Chapter 3475 Conflicting Fondness
Davis couldn't believe the answer he arrived at. His voice expressed his disbelief as he blurted out, unable to comprehend how it could be like that.
"It is indeed ironic but works." Myria wryly smiled, "I, too, didn't think anything of Bing Luli and the others and kept them at arm's length and was even harsh, so I wouldn't harm them too much until Ellia harped on how ridiculous I was when compared to you when it comes to treating them. I wasn't able to keep up appearances in the end and eventually created a spiral of bonds with them. And you... showed me that with you by my side, I don't have to keep to myself, scared that my people will die because of me, allowing me to treat them without fear of harming them."
Myria strode forward, lightly hugging him as she seemed to have become emotional.
"..."
Davis was still dumbfounded.
The concept of abusing one's loved ones so they would get to survive was pretty fucked up, but that seemed to be the way Anarchic Divergents found out that fate wouldn't remove them from their side.
He never had to think about this because rather than his divergence changing fates, it was Fallen Heaven who changed fates since it overpowered him. As far as he had seen, its passive fate-changing capabilities were neutral and didn't really invite calamity unless it was actively used.
However, the same thing couldn't be said about Anarchic Divergents, who were calamitous stars!
Myria stepped back and glanced at his complicated expression, causing her to smile lightly.
"Fairy Thunderblaze probably learned to live in this way. She abuses all the people she cares for, hoping... they won't die. To her, you're no different. In fact, I would argue she can't act any different and intrinsically fears that you would be harmed if she treated you better."
"..."
Davis came out of his reverie and finally nodded his head but shook it.
Seeing his halfhearted denial, Myria also shook her head. Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
"You used Heart Intent on her, didn't you? Then don't act like you didn't sense it."
"And you hid this secret like you're protecting your own sister?"
Myria narrowed her brows, "Not one of your wives had a good feeling about her. Besides, I had my own problems to deal with, and I simply don't know what she would do, but I guessed that she would destroy the peace you have here with your harem, so why would I care about what she feels for you?"
"Understandable... sorry for asking." Davis apologized. His question may have sounded like he was doubting her when he was teasing her.
Myria and Fairy Thunderblaze did seem like they could understand each other most of the time while traveling in the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm.
"It's fine." Myria lightly smiled as she looked away, "If there's something you don't understand, I will make you understand like you made me understand and didn't... let me... go."
"..."
Davis stood frozen.
His Myria was simply an angel. Her innate nature was that of a Saintess, but the way she treated him simply pierced his heart, although the arrow was one of blinding love.
At this moment, Tanya came back with all the letters that were in Founder Alstreim's seclusion chamber. She seemed to have successfully retrieved it without inviting much suspicion, which spared Davis the trouble of having to explain what happened to their Patriarch.
He went through the letters, trying to find some clue if Founder Alstreim Windstorm truly did make this decision without being manipulated.
The next day, he took Evelynn and traversed all the way to the path before the barrier again, finding Fairy Thunderblaze in the same place he left her yesterday. It was as though she hadn't moved at all, confusing him lightly, but she also didn't care to speak and activated the formation.
Without a word, the three of them entered the iridescent vortex and passed through before they arrived at the other side of the barrier.
*Bzzz!~*
An all-powerful undulation brimmed from nowhere and suddenly placed a restriction on them, bringing down their cultivation all the way to the Level One Immortal Stage, which left Davis, Evelynn, and Fairy Thunderblaze speechless.
Nonetheless, they recognized the mortal air and instantly felt exhilarated as their efforts to enter were a success! They were finally in the Grand Beginnings Continent, causing Davis to storm off towards the Alstreim Family Territory!
