Chapter 1017: You Are Still Of Some Use

On one side, it was him, and on the other, it was the Earth Dragon Immortal.

The Earth Dragon Immortal could be considered Princess Isabella's benefactor, teacher, or even her master, not to mention that it is her Ruth Empire's foundational existence, becoming an equal or greater existence similar to the Ruth Empire's First Ancestor.

Considering the multitude of ties the Earth Dragon Immortal had with the Ruth Empire, there was no way she could easily curse the Earth Dragon Immortal. It wouldn't be even strange if they worshipped the Earth Dragon Immortal, but it seemed like it wasn't anything like that but still held in high respect.

Princess Isabella had probably shown deep and immense respect towards it when it indirectly told her that the Inheritance would be hers. He could understand the reason why the upright yet hypocritical Earth Dragon Immortal took such measures against him was to protect Princess Isabella from his claws.

Now that he thought like this, he found it quite funny that the Earth Dragon Immortal that bent its own rules to protect Princess Isabella from him was going to end up as his third wife in the near future.

He couldn't wait to see the expression on its face when it eventually learned of this fact!

"Davis, why is your expression strange?"

"Ahem!" Davis came out of his reverie, "What were you saying?"

Princess Isabella curled her lips, "Originally, I was against using the Sage Golden Strengthening Pill since my breakthrough to the Martial Master Stage was achieved through the usage of Golden Strengthening Pill. The Earth Dragon Immortal also advised me not to use it for my next major breakthrough because it would affect my foundation, not to mention my comprehension can be a bit lacking if forced, so I wanted to enter the Martial Sage Stage naturally which would take time."

"However, because you ended up gifting me the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar, I was able to easily break through to the Martial Sage Stage without any side effects, and now I can use the Sage Golden Strengthening Pill to increase my strength again!"

Princess Isabella's lips were wide in a smile.

"This way, even if Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim or Grand Elder Elise Alstreim or both comes for revenge, I would have the confidence to take down both of them at the same time!"

Davis smiled and stroked her head, "Then go seclude yourself soon. If they come, I might need your help."

Princess Isabella nodded her head as she felt his palm caress her. She stepped away from his embrace but strode forwards as she gave one last, everlasting kiss before she instantly disappeared from his gaze. She didn't literally disappear but used her abnormal speed to fly away.

Davis smiled in glee before his expression faded, replacing it with cold look.

The Earth Dragon Immortal slighted him time and time again. Of course, it denied him once at that time, but when he learned of these facts one by one, his grievance against it also grew bit by bit. However, Princess Isabella's flowery words did help him forgive the Earth Dragon Immortal, and besides, he didn't want to make it difficult for Princess Isabella.

'Whatever... Isabella belongs to me anyway...' He brushed it away.

Nevertheless, that wasn't reason for the change in his expression! It was because the so-called father of Immeth Alstreim had finally arrived!

======

Davis, in his Solitary Soul Avatar form, hovered in a room in a concealed state at the top floor of that inn before, waiting for the guest to arrive after the Alchemy Exchange had ended. Of course, Immeth Alstreim was also there in the same room, patiently waiting just like him as she sat in a lotus position.

She did not even cultivate but just waited without doing anything and had her eyes closed.

Davis did not pay any attention to her but was concentrating on his main body's conversation with Isabella. Their conversation was about to end when suddenly Immeth Alstreim's messaging talisman that she was holding in her palm suddenly lit up.

"I'm outside..."

Immeth Alstreim didn't say anything but reacted with a wave of her hand. The thick door towards the far front seemed to open in a grand manner, and the barrier that denied further entry disappeared.

Davis had to admit that this particular room's defensive formations were too powerful for even him to intrude. He was able to enter because he followed Immeth Alstreim the moment she entered the room. Otherwise, even if he could get inside, he would find it difficult to enter without alerting the other party.

Nevertheless, looking at the corridor, no one seemed to be present, but Davis sensed a vague fluctuation entering the room. It was utterly tiny, and even with his High-Level Supreme Soul Stage soul sense, he found it difficult to perceive it as if it was a candle flame that flickered in and out of existence.

Yes, he had broken through at the last seclusion, but he just hadn't had the time to reveal it. Hence, along with his breakthrough, the Solitary Soul Avatar had also risen by a level, entering the High-Level Supreme Soul Stage.

Immeth Alstreim didn't say anything but quickly closed the path to the room and reactivated the formation. She promptly stood up as her eyes glazed. It took a moment for her to step back and bow.

"Greetings, father!"

Even though there seemed to be nothing in front of her, Immeth Alstreim seemed to be convinced that her father was in front of her, and as if responding to her words, the space towards the front illusorily shook before a white-robed man suddenly manifested, his gaze coldly stretching towards Immeth Alstreim.

Davis became instantly flabbergasted as he recognized this person!

This person was none other than Elder Zeno Alstreim!

'Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's subordinate...' Davis recalled seeing this person both in the Grand Welcoming Hall and the Alchemy Exchange.

However, Elder Zeno Alstreim seemed to represent himself for the Alchemy Exchange and didn't say a word about his superior, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim.

'Was it due to the Aqua Flood Dragon's incident that Elder Zeno Alstreim remained low-key, or is this distancing himself so that he doesn't face the brunt of it?'

But he was still surprised.

Elder Zeno Alstreim was Immeth Alstreim's father? He didn't know about that!

Although both Elder Zeno Alstreim and Immeth Alstreim was on their list to kill, his mother hadn't told him that they were father and daughter when she explained about the relationship all of them had with each other.

Davis narrowed his eyes as he became suspicious.

'Could it be that Elder Zeno Alstreim is a... sugar daddy?'

While Davis felt a bit incredulous, Elder Zeno Alstreim nonchalantly nodded his head at Immeth Alstreim, "Explain..."

"Father, after I left the Alchemy Exchange, Weiss Alstreim assaulted me..." Immeth Alstreim took some time to explain to the best of her ability.

Elder Zeno Alstreim nonchalantly nodded before he narrowed his eyes and snorted. However, Immeth Alstreim involuntarily closed her legs and felt a chill up her spine as she shivered because she knew that she had just been scanned by her father's powerful soul sense.

"Good. You haven't lost your innocence yet. You are still of some use."

Immeth Alstreim relaxed her slightly tightened her fists as she forced a smile.

"Yes, father."
