Chapter 253

After Davis arrived in front of her room, he knocked on the door .

After a few seconds of silence, a trembling voice echoed out, " . . . Who is it?"

"Scythe . . . " Davis replied in a casual tone .

A few seconds pa.s.sed before the door opened .

Davis shot a look at her, wondering why this woman was trembling . Then he blinked and realized that it was night time and a man visiting a woman only had one meaning most of the time .

"Say, can I come in?" Davis asked calmly, hiding his awkwardness .

Since he came, it would be even more suspicious if he left without saying anything .

Natalya had her eyes wide, her heart increased its beat at a faster rate .

"Yes . . . " She meekly uttered as she held the door .

Davis came in as he glanced at the empty room . Other than the bed and a table with some utensils, there was nothing else .

Only a faint fragrance lingered that said that it was a woman"s room .

Seeing that there were no chairs either, he went and sat on the bed without commenting on anything . Just as he sat and turned to glance at her, his eyes widened .

*Plop*

Natalya went on her knees and bowed down her head to the ground, "Young Master Scythe! I promise to serve you until my life ends! You can order me around and ask anything of me other than my innocence . . . "

Davis had quite a p.i.s.sed off expression on his face but turned into a pitiful one as he thought about her current situation .

When he thought from her point of view, he could more or less understand her desperate outburst .

After all, she was entirely helpless against him in case he decided to do something malicious to her .

He took a slight breath and said, "I"m not going to ask anything of you nor am I to do anything to you . "

Natalya became startled . She raised up her head and looked at his young face .

Davis was not wearing a mask, only a black robe that hid his figure below the neck .

"Also, other than buying ingredients for me to concoct spirit juices, I would advise you to buy some cultivation manual and resources that help you to increase your cultivation . "

"Didn"t I hand you over 3000 Low-Level Spirit Stones? This is enough for you to get to the Fifth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation on your own . "

Davis looked at her mouth go agape in shock, but still continued, "I know it"s hard to forget about the past but you don"t need to forget it . "

"Instead of forgetting you should accept that it had happened and move on or go out and venture around investigating with that puny cultivation of yours . "

"But if you do the latter, you will absolutely die or even have a worse ending . So I advise you to stay here and cultivate till you feel you have the strength to investigate your past by yourself . "

"Also, there"s no need for you to call me master, young master, young lord anymore . . . Just call me Scythe as the former options are quite annoying considering that your position is not something like my subordinate or subject . "

Natalya kept calling him with different honorifics and he was quite annoyed by it .

Davis furrowed his brows as he asked, "Do you understand?"

Natalya nodded her head slowly, indicating that she understood while her facial expression indicated that she was at a loss .

"So tell me, what do you want to do in the future?"

"I . . . " Natalya moved her lips but thought hard and contemplated his words for a few seconds yet wasn"t ultimately able to make a decision, "I don"t know . . . "

His furrows deepened, "Tell me, what do you feel about staying in this residence?"

Natalya suddenly went silent before hanging her head low . The next moment she looked back at him and uttered, "I feel grateful for letting me stay in this place and thankful for having such a wonderful person as my benefactor . . . "

Davis was amused, "Your previous actions don"t match up with your latter sentence . . . "

Natalya blushed in shame, "That"s . . . I didn"t know what benefactor has on mind . So when benefactor came here, I instantly thought . . . "

Davis sighed as he shook his head in fake disappointment, "So you were having naughty thoughts all month long . . . "

"No! It isn"t like that!" Natalya desperately shouted, a little hurt that he thought of her this way .

"I don"t understand one thing though . . . " Davis suddenly uttered .

Natalya got startled before she asked, "What?"

"Why are you so desperately trying to protect your innocence? Do you already have a man in your heart?"

"No, I don"t have any such person in my heart!" Natalya quickly replied as she patted her breast .

"Then why are you so desperate? Objectively speaking, becoming my woman seems like a big opportunity for you who has no one to hold on to . . . Excuse me but, I find this really weird and suspicious . . . "

The woman in front of him had gathered all her courage to repeatedly remind him to spare her despite him showing no signs of being a sinister person .

Was she trying reverse psychology by acting cute, innocent and frail? Rather than trying to think, he decided to straightforwardly ask .

"I just want to know your intentions . . . " Davis calmly questioned .

Natalya looked at his eyes that were full of curiosity, a while later she sighed, "Before that, I want to ask whether if you had considered about your prospective wife"s virtue . "

"No . . . " Davis casually answered . Although it was not the truth, it was technically correct because he already knew about Evelynn"s virtue .

There was no future wife for him to consider as she was already one in his mind .

"No wonder benefactor doesn"t understand . Pardon my rudeness, but I think benefactor is still young . "

Natalya took a deep breath and explained, "I am a woman who is only willing to lose my innocence to the person who I am going to spend my life with, not to some grand person who is just powerful but doesn"t know how to reciprocate my feelings . "

"I"m willing to work for that grand person but not live . . . "

Davis"s eyes widened a moment before he uttered in understanding, "I see . . . "

The common and innocent people here highly valued morals and a proper way of life rather than living however they wanted to with their lives .

Although this lessened individuality and independence, this helped male and female promiscuity to lessen to a great degree in a wide sense .

In this world where billions of people were available for a relations.h.i.+p, why would they want to live with a morally depraved person? Instead, they felt that they should wait for the right person for them, even if many years pa.s.sed as they could live for a long time with the help of cultivation .
