Chapter 1457 - Both Coming Clean

"I feel that it"s fine even though it"s a bit shocking for me. You and Nadia..."

Isabella shook her head, "I never even imagined it. Do Evelynn and the others already know about this matter?"

"Only you and s.h.i.+rley know." Davis wryly shook his head, "I"m not confident with my chances with them as their horizons aren"t as wide as yours. If you hadn"t said anything about the Earth Dragon Immortal"s Clan, then I would"ve also kept it hidden from you until the right time."

"I understand..." Isabella sighed after a slight pause, "This matter would turn out pretty shocking for them and might flip their views on you. After all, I still find it weird that I think I might have to interact with Nadia more to accept her as one of my sisters."

Davis nodded his head, not offended, "Right, in your eyes, she might still be a magical beast mount that I possessed."

"Nadia..." Isabella called out as she turned to look at her, "What do you think about Davis? Do you love him?"

Nadia blinked a little as her beautiful golden eyes smiled while her rosy lips curved.

"I love Davis as much as you do, Third Mistress. I think everything should belong to him as it should be."

Isabella couldn"t help but blink, looking a bit dumbfounded before she lightly smiled, feeling like she had found a like-minded woman.

"Davis, I think I can become sisters with Nadia sooner than I think..."

Davis"s lips couldn"t help but twitch, "You two literally don"t know what that means..."

"I didn"t mean it in a stinky way like you think, but I meant it in a way that you should become the ruler who stands above all. Isn"t that right, Nadia?"

Isabella deeply smiled while Nadia nodded her head thrice with a wide smile, rendering Davis speechless. These two were looking at him with the same gaze before Isabella spoke up.

"Don"t get me wrong. It"s fine if you don"t want to stand above all, but I would like you to know that I would like it more if you did."

"I like it if Davis is domineering...!"

Nadia echoed next, causing Davis to think that every woman, no matter human or not, wished their man to be something. In this case, Isabella and Nadia wanted him to be some grand ruler who ruled above all. Everyone had a fantasy, and he didn"t find fault with it.

After all, he wished that his women were all loyal to him despite his shortcomings, fallacies, and mistakes.

"I understand..."

Davis nodded, "However, I still am not finished. On top of Nadia, I have begun to love Natalya"s little sister Fiora, Sophie Alstreim, and Niera Alstreim. Do you have any questions?"

Isabella"s smiling face twitched. She turned to look at him as her smile widened more.

"Niera, who? You took two more?"

Davis instantly raised his hands in defense.

"Don"t misunderstand. I kept our promise. Other than Fiora, I didn"t make love or sleep with any of them. I just kissed Sophie and Niera, but if you want to find fault with that, go ahead. I"m willing to take responsibility in whatever way you want if you think that I hurt you but don"t think about leaving-"

"No, no, you got it all wrong." Isabella shook her head, "You are ent.i.tled to many women as my father is, perhaps more since you"re my man. You, my love, deserve more."

Davis blinked in response to her words because it sounded way too good for him!

"However, I only asked you to wait until our marriage while I, big sis Evelynn and second sis Natalya, decided that it"s fine if you get with s.h.i.+rley but not other women before I finally felt I was doing you wrong by leaving and not wanting you to become sad, I told you it"s fine if you took another woman, which you did, and it"s Fiora whom I expected it to be, but Sophie and Niera..."

Isabella slowly shook her head, "As long as you didn"t sleep with them, it is fine. By taking, I meant just that... I really can"t say anything about if it was just a kiss because if I did, then I should demand that you touch no women other than your wives and me all together."

"Still, I didn"t think that you would take three more women while I was away. Did they really manage to capture your heart?"

Isabella blinked, looking curious while Davis took in her grievances yet acceptance as he nodded.

"Yes, they managed to move my heart."

"Oh..." Isabella sounded interested as her lips curved, "Then I"ll see for myself when I have a chance to talk to them. They have to be half as crazy as Mo Mingzhi for me to approve. I"m just not going to let in half-hearted women into our life, you know..."

"..."

Davis understood her worries and concern, but...

"Why did you bring Mo Mingzhi in the conversation?"

"How can I not? She"s head over heels for you." Isabella rolled her eyes.

"You met with her?"

Davis narrowed his eyes while Isabella felt her heart skip a beat. She recalled the time when Clara told her that Davis would mad if someone harmed Mo Mingzhi that she couldn"t help but wonder if he would raise his hand against her.

"I was irked by the fact that she could go around saying that she was your mistress and everything when I never heard anything about her from you. Was I wrong to test her?"

Davis looked confused as he asked.

"You taught her a lesson...?"

Isabella bit her lips, wanting to come clean.

"Well, all I wanted to do was make sure that her love towards you was not fake and tried to get her to leave you while threatening her, but even after I swung a sword mirage at her, giving her the illusion of death, she was still adamant on loving you and did not take her words back. She isn"t even married to you and has only little hope, as I learned that you rejected her once. So, If she isn"t crazy for you, then who is?"

Davis blinked while he heard her narrate their encounter with a few words.

That Mo Mingzhi still didn"t give up on him, even after being threatened to be killed?

"That"s some serious obsession that woman has..."

Davis thought that she would forget him after he took her to this world. Could it be that he had to take her to the Fifty-Two Territories to reconsider? No, he was already nearing the peak in the First Layer, so it was possible that he needed to take her to the Immortal Layer.

However, would Immortals even look at her? Sure, he imagined that her beauty enhanced manifolds along with her cultivation, but she definitely would not obtain any status but would be a maid or a slave with her cultivation level.

It was ridiculous for him to even entertain her or these thoughts anymore that he didn"t know what to do with her.

Isabella blinked, looking confused that he did not scold her after she said all that.

Wasn"t it said that he was overprotective of Mo Mingzhi?

"Davis, what"s up with you and Mo Mingzhi. I know that she"s from your past life but do you love her, or do you love her as if she was your own daughter since you took care of her?"

"Daughter...? Pf~"

Davis"s cheeks puffed up as if he was going to burst out laughing while Isabella turned even more confused on seeing his reaction.

Did she say something wrong?

A few seconds later, Davis just chuckled.

"You want to hear about my past, our past?"

Isabella nodded her head, looking curious, while Davis sighed, shaking his head.

"Ah... Where do I begin? Uhm, the world was mostly a peaceful place, but..."

"I was an orphan, a mere mortal, but was kidnapped and severely abused by Mo Mingzhi"s father from the time when I was ten years old because of an unknown family feud that I didn"t know about that I became part deranged in the subsequent years. When I killed him, Mo Mingzhi"s small yet helpless voice saved me as she was nothing but a little child, but it wasn"t like everything just disappeared. "

"Part of me wanted to sever the cycle of hatred that was going on between our family, and the other deranged part of me wanted to refine her to be my slave."

Isabella blinked at his pause before he continued to speak.

"However, I swore not to become the man I hated and somehow managed to maintain my integrity, managing to overcome my depraved self by putting her up in a fairly luxurious orphanage, letting her study and live under good conditions. It wasn"t like I treated her as my daughter... I just wanted her to not suffer since she was a mere child."

Isabella relaxed, giving the nod to his story. This was a bit nerve-racking to her, but nothing permanently untoward seemed to have happened to Davis in the end.

Davis chuckled on seeing her reaction.

"In the mortal world, wealth is almost everything one needed to live without a problem as the world was quite peaceful, so when I left the mortal world, I made sure to give her the wealth back that I plundered from her father after I killed him since I didn"t need it, so I only wished her a good life, thinking that I would have no need to take care of her anymore."

"However, it was unexpected that she would fall in love with me, her father"s killer. I can"t... I just can"t believe she fell in love with me even though I could plainly see it. She is too enigmatic, loving her father"s killer and all. I tried severing our karma, but she cried miserably. I might have an easier time killing her if she hated me, wanting to kill me, but she ended up having feelings for me..."

Davis shook his head, looking helpless.

"I simply have no idea what to do with her..."

"I see..."

Isabella nodded before she shrugged.

"Or you could just make her yours and end the cycle of hatred. If you make her submit like you made us submit, what"s the harm?"

"Are you serious?" Davis blinked.

"What if she changes her mind and decides to take revenge against you all? I sure would not risk that... Moreover, Natalya, Evelynn, and you are all traditional and cherishable women where you would all unconditionally love me even if I was a scoundrel, but this Mo Mingzhi might be a modern woman who would backstab me within seconds, days, or months of m.a.k.i.n.g. .l.o.v.e."

"She"s undesirable to my current mindset and might possibly bring me suffering, so I feel like I should rather stay clear of her."

Isabella blinked on taking in the information he provided.

"Modern women? What"s that? Sounds luxurious?" She couldn"t help but ask.

"Luxurious? Ahaha…" Davis laughed as he raised his hand, closing his fingers one by one, "Modern means lack of accountability and responsibility while being ent.i.tled to rights and privileges that they don"t actually deserve. What do you get?"

Isabella raised her head as she descended into contemplation. Her eyes suddenly widened as she looked at him.

"You mean like those arrogant Young Masters?"

"Exactly!" Davis uttered while beaming with a smile.

"But Mo Mingzhi seemed really bent on you and seemed virtuous enough…." Isabella frowned as she tried to understand, feeling confused by what she had perceived.

"Moreover, she didn"t seem arrogant but way too obsessive that she might even challenge me, challenge us for the rights to please you if she becomes strong as us, which is quite commendable as I wouldn"t want any woman who wouldn"t give any thought of supporting you enter our life."

Davis couldn"t help but gawk, becoming dumbfounded at her thoughts.

"Wait... are you truly recommending her?"
