Chapter 1328 - True Feelings Of...

Davis looked at the red-haired beauty who remained gorgeous and alluring, perhaps even more mature than the last time he had seen her since she seemed grown-up, her features becoming more womanly. Her skin was pristine as if it was sculpted out of white jade, pale and dreamy.

s.h.i.+rley remained stunned, but her heart was filled with numerous emotions that couldn't be said by her agape mouth. Two tears uncontrollably fell out of her eyes as she placed both palms on her mouth as if suppressing her joyful emotions.

She inevitably moved forward as her legs moved. However, she jerked to a stop as a voice echoed.

"Senior sister! He can't be your Davis! This person is extremely strong and abnormal enough to silently pa.s.s through formations that even King Soul Stage Experts would find hard to pa.s.s through!"

Esvele appeared in front of s.h.i.+rley as she blocked her from moving forward with her hands as she reached out. Her revolving core seemed like it began to strangely give off a low hum as it rumbled!

Davis's eyes narrowed while Esvele sent a soul transmission to s.h.i.+rley.

"Senior sister, please escape! I'll use my death to hold him off for a few seconds...!"

"Wai-!"

Before s.h.i.+rley could even warn her, Esvele shot towards Davis, her revolving core rumbling towards the path of self-destruction.

*Bzzzz!~*

"Forgive my rudeness..."

Davis moved at the same time as Esvele and appeared by her side. Even before he got to her, his overwhelming soul force surged out as he used the Soul Suppressing Art. It directly caused Esvele to faint within a second of it reaching her forehead, penetrating her soul sea before it suppressed the soul essence as if it was going to crush it.

However, he held back plenty, and the result was that Esvele cleanly lost consciousness as she lost her footing and collapsed, but before she could fall even a bit, Davis gently supported the big-b.r.e.a.s.ted beauty as he held her in his arms.

s.h.i.+rley ran towards him before taking Esvele from him, looking panicked.

"Don't worry. I just made this woman unconscious. It is nothing of concern..."

s.h.i.+rley looked relieved as she heard Davis's speech. She tried to calm her rapidly beating heart as her lips moved.

"I'm sorry... She doesn't know you, and she had enough of men trying to take advantage of us through foul and deceptive means.."

"It's fine." Davis shook his head, "I mean, she is in the right to make a move against me considering that I'm extremely suspicious, but to think that you found a friend who would die for you."

"I'm happy for you, s.h.i.+rley." He smiled.

"A friend..." s.h.i.+rley wryly smiled as she brought Esvele towards the sofa and gently smoothed her over it, "She probably thinks of me as her benefactor and savior, perhaps even her Mistress..."

Looking at Esvele's eyes that were covered with tears, s.h.i.+rley knew that she had truly decided to commit suicide to buy her time to escape. A smile appeared on her face, an endearing smile that looked very caring towards the one it was directed at.

Esvele stood like this once before when they faced Schneider in the mini-realm, and that's why s.h.i.+rley had shown no mercy and killed that vile creature, burning him to death with her true prowess. Among the disciples, there were only two who knew about her Fire Phoenix Flames, one of them was the person in front of her, and the other was Schneider.

However, how could a dead person say anything?

Her Fire Phoenix Flames didn't even leave Schneider's ashes as it made him disintegrate into thin air while his spatial ring was left behind in the mini-realm, except the spirit stones and a few other items because those weren't traceable.

'Still, it looks like both of them went through some difficulties to react this quickly to danger... This Esvele had even begun to inversely divert the flow of energy to self-destruct while she was carried away by s.h.i.+rley while s.h.i.+rley had practically broken what seems to be a spatial talisman...'

Davis knew that it took some time to self-destruct as he looked at the life-saving spatial talisman he held before he extended his hand.

s.h.i.+rley moved her head towards the side as she saw him give the spatial talisman back to her. Her eyes couldn't help but tremble a bit as her heart constricted.

She reached out her hand as she stood up and took the life-saving spatial talisman. However, her hand brushed past his as she felt otherworldly, confirming that he was really here. There was a bit of warmth from that hand, causing her to shyly move her head as she returned her gaze to the unconscious Esvele.

"You came here to see me...?" Her crimson lips moved, her heart feeling overly expectant even though she knew the answer.

Why would Davis cross so many hurdles and dangers in the Burning Phoenix Ridge, bypa.s.sing many formations if it were not to see her?

Could it be that he had something important to attend to in the Burning Phoenix Ridge?

"Yes, I specifically came here to see you and also find Ellia." Davis wryly smiled, "She's not here, is she?"

s.h.i.+rley's heart skipped a beat when she heard, but when Ellia was mentioned, she blinked and nodded.

"Sorry, I know where she is as I later found out, but I swore to not divulge information on most matters like her location and cultivation on her behest..."

"I see..."

Davis decided that it was best if he talked about this later as he closed his eyes and opened them again when s.h.i.+rley quickly opened her mouth.

"Uhmm... How did you come here?"

"Well, I became acquainted with Elder Karlheinz Storm in the West Territory Gate while aiding him to kill a wicked path's corpse cultivator."

"Oh..." s.h.i.+rley blinked before she shook her head, "No, I mean, how did you enter my crimson palace? It is practically impossible even for a Mid-Level Soul King to sneak in..."

Davis smirked and asked a question instead, "Isn't the answer rather obvious?"

s.h.i.+rley's red pupils trembled as her mouth became agape. Her body s.h.i.+vered from understanding that he was probably a High-Level King Soul Stage Expert!

How could it be!? This cultivation speed was practically unheard of unless Davis found an Immortal Inheritance that aided his Soul Forging Cultivation. But even if he had that immortal existence as a master, it shouldn't be possible to have this kind of cultivation, right?

Nevertheless, her imagination and her horizons were limited, so she didn't ask him.

Instead, she wondered out loud.

"What if you got caught by the Sect Master or other experts? You would've been killed for trespa.s.sing into my crimson palace like this, irrelevant of my opinion. Do you not care for your life?"

Davis placed his hand on his c.h.e.s.t, "s.h.i.+rley, this vessel is kind of like my soul body, an avatar."

"An avatar...?" s.h.i.+rley blinked.

"That's right. It's another body conjured from unique resources. It is of one mind with my main body and disposable. Therefore, I can be in two different places at the same time without having to deeply worry for my life unless I meet enemies who can use karmic attacks."

"That's... wonderful..."

s.h.i.+rley became rather awed by the soul techniques that Davis used. If possible, she wanted to learn this from him. Anyone who heard of this technique would want to have it for themselves. After all, it is akin to having a second life!

"Then... then what about Evelynn? I heard that you have a second wife? Are they doing all right?"

Davis blinked. He was about to answer her question when he noticed her peculiarity.

s.h.i.+rley's red eyes were adorably dodging him with every question she asked while she maintained a humble posture in front of him, seemingly taking care of Esvele.

Indeed, s.h.i.+rley's thoughts were all over the person in front of her that she was grasping random topics to relieve her awkwardness. She didn't know what or how to speak at this moment that all she could ask about were contemporary things to calm down her rapidly beating heart. It annoyed her to no end because she felt that she wouldn't be this chaotic when she met him in the future!

Reasonably, she was taken by surprise at this moment when he suddenly appeared and found it extremely difficult to calm down that her heart was possibly screaming for her to confess!

"s.h.i.+rley..."

"Yes...!?"

Looking at her react abnormally, Davis also felt infected by her and felt more awkward than ever. The red-haired beauty made Davis's invisible heart thump, leaving him speechless, but he erased these hesitative thoughts and stopped mulling over it before he spoke what he wanted to say.

"s.h.i.+rley, I'm sorry for not heeding your words when Evelynn was hurt. I was confused, perhaps even egoistical at that time, that I didn't want to blame myself overly for that matter so I put more than half the blame on you and hurt you even though you had no part in it."

Hearing his heartfelt words, s.h.i.+rley's eyes went wide in shock and gratification. Her eyes became moister by the second as she shook her head.

"No... I was at fault for getting caught in a wicked plot contrived for me. You merely saved me, even going as far as to save me without taking my innocence... while as a result, I wasted your time. I was at fault for you not being able to return to Evelynn's side in time, and I wanted your forgiveness for that... "

s.h.i.+rley uncontrollably sobbed as she was unable to hold back her emotions or maintain her calmness.

Davis became rather moved by her understanding while also feeling a bit exasperated.

"Does that mean that we currently want each other's forgiveness?"

s.h.i.+rley blinked, her moist eyes reflecting his sapphire eyes as she couldn't help but nod.

She walked towards him, holding the hem of his robe as her crimson lips quivered, looking as if she wanted to say something but was unable to as her eyes shone with an endearing light.

Davis stared at her red pupils that were full of emotions for him while he also felt invigorated by her nod that he couldn't help but feel confident and a.s.sertive. Even without using Heart Intent, he knew that this woman still possessed one sided feelings for him.

"s.h.i.+rley, I feel sorry for hurting you, but I can't describe these emotions that I have towards you as only sympathy, since they also make me feel different, almost like I had developed these other complex feelings for you unknowingly."

s.h.i.+rley became shocked as Davis delivered his last piece of confession.

"I love you and want to make you mine, s.h.i.+rley."
