Chapter 2244: Courting…Death?
Somewhere in the Grand Alstreim Ocean, on a particular island with a newfound and rich spirit stone mine floated its supervisor.
It was a blonde-haired Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Cultivator wearing the Alstreim Family’s white robe. He took charge of excavating the spirit stones using the many workers buzzing around like flies as they carried out the spirit stones.
Despite his strength, he was not even an Elder. It didn’t mean that he was being suppressed, but it went to say that is how much the Alstreim Family had grown. Not even a Peak-Level Eighth Stage Expert could become an Elder in the Family anymore.
But at this moment, the supervisor suddenly sensed an oppressive undulation emerging from the distance. He turned to look in that direction, only to find that the oppressive undulation was already in front of him, causing his expression to drastically change, his pupils dilating into two tiny dots as he saw the massive winged figure floating in the skies.
Never had he seen something so big yet fast before that his heart almost stopped beating. The pressure was even more terrifying than the Aqua Flood Dragon that had almost forced its way into the Grand Alstreim City, causing him to a large gulp.
However, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, which shook him out of his reverie, causing him to slowly turn and look at who it was. His eyes recognized the face of the infamous name that propped the hearts of the Alstreim Family people.
“Leave.”
Just as his eyes brightened, a cold voice emerged from the infamous man’s mouth.
“Y-Y-Yes!”
The supervisor quickly dropped everything and escaped with the others. Everyone from the spirit stone mine flew out like a swarm escaping from the hive.
Davis saw them leave before he turned to look at the descending Light Sky Wolf Immortal.
“Will you not host me in your Alstreim Family?”
“I would rather not invite any immortals to my house, even allied ones while knowing that they could cause destruction in an instant.” Davis chuckled as he cupped his hands, “Apologies if I have offended your civilized self.”
“You’re a cautious human indeed.”
The Light Sky Wolf Immortal aligned to his altitude and transformed into a ray of light, transforming into a white-veiled beauty. Behind her, there was also another white-veiled woman with white hair. The two of them just looked gorgeous and exotic, the end of their eyes curved upwards like wolves, similar to…
“However…”
The Light Sky Wolf Immortal’s gaze fell on the purple-black robed beauty beside the Emperor of Death, her heart and blood feeling a tremor despite being an immortal.
“Emperor-Tier… Just… how…?” Her voice emanated disbelief while Everlight’s eyes looked the same.
“I don’t know.” Davis shrugged with an ignorant smile, “She ate the Dark Ironroar Palace’s Immortal, causing her bloodline tier to improve.”. coᴍ
“…!?”
‘The Dark Ironroar Palace’s Immortal?’
The Light Sky Wolf Immortal thought with doubt, wondering if it was the requirement to improve for Nadia’s unknown species. However, it was clear that Nadia was a wolf, so she thought about it and opened her mouth again.
“Sigh, Queen Nadia. My Starlight Jade Wolf Clan would like to officially invite your esteemed self to join our power. If you agree, not only would you gain the protection of my power, but you will also gain many resources that will further your cultivation path.”
“…”
Nadia remained silent, refusing to talk. Her expression-less face behind her purple veil and rousing eyes remained as calm as ever.
“Queen Nadia?” Davis’s voice sounded doubtful, “Isn’t it more appropriate to call her Empress Nadia?”
“True.” The Light Sky Wolf Immortal nodded, “However, her bloodline tier would lower once she reaches the Immortal Stage, causing her to regress to King-Tier. However, King-Tier Immortal Beast is still a ruler among us. If the Starlight Jade Wolf King sees her, he would hate her for the opposite nature but might make an exception because of her bloodline tier and marry her.”
“…”
Davis blinked before he raised his hand and scratched his forehead, his expression a bit exasperated.
“Light Sky Wolf Immortal. I’m thankful to you for helping me at that time, but are you aware that you’re courting death at this moment?”
“I am aware that you claim Queen Nadia as your woman. However, don’t you think that wolves are meant to be with wolves?”
The Light Sky Wolf Immortal’s voice remained amused, causing Davis to sigh, wondering if she was doing this on purpose to provoke him.
“I believe men and women of any race can be with whoever they want as long as there is mutual consent.”
“I haven’t heard about any other magical beast species being with you?” The Light Sky Wolf Immortal raised her brows.
“What can I say?” Davis spread his hands as a wide smile emerged on his face, “I love wolves.”
“You truly do love our wolves for you to make this big of a decision, to marry one of our Queens.”
“You could say that…” Davis dropped his hand and nodded with smugness.
“Since it is established that you love wolves, I will send Everlight to marry you.”
“Sur- What?”
Davis abruptly came out of his amused expression, looking absolutely stunned.
Did this immortal wolf just lead him into a trap?
“Don’t worry. She’s still chaste-“
“Wait. What are you going on about?”
Davis raised his hand and stopped the Light Sky Wolf Immortal, his expression no longer amused as this took a weird turn. Never had he expected in his life to encounter a scene where a magical beast power initiated a marriage of alliance to him, much less imagine it.
This was truly beyond his cultivation even though he wanted to marry Nadia because she was special to him.
“Obviously, to strengthen my power and yours.” The Light Sky Wolf Immortal giggled softly, “I know about your monstrous feats of killing two immortals, so I’m aware of the value of the proposal I’m making to you. I know the value is less considering your potential, but the dangers of the First Haven World are just as serious. You’ve offended too many immortals for you to be gullible about this matter.”
She shook her head, causing Davis to react.
“Fine, let’s just say that you want to strengthen both our powers.”
He relaxed as he brought both his hands behind his back, “But first of all, did you even ask Everlight’s opinion on this matter? Are you perhaps forcing her by any chance?”
The Light Sky Wolf Immortal turned to look beside, her gaze falling on the other white-haired beauty.
“Everlight, are you opposed to marrying the Emperor of Death?”
