Chapter 970 An Invitation
[
"Say what!?"
Claire stared at her son in shock as she grasped his shoulders tightly, feeling disbelief while also possessing the doubt if what she heard was right. All kinds of emotions swirled in her purple eyes, causing Davis to smirk at her.
Healing father’s crippled dantian? Was such a thing possible to her son?
"I said that I have a special technique that can heal your father’s dantian, mother."
"What... you are saying... Is it true?"
Davis nodded his head.
Claire blinked before her eyes widened into two big circles again. Her pupils were glistening with a kind of hope and expectation that she had never revealed before, but at the same time, there was also fear of her expectations getting destroyed.
However, she believed that her son would not lie to her, at least not with something that would make her deeply relieved if it were to realize, and especially in the matters of her father.
Two drops of tear shed from her eyes before she wiped them away with her wrist and resplendently smiled. She didn’t doubt his words since she ’knew’ that there was an Immortal, or perhaps a higher existence behind him. After all, she was aware that cultivators ascend after they become an Immortal, although she didn’t know where.
However, she quickly became worried if this healing method required something of sacrifice as she relayed her worry in question.
"Sacrifice? No, such a thing-" Davis shook his head but got interrupted.
"Davis, if it is an unorthodox technique such as using your blood essence or something ominous, then don’t even try-"
"Mother, if I said that it isn’t, then it isn’t!"
Claire bit her lower lips before she jumped into his embrace and silently cried. She sobbed for a while before she muttered in a low voice.
"I’m sorry..."
Princess Isabella’s brows imperceptibly twitched.
Even if there was a need to be respectful, there was no need to be this respectful, right? A Grand Elder, and also a Peak-Level King Grade Alchemist praising her to the heavens made her inwardly shiver. Even she felt embarrassed for this person. However, she understood her current status and simply gestured a go-ahead.
Lloyd Alstreim possessed a blonde beard. He brought up his hand and rubbed it, "At first, I simply would’ve sent one of my subordinates to receive Alchemist Davis, but because I heard that Alchemist Davis was accompanying the Dragon Queen today, I personally came by myself with an invitation."
"An invitation... you say...?" Davis’s sapphire eyes flickered.
"Yes..." Lloyd Alstreim widened his lips, "The Alchemy Exchange of the younger generation is ongoing at this moment!"
"Alchemist Davis, the Alstreim Family’s Alchemist Association, would unmistakably like to invite you to display your skills in the field of Alchemy at the Alchemy Exchange! It should be a good experience for you too to mingle with your peers, and further your knowledge."
Davis’s lips twitched.
’Heck, I thought they were going to recommend me to the Thousand Pill Palace or something... But really, an alchemy battle between juniors?’
Davis came to possess a wry smile on his face. At his level, why would he participate in a children’s game?
He was about to decline when a melodious voice suddenly interrupted him.
"The day isn’t over yet, and I still haven’t toured the city much... A battle between juniors in alchemy, was it? Interesting..." Princess Isabella’s cheeks flushed, and her eyes shone with a playful glint, "Alright. I will give you my word that my subordinate will take part in this Alchemy Exchange!"
"Furthermore, the winner will receive a vial of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s nectar!"
Davis turned his head to look at Princess Isabella in shock.
Lloyd Alstreim became stunned before his expression almost turned into fireworks that exploded.
"Hahaha! I feel elated to be in the presence of the Dragon Queen and feel that it was worth it to personally come here to hear your eminence give out such a reward!"
He seemed to be practically stopping himself from dancing as his body trembled.
"Please..." Lloyd Alstreim calmed himself down in a few seconds as he gestured towards the direction he came from before he flew in that direction after receiving a nod.
Princess Isabella followed suit without hesitation, and Davis followed after he delayed for a moment. He sent her a soul transmission that was filled with the intent of wanting to be provided an explanation!
