Divine Emperor of DeathDivine Emperor of Death
Lea tried to speak up.
She wanted to do something similar to what Mingzhi did.
However, it was too embarrassing for her. The shame was great even before she did anything. In the end, they quickly reached the auction house. They landed far away from Rowendo City, where the Opulent Shell Company's auction house was present.
"Relax, the time will come when you will naturally wrap him around your fingers~"
Mingzhi touched her shoulder and advised with a physical soul transmission.
Lea lightly nodded. She felt embarrassed to receive teachings from a junior. However, Mingzhi was also her sister, so it wasn't that she wasn't able to handle it with her prideful heart.
Everyone was then clad in black robes. They covered their faces with a hood and a mask or a veil. Calypsea returned to Lea, and Eldia returned to Davis.
Davis wondered where Nightveil was, but it seemed like Mingzhi didn't bring her to this trip. When he asked where Nightveil was during their rendezvous, Mingzhi's reply was-
"She has consumed one of the darkness-attributed resources we got from the Mystical Mansion Garden and went into slumber…"
Nightveil was a Level Four Immortal Emperor Spirit. It seemed that she would soon become Level Seven Immortal Emperor Spirit or even higher. He was glad they were making improvements to their cultivation. After all, he was afraid that Mingzhi threw Nightveil into legal studies or intelligence studies like before.
As for Nightveil slumbering, he didn't find it strange, as magical beasts and spirits do slumber when they consume a heavy resource that they can't easily digest. Of course, they could forcefully wake up, but if they were in a safe space, they would slumber to digest faster and better.
He wished Mingzhi told him about this since he felt like he didn't talk with Nightveil much.
His Mingzhi literally did whatever she wanted. But that was also one of her great points since she didn't wait for his approval unless it was really needed. She was extremely aware of his wants and don'ts.
With her together, half his job was cut. He could delegate tasks to her, but the maintenance was also high. He understood she was frustrated from so many tasks, so he was glad to give her a release almost anytime she wanted, whether it be taking out her frustrations on him or riding him.
He happily walked into the city, remembering that wonderful blow Mingzhi gave him before he came across a restaurant and invited his beauties for dinner. He was in no hurry.
He bought a lot of meat for Flamerose and Frostrose to consume. Watching them gobble yet suddenly restrain themselves in front of his gaze over manners was funny to watch. He chatted with them and got to know more about their characters, which were slightly different from those of Zahara and Yeyin.
Flamerose was more mature than the playful Zahara, and Frostrose was meeker than the cold Yeyin. Clearly, their true past had influenced their personalities. However, they didn't lose their intelligence one bit. In fact, it seemed to have only grown as they got their memories back, which also meant they got their experience back.
He also personally fed Calypsea, trying to introduce her to new dishes. However, she seemed to dislike them if they weren't fire-attributed, at the very least.
"Master~ Not fair~"
At the same time, Eldia was beyond jealous. She practically sat on his lap as she faced him and had him feed her as well.
"…" Davis could only suffer as he watched those voluptuous bosoms of her sway right in front of his eyes with each movement she made from tasting a delicacy. However, he firmly believed this was family time and fed both Calypsea and Eldia.
Fortunately, Davis had chosen a fancy restaurant and was in a private room. Otherwise, he would be instantly outed or under suspicion.
"Lea, eat well. Don't restrict yourself."
Davis also sent Lea a few dishes, seeing that she ate only a little.
"Ah… okay~"
Lea accepted his gesture as she nodded. It wasn't like she wanted to be formal with him, but she wanted him to perceive her as someone who was mature and exquisite. She wanted him to adore and admire her. Be proud of her. Depend on her.
However, she was so busy dealing with Calypsea and her own cultivation that she couldn't do anything to take care of the affairs of the Davis Family. She was a Sect Master, after all, so she thought she would be in an internal position. However, she got an external one.
Along with Natalya Stirlander and Yilla Zyrus, she was also one of the three heads of the External Affairs Department.
However, this department dealt with allies such as the Alstreim Family and the refugees.
The problem was that— Natalya and Yilla took care of everything, leaving nothing for her to deal with. She was thankful to them for giving her more time to look after Calypsea, but she wanted her help to produce valid results like Mingzhi does with the intelligence network.
She wanted to take care of the external affairs, but they didn't have significant allies or diplomatic relations with many powers. After all, the only relation they have with the powers in the true immortal world is hostility.
What was there to look after? Even if there was, Davis would be the one dealing with it as his word was their command.
Therefore, she literally had nothing to do.
She wanted to produce results in order to attract his favor, but nothing came up. She almost wanted to change departments, but Calypsea kept her busy. That little calamity was too much for anyone to control. Left alone, she might burn down a city at the height of curiosity alone.
Of course, Calypsea kept herself restricted, but that was only when she was calm. It was unknown what would happen if she was pissed off.
After eating, they finally got up and left the restaurant.
As she was on her way out, a palm grasped her waist willfully, causing her to look at Davis.
"My dear Lea, let me know if anything interests you in this city. I still couldn't marry you sooner like you wanted, but since we're in this city, let me spoil you. Anything you want— it will be yours. No questions asked."
"My love…"
Lea's eyes glazed as she looked at his sapphire eyes. Only their eyes were visible beyond their masks and veils.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! How dare you crash into me and not apologize!?"
Abruptly, a white-robed man crashed into Frostrose and turned around as he demanded an apology from her.
Frostrose simply cupped her hands and bowed lightly, "I apologize, fellow cultivator."
"So impudent! There's no sincerity in your apology!"
As the white-robed man scowled, numerous cultivators began gathering around him as they surrounded Frostrose.
"Holy shit! A random NPC event!~" Mingzhi gawked and eyed them like she was eying prey.
Davis let go of Lea and blinked at Mingzhi. He felt sorry for Mingzhi.
He had given her so many tasks that she saw this as something so exciting. To him, it was nothing but a nuisance, especially as they disturbed him when he was charming his lovely wife. He glared at them coldly.
"Little sister, I don't know what you meant by 'Enpeasee?', but did you just call us randoms? Do you even know who we are?" One of the cultivators coldly looked at Mingzhi.
Abruptly, they pulled out their bronze swords from their spatial rings as their Level One Sovereign aura blared, looking ready to fight.
