Chapter 1959: Limiting Oneself?
Natalya quickly returned and reported to Davis the results of her 'infiltration' into the Jade Lotus Valley, leaving nothing out as she explained concisely.
Evelynn and the others were also there, listening to her recollection.
"I see." After Natalya finished, Davis nodded, "Well done, Natalya. So you weren't able to know if she's truly Old Man Garvin's descendant or not but still gave her the spatial ring?"
Natalya wryly smiled.
"Yes, did I mess up somehow?"
"Not at all." Davis shrugged, "If she alerts the Emperor Sword Sect or the Jade Lotus Valley, that's good too. I can kill her without showing mercy as there would be no misunderstanding."
"I thought so." Natalya grinned, "You didn't tell me to do anything other than to give her that spatial ring, so I assumed that you wanted to probe her actions after she obtained it. After all, even if she's a descendant of your teacher, she wouldn't necessarily be willing to enact vengeance and could even reveal that information. Besides, you're already strong enough that you don't need hypocritical reasons to kill the Shard Family and its allies with your overwhelming power. You can just state the reason after you kill them, and no one would bat an eye."
Davis became pleasantly surprised.
"As expected of my second wife, you're becoming smarter and smarter."
"Hehe~ It's not smarts. I've been with you for so many years. If I don't understand you this much, then I should just commit sui-"
Natalya hurriedly closed her mouth, looking innocent, while Davis glared at her. Evelynn and the others glared at her as well, as they knew that If this kind of joke came from Natalya, she would be crazy enough to do it.
Nonetheless, Davis decided not to make it a big deal as it was just one of her jokes, so he hurriedly changed the topic to not make it awkward.
"Still, was it necessary for you to leave Ivy Aries with such a misunderstanding?" He asked Natalya.
But once he said it, the glares Natalya received shot towards him, causing him to feel that he buried himself in his own coffin that he hurriedly continued.
"I sent her a marriage proposal? What a farce. Why doesn't she say that she's the number one beauty of the whole world instead?"
Davis couldn't help but scoff. The nerve of that woman to think that she received his favor. Was his love really so cheap now?
'Okay maybe it has become cheap...'
Davis instantly thought about it, becoming flabbergasted before obediently shutting his mouth.
"I don't know about the others, but I felt that her character is straightforward and cheerful, although she does carry some burden. That Rayn Shard seemed like scum from Ivy Aries's words, so I felt it would be better to save her and also gain the beauty. After all, she has a unique physique. If someone deserves her, it's you."
Natalya pointed at his face with such conviction that Davis felt like crying, now knowing whether to be happy or sad as the intensity of the glares increased.
Nonetheless, he appeared righteous and patted his stomach.
"Natalya, I appreciate your concern, but as you can see, I'm full and can't eat anymore."
"Shameless!"
"And also a liar. His stomach is probably wide enough to fit a whole mansion full of mistresses."
Niera jumped, and Mingzhi commented, the latter having her expression full of disdain.
Davis readied himself for round two of a lecture while the newcomers like Zestria, Dalila, Tanya, and Bylai were silent as they felt that it was their fault. They had no words to offer and felt a bit embarrassed amidst the big sisters when they lectured Davis for being a womanizer.
However, looking at Davis, unable to defend against their united assault, one woman caved as though she melted.
"You actually, we will not limit you, but you should take it slow..."
Everyone's expression couldn't help but slightly change as they heard Isabella. Then, their derisive expressions deflated. How could Isabella reveal their collective decision for him like this?
"Isabella, if you keep encouraging him like this, then no one can stop him." Evelynn couldn't help but sigh as she shook her head.
"It's fine. I trust husband to make the right decisions."
Isabella wryly smiled before Shirley suddenly uttered.
"Besides, Zestria, Bylai, Tanya, and Dalila they were all suggested by us if all you haven't forgotten. Without our consent, he really wouldn't have taken them. Oh, I apologize if I was rude."
Shirley looked towards the newcomers as she apologetically gestured, causing them to shake their heads.
"No! It's only natural..."
Bylai spoke before she smiled, "I'm I'm really grateful to be accepted as one of you. This kind of conversation with an open heart is new to me, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes. Furthermore, please don't blame him. If anything, you can say that we were too sinful to seduce him."
Zestria, Tanya, and Dalila blushed, but they didn't say anything, agreeing with Bylai. On the other hand, the big sisters all raised their brows, glancing at Davis, looking away and whistling as though this matter didn't concern him, although he felt inwardly moved by Bylai's words.
He really had them dancing between his palms, huh? And then they suddenly thought to themselves and inwardly face-palmed.
Weren't they the same?
For a moment, silence reigned.
Evelynn and the others knew that they had a voice only because he gave them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to state their opinion or berate him like this. Still, it was also their duty as his women to keep his ever-growing lust for women in check. They fed him with their own type of delicacies, and it should also be they who put a stop to it if it reaches a certain limit. That's what they discussed when Davis wasn't there.
However, Bylai wasn't aware of this matter, so she spoke up for Davis, making them look like villainesses who suppressed him. However, they didn't blame her.
They could only smile at Bylai, seeing their own image in her, the image of a foolish woman hopelessly in love.
"Mhm. Did I say something wrong?" Looking at everyone go silent, Bylai couldn't help but ask.
"No, nothing wrong~" Mingzhi couldn't help but giggle as she slapped Davis's arm.
"Count yourself lucky."
She wasn't playing this game anymore if this wasn't worth teasing Davis over. Instead, she went over to Fiora and began teasing her.
"..."
Davis looked at them all leave his side. He instantly became desolate like a withered tree.
Nonetheless, it worked in his favor.
The women began to talk about something else, so having nothing to do, Davis slipped away, intending to see Ellia's battle. Strangely, all of them stayed back, not coming with him as he would've expected at least one of them to tag along.
'Well, my harem council is growing stronger and stronger each day...'
Davis smilingly thought before he shrugged. He trusted that they would allow him to do what he wanted when he really wanted. For example, they didn't say no to Lea even though she was many times older than them. However, they said no to the Poison Mistress because of her mannerisms and the scanty way she dressed, not to mention that they knew that she was a wicked person and also a virgin.
He could tell that they wouldn't accept anyone with no morals, and neither would he, so he wasn't bothered with them berating him for having loose morals because he felt he deserved those insults. Even his mother no longer said anything, probably knowing he wouldn't take no for an answer. Maybe she was disappointed with this aspect of his, but that was just who he was.
After coming this far, he couldn't change it. He could only relish his women and try to limit himself. After all, he really did mean it when he meant that he was full. His appetite was big this time, so he wanted to close his heart as long as he could, except he wasn't sure of himself because that was the price to admiring good-natured, beautiful women.
As for fiends like the Poison Mistress, he wouldn't even want to go near them no matter how beautiful they were. In this, he was sure of himself. After all, he still remembered how he ruthlessly killed Infernal Lightning Emperor's prized daughter with a flick of his finger. Even now, he remembered her beauty that was sexy as the current Evelynn's, totally in his strike zone, but he was able to kill her because he possessed no feelings for her and was fated to be enemies since he was determined to kill her father.
Only with this was he able to determine that he wasn't completely hopeless. Even without their words, he knew to limit himself whenever possible. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just the women he loved and wanted to love.
A man's lust knew no bounds, after all.
Davis shook his head and started thinking about Zestria, Dalila, Tanya, and Bylai. Since they entrusted their lives and hearts to him, he would make sure they soar along with him just like the others.
As he thought about his future with them and their cultivations, he saw Myria's name appear from the ranking projection.
Instantly, his gaze moved and matched with Myria's. She raised her hand and waved towards him before moving towards the battle stage.
"Ellia"
A moved voice couldn't help but escape his mouth as he saw her gesture, knowing for a fact that it was definitely Ellia.
