Davis released a sigh and asked, "Isabella, how far are you from reaching the Eighth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation, Martial Sage Stage? I want a detailed answer."Princess Isabella's expression faded before she gave a solemn look at him. He told perhaps, only a single one of his secrets, and there could be rather many that she might find unpleasant in the future. Despite feeling and understanding all of this, she still wanted to try placing her faith in him.A pondering look appeared on her face before she spoke a few seconds later, "If I actively cultivated, perhaps one and a half or two years, or if I waited for you, my body is still being nourished by the Earth Dragon Immortal's Blood Essence, hence for the latter, after five years, I imagine that it would just take me a single year of seclusion to breakthrough into the Eighth Stage."Davis presented a firm nod. She had already calculated her cultivation progress when she decided to wait for him. That meant that she was at least willing to trust him despite the anomaly she noticed about him.Becoming his third wife while letting go of her pride while also willing to sacrifice for him?Honestly, he didn't know what about him that made her do dare to wait for him... They didn't go through many struggles, nor did they place each other lives on the line and struggled out of a life and death situation.Princess Isabella's trust for him was something he could not comprehend.'Does love need logic?' Davis mused, and the answer he arrived at is...No!Love placed upon logic was merely an anchor. When the love that is based upon logic disappears when the person in a relationship acts differently, that person who is loved would merely become another character, perhaps, a special acquaintance.

However, that didn't mean love that is not based on logic is true love as well. Instead, it is even more fickle than love based on logic.Davis shook his head, unable to understand these intricacies. He looked at Princess Isabella's expression with his sapphire eyes, noticing that she was also looking back at him with a confused expression on her face.Obviously, she was waiting for his reply to the question and felt confused about why he would ask about her cultivation progress.Davis waved his arm as his sleeve revealed his hand before a canteen appeared on that hand.If she was willing to trust, then why wouldn't he reciprocate? The reason he initially came here was to give this to her, after all."What is this?" Princess Isabella asked.Davis provided a short yet concise explanation about the nectar he obtained and its origin before saying, "Use this to enter the Eighth Stage, and once you breakthrough, you can leave. Go clear the Immortal Grade Trial."Looking at her still possess a stunned expression on her face, he gently smiled and held her cheeks before he planted a kiss on her forehead. He then separated from her and kept the canteen on her palm and made her hold it tight.Without an additional word, he turned back and walked away.However... A delicate and soft hand abruptly grasped him! Follow current on novel-online.com
"Wait? What is this meaning of this?" David glanced at Princess Isabella without turning his body, "A token of trust...""As I said before, I'm willing to wait for you, my Isabella."Two tears abruptly welled over Princess Isabella's eyes for some reason. She looked at him incredulously, wondering why he would do something like this, and hearing his answer; she was perfectly aware that such tactics were used by men to hoodwink women.But the moment she heard his words, it made her heart experience a tremble like never before. She wiped away her tears before it could fall and turned her head as she walked away towards her room; however, Davis became speechless as he was dragged away by her.Princess Isabella had not taken her grasp away from his wrist but instead dragged him with her. Once they reached her room, and she turned around and looked at him with a grievance in her eyes as she bit her lip, "Guard me then..."She let go of his hand and flew towards the bed as she sat cross-legged as she faced him. She gave him a profound look and raised her hand as she looked at the canteen she held as her brows furrowed.She hesitated only for a moment before lifting it up and pouring the nectar into her mouth!Davis's expression changed.At this time of doubt and suspicion in regards to his origin, this nectar was as good as poison. The fact that she dared to swallow this like a parched person meant that she was willing to take a leap of faith in trusting him! Follow current on storynovel.net
It was as if she either wanted to end it all here or follow him all the way...Her actions were utterly foolish yet decisive!Davis watched her completely drink the nectar before storing the canteen in her spatial ring. Her eyes were closed, and she quickly propped herself straight, possessing an extremely calm look on her face.In a few minutes, her martial energy abruptly surged like a whirlwind! The intensity people caused the legs of the bed to be completely destroyed and the surrounding walls to intensely shake as if it were affected by am earthquake.Her martial energy abruptly became dull before lines and patterns illuminated her skin, akin to a magical beast's body.'Inscribing the body tempering laws that one comprehended on the body, tendons, veins, meridians, and bones... A symbol of entering the Martial Sage Stage...' Davis narrowed his brows as he saw the change take place his own eyes.After the laws have been inscribed and melded into her body, it will disappear, but the changes it brought by tempering her body will make her enter the Martial Sage Stage!Tempering body with one's own comprehended laws! A stage that is befitting of the name, sage!Davis looked at her with a solemn expression, hoping she can succeed. The nectar had given her enough energy to manifest the laws that she had comprehended and also enabled her to concentrate easily due to less pain.The nectar is a great help, but at the end of the day, the rise in strength that she could realize and achieve by breaking through to the Martial Sage Stage solely lies within the quality of the laws she comprehended and the quality of the laws she inscribed within her body.For example, even if Davis and Princess Isabella were at the same comprehension level in Earth Laws, the quality of the laws they comprehended might possess the difference between heaven and earth! At the same time, the part where they inscribe their body with the laws they comprehended could have enormous differences as well, after all, the stronger laws they condense and inscribe on the body, the higher the chances that the laws were bound to fail to assimilate within the body!But in this case, since the laws Davis and Princess Isabella comprehended were due to the Earth Dragon Immortal's Blood Essence, they were bound to possess similarities, making them somewhat equal in quality!
