Chapter 1328: True Feelings Of... (2/2)

Davis decided that it was best if he talked about this later as he closed his eyes and opened them again when Shirley 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...” Shirley 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?”

Shirley's red pupils trembled as her mouth became agape. Her body shivered 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 trespassing into my crimson palace like this, irrelevant of my opinion. Do you not care for your life?”

Davis placed his hand on his chest, ”Shirley, this vessel is kind of like my soul body, an avatar.”

”An avatar...?” Shirley 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...”

Shirley 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.

Shirley'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, Shirley'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!

”Shirley...”

”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.

”Shirley, 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, Shirley'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... ”

Shirley 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?”

Shirley 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 assertive. Even without using Heart Intent, he knew that this woman still possessed one sided feelings for him.

”Shirley, 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.”

Shirley became shocked as Davis delivered his last piece of confession.

”I love you and want to make you mine, Shirley.”
