Chapter 1731 - Willingness
Sharing the thoughts of Iesha and Natalya, Davis was also in awe of this soul pact technique.
He found that this Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact had the intricacies of Karma Laws, somewhat similar to the Transitory Beast Taming Technique, which he now found similar principles.
The more trust he shared with Nadia, the more the technique revealed its features to him.
Nevertheless, the Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact appeared more phenomenal to him. It was ingenious to him how one could connect the emotions of two people to increase the level of the technique that he couldn't help but admire the unknown creator, who was probably an expert than Karmic Guardian Emperor in Karma Laws.
He could only understand this due to his understanding of visible Karmic Threads. If he could not see the Karmic Threads and the invisible connection people shared, he wouldn't know what this technique was based upon, and one didn't need to learn Karma Laws to use it as it was merely the intricacies behind the vessel like modern humans being able to use the internet through a modem or router without even knowing how it works internally, which made it appear all the more spectacular to him.
Perhaps, this was an immortal technique created by an Immortal but was regressed to Emperor Grade for mortals to use. Either way, he still couldn't help but admire the creator of this soul pact.
"Give me some time. I'll comprehend this technique."
"I'll do the same~"
Both Natalya and Iesha looked determined to try this technique.
Iesha took five minutes, but Natalya took half an hour to comprehend the Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact. In the meantime, Davis shared his past with Iesha, making her know more about him while her eyes were full of awe.
Iesha couldn't believe that his rise was a quick and glorious one, although it was filled with hurdles and one big thorny hurdle at the end that almost killed him. Before, she imagined that he came from the immortal world until he said otherwise, and now, she wholeheartedly believed what he said, that he was a human who came from that place full of mortals.
It was wonderful to hear as she could imagine the adventures he went through, making her yearn to have experienced along with him as she was nothing more than a princess who was not allowed to exit the capital without permission.
They both sat on the edge of the bed, looking at each other while Iesha found solace in the hand that she held. She couldn't help but lean on his shoulder, wanting to feel more of his warmth.
"Davis, I want to be with you~"
She comfortably spoke, no longer feeling the hesitation. There was no uncertainty in her eyes as she peacefully smiled, but then a warm hand grabbed her chin as it lifted her face up, making her look at his solemn expression.
"I will love you, take care of you and protect you, Iesha. I swear it on my life. That's why, will you become mine forever?"
Davis asked with expectations as he wanted to hear from her own mouth instead of hearing that she was already his by some accident. As for Iesha, perhaps becoming moved by his words, she welled up with tears before she nodded her head.
"I will become your woman. I swear we'll reach immortality together and have a manifestation of love in our arms."
"Iesha..."
Davis didn't think Iesha was quite the romanticist, but he was immensely moved nevertheless, taking this chance to lean towards her face and take her cherry blue lips that appeared like blueberry lips. Instantly, Iesha's eyes widened as she experienced the indescribable feeling of a first kiss. It made her heart feel full of love that tears began to overflow from her eyes.
She never thought she would love a person this much, much less a human.
As her feelings became overwhelmed, she also moved her lips, kissing Davis, which made him feel that Iesha finally accepted him wholeheartedly.
"I'm done comprehending!~"
Natalya stood up and looked at them, looking eager to use the soul pact, but once she noticed them embracing together in a lip-locked state, her expression changed as she sat down and pretended that she hadn't seen anything.
"...!"
Iesha quickly separated from Davis. She felt her heart skip a beat multiple times, like when Davis kissed her and now when Natalya spotted her doing naughty things. Now, she could feel her heart rapidly beat, making the heat in her body become abnormally warm, yet it felt good, not making her understand.
Was this true love which her fortunate half-sisters who found their significant others told her about?
"Natalya. Stop acting already. We know you saw us..."
Davis couldn't help but utter sadly.
"How crass." Natalya opened her eyes and pouted as she stood up, "At least pretend that I didn't see so the innocent Iesha would feel less embarrassed."
Davis chuckled before he wrapped his arms around the flustered Iesha's waist, pulling her closer to him.
"As I said, you were our witness. Now, Iesha is officially one of your sisters, so you should take care of her more than ever."
He raised his brows consecutively until Natalya couldn't help but smile.
"How selfish~ But, I accept."
Natalya cast her smile to the flustered spirit before she walked to her and grasped her hands.
"Iesha, let's form the soul pact. I will take care of you, so help me catch up to big sister and third sister. No matter what, I must increase my cultivation!"
"Woah, take it slow..."
Davis couldn't help but warn with a grave voice.
"I know. But with Iesha and the soul pact acting as an anchor for my cultivation, I will be able to progress faster than having to wait for my cultivation to solidify."
Davis thought for a moment before he nodded. "Seems reasonable."
Iesha stood up from his embrace and nodded at Natalya while still holding her hands.
"I will aid you, Natalya. Let's form a soul pact."
Natalya's smiling expression became solemn.
To use the Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact, they must both use their energies at the same time and create a prism in the human's soul sea, which also requires working together.
"Remember, if any one of you loses your life, the other will have their souls permanently harmed as a chunk of soul essence would be destroyed, also having a chance to make you enter a vegetative state for a period of time, leaving you vulnerable." Davis warned them again, "This is one of the drawbacks of the technique."
Both Natalya and Iesha nodded as they already knew but the former shot a wry smile at him.
"To tie my conscious with Iesha, you really do love her, huh..."
"I never utter empty words." Davis's lips curved, "That said, if any one of you is not willing, this soul technique won't work, so use it with confidence. I don't care if it fails as I care the most about the health of you two, not your cultivation."
"Don't worry. You're talking to Natalya, the woman who escaped the fate of killing herself multiple times. If anything, I have strong luck! Hehehe~"
Natalya giggled before she interlocked her fingers with Iesha while Davis went flabbergasted, wondering if she had been infected by her little sister Fiora to be making self-deprecating jokes.
"Now~"
Iesha spoke with conviction while Natalya nodded.
Their energies undulated before Iesha's icy spirit energy rushed into Natalya's soul. It helped Natalya with the carvings that she made to construct a prism. The carvings were unintelligible as they appeared like mysterious inscriptions able to resonate with the heavens, but she followed the technique and kept constructing the soul pact patiently.
Natalya first felt uncomfortable letting Iesha enter her soul sea, but she slowly became used to it as time passed while Davis watched over them with similar intensity as his fingers twitched to use life energy when required at any moment.
Before long, Natalya and Iesha trembled before the latter suddenly phased and entered Natalya's forehead within a split second.
'Success...!'
Davis's eyes went wide as he saw this scene.
'Now Natalya knows that there's another soul riding along with her. This way, she wouldn't carelessly do something stupid as to commit suicide...'
He narrowed his eyes and inwardly nodded.
He had the confidence to protect her from others even while he was away, but to protect her from herself, he didn't. This is why he felt that this technique was handmade for Natalya, and it seems like both parties were quite willing to be able to form this soul pact.
'Well, benefits are eternal...'
He imagined, but he didn't know that both Natalya and Iesha became truly willing only after he declared his love for the latter because they both truly believed in his words!
