Chapter 1481 - This Question Again?
Davis’s brows raised as he looked at the oriental beauty in front of him.
Jet-black eyes and a sharp nose, and lovely crimson lips adorned her beautiful face. Davis’s past preference for oriental beauties made him feel innately attracted to her. She no longer had that shoulder-length hair and instead possessed long flowing black hair that stretched towards her waist, just like his wives and most women who liked to enrich their feminine nature.
"Well, you’ve become stronger than I expected, not to mention gorgeous, shapelier, and cleaner than your mortal self, Mingzhi."
Mo Mingzhi’s solemn expression faded as it was replaced with a heartened smile, her cheeks quickly producing a blush, "Thank you. I cultivated hard for you, for this moment."
Davis’s raised brows twitched, "Oh, okay. I have some important things to take care of, so see you later."
Mo Mingzhi felt that a single compliment had rewarded her efforts, but looking at him walk away, she panicked and grabbed his wrist.
"Wait...!"
Davis’s expression didn’t change, but inwardly, he was exasperated. It was clear that her feelings for him hadn’t changed, but he didn’t love this woman!
When he said that he had important things to do, he wasn’t lying. The situation in the First Layer had become a bit more problematic, so it was imperative that he gets his a.s.s off the bed and use his main body as well.
He figured that if he stayed in Isabella’s Grand Palace, he would be still be enjoying the time of his life, unwilling to cultivate normally or concentrate on other things even though there was the perk of dual cultivation boosting his cultivation. Coming here, he felt that there would be a change of pace, but there was a new vice attacking him already.
Mo Mingzhi was just about to continue speaking when four swords emerged out of nowhere, pointed at her.
She flinched from their unison and unwittingly let go of Davis’s wrist.
"You don’t grab our man like that in front of us, little girl. It’s extremely disrespectful."
Isabella spoke as she and her sisters kept their low-grade swords back inside their spatial ring, while Davis was equally astonished. He wouldn’t like it if other men touched his women, so he could understand their thoughts as they must’ve felt that an unfamiliar woman wanted to take advantage of him, but didn’t Isabella already approve of Mo Mingzhi?
A moment later, he understood that her individual thoughts didn’t override the sisterhood between them. He mused that they must’ve talked behind his back over stopping him from getting more women, as usual, which he didn’t find anything wrong as it was their right.
It was up to him to convince them but forget convincing... he didn’t feel much romantic towards Mo Mingzhi in the first place to even think about persuasion.
"What do you want, Mingzhi?"
He asked in an indifferent voice, despite knowing the answer, intent on pushing her away.
Mo Mingzhi was honestly intimidated by Isabella as she had that near-death experience, but hearing Davis’s words, she could feel the rejection in his tone. She wasn’t a fool, but she didn’t easily give up and bit her lips.
"Can we talk alone?"
"Please..."
She panned her gaze at his two wives and two sisters. She didn’t know who Natalya was and didn’t bother at the moment. At this point or at this moment where she finally met him again, she didn’t really care how many women he had.
All those thoughts were thrown away while there was only desperation not to lose this chance because she was aware that she was not playing a game.
Isabella looked at Evelynn and saw her shrug as if she was okay with both accepting and rejecting her request. She then looked at Natalya, who asked her who this strange woman was before she explained in a brief manner through soul transmission.
Natalya and Fiora quickly became aware before they imperceptibly nodded their heads, slightly understanding Mo Mingzhi’s circ.u.mstance before they also shrugged like Evelynn. They were given their fair share of chances, so they didn’t feel like being overbearing towards others.
’I have to make the decision...?’
"Just make me submit then..."
Davis stopped abruptly, feeling like he had heard something else.
"What... did you say?"
He couldn’t help but voice out while Mo Mingzhi walked towards him, closing the distance with a gorgeous smile on her face. She stood in front of him, reaching out her hand to place it on his c.h.e.s.t.
"I said, just make me submit. From time immemorial, a woman who has submitted wouldn’t bicker with her man unless something drastic happens, and to me, who’s going to be with a man who has married three women, you being with other women isn’t considered drastic anymore."
Davis’s sapphire eyes reflected her beautiful visage while she poked him.
"You see... I am hopelessly in love with you. Call it an obsession or whatever you want, but I need you, and that’s a fact I am aware of."
Davis’s lips twitched.
"Even so, I think we are still incompatible..."
Mo Mingzhi’s smiling expression faded as she lowered her head.
"I see..."
She took a deep breath before she raised her head and looked at him.
"I always had my doubts, but it seems like you recognize me as your daughter from the time you named me Mo Mingzhi, taking away my birth name Mo HuanHuan. Is it due to the guilt in your heart for making me an orphan...?
"..."
Davis blinked before his expression suddenly changed.
"Pftt! Hahahahaha!"
He took two steps back and began to laugh crazily, lowering his head as he held his stomach. He raised his head and pointed at her.
"You? My daughter? Ahahaha!"
He laughed again, recalling that Isabella had asked him something similar.
"Don’t make me laugh!"
He walked towards her and abruptly reached out his right hand to her neck, holding her as if he was going to choke her to death.
"...!?"
Mo Mingzhi’s eyes were wide as she couldn’t believe that he held her like this at this moment. Her face was full of shock while her moist black eyes that gazed at his smiling face caught him turning solemn.
"You don’t know my abhorrent repressed d.e.s.i.r.es at that time, Mingzhi. All I had at that time was hatred. You were lucky that I had a semblance of compassion and kindness within me even after being physically abused by your father like that. Otherwise, you would’ve been nothing but a s.e.x.u.a.l slave to me."
"Yes, daddy~"
"You!?"
Davis flinched as he let go of Mo Mingzhi and staggered back as he inwardly cried.
Just what was wrong with this woman!?
