Chapter 5024  Stumbling

Davis wanted to go visit Mira and Hexena, making sure they're okay, before he healed them, sparing no effort, even if it means getting riddled with a huge amount of karmic burden since he didn't fear it anymore.

He was of the idea that the only karmic burden that could faze him right now was the secrets of the universe and the things outside it.

That's why Fallen Heaven made sure not to let him dwell on those memories he had when unleashing a cursed artifact against the Will of two Supremes slumbering in the seed and the gourd.

He still didn't intend to explore these memories. After all, it was still possible to drown while drinking spirit water or slip on a puddle, so he would always remain cautious.

Nonetheless, Evelynn told him that he didn't need to fret over it.

"Let them recover normally as they sleep since there isn't any threat to their lives. Then you can go help heal their bloodsoul essence, allowing them to regain vigor."

"Oh…"

Davis, absentmindedly, uttered, his gaze stuck and somewhat intense.

"…"

Evelynn flicked her purple-red hair behind her ear as the silver highlights at the tip glimmered under the lights of the chandeliers, exuding the charm of a seductress. If she had been a stranger, Davis might've received a slap for his unscrupulous gaze, but it only made Evelynn more proud of herself.

For this occasion, she was also dressed well.

She still wore a purple robe, but it was no longer simple but luxurious, and her outerwear consisted of a black cloak with a silver lining before connecting to a patch of black fur that surrounded her shoulder and neck, making her appear quite mysterious and dignified.

Davis nearly wanted to ask who she was, but held back and shot a look at Zenova at that time.

Zenova's entry into the harem brought many changes, one of them being that the ladies started caring more for their appearances. He didn't know if they felt endangered or were inspired by her, nor was he intent on spying on their emotions like a peepster.

There should be some form of privacy lest the atmosphere become somewhat oppressive. Besides, if he knew everything about the people around him, what they're thinking and what they're up to, then the color of the world would be lost.

Hence, he restrained himself. At the same time, he also heard Mingzhi harp about restraining herself.

He wasn't sure what that was about since he had long diagnosed Mingzhi and didn't think there was anything strange with her mentality. If he had to imagine, he could only say that her physique was increasingly becoming volatile, making her resort to extreme measures to deal with any undesirable issue, especially when it's an issue of survival.

When he relayed his findings, Mingzhi nodded and nudged at Zenova as though telling her it wasn't a cause for concern.

Zenova could only shake her head, indicating that this matter wasn't her responsibility. She had warned in good faith, and the rest was up to Mingzhi to decide how she wanted to traverse her path.

In a few hours, a lot of matters and issues were raised in the gathering.

After they all congratulated Panqa on her pregnancy and held her in high regard, the gathering turned into a fight between the ladies, since they were unable to decide who would get him next.

This was naturally because he stayed four freaking weeks with Aila.

The person in question was absent since Davis told her to rest, and he unsurprisingly shielded her from heavy artillery shot by the jade beauties.

In the end, he managed to make them forgive her even though it was actually his fault for staying so long. They didn't blame him, making Davis somewhat surprised.

It seemed like they finally acknowledged his incredible work ethic and discipline when it comes to cultivation, even if it was dual cultivation, or did they?

Davis was doubtful since the protest was more along the lines of demanding Aila stop using her charm ability since it would disrupt the harem.

Aila was downright cute and charming, while Zenova was refined and dignified.

They complained the newcomers were too much, especially the Celestial Fairies, and they didn't even know what Xiu Juili could do yet with her mesmerizing eyes capable of being immune to Heart Intent if they weren't wrong.

However, the discussion quickly turned political with them arranging many matters of the Davis Family and the other families, mainly overseen by the Heads of the Administration Department: Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley.

At first, Davis listened, but as it became more complex, he excused himself and went outside.

The wives were speechless.

They were discussing matters because he was here. For him to walk out, there was no use talking about it if he couldn't help them approve of the issues that had cropped up over the past few years.

Mingzhi inwardly sighed.

He hadn't even gone through the backlog of reports and documents yet, so how could he join the discussion? He would only be making a fool out of himself. She took over and skillfully guided the discussion.

Meanwhile, Davis stepped outside and stood on a cliff as he overlooked the Davis Family Estate.

He didn't exit because it was too confusing for him but because he wanted to be free of all issues at least on a bright day with clear skies despite the dullness spreading outside over the desolate air spreading.

If it were a normal man, they would already be smoking a cigarette to calm themselves down, but Davis simply looked up at the sky, his expression calm yet mysterious. Eventually, he moved his hand forward, trying to gesture or measure something, but then shook his head as though it was too dangerous.

However, he didn't manage to extricate himself as he repeatedly thought about it.

In the end, his eyes caught sight of a maid whose name he barely knew walking down the stairs of the peak.

He gulped as though he was planning something wicked before weaving something and muttering.

"The young woman descended the stairs, but suddenly, she noticed something pulling on her leg, but it turned out to be only a mere breeze. As she tries to dodge in panic, she steps on an uneven footing, and her legs go limp, causing her to trip and fall."

He came to a pause as he looked at the maid with a dubious gaze.

As she walked down the long, winding path of stairs, nothing happened, making him sigh as he turned to look up.

"…?"

His eyes abruptly widened as he saw a King-Tier Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon flying in the skies. He instantly shot up, knowing it was Barakiel. His Celestia was standing on Barakiel's head, appearing to have tamed him or something.

"Ah~"

But he was so high up in the skies that he failed to hear the cry of the maid who tripped and fell to the ground, her expression full of embarrassment as she looked around and glanced towards the place where she had last seen the master of the house.

For an Immortal King like her to trip, she must commit suicide no matter what.

She finally heaved a sigh of relief, thinking no one had seen her embarrassing fall before she stealthily stood up and went back to her work.
