Inside a cultivation chamber sat a black-haired, green-robed woman. The formless wind spun around her body as she circulated wind energy inside her meridians. The undulations of the Law Dominion Stage were prevalent, churning with an immense might than an average Law Dominion Stage Cultivator.
*Tok!~* *Tok!~*
At this time, the sound of the knocking woke her up, causing her to open her eyes while she stopped cultivating and stood up, hovering towards the door as she opened it, revealing a velvet-haired, green-robed beauty with gracious curves.
“Lucia, your cousin Davis summons you.”
“Me?” Lucia blinked at her mother, Su Hualing.
“I don’t know.” Su Hualing closed one of her eyes as she smirked, “Perhaps, he’s finally interested in you?”
Lucia made an exasperated face, “Mother, I really don’t like him that way, and neither does he.”
“I’m just kidding.” Su Hualing giggled softly, “If Little Davis wanted you, he would’ve claimed you long ago but go see him and see what he requires of you. We should be grateful to him because we have received so many resources from him but have yet to pay them back.”
Lucia smilingly nodded, but her expression became solemn.
“Mother, he’s not Little Davis. Stop treating him like he’s your child unless you want to die.”
“It’s fine~ It’s fine~ I’m sure your cousin will allow me to call him in an endearing manner~”
Lucia rolled her eyes, but her face still had a bright smile as she walked past her mother. She arrived outside the mansion and stretched her body, showing her gracious curves that didn’t lose out to her mother’s.
“The weather is great!~ Today’s going to be a great day as well.”
She wore a light green veil and flew out, looking at the bustling atmosphere of the Alstreim Family. Ever since Davis came to rise as the Emperor of Death, there were fewer and fewer crimes in the Grand Alstreim City, the intensity of crimes decreasing at a rapid rate.
The Disciplinary Hall had also become free of corruption, giving rise to an Alstreim Family that carried out justice in a fruitful manner. To that end, the wrongdoers became afraid to do wrong, and the just ones carried out a productive life, unafraid of being bullied, which economically benefited the Alstreim Family and gave rise to harmony.
At this point, almost every household had a rise in members as there was recently a baby boom but what’s more interesting was even the ones who had stagnated had increased their cultivations due to the pouring resources that didn’t face a stop even now.
If it weren’t her cousin’s influence, then what was it?
Lucia felt a deep sense of pride whenever someone talked about him. He was practically the Alstreim Family’s hero, and many men could be seen imitating his purple robe and hairstyle as it became a fashion trend. His influence knew no bounds, and even the women were crazy for him, practically worshiping him as they compared all men to him on a pedestal, giving a massive headache to all singles.
Just how could they compare to him?
Lucia couldn’t help but smile as many men sought her hand in marriage, but she compared them to his cousin and blasted them away. Thinking about how fun it was, she got a kick out of it. After all, no matter how many times she didn’t want a marriage, proposals kept pouring in, all because her brother Lucas leaked that they were close to the Emperor of Death while being drunk with his friends.
From then on, it was a nightmare for her, and although she appropriately beat her brother up for it, the hounding of proposals didn’t end.
Even now, she could see a plethora of people standing before her mansion’s gate, hoping to deliver the marriage propositions they kept in their hands.
They also saw her leave, their mouths turning agape. However, did they dare to stop her from leaving?
Absolutely not because they knew she was close with the Emperor of Death, the sole reason their families were intent on having her hand in marriage. Although they didn’t know how close she was to the Emperor of Death, they didn’t dare try poking the hive to know how close she was, afraid that they might be erased out of existence.

The Disciplinary Hall and the Patrol Hall were also fiercely protecting anyone related to the Emperor of Death, so they dared not do anything smart either.
They continued to stay before the mansion’s gates obediently while Lucia swaggered her way out like a swan.
Her mood was at an all-time high as she traversed in the air to the Mortal Hex Emperor Purple Palace, stopping for a moment as she admired its magnificence.
Simultaneously, she couldn’t help but sigh at that little brat who was no taller than her when they first met. Even at that time, she could tell that he was talented but primarily cautious. Now, he had gone far and beyond, leaving them in the dust as he became an infamous yet reliable and upholding figure, making her feel complicated but mostly nostalgic.
Lucia’s lips curved into an expectant smile. She flew forwards and entered the top floor’s entrance, whereupon she found a dark-winged wolf staring at her with purplish-golden eyes.
“Nadia…”
Her smile became stiff, wondering if the wolf recognized her.
“Master is waiting for you~ Follow me.”
“Yes, please.”
Lucia’s smile became more spread as she followed the wolf, admiring Nadia’s wings and elegance greatly. Just the way Nadia walked had an inherent charm to it, making her believe that she was truly regal, of royal nature, as she came to know more about the world and the magical beasts.
However, what she didn’t know was that Nadia was no longer King-Tier but an Emperor-Tier Magical Beast. The two couldn’t be spoken of on the same level.
Soon, she arrived before a hall and sat on the sofa obediently, waiting for him while Nadia returned to the entrance, guarding the palace.
Lucia didn’t seem hasty, but the silence and the spacious hall made her feel a bit of unease. She had changed her seating position numerous times in a short few minutes, and only then did she realize that she was quite nervous.
For what reason could Davis call her?

‘It couldn’t be that he suddenly developed an interest in me, right?’
Feeling that it wasn’t possible, she leaned on the sofa and relaxed like a queen, no longer looking anxious.
“Ah. Lucia, you finally arrived…”
At this time, Davis walked to the hall from the other side of the pathway, his face holding a mysterious smile, while Lucia instantly stood up.
“You’re the one who is late, Davis.”
“Sigh, don’t mention it. Just as I called you, a guest arrived, so I’m currently in a meeting with an immortal.”
“Hehe- Huh?”
Lucia’s laughter stopped halfway as she realized the meaning of his words.
He was in a meeting with an immortal? What kind of encounter was that?
Another reason the Alstreim Family’s morale was sky high was that the rumors that they also had an immortal with them became prevalent, almost taken as the truth. Therefore, she knew the Calamity Light’s changes, but Davis was in meeting with another immortal?
“Ah… then I better leave. I don’t want to disturb you…”
Lucia smiled awkwardly, knowing she wasn’t anywhere near helping him deal with an immortal.

“Don’t go. I’ll be back soon. Just look around or play to your heart’s content until then.”
“Truly?”
“Yeah, just make sure to not disturb the ones in cultivation.”
“Awesome~”
“Good. I see you’re no longer dull.”
“Thanks to you~”
The both of them deeply smiled, but Lucia felt the most heartened.
It was a long time since she had met him, after all. She remembered it was the time when he married Shirley, the top disciple of the Burning Phoenix Ridge. Although it could be said to be recent, she hadn’t talked much with him, so she feared that they had become distant, but looking at it now, she was heartened that he was the same person, easygoing and caring.
Davis smirked and left, but as he disappeared, his voice echoed from a distance.
“Today is really an important day for you, so don’t leave.”
“…”
Lucia couldn’t help but blink.
Important day for her? What was that supposed to mean?
Her mind revolved, but she could not find any other reason other than that he could be interested in her. What else could she be useful for? For a mission of some sort that required her expertise that she had no idea about?
‘Wait… don’t tell me he’s playing matchmaking…’
Lucia’s eyes trembled, wondering if someone powerful had their eyes on her or if she was just being used as a part of the family to be sent to some immortals. However, she was sure Davis wouldn’t do the latter because that was just the person he was, caring and protective.
Even if he was trying to use her, she knew he would seek her opinion first, like when he helped her come out of her depression. Just as she was thinking how important this day could be, she caught sight of a two-meter-long object placed in the center of the hall.
‘Huh…? Was that even here…?’
Lucia recognized that it was a casket, but the moment she did, her pupils dilated. Her legs couldn’t help but unwittingly move, arriving before the casket.
She finally stood before it, her expression appearing vacant as she looked through the glass.
“Glyn…”
Two tears fell from her eyes as her lips moved. She stared at him with a vacant expression on her face before she raised her head and smiled while biting her lips as she looked away, tears flowing without a stop.
“Even after so many years, you still have that smile… you bastard…”
However, a few minutes later, her knees went limp as she touched the casket’s glass, her soft hands trailing over his face.
“Why did you… leave me…?”
After a long pause, she opened her mouth again.
“It’s been so many years, but did you know that I always… loved you?”
She closed her eyes and silently sobbed but unbeknownst to her, the corpse’s fingers in the casket trembled ever so lightly as though it couldn’t wait to spring up and grab her.
