Chapter 2037: We’re Doing It Now?

“I… thought a lot about it, and the answer I reached was that even if Davis massacred the entire world because it blames him, I would still be with him, becoming a devil if that’s what it is.”

“…!”

Davis’s eyes went wide similar to the others. That was no longer conviction but blind faith.

“Tanya! I knew my eyes weren’t blind!”

Natalya resplendently smiled, causing Tanya to return the smile shyly when a purple-robed woman walked past her.

“Uhm… can I also say something?”

“No need to be reserved,” Evelynn replied, causing the purple-robed woman to take a deep breath.

“I haven’t even repaid Davis for saving me, and yet, I doubted his actions for the past few days, not knowing how to even look at his eyes anymore. I don’t deserve my place here. That’s why… I won’t utter a word of complaint if I’m exiled or killed.”

“…”

Everyone felt awkward at Dalila crying silently after saying something like that.

In truth, they didn’t expect her to have much faith because she was not a part of them until a few days ago. In their eyes, she was like a responsible little kid crying over doing something she regretted.

“Good, you’re one of us now.”

“…?”

Evelynn appeared before Dalila, causing the latter to flinch in shock. How can she be one of them after what she felt? Although her love towards him didn’t fade, it was true that she doubted his actions, which led to her questioning her love, which is Davis.

What if Davis had changed? Wouldn’t he be the person she loved anymore? Thinking of it day and night in these past few days, she was scared to meet him, almost losing her mind over what she was doing, locking herself up.

Abruptly, she felt a palm on her cheek. It was soft and warm, causing her tearful eyes to clear up somewhat as she saw a beautiful face in front of her.

“To doubt is the first step to finding the truth and building a stronger relationship. You don’t know Davis like us, so it’s fine for you and Tanya to doubt the intent behind his actions.”

Evelynn couldn’t help but caress Dalila’s cheek, wiping away her tears. She also had come past many trials in the past as there were so many things that were vague about Davis even while he was young; his true identity and his powers, but even so, she chose to trust him, willing to put her life on the line to get to know him.

It was all a bonding process that one must go through when in a relationship. In fact, if these two didn’t feel doubt over Davis’s intent, she would feel suspicious about their true characters. After all, a snake in hiding really wouldn’t care if its golden goose was righteous or evil.

When the time comes and the golden eggs it lays no longer satisfies the snake, it unwittingly poisons and swallows the golden goose, looking for another one without any remorse or shame.

Nonetheless, hearing Evelynn’s words, the other ladies also couldn’t help but find it resonating with their hearts. It made them feel closer to Davis now that they chose to believe in him wholeheartedly.

“Really, I can… stay?”

Dalila’s lips quivered, causing Evelynn to giggle, turning to look at Davis.

“Looks like if you don’t say it, she won’t believe me, her big sister.”

“Ah~ It’s not like that.”

Dalila trembled before she hugged Evelynn, “Ahh~ I love you, big sister Evelynn.”

“There, there…” Evelynn caressed Dalila as though she was caressing a crying baby.

They both looked young, but if their appearances reflected their ages, they might be laughing at it because Evelynn was way younger. Clearly, the world experience Dalila possessed was lesser than Evelynn.

‘Damn, Evelynn stole my Dalila…’

Davis lightly chuckled as he saw this scene. However, a hint of satisfaction gleamed in his eyes when he saw Evelynn truly shine as their big sister. Her words also resonated with him because he also doubted their love for him these few days.

“What we’re scared about is… if he isn’t the person we all loved, then we’re all screwed one way or another.”

At this moment, two figures walked out from the inner zone.

“Tina, Mingzhi…” Davis uttered as he saw their figures. It was Mingzhi who uttered that sentence while Tina maintained an amused smile.

Instantly, he had a certain feeling that Mingzhi and Tina were behind Dalila and Tanya’s clarity of mind, although he strongly felt Mingzhi played a heavy role in that matter.

‘Subconsciously taking the path to comprehending Heart Intent, huh… She might be as skilled as me…’

Davis couldn’t help but be full of expectations for Mingzhi’s growth.

Abruptly, a hand grabbed the hem of his robe while a beautiful face appeared before his face. Before he knew it, Mingzhi was already in front of him, baring her fangs.

“Scoundrel. The competition is over, and a few days have passed, but you have yet to fulfill the promise of marrying me…! Are you planning on abandoning me!?”

Mingzhi clenched her teeth as she pulled Davis close to her face, looking like a fierce woman.

Davis blinked before his lips curved, “Oh? Are you sure that you want to marry me now, a slaughterer who killed millions? Do you not want to wait for some time? Otherwise, you might be seen as an evil fiend who married the evil Emperor of Death by the world as well.”

“Those hypocritical bastards already looked at me with hostile gaze for me using Darkness Laws. Do I look like I care what they think about me? You either marry me within two days, or I’m cutting off your manhood tonight while framing Schleya!”

“Mingzhi, I’ll kill you!”

Schleya roared from the shadows that some people didn’t even notice that she was here.

“…”

The others were practically stunned, wondering what was going on.

Davis wasn’t stunned. Instead, he stared at Mingzhi’s moistening eyes with his head inclined. A moment later, his eyes flickered.

“You really have no thoughts on what I did?”

“I’m the first person to know even without knowing anything that you are not the person to kill children if you were not forced to.” Mingzhi bit her lips, appearing full of conviction, “My entire existence is proof of that.”

Davis’s eyes shook. A moment later, his head straightened as he gently smiled.

“I understand. I’ll fulfill your wish tonight. However, the gallery-“

“Just our family is fine. Other than you, this group of sisters is what I all have.” Mingzhi’s voice became meek as she lowered her head, “I need no outsiders to witness my marriage with you.”

Davis held her waist and pulled her into a passionate kiss, causing Mingzhi’s eyes to flutter before she closed them and dwelled into his taste.

“Beautiful…”

Some ladies couldn’t help but utter while almost all of them thought their exchange was romantic, of course, if not for the part where she cuts off his manhood, which almost invoked their wrath before it made them laugh.

Davis left Mingzhi’s lips, watching her become unusually shy in front of everyone’s gaze before he turned to look at Evelynn.

“Evelynn, did you find Ivy Aries yet?”

Evelynn shook her head, “The rifts are not stable. They open and close at regular intervals, but no one knows those regular intervals as they only stay that way for a set amount of time. It’s easier to get lost within without an entire group to keep watch on the way back. Therefore, I presume that Ivy Aries and Valley Master Jade Aurora are lost somewhere, unable to find their way back. There should be no danger to their lives unless they stepped into a danger zone.”

“Furthermore, I’m working together with the Soul Palace’s Peak Soul Kings and Soul Queens to clear many areas and know the way back. Although I haven’t found them yet, I have managed to find some clues. It will take some time for the rifts to move, so don’t worry.”

“I see.” Davis nodded before he looked at someone else, “Then Natalya, I’ll depend on you to gather everyone tonight.”

“Leave it to me!”

Natalya pumped her fist, looking more than ready to officially welcome Mingzhi into the family while Mingzhi lowered her head, feeling expectant of tonight.
