Chapter 1653 - Returned Home
Back in the Purple Guest Palace, Davis was still in the process of digesting the humongous chunk of information he had on his head. On the other hand, Davis was on his way back to his home.
In the last two months, he was well aware through the avatar that things had gotten heated up in the stability of the Four Great Righteous Sects as the Vast Sky Emperor got severely injured in an assassination attempt. It was unknown how much he had recovered or was in bed, unable to recover, but the wicked path took this opportunity to launch a secret attack against the Burning Phoenix Ridge, only to be roasted into human meat by Ancestor Cornelia, who revealed herself at the right time.
The Dual Lotus Manor, Burning Phoenix Ridge, Heaven Gazing Sect, and the Glorious Pill Palace were at the forefront of the battlefield, shielding the righteous world from the wicked path's all-out attacks.
The Dual Lotus Manor possessed soft power, the appeal, and the lure of women to make them lose their sight of killing while the Glorious Pill Palace controlled the pill market, making it so that the wicked path were hard-pressed to obtain pill resources that would increase their strength. The Burning Phoenix Ridge was the sword, and the Heaven Gazing Sect remained the shield.
All four of them had subsequent generations of prominent, righteous, and imposing characters who defended against the attacks of the Infernal Lightning Palace, Blood Reaper Underworld, and the Poison Rift Valley. There were a few more wicked path hegemons further south, but the Emperor Sword Sect single-handedly pointed their swords at them, while the Soul Palace was also a significant threat that caused those wicked path hegemons to stay their hands.
Nevertheless, when Ancestor Cornelia was about to be overwhelmed by the Ancestors of the Infernal Lightning Palace, Blood Reaper Underworld, and Poison Rift Valley attacking her together, the Starnova Emperor appeared, illuminating the world with his resplendent starlight that caused everyone to disintegrate as if they were evaporating.
It caused them all to retreat and regroup before they reconsidered their options and went back to their place.
It was unthinkable that the Starnova Emperor would appear to the wicked path since the Astral Light Sect, one of the Four Great Righteous Sects was in charge of defending against magical beast attacks and not against the wicked path. This ruined their plans once again, making the wicked path greatly angered.
From this, Davis could see that his actions of using an assassin to injure the Vast Sky Emperor did not create much of a ripple in the overall fate, making him believe as long as he didn't go overboard, perhaps, fate was within his control?
However, since he also knew that fate was his fickle sister, he didn't play with her too much.
Although, there was one thing he became surprised of when he heard that the Starnova Emperor publically proposed to the Sect Master of the Burning Phoenix Ridge but was instantaneously rejected, causing Starnova Emperor's face to burn while it made the relations between the two powers constrained.
'Did she do that for me? Or is her aim to ascend and look for a better and powerful man?'
He couldn't help but wonder for a moment before he shook his head, knowing that it was useless to think all these things since he was of the mind to concentrate on his loving women and deal with the Dragon Families and the Four Great Righteous Sects.
Soon, he arrived at the Purple Guest Palace, and knowing that he was the real deal this time, Nadia pounced on him, wrapping her arms around his neck as she deeply kissed.
"Davis, you've become strong~"
Nadia's otherworldly purple eyes were glittering as she genuinely smiled at Davis.
"Yes." Davis couldn't help but smirk as he had his hands wrapped around her sumptuous and soft waist.
"Although, it's still not enough to reach my beautiful Nadia."
"This power is given by master."
Nadia grinned as if she didn't bother about it when a flick of a finger appeared in front of her eyes.
*Pat~*
Davis tapped her forehead with his finger and spoke.
"I'm your man, not your master. Get that right, Nadia."
"Aw~" Nadia rubbed her forehead as she lightly pouted, "Does it really matter? I like to call you master."
"Oh..."
Davis appeared taken aback before he nodded once, "Okay... then I see no problem as long as you see me as your husband first."
"Husband...!?"
Nadia became stunned as she squealed before turning to look at Evelynn. The latter merely shrugged and smirked, causing Nadia to blink before she turned to look at Davis, wondering what was going on before she couldn't help but look at Evelynn.
"I... I can marry master like you?"
Evelynn smilingly nodded her head, "You can."
"But... humans don't marry magical beasts..."
"They did once upon a time."
Davis couldn't help but smile as he reached out his hand pinched Nadia's cheek.
"We will marry, not for anyone but for ourselves. Okay?"
Nadia's eyes slowly widened as she took a deep breath, her smile blossoming like a flower.
"I feel happy~"
Davis chuckled at her, wondering why she kept this inside herself from long ago until he said that she should see him as her husband. As expected of Ancestor Cornelia, an experienced magical beast who knew what another magical beast woman might want. Stupidly enough, he had thought Nadia wouldn't be interested in such a ceremony,
He should've become aware of this when he heard magical beasts had established their own proper empires and powers, but because he knew that Nadia was born in the wild, he thought that she wouldn't bother about something like marriage.
Perhaps, she took that as a rite of passage like in tribes in order to completely become his woman.
"Nadia, you look so beautiful..."
Davis uttered as he closed in on her again, wanting to wrap his arms around her when she disappeared from his grasp and reappeared in the distance, appearing to be fidgety as she lowered her head.
"Uhm... We can make babies when we reach the Immortal Stage..."
"...!?"
Davis almost tripped himself as he heard that before he instantly understood.
To him, dual cultivation was gratification and fulfillment, but it was one of baby-making to Nadia. It was no wonder she was hesitant over doing it in the past. The way he and Nadia thought was fundamentally different, and he understood this deeply after knowing her thoughts of wanting to get married like the others.
To that end, she remained chaste even in her clan. Unless she went into heat like the last time she pounced on him, almost seducing him because she found him as desirable to an extreme degree, it was unthinkable for her to have a go at it with him during a normal time.
He could tell that she was just purely satisfied with kissing.
"But if you want, we can do it, at least after you satisfied my..." Nadia shyly lowered her head, "... sisters first..."
Davis blinked thrice before he inwardly cried out in joy. He couldn't believe what Nadia just said.
'Is this the fruit of interacting with her sisters? I wonder what kind of thoughts had they put inside her for her to be acting like this...'
He couldn't help but wonder before he nodded.
"It is true that we can make babies only after reaching the Immortal Stage, and I'm glad that you care about your sisters, but if you want to do it before that, you should tell me, alright?"
"Mhm."
Nadia nodded, appearing to be content.
Davis didn't know that in the magical beast world, the women kept a strict hierarchy. In Nadia's mind, Evelynn remained the first while she still found herself to be at an unknown place. That's why combined with the knowledge she gained in the human world, and she found it wrong to sleep with him when others were waiting for him like her, having superiority over her in terms of seniority.
As for who taught her knowledge of the human world, it was Fiora, the woman who thought that she herself was the last in terms of seniority and deserved Davis the least, even convincing herself of that.
At this moment, a figure was seemingly approaching them. It seemed to be a woman dressed in an icy blue robe. She gazed towards them with doubt before her eyes widened in glee.
*Whoosh!~*
Without even bothering to stop, she rammed into Davis as she squealed.
"Davis...! You're back!"
Davis captured her with a smile as he caressed her head.
"Yeah, and I'm going to make you moan like crazy, Natalya."
"....!?"
