"…"
Davis was speechless as he heard them say Yotan cried in their arms and swore fealty to this family once again despite them saying that wasn't needed.
He was a bit sad.
She was nowhere to be seen and was still probably in seclusion. Otherwise, he would've proposed to her in front of everyone.
"Just bring her to the bed and take her. She wouldn't say no from what I could see…"
"She's just hard-headed… stubborn… I know she loves you as much as any of us here. We even shared the affectionate feelings we had for you when we were still prisoners…"
Mingzhi and Bylai advised him while the latter even exposed Yotan's true feelings to everyone.
Of course, Davis knew she would be happy as her expression was full of smiles when she heard him confess. But it seems like she wants to be worthy of him through her own strength instead of strengthening through his benevolence.
He felt that such a roundabout way wasn't necessary but for Yotan, that may very well be her last straw to maintain her dignity and rightfully snatch a place by his side.
He couldn't rob that from her, so he was willing to wait. Besides, he understood that he was also prone to taking roundabouts with how he was treating Mira, Stella and the likes, waiting for them to grow up even though they were already at a biological maturity where they were willing to mate but he wasn't.His roundabout actions weren't catered alone to biological maturity as he was also affected by psychological aspects such as not being willing to take Ivy and Jade because they were not at a level where they were in love with him deeply at this point and still had a life ahead of them that was devoid of his influence.
He wanted to give them that chance for the way his other self treated them as his foremost thought was that he didn't deserve them or their goodwill.
How dare his other self abandon them despite them sacrificing their lives for him? He lost all his wives? So what? Although it was understandable he was no longer sane, that wasn't a good reason to push them away when they were willing to give him a new life and even go as far as to sacrifice themselves just to give his young self another chance.
That self-reproach was what removed him from looking at them the same way he would look at other lovable women.
Nonetheless, the conversation moved on and Shirley suddenly announced something as though she was truly drunk.
"I'm thinking of going alone to the Fire Phoenix Lower Realm."
"What? Why?" Everyone looked at her in shock.
The Fire Phoenix Lower Realm was connected to the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm. It was a pleasant surprise but they didn't look to go there amidst the many realms connected to the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm because they already had a bad history with the Fire Phoenix Clan, so why bother?
"Obviously to hoodwink Founder Zenflame into giving us one or more Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills before he gives it to the Fire Phoenix Clan or some other power to acquire safety or something else."
Shirley giggled.
Her answer gave some new ideas to the others.
They were lacking just one more Gilded Ascendant Realm Pill to make sure no one was left out amidst the harem. After coming this far, if even one of them was left out, it would be bad, so they were tempted.
They had to admit she was truly diabolical towards the Fire Phoenix Clan. After all, Founder Zenflame handed over three Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills as an apology and future security, so for her to go after those pills in his hands again, it was truly wicked.
"But why alone? You would just get caught, Shirley." Davis laughed.
"How rude! I have vast experience traversing the land and the skies with Myria."
Shirley pouted as she folded her hands.
It seemed like Davis was taking revenge for her rude mouth before.
Davis also looked intrigued but he shook his head.
"Well, the Fire Phoenix Lower Realm screams bad luck to me but the rewards are also great if we manage to save Founder Zenflame. They're all still hidden, right?"
"Yes, there's no news of them getting killed or captured." Mingzhi nodded, "Then again, I would argue to abandon the idea as the situation is not good for us. As far as the information collected by the Reaper Soul Legion due to Threelotus working hard in Highnode Town, we know that the search has been reduced to the realms around us, so they're definitely getting closer each day."
"…"
Mingzhi's words abruptly put a closure on their joyous atmosphere.
In fact, everyone else knew this other than Davis since they were paying attention while he was wholeheartedly in seclusion digesting the full efficacy of the Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill so that he doesn't miss out on anything.
For that reason, he had also fused back with his avatar, making sure that his soul got the rightful share.
Only his soul body had been out but even that was in a meditative state to allow the main body to be free from distractions unless they encountered danger.
"Even the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm's capital city is filled with Heaven's Warriors right now, so I suggest we stick to our plan and leave this realm first and seek a new mini-realm out of this realm-perimeter to establish a new sanctuary for ourselves…"
Seeing everyone was silent, Mingzhi added.
The others also nodded.
Davis nodded. It was time to leave.
"Elder sis," Suddenly, Ellia looked at Myria, "Do you still remember that undiscovered Minor Realm that was said to be sighted by a pirate group and we accidentally chanced upon it in space from a vast distance before being forced to escape from being chased by that bastard? Do you think that Minor Realm is still undiscovered?"
"How can it be…?" Myria shook her head lightly, "It's been at least three or four million years since I died and revived through you. It would've been found by someone and taken over by some major power long ago since it was already sighted by many spacefarers."
"What if it isn't? What if we find it and have our Emperor take control? After all, he is still an Immortal King, able to bind the core of a Minor Realm…"
"…"
Ellia sounded so wishful but that was like poison to Myria's mind, making her also think of some hopeful things that wouldn't be possible after so long.
"Wh- What's going on here?"
Davis looked a bit confused yet highly intrigued.
Was he hearing— more battle prowess?
Although he digested the Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill, binding the core of a realm might give him two, three or even four more levels in prowess since it is an external strength. The weight of the realm would be behind him and his attacks.
It would apply as long as he was within the realm's range, allowing his prowess to increase again so that he could probably battle a Level One Empyrean by himself!
