Chapter 1718: Shes Serious? (1/2)
”Indeed,” Davis nodded to Ancestor Tirea Snow's question, ”The spirit holding my Natalya's hand is called Iesha, from the Sealed Lands of the Spirits.”
”What!?”
Many stood in shock, especially the Falling Snow Sect members, as they more or less knew about the Sealed Lands of the Spirits, unlike the Alstreim Family elders and youths.
Davis briefly introduced the Sealed Land of the Spirits and how it remained closed from time immemorial before he became silent.
”She is not a Nethersnow Spirit, right?” Tanya Frostblight asked.
”I'm certainly not a Nethersnow Spirit.”
Iesha's melodious voice echoed towards Tanya Frostblight, causing the latter to go wide-eyed. Not because of her speech but her undulations that began to surge at this moment.
The people who were already astonished became more shocked.
A Ninth Stage Spirit!?
How could one be present here!?
”She's a Frigid World Spirit, a princess of the Frigid World Spirit Empire, a hegemon like the Astral Light Sect.”
Davis couldn't help but proudly smile at Iesha.
Indeed, without him messing her cultivation session, Iesha would've stepped into the Spirit Ancestor Stage. In a mere three days, she had proven herself to be capable and talented, contrary to the hastiness her imperial father imposed upon her because apparently: rules were rules.
Nevertheless, he cast his gaze on Natalya and wondered how she fared these days.
To Natalya, being near Iesha seemed to have beneficial effects for her. The Frigid World Spirit was admittedly a spirit that focused on Ice and Yin Laws, making Davis admit that it was beneficial for them to stay together, and Natalya seemed to want to be with Iesha as well, both for him and her cultivation.
However, he also knew, no, he came to know another way to increase Natalya's cultivation after researching more about spirits.
Magical Beast had their cores, but in the same way, spirits had their cores called soul cores. However, not all spirits possessed soul cores. But, both Iesha and Pia Noel possessed one when he last checked. If it weren't for Iesha, Davis was almost tempted to take Pia Noel's soul core and use it on Natalya to improve her Soul Forging Cultivation.
This information also explained why there would be Soul Emperors in the Sealed Land of the Spirits instead of Law Rune Stage Powerhouses. When soul cores were present, it seemed like the rate of improvement in Soul Forging Cultivation was broadly increased.
Nonetheless, Davis couldn't understand something.
The true relationship between humans, magical beasts, and spirits, these three races.
Was it one of devouring each other for nourishment? Or... could it ever transcend that natural relationship and reach peace and harmony between the three races?
”Congratulations, Earth Dragon Queen Isabella and Fire Phoenix Princess Shirley. I have heard about you two from Natalya.”
Shirley raised her brows while the others also went wide-eyed, especially Bylai Zlatan and Zestria Domitian.
They were already in a stupor to hear that this Shirley saved the Emperor of Death from death, but now they instantly understood and connected the dots as they already knew about the Forsaken Phoenix Realm.
Shirley was the inheritor of the Fire Phoenix Immortal Inheritance!? If the Burning Phoenix Ridge learned about it, wouldn't they forget about all repercussions and have tried to attack the Emperor of Death and Shirley for betrayal?
They already knew about Shirley as she was the top disciple of the Burning Phoenix Ridge who created a Perfect Domain, closest to perfection. So they became rather confused.
'Unless...'
Bylai Zlatan's eyes shook.
The Burning Phoenix Ridge was allied with the Emperor of Death!
Davis noticed the two beauties' reaction before he smiled at everyone.
”Don't be surprised. Iesha is an imperial princess, so she knows how to behave in social situations. She isn't wild like we would have initially thought but refined and noble. Besides, spirits are just like magical beasts and humans, able to build civilizations if they wanted to.”
”.....”
”Woah!~”
”Who's the spirit behind you?”
”Do spirits make love?”
”What are you doing here?”
”How did you exit the barrier? Are the spirits up to something!?”
A resounding silence pervaded the atmosphere before clamor erupted as many people started bombarding Iesha with questions, causing her lips to twitch.
She started answering them one by one, communicating with many humans for the first time in her life. Before, she only saw them from a distance and wished that she could help human slaves, but if she went and aided them, she knew that she would instead kindle the jealousy of fellow spirits and bring harm to the human slaves rather than good.
Therefore, she didn't dare go near them.
Davis saw everyone become busy while Natalya dropped Iesha on the southern side before she flew towards him.
”Natalya, you...”
Shirley pouted while Natalya laughed.
”What's the problem? It is better if everyone knew that you're the inheritor of the Fire Phoenix Immortal so that they won't try to mess with you, even if Davis was absent, just like how they fear Isabella and Evelynn.”
Natalya flicked her black hair as she smirked at Shirley. She then bent down and planted a kiss on Davis's cheeks.
”I missed you~”
Davis caressed Natalya's fair cheek as he smiled.
”Thanks for taking care of Iesha.”
”Heh, I obtained some benefits for my cultivation. I'll tell you later.”
Natalya smiled as she looked around and saw that a person was missing.
”Where's Tina? Oh, your siblings are also missing?”
