Chapter 1017: You Are Still Of Some Use (1/2)
On one side, it was him, and on the other, it was the Earth Dragon Immortal.
The Earth Dragon Immortal could be considered Princess Isabella's benefactor, teacher, or even her master, not to mention that it is her Ruth Empire's foundational existence, becoming an equal or greater existence similar to the Ruth Empire's First Ancestor.
Considering the multitude of ties the Earth Dragon Immortal had with the Ruth Empire, there was no way she could easily curse the Earth Dragon Immortal. It wouldn't be even strange if they worshipped the Earth Dragon Immortal, but it seemed like it wasn't anything like that but still held in high respect.
Princess Isabella had probably shown deep and immense respect towards it when it indirectly told her that the Inheritance would be hers. He could understand the reason why the upright yet hypocritical Earth Dragon Immortal took such measures against him was to protect Princess Isabella from his claws.
Now that he thought like this, he found it quite funny that the Earth Dragon Immortal that bent its own rules to protect Princess Isabella from him was going to end up as his third wife in the near future.
He couldn't wait to see the expression on its face when it eventually learned of this fact!
”Davis, why is your expression strange?”
”Ahem!” Davis came out of his reverie, ”What were you saying?”
Princess Isabella curled her lips, ”Originally, I was against using the Sage Golden Strengthening Pill since my breakthrough to the Martial Master Stage was achieved through the usage of Golden Strengthening Pill. The Earth Dragon Immortal also advised me not to use it for my next major breakthrough because it would affect my foundation, not to mention my comprehension can be a bit lacking if forced, so I wanted to enter the Martial Sage Stage naturally which would take time.”
”However, because you ended up gifting me the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar, I was able to easily break through to the Martial Sage Stage without any side effects, and now I can use the Sage Golden Strengthening Pill to increase my strength again!”
Princess Isabella's lips were wide in a smile.
”This way, even if Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim or Grand Elder Elise Alstreim or both comes for revenge, I would have the confidence to take down both of them at the same time!”
Davis smiled and stroked her head, ”Then go seclude yourself soon. If they come, I might need your help.”
Princess Isabella nodded her head as she felt his palm caress her. She stepped away from his embrace but strode forwards as she gave one last, everlasting kiss before she instantly disappeared from his gaze. She didn't literally disappear but used her abnormal speed to fly away.
Davis smiled in glee before his expression faded, replacing it with cold look.
The Earth Dragon Immortal slighted him time and time again. Of course, it denied him once at that time, but when he learned of these facts one by one, his grievance against it also grew bit by bit. However, Princess Isabella's flowery words did help him forgive the Earth Dragon Immortal, and besides, he didn't want to make it difficult for Princess Isabella.
'Whatever... Isabella belongs to me anyway...' He brushed it away.
Nevertheless, that wasn't reason for the change in his expression! It was because the so-called father of Immeth Alstreim had finally arrived!
======
Davis, in his Solitary Soul Avatar form, hovered in a room in a concealed state at the top floor of that inn before, waiting for the guest to arrive after the Alchemy Exchange had ended. Of course, Immeth Alstreim was also there in the same room, patiently waiting just like him as she sat in a lotus position.
She did not even cultivate but just waited without doing anything and had her eyes closed.
Davis did not pay any attention to her but was concentrating on his main body's conversation with Isabella. Their conversation was about to end when suddenly Immeth Alstreim's messaging talisman that she was holding in her palm suddenly lit up.
”I'm outside...”
