Chapter 173 I'll Be In Your Care
"Davis, I apologise for the rudeness my husband has shown. Please understand that we must deal with unknown and suspicious people before the situation is irreparable." Su Hualing uttered with a helpless expression on her face.
Davis smiled back at her as he shook his head in understanding, "I understand, being a mercenary has its disadvantages as well, especially in a desert."
Besides, he was well aware of what he did to one of their members. Other than fulfilling her wish, he also had a faint sense of insecurity since his soul was wounded.
Whether he acted on her with ulterior motives or not, even he couldn't say it.
"That's right, our husband didn't mean to hurt you. He just wanted to see if you were really a human child." Su Huabing's voice sounded out like a piece of melodious music causing one to be mesmerised.
"It's just as second sister said, he really didn't mean harm. The reason he was harsh to you was that you were not one of us. If you were, then he would've treated you differently..." Su Huajing said, her voice slightly seductive and filled with quite a bit of arrogance.
She wore a blue-coloured robe and had a veil on her face but her eyes were the same as her other two sisters. She had long velvet-coloured hair that reached till her waist, tied up in a ponytail.
Davis looked at their unique traits and felt envious of Daniuis.
He was cursing him right now for having all three beauties in his lap, especially because they were triplets.
It seemed as if they all saw him as their life too, 'What kind of luck did this bastard have?' He fumed, but his face on the surface was as indifferent as ever.
"I didn't take any offense, nor do I have the capability to offend you guys..." Davis uttered as he looked at them, his childish demeanour was nowhere to be seen.
Even with the Death Note, he was not completely sure that he could kill them as their Essence Gathering Cultivation was almost three major stages higher than his Soul Forging Cultivation.
Could he actually kill them if there was such a wide difference between the two cultivation systems?
What if he suddenly encountered a rare cultivator who had a Ninth Stage Cultivation in either the Body Cultivation System or Essence Gathering Cultivation System, but possessed a measly First Stage Soul Cultivation System? Could he kill that cultivator as well?
He didn't know the answer to these questions.
The Death Note wouldn't answer him unless he used a chance from his level up in Soul Forging Cultivation, which he didn't currently possess, not even one.
Or maybe even if he did ask, the Death Note might not know the answer.
"Besides, I, Davis, am greatly indebted to Miss Su Hualing for saving my life." He glanced at her as he said, a faint smile lingering on his face.
During the travel, she treated him like a child, possibly because she said that she has two children around his age. Unknowingly, this created a good impression of her on him.
"Does that mean I can request you of something?" Su Hualing asked, her eyes had a faint glow to it.
"Of course... If it isn't anything exaggerated." Davis said confidently but quickly returned a wry smile.
"It isn't anything exaggerated... I just want you to join our Cloud Spring Mercenaries!" Su Hualing smiled widely, causing his expression to change.
"Of course, you can decline if you want. It doesn't matter if you accept or not, but with this, you will have cleared your debt." Before he could reply, she added in a gentle tone.
Davis looked at her and thought that he was seeing an illusion, 'Do kind people like her exist in this world? Or is it because she is treating me like a child?'
He felt suspicious of her words.
"Join us. If you do missions with us, you'll be able to earn plenty of resources. Plus, you'll get to experience the world rather than cultivating all day long in the mountains." Su Huajing uttered, her tone slightly forceful.
Davis looked at her. He could see that she didn't look down on him but rather, it seemed as if it was her character, 'Maybe she is like a spoiled lady because of her two sisters?'
He thought that they pampered her, but didn't know that he guessed right.
"Don't be so forceful, Jing'er. It's his decision to make, not yours..." Su Huabing interjected, causing Su Huajing to pout with a harrumph.
Davis laughed dryly in his heart. He then stayed silent as he thought about it. There were no disadvantages in joining this mercenary group from what he had seen. They all looked like nice people to him.
"Can I leave your mercenary group whenever I want?" Davis asked as he looked at Daniuis.
"Naturally, unless you did something that counts as a betrayal to us..." Daniuis replied, causing Davis to nod.
"Then I'll be in your care, Leader Daniuis..." Davis clasped his hands and instantly replied.
The three sisters face lit up in a smile as they looked at their husband. They knew that their husband only allows certain people to enter their mercenaries if personally scouted by him.
If Davis was able to enter their mercenary group, then it means that his character was acknowledged by their husband.
Besides, the fact that Davis, an unprecedented soul cultivation genius who joined their mercenary group was itself a matter to celebrate; on the scale of a festival.
