"Let's not make big steps at this time." Davis raised his hands and uttered calmly, "We still have to defend the Verdant Vale Realm Core and potentially try to gain the Ghostly Crow Realm Core and also defend it. We will have our forces spread out, so we need to be prepared to be separated from them in case that terrifying poison affects Stella's space in some inconceivable way."
"…"
Myria and the others thought about it for a few moments before nodding.
Although they didn't know about the Hell Poison Gem's true nature, if it was a powerful poison- no, the most powerful poison to ever exist, it should be capable of affecting nearly everything, and affecting space would be a given.
Moreover, Stella's branches stemming from her true body or vestige body were connected to the entire realm like veins spreading into the ground. In this case, those invisible veins spread into the mini-realm's layer, so if the poison exploded, she could potentially get poisoned.
That was not the problem.
Stella could always abandon her mini-realm by cutting off her connection to it.
However, if the hell poison was considered terrifying, then it should also possess karmic powers.
It could affect even Stella's true body.
So it was not wise to activate it now.
"Agreed." Evelynn nodded, "There's no need to be hasty. Even if someone found it, they wouldn't be able to use it. We made a contraption to send it somewhere else into the vast space if it is not the members here who can access it."
"Oh great." Davis nodded proudly.
He turned to look at the members: Evelynn, Myria, Stella, Sophie, Tia, and… even Hailac?
He saw that Andiron and Yufella had left. The latter had left for the Verdant Vale Lower Realm quickly since she had been stationed there.
His gaze stopped on Mystic Diviner Hailac, and she quickly shook her head.
"Of course not. I cannot access it. I'm not even a core member of the Davis Family."
Davis blinked, "I allowed you to head there because I believe in you. There was no reason not to be included."
"…" Mystic Diviner Hailac looked stunned.
"As long as you are one of our Mystic Diviners, you will be our core member. Mystic Diviners play a huge role when it comes to protecting the power from unseen dangers. I know you're not the type to overestimate yourself, which is good, but don't sell yourself short, either."
"… okay~"
Mystic Diviner Hailac lowered her head, "Thank you for trusting me."
Davis broke out into a smile, "I'll depend on you to take care of Tia. She has too many unorthodox and dangerous ideas. She is going to get herself killed if you're not with her."
"Mhmm~" Tia pouted, "Big brother, do you have so little trust in my ability?"
"I have too much trust that it would work but will also pull mystical entities that scream danger into the fray."
Davis chuckled, causing the others to laugh.
Mystic Diviner Hailac also broke out into a smile. If she had known she was trusted this much, she wouldn't have vehemently shaken her head when Evelynn tried asking if she wanted to give her soul essence for the ejection formation.
"You can also access the formation," Myria smiled at Davis, "I used another Jade Soul Pearl, which carries your soul essence. With this, I have only one left."
"Alright, I'll replenish it."
Davis nodded twice. The Jade Soul Pearl sure came in handy.
Myria turned to look at Davis, "Evelynn, give those Aurora Jade Soul Pearls to him. They can be stored for an extremely long time. Davis's soul essence should last over ten thousand years without losing a single bit of essence. Further degradation would occur after that, but it doesn't matter. Even if it has lost much essence, it'll still work for me."
"That's great."
Evelynn cast a strange smile, "Little sister, you're the only person who can devour his soul and taste it."
"…"
Myria glanced at Evelynn, her cheeks burning from the sexual implication.
Evelynn gave the Aurora Jade Soul Pearls to Davis. There were only eight of them, so he couldn't use them willfully.
Davis knew these were precious soul pearls unobtainable in this realm or possibly even the galaxy. After all, these pearls came from another galaxy.
Nevertheless, he was more surprised that Evelynn called Myria a little sister. He supposed they talked to each other and strengthened their bond. He couldn't help but feel gratified.
"You're wrong. Vereina can also do it." Myria seemed to have become red in the face. She finally shot back.
Evelynn blinked before she suppressed her laughter.
"Does that mean you accept Vereina as your sister?"
"When did I say that?"
Myria seemed to be at a loss.
"Alright, alright. I'll let my beauties devour my soul all they want. It's being sold in the Davis's Family Treasury for a discount anyway."
Davis quickly stepped in to help Myria. She didn't have the ability to tease and tease back. It wasn't like she couldn't, but it could be seen she wasn't experienced.
"Really…?" Myria turned to look at him in shock.
Davis stared at Myria. She was really innocent.
The others couldn't stop laughing as they turned away and suppressed their laughter.
Davis didn't let Myria see them and pulled her into an embrace, "It's just a figure of speech. No matter how fast I can heal myself, how could I treat myself like that?"
He brushed her silky white hair and kissed her forehead with affection.
"Mingzhi arrested the fool who tried to pierce you with an arrow after you underwent your heavenly tribulation. Deal with him as you see fit."
He whispered softly, causing Myria to raise her head to look at him and nod her head but then shake, "I'm sure you already have a plan, so deal with that interloper as you always do. I will give my opinion if needed."
"Alright then."
Davis nodded, "It's been hard on you these few days. You should take some rest along with everyone else. Maybe have a girl's night together."
Myria thought for a moment before she nodded. She knew bonding with the sisters was important. Moreover, she was really tired. Using Davis's soul essence, exhausting her powers, devising new runes to construct formations to hide and eject the poison treasure… all of that drained her psyche.
Evelynn took Myria away with the others. She wanted to repay for the help she had been given. Otherwise, she would've pounced on Davis already and she was sure he felt the same since his eyes glanced at her bosoms many times during their conversation, making her feel prideful.
