Chapter 3351 Having A Chat Over Tea
Calypsea excitedly danced around with Everlight in her hand.
She blipped around, each step blooming into an apocalyptic lotus of flames as she left a trail of world-ending flames in Saintess Lunaria's garden.
"..."
This made Davis momentarily freeze, but looking at Calypsea, keeping the flames at bay to their shape and then allowing it to recede like it was a natural phenomenon, he could tell that she almost had full control of her energy.
Turning to look at Lea, he saw her nod.
"More than bonding, I first wanted her to practice controlling her energy for my safety lest she accidentally burns my soul while bonding."
"That's a given."
Davis smiled as though it was a matter of course, "Your safety is of the utmost importance, and I don't doubt the decisions you make while being here."
"Understood. Also, Calypsea's appetite is big. We're running out of destructive Fire Essence, and even the Fire Essence Orb you gave me is going to deplete at the current rate she's absorbing them."
Lea felt heartened. However, she didn't forget to inform him.
Davis blinked.n)-O(.V()e.-l-)b-/1()n
Weren't those resources supposed to last at least for three or four months? Did Lea use a time chamber here?
"Are you using them as treats for Calypsea when she crosses milestones set by you?"
"Yes, you said that you won't question my decisions while I'm here."
"Alright, alright. You got me."
Lea's lips curled, causing Davis to shake his head smilingly.
"Well, I would get more, but you should also ration the remaining destructive fire attribute resources, get Calypsea to conserve energy, and hold back her hunger. Otherwise, you might be devoured by her when you run out of treats."
"Ai~ That's something I could see happening."
Davis smiled politely, but Saintess Lunaria still looked serious, with her emerald eyes still locked onto him. Eventually, her gaze fell elsewhere.
"Then what do you have in mind by hoping to ask if I am still of the mind to ascend?"
"Oh, nothing. I was just curious if the Frostcloud Sword Empress is still alive. If she is, one of my wives would be happy."
"..."
Saintess Lunaria blinked, "Do you not expect to be protected by the Frostcloud Sword Empress?"
"Oh, I do expect to be protected by the Frostcloud Sword Empress. It's just... Neither Tanya nor I would be shameless enough to seek protection from her. Instead, I was curious to learn why Saintess Lunaria thinks there are better chances of survival in the true immortal world rather than staying in the First Haven World."
"..."
Saintess Lunaria narrowed her eyes at him, not understanding his meaning.
She imagined that he would use the gift earlier to gain some benefits from her, even if it was in the form of being protected after ascension, but he said that he wasn't interested and instead asked why she would decide to ascend and asked about her chances of survival, which honestly didn't make her understand his actions.
After all, the eyes that he looked at her were definitely not those of a man who was charmed by her appearance or achievements. Even without Heart Intent, she had seen far too many gazes of those types not to be able to see through them.
Meanwhile, Davis was only curious about why she wanted to leave.
Even if Saintess Lunaria didn't know that she was the daughter of the World Master, it didn't make sense for her to leave this stable and safe sanctuary so soon.
Perhaps she was bored as she seemed to make jokes constantly to pass the time, but now, his intentions seem to have been doubted.
Nonetheless, an opportunity to talk was in front of him, so he had to take it. He had many questions, but there was one he never had time to research fully as it was left unexplored in many records, and even Myria haven't fully deciphered except that it causes one's mind to corrupt if they continue to add darkness to the soul.
"Saintess Lunaria, do you know about the Malevolent Darkness Soul Physique?"
"I do." Saintess Lunaria nodded lightly and seemed to reposition herself as she said comfortably, "If I recall correctly, your father has this physique, right?"
Davis wasn't surprised to hear that as Saintess Lunaria did indeed heal his father's soul that was karmically infected by the Accursed Warlock. He nodded but shook his head.
"Not only my father but three of my wives, Evelynn, Sophie, and Mingzhi, also have been affected by it. What do you make of this physique, and are there any unforeseeable harm because of it?"
