Chapter 883 Pride and Endearmen
’Most of the potential Ancestor Dian Alstreim possessed has now been lost. Perhaps, he could only make one more breakthrough in Essence Gathering Cultivation in his life, entering Mid-Level Law Rune Stage. After all, from the looks of it and considering the amount of time he spent stagnating at this level, he already seems to be at the very peak of Low-Level Law Rune Stage.’
Davis mused before he clasped his hand.
"Ancestor Dian Alstreim is an ancestor both in name and heart. Not all Powerhouses would be able to give up their potential to safeguard their entire family. You are too humble and kindhearted."
"Protector is also too humble. To act as a protector despite having a huge potential that is able to shake the heavens and earth, I have no words to offer." Ancestor Dian Alstreim laughed.
Davis’s eyes flickered.
’Hmm? Am I just overthinking things?’
It was actually the second or the third time he felt something was wrong. However, if it was almost like he thought it was, wouldn’t he have been dragged out and beaten black and blue?
A moment later, he just brushed it off as flattery.Discover, Devour, Delight: N♡vεlB¡n.
"Come, let us sit and talk. For the Alstreim Family to be able to receive such a guest, it is our honor." Ancestor Dian Alstreim laughed as he returned back to the two thrones that were fixed side by side.
Davis followed suit, and they both sat on the two thrones.
The Alstreim Family had also all returned to their festivities, devouring the meat and swallowing the wine wildly. After seeing the battle between Supreme Soul Stage Experts and understanding their Ancestor’s sacrifice, they felt glad and ecstatic to be born in the Alstreim Family!
What more could they need other than an Ancestor like this? An Ancestor who sacrificed his potential for the family. The younger generation all looked forward to tempering themselves and become Elders and Grand Elder, who could support the family in the future, but it was also perhaps destined to be a short moment of day-dreaming.
After all, Evelynn and Natalya had accepted her as well. She was the one who came the last. Besides, she had already addressed them as sisters. The way she did things, once she decided on something, she never backed off.
Hence, if Davis actually left Evelynn and Natalya at one point for no valid reason, she knew that she would be the first one to raise a grievance.
Princess Isabella turned back to look at Evelynn and Natalya’s hidden yet joyous expression. They also noticed her gaze and smiled back before they all looked at the real Davis, who was seated with them.
"Darling!"
Davis, who was actually concentration on the conversation between the Solitary Soul Avatar and Ancestor Dian Alstreim, was given a fright. He almost swore when he heard those soul transmissions that resounded like thunder, but turning to look at their faces, the faces of the three women he loved, and recalling the way they called him; he suddenly felt the life he was living in was a paradise.
They didn’t dare to disturb him while he was dealing with Ancestor Dian Alstreim, but now that it had settled down, they looked at him with an endearing glint.
However, it was short-lived.
While Princess Isabella imperceptibly blushed and looked away to not pull in much suspicion, Evelynn and Natalya started teasing him, saying that he was a hooligan, hoodwinker, and other inoffensive derogatory comments, giving Davis black lines over his forehead.
’Hmph! Tease me all you want. When the time comes, I’ll make you two understand what teasing really is...’ Davis grinned evilly.
Looking at his silent yet devious expression, they wisely stopped their teasing.
Evelynn and Natalya suddenly looked at each other before they knowingly winked. They looked scared, but inwardly, they congratulated themselves. They knew that they had successfully attracted his attention. After all, they didn’t want him to forget about them after reaching new heights.
Perhaps after all this, he would really be ’teasing’ them till they pleaded for leniency!
Davis obliviously returned to concentrating on the conversation between his Solitary Soul Avatar and Ancestor Dian Alstreim.
"... It is as you said, Protector. I do think my Alstreim Family is weak, but it is not without potential. Let me introduce you to one of my Alstreim Family’s dazzling gem, the Young Mistress of the Alstreim Family, Nora Alstreim."
Ancestor Dian Alstreim shot a look towards Nora Alstreim, which made the latter startled upon being called out in front of the crowd.
