Chapter 1338 - Breaking It Open

"Was it scary for you, Freya?" Davis asked with an amused smile.

Freya adorably nodded her head while s.h.i.+rley interjected, "Sect Master is known to be the person with the most Burning Phoenix Blood Essence, and by most, I mean the quality of blood essence. Otherwise, she might turn into a fey or die."

"Therefore, it is natural that Freya would be scared of Sect Master as the quality of Burning Phoenix Blood that Sect Master possesses is more than herself."

"What about the other Grand Elders? Will Freya become scared of them too?" Davis pursed his lips in doubt.

s.h.i.+rley smilingly shook her head, "They are not like Sect Master in consuming the Burning Phoenix Blood to their near limit. If they aren"t able to turn into a fey, they will die after all."

Davis blinked, "Are there Feys here?"

s.h.i.+rley nodded her head, "Yes... many, actually..."

"Oh, are they existing due to overdose of blood essence or..." Davis raised his brows, believing that s.h.i.+rley got his intent.

However, a blush appeared on her face as she looked away.

"Both, but although it is said that a progeny between magical beasts and humans are no longer capable of being born, it is said some still secretly make love with their Burning Phoenix Magical Beast Companion even though it is still frowned upon..."

"!!!"

Davis"s non-existent heart almost leaped out of his throat as he recalled his Nadia. He couldn"t help but ask.

"What do you think about them?"

"Disgusting..."

s.h.i.+rley"s lips moved as she instantly answered while Davis"s heart gradually fell, but her lips continued to move.

"... is what everyone says, but I think as long as there is love between the two, whether it be a human male and a magical beast female or vice versa, I think it is lovely..."

However, she suddenly froze as she became s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to Davis"s gaze. She quickly grabbed Freya.

"I mean... look at Freya... Even though she"s a magical beast, look how human she is... the emotions she displays in her eyes and voice... It"s the same as us!"

Davis blinked at s.h.i.+rley"s outburst as she became quiet and lowered her head.

"Am I wrong to think this way...?"

s.h.i.+rley uttered with a bit of shame, thinking that she had messed up by revealing these needless thoughts.

"No...!"

Davis heavily shook his head.

His stiff face didn"t reveal that much, but he was inwardly jumping in joy! He didn"t think that a person from the Grand Sea Continent would say this! After all, the magical beasts there don"t transform into humans as the Earth Rank Species present there were null!

In that place, relationsh.i.p.s with magical beasts were considered taboo! And yet, s.h.i.+rley, after coming to the First Layer and living in it for more than six years, had changed her preconceived notions. However, Davis also believed that she could think like this because she nurtured Freya all by herself.

"You"re quite the romanticist, huh...?" Davis uttered with a heartened smile.

"Haha, everyone back home says that a lot..."

s.h.i.+rley recalled her fun times back at her Imperial Palace while she relaxed seeing Davis accepting this viewpoint of hers. Otherwise, she might"ve been seen as a pervert by him for having a heretical opinion like this! It wouldn"t have been suspicious if Davis thought she belonged to the wicked path!

Because only the wicked path dares to openly act on their d.e.s.i.r.es. Of course, there are wicked path people who don"t like it as well, and if she thought it like that, the righteous and wicked path also has a similar view in this s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e matter.

"s.h.i.+rley..."

"Ah, yes..!" s.h.i.+rley came out of her reverie as she looked at him.

She wondered what he was going to say about her as he looked like he was going to break something to her!

Could it be that he no longer liked her for having this half-hearted opinion?

Her lips began to quiver as she looked at his face, "What...?"

Davis had his lips pursed before he no longer hesitated.

"I love a magical beast as well..."

s.h.i.+rley"s crimson lips stopped quivering as she blinked.

"Her name is Nadia, and she"s a Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf..."

Her mouth became agape as her face began to tremble.

"We"ve been together for more than five years already, and she"s lovely and gorgeous that I was unable to keep my mind and heart away from her. I became conscious of her and fell in love, but we"ve only progressed to the point of kissing..."

Looking at Davis pour his emotions out; s.h.i.+rley looked utterly flabbergasted. Two words escaped from her crimson lips as her expression changed.

"You pervert..."

Davis"s expression froze.

"... is what Evelynn and the others would say, so you didn"t say all this to them...?" s.h.i.+rley asked as she pursed her lips.

Davis heaved a sigh, "Stop talking in intervals, s.h.i.+rley..."

s.h.i.+rley wryly giggled while Davis couldn"t help but nod his head.

"Yeah, a pervert is okay as they already know that I am one, but I don"t want them to see me as a deviant. I have no idea how I could change their preconceived notions. That c.r.a.p is hard to erase, and I say this because I have many of them, and it remains troublesome to erase them at least until I"m beaten black and blue..."

Davis uttered with a helpless sigh as he held s.h.i.+rley"s shoulders, his black eyes gleaming with a sharp glint.

"Do you accept our relations.h.i.+p?"

"Of course, I do... Didn"t I just say that...?" s.h.i.+rley became rather flabbergasted at his forcefulness.

Was he expecting that much of an acceptance from her? From them, his wives? She couldn"t help but smile as this made her truly feel that she was important to him. Otherwise, would he have asked for her opinion instead of doing as he liked?

She faintly licked her crimson lips, finding him cute as she opened her mouth.

"Do you want me to break it to them and convince them or vice versa?"

Davis blinked before he shook his head, "That"s not the point. I"ve just made them accept Sophie and Niera, so before I tell them about Nadia, I think I need to leave them some s.p.a.ce. Otherwise, I would"ve broken it to them long ago as they"re rather understanding, or should I say, forgiving of me..."

He wryly smiled at the end of the sentence.

"I see..."

s.h.i.+rley nodded his head, understanding his reasoning.

"I wish you become one with Nadia later, after me, of course..."

She widely smiled while Davis shook his head.

*Crack!~*

A sound of a vase suddenly breaking echoed as they turned their heads to look at the source and saw a newcomer.

"Ah! I didn"t mean to intrude...!"

A melodious yet panicked voice echoed as Esvele saw Davis holding down s.h.i.+rley as if they were going to kiss. She quickly pounced down and cleaned the surface with a wave of her hands, scooping the vase"s broken pieces into her spatial ring. She was about to run away from the corridor when an amused voice echoed.

"Esvele, did you forget that this Chu Feng over here is a soul body? Don"t worry, we won"t do anything suspicious..."

Esvele froze as her bosoms shook along with her. She turned around, revealing an embarra.s.sed expression, "Hehe... My bad..."

She walked towards them, looking at the blue-haired young man with sharp black eyes, but she knew that it was Davis as she had heard their plan before.

She arrived before them before she noticed Freya"s wide smile that targeted her bosoms. She jerked before harrumphing.

"Hmph! Not today, Freya..."

Freya dejectedly lowered her head, appearing as if she was rejected.

"Hehe..."

While s.h.i.+rley giggled at their bond, Davis"s eyes flashed red for a moment.

"Wait a minute... Isn"t the red patches on Esvele"s Karma Thread connected to s.h.i.+rley a bit more prominent than before...?"

Davis was a bit flabbergasted as to why it was growing...

Did something good happen yesterday? Perhaps, s.h.i.+rley remained kind to Esvele and gave her resources again. However, he was unaware that s.h.i.+rley ruthlessly a.s.saulted Esvele for attracting his gaze away from her, fondling those big mounds to her heart"s content.

"Fortunately, the color she has towards me is blue of friendliness and loyalty, mostly the latter, I guess..."

Davis inwardly sighed while he did not seem to be bothered by Esvele"s ambiguous emotions towards s.h.i.+rley. He didn"t even perceive her as a threat. Moreover, both s.h.i.+rley and Esvele were not the type to do that. He felt the red patches from Esvele would gradually disappear with time anyway, and even if it did not, he was not particularly bothered.

Women on women were something he did not dislike but had not particularly enjoyed either, although he appreciated the sight of it in his previous life as it was enjoyable.

"Davis, I find these moments extremely enjoyable. I hope you stay for a few years like this with me..."

"Isn"t that why I am here?" Davis raised his brows, "Ellia is surely safe with her other incarnation"s wits and ruthlessness, so I think I can wait until I finish the matters I"m busy with... Nevertheless, until then, this avatar would mostly be with you."

"Wonderful!"

s.h.i.+rley trembled with excitement before she screamed.

"Then... tomorrow, see me battle! I"ll be sure to make you proud!"

"Haha..." Davis chuckled at her enthusiasm, "Very well. I"ll be watching you at a close distance as your protector. Use your powers as you please, except the Fire Phoenix Flames, of course. If you did, the Sect Master would be rather p.i.s.sed off..."

s.h.i.+rley nodded, "Yes, she already told me to not use it during the battles."

"However, if you feel the need to use it-"

"No, I won"t use it." s.h.i.+rley cut him short as she shook her head, "It"s the same as throwing aphrodisiac in all the men"s eyes here. If there ever came a situation where I would have to reveal it, then I"d have to make my escape..."

"I see..." Davis pursed his lips before he recalled something and sent a soul transmission.

"Wait a minute... Didn"t you just pa.s.s the King Grade Trial that only awards a King Grade Cultivation Manual? How can you reach the Eighth Stage with it?"

s.h.i.+rley"s face blushed with a hint of bashfulness upon hearing his question.

"That"s... The Fire Phoenix Immortal is already in favor of me inheriting, so it imbued my mind with the Low-Level Emperor Grade version of the manual that I know it by heart..."

"Oh..."

Davis became rather flabbergasted at the Fire Phoenix Immortal.

No, it could be said that he was exasperated with these Immortals. They acted as they pleased, and even the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin was lazy and carefree enough to award him just the complete manual. He wasn"t finding fault with them but realized again that there was no fairness in the world.

Even though it is cruel, lives are not equal.

A baby born in a mortal family could never be compared to a baby born in an Emperor Grade Family... They both have different resources to grow with, play with and interact with, so their lives could never be counted as equal or the same!

As for those who cried out for fairness when they could clearly see this a.n.a.logy, they were clearly fools who would die first or suffer in the real world, especially the cultivation world!

"Davis, I"ve been holding back from saying this, but..."

"Can I go make a breakthrough now? I really want to show those people that they should not mess with me as well as make you awed by my figure..."

s.h.i.+rley fidgeted as she spoke.

Davis blinked, slowly realizing that he was obstructing her cultivation. He felt that he should"ve realized! Her Essence Gathering Cultivation was already rather solidified that she was ready to break through to the next level, except she had been distracted by him since yesterday!

"Okay, okay... I won"t disturb you anymore, but are you sure that you can finish breaking through before the compet.i.tion begins?"

He had already wasted too much of her time that he couldn"t help but feel bad.

"Mhm!"

s.h.i.+rley nodded her head with a confident expression on her face.

"Just wait for me!"

Davis merely smiled as he saw her float and fly away back to her room. When he looked towards the side, Esvele had already run away and disappeared from the hall, making him blink while the little Freya was looking at him curiously.

He grinned as he asked, "How are those big bosoms of your favorite Esvele?"

Freya raised her hand and gave a thumbs-up as she equally grinned, "Heavenly..."

"Right? My Evelynn"s are also heavenly..."

Davis looked as if he found a woman of culture and began to spend time chit-chatting with the little Burning Phoenix.
