Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2929  Rolling Emotions 

Inside a private room designed for guests within the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's ruling palace, Davis and the others arrived.

Naturally, he still had some things to say to Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, so he hadn't left, but at this moment, he was stiff enough to feel the heat getting to his face as his women gazed at him, waiting for his words.

The words he was about to say were on the tip of his tongue, but they refused to come out. It took him a few seconds for him to calm down before he heaved a heavy sigh.

"So, Isabella, Shirley, Tanya, and Lea. My beauties, I assume you also know about Yilla...?"

"Yes… from Mingzhi's account." Isabella had an amused expression on her face behind her veil, "I heard that you had your suspicions about her intent. Did you change your mind? And what's this about them?"

She looked towards Panqa and Lanqua, causing Davis to smile wryly.

The others also looked at him with inquisitive gazes, wanting to know the relationship between them all.

Was Davis going to take them as his women, making them their sisters?

On the other hand, Yilla proudly smiled. So Davis had suspicions about her intent and accepted her now? That made her feel like she achieved something great. However, she didn't say anything, also looking at Davis to see how he would describe her to be while Panqa and Lanqua were also waiting in a similar fashion, although they weren't as confident as Yilla.

Nevertheless, Davis wryly smiled because he recognized that his sweet Evelynn didn't expose that he was naked with Yilla when the latter treated him.

He was moved that Evelynn didn't misunderstand the situation despite the urgency and worry she felt for him.

"Alright, I hereby declare they, Yilla Zyrus, Panqa, and Lanqua, have officially become your sisters."

"…!"

Isabella and the others seemed stunned as they saw his cheeks redden. He couldn't maintain his gaze, quickly looking away, which made them even more dumbfounded.

"You…" Isabella's brows trembled.

"This is preposterous. I don't mind you taking them, but did you stop to think about Nadia? Did you think about Tina and Dalila? When are you going to make them yours? When are you going to finally reciprocate their emotions and hard work? They're my sisters! I can't let them be forced into a situation where it's equal to you throwing them in a cold palace even if you didn't mean to."

Davis shuddered as he gazed at Isabella, appearing as though he had no words to retort.

"Third sister, I..."

"Nadia, you be quiet."

Nadia seemed like she wanted to say something when Isabella raised her hand, lifting her palm before pointing at Davis.

"If he wants more, we don't disagree, but to forget about the ones he accepted and go looking for another woman, not one but three, is wrong. I'm… I'm disappointed…"

"You're very right, Isabella. I don't have any face left to look at any one of you."

Davis clenched his fists, his gaze lowering. The very sight of it instantly caused Isabella to shudder, tears brimming in her eyes.

"That's… unfair. I can't even berate you with you making a face like that."

She walked towards his side, grasping his clenched hand as she loosed them and took hold of it as her lips quivered.

"I'm sorry. You have just gotten out of many life-and-death situations, yet I'm being hard on you. You're our Emperor, so of course, you deserve to have it your way sometime. Just don't do it again, okay…? They are sincerely waiting for you, and I can't bear to see them not experience the bliss of being taken care of by you..."

Davis's grip loosened as he brought Isabella's hand towards his face, kissing it.

"It's fine. I deserve all the curses that I can get for worrying about my beauties all day long. But that isn't all- "

"Bullshit!"

"…!"

Shirley, Tanya, and Lea were just smiling warmly when they suddenly got startled by a furious voice, causing them to turn to look at Yilla Zyrus, who had her hand reached out, her finger pointing at Isabella.

Isabella and Davis were also startled, turning to look at Yilla Zyrus, who seemed to be scared yet furious.

"You… I don't know if you're an Empress or what, but don't you dare criticize him when not knowing what happened to him, to us! Only I know how he fought hard to fend off the effects of an aphrodisiac. Is it his fault that the aphrodisiac was too strong!? Or is it ours!?"

"…!?"

Yilla Zyrus waved her hand, still looking furious, but her words made the others stunned.

An aphrodisiac?

"Yilla, stop it." Davis narrowed his brows.

Yilla Zyrus bit her lips, "No, I won't. I… I refuse to take this insult in your stead, especially when we don't even know if your seeds were stolen or not by the perpetrator."

"What!?"

Shirley's pupils dilated while Tanya and Lea's eyes went wide.

Abruptly, Shirley appeared before Yilla and captured her shoulders.

"Who was it?"

"I… I don't know, but don't you women dare make this his fault…!"

Yilla's lips quivered. It could be seen that she was overwhelmed by their roaring auras, but she didn't give up, still holding onto a sliver of anger as she spoke equally against them.

"…"

Isabella's expression was at a loss. She slowly turned to look at Davis, her eyes reeling with disbelief.

"You… why didn't you say it sooner?"

"It's fine because you were not wrong." Davis shook his head, "Even if I did get drugged and robbed, it doesn't change the fact that I let down all of you. I failed to protect myself better. I should've been more careful no matter the case, especially since I portrayed myself to be a Saint. I should've known that it was coming..."

"No…" Isabella's expression changed, becoming emotional as she trembled," There's only a limit to how much a man can protect himself from a woman. Next time, say everything… I… I said bad things… it's… it's all your fault..."

"Indeed. I needed someone to berate me for feeling better~"

Davis shrugged, causing Isabella's tears to finally flood as she silently cried. It made Davis instantly pull her close to his chest, allowing her to cry out as she trembled.

On the other hand, everyone finally understood. So he was drugged and made to dual cultivate with Yilla, Panqa, and Lanqua while someone else, the real perpetrator of this hateful scenario, possibly stole his yang essence.

They couldn't help but feel furious but, at the same time, sighed for him, understanding why he didn't say it sooner. This thing was probably embarrassing beyond compare, especially when it came to a man of his stature.

"Bastard… you did this on purpose..."

Isabella squealed, having her face pasted on his chest as she used his two hands to beat his chest ever so lightly. She couldn't believe that he had listened to her running off her mouth without telling the truth. How could she have become emotional and reacted without hearing him out fully?

She was embarrassed and felt awful. There was no way she could take back what she said, about how she was disappointed and seeing his face change. That stabbed her heart more than anything.

Was this a game to him?

"Yes, yes. I'm a cunning man..." Davis wryly smiled, letting it stay that way.

He really had intended to confess everything, but he intended to say it one by one so that they could accept the incredulity of it. After all, even he wouldn't believe it if Drake came to him and said that he was drugged.

His thought would be like: "Dude, you drugged yourself or walked right into that trap on purpose, didn't you?"

He felt his line of thinking was especially the case after he failed to keep his promise with Zestria and delayed many others like marriages. He didn't uphold his words to a few, which would give them trust issues.

Nonetheless, he turned to look at Yilla, who was let go of by Shirley, and sent a soul transmission to Isabella, "It's just… I didn't expect Yilla to turn angry at me instead of protecting her own skin. She had proved herself yet again as she also protected me from the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder and healed me. So, what do you think? Isn't she good?"

Isabella sniffled before she finally made herself look proper. She pulled herself back slightly and finally looked at Yilla Zyrus, her gaze squinting.
