Lucas gritted his teeth, "Ophelia stated that she is willing to be my second wife! Even if my ninth brother wants her after all this, he must step over my dead body to obtain her!"
"So, that's why you stepped up your cultivation progress…" Davis smiled as he pointed at Lucas's dantian.
Apparently, Lucas advanced a level in the Body Transformation Stage. For his age and the resources he possessed, his cultivation rate was definitely faster. However, Davis still warned him to be careful of accidentally crippling his foundation.
Lucas awkwardly laughed as he was aware that he became emotional.
"In any case, since you have already decided, become strong and determined enough to face any challenges that might come for you in the future," Davis advised.
Lucas gave a heavy nod, indicating that he wouldn't let go of Ophelia no matter what.
Davis peculiarly smiled, "However, I'm more interested in knowing how Nina accepted your relationship with Ophelia. After all, in the hall, it seemed like their relationship was amicable."
Lucas thought hard, but he wasn't aware of what took place behind the scenes, "It just became like that? Naturally…"
Davis's lips twitched.
Naturally? How hard was it for him? He mused that his Evelynn just wanted to keep him all to herself, obsessive, just like him, while Nina was perhaps accepting of everything, or it was him who made it difficult for himself by overthinking things.
In any case, he nodded and was about to say goodbye when Lucas was no longer in front of him. He had sneakily escaped back into the room.
Davis shook his head and flew above the ropes before knocking on the door.
A few seconds passed before an angry female voice echoed, "Didn't I say not to bother me for the year!?"
"It's me, Davis…"
The person seemed to have gone a bit shocked as no voice echoed for a few seconds. The sound of the door unlocking resounded before the same voice repeated, this time, a bit normal, "Enter…"
Davis pushed the door open and entered, only to see a woman with a disheveled black hair seated in a cross-legged position in the middle of the room. She wore a shiny green robe with fish patterns with white sleeves. It accentuated her curves, making her look similar to her mother in a lot of aspects. Her brows were hidden, but her beautiful facial features all possessed a frown.
"What do you want?" She scowled.
Davis actually felt a little bit of hurt. He saw her for the first time when she was nothing but a fourteen-year-old teenager, but now, she was already around twenty-five. Looking at her eyes that seemed to have gone tired, he sighed and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Lucia, do you realize what you're going through and make the others who deeply care about you go through?"
Lucia seemed ready to retort, but hearing the latter end of the question, she became tongue-tied as the scowl on her face disappeared, leaving her with sorrow.

"I… am aware…" Lucia adjusted her legs and buried her face, "But it isn't as if I could help it…"
"I already tried to come out of it but his… Glyn's smile just won't disappear…" Sniffling sounds could be heard.
"Everyone keeps to encourage me but also does in hushed voices because Nina still doesn't know that her little brother is dead, and she too doesn't make a sound anymore because she feels guilty of going out to search for Glyn at that time while accidentally leaking the plan to leave, endangering everyone…"
"All this makes me feel it is better if I died rather than Glyn at that time. It was I who was supposed to receive that attack and die. At least, everyone could've forgotten about me after some time. I'm just another daughter out of the many in this family…"
"I-" Lucia suddenly felt a palm on her head.
"Relax, I won't say anything to you other than don't lose hope. In the future, you might reunite with the person you loved, so don't lose hope." Davis repeated twice.
Lucia didn't raise her head. It was unknown how she took his words, but she just nodded while bawling out her eyes into her thighs. In fact, all she needed was someone to pour out her emotions that she kept bottled inside. The others weren't suitable as they couldn't understand her plight, but since her cousin, Davis, who is a generation younger to her, knew everything, only he and a select few like Nina would be able to understand what she is currently feeling.
It wouldn't be farfetched to say that she was passively waiting for someone understanding to visit and let her talk, and it just so happened to be Davis.
Davis inwardly sighed as he knew that it was partly his fault. He should've noticed this right from the moment he let Lucia view Glyn's corpse, but he didn't, and that let her heart suffer unknowingly.
He couldn't possibly tell that her that he was waiting for Fallen Heaven to improve so that he could finally revive Glyn. With the two powers, the death-like energy and the life-like energy in his arsenal, he didn't believe that he would be unable to revive a person.
If Life and Death Laws combined don't revive a person, then what law does? Was it really helpless as it seemed? Although he felt that the idea was good, he had no idea when he would be able to achieve this feat, or if it is even possible in the first place!
So, he didn't jump the gun and say that he might be able to revive Glyn in the future. That would be getting her hopes for nothing if he wasn't able to revive a person.
Davis still possessed Glyn's corpse and his soul essence, but the soul essence he collected was in an inactive, dormant state. He figured that even if he were to put the soul essence back in the corpse, it was impossible to rejuvenate Glyn as his soul sea has already collapsed.
Glyn's corpse right now was nothing more than an empty vessel. No, it's not even empty, but a void. The soul sea had collapsed after all. If Fallen Heaven didn't say that the life-like energy could not heal a dead person, he would've already tried it.
He was afraid that without the correct methods, the life-like energy might purify Glyn's soul essence instead. After all, by now, the dead's soul essence was not something that should not exist within this world as it should've already entered the reincarnation cycle.
The dead's soul essence should've crossed the reincarnation cycle, and entered a new life. If it didn't, would it be a repeat of the same thing that happened to him? Or was his a unique situation where Fallen Heaven had managed to cheat the heavens?
Davis didn't know, but he was actually nervous, nervous that this action of keeping the dead's complete soul essence, three parts of the spiritual soul essence, and seven parts of physical soul essence with him would bring about untoward consequences.
Would he greatly offend the heavens?
He didn't know, so he was as careful as possible in this matter. Unless he were ninety percent sure or even possessed a tremendous hint of success, he would not experiment with Glyn's soul essence. That was just too risky!
Davis could understand Lucia's emotions to a certain level since he had his Heart Intent active. He knew that at this time that he should avoid advising her and just be silent while listening to her. Perhaps, listening is the best thing that he could've done to her.
