Chapter 1328: True Feelings Of... (1/2)
Davis looked at the red-haired beauty who remained gorgeous and alluring, perhaps even more mature than the last time he had seen her since she seemed grown-up, her features becoming more womanly. Her skin was pristine as if it was sculpted out of white jade, pale and dreamy.
Shirley remained stunned, but her heart was filled with numerous emotions that couldn't be said by her agape mouth. Two tears uncontrollably fell out of her eyes as she placed both palms on her mouth as if suppressing her joyful emotions.
She inevitably moved forward as her legs moved. However, she jerked to a stop as a voice echoed.
”Senior sister! He can't be your Davis! This person is extremely strong and abnormal enough to silently pass through formations that even King Soul Stage Experts would find hard to pass through!”
Esvele appeared in front of Shirley as she blocked her from moving forward with her hands as she reached out. Her revolving core seemed like it began to strangely give off a low hum as it rumbled!
Davis's eyes narrowed while Esvele sent a soul transmission to Shirley.
”Senior sister, please escape! I'll use my death to hold him off for a few seconds...!”
”Wai-!”
Before Shirley could even warn her, Esvele shot towards Davis, her revolving core rumbling towards the path of self-destruction.
*Bzzzz!~*
”Forgive my rudeness...”
Davis moved at the same time as Esvele and appeared by her side. Even before he got to her, his overwhelming soul force surged out as he used the Soul Suppressing Art. It directly caused Esvele to faint within a second of it reaching her forehead, penetrating her soul sea before it suppressed the soul essence as if it was going to crush it.
However, he held back plenty, and the result was that Esvele cleanly lost consciousness as she lost her footing and collapsed, but before she could fall even a bit, Davis gently supported the big-breasted beauty as he held her in his arms.
Shirley ran towards him before taking Esvele from him, looking panicked.
”Don't worry. I just made this woman unconscious. It is nothing of concern...”
Shirley looked relieved as she heard Davis's speech. She tried to calm her rapidly beating heart as her lips moved.
”I'm sorry... She doesn't know you, and she had enough of men trying to take advantage of us through foul and deceptive means..”
”It's fine.” Davis shook his head, ”I mean, she is in the right to make a move against me considering that I'm extremely suspicious, but to think that you found a friend who would die for you.”
”I'm happy for you, Shirley.” He smiled.
”A friend...” Shirley wryly smiled as she brought Esvele towards the sofa and gently smoothed her over it, ”She probably thinks of me as her benefactor and savior, perhaps even her Mistress...”
Looking at Esvele's eyes that were covered with tears, Shirley knew that she had truly decided to commit suicide to buy her time to escape. A smile appeared on her face, an endearing smile that looked very caring towards the one it was directed at.
Esvele stood like this once before when they faced Schneider in the mini-realm, and that's why Shirley had shown no mercy and killed that vile creature, burning him to death with her true prowess. Among the disciples, there were only two who knew about her Fire Phoenix Flames, one of them was the person in front of her, and the other was Schneider.
However, how could a dead person say anything?
Her Fire Phoenix Flames didn't even leave Schneider's ashes as it made him disintegrate into thin air while his spatial ring was left behind in the mini-realm, except the spirit stones and a few other items because those weren't traceable.
'Still, it looks like both of them went through some difficulties to react this quickly to danger... This Esvele had even begun to inversely divert the flow of energy to self-destruct while she was carried away by Shirley while Shirley had practically broken what seems to be a spatial talisman...'
Davis knew that it took some time to self-destruct as he looked at the life-saving spatial talisman he held before he extended his hand.
Shirley moved her head towards the side as she saw him give the spatial talisman back to her. Her eyes couldn't help but tremble a bit as her heart constricted.
She reached out her hand as she stood up and took the life-saving spatial talisman. However, her hand brushed past his as she felt otherworldly, confirming that he was really here. There was a bit of warmth from that hand, causing her to shyly move her head as she returned her gaze to the unconscious Esvele.
”You came here to see me...?” Her crimson lips moved, her heart feeling overly expectant even though she knew the answer.
Why would Davis cross so many hurdles and dangers in the Burning Phoenix Ridge, bypassing many formations if it were not to see her?
Could it be that he had something important to attend to in the Burning Phoenix Ridge?
”Yes, I specifically came here to see you and also find Ellia.” Davis wryly smiled, ”She's not here, is she?”
Shirley's heart skipped a beat when she heard, but when Ellia was mentioned, she blinked and nodded.
”Sorry, I know where she is as I later found out, but I swore to not divulge information on most matters like her location and cultivation on her behest...”
”I see...”
