Chapter 1480 - Heart's Wish
Alstreim Family, Grand Alstreim City, Ancestral Hall.
Davis’s avatar walked into the Ancestral Hall and saw the two Ancestors who abruptly called him.
"It seems like the Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s nectar did wonders for you two. Did both of you break into the Martial Sage Stage?"
"Yes, we are immensely grateful to you for that."
Davis frowned at Ancestor Tirea Snow’s reply. Despite her grateful words, she sounded rather solemn...?
"Did something happen?" He asked in doubt.
"Davis, I think our plan to announce the marriage between Tirea and me at a later date is no longer required." Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke with a heavy sigh as he held his forehead.
"Why?"
Davis couldn’t help but blink.
Everything was going well between the two Ancestors.
There were rarely any breakups in the cultivation world. When people leave, one of them ends up dying, but these two looked fairly close, making him feel confused.
"I’ll make it short since I understand that you’re busy." Ancestor Tirea Snow sighed, "One of my Falling Snow Sect Elders, whom I thought was on my side, ended up divulging my discreet activities to the world, and the world likely knows that I have something going on with Dian by now. It’s just a matter of time before powerhouses come here, act righteously for no reason while demanding Dian to give an explanation."
"What?" Davis frowned in annoyance, "Does that Elder has anything to gain by doing this?"
"I don’t know." Ancestor Tirea Snow shook her head, "All I know is that she eloped with Weapon Refining Villa’s Villa Master, creating a massive scandal along with mine, but we now know who was the mastermind for all of the mess that the Falling Snow Sect experienced over the years."
Davis blinked before he calmed down.
"What’s her name?"
"She was a Grand Elder named Roma Silvermoon."
Ancestor Tirea Snow took a deep breath as her bosoms heaved.
"I don’t blame her if she had just gone away. Falling Snow Sect’s women are like this most of the time. Once they choose a man from outside, they’ll end up betraying the sect one way or another. I’m not one to speak, but so far, Dian hadn’t done anything that would warrant me to betray the Falling Snow Sect, but that woman..."The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
Her eyes became filled with killing intent.
"She has to die! She caused so many young maidens of our sect to be kidnapped and violated!"
"So be it. No matter who comes, it is inevitable that they’re going to feel regretful for the rest of their lives. that is if they even had their lives with them after coming here..."
Davis spoke, and his words were like the heavenly mandate that put a wide smile on their faces.
However...
"But before that, we have to deal with a snake that’s lurking between you two..."
======
Hundreds of kilometers away from a particular Imperial Capital, two women were flying with reverberating speed, leaving the onlookers fazed as they couldn’t believe such cultivators existed. Still, looking at the direction they were traveling, their expressions became discerning as they nodded their heads in realization.
If they were from that place, then the undulations of these two women made sense!
"Emine, there’s no mistaking it, right? He, my beloved, came back, right?"
Quickly, she made her way to the Throne Hall and saw that no one was there. She clicked her tongue in impatience and swiftly made her way to the ruler’s room, also unimpeded by any guards who may be present before she slammed the door open.
"Cool little sis, did your big brother come back!?"
"..."
"Uhm..." Mo Mingzhi panicked, "I think I entered the wrong room..."
She stepped back the way she came in and shut the door as slowly and quietly as possible before scraming the hell out of this place.
"Husband, do maids in the imperial castle walk around like this? But, she didn’t look like a maid..."
Nora Alstreim couldn’t help but find it strange.
"Sigh, she’s Davis’s woman, or so she claims by herself..."
Logan sighed, looking at Claire before they both shook their heads. Nora didn’t quite understand, but she abruptly came to possess a sleazy smile.
"Husband, it’s time you go meet another one of your concubines..."
"Oh, it’s already time..."
Logan scratched his head as he awkwardly excused himself out of the room while the two women went into a mode of full-blown laughter, laughing themselves out in the end as their expressions went red.
On the other end, Mo Mingzhi, who ran away to the ends of the Imperial Castle, slowed down. Her mind inwardly screamed.
’Ahh!! That’s his parents! I didn’t expect them to have come back as well! Well, of course, they would’ve come back for his marriage. You’re such an idiot, Mingzhi! But who was that other woman? Nah, his father has concubines, so I guess it isn’t strange for him to have two women in the same room.’
As she mused, she couldn’t help imagine the same matter but with herself.
’Would I also have to be in the same room with other women if I became Davis’s...?’
Mo Mingzhi pursed her lips, stopping at a corner before she sighed as she lowered her head.
’What the fudge am I doing with my life...?’
"Mistress Mingzhi, I have to go report my duties to Empress Cla- Ah, no First Princess Clara."
Emine corrected herself as she could see that Clara’s father came back and became Emperor again.
"Go ahead..."
Mo Mingzhi lazily uttered before Emine nodded and took her leave. The former kept walking the pathway leading to the outside as her expression became complex. She suddenly felt dull as she lost a bit of her excitement when she felt that she had to be one among many flowers and not the sole radiantly dark flower.
’I thought that I had prepared to be a part of his harem, but it seems like I was just deluding myself...’
She wasn’t a stranger to this world anymore. The majority of the men here had two or more wives if they could afford it, especially if they were wealthy. Most husbands treated their wives with a bit of fairness, treating with care and splurging their riches on them, but there were also equally trash who mistreated their wives.
She understood that just because it was polygamy didn’t mean it was inherently an abusive relationship because she saw plenty of abusive monogamous relationsh.i.p.s on Earth.
She was sure that Davis treated his women fairly, but the thought of needing to share him with other women didn’t sit well with her because she had been molded by an intrinsically monogamous society. Even though polygamy was starting to become a trend back on Earth, it could only be afforded by those who possess wealth and status.
She didn’t necessarily approve of it but didn’t disapprove of it either as she knew some unbiased truths of the world.
’Stupid Mingzhi. You are not sharing him with others. It’s the other way around. Evelynn and Isabella are sharing him with you if ever at all they agree for you to be with him...’
Mo Mingzhi shook and raised her head when her expression suddenly changed, her jet-black pupils reflecting a man walking from the entrance with four solid-looking beauties beside him.
Her eyes lit up, and her body went stiff in attention, forgetting what she all thought previously.
’Screw it. I’m going to make him mine and fulfill my heart’s wish...!’
She walked forwards with stately and elegant steps, arriving in front of them before she blocked their path, standing in front of the five of them in a decisive manner as she matched her gaze with him!
