Chapter 1743: Unbending Love?

Davis and Zestria soon arrived at s.h.i.+rley"s room. The former two stood beside each other, appearing intimate that it put a broad smile on s.h.i.+rley"s face after she opened the door to let them in.

"You came sooner than I thought."

"That sounds different..."

Davis almost laughed, but he went ahead and wrapped his arms around her waist lightly, pulling her into a warm embrace.

"s.h.i.+rley, thank you."

Hearing his whisper, s.h.i.+rley felt relaxed.

"Mhm~" She looked at his face and asked, "So what now? Do you like her?"

"I do. I made Zestria mine and want to make her mine forever."

Hearing Davis"s sincere words, s.h.i.+rley just smiled as she felt that it was expected, but Zestria Domitian went completely crimson in a few seconds.

"Good~"

s.h.i.+rley felt tremendously joyous. As far as she considered, if this wasn"t the end result and didn"t happen as expected, there was no meaning in going far as to leave her place. Moreover, she could sense Law Sea Stage undulations from him, meaning that he stepped into the Law Sea Stage by obtaining Zestria"s primal yin essence.

Since hers was used on reviving his battered soul, she felt glad that Zestria was able to improve his cultivation to a tremendous degree.

She reached out her hand to Zestria while being hugged by Davis.

"You"re no longer my slave but one of my sisters, right?"

Zestria Domitian looked stiff, but once she heard s.h.i.+rley"s voice, she grasped her hand with both hands and smiled.

"I- Yes, I"m honored~"

Zestria Domitian brought her small hand to her face and shed tears of joy, feeling incredibly moved.

Davis saw the two before he gazed at s.h.i.+rley, trying to find some discrepancy.

"You... you"re not unhappy, right?"

Davis hesitantly asked, to which s.h.i.+rley shook her head and playfully giggled.

"Of course not. However, you have to compensate for this day by spending more time with our child and me, especially after I give birth to our child."

"Good! I agree!"

Davis pulled her into a pa.s.sionate kiss, instantly making s.h.i.+rley melt in his love. But inwardly, he felt the need to do more for this beautiful and endearing woman who made sacrifices after sacrifices, only knowing to love with all her heart. But he just didn"t know how to give her more, for she did not lack resources as an inheritor of an Immortal Inheritance.

When he let her go, he already looked at her with immense pa.s.sion, but he was unable to take her that his expression turned sad.

"Hehe~" s.h.i.+rley giggled at him, knowing what he was thinking, "Don"t worry, there are only less than  five months left. After that, you can hold me all you want."

Davis nodded as he smiled, knowing that she could only be bold in these five months before he reached out his evil claws to her. On the other hand, Zestria wanted to know more about this side of the Emperor of Death. She had only seen his sharp and cold demeanor before, but once she saw and experienced his warmth, it almost became an addiction.

However, she knew her limits.

"Uhm... I would like to stay with sister s.h.i.+rley and look after her..."

Hearing Zestria wis.h.i.+ng for something, they both turned to look at her when a solemn voice echoed.

"No."

Zestria Domitian knew that it would be the case, but she still couldn"t help but feel emotionally stirred and agitated.

"Why?"

Davis stared at her crimson eyes that became a bit teary before he lightly heaved a breath.

"Isabella killed your father, and I killed most of your powerhouses, perhaps even your mother."

Most of the women of the Domitian Family"s Patriarch wives were Low-Level and Mid-Level Martial Overlords, and while he had many mistresses of lesser cultivation, he knew that Zestria"s mother should at least be a Martial Overlord, perhaps the previous Fire Dragon Queen.

He didn"t know all that but killed them all without hesitation.

"I don"t care. My father would"ve protected me only to protect his face. He"s the same as other Grand Elders, licentious, and has no integrity. However, he is still my father, and for that, I gave him respect and placed him on a pedestal until he secretly killed my mother for mere suspicion of betrayal when I was a hundred and two years old."

Zestria Domitian"s tears flowed as she bit her lips, "I feel grateful to you all for avenging my mother."

Davis"s eyes widened.

He wasn"t aware of this, but Isabella was a little bit aware as she had investigated using the All-Seeing Emperor, and only then did she even recommend them to Davis. Isabella knew that Zestria displayed hate towards her father, but she didn"t know that her father killed her mother. Nevertheless, she still felt that Zestria could be pulled to their side with her hating her father alone.

Davis felt sorry for her, but still, s.h.i.+rley had his defenseless child that he couldn"t help but hesitantly voice out.

"Even so, you expect me to believe that you would not have a sudden change of heart and would try to harm my child? You"re a Ninth Stage Powerhouse for heaven"s-"

"In that case, I"ll have my cultivation base sealed again."

Zestria clenched her fists and trembled, "I want to repay the goodwill to sister s.h.i.+rley!"

Davis"s brows twitched, not knowing what to say to her genuine emotions that were blazing at him. Her face possessed a look of sincerity and resolve. Moreover, he could see her regaining her confidence and pride slowly and felt that was great. After all, she cut him short while speaking while before she could only stutter.

"Alright, alright." s.h.i.+rley intervened as her melodious voice echoed, "There"s no need to fight. Zestria can come to see me whenever she wants as Esvele and Freya will also be with me shortly. This way, I won"t be feeling lonely, and neither will my child."

Zestria"s expression became full of joy as she raised her head and punched in the air, but Davis"s expression had a hint of apology as he looked at s.h.i.+rley.

"I"m sorry..."

"Ah~ I"m not blaming you." s.h.i.+rley hurriedly shook her hand, "I"m merely happy with having people to gossip around. You know how I am, haha~"

She wryly laughed, causing him to grin as well.

"Zestria, you should use this time to gain whatever you received from me. I believe you know how to dual cultivate."

Davis turned and spoke to Zestria, causing her to lower her head and nod.

"Mhm, the Dragon Families has their own dual cultivation manuals..."

Due to her sealed cultivation base before, Zestria couldn"t absorb his yang essence to dual cultivate. But still, she had her womb filled up by him, so she could still absorb his essence and improve her cultivation and stabilize it since she had been forcefully made to enter the Ninth Stage.

However, she hoped that she could conceive as s.h.i.+rley did.

"Also, you don"t need to worry about getting pregnant. I used a contraception pill on you, so you don"t need to hesitate and can absorb all my yang essence."

Davis reminded with an awkward expression on his face while Zestria"s expression froze, her cheeks that were already blus.h.i.+ng becoming crimson while her mouth went agape in disbelief.

All this time, she had attributed her bold and seducing actions to the aphrodisiac pill she thought she had been fed, but it turns out that it was her own misunderstanding and was all her own actions!?

She inwardly screamed, wanting to bash her head on a wall from the shamelessness of her actions.

Davis left with Zestria and personally a.s.signed her a room, telling her not to worry.

"Uhm..."

Hearing her hesitation, Davis, who was about to leave, turned around and stared.

"Is there anything else?"

Zestria bit her lips before she asked.

"What about Bylai...?"

"Don"t worry. I won"t touch her." Davis nodded.

"No... I..."

Zestria felt hesitant. After all, she didn"t know how to feel about Bylai Zlatan as she didn"t personally know her thoughts, although she did say that they could only accept their fates and even promised herself to Davis under certain conditions, wanting to earn his favor if left with no choice.

"It"s nothing..." In the end, she shook her head.

"You want to see her?"

Davis asked, to which she nodded after a pause.

"I"m sorry. I know I"m asking for too much." Zestria bowed her head.

Davis lifted her chin and asked.

"Are you going to let her escape?"

"I don"t dare, but I wish that you can treat her well, Davis. She"s not a bad woman."

"I know."

Davis perfunctorily nodded before he took Zestria"s lips, giving her some unabashed love, but it was overwhelming for Zestria as both her heart and body began to crave him.

After rea.s.suring Zestria that she could see Bylai and freely roam around as long as doesn"t use her cultivation in the Purple Guest Palace no matter the reason, Davis returned to s.h.i.+rley"s side and stayed with her for many hours, purely spending time with her and occasionally feeling the movement of his baby in her belly, which made him feel comforted and motivated.

Then Esvele and Freya arrived, making him tease them for a while before he left s.h.i.+rley in their care.
