"Holy shit!? Two Ninth Stage Powerhouses?"At the same time, the Solitary Soul Avatar, who sat in a particular room in Drake's Abode, had his eyes shot wide open as he stood up in shock. His expression became solemn for a few moments before he relaxed.He knew what the main body saw, heard, and knew, with only a bit of delay as there was a wide distancing separating them. That's why he had previously known that it was sacrificing the main body's soul essence caused the main body to faint.*Knock~*Davis abruptly heard a knock on the door as he jerked. He was concentrating on the other side, so he instinctively thought it was those Ninth Stage Powerhouses who just knocked just now.*Knock~*A few moments passed as a knock echoed again.Davis relaxed and walked towards the door before he waved it open. A beautiful veiled figure stood before him while being draped in exquisite Dual Lotus Abode's core disciple blue robes."Miss Jade, you're back so soon? It's been about seven hours since you left, but I recall that I gave you a day or so...?"Davis became confused.Why was Jade Sua back so early? It couldn't be that she broke through to the Martial Sage Stage, finished a mission, and collected the Forsaken Yin Lotus before appearing here in just these few hours, could it?He imperceptibly frowned, 'It couldn't be that she wants to back out of this deal, right?'He couldn't think of any reason that she would do so unless she was a god-like deceiver. He knew he had a good eye for perceiving people's character but forgetting that fact, almost nothing could deceive his Heart Intent as long as they weren't higher in Soul Forging Cultivation than him. He felt that Jade Sua wasn't such a character.Jade Sua raised both of her hands, and a jade container appeared on her palm out of thin air.Davis's eyes went wide, "Is this...?""Yes. You showed me sincerity, and it is only right that I reciprocate." Follow current on novelenglish.net
Davis glanced at her smiling eyes before he returned his gaze to the jade container. He took it and saw it was embedded with numerous patterns that seemingly sealed whatever remained inside, serving a lot of purposes like not letting its energy or harmful effects leak.Davis gulped as he opened the jade container, telling himself that it better be the Forsaken Yin Lotus and not some phony poison. The moment the lid came off, an icy sensation quickly spread to his fingers, but it was unable to freeze him.Davis stopped for a moment as he mused, 'Damn, this icy energy is capable of freezing Fourth Stage Experts to death the moment they came into contact with its icy energy without a doubt...'The Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual was not a requirement at the early stages. That's why Natalya could cultivate in it without a problem. Well, it was only until the Law Dominion Stage at best.He fully opened the jade container and saw an icy white and sapphire petaled lotus that seemed to be hovering inside the jade container. It appeared to entrancing and made the atmosphere chill, but both he and Jade Sua remained unaffected. He saw that it had no Will, or perhaps its Will had already been eradicated.He didn't bother anymore and closed the jade container before looking at Jade Sua, "Thanks, much appreciated.""Fortunately, I found a comparatively easy mission that required me to kill a Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast that was terrorizing the local populace to the north-west." Jade Sua smiled, "It took me some time to search for it, but I was able to make it stop terrorizing the towns by ending its life within two hours."Davis narrowed his eyes. He didn't look closely at first, but now that he took another look, he saw that her forehead bore a bit of moist, while her clothes seemed roughened up a bit. He instantly mused that as soon as she killed that magical beast, she returned and got the Forsaken Yin Lotus for him, to keep her word and protect her reputation.'This woman is really playing life at the hardcore difficulty level...'But it made sense, considering that she could remain a virgin for so many years."So you didn't enter the Martial Sage Stage yet..." Davis pursed his lips, "Makes sense considering that there is no spill of martial energy from your mid dantian. Your foundation is still stable.""Yes, I am now on my way to seclude myself for a hopeful endeavor. Therefore, I hope the resource we traded me would help me achieve what I failed to reach for over fifty years. I am grateful to you and the Dragon Queen for this transaction. Please relay my humble words to her esteemed self."Davis chuckled on hearing her polite words, "Sure!""However, remember to not leak a single word about my background, nor the nectar. I'm saying this for your own good, as well as for Drake's safety.""Don't worry, I won't." Jade Sua's voice became solemn, "Moreover, we already swore in front of you."Davis smiled, but he didn't say anything. Swearing wasn't much of a bind at higher stages unless their way of life depended on the reason. This became apparent after his soul forging cultivation grew by a large margin. Soon, even Old Man Garvin's Blood Soul Contract would lose its bind on him. He could feel it as he grew stronger.At this moment, Drake appeared by the end of the hallway.

Davis waved his hand, and all the things he kept within the hall ended up in his spatial ring."Alright, I'm leaving as my work is done here.""You are!?" Drake appeared taken aback before his eyes shone, "I see. Well then, we'll see you next time." "Maybe..." Davis shrugged as he walked towards him, "Perhaps you'll be all at the Dual Lotus Manor by that time, possibly together with..."He shot a smiling glance at Jade Sua, but he saw her eyes swiftly avoid them before he arrived before Drake and patted his shoulders twice. He left the hallway as he left them standing there, letting them enjoy the awkward atmosphere he had purposefully created while he inwardly snickered.Once he came out, he mused Drake would be sweating buckets in nervousness. However, never did he know that this purposeful prank of his playfulness lit a spark to their relationship. Nevertheless, by that time, he had already exited the Dual Lotus Abode and went far away amidst the gazes of the watchful guards.However, that was a ruse. He hid in a nearby mountain region that had a particular name."Oh well. I waited for that shit over a month, but it seems like he's still enjoying a debaucherous king's life in his abode. It's time to drag him out!"Davis sat on a mountain peak as he waited.An hour, two, four... eight hours passed. During this time, he wasn't hasty and instead concentrated on digesting the remaining content he learned in Passion Library. There was just too much to ponder on, not to mention that each concept and topic invoked the 'man of culture' in him.At this moment, a flying boat seemed to be passing by here. On it, a red-robed man with two women by his side became visible to Davis's eyes. They possessed haughty looks in their eyes, seemingly looking down on everything they passed by as the flying boat flew through the air.There was a town nearby, so Davis could understand their haughtiness as he mused that they had just met some plebeians. Nevertheless, he raised his hand and waved.The three of them caught sight of them as they seemed to be taken aback. The man then scornfully looked at Davis before he looked elsewhere. However, a voice fell on his ears."Maurn Cunt! Obediently give me your entire wealth like the greedy whore you are..."Maurn Clint's anger shot up as his essence energy flared, but it suddenly died down before he moved the flying boat towards Davis's direction. However..."Do you want to die!? How dare you!?""Nameless cultivator, I won't bother asking your name for this sin you just committed is heavier than your life. You must die!"

Both the cyan-robed women, who seemed to be like inner disciples, took out two shining silver daggers in each of their hands as they pointed at him. They appeared to be unaware of Maurn Clint's strange state as they turned hostile towards Davis.Davis's eyes flashed red in an apathetic manner before his lips moved, "As for you two, once Maurn Clint leaves, go poison the women who betrayed their partner to be with him to death before killing yourselves."The two women's eyes became dull before they kept their swords back in, their knees hitting the surface of the deck."As you command, master..."The flying boat arrived near Davis, and Maurn Clint bowed as he presented his spatial ring to Davis in a submissive manner. Davis felt that this reality was out of place, but it couldn't be any more real, any easier.He swiped the spatial ring from Maurn Clint's hand and bound it to himself before removing all tracking objects as he threw it on the flying boat."Store them all. Go find a King Beast Stage Magical Beast towards the south and attack its butthole. After that, you must do nothing but watch it smash your body apart to smithereens, understand?""Yes, master..." Maurn Clint dully replied before his hand jerked while the treasures nearby all ended up in his secondary spatial ring."Good, all of you leave to do as instructed!""Yes..."They dully replied before Maurn Clint left in the flying boat he stood on while the two beauties flew back to the direction they came from, towards the North West Dual Lotus Abode.Davis watched them leave for a few minutes as their silhouettes finally disappeared from his eyes. He blinked, feeling a bit distanced from reality even though he experienced this feeling many times.'Fallen Heaven almost makes everything below my cultivation base a trivial matter...'He shook his head and left.Davis saw the spatial ring before he felt that he had already wasted enough time. He decided to look at its content later since he was already delayed by a month. In any case, he ordered Maurn Clint through Fallen Heaven to put every single one of his valuables in his spatial ring.He headed east, making his way towards the far end of this Territory before he arrived at the Territory Gate after some time, seemingly looking at it in glee.'Burning Phoenix Ridge...'His eyes shone with anticipation as he took a step forward that looked utterly momentous!"Here I come, Shir-"Davis's eyes suddenly went wide while his entire body froze. He jerked out of his reverie as his expression twisted.The connection he had with the main body was abruptly severed!
