Chapter 1191: It Isnt A Dream (1/2)

”Davis... Did you just have a breakthrough in your Fire Law comprehension...?” Sophie blinked, not believing her eyes.

”Heh, seems like it.” Davis smirked, ”However, it's not that significant since I had just reached Level One Intent in Fire Laws in both Essence Gathering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation.”

”Just by looking at the complicated engravings, you managed to comprehend in two cultivation systems?” Sophie appeared flabbergasted by Davis's speech, ”You really are an Alstreim...”

”Mhm... Now that you mention it, it seems that I inherited both father and mother's talent in law comprehension, except I didn't concentrate on learning Fire Laws but Lightning Laws...”

Davis knew that he didn't comprehend Fire Laws for Essence Gathering Cultivation at all. It was not even at Elementary Intent, yet he directly crossed a level in comprehension and comprehended Level One Intent for Essence Gathering Cultivation while further cementing his comprehension to Level One Intent in Soul Forging Cultivation at the same time.

Perhaps because of his mother's higher class background, his talent in comprehending Fire Laws was more than Lightning Laws? After all, comparatively, his father's and paternal grandfather's talent in Lightning Laws should be lesser as they haven't entered higher stages in the past.

Logan had entered the Law Manifestation Stage just recently, causing him to nod in a bit of skepticism and agreement. After all, he also felt that his comprehension of Lightning Laws was thanks to the two Lightning Elementals he absorbed.

”Davis, can I know your age...?”

”... I'm about to become twenty-four soon...” Davis absentmindedly answered, still thinking about the intricacies, about what would've happened if he chose a Fire-Attributed Cultivation Manual first than the Lightning-Attributed one.

Would his Fire Laws be more powerful than his Lightning Laws, excluding the benefits given by the Lightning Elementals?

On the other hand, Sophie's expression was utterly stiff in incredulity. She was speechless again.

Twenty-four what!?

She was in her fifties, and she actually chose to fall in love with a man who was younger than her in age? Forget that... Didn't he say something about becoming a Soul King in this cultivation training sessions? Twenty-four and a Soul King?

'What is happening...?'

Sophie felt dizzy as her entire world view was being turned upside down again and again the more she was with him. She didn't know if she could really get used to it, as he had said before, but she wanted to get used to it. Otherwise, she didn't know when she was going to die of shock.

”Mhmm... Although the Lightning Elementals played a vital role, I cannot deny my father's talent in Lightning Laws played a part. As for Fire Laws, I have no choice but to accept that I inherited the most out of my mother... Otherwise, this double comprehension wouldn't make sense even with the aid of the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape's Crystallized Flame Bead...”

Davis happily turned to look, ”Sophie, I must thank you for making me realize that my com-”

He suddenly stopped, noticing that her expression was rather abnormal. He held her shoulders and shook her, ”Sophie, are you alright?”

Sophie did indeed come out of her reverie, but her expression was funny as she didn't know if she should laugh or cry, perhaps both.

”Davis, you are younger than me by thirty years...?”

Davis became taken aback before he recalled saying something about his age. He smirked, finally knowing what it was that bothered her.

”Yes. Is it an impediment to our relationship?”

”No!” Sophie hurriedly shook her head before she shyly turned her head away in embarrassment, ”It's just... I never thought that I would fall in love with a younger man...”

Sophie was deeply embarrassed, alright. After all, she always imagined that Davis was around eighty-years old, or at the very least, sixty years old, similar to her since he was said to be below hundred years old. She didn't know what to think after he told her that he was twenty-freaking-four!

This was just too much to bear for her heart and mind.

On the other hand, Davis became ecstatic about the fact that she was thirty years older than him. After all, his true age or soul age can be said to be fifty-four years old.

She was perfectly his age. However, he felt that this should be explained by his wives rather than him since it would be more believable.

'Now that I recall... Natalya still doesn't know that... Only Evelynn and Isabella know about my past...' Davis pursed his lips as he thought, 'Oh well, I'll have to rely on Evelynn again to explain to the both of them...'

Davis felt sorry for troubling her again, but she has to take a few responsibilities since she was the big sister. He inwardly yet shamelessly convinced himself.

He waved his hand and put the seventy-meter tall body into his spatial ring as the wind picked up the fill the empty space. He then pushed the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape's Crystallized Flame Bead to Sophie, wanting her to have it.

”Still, this would be useful to you than me... I'm going to concentrate on my soul. As for Fire Laws, there are many resources out there in the world. We'll obtain as many as we need...” Davis smiled.

However, that smirk was extremely attractive to Sophie as she saw the confidence in him. It pulled her in like the empty void, making her heart rapidly beat for obvious reasons.

She lowered her head and uttered, ”Thank you...”

*Boom!~~~*

A bolt of peak-level seventh stage lightning fell tens of meters away from them, causing them to shake their heads with smiles.

”Let's move on...” Davis grasped her delicate hand and headed towards the inner region.

He smiled as he felt convinced with this hunt. Not only did he obtain a Low-Level King Beast Stage Soul Essence and six Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Soul Essences, but he also obtained a unique resource, making it extremely worth it.

'Damn, this is remarkably easier than facing an entire clan. I hope I meet a few more scouting or scavenging parties so I could hunt with my own strength...' Davis inwardly felt the satisfaction.

”I hope we find a few kilograms of Yorang Ores... If not, it's also not a problem since I possibly could not melt them with my current strength...” Sophie uttered.

”Is that so...?” Davis smiled as he stared at her.

”What...?” Sophie's expression became filled with a crimson hue.

Why was he looking at her like that, as if there was a hidden intent behind his look?
