At the moment Davis just arrived, Top Disciple Azzuren Rein kept a smile on his face, a smirk hanging on his confident lips as he stared at the crimson palace. Raising his hands, he professed his love for Top Disciple Shirley, seemingly looking convinced that he would have her in his grasp soon.
He appeared to be a handsome man with striking crimson eyes that seemed fiery and adorned along with his shapely nose and chin, he looked extremely attractive, no different than a young master in the stories everyone here read, but with the crimson-robed top disciple burning phoenix ridge attire enveloping him, he looked heroic and desirable, easily able to earn favor from women just like Davis.
"Leave. You cannot harass Top Disciple Shirley like this without any valid reason..." A Grand Elder spoke, his expression looking annoyed.
"How could this be harassment? Grand Elder Erich Weiss, are you sure that you are not impeding me so that you can wed Shirley to your Weiss Family?"
Top Disciple Azzuren Rein remained standing his ground, refusing to leave. Three other experts behind his back backed his actions, all seeming to be Elders by their clothes, in other words, Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Experts.
However, considering the power dynamic, it didn’t seem like they were here to fight but make trouble.
"Insolent!"
Indeed, Grand Elder Erich Weiss’s expression did fall.
"We Weiss are not such hypocrites! Our Sect Master wants to protect Shirley from vile people, and that includes you, Reins!"
"Mhm? Vile? How are we vile? How am I vile? Am I supposed to not court Shirley? Could it be that having many wives is something vile? Don’t tell me that when you have twelve wives, Grand Elder Erich Weiss..." Top Disciple Azzuren Rein rolled his eyes.
"You...!" Grand Elder Erich Weiss became a bit taken aback by this brat’s brazenness. His fists clenched, wanting to punch him right in his face to oblivion, but he knew that he could not do something like that or risk internal conflict when both of them were such high-profile characters.
He was only second to Sect Master Lea Weiss in the Weiss Family, so his actions would also represent her will. He honestly was not afraid of Grand Elder Valerian, but there were two existences he could not hope to offend, with one of them being Sect Master Lea Weiss.
For some reason, her instruction for him was to not go overboard in dealing with the Rein Family if they were to ever make trouble, making him inwardly confused. If he couldn’t go overboard, how could he stop their brazenness?
He couldn’t understand.
Nevertheless...
"I never said that it was vile to have many women, but it is vile to force a woman!" He flicked his sleeves, harrumphing in derision.
"Huh?" Top Disciple Azzuren Rein looked flabbergasted, looking around before he smiled, "When did I force her? I was only professing my love to her valor and beauty, and yet, Grand Elder is barring me from visiting her up close, even accusing me of forcing her."
"Heh! A toad lusting after swan meat." Grand Elder Erich Weiss sneered, "You’re not worthy..."
Top Disciple Azzuren Rein’s expression froze, his lips becoming unamused as the smile slowly faded. He turned to look at the other Grand Elder and widened his eyes.
"Does Grand Elder Wolfram Bach feel the same?"
The other Grand Elder possessed a winding hairstyle, his crimson hair tied into many knots over his neck as it flowed smoothly till his waist. His young face flickered as his eyes narrowed, but he just harrumphed.
"Threatening me already at such a young age, are we? Although my Bach Family is currently inadequate, we will gain an additional Ninth Stage Powerhouse with Neil Bach’s extraordinary talent. He is only second to you in terms of Top Disciple Rankings and wouldn’t lose to you in terms of talent, but even I would say that he severely lacks talent and prowess if he wants to court Top Disciple Shirley."
"Let me reiterate for you again. You’re merely a dirty toad lusting after a heavenly bird. Scram! Otherwise, I will have to slap you for disrespecting us Grand Elders with your rude mouth."
Top Disciple Azzuren Rein’s expression went ugly. He swiveled his head back and stared at his elders, but they seemed to warn him not to make a move with their eyes as they stared back at him.
His expression increasingly trembled before he turned his head back and smiled.
"I’ll be back soon..."
Turning around with a flick of his sleeves, he left along with his entourage.
In mid-air, Davis looked dumbfounded.
’Hey, wait! You’re not supposed to leave...’ He blinked, looking at Top Disciple Azzuren Rein’s departing figure, ’Well, if you’ll be back soon, I’ll be waiting for the right moment to strike. After all, you’re just a foot soldier, and I want to kill the general.’
Davis descended to the entrance of the crimson palace, landing in front of the two Grand Elders. He clasped his hand and smiled with a carefree expression.
"Thank you for your free protection services. Much appreciated..."
The two Grand Elders’ eyes twitched while he walked forwards, passing by them to enter the crimson palace amidst their judgemental gazes. They blinked, looking at each other before they shrugged.
"Is he actually a protector? Why don’t I sense any undulations from him other than his soul force?"
"Grand Elder Erich feels the same? I think he is deeply skilled with his essence energy and martial energy to suppress all his undulations within his body. Moreover, it is possible that he is a family member of Shirley’s. Otherwise, I don’t see how our Sect Master could allow him to stay beside our prized gem."
"True..."
Grand Elder Erich Weiss nodded but frowned. He still didn’t like, no matter who it may be, to near Shirley. However, he couldn’t do anything about it as Sect Master Lea Weiss only disclosed that he was quite mysterious, further instructing him to keep an eye on him and make sure that he doesn’t do anything harmful to Shirley.
"Well, another gem, an extraordinary one, is also in there, loyally protecting her senior sister."
"Right, there’s little to no room for him to do anything harmful."
"..."
The atmosphere became silent again, not one strand of soul sense, or onlookers present or even sneaking around Shirley’s Crimson Palace. The security was that tight!
In the Crimson Palace, Davis headed towards Shirley’s room. On the way, he abruptly met up with the little Freya and dodged her punch when she tried to ambush him playfully, thinking that she had hidden perfectly from him in the turning corridor.
"Hehehehe..."
Then, she disappeared towards another path, snickering with her evil laughter as if she was planning to ambush him again.
Davis shook his head and smiled, feeling that she was just a little kid. He continued to walk and soon neared the destination before he knocked. The door opened a bit later as Esvele Zelte appeared. She lightly bowed, her big bosoms being restrained by her crimson top disciple robe attracted his gaze before her lovely face did.
"Welcome back."
She moved two steps back and then raised her head, adopting a type of highly respectful behavior towards him, usually shown towards the authoritative class.
"Has she exited seclusion?" Davis asked as he closed the door behind.
Esvele shook her head, "Senior sister is still in the process of stabilizing her cultivation."
"I see..." Davis nodded, "You did well looking after her while I was away for this little while."
Esvele blinked before she slightly blushed, "No... I didn’t do anything."
"Really?"
"Yes, senior sister was protected by the two Grand Elders outdoor. Since I can’t hear that vile person’s voice anymore, I guess he was told to scram. I really didn’t do anything..."
Davis smiled, his legs moving forward before he stood in front of Esvele as he closed the appropriate distance between a man and a woman, their faces inches away.
Esvele’s expression froze, feeling her entire being chill up in a second. If she took a step forward, her big bosoms would hit his chest. Her lips quivered, wanting to say something but the next words he uttered caused her soul to feel a different kind of chill.
"I heard you betrayed Shirley when she first recruited you. She may have forgiven you, but you don’t know that I loathe betrayers the most, right?"
His sharp eyes seeped into her heart, almost giving her cold feet, but she stood her ground as her expression trembled.
"I am aware of my sins, and I want nothing more than to erase that past. However, I will prove to you senior brother or anyone that I require to that I will never do something so foolish ever again!"
Esvele’s expression remained solemn, a glint of determination shining in her eyes.
"Heh!" Davis sneered, "It is easy to put into words. Why don’t you prove it with something substantial?"
"I can swear to the heavens if senior brother wants that..."
"No, I’m asking for something substantial..."
Esvele’s brows furrowed, but she still nodded her head, "I’m willing to sign a Blood Soul Contract to prove my loyalty to senior sister Shirley."
However, Davis still shook his head.
"No, no. I’m asking for something even more substantial..." As he said so, his lips curved into a lewd smile as he cast a gaze at her towering bosoms.
Esvele instantly understood his meaning as her expression fell. Her small fists secretly clenched underneath her sleeves, feeling a type of disgust that welled up within her heart, the disgust she had towards all men who looked at her that way.
Davis took a step back and turned to the side, casting his gaze elsewhere as he adopted the air of an expert.
"You know too many secrets of us and have already betrayed once. No one would believe your words anymore as you have shattered the trust. However, I’m willing to take a gamble if you were to give your body to me. As you become mine, there is nothing I would be afraid of as I would be assured. Moreover, you would only benefit in the end if you were to have my child."
Silence reigned in the atmosphere, making it incredibly solemn.
"Think carefully before you answer because I won’t tolerate any mistakes."
Davis looked back at her, a smile appearing on his face as he looked at her rosy lips.
"However, you can give your answer later. But now, you must kiss me as a promise to keep this between us."
Davis moved closer again as he reached out his hand, grabbing her shoulders.
Esvele trembled as she looked at the charming man in front of her, look diabolically ugly at this moment. She lowered her head instantly, a resolute voice escaping from her lips.
"I refuse!"
"...!"
She pushed Davis away, her moist eyes looking at him in anger as she bellowed.
"You’re just as much as trash as those men out there! I can’t believe senior sister Shirley fell in love with a man like you!"
