingzhi was the most cheerful one, making evil faces at Eterna as Eterna curiously glanced around with unfocused eyes. She made those wise movements of an elder, causing them all to laugh and cheer that she was a healthy baby.

Sophie, Niera, Tina, Zestria, Lea, Bylai, Dalila, and Tanya wore smiling expressions as they grabbed Eterna's tiny fingers and toes.

Everyone more or less touched Eterna a few times, feeling somewhat strange in their hearts as though they had never seen a baby before.

However, it wasn't that they had never seen babies before, but the one in front of them was their man's firstborn. The weight she held in their hearts was heavy, also inducing a certain feeling in their hearts that they suppressed all this while to cultivate faster. However, despite going against their nature, they reaffirmed to get stronger first.

Shortly, everyone came running to s.h.i.+rley, congratulating her for giving birth to the firstborn of the Davis Family, or as they described, and started to make it a topic.

Davis didn't lend his ears to their drivel and walked into the room with his firstborn, Eterna.

He gently held her and waved the others goodbye.

"You ravenous women can see my little princess sometime later. Right now, the little fairy needs some rest."

"Hmph!~"

"Look at him become a doting and protective father already."

"The name Emperor of Death will cry."

Fiora, Evelynn, and Mingzhi uttered; sounds of dissatisfaction echoing as the women teased him, teaming up together. However, they didn't stop him, looking at him leave with s.h.i.+rley. Even Isabella went with them, but they didn't say anything, for they knew that she carried the next progeny. They couldn't help but discuss how powerful they would become in the future.

Davis entered the room and placed Eterna on the infant cus.h.i.+on, caressing her head with gentleness. He kissed her tiny forehead, unable to take his eyes off of her. His soul sense gently brushed past her tiny body, trying to find some strange abnormalities, but he couldn't find any.

Eterna possessed no unique physique according to his knowledge, but that didn't disappoint him one bit, for he imagined that she would enter the Immortal Foundation Stage even before she reached eighteen. After all, he possessed the true essence blood of the Earth Dragon Immortal, and her mother possessed the true essence blood of the Fire Phoenix Immortal, pa.s.sing them down to her in their purest form.

It was of little doubt that her future on the Immortal Stage would be smooth-sailing even if she was lazier than an average person.

s.h.i.+rley and Isabella giggled as they watched him be mesmerized by his daughter. To s.h.i.+rley, this was a prideful matter as well, something that caused her to heave a sigh of relief that she didn't show outside, only revealing now.

"I'm elated… I was afraid that I'd disappoint everyone for not giving birth to a son, but everyone welcomed Eterna with warm hands. They didn't have those eyes of disappointment or rancor even though there was a hint of desire, which is understandable, considering that they too deeply love Davis."

s.h.i.+rley bit her lips as she turned to look at Isabella, "But, I'm the one who is most jealous. You're carrying a son, aren't you?"

"Hehe~"

Isabella giggled as she looked away, "That's a matter we'll know in three to four more months."

"Mhm~"

s.h.i.+rley heavily pouted, looking aggrieved, but she then smiled, her hands stretching as her fingers danced in an eerie way, "Come, I'll seal you! Your son is mine!"

"No! I won't let you have my child!"

Isabella took a stand, appearing ready to start a battle. However, they grinned at each other, seemingly having fun.

Davis turned to look back at the commotion, wondering what was going on as he saw their goofy faces. He couldn't help but smile, recalling his derailed fate where things were different. Fortunately, they seem to have hit it off well, able to make jokes at this level without getting offended.

Only these two women were outside to socialize while Evelynn and the others were immersed in closed-door cultivation. As baby mothers, it could be said that they shared many of their experiences to get to know each other better and, after understanding each other's values, came to be more like best friends rather than sisters.

Suddenly, Davis disappeared and appeared before s.h.i.+rley, grasping her wrist. s.h.i.+rley became startled before she giggled, "What? You're already more protective of your son than your daughter?"

Davis didn't say anything to s.h.i.+rley but turned to look at Isabella, causing her to blink.

"Isabella, take care of Eterna. As for this fiery woman..."

Davis locked s.h.i.+rley within his grasp, looking at her with a fiery gaze of his own that struck s.h.i.+rley to her core, causing her to tremble. She now knew why he captured her wrist, causing her to shudder ever so lightly in anxiety and excitement and the same time.

"Davis… no…"

Her expression quickly became embarra.s.sed as Isabella was also just beside them.

Isabella couldn't help but giggle lightly, knowing that the phoenix was finally caught in his net. In her mind, it was extremely difficult to escape from this net and even more so because she knew that Davis hadn't done anyone in these two months.

Because his women had gone into seclusion, Davis was s.e.xless these two months. Therefore, it couldn't be helped that he was intensely pa.s.sionate at this moment, burning with desire.

"Davis, I can't afford to get pregnant again..."

s.h.i.+rley's lips quivered, her tone unsure as though she was trying to come up with excuses.

"As if it would happen again and again…!"

Davis rasped with wide eyes. Right now, his body was truly taken over by his desire to make love with s.h.i.+rley. He was about to lift her up in a princess carry and bring her to another room, but then s.h.i.+rley's crimson eyes also suddenly blazed as she kept her palms against his chest.

"My love, as much as I want to do this with you, I'm not willing!"

"…!?"

It was as though a bucket of cold water had been poured on Davis's head, causing him to freeze as his wide eyes turned into one of shock.

s.h.i.+rley looked startled by his reaction that she panicked.

"No… I... I didn't mean that way. I meant that I won't take another step forward without seeing the Ice Phoenix Immortal first!"

She hurriedly explained, looking desperate for him not to misunderstand her.

"No matter what, we're supposed to help Clara first. It's… it's because of me that she lost her rights-"

"No, that was because of me." Davis shook his head, his expression becoming calm," You're right. I was a bit careless and hasty-"

"No…" s.h.i.+rley waved her hand, "I… Clara hasn't said a single word about it, but I'm sure that she feels sorrow about losing the Immortal Inheritance somewhere in her heart. I can't leave her alone like that and feel bliss by myself. Eterna has already provided us with such happiness. I would be a fool if-"

"You don't have to explain anymore, s.h.i.+rley." Davis lightly smiled and patted her head, "In this case, I fully understand and want to do the same."

He felt that he should've known this would happen because she is a good person who wished immense happiness for the people she cared about. She even cared about Myria, to say the least, wanting him to reconcile with her.

"I'm sorry." s.h.i.+rley apologized again, her face imploring, "I didn't mean to say that. I just thought that If I were to sleep… with you before I take care of Clara's troubles, it would make me an extremely shameless woman. I don't want to be someone like that, forgetting past favors and enjoying life by myself when she is probably hurting somewhere…."

"Alright," Davis nodded as though he accepted her apology, "Say no more. It's also my fault for delaying visiting the Ice Phoenix for so long. Let's go to the Firzen Island in the Grand Sea Continent."

"Mhm."

"However, you should first get some rest, even if it is an hour or two." He added.

"Wha-?" s.h.i.+rley gawked, "I don't need rest. Look how active and energetic I am-"

"I won't back down on this, s.h.i.+rley." Davis's voice became stern, "Either you rest, or I'll make you rest."

"Mhmm~" s.h.i.+rley uttered a sound of reluctance before she lowered her head, "Fine~"

Davis nodded satisfactorily.

On the other hand, Isabella watched this whole ordeal with a wide smile on her face, simply feeling that her man's empire was shaping up to be a grand one. In her mind, this was just the start.

Davis once again asked her to take care of Eterna, and she acquiesced as she watched them leave after kissing Eterna's cheeks one last time together from both sides.

After the door closed on her, she walked to the cute Eterna and held her finger with the utmost gentleness possible. She looked at her innocent sapphire eyes reminiscent of Davis scanning her. That couldn't help but put a wide smile on her face, invoking her maternal feelings.

"Don't worry. You'll have a little sister to play with soon. But, this is a secret between us, okay?"

"... Kay~"

Eterna made a cute noise that sounded like an agreement to Isabella, causing her to giggle before someone entered the room with enthusiastic steps.

"Isabella, Davis sent me to look after you both."

Isabella saw that it was her mother-in-law, Claire before she nodded.

Before long, a few others also entered one by one, visiting Eterna while Claire helped her take care of Eterna, willing to take care of her even if she left to rest. Evelynn was the same.

The other women also offered to help, which revealed Eterna's rising popularity by the second! However, three people were more than enough that they were sent out after some time to not make the place crowded.

Soon, the men like Logan and Edgar also started visiting as well.

Like this, the news of the Emperor of Death's first heir being born also spread like wildfire, causing the righteous path to experience tremendous waves!
