Chapter 1881: Dalila’s Feelings

The Glorious Pill Palace elders rushed to help the fainted Young Master Faus. The Venerated Sunrise Pill Emperor saw that nothing dangerous occurred to Young Master Faus’s body as he mused that it was just fainting from stifled anger before he couldn’t help but say.

“Emperor of Death, you can’t be bullying a juni-“

But he suddenly stopped, having his tongue-tied at the sentence that he was going to utter.

“Junior?” Davis appeared amused, “Do you suggest that guy who is more than a hundred years older than me?”

“Glorious Pill Palace’s cultivators, I have already compensated you all since you claimed that Dalila Leehan harmed your reputation for backing out of the agreement, but this,” He shook his head, “… this is on your own head.”

The expressions of the Glorious Pill Palace churned. Their entire Glorious Pill Palace had been humiliated, again. How can they back off?

However, most of them thought that they didn’t want to play their luck with the Emperor of Death and instead began to blame Young Master Faus for opening his mouth when he could’ve stayed quiet and pretended nothing happened.

They had just profited from the Emperor of Death, but was it going to end their loss again?

This kind of line of thought made them think that the Emperor of Death was correct. Young Master Faus brought this on himself; brought this to their head, staining the Glorious Pill Palace’s reputable name.

In truth, Davis sneakily attacked Young Master Faus with soul pressure to make it look like he fainted from humiliation, although it wasn’t far off as his anger and rage were true enough to make the latter spit blood.

Dalila Leehan was now his woman as far as he considered. How could he allow her to be disgraced?

If Young Master Faus began to bullshit over this with his inflated sense of entitlement and pride, he might’ve killed him instead.

Young Master Faus shortly woke up and looked incensed, his expression full of shame. However, just before he could lash out, the elders beside him calmed him by bombarding him with soul transmissions and suppressing him. In the end, he didn’t say anything but retired to the resting room back in the seating area of his Glorious Pill Palace.

Davis saw that the matter came to an end, or perhaps, a temporary end. It didn’t matter to him as he turned to look at Dalila Leehan, who had still yet to come out of her reverie.

“Dalila…”

Davis waved his hand in front of her face, and only then did she react as her body shook. Her cheeks were crimson as her hands flailed in front of her bosoms in panic, trying to explain herself.

“D-Davis… I didn’t mean to…”

“Mean to what? Were you continuing to kiss me in your imagination?”

Davis couldn’t help but curve his lips, “Perhaps, we can do that afterward. Now, I want you to know that you have become mine.”

“What…?” Dalila Leehan disorderly shook her head, “How…? I’m- I’m in debt…”

Davis reached out his hand and held her shoulder, “I know and understand that you went through a lot today.”

His sudden gentle voice stopped her shaking, allowing her to calm down. Her swaying twin peaks that stood erect, round, and voluptuous also began to slow its wild movements. If Davis continued, she might have hyperventilated; at least, that was what he felt if he didn’t calm her down.

Dalila Leehan took a deep breath and bit her tongue, bleeding as blood dripped from her lips.

“What are you doing?” Davis’s eyes were narrowed in concern.

Dalila Leehan opened her eyes and looked at him. When she saw his sapphire eyes still looking at her in a genuine manner, she couldn’t help but ask, “This isn’t an illusion, is it?”

Davis moved his hand and held her tender cheek.

“At my level, if I cast an illusion, you would never be able to come out, Dalila.”

“You don’t need an illusion to attain me.” Dalila Leehan lightly bit her lips, “What I’m afraid is that others are using this kind of illusion on me, but it seems like this is reality.”

“It is.” Davis nodded, “You can’t go out even if you want out because you’re in debt.”

“You…” Dalila Leehan appeared stunned as she thought, ‘That makes me want to stay in debt.’

The very thought of it was conflicting because she wanted to start from a clean slate. Every time she decides on something, another matter overwrites it, making her want to choose to include that something. She didn’t like this feeling, but what he said made her heart flutter.

Looking at her expression, Davis chuckled, “I’m kidding, but seriously, after I made that decision, you’re mine. There’s no going back unless you want to court death.”

“Isn’t that one and the same?”

Dalila Leehan blinked and suddenly pounced on him and hid her face on his chest, “When I’m attached to death itself, it’s easier to stay with it than part from it.”

Davis felt her big, and firm bosoms become flat against him; the sensation of her mounds made him feel pleasantly comfortable. However, his lips couldn’t help but twitch.

Dalila Leehan was quite the romanticist but did she just say that he was death himself?

He expected Fallen Heaven to make fun of him at this moment, but no, it was just too silent.

It was like from the time it began accumulating power along with the increase in his Soul Forging Cultivation, not being really talkative anymore, not that it was, but it sometimes made him forget that there was a strange armament or an artifact spirit along with him from the start of his journey.

However, he was quite glad Dalila Leehan thought of him that way.

To be praised by someone he had just begun investing his emotions in, he felt that it was not bad for a start.

On the other hand, Dalila Leehan was on cloud nine, tightly holding him. She was overjoyed yet scared at the same time, expecting him to push her away, at least, shun her a bit, berating that she wasn’t worthy yet, but that never came even after a few seconds, causing her to raise her head to look at his face with misty eyes.

“I solemnly swear I love you, Emperor of Death. I couldn’t imagine living with someone else, yet I fooled myself into believing that I could. I’m not only a fool but a-“

Abruptly, Davis placed his hand on Dalila Leehan’s soft crimson lips, which startled her.

“Forget about that foolish decision. It may have been a mistake to you, but not to me. I know what kind of a woman you are, otherwise, I wouldn’t have did what I did and the truth is, your actions didn’t turn into an irrevocable mistake, a blunder, so I advise you to look forward to your life from now on. Also, drop the honorifics. That should be a start for you in our relationship.”

Davis took a step backward and spread his hands, his gaze moving towards his other women, causing Dalila Leehan to look at them blankly. However, she could see them politely nod at her, especially Sophie, who smiled widely at her.

But still, the realization didn’t seem to catch up as she had trouble processing it.

What was going on? How could he trust her so easily? How could they look so friendly? Why couldn’t she find a single hostile intent amidst them?

Maybe she was just bewildered, but tears flowed from her eyes. The words Davis uttered were like acceptance, and the gaze that his women directed at her was the same. It was like they were all one family under this one man, making her feel welcome.

“Dalila, stop making a mess of yourself.”

Nora hurriedly appeared beside Dalila Leehan and wiped her tears with her white sleeves, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”

“…” Dalila Leehan sniffled and embraced Nora, “Yes…!”

The former felt so thankful to her friend for making her move forward. It wasn’t easy, the accusations she had to endure on the way. However, the kindness and understanding that Davis had shown her, she felt that she was far from deserving it, and yet, that was what made it so endearing that it made her cry without being able to stop.

Nora joyfully smiled for her friend, stroking her black hair before she turned to look at Davis.

“Son, please don’t ask Dalila to repay her debt to me. I haven’t done anything to deserve such wealth.”

“What does second mother mean?” Davis blinked, “Your happiness over my moth-“

“I’m already doing that through my own will. I don’t need compensation for that.” Nora cut him off as she shook her head, “It’s better for you to receive it instead, as it should be.”

“I agree…!” Dalila Leehan separated from Nora and wiped her tears as she spoke, “Let me return it to you through the years to come. Otherwise-“

“Oh well, looks like the debt is shoved out of the void on the account that Dalila became mine.”

Davis forcefully spoke, ignoring whatever Dalila Leehan had to say before he clasped Dalila Leehan’s hand and walked off, leaving Nora stunned.

The debt was written off just like that?

Even Dalila Leehan remained stunned until he took her to a purple-robed woman who giggled at her.

“First time?”

“What…?”

Dalila Leehan appeared confused before the other party clasped her hand.

“Finding yourself stumped to find a man who will treat you as though you are the first wife who gets all the benefits when you are not?”

“…” Dalila Leehan felt like asking if this woman was a mind reader.

“You are…?” She asked with pursed lips.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Where are my manners? I’m Tina Roxley, one of Davis’s lovely women. I was part of the Thousand Pill Palace a short while ago underneath the tutelage of my teacher and adoptive father, Brandis Mercer, who was an Elder of the Thousand Pill Palace.”

Dalila Leehan’s expression changed, “Ah~”

However, she hurriedly closed her palm and apologized, “I’m sorry. I haven’t seen you, although I have heard about Elder Brandis Mercer…”

Tina Roxley smilingly shook her head, “It’s fine. I was merely a nobody in the destitute Tripartite Alliance Territory. It is only a given that you don’t know about me.”

“No, it’s not like that…”

Dalila Leehan felt anxious. This was her first time talking with one of Davis’s women so close other than Sophie that she didn’t want to mess up.

“Tina Roxley and Dalila Leehan.”

However, Davis’s voice suddenly garnered their attention, and they even narrowed their eyes together, listening attentively as they sensed that his voice became solemn.

Davis looked at both their vigilant countenances before nodding.

“In truth, I care little about the cultivation or the prowess of my women when it comes to showing my love. However, for you two alchemists, I have a selfish request. I need your alchemy skills to be almost perfect so that our family can enjoy the most potent and efficient pills that we humans can make for us to all improve our cultivations in the shortest time possible.”

Tina Roxley and Dalila Leehan became stunned. The others had their brows raised in surprise to see Davis expect something from them other than loyalty and offspring.

“Everyone, the final round of the Seventh Stage Segment will start shortly. I urge the Top 18 to quickly gather on the battle stage.”

But at this moment, Honorable Elder Julian Kruse’s voice echoed.
