Chapter 1333: Not You Too~ (1/2)
Davis looked at Shirley's Essence Gathering Cultivation that became considerably apparent to him. While Shirley was in the High-Level Law Dominion Stage, Esvele seemed to be at the Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage.
This kind of growth was rather rapid for their ages which were probably below a hundred, and he could see that Esvele received many benefits from Shirley to enter the Peak-Level of Law Dominion Stage. He could see that her cultivation was a bit unstable. Moreover, inside her, there was a flame essence that he could sense at the Peak-Level King Grade, probably the Burning Phoenix Flame that all of the core disciples possessed.
He didn't know what kind of improvement Esvele made in all these years, but he could see that she was putting in a lot of effort to keep up with Shirley. Surely, with her cultivation and the beast flame essence, she could match top disciples with Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivation.
Perhaps, she was going to prove herself in the upcoming competition to become a genuine top disciple!
”Esvele, if you don't mind me asking, what's your age?”
Shirley narrowed her eyes while Esvele blinked in confusion before she answered.
”Eighty-seven...”
”Oh, eighty-seven? That's rather great for reaching this level of cultivation base...”
Davis nodded, but he could understand that only with Shirley's help was Esvele able to reach this cultivation base. As long as there are resources and they were not absolute trash or reached their potential limit, which requires further resources to break the bottleneck, cultivators would undoubtedly improve.
”Right, she came from a rather desolate place in this territory known as the Yelan Town. She diligently cultivated and made it here, becoming a core disciple before I snatched her for myself.” Shirley giggled.
Davis blinked.
With that devilish body, how did Esvele manage to make it here? He felt that it was a miracle until he asked Shirley with a soul transmission that Esvele was the Yelan Town Lord's daughter while the Yelan Town Lord was a Low-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivator. This made him understand that Esvele was like a princess in that Yelan Town and managed to stay clear of miscreants until her journey to this place.
Now that her background was clear, his cautiousness towards the dangers she could unwittingly bring had also finally dropped.
”Esvele, have your family abandon the Yelan Town and-”
”I already told her to do that...” Shirley interjected.
”Oh...” Davis smiled in satisfaction, ”That's good... With this, the coast is clear for me to make a move. All I request of you two is to believe me in what I do.”
Both Shirley and Esvele nodded their heads, but the former's lips moved.
”I will, but I have a better plan, Davis.”
”Sure, let me hear it then...” Davis's eyes flashed in interest.
Shirley began sharing her plan as Davis interjected with his opinions while Esvele simply heard, blinking and fidgeting around as she felt a bit funny.
”...”
”....”
”...”
Davis blinked, ”Are you sure? Your plan is even more passive than mine...”
Shirley smiled oddly, ”Of course. This is the best, most efficient way to kill them as we use the Burning Phoenix Ridge's rules to our advantage. I can claim self-defense while you can escape unscathed.”
Davis smiled as he shook his head, his lips slightly moving to mutter, ”We'll see...”
”I'll follow your plan as I don't want to disturb your cultivation here, but I also want you to give the reins to me in case the situation goes south. Is that agreeable?” Davis asked.
Shirley heavily nodded her head, ”Just do what you want, but don't forget to inform me so that I can adjust and play along.”
She took out a messaging talisman from her spatial ring, handing it over to Davis.
”Here, this Low-Level Emperor Grade Messaging Talisman can help us communicate even from six small-sized Territories away if needed.”
Davis happily took it before he handed a spatial ring to Shirley.
”Here, there are a hundred thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stones in here.”
”What!? This amount is even more valuable than what I gave! I can't take it...”
Shirley shook her head while Davis frowned.
”Are you trying to be the provider here? You must take it just as I took those resources from you. Otherwise, I'll re-”
”Fine!” Shirley raised her hand as she stopped him, ”I'll take it.”
She snatched the spatial ring from him and stored it in her spatial ring without checking, a silly smile appearing on her face.
”Thanks~ You have enough for yourself, right?”
”Yes, I have...”
Davis smiled as he imagined Grand Elder Valdrey crying in his stead. He was wealthy, but the wealth was all free, not really useful to him as he had the resources he needed, especially when Shirley had given him some already,
