Chapter 2077: Tina’s Decision

Her tone underwent a one-eighty degree change, making Davis know that it was Myria who switched with Ellia.

“However, if this incomplete Smelting Three Elements Soul Physique of hers solidifies as planned, then she would lose the ability to shape it into a Four Elements Soul Physique as physiques of this level are not something that could easily re-molded. The chances of remolding are way less than shaping up a Four Elements Soul Physique that it could be only done whilst it is still in a transformative state, but you can’t keep up this for long, or else her soul would collapse from being unable to solidify by itself as this is only a byproduct of that fake Lesser Five Elements Killing Formation Bed and the Aching Desolate Soul Ailment, not an innate physique.”

“Now, make your choice.”

Myria raised her hand and gestured, causing Davis to feel the pressure as he turned to glance at Tina’s joyful yet unsure expression. To him, it was obvious that she wanted this yet couldn’t decide because of the dangers involved in it. If possible, he also wanted to make her as strong. However, if it concerns her life deeply, then…

“It can’t be helped.” Davis heaved a breath, “We’ll solidify her Smelting Thr-“

“No, I’ll walk that path!”

Tina took a step forward and clenched her fists, her expression appearing determined and courageous.

Myria raised a brow while Davis stared at Tina, heavily frowning.

“Tina, do you even understand what you’re saying?”

“I know what I’m saying…!” Tina shuddered, “All I wanted to do is be by your side, but you… your prowess keeps increasing like it has no end. If I don’t follow, then I’m afraid that I’ll get left behind.”

“Tina, why do you think that I would abandon you? There’s no way I-“

“Yes, you wouldn’t, but it would be shameless of me to tag as your woman when I actually have an opportunity to climb up to your level, no matter how dangerous it may be to my life.”

“Don’t be stupid.” Davis waved his hand, “You’re already exhausted as it is, so I won’t let you incur more burden when all I want to do is protect you and allow you to live a good life without-“

“I don’t want that…!” Tina lashed out, holding the collar of his robe, “As your wife, I want to share your burdens and for that, getting stronger is the only way. Back then, I’m sure you had the same ideology for Evelynn, wanting to protect her and look after her but after she became a fey and got too strong, didn’t you start depending on her!?”

Tears fell from her amethyst eyes as they gleamed with an endearing yet sorrowful glint.

“I want you to depend on me as well… just like the time when you said that you wanted me to concoct pills… I was happy that you wanted me…”

Davis remained stunned by her actions and her crying voice at this moment, as he had never seen Tina be this adamant. However, the emotions that he could see in her eyes weren’t greed for power, nor was it something ambitious.

It was pure desire, a desire to earn his attention.

The moment he realized it, Davis’s expression became awkward and a bit ashamed.

In Tina’s heart, they were supposed to be each other’s first as she had seen the derailed fate, but it was not the case in reality. Despite that, she still wanted to be with him and love him, giving her all, but he hadn’t given her enough attention because he was busy with cultivation, and she was also busy, but why was she immersed in cultivation?

It was to attract his attention.

He had been planning to marry Tina in the immortal world once they escaped the Calamity Light, as all the other girls accepted that notion as well, but how long could they endure it without seeing him once in a while?

That was where he was wrong, and this had been the junction where Tina’s lid became undone. She could no longer endure the loneliness, thinking that she could attract his attention if she became strong and showered with love, especially when Eterna had also been born. Considering it this way, the others are also more likely to feel that their distance with him has increased more than it decreased.

It wasn’t that his efforts to look after them weren’t paying off, but with an interval of two months and a baby being born, they were bound to feel estranged somewhat.

Davis felt that he failed to consider that and wrapped his arms around Tina, pulling her body towards him.

“Sorry, I let you down.”

“Eh…?” Tina uttered a sound of confusion, but the tears just wouldn’t stop flowing down for some reason.

Before long, she was already crying into his chest, entrusting her body to be held by him.

Myria blinked, not understanding what was going on but mused that it was probably an internal matter between them. She didn’t say anything and waited, having her eyes closed.

“I’m sorry.” Tina finally separated from him and wiped her tearful face, exuding a gentle smile, “I said too much and have gone over the limit. I’m shameless if I don’t take the opportunity to get stronger, choosing safety and laziness over intensive work, but changing my soul physique also requires your help, which is still shameless, considering that I haven’t even married you yet, much less have given my body. Shirley, it’s ironic, isn’t it?”

She cast a glance at Shirley, causing the latter to nod heavily.

“Very much so.”

“Shirley…”

Davis gawked at Shirley, trying to tell her to be a bit more sensitive. However, Shirley smirked.

“What? It’s indeed shameless, but so what?”

She pointed at Davis and looked at Tina, “This person over here didn’t even marry me but didn’t I have to sacrifice my innocence to save him? Look at how many women he has, even though we love him so much! Amongst us all, he’s the epitome of shamelessness, so it’s fine if we’re all shameless since he chooses us. Moreover, it’s our privilege to depend on him until we kick the bucket!”

“…”

Davis watched Shirley bullshit with a straight face and immense righteousness in her voice. Just a while ago, she was saying that she couldn’t be shameless and enjoy herself when Clara was hurting, wanting to help her, and now, she was saying that it’s fine to be shameless. However, her words couldn’t help but put a content smile on his face.

On the other hand, Tina was thoroughly stunned before she closed her mouth and started giggling, tears running down her eyes again. She was caught between laughter and being moved to tears, causing her to lower her head as her body shook. Wiping her tears, she looked grateful to Shirley.

“I became jealous of you, Shirley. I’m sorry. I’ll have to apologize to Evelynn as well for becoming jealous of the prowess she holds at the moment.”

“Not a problem.” Shirley magnanimously waved her hand, “I’ll tell you right now. In my imperial father’s harem, jealousy is common amongst his empress and concubines, but it is up to the man, my imperial father, to relieve that feeling of jealousy with sweet whispers and gifts. We accept Davis’s feelings for other women, and in turn, it’s up to him to look plenty after us and relieve us of our worries.”

Tina’s eyes brightened before she brightly smiled, “I agree.”

Shirley suddenly pointed at another person, “The same goes for you, Dalila.”

“Uh, me…? I don’t have any problem…”

The moment Dalila opened her mouth, her body shrunk as though speaking half-truth and half-lie, but Shirley simply smiled, not dwelling on it. There was only so much she could do, and it was up to the person themselves to see that Davis was giving his best as well, not that she could lecture on it considering that she was guilty of taking Davis’s time and attention all to herself and her child in these few days.

Davis saw that things had become amicable before he turned to look at Myria.

“I’m sorry, Myria. Were our actions and words quite laughable to you?”
