"So... you know that the Candidacy is in nine days, right?"
Evelynn asked Davis after playfully beating him up, starting the conversation everyone wanted to hear.
Natalya and the others had already come to know that Evelynn, Isabella and Shirley would be leaving in nine days and that worried them to no end.
"Big sisters," Natalya uttered fondly yet also worriedly as she panned her gaze at the three of them, "Do you three really have to go? I mean, the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder, Fairy Thunderblaze has boldly announced her intentions to not attend. Can't we also do that?"
Isabella pursed her lips, "She has her reasons, and we have ours. I won't shy away from fulfilling my end of the promise just because I now have everything in the world, including a powerful cultivation, a loving husband, and a wonderful daughter."
"..."
Everyone felt moved.
Even in the harem, Isabella was like a mountain whom they could rely on to never crack or shatter under pressure. She took care of them no matter what they asked, as she wanted to be the big sister the most, and she derived that dream from wanting to be his Empress.
Davis also smiled.
If he didn't know the Isabella on the bed, he would practically look up to her, not that he didn't, as he did tend to worship her on the bed.
She was a woman who didn't forget favors but most importantly, never let family down. As for the matter of her abandoning his father when the Accursed Warlock made a trap, he wasn't bothered. That was the right decision to make in his heart and soul as he wouldn't have traded her for his father any time of the day.
'Sayonara, father...'
Davis inwardly lamented before he turned to look at Shirley, "What about you?"
"I also hold a deep responsibility to Flamerose and Frostrose's Fire Phoenix Clan in the true immortal world. Without them, you would've..."
Shirley smilingly shook her head.
If those twin magical beasts hadn't helped her at the time of need, she didn't know what she would've done. She definitely had the intention to help them win the Candidacy. Moreover, both twin sisters relayed their intentions to take part as well.
"I am worried about Azariel and Viridia since they're still babies." Evelynn sighed.
She thought she had enough time, nine more years until the Candidacy but never did she imagine it would turn into nine days.
"Evelynn, you really don't need to go. Hexena Xylusc only asked that you protect her clan if they still survived. That is the only condition she imposed on you for the inheritance."
Davis reminded Evelynn, causing her expression to look as though she was considering.
"Thank you, Everlight~" Evelynn smiled.
This will let everyone know not to die easily.
"... I'm not finished." Fiora continued with a cold expression, "What if the karmic blow is a fatal one that even targets the soul Everlight has? Let's say all three of you became aware of this kind of ending. Will you still hold onto your initial plan of self-sacrifice so that one of you can return with the treasure, alive yet broken from inadvertently killing two of your sisters?"
"...!"
Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley raised their brows.
They had to admit they never thought about this scenario ever since Everlight's powers became known. If they went back to square one, would they be able to keep their initial plan afloat?
Davis also raised his brows.
His Fiora was never the one to hold back. She even hurt herself using her own words.
Moreover, she was saying what he wanted to address and what he wanted to relay. However, he already arrived upon his answer after a series of experiences in the past few months, so he wasn't worried as much but the harem was another thing altogether.
"Let me tell you that I am against all three of you participating because I want you all to be safe."
Fiora's firm voice cracked, "If even one of you is missing, this place wouldn't be the same."
She pursed her lips and looked straight, appearing like a staunch lady which made Evelynn, Isabella and Shirley smiled.
"Yeah, I'm opposed to it as well..." Natalya pouted and raised her hand in support of her little sister.
"Me too." Niera uttered sadly.
"Please stay, big sisters." Panqa cheered.
"There's no need to encounter such risks that would put this wondrous place in jeopardy," Yilla uttered in a sexy voice as though it was the most logical thing to do.
"Don't get emotional, Fiora. You're still pregnant."
Shirley giggled before she panned her gaze, "Everyone, there is nothing to worry about, and the Harem Council doesn't get a vote on this. Otherwise, it will start infringing on everyone's rights and debts."
"Indeed. Whether we decide to enter or stay will be decided by ourselves on the last day."
Isabella smiled before Evelynn nodded, "We have the time chamber, so I can still catch up with everyone else while the others can also train. Nine days roughly translate into four months with the most speedy time chamber we have, so I can still take care of the kids and enter the Candidacy without a problem."
"What do you say, husband?"
Evelynn, Isabella, Shirley and the others turned to look at Davis as though he was the only person who could stop them.
