Chapter 4750 Smitten
Fairy Thunderblaze walked towards his room and turned to look at the door, momentarily feeling that everything could've been an illusion and that he would escape from her grasp. She had collected her things hurriedly from living in her chamber for the past month to check. Feeling some unease, she hurriedly stepped into his room, seeing his smile.
For a moment, she felt as though her eyes were playing tricks on her as she saw an evil smile, but as she blinked and the light from inside the room adjusted to her gaze, she saw his smile was gentle.
"Welcome back, my love."
Hearing his voice filled with affection, a smile inevitably crept over her face, her lips widening behind her veil.
It wasn't until she checked that the two charm techniques she used were still active and nothing was wrong did she heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. Composing herself, she walked elegantly towards him as she gazed at his face, experiencing an emotion that she had earlier come to realize: bliss.
'Mhm… I can't charm him forever. Most likely, these two charm techniques will break when he enters the Empyrean Stage.'
Fairy Thunderblaze's mind spun. She hadn't expected to come this far, so only now could she start considering how to further keep him under her charm spell. She felt it was insane how she had to charm both his body and soul in harmony in order to make him display a soft smile towards her.
If it were any other Immortal Emperor or even an Empyrean, they'd be begging to be graced by her shoes after getting hit with that kind of powerful charm. On the other hand, he was still standing straight and surprisingly still in love with other women.
From this alone, she understood his entire life was dedicated to them.
Before she could think of anything, her gaze turned mellow as she neared him. Appearing before him, she tidied his purple robe.
"…" Davis spread his arms in response to make it more comfortable for her.
She went around him, tidying his robe up to the hem of his shoulders and even rectifying the edges of the sleeves cordially.
After she was done, she stood in front of him, scanning his appearance with a satisfied gaze, "Shall we leave?"
Davis still held a smile over his lips, "Sure. Let me get the jade container."
He walked over to the side, approaching a table. From the drawer below, he took out the jade container after he pulled the drawer open. Then, he kept it over his arms and walked towards her. But suddenly, he swayed lightly.
"What is it?" Fairy Thunderblaze quickly approached him, holding him from falling, "Are you fine? Are you still tired from performing the transference technique?"
"I don't know…" Davis feigned weakness as he held his head, "It could be because those marks are foreign to me, because I don't have the powers of the golden divine lightning and crimson divine flames. I think… it weighs on me. I at least need to recover seventy percent of my soul force."
He lied. His soul was absolutely fine.
The marks weren't an issue so far. He couldn't even say that they were dormant. It was more like they were an insignificant speck of dust on one's skin, something that no one would feel unless they spotted it and became conscious of it.
Davis had to be conscious of it in order to even locate its presence within his soul. Otherwise, they were pretty much felt non-existent.
"Then…" Fairy Thunderblaze worriedly brought him over to the bed, "We'll leave after you recover."
She helped him sit and gazed at him as she sat by his side, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have become greedy and sought strength from these dangerous treasures. I let my fantasies get the better of me in an attempt to catch up to you."
"What are you saying?" Davis argued with an amused expression, "There's nothing wrong with what you have done. I also would've taken them if I didn't have heavenly factors to plunder. Besides, because you had these marks, we now possess a higher chance to leave this area."
"…" Fairy Thunderblaze shook her head, her expression laden with guilt.
She was still of the thought she had brought him here, and for what? All to charm him.
The information she had about this region was old. The Realm Calamities here had become too powerful since back then. But the Calamities weren't even the problem. It was the existences above the Exalt Stage. There was no information about them.
Now that she had succeeded in charming Davis, she didn't think the danger they experienced in this place was worth it. The risk outweighed the reward. Even if she obtained him, it wasn't guaranteed that they could leave.
"I have blundered. I'm sorry…" She placed a hand on his cheek, looking at him with unconcealable fondness, "If I die, you will wake up from this dream. At that time, you will not revive me, but I hope you can still find some space for me in your heart, remembering that this foolish woman had hopelessly fallen in love with you and had you all to herself, even if just for a day or two."
"What do you mean, I won't revive you?" Davis narrowed his brows.
"…" Fairy Thunderblaze let him go and turned her gaze away. She shook her head with a guilty smile, "Right now, you wouldn't understand. The spell is too potent to make you realize."
A trace of anger flashed past Davis's eyes as he chuckled, "What spell?"
Fairy Thunderblaze wryly smiled, thinking he had already forgotten even the mention of being charmed.
"Don't be so dejected. We'll leave no matter what!" Davis comforted her, causing her to nod.
"I believe you. Now, restore your soul force. I'll wait outside. If you need help, don't hesitate to call me."
She stood up and left.
Davis nodded and waved her goodbye.
Outwardly, he continued restoring his soul force by devouring soul essences. However, inwardly, he was blazing with anger and murderous intentions. Yet, his heart was also in turmoil as he realized he had always liked her far too much than he had thought for a while now.
After all, he had always ignored this issue since she had made it clear that she could not mingle with his harem. Still.
'How can I forgive her for attacking me in a vulnerable situation right after I helped her!? This is undoubtedly betrayal as an ally…!' His soul echoed, yet his heart argued afterwards that she didn't mean any harm and even treated him with care right afterwards.
The two voices clashing in his head suddenly made him indecisive. Otherwise, he had the urge to just behead her.
Most infuriating of all was that she was full of care for him!
Davis had always assumed Fairy Thunderblaze had a strong and stubborn personality, so she couldn't bring herself to utter comforting or reassuring words, especially in a feminine way. However, it turns out that he had been mistaken.
She was practically humming soft and caring words while talking with him, knowing he was completely hers.
'So only when you are convinced that you fully control the person you love can you be vulnerable to this level…' Davis didn't know what to think. She had always been a woman who had thick walls put up all around her, so it was easy for him to just look away, but now that she laid herself bare to him, he was looking at her raw emotions.
The moment he regained control, he hadn't stopped using Heart Intent, and the result was vexing for him to know that she didn't have an iota of ill intent against him.
She just wholeheartedly wanted his love and was prepared to even lower herself and charm him at the risk of death. As a cultivator, he honestly felt that it was applaudable as the attack couldn't be anymore perfectly timed, but as allies, the timing… was diabolical.
Moreover, her ill intent against his wives was plain to see. As soon as she obtained him, she had demoted them. He guessed that if she found them to her dislike, she wouldn't hesitate to demote them further or even get rid of them.
'What gives her the right…?'
Davis's chest heaved with anger. He couldn't find an outlet, making him feel frustrated. Thoughts of reciprocating also welled up within him, but he slashed them all. He felt one of the ways he could deal with her was to betray her like she did when he was at his most vulnerable state after saving her.
That might just break her, given how vulnerable she was at the moment.
But right now, he dared not kill her or make her suicidal since the marks were still dependent on her cultivation. If she died, then there was a valid chance the marks would disappear. Ultimately, he had stolen her accursed fate through bad luck, and his technique wasn't that extreme. If she died, the marks would lose their reason to stay in the world and disappear.
Hence, as Fairy Thunderblaze said, they needed to leave first and foremost.
'Hmm… yes, the most important thing is to return to my wives' side.' Davis inwardly resolved to stay calm and not act against Fairy Thunderblaze prematurely.
Right now, he still held the upper hand, so there was no need to make haste.
