Chapter 2232: Back To Cultivation

Davis clenched his teeth, not knowing what to conclude about Founder Alstreim as the other party really didn"t seem to be hostile.

He turned to look at Evelynn, who stayed after everyone left. After all, they were worried about disturbing him any longer.

"Evelynn, although Founder Alstreim Windstorm appears to possess no harm to us, he remains suspicious."

He then explained the fallacies he found about Founder Alstreim, squinting his eyes finally.

"Discreetly tell your sisters not to be near him or any of the immortals. There is something brewing unbeknown to us at the very least..."

"Alright." Evelynn nodded, her purple eyes glimmering as she understood his concerns, "In that case, should we keep an eye on all immortals using the Reaper Soul Legion?"

"That would be for the best, but if things got out of hand, my Reaper Soul Legion"s warriors would undoubtedly die. I don"t think it"s smart to use them as disposable pieces. I"d rather a.s.sign the All-Seeing Emperor for this matter and pay him the necessary price, although there would be a delay in communication."

Evelynn couldn"t help but smile, "The Reaper Soul Legion is fortunate to have a leader like you, husband."

Davis eyed her as his pupils trembled, "Evelynn, you can"t seduce me like this… I could become a h.o.r.n.y dog even if there"s a mountain weighing on me..."

"I didn"t seduce you~"

Evelynn blushed as she looked away, "Although the situation might be increasingly worsening, this body of mine will always accept your l.u.s.t and love."

"…"

Davis"s eyes almost became bloodshot, but he grumbled and looked away, gasping for breath as he calmed.

"So will my body cater to your l.u.s.t and love. However, we both know that the situation remains dire. Once I improve my Soul Forging Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation, I will help you gain the complete inheritance of the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex-"

"Absolutely not!" Evelynn"s third eye opened as she stared at him with three wide eyes, "Ellia and Myria said it is dangerous for us to face such an immortal being. Not only is the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Empress likely to have a prowess that"s at the Immortal King Beast Stage due to her Emperor-Tier Bloodline, but it is also possible that she would strike to kill us upon entering, even taking over my body again."

"However, in no way will I allow you to place yourself in danger because of me! Never… ever… again!"

Despite Evelynn trying to stare him out of that thought with her deep gaze, Davis kept his smile.

"The day I stop putting my life on the line for you is the day I stop loving you. You"re saying you want that?"

He gawked, instantly causing Evelynn"s solemn expression to crumble.

"You… that"s… unfair..."

Her eyes became wet as tears couldn"t help but emerge from her eyes, not knowing if she was moved or angered. With just a sentence, he caught her in a bind.

Davis flew before he sat beside her, wrapping his arm around her small waist as he softly kissed her cheek.

"If we can"t obtain that immortal inheritance, how are you going to improve your prowess? If you can"t increase your prowess, how are you going to convince the others that you deserve to be my first wife despite what I actively say?"

"…"

"Just listen to me." Davis whispered in a confident tone, "The forced ascension is no longer working, or the limit placed on the denizens has been extended because of the cracks in the giant formation. I don"t know if this giant formation we"re living in will hold or we"ll ever be able to return here, so including that in the equation to supremacy, we must take that immortal inheritance no matter what."

"..."

"I hate…" Evelynn pursed her lips, "I hate that you have a way with your words. You"re awful, putting me in a disadvantageous position in order to make me agree that I need more strength despite having willed my heart to no longer burden you and forget about the immortal inheritance..."

Davis couldn"t help but smile wryly, "It doesn"t help when you say that with a big smile on your face."

Indeed, Evelynn deeply smiled as tears ran down her face. She abruptly pounced on him as she wrapped her arms around him.

"I don"t deserve you!"

"Neither do I deserve you..."

Davis lightly turned his head and kissed her cheek repeatedly. She smelled good, and her body heat was getting to him, but he didn"t know why, he felt only felt love at the moment and not a single hint of l.u.s.t. He found himself in her solace just as she did.

The both of them separated half a minute later, looking at each other with heartened smiles. Evelynn stood up and left as her voice resounded.

"I"ll be waiting outside, looking after our family and everything else till your seclusion is over."

"Alright."

Davis nodded, watching her leave before the doors shut.

He promptly took out a cerulean pill that hovered as though it had wings.

"Mas… ter… wuwuwu~"

A cry of grievance in an awkward voice of a little girl emerged, causing Davis to be dumbfounded.

It was none other than the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill, a twelfth-rank pill, also called a Spirit-Tier Pill, one that was capable of having a consciousness as it lives or when nurtured enough.

Davis had sealed it in his soul sea and occasionally fed it some life energy to make it more compatible with him, causing it to recognize him as its master while at the same time guarded himself against its possible outbursts and tried not to get attached to it. But despite what he did, the pill never, not even once, tried to break out from his soul sea, not even when he had exhausted himself to fainting after saving Myria.

Now that he had finally taken it out after unsealing it, it had directed its emotions at him as it already had a tinge of soul connection with him, making him feel rather… awful.

Davis stared at it, his initial thoughts of not wanting to get attached to it wavering as it sounded like an innocent baby to him.

"Woah, a Spirit-Tier Pill…"

"…!"

He heard Lereza, the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace"s palace spirit"s voice which instantly alerted Nadia, who was inside of him. However, he relayed to Nadia that Lereza was just an overstaying guest, one that he had no choice but to accommodate and that she didn"t need to worry about her. Nadia reluctantly settled down in her shelter but stayed cautious while Davis returned his stare to the cerulean pill hovering in front of his face, which sought his affection.
