Chapter 1279: The Stirlanders

Evelynn couldn't help but giggle at Natalya's thoughts while she shook her head, feeling the same as Davis.

She knew that he would not leave them under any circumstance, but she also knew that he would kill them without a doubt if they were to betray him. However, that was so common in the cultivation world that she didn't even bat an eye when he said he would kill her if she betrayed him in the past.

It was almost a given.

"What about your Body Tempering Cultivation?" Evelynn asked in curiosity.

"Oh, that..." Natalya vaguely smiled, "I remained at the same stage since I had to stabilize my Body Tempering Cultivation Base. In this case, the Bone-Chilling Ganoderma Tree Sap and the diluted yin essence were extremely helpful in remolding and tempering my meridians to suit yin and ice energy. I was afraid that the diluted blood essence of the Earth Dragon Immortal might affect me, so I didn't dare to breakthrough before consolidating my cultivation to suit my Yin and Ice Laws." 

"Excellent, that's a meticulous decision!" Davis nodded his head in approval.

Natalya was already in the Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage, at the peak of the Sixth Stage due to absorbing the diluted blood essences of the Earth Dragon Immortal with Isabella's help. It could be said that she was plenty powerful in Body Tempering Cultivation, so her patience could be said to be gold.

He thought that she was hastening her cultivation, but it looks like she had a sane mind. 

Natalya seemed to be enjoying the praises and attention as she cupped her cheeks, "As for my Soul Forging Cultivation, I've reached Peak-Level Infant Soul Stage, still an entire stage below big sister."

"Don't worry. I just have the 'remedy' for it... Hehe..." Davis couldn't help but lewdly look at Natalya while Evelynn instantly blushed as she knew that he was talking about that strange manual the Solitary Soul Avatar additionally gave her on top of the Yin-Yang Merit Sutra.

Perhaps, the upcoming days would be filled with so much debauchery that Evelynn's face couldn't help but become redder by the second before Natalya finally noticed but couldn't understand the intricacies as the thought of dual cultivation for the soul didn't even cross her mind.

She possessed a confused expression, but another thought emerged in her mind as she looked at Evelynn.

"Big sister, between the two of us, who do you think is the strongest?" Natalya's expression glowed.

"Of course, it's me..." Evelynn replied with confidence.

After all, she was at the Seventh Stage, Mid-Level Martial Master Stage, in addition to the domineering prowess granted by the Earth Dragon Immortal's Blood Essence. It could probably make her cross two or three levels, so it was unlikely that Natalya could match her prowess.

"I agree..." Surprisingly, Natalya didn't seem to be taken aback but smiled even more, "But what if only our Essence Gathering Cultivation is considered?"

"What do you think?" Evelynn raised her brows as she smiled, returning the question.

However, Natalya seemed glad to reply.

"I think you're at a disadvantage, big sister. Our Essence Gathering Cultivation might be the same, but I have the advantage of comprehending two laws over one. Besides, the techniques I have learned from the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual and the Falling Snow Sect is probably far superior to your King-Grade Poison-Attributed Cultivation Manual, so it is inevitable that I would win~"

A proud expression appeared on Natalya's face.

"Oh~? Now you've said it..." A seductive smile appeared on Evelynn's face as she felt provoked, "I'm truly interested to see whether if my poison arts can compare to the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual's techniques..."

They looked at each other, their black eyes burning with a passion for a battle to know who's the current strongest. 

*PahhH!~*

"Eeck!!!~~~"

Two erotic sounds overlapped as Davis slapped their butts with his palms before he grabbed and pulled them towards him before he embraced them in his two arms. He felt his fingers sink into their bouncy flesh, making the two of them aware that he openly took advantage of them.

Evelynn and Natalya let out an embarrassing squeal before they stared at Davis as their faces blushed red in response to the erotic sound and touch. They saw his sleazy smile before it happened to turn earnest.

"Beauties, you can battle it out to know who's the strongest later. I am not against it, as healthy rivalry is encouraged. However, there are more important things to attend to. Now, since Sophie is cultivating, I'd like to see Fiora and know about her thoughts about me. She... Your family is already here, right?" Davis asked as he looked at Natalya.

Natalya's blush faded before she nodded her head, "Yes, they're three floors below. That's fine, right?"

"There's no problem with them staying here. Heck, this is free. I didn't buy a single piece of land in the Alstreim Family." Davis couldn't help but chuckle, "Let's go pay a visit to my second father-in-law before we see Fiora."

Natalya couldn't help but tremble, becoming excited as she looked at Evelynn. Evelynn nodded her head, seemingly forgetting about the provocation. Coming to a consensus, they seemingly made their way below after exiting the room.

======

In a large room on the fifteenth floor where Daniuis Alstreim previously stayed, four people stayed there as they seemingly lived their lives without worry.

However, there was one woman who looked forlorn as she kept looking into the mirror before standing up and stretching her waists.

Her bosoms appeared ample and perky as she stretched before she threw her black hair that was tied into a ponytail towards her back. She looked towards the front and saw that her figure and appearance remained beautiful.

Her body undulated with a wind-attributed High-Level Law Seed Stage essence energy before it was completely taken in into her.

"Hai!~ Enough cultivation... It's time to spend time in leisure for a while...." The woman's melodious voice echoed out before she walked out of her room.

She walked into the hall and saw that her father and grandfather were chilling, playing a game that was similar to chess while her mother seemed to be amused as she egged them on, provoked them to make better moves on the game.

"You all..." The woman became flabbergasted as her voice echoed out, "None of you seem to have a worry for the future...."

The three of them turned to look at her before they all simultaneously scoffed.

"Fiora, your elder sister has married a genius and obtained all this for us while she cultivates and works hard. Let us enjoy the fruit of her hard work. Otherwise, it would go all to waste!~" Agis Stirlander spoke with a shameless smile on her face.

While Fiora appeared dumbfounded, the father and mother, Igor Stirlander and Rosalia Stirlander, laughed. The father couldn't help but say, "That's right, Fiora. You must learn to enjoy what you have. I know that you are concentrating on your cultivation, so thicken up your face and ask your elder sister for resources. I'm sure that she would give without putting up an attitude."

"Father, elder sister has already given me plenty of Spirit Stones to buy resources for my cultivation and law comprehension." Fiora spoke with a smile, feeling gratified, "So what I can do is not use the wealth wrongly but meet her expectations by cultivating harder. I took a short break, but I'll go back to cultivating soon."

"Aiya, so something like that happened. No wonder you're passionate, seemingly trying to surpass your elder sister in one cultivation session..." Agis Stirlander couldn't help but laugh, which in turn caused Fiora to be deeply embarrassed.

She bit her lips, feeling wronged. It was her who was ahead of her elder sister, but ever since brother-in-law appeared, her elder sister's cultivation seemed to skyrocket! However, she was not jealous, not anymore.

She was long past that and was only looking at the future, to surpass her elder sister eventually or to at least catch up to her. Her intentions were rather obvious that the three of them instantly found out and couldn't help but chuckle at her, making her bite her lips in embarrassment.

"Fiora~" A melodious voice echoed as everyone's gaze fell on Rosalia Stirlander.

"Don't worry. You'll obtain someone like your elder sister obtained very soon. You just have to say the word, and we'll start looking for a groom for you."

Fiora's black eyes trembled as her heart shook.

"Look, the Alstreim Family is full of young geniuses. Although I cannot deny that no one would come close to the man your elder sister obtained by herself, surely, there must be some good and strong men like him in this place. We'll do our best to look-"

"Enough, mother! I'm sick of this conversation!" Fiora's expression seemed cold, "My mood is spoiled. I'm returning to cultivate..."

She turned around and headed back to her room as her footsteps angrily echoed.

"Aiya, you've done it again..." Igor Stirlander couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his wife.

"She's disturbed by something. I can feel it..." Rosalia Stirlander narrowed her eyes, "Otherwise, she wouldn't be so adamant to the thought of getting married in this place where it is full of experts."

"Look, daughter-in-law. If Fiora doesn't wish for something, then don't force her to do it. When it's time, she would tell us of her own volition. She's a big girl already..." Agis Stirlander advised as he took a chess piece and moved on the board.

"I understand, father-in-law..." Rosalia Stirlander lightly nodded her head, seemingly looking like an obedient wife but a shrewd yet caring glint shone in her eyes as she looked at the retreating back of her second daughter.

Now that Natalya had been married off and appeared to be happier than ever, all her worry fell on to this troublemaker.

*Knock!~ Knock!~*

At this moment, two knocks could be heard, prompting all four of their eyes to light up. In this place, who would come to see them other than Natalya?

They all left what they were doing and rushed to open the door, including Fiora, whose expression seemed to be excited, no longer irritated. She was excited to see her elder sister. Not only her, but they haven't seen her after the time she returned from the Falling Snow Sect, nor did they go disturb her for anything other than knowing about her health, sometimes wishing if she would already carry a progeny in her stomach.

After all, they didn't know that Davis was not actually here in his real body this whole year.

"Natalya, my dear!~ You're back!"

Rosalia Stirlander excitedly echoed as she opened the door wide. However, two more figures came into her view other than the figure she expected, causing her eyes to widen while the three behind her froze.

"Hello there, mother-in-law..." A man with an awkward smile on his face waved his hand.
