Chapter 2097: An Invader?
Did the attacker actually target at the right moment where he and his avatar had left?
If so…
Davis's eyes shook before he quickly denied it.
'No, it shouldn't be possible… there's no way someone could've entered this place without getting found out by Nadia and Evelynn's senses unless… they were like Myria and I… but was there still someone like that?'
Davis's expression kept changing, rapidly thinking if he had missed anything. The most probable culprit he could think of was Adlet Rayburn, but even such a genius would find it impossible to maneuver in the Grand Alstreim City.
'Wait a minute...'
Suddenly, Davis became doubtful, looking at the location of the explosion that occurred. He looked around, noticing that Evelynn and Nadia didn't appear, still at their location when being scanned by his soul sense. They didn't react at all, as if they didn't hear the explosion. Moreover, the only one who wasn't in his soul sense was a certain person who was close to breaking through to the Law Rune Stage, causing him to heave a sigh of relief.
The next moment, space began to stitch back, and he started to sense ice energy perforate the air around the broken area of the Purple Guest Palace as he watched the silhouette of a familiar figure.
'What a false alarm...' Davis's brows twitched.
He had just been thinking how absolute might put people in their places as long as he didn't go willfully offending them, so it was a shock for him to see a part of the Purple Guest Palace suddenly explode. Turns out that it couldn't withstand the breakthrough undulations caused by one of his wives.
A dazzling dark blue-robe figure flew out of the ruins, looking around before catching sight of him, her expression becoming awkward before she stuck out her tongue, appearing playful before she appeared before him, grabbing his hands.
"I'm sorry. I didn't expect to-"
"Natalya…" Davis was full of smiles, "Congratulations on entering the Law Rune Stage."
"…" Natalya looked at his expression with adorable eyes before her crimson lips moved, "You're not angry?"
"Why would I?" Davis chuckled before he looked at the Purple Guest Palace, "Looks like I can't use this palace to host you anymore. It doesn't fit your transcendental status, Yin Lotus Fairy."
"Ahh~"
Natalya blushed as her voice sounded meek, "You're kidding..."
"Again, why would I?" Davis smilingly shook his head, reaching out his hand to pet Natalya's head, "You successfully created a Supreme Immortal Rune. If I still kept you here, that would be not treating your right."
Natalya's gaze shook before she resplendently smiled.
"If it's with you, I can even stay in a worn-down hut."
"Haha. That hut probably won't be able to endure your icy undulations, becoming frozen and shattered in an instant."
"Mhmmm~"
Natalya pouted. However, Davis captured that potty lips and plastered a hot kiss, almost melting the icy aura that was flowing around her.
Back then, Davis and Natalya had talked about how she could rely on him to create an Imposing Rune, but with their ambitions soaring and Myria's knowledge he made sure to use, he concocted a pill called the Hopeful Frozen Diamond Pill through his avatar and Tyriele and gave it to Natalya for her peruse.
The Hopeful Frozen Diamond Pill was a treasure that shone in a lustrous cerulean glow while possessing a crystalline sheen, making it look like a spherical diamond with rough ends. It bestowed immense ice and yin energy to the consumer but also provided a relative increase to Yin Laws and Ice Laws. After two tries, Davis made a Perfect-Tier Hopeful Frozen Diamond Pill, so Natalya, who had already comprehended Level Three Intent of Ice Laws and Yin Laws after a few months, took the pill and successfully comprehended Level Four Intent of Ice Laws and Yin Laws upon breaking through and with the overflowing ice and yin energy, manifested two Supreme Immortal Runes!
Davis and Natalya's lips separated before the latter looked at him with guilt, "Forgive me. Although I managed to manifest two Supreme Immortal Runes, Iesha fainted. She gave it her all to help me, even sacrificing her spirit essence."
"What?"
Davis's expression changed before he hurriedly brought Natalya into the Purple Guest Palace, entering another room.
"Quick! Lay Iesha down."
He pointed at the bed while Natalya quickly responded, summoning her out forcefully before an icy-blue-skinned woman with an icy crown on her head appeared above the bed, sleeping like a princess. She was breathing normally, having just fainted.
"I see."
With just a single look, Davis confirmed her status and relaxed. Natalya didn't seem surprised at his statement because she also knew how Iesha fainted. It was not fatal.
Iesha had just used all her energy and fainted. The sacrifice of her spirit essence wasn't the cause but merely a catalyst for her to faint from exhaustion.
However, Natalya seemed guilty as she had her head lowered.
"This wouldn't have happened if I was more-"
"It's not your fault. Just consider it an injury from cultivation. On the other hand, you must also help Iesha grow stronger. You have already overtaken her in prowess, after all."
"Yes! I'll do everything in my power to help her!"
Natalya screamed as she struck her bosoms, appearing determined. In truth, she was deeply grateful to Iesha for her unending support. She originally didn't want to create another Supreme Immortal Rune, specifically for Yin Laws, since she lacked the necessary energy, but Iesha constantly told her not to give up and that she had an idea, so she discarded her plan to congeal the second Supreme Immortal Rune later and decided to try it, but it was unexpected that Iesha would go so far for her.
Natalya felt moved, but she hadn't done much for Iesha, and that's why she felt guilty.
Meanwhile, Davis felt that it was partly his fault that Iesha had to sacrifice her spirit essence to help Natalya. After all, if he had given Natalya an Ascended-Tier Hopeful Frozen Diamond Pill, Iesha wouldn't have needed to make that kind of sacrificial move.
Considering that he created a Perfect-Tier Hopeful Frozen Diamond Pill using his avatar, it shouldn't have cost him much in time and karmic nature usage, considering that it was only a single level increase to Ascended-Tier. However, he busied himself with Shirley and Isabella at that time, focusing on spoiling them because they were pregnant while taking care of his own cultivation.
'If only I had been more concerned...'
Davis inwardly sighed as he healed Iesha with Fallen Heaven's life energy. It did wonders as it quickly restored her spirit essence to ninety-eight percent. While he was healing Iesha, Evelynn and Ellia were around, having already gathered here because they noticed Davis's worried movements before hearing from Natalya about what had happened.
"Then," Evelynn spoke in her normal voice, which sounded sexy as it began, "We can use my palace that I recently gained from clearing the Emperor Grade Trial of the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Immortal Inheritance. According to that immortal, it's practically impenetrable by anyone below immortal level, so it should be even able to take damage from us and stay unharmed."
"Perfect. That would do." Davis nodded, thinking that it was not appropriate to live in a tomb even though it would be able to host them without a problem.
"As for the Spirit Stone Vein Sources, I'll provide-"
"No need. I'm rich~" Evelynn raised her hand and flicked her purplish-green hair in a pompous style, causing Davis to chuckle.
"Keep it with you. You could not be richer than me-"
"Even after powering up the Mortal Hex Emperor Purple Palace, I'll still have a thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources left."
Davis and Natalya's pupils dilated on hearing Evelynn interrupt him, while Ellia also looked astonished.
Evelynn did say that she got rich in a teasing tone shortly after she cleared the trial. At that time, Davis assumed that she obtained five hundred Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources or so, even if it was an Emperor-Tier Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Immortal Inheritance. Moreover, she had just cleared the Emperor Grade Trial, so how fruitful could it be?
However, he didn't expect the immortal inheritance to be loaded with riches, allowing Evelynn to possess two thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources for just clearing the Emperor Grade Trial.
Her smugness was a sight to die for, but Davis couldn't help but think why there would be such an increase in the rewards.
'Could it be that a King-Tier and Emperor-Tier Immortal Inheritances are allowed to bestow more rewards… More than that… would the powers be willing to forsake such powerful individuals?'
Davis contemplated for a brief moment and arrived at the answer that it was not possible unless they were desperate like the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnids, who were rumored to be on the verge of extinction.
Coming out of his reverie, Davis couldn't help but savor Evelynn's smug face. His lips then curved into a teasing smile.
"Evelynn, now you're literally the master of the house. How do you feel about it as the first wife?"
"Uh-?"
Evelynn's expression went from one of smugness into uncontrollable shyness. Her adorable expression instantly caught Davis in a trance while Natalya secretly grinned, quickly adopting a pitiful expression.
"Hex Demoness, please let off this pitiful concubine~ This lowly being knows her wrongs of seducing the Emperor of Death~~~ Wuwu~"
"You-"
"Ahahaha~"
Evelynn blushed heavily as she pointed at Natalya, who was acting like she was crying, causing Davis and Ellia to laugh heartily.
