Davis and the others were on their way to the auction house.
Captain Praezen got the information from Autarch Metenoa's intelligence network, so they knew where it was.
On the flying boat, Flamerose, Frostrose, Shirley, Lea, and Mingzhi sat, relaxing. Eldia and Calypsea were staring at each other, seemingly unamused, but no sparks flew. It seemed that they were communicating through soul transmission.
Davis was towards the front, controlling the flying boat. He maintained an appropriate speed and trespassed numerous territories but no one came to find trouble since the ship was concealed, not to mention even if found, it was an Empyrean Grade Flying Ship.
Once people recognized it, they wouldn't dare try to stop it unless they were confident that they would be able to deal with it.
He looked back and saw Shirley giggling as she talked with her inheritance masters. He couldn't help but feel delighted that he protected her smile over this incident. He returned his gaze to the front and continued to traverse through mountainous lands and vast oceans.
"…"
Mingzhi kept looking at his back. Eventually, she sighed lightly, thinking she wouldn't be able to give him a quickie with so many people present in this boat. She turned to look at Lea and narrowed her eyes at this mature doll who never seemed to trouble Davis.
It made her feel like she was a loudmouth who kept harping at Davis, causing her to curl her lips. She reached out her hand and held Lea's hand.
"Say, for how long will you continue to endure?"
"…?"
Lea turned to look at Mingzhi, her eyes blinking before she sent back a physical soul transmission.
"Why do you ask?"
"I mean, I manage to seduce our darling a lot because I am actively hounding him, but at the same time, I feel bad for not giving you all the space to be with him. Why are you so patient? If you're holding back because of us, then I feel bad. I'm trying to be the loudest yet fairest sister I can be to you all."
Lea couldn't help but smile as she put her other hand on Mingzhi's hand, "Thank you for your concern."
"But Mingzhi, you're young. I've already lived for thousands of years. Waiting a few years is nothing to me. You don't need to feel bad about me."
"Come on," Mingzhi almost rolled her eyes, "We know that's false. Sure, time is relative, and a person who has lived for thousands of years wouldn't take one or two years seriously. However, the perception of time is the slowest when you're bored and the fastest when you're having fun. When you're having fun or busy, time moves extremely fast.
I'm sure you are busy with training Calypsea and that occupies most of your time but when you think about him, don't you think time moves extremely slowly?"
"…" Lea blinked. She appeared to be speechless.
A few seconds later, she pursed her lips and nodded her head.
"See?" Mingzhi grinned, "That's when you are feeling lonely. During those times, you must hound him for intimacy, or he will keep taking advantage of your kindness and continue to cultivate it because his priority right now is to protect us. Intimacy comes second to him, so he wouldn't be bothered until we're all not in danger."
Lea seemed hesitant, "But I…"
"No buts. If you don't seduce him, others will use the opportunity. I only gave you a fair warning because I'm going to seduce the pervert out of him."
Mingzhi giggled and was about to stand up, but Lea tightened the hold on Mingzhi's hand.
"Wait…" Her ears became red. She glanced at Davis, wondering if he had noticed them.
It didn't seem like it, causing her to gaze at Mingzhi.
"Do you think he will agree?"
"Of course, he wouldn't when he is busy. Even seduction wouldn't work on him at that time. You saw him leave us and research like a madman, right? But now, he's in a good mood since he had saved the twin phoenixes and is relaxed since getting to that strange rabbit requires time and the auction doesn't even start until three weeks later.
The rabbit should be safe, so he's pretty much enjoying this journey as an adventure. Did you even see him care about those imperial fools? You need to capitalize on the opportunity."
Mingzhi gave a lot of reasons as she blabbered out her thoughts and waved her hand.
"…" Lea looked at Mingzhi.
She believed Mingzhi's words because the latter possessed Heart Intent, but she was also afraid of rejection. On the other hand, she respected Mingzhi for being able to handle the heat of rejection and sometimes even insults, as Davis, and she liked to insult each other. It made her feel like she was old and didn't belong with the young ones.
She explained this to Mingzhi, causing the latter's cheeks to go poof as though she was going to laugh out loud.
"Don't-"Lea's eyes widened pleadingly.
On the other hand, Mingzhi managed to suppress the laughter and heaved a soft sigh.
"Don't worry, Lea. You're a cougar. With your looks and seductive body, he's not surviving if you gave him an ordeal."
"…" Lea's cheeks reddened behind her veil.
Mingzhi's words were extremely likable to her. She heaved a light sight.
"Honestly, I'm envious of you for you to be so easygoing with him. I've lived my whole life being stiff and stern, not talking to many people as a Sect Master. Perhaps you can teach me how to behave- seduce him."
"Sure," Mingzhi grinned behind her veil, "Watch me seduce him right now and forcefully take his time yet still manage to satisfy him and myself."
"What? Here?" Lea looked shocked.
This was not even a flying ship but a boat. Where was privacy?
However, she saw Mingzhi let her hand go and stand up as she turned to look at Davis. Mingzhi appeared to close her eyes for a while before she suddenly opened them and looked somewhere in the distance.
"Stop!"
She abruptly screamed, causing Davis to flinch as he turned to look back.
"I sense something resonating within me. It could be my physique. I can sense it from that direction…"
Mingzhi pointed towards the distance. As the flying boat came to a stop, the bubble dispersed, and they saw huge mountain ranges.
"Where…?" Davis asked.
"There… it must be in one of those mountain caves…."
Mingzhi pointed again before she walked towards Davis and pounced on him, grabbing his arm and pushing her bosoms towards him.
"I know you're in a hurry, but help me out here. I sense this vague uneasiness within me…"
Mingzhi's voice abruptly turned soft at the end, making Davis blink.
Lea watched them look at each other's eyes before Davis nodded and looked at them.
"Everyone, stay here. Mingzhi and I will go investigate the anomaly." He began descending and tried to park before a cliff of a mountain.
"Will you be fine?" Shirley stood up.
"Of course. I'd be more worried about you guys."
Davis waved his hand and dropped a death puppet from nowhere, causing the ladies to be mortified. Lea was also shocked. Even Mingzhi's body stiffened.
They saw that this puppet was none other than Venerable Elder Tovolto, a Level Seven Autarch who possessed the Sacred Thunderbolt Body. He was a person who possessed great authority in the Astral Spring League, a Heaven's Warrior Organization like the Divine Sentinel Order.
Davis parked the flying boat and gave the controlling core to Lea.
"Stay safe."
He told them and exited the flying boat with Mingzhi as they went towards the mountains, leaving them with a corpse.
Flamerose and Frostrose were still stiff.
Now they knew why Davis couldn't give a fuck about the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm. He had no need to. This corpse alone was more powerful than the Realm Master.
'Probably…' They thought.
However, their hearts didn't stop pounding.
Calypsea was more curious than the others. Her little frame hovered around the Death Puppet, wondering if she could harm it, but she didn't think so.
"As expected of Master~" Eldia melted as she placed a hand on her cheeks and shook.
Suddenly, she felt a tingle, and her eyes narrowed as she looked in the direction Davis had left. Their spirit pact was now restricted as she couldn't feel his state of mind anymore. Her lips curled, wondering what was happening.
Around ten minutes later, Mingzhi came back with Davis.
"That was fast." Shirley asked, "What happened?"
"It seems I was mistaken. Sorry for delaying the journey." Mingzhi giggled.
"Oh no, we aren't in a hurry. Isn't that right, darling?" Shirley asked.
"Yeah. I don't even know what I'm going to do there. Break in and break her out? Buy her out peacefully? Let's see." Davis chuckled before he got the core from Lea and began flying the boat again, heading toward their destination. He also threw the Death Puppet back into his life ring.
On the other hand, Mingzhi also returned to her seat and sat as though nothing happened.
Lea remained silent.
Sometime later, Mingzhi finally held her hand again.
"What do you think?"
"You… you did it? But the time was so short." Lea didn't believe it.
"Yeah, it's called a quickie, and the satisfaction it gives is much greater than the ones you get in bed."
Mingzhi turned. She slightly opened her veil while hiding her face with a palm and revealed a tongue full of his yang essence, causing Lea's heart to quiver.
"…" Mingzhi seemed satisfied with Lea's reaction before she turned away and swallowed, tracing the seeds as they passed through her throat with her finger.
"It's fine to have dignity and class. However, if it doesn't get what you want, it's useless. I will strive to be his greatest temptress and share happiness with him. You can decide what you want to be in his life and in this harem. Of course, this kind of intimacy may not be for you. The trick is to not have regrets and fulfill all your fantasies to the best of your ability."
"…"
Lea's heart churned.
She gazed at Mingzhi, having a whole new level of respect for her, before she turned to look at Davis. She couldn't believe he acted like nothing happened.
Was it her turn?
Without realizing it, her entire body turned red from the embarrassment she imagined would take place.
