Chapter 581 Perhaps I Can Help?

Evelynn blinked and then looked at him in a scrutinizing light, "You really want her?"

Davis wanted to say "Not really..." and brush it off for better or worse, however, he hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.

"I do..." He paused for a moment and then added, "But not to the point of forcing her or bending her will."

If he had really wanted her to the point of being obsessed, perhaps, he could've influenced Princess Isabella's already confused thoughts to like him through Misdirection and bent her will in the process.

However, he scoffed at the thought of stooping that low to obtain Princess Isabella or any woman for that to matter.

"Princess Isabella likes you..." Evelynn suddenly uttered, catching Davis off-guard.

'How does she know?' Davis became astonished.

He only came to know about Princess Isabella's affection to him only after deciphering her Karma Thread, but from the looks of it, Evelynn knew it beforehand?

'Is this what they call a woman's intuition?' Davis blinked.

"Princess Isabella began to show some restraint when she's beside you. She no longer looks carefree but reserved. Her tone sometimes became even meek in front of you. A few other times, I've seen her casting glances at you, but of course, those were all times when you were speaking but her gaze was different than the usual..."

Davis became tongue-tied as his jaw dropped.

There were so many things he failed to notice on Princess Isabella but these were all small things that he wouldn't pay attention to normally!

"You... You've been wary of her, haven't you?"

Evelynn blinked and her cheeks blushed with a crimson hue of embarrassment. She hit Davis's arm as she pouted her lips, "Isn't my wariness now justified?"

Davis awkwardly chuckled before he agreed with her, "Right..."

Evelynn glared at him for a few seconds and let out a rather long sigh, "Perhaps I can help?"

"..."

Having her consent was a big deal enough and now she was here, asking him if he needed her help in having another woman?

Davis suddenly became disoriented and cast a look at the skies with his avatar, wondering if the dark speck of light in the sky had become big enough to influence people's thoughts.

However, it was the same as before, without much of a change.

"Are you for real?" He asked her with narrowed eyes, his tone filled with suspicion. Then without much of a pause, he shamelessly asked, "How are you going to help?"

Evelynn pursed her lips, "I'll have you increase your reputation and image in her heart."

"How exactly are we going to achieve that?" Davis lifted one of his brows.

"Didn't Princess Isabella talk about what kind of a person she wants her man to be in the future?" Evelynn grinned, "According to her perspective, you have a master who is an Immortal existence. Hence, in her eyes, it is also possible that you would break into the Immortal Stage in the future. This fulfilled one of her most important conditions..."

"You mean to say that I should emphasize this point to pursue her?"

Evelynn shook her head, "To further weaken her hesitation... It is already clear to me that she likes you, so..."

She blinked and suddenly asked, "What did Princess Isabella say when she rejected you? Ah, it is fine if you don't want to..."

"She said that I'm a married man and that I shouldn't be like this and then she told me to leave..." Davis quickly answered.

Evelynn eyes lit up as if she expected this reason. She looked at Davis with an unscrupulous grin on her face, "She isn't far off from being your woman."

"All that is left for you is to be persistent and continuously weaken her resistance to you. Then, by that time, whether if you're a married man or not will not make a difference to her proud heart."

Davis became increasingly tongue-tied, confused as to how she could scheme this clearly. Even to him, this plan of hers was clearly feasible.

He didn't remember Evelynn being this naughty...

'Perhaps, is this an effect of being with me for a prolonged time?'

Did his bad habit of scheming just shift to her?

Davis suddenly felt stifled in his heart. His wife was actively helping him to get another wife for him but he knew better than anyone that she had disliked this matter from the beginning.

Forsaking one's right, ego, and self-respect to be with their loved one and make them happy... He definitely wouldn't be able to do this, however, Evelynn precisely did this right now.

He would be a fool if he couldn't tell that she was doing it for none other than him... To make him happy...

Something sprung up within his heart, however, he suppressed his erupting emotions and calmed his heart down.

A moment later, he placed his palm on her head and caressed her as he opened his mouth.

"Forget it, let it be natural, otherwise, it wouldn't feel right."

He smiled peacefully but his sentence and expression stunned Evelynn into silence. She wanted to ask what if a natural approach didn't get him what he wanted but then nodded her head with a heartened smile.

"Mhm..."

She had already decided. As long as he was happy, she felt content.

======

A week passed.

During this time, nothing happened between Davis and Princess Isabella as one stayed in his room, diligently cultivating while the other refused to come out of her house as she said she would.

Perhaps they both refused to see each other to avoid awkwardness but that the reason remained to be known.

Today, Davis had a rare moment of appreciation where he thought that life is moving in his pace without much change in trajectory.

He still mused that escaping from that Eighth Stage Expert was rather a lucky breakthrough in his life, even with all those powers he had. One misstep or if he didn't act quickly, then the chase would've continued by now.

'In the end, it all depends on how I quickly act and grab the opportunity to carve my path towards the front...'

A curve appeared on his lips.

Then abruptly, he turned to look back and saw Evelynn arrive in their bedroom, dressed in green flower-patterned robes.

However, his eyes went wide as he felt her rather be sexy... Because...

Purple colored eyelashes adorned her eyes, and below her nose, she had lips that appeared in deep purple in color.

'What is this? She applied makeup and purple lipstick?' Davis blinked and smiled.

"What's up? Are we going out?" He asked.

"Mhm? No... I just wanted to try it on for a change..." Evelynn smiled as she replied.

Davis smiled blankly as he felt deeply attracted to her lips. He, in fact, liked purple and Evelynn knew that as well. He wanted to embrace her and taste those luscious and soft purple lips but shook his head.

"Then? How much have you progressed in Law Seed Stage Cultivation?"

Evelynn's smile withered. She pursed her lips and answered, "Not a big increase but I feel that I advanced at least twenty percent in Low-Level Law Seed Stage."

"While I'm happy that I'm at the Gold Stage, it also has made my essence energy storage capacity higher which makes it difficult for me to enforce a breakthrough."

"I feel like applauding all our ancestors who made progress in Law Seed Stage Cultivation without using Spirit Stones..."

A wry expression appeared on her face.

"True, it would probably take them ten years to break through to a single level, and that is only if they diligently cultivated..." Davis agreed.

He could deeply realize that as well.

Without Spirit Stones and other resources, even having a slight increase in cultivation became difficult. In this week alone, he had managed to increase his Mid-Level Law Seed Stage Cultivation by just another 8% to 10%.
