Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 971: Rude Stares

Princess Isabella responded back through soul transmission, "My subordinate could only reveal his Elder Soul Stage Cultivation. You think he could possibly defeat those younger generation alchemy experts who have probably pill'ed[1] their way through to the Law Manifestation Stage Cultivation?"Davis's expression became amused, "Even with his Soul Forging Cultivation suppressed, you seriously think that those people who relied on resources to increase their probability to concoct higher-tiered pills can possibly compete against him and win?""Who knows? I can't possibly tell unless I see the results with my own two eyes..." Princess Isabella cast a teasing smile as she winked.Davis rolled his eyes and stopped arguing with her anymore. He knew that she was provoking him, but he didn't know why.For fun? It seemed more like it.'Seems like I should promote Isabella to wife from a girlfriend, or she would end up spending all my wealth within a few weeks in the Alstreim Family...' He inwardly laughed as he cocked his head, 'Well, I'll just treat this as if I'm going out on a date with Isabella...'Nonetheless, he wasn't worried about a bit of nectar being lost, and it was something that he could easily win back if he displayed his complete prowess. He just jokingly mused that it was just a little price to pay for a date.The three of them traveled towards the northern part of the city and arrived at a bustling plaza. That plaza was packed with people, mostly from the younger generation who came to see the Alchemy Exchange. They possessed fanatical expressions on their faces and held signposts that cheered for their favorite candidate. Follow current on novelenglish.net

They entered a huge building that was structured like a dome. Since the whole building was crowded with people, it would've been difficult for them to walk with many people obstructing their view. However, with Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim leading the way, they were unimpeded!They reached a large hall that hosted numerous people who wore alchemist robes. They roamed the hall and mingled with each other, forming groups that formed a consensus with their peers. Poking fun, intentionally provoking, acting with humility. All kinds of people, alchemists, and experts in other occupations alike could be seen conversing with each other.However, they all became stiff as they noticed a special guest walk into their fortress. Their bodies became constricted with pressure, and they subconsciously straightened their poses in a bid to leave a good impression on the person they looked up to and desired.It was the case, especially with the juniors."Ho! It's the Conferred Queen! The Conferred Queen is here!""Idiot! It's the Dragon Queen! The Conferred Queen is a lowly title given by the lowly Ethren Empire!"The person who blurted out first closed his mouth and silently left the hall from receiving the glares of his peers. It was of little doubt that he would come to regret what he did in this day, thinking of what a supreme being like the Conferred Queen would've thought of him.Nothing... He didn't know that it was nothing. Follow current on novel-online.com

Princess Isabella walked in with an undisputed momentum and rose towards the platform along with Grand Elder Lloyd and Davis following behind her. Davis could never stand beside her in a public platform as that would invite suspicion and displeasure from the people who revered the Dragon Queen as their goal in cultivation.However, even without standing by Princess Isabella's side, he still got looks of jealously and envy cast at him. If he wasn't Princess Isabella's subordinate, perhaps there would be many death threats falling in his mind through soul transmission.A purple-robed alchemist of the younger generation suddenly walked towards them with abnormal confidence etched on his face. However, it also looked as if he was in an absent-minded state from being bewitched by the Dragon Queen's contrast between beauty and power.Davis cast a glance at him and purposefully smirked while flying a little closer to Princess Isabella. He raised his hand and was about to slap Princess Isabella's butt amidst the entire gaze of the crowd!Many jaws dropped as their eyes widened in shock! The man who possessed a wistful look when he approached the Dragon Queen came to an abrupt stop as his eyes widened into two big circles.However, Davis took that naughty hand of his towards his head and ran it through his blonde hair as he cocked his head, condescendingly looking down on him and all the people who thought they had a chance of nearing Princess Isabella."You...!"Veins erupted over a few people's foreheads as they clenched their fists. Their humiliating expressions were a sight to see. That purple-robed alchemist pulled up his sleeves and walked forwards with visible anger threatening to explode in trying to teach Davis a lesson, but a person who seemed to be closer to him quickly caught him and made him calm down.The look on his face when the person calmed down was mortified, to say the least. It was as if he felt his own woman, no, his goddess was taken away from him. Perhaps, reality hit him hard, but he lowered his head before an ominous glint flashed past his eyes.

Davis had already followed Princess Isabella over the platform, where the dignitaries were seated. It was not that he did not see the people who were casting hostile glances at him, but he completely ignored them as there were many ill intents mixed in the crowd. He didn't bother to remember all their faces other than a select few who went overboard with their reactions on seeing a stunning beauty.'Hmph, those retards think that they can ogle at my Isabella... This should teach them that she is mine already...' Davis's eyes flashed with a possessive glint.Princess Isabella turned her head and shot a look at him, her lips moving without making a sound, "Thank you."Davis just lightly smiled.The men who witnessed this became further angered, but it also helped a few realize their mistake. Once they realized their mesmerized actions, they bowed their heads, possessing a fearful attitude and a fragile mindset that became frail from the possible future that the Conferred Queen might destroy their lives for their rudeness.The platform of dignitaries included the Elders and a few Grand Elders. They all stood up to greed as they echoed 'Dragon Queen~', and displayed way over the top amicable attitude that would usually display to their Ancestor. They were completely favorable to her and even readied an upper seat that towered above all of them.Davis inwardly nodded his head.'Truly, the higher-ups understand how to treat their savior, the benefactor of the Alstreim Family rather than these brats who only knows how to be a show-off and disgrace...'He cast a look around and found that he knew all the Grand Elders by name as they had introduced themselves in the Grand Welcoming Hall, and as for the Elders, he knew only a single one of them. Furthermore, he possessed neither a bad nor a good impression of this Elder, but he did become a bit wary as this Elder was clearly a close subordinate of Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim.At that time in the Grand Welcoming Hall, this Elder clearly behaved as if he was air, not bothering anyone.While the people below were silent, looking at their elders speak to the Dragon Queen, the Elders were introducing themselves one by one while Dragon Queen politely gave a slight nod in acknowledgment to each introduction.When it was finally that person's turn, Davis squinted his eyes as he attentively watched and listened.[1] Pill'ed, meant heavy usage of pills to increase cultivation, also denoting that those who used this method have their foundations weaker.
