Chapter 1624 - Collectiveness
Davis and Mo Mingzhi spent the remaining day in bed, seemingly l.u.s.ting for each other a long time, even after they tried to end their session. In the end, only after that day ended and the sun rose did they come out.
While Davis had a refreshed smile on his face, Mo Mingzhi felt extremely shy that she hoped that she doesn't run into anyone else.
This was her first time, yet she spent a full day with him dual cultivating? She felt that it was crazy.
However, Davis now held her hand and took her to the hall where his women seemed to have gathered on his call.
Just around the corner, they could've gathered, so she clenched her teeth and stuck herself to Davis, pus.h.i.+ng her plentiful bosoms towards his arm.
Davis felt her softness as he smiled. She was truly lovey-dovey with him but, at the same time, extremely provocative on the bed.
He turned around the corner and instantly smelt a plethora of fragrances, making it a wonderful paradise for him.
Evelynn, Natalya, Isabella, Fiora, Sophie, Niera, s.h.i.+rley, and Tina Roxley were all gathered. Clara was there too since he specifically called her, but he did not expect to see Tia here. Nevertheless, he walked towards them with Mo Mingzhi arm in arm.
"Welcome, Mingzhi. You have truly become one of us now." Evelynn greeted with a pleasant smile on her face.
"Uhm... thanks."
Mo Mingzhi became slightly taken aback by these enormous presences in front of her.
It was a bit intimidating to be in front of Evelynn, Isabella, and s.h.i.+rley. Although she said that she would try her best to catch up to Davis, cultivation-wise, she knew that these three were stronger than him.
But Evelynn welcoming her was truly good news. Last time, she thought that she had offended the first wife by making fun of Davis, but it looks like she hadn't taken it to heart. It seemed like it was only uttered in the light that she become his woman to be perceived with an amicable gaze. After all, they didn't seem to put on airs against each other for the most part.
"Mingzhi, you got one over us that night. That was so shrewd of you~" Fiora couldn't help but giggle, causing Mo Mingzhi's expression to become a shade of red, but she acted bold, her lips turning into a curve.
"Don't worry. I'll get one over you again and again until I have Davis all to myself."
"Ah! That's cheating~"
Fiora abruptly appeared beside Mo Mingzhi and grabbed her from him. However, she was shocked to see Mo Mingzhi appear strong enough to withstand her pressure before she finally understood.
"Hoho~ It looks like you have absorbed a lot of benefits?~"
Mo Mingzhi's ears almost let out steam as her expression became a full shade of crimson that she fell and curled herself up.
"Ahh~ Stop teasing me~"
"Ahahah!~"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh at her. They all took Mo Mingzhi to one side, bragging about how she missed their gathering, while Mo Mingzhi was shocked to hear that she missed such an important event. If she didn't know the specifics, she would definitely get estranged from her new sisters.
However, they were kind enough to summarize what they discussed, wholeheartedly inviting her into their group.
Meanwhile, Davis headed towards Clara and glanced at Tia, looking at her slightly turn her head away to avoid his gaze.
'Okay...'
That was awkward, he thought before looking at his little sister.
"Clara, did you actually find a new way to enter Earth from the Towering Cloud Hall?"
Clara shook her head, brus.h.i.+ng her beautiful blonde hair to the side.
"I found a way from Earth's Devil Sea to the Towering Cloud Hall Territory."
Davis's lips twitched as he felt that it was needless to reiterate that, but he still nodded.
"As expected, it seems like Seventh Stage Experts are allowed inside that mysterious barrier. Then, what did you find in the Devil Sea? An island?"
"Yes, there was this lone island that was seething with heaven and earth energy. There were even a mountain of moderate quality spirit stones and a bunch of unknown stones that I felt could interact with my soul, although I was only able to send a strand of it inside."
"Oh, that must be the Transmigration Stone. So you can only send a strand in it?"
Davis saw Clara nod as he contemplated.
"Looks like its only beneficial to mortals, capable of strengthening their souls. On the other hand, your soul was extremely difficult for it to even digest that it only accepted a strand."
"Did you check out the other eleven vile vortices?"
"I did check the one in the Indus Valley Civilization, and I actually ended up in the Eastern Magical Beast Territories."
"What!?"
"Fortunately, the spatial tunnel is well hidden, so after confirming that it was a Territory to the east of Golden Dragon Valley Territory, I went back to Earth and re-entered the Grand Sea Continent. Then, I waited for s.h.i.+rley to accept the inheritance before entering the Devil Sea Island's spatial tunnel with her, finally coming to heal brother's soul as we exited a hidden spatial tunnel in a mountainous expanse that's now under our control with the help of sister-in-law Isabella."
Davis's mouth was slightly agape at this little sister's bravery and fearlessness. He was both angered and proud, worrying for her safety while also feeling proud of her achievement. She was quite the daring person, knowing that she could meet a tragic fate when traversing those spatial gates.
Moreover, it seemed as like two of the twelve vile vortices connected to opposite sides on the map as far as he could tell?
Did that mean that there were ten other spatial tunnels leading to the Fifty-Two Territories in the other ten vile vortices?
Nevertheless, he clenched his teeth and uttered, "Never... do that... again."
Clara blinked.
Usually, she would get a mouthful of lectures and was even prepared, but it seems like she was pardoned quickly?
She was about to shake her head when Davis placed both his hands on her shoulders.
"I can't lose you, Clara. You're my lovely little fairy, right?"
"..."
"Okay..."
Davis inwardly smirked as he felt that his coaxing worked. He knew that his little sister was susceptible to gentle words rather than forceful ones from the past. Now, this way, she would at least hold back from recklessly encountering dangers, although he felt like he owed much to her for saving him this time by getting s.h.i.+rley.
Without Clara, he could plainly see that the hurdle was even bigger, and she... she even tried to...
Davis shut his brain down as he smiled at her.
"Good. That's my Clara."
He left her side and headed towards his bevy of beauties.
Tia glanced at his back before stared at Clara's expression. She then moved her gaze away, wondering what was happening. She didn't know about Clara's determination to sacrifice her innocence to save her brother, so she really found it odd that Clara was glowing with a light smile.
The ones who did know didn't reveal it to the others to protect Clara's virtue.
During these days, Tia stayed with this clear-headed, superior, prideful woman that she admired just like she admired Davis. Even back in the Grand Sea Continent, she followed her around, so she knew that Clara wasn't easily moved. Nevertheless, it at least made her aware that the little sister cared about the big brother as much as the big brother did for the little sister to brave the dangers of the unknown.
Magical Beast Territories to the east? She hadn't even heard of their names yet!
'And also the mystical and isolated Spirit Territories to the northeast...'
She lamented, feeling that she must strive hard in order to foresee dangers with her Karmic Guardian Physique. Now, she didn't even have the face to see Davis as she wasn't able to pick up the danger that threatened his life.
In these seven months, there wasn't a day that had pa.s.sed without her blaming herself until Davis woke up, soothing her pained heart greatly.
If she could've only seen it coming... but the Whisper of Fate Phenomenon was no longer there, and it was now all up to her cultivation to stimulate her Karmic Guardian Physique.
Only if she grew in cultivation would she also be able to see these dangers.
While walking towards them, Davis suddenly stopped.
He felt that being merry with his harem was well and good, but those actions were reserved for a time of peace. He once again reiterated to his mind that he was in a state of war, clearing the silk pants mindset away from his thoughts.
His eyes widened for a moment before he went towards a corner and called out Isabella, Evelynn, and s.h.i.+rley. They arrived before him without giving a second thought while Davis seriously asked.
"Isabella, have you checked what I wanted to know?"
"Yes. I checked the spatial rings of Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross and Soul Empress Merlight. However, I couldn't find anything related to darkness in one's soul. Perhaps, we can only find it in the Soul Palace's Library."
Davis nodded his head, appearing to be not surprised.
"What about the Soul Palace's current status?"
Isabella continued.
"Like all powers, the Soul Palace that reigned for so many centuries along with the Four Great Righteous Sects is seemingly in its period of decline. Both Soul Empress Merlight and Soul Emperor Zealwonder, which is Old Man Yorhan is estimated to die within a few centuries, leaving their fleshly bodies to live as souls for a long period of time, around thirty thousand years, like the High-Level Soul Emperor Lightrain who is said to be in that state, his status of life and death unknown."
"Other than these three, there was Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross who have yet to receive a t.i.tle and his senior, Soul Emperor Elusivemist, who is at Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage. In total, there were five of them, of which it is said that Soul Emperor Lightrain died in the pursuit against Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross when the latter's crimes were revealed, although it hadn't been confirmed yet. Therefore, it could be said that there's a chance that there are three Soul Emperors in the Soul Palace."
"We ended Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross and Soul Empress Merlight, so..." Davis asked as he gestured.
"Yes." Isabella shrugged as she confirmed, "We only have two or three Soul Emperors to deal with..."
"Not a problem." Davis smirked, "However, you all gotta stay and protect this territory, my territory."
"Well, if I try to go out, you probably all wouldn't let me go anyway..." s.h.i.+rley shrugged.
"You don't even need to step out to protect anyone. You just protect our child in your belly, alright?"
Davis's voice was gentle, causing s.h.i.+rley to feel both exasperated and special. She believed that she could still fight properly for a month or two, but she felt that she really shouldn't step out if it was Davis's wish.
"Sigh, since Nadia is following you, I'll reluctantly let you go, Davis." Isabella's lithe shoulders drooped before she smiled, "However, you must take Evelynn with you. Until you are sure, she cannot be seen with us in the Alstreim Family, so it is better that she goes with you. After all, she is the terrorizing Hex Demoness."
Evelynn couldn't help but pout before a smirk appeared on her face.
"Count me in~ The Soul Palace's Yorhan deserves to die for threatening our lives. If it weren't for Davis waking up, they would've been my next target. Fortunately, it seems like they get to live while only having to sacrifice Yorhan's life if they all obediently surrendered."
Davis was about to stop her, but he then grinned as well.
"Sure, I would like to see my first wife's unstoppable prowess that struck fear into the hearts of the Four Great Righteous Sects from making a move."
Evelynn sweetly smiled, seemingly taking pride in her prowess and his praise.
