Chapter 1434 - One Of The Gifts

Davis laughed along with the crowd before he turned to look at his father and mother.

"What do you two think?"

They were smiling, influenced by the crowd, while Logan took this chance to burst out laughing. However, his laughter died down before he deeply grinned.

"Take responsibility, my son..."

Davis"s brows twitched.

Ah, how soon the tables turn...

He could very well see his father thinking like that. Nevertheless, he looked for his mother"s opinion and noticed that she was conflicted.

"I don"t know what to feel, Davis. However, know that your mother will always be behind you even if you make some mistakes. Ah, I did not mean that you made a mistake, but I"m just saying that if you ever make one, I will always be on your side..."

Claire spoke, making Davis feel heartened. Before he could reply...

"What if I made some mistakes?" Logan couldn"t help but interject.

"You get the death sentence...!"

Claira glared as she smiled while Logan cried foul of the unfairness, causing the people in the garden room to laugh again.

Davis also smiled, feeling that this matter that had on his mind had been finally taken down.

He didn"t blame his mother for giving an "I don"t know how to feel" answer because, to Claire, it would"ve meant that he had accepted three women at once when in reality, he formed his relations.h.i.+p with them in these two years.

He had met Sophie two years ago, Niera, a year ago, and Fiora in this last month, out of which he had only made love with Fiora while he had only kissed the other two intimately. However, to his parents and others who came to know, it was no different than him bedding all of them at the same time.

That would make him a loose character with little to no self-discipline. His image probably took a huge hit in his mother"s mind even though she was smiling at him even now.

As Nora always complained that Claire put him on a pedestal, he could see that it was real. She must be feeling disappointed, and Davis didn"t want to feel that using his Heart Intent as he stopped using it. But, unfortunately, he did not get to know that Claire wasn"t disappointed.

She was just confused, wondering why her son had taken so many women all of sudden. She was just worried for his future.

Nevertheless, Davis had another worry in his mind.

If he had said that he loved Nadia, would people begin to see him as a degenerate? They may even find it disgusting for all he knew! He didn"t care about other people, but he didn"t want his parents and wives to think like that. Sometimes, all it would take is a problem to destroy a happy family, and he didn"t want to ignite the fuse at this point.

s.h.i.+rley had accepted it somehow, but he wasn"t foolish enough to believe that these people who hadn"t seen the wider part of the world to accept that he loved Nadia. As far as they thought, magical beasts were no more than pets, mount, food, and resources. The concept of romantically loving magical beasts should be relatively unknown to them, especially to Logan and Evelynn, who had never seen a magical beast transform into a human for the most part of their life until they left the Grand Sea Continent.

Even the others were the same even if they were born here. After all, the only legend they had heard was Mival Silverwind"s legend of loving a fox which is Zanna, but was that enough to change their minds?

Therefore, he promptly decided that this was not a matter to reveal at this occasion where every other person was present. He sent Nadia a soul transmission.

"Nadia, I"m sorry. Unfortunately, I wasn"t able to reveal that I love you as well..."

Nadia, who was chilling near the viridian spirit tree, had her eyes blink before she smiled.

"No need to worry about that, Davis. I"m satisfied just being near you..."

"Nadia..."

Davis felt moved that his emotions almost took hold of him to reveal this matter. However, he kept his calm. There"s a difference between revealing now and revealing later when everyone had a wide view of the world. The timing was important when confessing, and it was the same in business transactions and negotiations, so why would it be any different in this case?

It wasn"t a matter of being courageous or not, as Davis never felt afraid to tell something that he thought was important. Nadia is important to him.

However, if he revealed now, he would be an unwise person, not to mention that he would definitely make people look down on him and lose trust, make them doubt his character. However, he didn"t blame them because he understood that was how the world of cultivators is, highly judgemental, that they just might slit someone"s throat if they didn"t even like the face they were looking at.

"Alright then, I better go back to playing with my other grandson..." Edgar Alstreim, who was also silent all this while, spoke up.

Tia Alstreim and Lia Alstreim hadn"t come. The undulations that erupted here made them aware that they could not possibly handle it. So instead, they stayed safe on the lower floors and were looking after the baby Evan for they had been mingling with Claire and Logan as a family.

"But before that, Davis, know that your grandfather approves of your action. I rather have you take many women as you please than see you be sad because you"re a gift I gained from my precious daughter. However, don"t overuse this perk because I will not be responsible if one of your women decides to kill you. Ahahaha!"

Davis couldn"t help but chuckle while everyone turned to look at Evelynn, laughing at her. He understood that every action had its consequences, and it was just like his grandfather told. He would be careful not to cross the limit lest he destroys the happiness of his own family.

Nothing was promised in life. It was just a matter of choices, self-discipline, and effort. His grandfather funnily relayed an important message to him in his own way, making him inwardly nod his head, further making him convinced that it was best to have kept quiet about Nadia at this moment.

On the other hand...

"Why me...?"

Evelynn felt awkward as they were all looking at her.

Was it because she practiced Poison Laws that she was being pointed, or was it because everyone already knew that she declared that she would kill Davis if he left her?

"Big sister, you"re the one with the most say in how our man should act..."

Sophie reminded, causing Evelynn to feel moved. She looked at Natalya and Fiora and saw them nod with smiles, making her feel moved to tears.

"You all... It"s not like that... You have much say as I do..."

Evelynn uttered as she wiped her tears.

"Big sister, trust me... It is not we who decide that but Davis himself..." Natalya chuckled as she embraced Evelynn.

"Indeed, you deserve that for allowing us to enter and share your s.p.a.ce, big sister..." Fiora uttered.

"You two... Are you taking revenge on me, making me cry?"

Davis was a bit dumbfounded as he looked at his women bond with each other.

How come they are all m.a.t.u.r.e all of a sudden?

Could it be that they understood what kind of sacrifices Evelynn made when she decided to accept them all, accept his selfishness? That was the foremost reason why he always loved her the best!

As for the other, they tacitly left one by one with smiling faces. Soon, the crowd cleared, leaving Davis with his four women, two other race women, and an unnamed viridian spirit tree.

Davis noticed his four women turn to look at him, but he noticed that Sophie hadn"t entered Law Dominion Stage yet.

"Sophie, did Eldia disturb you?" Davis scratched his face as he looked at Eldia.

"Eldia, apologize..."

"Ah no... I reached Level Six Intent in Fire Laws, but I think I still lack the final bout of inspiration..." Sophie shook her head before she awkwardly bit her lips, "I apologize for taking so long. I wasn"t working on creating a Superior Domain, but a Perfect Domain. I need that bout of inspiration to comprehend Level Seven Intent upon breakthrough."

Feeling her cheeks heat up, she lowered her head, "Davis, was I wrong for wanting to create a Perfect Domain? I don"t think I have it in me..."

"What are you saying?"

Davis smilingly narrowed his eyes, "Everyone of us knew that you were aiming to form a Perfect Domain since you took this long. You have Starcy aiding you, who is already an enormous help, so you would definitely be able to form a Perfect Domain as long as you spend more time. There"s no need to rush."

"Davis..."

Sophie felt moved as her purple pupils trembled.

She felt that trying to create a Perfect Domain was her getting overly prideful and arrogant, not knowing her limits. She wanted to be the first woman in the Alstreim Family who had congealed a Perfect Domain but was met with disappointment as she meditated and waited for the inspiration to descend. And then, the sudden foreign undulations freaked her out as everyone else did, and she came to see if everything was okay.

If they hadn"t seen two Ancestors enter, they wouldn"t have entered either for fear of getting killed.

"Actually, I feel that it is fate that you are here. Take this..."

Davis smiled as he reached out his hand. A jade container appeared as she sent it towards Sophie.

Sophie subconsciously grasped the jade container, blinking her eyes, "What is this...?"

The jade container was sealed tightly. No undulations leaked, so she could not even guess what was in there while the other ladies also curiously looked at it. However, they knew that it was going to be something that immensely benefitted Sophie if Davis had brought it out at this time.

"This is the Golden Asparagus Flame Shoot that is capable of vastly increasing your Fire Law Comprehension. At this point, this is a decisive factor that would help you comprehend Level Seven Intent upon breakthrough, and perhaps even Level Eight Intent depending upon your comprehension speed."

"Nevertheless, you might want to take a water or ice-attributed medicinal pill to counter its side effects, but with Natalya additionally helping you circulate the ice energy inside you so that the incompatible energy would not affect the breakthrough and comprehension state, it"ll be more efficient."

Davis spoke his thoughts all at once, causing Sophie to stand there rooted in front of him, looking pretty dumbfounded.
