Chapter 3503 Being Concerned
[20 - 0 - 4]
The results of Eldia being accepted as the twenty-fifth wife also came out, but the spirit was still sleeping in Davis's soul sea.
"Now then~"
Mingzhi stood up from Davis's lap and flew back to her seat, continuing to stand in front of it with much delight.
"This hall is just the temporary venue. Soon, we'll have our own Harem Council Chamber where we can make decisions that influence or control our husband to our heart's content. The mechanism is also in the initial stages, so Bylai will make further changes upon further experimentation to close all kinds of loopholes."
Mingzhi smiled, "Who knows, we might even build a formation that blocks Heart Intent there, not particularly for our husband but for me, as it would make the process unfair if I get to know all your true thoughts, allowing me to manipulate the results even if slightly."
"We know you're fair, Mingzhi." Shirley praised.
"I'm not."
However, Mingzhi shook her head, causing Shirley to giggle.
"Sure enough. We try to be fair~"
"That's right~"
Mingzhi nodded, "As one can see, we decide if our husband can take a new woman or not, so use this power wisely, but of course, we will have the departments to look after the internal and external affairs of the Davis Family."
"For example, the Administration Department will be headed by our three big sisters, Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley. In the same way, there would be two or three heads for each department, which we would decide later through the Harem Council. I need a bit more time to etch the rules and regulations of our family, so we'll meet after Everlight's marriage."
"Are there any questions?"
Mingzhi gave a perfunctory gaze at everyone, waiting for a few seconds before she raised her hands and cupped them.
"Then I declare the first session of the Harem Council is now over, with Tia and Eldia having become one of us now."
"Well done, Mingzhi~"
Evelynn and the others came forward to congratulate her for her wonderful leadership skills. She gracefully accepted their praises while Davis moved to Nadia and took her hand.
"If you're feeling out of it, wouldn't it be better for you to be nurtured in your shelter in my soul sea?"
"Master… no, I still need some time to learn a few things…"
"Alright," Davis nodded, knowing Nadia was taking her motherhood seriously.
She was always serious and rarely said anything unless asked. She went out of her way to learn many things from Isabella, Shirley, and Shea so she could nurture and care for her baby better in the future.
However, he knew she couldn't be using her doppelgangers as it was a species technique that would burden her body, so she had no choice but to walk in her true body.
Due to this, she couldn't even do her pastime hobby of watching over the city with her watchful eyes. Now, it fell on Eldia, but she was still sleeping peacefully in his soul sea.
"I'll only allow you to stay outside for a month, but after that, you should be in my soul sea receiving the nurturing effects of the Transitory Beast Taming Pact."
"I understand."
Davis warned, causing Nadia to warn her head.
Magical beasts get weaker by the months during their pregnancy, so there wasn't much need to worry now. Halfway through, she wouldn't even be able to use thirty percent of her prowess unless she sacrificed her blood essence, and doing so might harm the child.
He caressed Nadia's cheek, telling her to stay calm and relaxed no matter what happened before he turned to look at Tia.
He walked out of the circle only to see Clara leaving the hall.
His heart sank, and he couldn't help but follow her, stopping her in the fourth turn.
"Clara, are you disappointed in your big brother? Do you hate me?"
Clara blinked as she looked at her big brother, "Brother, who you accept in your life is none of my concern."
'She definitely angry…!'
Davis inwardly yelled out. His precious little sister always made sure to let him know if she approved of his women or not with her Transcendent Truth Eyes, but now, she said it was none of his concern.
"Clara, don't be like that. Tia has done many things that are greatly helpful to us, and she genuinely loves me, unable to look past me. It isn't like I reluctantly accepted her but gave it much thought and decided to commi-"
"I know."
Clara interjected with a calm expression on her face, "I don't blame brother for accepting Tia, as I knew she loved you from the time in the Grand Beginnings Continent. However, there is the Harem Council now, so I really don't get a say in who you accept or not, and doing so would be disrespectful and infringe the rights of your harem."
"…"
Looking at her finely justify her thoughts, Davis turned speechless.
"I left early because Mingzhi asked me to come up with a formation that utilizes my Transcendent Truth Eyes to see truth and lies."
"You learned formations?"
"Brother, did you think I was just waiting all this time while I stopped cultivating due to heaven's influence? Although not as good as the others, I learned alchemy, formations, spirit formations, inscriptions, and much more."
"Woah…" Davis blinked, "Clara, you're awesome."
A light shade of crimson appeared on Clara's cheeks, "As your little sister, I can't be weak, much less ignorant."
"This formation that I'm going to help construct would utilize Mandate Laws to garner the truth, so in the future, when there is a conflict between our family's descendants, we can use it to see the truth of the matter and give an appropriate judgment accordingly."
Davis couldn't help but smile with pride as Clara continued, "But of course, the difficulty of constructing this formation is difficult as I would have to use a spirit formation in it that accommodates the powers of my Transcendent Truth Eyes, so to create this formation, it would take anywhere between one to five years. I'm hoping I can enter the Immortal Emperor Stage soon so that I can quickly comprehend more of Mandate Laws."
"Clara… maybe you should join the Law Enforcement Department of our family."
Davis suggested, causing Clara to blink.
"That… I'm usually harsh on everyone else, so I might kill our descendants for wrongs. I'll… think about it."
"No pressure." Davis reminded, "Just think about it. If you don't want it, that's fine."
He watched her reaction, saw her pursing her lips, and nodded, causing him to follow up.
"So you don't hate me…?"
"Brother, I can never hate you." Clara lightly smiled, "Although I must say that I'm quite disturbed over this situation because…"
"…!" Davis's heart clenched.
"… the number of wives you have has reached twenty-five."
"…"
"I still remember when we were picking the absolute best within our region for you. I recommended sister Shirley to brother, and then you wed her as your fourth wife, but now, there's your twenty-fifth wife, Eldia. I simply… don't know what to think about your love life anymore that it puts me in a bind since it opens many pathways for you to be hurt as the loss of loved ones can't be mitigated by numbers as it becomes unavoidable."
Clara pursed her lips as she raised her hand and held his sleeve hesitantly, her smile receding, "I don't want brother to be hurt."
"…" Davis felt moved, finally smiling, "Thanks for your concern, but getting hurt is a part of the relationship. If there are ups, there are similarly lows. However, I'm not saying that I wouldn't do my very best to remain happy and also keep them happy, so don't worry. If someone wants to hurt me, they better have some heaven-shattering treasure with them."
Clara couldn't help but smile.
The blinding confidence her brother had always lit up her path, allowing her to remain taut and vigilant.
"Brother, you should go see Tia now," Clara advised.
"Alright," Davis nodded, "You should know I care about your opinions a lot, so don't hesitate to say if you have any problem with how I'm living my life. I don't want to be hated by you unless necessary…"
"What do you mean unless necessary…?"
"Well, I don't mean anything by it other than saying there are some unavoidable situations where I might have to put you down if you ever side with the heavens."
Davis smirked as he extended his hands and tickled Clara's waist, causing her to squirm with an amused smile.
"Brother, you can't kill me~" She giggled.
She knew it was absolute because otherwise, she would already be dead, as it was easier to abandon her than go so far as to interrupt the influence of the heavens.
"Oh, seems like someone saw right through me. Anyway, I have to return to Tia. I'll see you around."
Davis stopped tickling her as her laughter made his day. He waved goodbye and left the premises, returning to Tia.
However, even after five minutes, Clara didn't move from that place, staring at the corner with numerous thoughts crossing her mind before she shook her head and left.
