Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3502 The Harem Council

"…"

Everyone moved their heads around, looking at each other as if they hadn't heard about this matter, about voting rights. Of course, they knew they had official rights as his way to lay their opinions and have justice brought to them but they thought it wasn't official-official.

Was this just to allow which woman could enter their husband's lives, or were they elders who made the decision for the family now?

"Our Bylai made this mechanism with our best interests in mind, and Clara can tell that I'm not lying, so please cast your votes."

Mingzhi spoke again, seeing no one make a move even after three seconds.

With her words, everyone cast a look at Bylai and looked at her with praiseful eyes, causing her to lightly nod and smile. She was embarrassed because she had no idea that Mingzhi, who ordered this mechanism from her, was going to use this here, although she guessed it had something to do with voting.

She didn't think the first thing it would be used was to allow or not allow Tia into their harem.

On the other hand, Clara nodded, letting everyone know that Mingzhi spoke the truth. However, she blinked, wondering why many were still staring at her face as though hoping to garner something.

*Clack~*

At the center of the circle, a projection suddenly appeared.

It had the number one on it.

"Very good." Mingzhi gestured at it, "It's a green number, which means someone voted to allow Tia into the harem. However, the rest of the votes will be displayed later in order to avoid herd behavior. Remember, you must vote using your own thoughts."

Evelynn and the others nodded.

Silence reigned in the hall while Davis could feel many gazes on him. He ignored all and waited, but he turned to look at Mingzhi, sending her a soul transmission.

"Thanks for taking care of this matter, Mingzhi. Where's Schleya?"

After he visited Fairy Thunderblaze, he visited Mingzhi and wondered what kind of laws she charted. Since his Mingzhi was an investigator while on Earth, he knew she would have some or significant knowledge of the law, so while he was interested in piping in his rod in her, he was also interested in piping in his opinions, and she revealed this interesting mechanism which enabled him to take it out for a test drive.

Nonetheless, he wanted to ask about Schleya as he noticed she was missing on the last and twenty-fifth seat next to him. However, since Schleya was busy working for Mingzhi, he imagined she would be late, but she still hadn't come yet.

Mingzhi suppressed a tremble, her lips curling, "Well, I requested her something, and she fled."

"What?" Davis's brows creased.

"Don't worry. It's not something to worry about as that girl's only embarrassed. I'll eventually get her to come around."

"Alright…"

Davis nodded with a blink.

An entire minute passed before Mingzhi opened her mouth, "Thank you for voting, everyone. If there is someone who is yet to vote, your votes will become abstained in ten seconds, so please vote before that."

After saying her piece, Mingzhi went silent for ten seconds before she waved her black sleeves, causing a formation core to come out in her palm, which she used, causing the projection to change.

A green number, red number, and white number appeared in a row.

[20 - 0 - 4]

Mingzhi's lips curled into an amused smile, "Everyone present voted in favor of accepting Tia Alstreim into the harem. The other four have automatically abstained since Myria, Tina, Dalila, and Schleya haven't shown up to vote."

She turned around and smiled, "Isn't that good for you, Tia? No one said no."

"…"

Tia placed a hand on her mouth as she appeared shocked. Not even one objection?

'This can't be…' she inwardly denied it.

"Take… take a revote…"

She uttered, unable to believe that everyone approved of her. She was an aunt, a relative! If Davis took her, surely anyone could imagine that in the future, it would happen again with some other relative, perhaps even closer than her.

Someone would definitely protest in worry, no?

"Tia, back in my old family, we sometimes marry between brothers and sisters to protect the bloodline, so allowing someone like you to enter isn't something that big of a matter to me," Bylai spoke up.

"Right, the dragons are quite unbridled when it comes to protecting the bloodline." Zestria nodded in agreement.

Mingzhi pointed at him.

"Davis…!"

"Darling…!"

"Husband…!"

Numerous complaints echoed simultaneously, their expressions looking at him with reproachful faces.

"Well, I told you all to stop, but fine, fine. I won't use it anymore… I'm sorry…"

Davis raised his hands in surrender.

"No, that won't do."

*Clank~*

Mingzhi activated the core again, causing the projection to reset.

[1 - 0 - 0]

Instantly, a number appeared in favor of banning him from this place, causing Davis to gawk.

He stood up, looking at Claire, "Look how they're bullying me, mother. Does it look like I'm forcing them?"

Claire wryly smiled. Even she had to admit he was stuck in a quagmire right now.

"You deserve it~"

"Yay~ Mother-in-law is on our side!" Mingzhi cheered.

"…"

Davis looked frustrated and sat back, but anyone who knew him well would know that he wasn't offended because if he didn't want this to happen, his face would be devoid of expression, his voice utter cold.

Soon, the results were out.

[15 - 5 - 4]

"Ah, we have five traitors in our midst!"

Seeing the result, Mingzhi screamed out.

"But aren't we in the majority?" Isabella smilingly asked.

"Yes, but as I said before, matters concerning our husband can be overturned if he even has one vote in support of him. It's the Patriarch Privilege!"

"Ohh~"

The beauties clamored, understanding that unless they got every single one of them to vote against him, he was practically invulnerable to the harem council.

A few pairs of eyes flashed, understanding what was going on.

"Then you're screwed~" Fiora giggled at Mingzhi, causing her to gasp.

She quickly hid the mechanism core in her sleeves and smiled pretty, "Husband, did you call?"

She daintily walked towards him with an innocent face and fell on his lap, "It wasn't me. It was the Malevolent Darkness Soul influencing me, trying to get me exiled to the cold palace so I would grow colder and eviler~"

"Ahahaha!~"

Davis smiled at her while everyone laughed.

"No worries. I definitely… won't… hold this against you!"

He embraced her, causing even more laughter to spread, but he also sent her a soul transmission.

"That was an excellent showmanship. Well done, Mingzhi."

"I'm glad you liked it~"

They both smiled at each other, and Davis could once again remember why he loved this woman so much. In every vote, she was probably the first to vote, leading the group. In terms of smarts, he knew she was no less than Myria or Fairy Thunderblaze, but she was tame, not willing to use it against her sisters, and used it for his sake.

Now, she used her smarts to make this judgmental and conflicting environment to one they might come to enjoy instead of watching each other warily!
