Chapter 4225 The Children

Chapter 4225 The Children

After dual cultivating with Stella for over four days, he could finally leave.

He teleported himself to his seclusion chamber. He was able to travel great distances by opening a spatial tunnel, but in this space, he also reigned supreme, along with Stella, because he ate her golden fruit.

Therefore, he could simply teleport anywhere he wanted, and if he infused his soul sense within the space, he could spy on anyone or anywhere within the mini-realm. Evidently, Stella could always do this but with his soul sense, he could be much more undetectable.

After freshening up, taking a good bath, and sleeping for a solid hour, he went out to join his children.

He made his way to their time chamber.

It was a big chamber, but inside, space was expanded over a thousandfold using formations. There was also a temporal formation that sped time up to thirty times. Anyone who was an Immortal King or below could use this space.

Hence, the hallway before this was also established with a time chamber that's two or three times faster. This is where Shea and other mothers who hadn't reached the Empyrean Stage in prowess waited for their children to come out so that they could feed and take care of them.

In other words, the big chamber was a giant playground but also a study-oriented space like a school, and the mothers waited outside the gates for lunch break or for the school to end. Of course, the children enrolled in this time chamber had already grown up, so they could eat by themselves or be fed by the teachers inside, like Ancestor Cornelia or his mother.

Therefore, the ones outside also didn't need to be so accommodating to the children.

Once Davis arrived, he saw Shea.

It seemed like she was always here, making him slap her ass, invoking a wonderful reaction from her.

He then engaged in a conversation with her as she said that the children would be outside in twenty minutes. Although they could see what was happening inside with a contraption made for that purpose, he couldn't go inside. Otherwise, the temporal formation would break without a failsafe, and even space might develop cracks a bit as it would be incapable of taking his powerful presence.

The same went for others.

However, with his spatial comprehension, Davis was confident that he could be a pillar for the space. Therefore, space wasn't a problem, but time certainly was.

Nonetheless, he didn't even notice the time passing by while talking with Shea when, abruptly, a few figures appeared out of the spatial vortex that was affixed to the door. The door wasn't to be opened, or the acceleration would stop at that time.

"Father!~"

Aurelia was the first one to notice while the others were busy talking amongst themselves. Her melodious voice resounded, startling the others. Before anyone could move, Aurelia rushed towards Davis and jumped towards him.

"Aurelia!"

Davis caught her and spun her around with incomparable joy. All the doubts he had vanished upon seeing his daughter's face, the daughter he had with Sophie. He brought her closer and embraced her, kissing her cheeks multiple times while Shea smiled in a silly manner.

"Father!~"

The others also shouted and surrounded him. The girls didn't bother with any gazes and jumped towards him, holding onto him. The boys looked a bit excited but looked like they were unable to do anything since their sisters had already taken over their father.

Davis held Aurelia in his arms and looked at the others.

He swore this pipsqueak hadn't even crossed the Fourth Stage, the Body Transformation Stage yet, just having started his cultivation. After all, cultivation was banned until they reached five years old.

"Understandable." Davis could only say this with a wry smile.

Because they were too powerful and talented, their choices were endless. He hoped that they wouldn't make a mistake in their early years as that would delay their path.

Nonetheless, he turned to the smallest of the bunch, Lucian, who had been clutching the hem of Eterna's robe. "And what about you, my little one?"

Lucian looked down. He had never really been able to meet his father's gaze as he felt it was too scary, but Davis understood why because Lucian was a kind child who was guilty of his own physique and was capable of harming other people and burdening others a lot.

He was an immortal child, so although he didn't train from the First Stage to the Ninth Stage, he was as strong as Azariel and Viridia at the moment. His Immortal Vessel slowly develops along with him, but the physique may rapidly boost his cultivation if it starts going out of control.

"I... I want to live like an ordinary man, live a normal life, get a wife, and start a family..."

"..."

Davis went speechless as he heard Lucian's answer.

The other children laughed, making Lucian blush heavily, but he clenched his teeth.

"You wouldn't understand what it's like to be burning every few days. Cultivation sucks! It hurts!"

Lucian yelled out. He was about to escape, but Davis caught him by his wrist and brought him into his embrace.

"There, there... Lucian. All is fine. Cultivation does indeed suck, but it is what saves us in the end, saves you."

Davis caressed Lucian's head as he cried in his chest, "I know you've been working hard and enduring the pain. Even the teachers and Mother Shea say you're all diligent children."

He spread his arms wide, "Come here, everyone. Don't make fun of your little brother. He's an immortal kid but needs much more warmth as he feels left out."

Sheria instantly responded to his words and hugged Lucian and him. Eterna, Celestia, Aurelia, Viridia, and finally, Azariel also enveloped him in a warm embrace.

Davis held them tightly, feeling their small forms against him, their giggles and cries filling the air.

For a moment, Davis forgot about everything—his responsibilities, the outside world, the battles he had fought and needed to fight. He repeatedly kissed their foreheads, and even Lucian looked to have warmed up to him at this moment.

Right now, he could feel he was just a father, surrounded by his beloved children.

And he felt that was enough.

"Alright, screw studies. Let's go play!"

"Yay!~"

With the children responding enthusiastically, Davis brought them away and took them outside to play with them.
