Chapter 5400: Who Dares To Stop Me?

"It’s not like that..." Davis uttered softly as he raised his head.

Ellia raised her hand, "I don’t want to hear excuses. I know all about my Prince. I’ve been with him since I was little. How much he loves someone. How much he loves me. It’s not a huge margin, and not a difference one could spot unless one looked closely, but I’m perfectly content here and am extremely happy for my elder sis, who was suffering for a long time. However, my contentment comes under an unspoken condition. I have the Divine Emperor of Death as my husband and master figure and have Saintess Myria as my elder sister and mother figure. Underneath the Heavens and the Davis Family, I alone am the unbridled and unsuppressed maid wife. Who dares to stop me?"

She narrowed her eyes and gazed at everyone.

She found Mingzhi closing her mouth and laughing her ass off while every one of the others looked shocked beyond compare.

Other than Mingzhi, only Davis didn’t look surprised. She wasn’t surprised either that they knew about her true emotions. It was one of the reasons Davis didn’t suppress anything she had done, including disbursing techniques that block Heart Intent and other shenanigans she was up to.

She smirked like a villainess over the ensuing silence, knowing she had won this battle.

Ellia raised her hands and gestured with a heart symbol, "Bing Luli is waiting for you. Make sure to visit her and make her yours, my love~’

She then cast a teasing smile before turning around and leaving the premises, humming as she skipped away.

It was only after reaching the boundaries of the main hall that she rubbed her bosoms and exclaimed, ’Wah, I almost died. Too scary to pull off something like that... He didn’t do anything to me there, but I’m pretty sure I’m dead on the bed next time... Gotta lay low for a while and let Zenova be the most audacious woman in the harem...’

She wiped her cheeks, plastered a calm smile on her face, and went to visit Azariel.

Back in the treatment chamber, Davis already laughed after he left.

He was more worried that Myria felt sad than Ellia’s outburst because he knew she had always been like that, unassuming yet inwardly treated as though everything belonged to her. That’s why she had never been stingy about sharing her newfound, ingenious techniques. Since they were all hers, what was the difference?

But it wasn’t obsession or possessive nature that governed her emotions. It was a strong familial bond.

"That lass... she ran away without stating she would apologize to Bing Luli at the very least." Davis chuckled as he shook his head, "I didn’t intend her to lock her in the prison anyway. Bing Luli already said she was claiming the marriage agreement as her own."

"Really?" Myria came out of her reverie as she turned to look at him.

"Yes," Davis nodded and then patted her shoulder, "Ellia’s still childish. Don’t think too much about her outburst. She really wasn’t blaming you, but just trying to escape smoothly."

"I know..." Myria wryly smiled, "But what she said still remains a reality. It’s been my only regret in this life. I hope you still don’t hold a grudge against me."

She raised her hand and grasped his hand, holding with some softness in her gaze.

"Never." Davis gripped her hands firmly.

"It isn’t our physiques that brought us closer. We fought a lot and made up. That’s why our bond is so strong. You shouldn’t regret it."

"Mhm~"

Davis and Myria leaned over their foreheads, becoming lovey-dovey all of a sudden.

"And I alone am the obsessive one. That’s enough, you’re embarrassing yourselves in front of the apothecary and the patient. If you want to flirt, go out~"

Mingzhi came in between them with gnarled teeth and pushed them away, causing them to laugh lightly.

Davis chuckled and walked over to Esvele, who was lying on the bed.

"We apologize, Esvele. We made a fuss during your treatment when we should be focused."

Esvele shook her head, "Mistress Ellia showed me the ropes in the initial days. Without her guidance, I wouldn’t be what I am now today. After all, I was born a Young Mistress of my own Zelte Family and had many servants back home. I’m grateful to her."

’That’s not something... to be grateful about exactly...’

Davis blinked before he sighed, "After you get your emotions back, you’ll inevitably start feeling many thoughts you haven’t had before, and wanting to quit would be one of them. I advise you to quit. After all, your emotions have been suppressed this long. If it bursts out, all the negative experiences you’ve had will have accumulated and burst out too. It wouldn’t feel any good."

"..."

Esvele merely blinked. She didn’t respond.

"Naturally, there’ll be a huge severance pay and hush money to keep our secrets that you have encountered after signing a True Soul Contract."

"I don’t want." Esvele’s reply was cold and concise.

"Hmm, I understand."

Davis nodded. He felt it was better to talk to her again after she got her emotions back because she was a logical monster right now who thought getting extremely high wages and being bound in servitude, where she was treated better than being a free person, was a perfectly fine trade-off.

"Jillian, how long will it take?"

Jillian Hayden responded without turning to look back.

"It will take some time to build the soul spirit formation to create the battlefield around the soul essence and then create layers to make our insect hero the calculated winner. I’m still calculating how much prowess it would require during each opening to the next layer, where it will encounter higher-stage poisonous insects and, in the end, possess enough prowess to challenge the lifeform. I’ll call you when I need your help."

"Alright, I’ll take my leave then to go see my son."

Davis wanted to go see his son. His avatar had gone back to nurturing the World Hegemon Grade treasures. He didn’t want to send his soul body either or spy on what was happening there with his soul sense. There were wifey spies who would snitch on him because of harem unity and make the punishment worse. Besides, leaving wasn’t a good option since there was a chance the parasite lifeform might awaken.

However, Tanya appeared to be making her way here while Pia had returned from cultivating in the Northern Snowlands.

Pia was a Sky Piercing Frigidblade Spirit who had already become an Exalt Spirit. She was so powerful. Together, they could even deal with a High-Level Exalt.

"I’m also coming."

Sophie and Xiu Juili accompanied him.

After Tanya and Pia arrived, they left.

Their cold swords would make anyone feel the threat of death.

Davis, Sophie, and Xiu Juili didn’t rush. They maintained etiquette, either hovering as they traveled in the hallways or walking. The estate spanned tens of kilometers wide easily for a single residence, so it was a long way to walk if they walked at a mortal’s pace. However, there were spatial-illusory formation contraptions meant to make the walk seem seamless and relatively short instead of taking hours.

They still walked at a mortal’s pace and could arrive at the main hall in a few minutes.

"Juili..." Davis turned to look at one of his new wives, who silently accompanied him everywhere she could during this time and was an active socializer who was on good terms with all her sisters.
