Chapter 4765  Near The Spatial Vortex

"…" Rioxys Plume gulped. She nodded instead of answering like a scared black rabbit.

In fact, she had seen him do more than die.

Pursing her lips, she answered, "You came back a ghost and then later restored your human form before collapsing. Are you really human?'

"I believe I am." Davis responded softly as though he couldn't believe his own words anymore.

However, comprehending Enigmatic Heart Laws should be clear evidence that he was human. He didn't know what else to say.

Breathing a sigh, he asked her not to tell him about anything as he trusted Fallen Heaven's decision. However, he did ask her how he was brought here and what this place was.

Rioxys Plume took a moment to push away those horrors in her head and breathed out.

"It's been ten days since you revived yourself somehow. After the collapse of the Myriad Coiling Spirit Peak, grandfather hid himself in the void and took us far away. I told him we needed to return to this place where you showed me, so he dropped us here and left. It seems like he is still bent on getting vengeance for grandmother… also, he has a letter for you."

She handed him a scroll, and he took it, unrolling it.

[You are… dangerous. I told you not to use that damned Cursed Artifact, but… it somehow ended up saving many in the mountain. I believe you can take care of my granddaughter. I will try to survive until you can bring my daughter back to me. As for how you can send her here, my daughter should know.]

Davis's brows flickered as he noticed the difference in the wording at the end.

Did this mean that he shouldn't return without the daughter or that he shouldn't come back at all?

Davis knew he shouldn't stay here. After offending the Supremes by pitting them against the Will of the Malevolent Flesh Erasure Fan, staying in the Elemental Dimension was dangerous.

He kept the scroll inside his ring and said, "Let's leave quickly. We don't have time."

"Okay…" Rioxys Plume landed on the ground and dug out a formation disc.

"This is a formation disc containing grandmother's spirit essence. Thanks to this, we can remain concealed."

"A True Deity Grade Concealment Formation Disc?" Davis was shocked.

But he quickly expressed his disappointment as he knew he wouldn't be able to take it back.

'Utmost, I could use it to hide the entrance that would open next time, but what use is that since it might not open until the next opening? Who knows how long that would be? But still, it should be helpful in transporting all my people without being found…'

"Wait! Where's the Calamity that was here?"

"Grandpa put it to sleep."

"Good…" Davis nodded, "We need its presence to keep those other cultivators away from exploring this region. Also, what about that charm spirit?"

"Ah… I think grandpa took her away." Rioxys Plume blinked as she looked away.

"…" Davis frowned.

He didn't say anything for a few seconds, but was unable to keep quiet as he saw her life ring. He could tell that the charm spirit was literally inside since his Will had plundered hers, allowing him to feel her presence.

"Rioxys, you cannot lie to me again, okay?" He uttered softly.

Rioxys Plume nearly jumped as she hid her ring behind. She looked at Davis with teary eyes, "I… I don't want her to die."

"…"

Davis felt uncomfortable with Rioxys quickly crying to get her way. He knew she was stubborn, but she was still a child in his eyes. She might not be that different from Calypsea in terms of mental development.

"If… if you want to kill her, then you must kill me first…!" Rioxys Plume declared with a scared yet determined expression.

"You-!"

Davis pointed at her, sounding furious, yet his expression was helpless.

As long as the Fairy Velvetmoon appeared in front of him, he could command her to die. He didn't know if it would work, as there might be a severe backlash from her Will, which might allow her to regain control. Regardless, his hatred was so high that he was willing to waste spirit essence even at the cost of killing her now, since he wouldn't be able to refine it by himself.

However, with Rioxys Plume this stubborn, how could he do anything?

With this darkness spirit pleading many times for him to spare her, how could he remain heartless?

Davis realized that he could kill Fairy Velvetmoon despite all odds, but Rioxys Plume would never be the same. Her hopeful nature would die, and her gratefulness and closeness to the Davis Family would slowly die.

Even strategically, he might lose the support of a powerful Exalt. But more than anything, she might even retaliate, which would then end up making them enemies.

At this point, it was no longer a matter of making Bylai saddened.

He would also grieve for Rioxys Plume if she became an enemy. From the start to the end, she had never let him down, asking her grandfather to save him, pleading for them not to battle, and even taking him all the way here to safety, intending to accompany them rather than her grandfather.

It wasn't a matter of her feeling grateful to the Davis Family, but him feeling more grateful to her.

Putting his hand down, he sighed with a wry smile, "At least, you could convince me by stating that she would be helpful as my slave. There should be no need to put yourself before her…"

"No, Mistress Bylai taught me to never abandon my friends…! Even if they go astray, she taught me to pull them back…! Only after expending all methods to no avail should we eliminate them out of mercy…!" Rioxys Plume echoed righteously, her eyes filled with tears.

"…" Davis could only put his head down in awkwardness since it was something their family actively taught all their children.

It seems Bylai had passed it down to Rioxys Plume and even her metal spirit, Melluca.

"Fine, fine. Just don't let her appear in front of my sight."

Davis harrumphed and waved his hand. His soul sense erupted, but it was suppressed by the dark mist, making him sigh and gesture for Rioxys Plume to take him out.

"Thank you, master!~"

Rioxys Plume cheerfully replied, wiping her tears as she sniffled. She then cast a joyful, innocent smile and took him to the place he had shown her.

Davis could only feel helpless.

He didn't know why Rioxys Plume just didn't attack him and take off. After all, it wasn't like he could harm her.

Regardless, despite the gains, this journey in the Shard Continent had been quite vexing for him, unable to do anything to those who wanted to charm him. One wanted to harm him and Rioxys to repay her master, but was protected by Rioxys, who wanted to save her no matter what, and the other wanted to love him deeply and be loved deeply to an almost fanatical degree.

He cast a glance at the Temporal Voidplane Ring, wondering if he should bring out Fairy Thunderblaze. His soul sense seeped in, and he saw her beautiful face adorned with a pained yet satisfied expression as blood dripped from her lips, striking a chord in his heart.

She was frozen in time... yet her conviction remained the same, believing he would release her and cure her from the poison.
