"It's true that you look more like a fighter than a dignified Saint."
"Your origin is murky, but we don't care as long as we can call each other brothers and don't betray no matter the circumstance. We trust that you will not go against your words, Mo Tian."
Patriarch Fenren Jadelight and Patriarch Soaren Goldsun uttered after one other without using honorifics, causing Davis's lips couldn't help but curl wider. These two definitely were not fools since they had made it to the Patriarch's position, but he was too important for them to abandon or offend.
They were taking a gamble on him just as he took on them, thinking that they would protect him.
Benefits or perhaps, the miracles he could create were the catalyst that helped them remain betting on him despite his contradictions, but Davis also knew that this strange level of trust existing between them could last as long as their intentions weren't harmful.
He was confident that he could maintain this level of 'trust' as he was prepared to help them when they needed him in the future for the protection they bestow him with now.
"Also, I have a request to ask of you."
"What is it?" Davis blinked at Patriarch Fenren Jadelight.
"If you see the Emperor of Death's women, relay them my condolences. Also, tell them I have already sent their husband's friend, Drake, to the Aurora Cloud Gate, so they need not worry about his safety."
Davis's brows raised, "You want me to watch them so that they wouldn't come in harm's way?"
"Haha." Patriarch Fenren Jadelight's smile became wry, "You're sharp."
"Will do. I'm also interested in that woman called Nadia since she has death energy that I can practice against to battle Dead End."
"Oye, I told you to watch out for them, not go after them."
Davis shook his finger with a wide smile, "No, you only told me to send a message. What I do with them is up to my will. Ahahaha~"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe crazily laughed, causing Patriarch Fenren Jadelight's smile to fade, looking troubled.
"You…"
"Don't worry. He's incapable of harming women."
Patriarch Soaren Jadelight gave a thumbs up to Patriarch Fenren Jadelight with a huge smile, causing Davis to gawk.
'What's with that satisfied expression? Is that jealousy? Is that jealousy I see!??'
Davis inwardly roared but sneered, "I still have my mouth to seal and hands to roam."
"You dare!?"
*Whoosh!~*
Davis escaped the room, leaving a dumbfounded Patriarch Soaren Goldsun, whose mouth went wide.
'That's right. A man is still a man even if it doesn't work...'
Huge explosions went on his head while Patriarch Fenren Jadelight looked furious but was unable to give chase to Mo Tian as his status was equal or, perhaps, far above him now. He didn't want the other party to perceive him as a threat to his life as he was supposed to be protecting him but his word… the words he gave to the late Emperor of Death, how could he protect it if he doesn't give chase?
Just as he took a step around…
"Starlight Jade Wolf King, please don't mind Saint Mo Tian, as he's just teasing..." Lanqua blushed as she spoke.
"Yes, he hasn't touched us wrongly in any way even though we..." Panqa had her hands on her cheeks, deeply blushing, "Mhmm~ He's too reserved but also gentle and understanding~"
She seemed to descend into her own world, her eyes appearing full of love.
"…"
Their reactions made Patriarch Fenren Jadelight blink as he looked at them, not knowing what to make of that hooligan Saint as he was too unpredictable.
"Little Shea… what's going on with you?" Patriarch Soaren Goldsun also looked confused, "You were crying but now possess a satisfied smile on your face…? Did I do you wrong?"
"No… I mean, I just understood… that Saint Mo Tian got angry for my sake… because I uttered so something stupid..."
Shea Goldsun had her lips curled into an uncontrollable smile. Her expression was laden with gentleness when thinking about him because she knew she was being foolish, but he kept her reminding her that such a thing wasn't good.
Such a man, how could she not want?
"Then what are you women doing!? Go make him your man!"
"Ahh!"
He roared, causing the three of them to panic and run away from the room.
Patriarch Fenren Jadelight looked at the empty room and saw that no one was there, thinking that it must be his imagination. However, his expression became hesitant as he turned to look at the Golden Crow Clan's Patriarch.
"So… is he impotent…?"
"Ai, who knows?" Patriarch Soaren Goldsun didn't seem surprised, "It could be a lie to politely reject or not want to deal with women. It could even be something that comes as a side effect of being both a Saint and an incredible martial cultivator. We can never be sure, not until one of our powers' women sleep with him and report, but I'll take his word for the moment as it is not something a man would describe himself to be without a heavy reason."
"I agree, but… do you think they'll report?"
"No, chances are that they would betray the clan if it means that they could be with a Saint, much less lose his trust by reporting what happens in their life."
"Fair enough." Patriarch Fenren Jadelight laughed as he seemed to agree again, "After all, if even all the Celestial Fairies present here have decided to invite him to their gathering, then it's a given that our powers' young beauties would also be completely enamored with him."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"True. The elders are noisy, asking me to allow them to send their daughters and granddaughters to him."
"Oh? What a coincidence. Not mentioning other powers, my elders wouldn't stop yapping as well."
"Pfft- ahaha!~"'
The both of them burst out laughing, pointing at each other with approval in their eyes.
"You're not dumb for a bird."
"You're not servile for a dog."
"Fuck you!"
"Fuck you too! Ahahaha!"
Abruptly, the two of them stopped their laughter and joined hands, causing a shockwave that sent the pieces of furniture in the room flying.
"The Dragon and Phoenix Alliance share their Saints, and so, managed to keep them satisfied without harm befalling them." Patriarch Fenren Jadelight's gaze churned, "Therefore, we must join hands to keep Saint Mo Tian to ourselves in the Central Primesky Alliance."
"Good." Patriarch Soaren Goldsun grinned, "I was thinking the same thing and even starting to think that we could get along in this alliance very well, perhaps become true brothers."
"Perhaps we could right now if we leave our powers, but… as long as we're Patriarchs, our powers come first."
"Agreed."
The two of them grinned, letting their hands go as they bumped their fists and left with renewed interest and determination. But halfway through the hallway, they saw Mo Tian resting on one of the pillars with three beauties as though he was waiting for something before he looked at them.
"…?"
"You two haven't said where the gathering is..."
"…"
Patriarch Soaren Goldsun and Patriarch Fenren Jadelight looked at each other.
Had they overestimated him much?
