Chapter 1699 - Mini-Banquet
Davis and the others had a good laugh. They almost didn't expect this Patriarch to have any shame since he sensibly yet dishonorably gave up without a fight.
Wasn't the Dragon Families supposed to be possessors of extreme pride on the level of conceit?
It turns out that the Ike Family's Patriarch swallowed his shame in front of the strong and spat it out on the weaker wicked path. The wicked path powerhouses did not even try to tackle him before he slaughtered and left.
Davis was curious, wondering if Lucius Ike had gained a large amount of karmic sin.
After all, Evelynn also gained karmic sin as she massacred the Poison Lord Villa's wicked path people.
Fortunately, he was able to take the karmic sin away from her, making it a bit easier for her to receive heavenly tribulation in the future.
Still, Davis once again saw the spatial ring with the Spatial-Attribute Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source, becoming entranced. There were also its fragments, like Vein Fragments and Spirit Stones, making him want to comprehend from it as soon as possible..
He wanted to rip through space and arrive in the distance, just like he saw the Vast Sky Emperor was capable of.
But was he talented in Space Laws?
He didn't know the answer to that and wouldn't truly know unless he tried to learn Space Laws.
Nevertheless, he turned to look at Fiora and shot her a smile, making her look away as her cheeks began to blush.
'That little woman... She's surprisingly bashful...'
Davis grinned before he stood up and walked towards her. He pushed her aside and sat beside her on the little space available on the cushioned chair.
"...!"
Fiora became panicky. She could feel her heart rapidly beating as if she was in a life or death situation. As much as she knew that he was going to give her something like he did for her elder sister, she didn't know how to reciprocate.
But Davis didn't say anything for a while.
He merely sat with her while the others sent him soul transmissions, telling him that he was teasing her too much.
"Hhm, Fiora..." Suddenly, Davis opened his mouth, "I'm thinking of reserving one or two Wind Attribute Peak-Level Spirit Stones for my little sister Diana. What do you think?"
"Huh?" Fiora blinked before she bit her lips.
'Why? Why is he asking me...!? Is this a test?'
She panicked more, making her heart pound even more rapidly.
"You- You should give her. I mean, do whatever you want to do. Why are you asking me?"
Fiora's voice was meek as she lowered her head when she suddenly sensed a strong yet warm hand wrap around her waist. She turned to look at him, her limpid eyes matching gazes with him.
"Why not?" Davis felt amused.
"You may not have officially become my wife, but I still consider you one of my wives because not only did we do it, but I love you more than you could think, Fiora. I'm rather looking forward to the day when I can gift you this spatial ring with wind-attribute treasures as a marriage gift."
Davis smiled at her when she suddenly pounced on him and wrapped her arms around his body, burying her head on his chest as she quivered ever so lightly.
"Sweet-talker..."
"Beguiler..."
"Playboy..."
Such words ended up falling on his head from Evelynn, Isabella, and Mo Mingzhi through soul transmission, but he paid no heed to them as he gently caressed Fiora's head. He knew that Fiora liked to act tough and vocalize reality, but because of that, she tended to feel less important in his harem.
Time and time again, he repeated for her to not think like that, but as expected, it was difficult to change a person's nature. Still, he was sure of one thing, that he needed to constantly reassure his women.
After all, he could feel some distance after he was titled the Emperor of Death, although not from his women whom he married. It was only from the women he didn't. Nevertheless, he didn't want to become such an overbearing existence to them.
They were sweet, lovable, and followed his words as he pleased.
How could he mistreat them?
Besides, no one was mind readers, nor were they possessors of Heart Intent.
If he didn't tell them that he loved them, they wouldn't know, especially when he possessed so many women. This wasn't strictly applied to Fiora. After all, he recalled having to convince Natalya that he loved her the same before she could fully possess trust in him that he would never abandon her.
'Well, Fiora's thoughts would change once I marry her...' He became convinced.
This also made him recall Ancestor Cornelia's words that made him agreeable to marrying Nadia. If he didn't treat Nadia the same as his wives, she wouldn't feel the same.
After some time, the two remaining Dragon Families still didn't arrive. Davis and his women gathered together and began talking about how they should kill them if they didn't show up, although it only lasted for a little while before he began to flirt with the beautiful ladies.
Even a banquet began shortly, making them feast on a wide variety of delicious meat as they engaged in discussions pertaining to their future, planning what Fiora's marriage would be like until they finally decided that it wouldn't be grand but an Alstreim Family event that was small scale with a limited amount of invitees.
When asked why she would say that, Fiora giggled and answered.
"No, I don't want any outsiders attending our marriage. I'm more interested in becoming one with Davis than looking at some random people..."
Fiora boldly stated as she playfully smiled, her cheeks blushing. In truth, she didn't want to be dazzling than her elder sister.
Mo Mingzhi whistled before she spoke, "Sweet. I would like the same~"
"I understand." Davis acknowledged, "That leaves only Sophie and Niera because Shirley already stated that as long as her marriage was done with her father by her side, she was okay with anything."
"Usually 'okay with anything' means that the higher or greater it is, the better, you know~"
Mo Mingzhi smirked at him while Davis couldn't help but nod.
"My worries are that I would not be able to make love with her because she is pregnant with my child."
"How about-"
"No, don't even go there."
"Ah~"
Davis reached his hand towards Mo Mingzhi, causing her to scream and clasp his hand with her two hands. The next moment, she pushed her big bosoms towards him and whispered over his ear.
"If you feel lonely that night, just know that my room will be open."
Davis's eyes gleamed before his lips curved, "Didn't you say that we can only do it after we marry?"
Mo Mingzhi became embarrassed before she rolled her eyes, "Come on... you're bullying me~ I can't possibly hold myself back that long unless I fully seclude myself in cultivation~"
Davis saw that Mo Mingzhi's eyes were turning passionate and emboldened, making him think that he might take her after midnight.
"Ah~ If it's going to be like that, then I can't hold back too~"
Fiora stuck to him from the other side, both of them pushing their bosoms against him in an attempt to seduce him.
"..."
Evelynn, Isabella, and Natalya looked at each other before they shook their heads, feeling a bit of heartache since they already had their fair share of nights with him.
The people viewing them were also flabbergasted.
Claire didn't know what they were speaking about as there was a sound barrier put up, but she possessed a smile on her face.
She felt unusual because the more she saw her son's women fawn over him without fighting amongst themselves, the more she found polygamy acceptable. She couldn't help but look at Logan, wondering if she should do more for him because, unlike Davis, who seemed to be spending time with his wives equally, Logan looked after her and Nora more compared to his concubines.
Right now, she was looking after Evan Loret, and Nora was also busy looking after Laura Loret. Their babies had become more important, so they had less time to spend with Logan, making her come to a decision.
Time passed again.
It wasn't until that it was almost midnight that news that the Zlatan Family and Domitian Family were on their way finally arrived.
"The Zlatan Family and Domitian Family from the Four Dragon Families have arrived with their tributes and bitterness."
Davis and the others had returned to their seats by this time. Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim announced their arrival, but he didn't show any middle fingers because he was commanded not to provoke them, making him feel rather confused.
Nevertheless, a smirk appeared on his face once he saw that the two families that harmed Earth Dragon Queen Isabella the most arrived together with two veiled beauties in two palanquins carried by four powerhouses each, he knew that they were scared shitless and had given up!
Most likely, they were none other than the two women who were hailed as the Domitian Family's Dragon Queen and Zlatan Family's Dragon Queen!
