Chapter 2171: Chapter 39

Chapter 39

One whole year passed .

Davis was 9 years old now . He grew up to 4 feet 9 inches tall . His face began to shape like his father who also looked like a lady killer . Combined with his mother's looks, he will certainly be popular among women in the future .

Davis wholly spent most of his time cultivating . He finally reached Mid Level Iron Stage, High Level Infant Soul Stage, High Level Energy Condensation Stage .

During this year, he didn't get a chance to meet Evelynn or rather one should say that he put that matter on the back of his head . He was still waiting for her reply but none came even now .

He also made Ellia train in Body Tempering Cultivation and Essence Gathering Cultivation . He made her train in the same Cultivation Techniques he cultivated in . Her talent was great as well, but not to the point of being a genius . He managed to pull some strings with some random excuses to get the resources for her cultivation . Of course, if his father and mother found about it, even he doesn't know what will happen .

Ellia achieved Peak Level Copper Body Stage and Peak Level Meridian Refinement Stage during this time .

Logan and Claire also worked 'hard' and birthed a baby boy during this year . Davis was so happy that he finally got a little brother . Anymore little sisters and he will probably get diabetes .

Logan mostly worked his butt off to see to the affairs of the Empire . He only had enough time to meet Claire and he didn't worry about Davis while he had no idea on what to do about Clara .

Clara was now 5 years old . She started cultivating normally as one would do when they reach this age . But she also made sure to make quick progress in cultivation . She reached Low Level Meridian Refinement Stage and was already on the verge of breaking through to the Mid Level of Meridian Refinement Stage .

A day before, she was even more gutsy than Davis and had tried cultivating Body Tempering Cultivation System, only to fail miserably . She couldn't bear the pain and fainted . The remaining energy in her body went berserk and considerably damaged her body, fortunately it was not fatal as Logan was beside her at that time .

Logan who had allowed her to cultivate Body Cultivation System got severe beatings from Claire . Of course, it had been all in Claire's room or he would have lost his face big time . He didn't say anything as he also felt guilty about Clara .

Davis who had heard this stayed with her in her room from yesterday . She still didn't wake up .

Davis looked at her face warmly, he held her hands . She also tightly held his hands, it was unknown whether she did it consciously or subconsciously .

"Why are you trying so hard Clara?" Davis muttered . He sighed again .

He didn't know how many times he sighed like an old man from yesterday . He blamed himself for this accident .

'If only I had watched her properly . '

'If only I had paid attention to her from that time . '

'After all I said that to Mom about taking care of her, talk about pathetic . '

Thoughts like these were swirling around his head making him severely depressed . Just as he was wallowing in his depression . Clara's hand slightly moved .

It woke Davis up from his depression and he anxiously shouted .

"Clara!"

Clara, who was lying in her bed, opened her eyes slowly .

Seeing that she was fine, Davis heaved a sigh of relief, much different to the previous depressive sighs .

"Brother?" She weakly smiled at him .

Seeing that weak smile, Davis lost himself in immense guilt . He felt like something was stabbing his heart .

"Clara, I'm sorry, it's all brother's fault . I shouldn't have left you alone at that time no matter what . I've caused you meaningless sufferings, I'm so sorry, even though you worked so hard, I've closed my eyes t . . . "

Clara placed her finger on his lip as she weakly smiled .

"It isn't brother's fault . "

A single sentence .

That single sentence was like a spear that pierced through the walls as he felt his guilt dissolve into boundless love .

Tears fell out of his eyes as he stayed silent and bit his lips .

"Why? Why do you try so hard?" Davis feebly asked .

"Because I want to stay with brother forever . " Clara tightly embraced her brother as if she wouldn't let him go no matter what .

This time, she didn't try to hide anything as what she had gotten into has equally harmed her brother .

Davis stood there stunned . He could feel her pure emotions of wanting to stay with him .

"Why? Why me?"

"Only you were there for me . "

"Me? What about Father and Mother?"

"Mother and Father both… lie to me from time to time as if they practiced it… beforehand . Even other people in the royal castle lie and deceive, it makes me very scared . Only brother didn't lie to me . Being with you makes me comfortable . "

"Mother and Father lied? It can't be!"

"I'm telling the truth, my eyes have said so . "

"You truly think so?"

"I believe my eyes . "

"Then brother will verify it for you!"

"No…"

Before she can even reply, Davis sent a crystal transmission to Logan and Claire that Clara had woken up and was immediately requesting their presence .

"It's fine, brother will protect you . " Davis strongly replied .

"Hmm . " She nodded her head nervously .

'Lies? What possible lies? This is getting rather out of hand . Even I have no way to tell if they are lying or not . Guess I'll just have to ask them directly in front of Clara . Indirectly confronting them can possibly lead to Clara losing trust in me . No matter what, I just want to avoid that as much as possible . ' He thought .

Not even a minute passed before both of them simultaneously showed up in Clara's room . It could be seen that they were truly anxious .

"Clara! Are you fine?" Both of them asked simultaneously . Worry could be seen in their eyes . They also maintained some distance from Clara afraid that she might possibly show rejection to them .

Clara nodded head but didn't dare to look in their eyes as she thought that she will get into trouble soon .

If she had looked into their eyes then she would've noticed the worry and care in their eyes .

Seeing that she kept her head down, both of them looked at Davis with a questioning gaze .

*cough*

"Mom and Dad, Clara and I want to talk to you about something . "

Clara visibly trembled lightly .

"Talk? Is it a serious matter?" Logan asked .

"…Depends . "

"Perfect, I have something to talk about too . " Claire replied .

"I think what mom wants to talk about and what we want to talk is about the same . "

"Hmm?" Claire had a puzzled expression .

"Now, I have a question to ask of you and you both must answer honestly . " Davis face went serious . He changed his attitude towards them for the sake of his sister .
