Chapter 4007 A Bold Rabbit?

"Guess I was desperate to make you listen that I offered an alternative without thinking..." Lea looked the other way and dryly replied.

"..." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Davis was speechless. It seemed like his women loved giving him other women as rewards. It was typical of empresses and concubines wanting to make their emperor joyous by offering him young and pure women, but he never thought there would come a day when his women would also be actively doing it.

The first to do that was Isabella, who offered him her prisoners, Bylai and Zestria. At that time, he still had his heart open, so he couldn't help but fall to temptation, and he was glad he did because he loved Bylai and Zestria from the bottom of his heart today and would continue to do so.

But Lea offering Illumina...?

Davis couldn't believe that Lea had changed so much. In the beginning, she wasn't willing to even look at him despite the feelings she had for him because she had high standards for herself and her future husband, but eventually, she knew what she wanted from having nightmares in the form of Heart Demons.

She willingly lowered her standards to be with him. It could be said that he was a great influence on her, but he didn't want to make her feel that she lost out again. He was willing to listen to her if that was what it took to make her happy.

This made Davis look at Illumina.

She was certainly endearing and loyal, but his heart didn't go as far as to fall in love with her. Right now, she was just like Zora Luan to him, a female acquaintance that he wouldn't go as far as to use his life but still take one or more steps to make sure they were safe.

"Wait... how do you know if Illumina is chaste?" He asked Lea.

After all, if Lea was suggesting Illumina, then that means they had-

"We vetted her. Don't worry~" Lea replied smugly.

"..."

Davis blinked. Thinking back slightly, he knew it was Mingzhi. She was the only one other than him who would be able to determine the truth, but to think they put Illumina through such a questioning session. He couldn't help but raise his brows at Illumina.

She actually answered their questions?

"I... I am prepared to follow master's commands anytime."

Sensing his gaze, Illumina blurted out.

Davis felt his heart pierced by a shrill arrow laced with potent affection. It practically lowered his defenses in half, but it only made him smile gently.

"Illumina, I'm happy you would go that far, but value yourself more. I'm already a man who is fulfilled. There is little space for others."

Illumina's rabbit ears raised. She looked at him with a strange gaze before she looked away.

He thought he healed her completely? Did the forceful awakening harm her slightly?

"Yeah, it's just my soul physique throbbing... possibly from the aftermath..." Vereina rubbed her head before staring at him.

"..." Davis blinked.

He kept a poker face, waiting for Vereina to confess or apologize or whatever it was. He wasn't going to let her say that it didn't happen.

"Thank you..." Vereina opened her mouth, her expression soft, "I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for you."

"You're welcome, but the fault also partly lies with me, so let's just say we're even."

"What fault? Do you mean the dark smoke remnants? That was my decision. I was greedy enough to absorb them while I was still weak, so it was deserved. You have nothing to take accountability for."

Vereina shook her head. Her words made Davis blink. His gaze was as though he had renewed his opinion of her.

"I'll take you up on your offer then. Anything else you want to say?" Davis prompted her.

Vereina blinked. She looked away, her brows furrowing before she looked at him again, "Thank you again? I understand that I almost got possession, and I owe it to you for saving me from that wretched old witch, but you can't trap me with that, you know."

"...?"

Davis frowned, "You-"

"Wait. I really want you to know that I'm grateful, and I would do anything you ask of me, including giving you a sexual favor, but that would only be limited to a kiss, and it would last one second and one time. That's all~"

She looked away, her cheeks unusually crimson, "Just so you know, I have never kissed before, much less intimately touched a man. If you want more, then I would have to decline. If anything, I would like to pursue you myself and make you acknowledge me before I- ah, don't make me say it!~'

Vereina yelled at him coyly, turned to look away completely to the other side, and laid down, throwing the blanket over herself.

"..."

Davis's eyes were wide as he gazed at Vereina. She may have said her piece and appeared to be romantically interested in him. His Heart Intent could also tell that it was true.

However-

"You forgot you stole a kiss from me?"

"Huh?"

A loud yet confused voice echoed from Vereina.
