Chapter 1205 Trading With Jade Sua
"Yes, Jade..." Drake answered as he eyed Davis to talk.
Davis chuckled before he gestured, "My name is Davis. Drake, Kara, and core disciple Jade Sua, please take a seat."
Three more circular cushions appeared in front of him, creating a four-point circle. Jade Sua cast a glance at Drake, and seeing him nod his head; she blinked her beautiful virid eyes before she walked and directly sat opposite Davis as the main party of the trade that was going to begin.
Drake and Kara sat opposite each other.
They were all facing each other in a circle.
Davis summoned a table before him, and four small cups appeared. He poured pre-prepared tea for all of them before he smiled, "Well, I’m not versed at entertaining, so let’s get down to business."
"It’s fine..." Jade Sua spoke, her melodious voice echoing, "Drake said that you could help me break through to the Martial Sage Stage. I believe Drake, but I don’t know about you... If it is possible, I would like to know your background as a start."
Davis blinked, thinking that she rather sounded courteous.
While he looked at her, he also saw that she had an hourglass figure, not at all inferior to Kara, perhaps even more attractive as her bust seemed to ninety-nine centimeters, only a few centimeters lesser than Evelynn’s, whose bust was a massive hundred and six centimeters.
’No wonder Drake and many others fell for her...’ He inwardly lampooned before he shook his head.
"It isn’t that ’I won’t’, but it is ’I can’t’ due to some circumstances. Nevertheless, you don’t need to believe me. It will do if you believe Drake because I won’t betray my friends."
Davis took his cup of tea and drank a sip as it entered his body, feeling it dissolved by his soul force instead.
Jade Sua’s lovely eyes narrowed before she simply nodded her head, "I heard that you need the Forsaken Yin Lotus for a reason, and it seems that Drake already informed you of my wants. What do you propose we trade in exchange?"
"Oh? Can you obtain the Forsaken Yin Lotus? Do you have two million lotus points with you?" Davis purposefully asked in a suspecting tone.
Jade Sua didn’t seem to be offended at all as not even her brows squinted. Instead, she raised her hand, and a token plate with lotuses twirling around on a lily-pad cushion carved on it appeared.
A number simultaneously came up like a projection.N♡vεlB¡n: Unleashing Imagination, One Read at a Time.

Davis’s lips twitched. She could indeed obtain the Forsaken Yin Lotus, but it was not enough as it seemed that she lacked around fifty thousand lotus points.
Seemingly noticing his expression, Jade Sua lightly smiled, her expression hidden yet slightly noticeable under the semi-transparent veil.
"If you had contacted me through Drake earlier, I had more than three million points, but I bought a Low-Level Emperor Grade Invigorating Sage Tempering Pill, causing me to spend more than a million points. However, as you might know, my breakthrough ended up in failure."
"Nevertheless, I just have to participate in a short mission, and I can get what you require without fail."
She confidently uttered.
"Good..." Davis nodded his head as he relaxed.
He didn’t know what this Invigorating Sage Tempering Pill is as his alchemy knowledge didn’t reach Emperor Grade but could tell its use from its name and Jade Sua’s need.
"But how much time would it take for you to complete this... ’short’ mission?" He asked.
Jade Sua brows finally furrowed, "Before that, can I hear what you have to offer in order for me to have a chance at entering Martial Sage Stage?"
"Alright..." Davis nodded his head but then shook, "Have a chance? No, you are going to enter Martial Sage Stage without fail."
Jade Sua’s brows deeply furrowed, "What do you mean...?"
"Do you understand that your words sound so... phony...?"
"Haha..." Davis laughed as he turned to look at Drake.
Jade Sua did not seem to react. Her eyes were still on the table, but she seemed to have descended into contemplation.
’Nectar...? Heavenly resource...? I think I’ve heard of this before...’
Her eyes widened as she raised her head and stared at the nectar’s owner, her viridian pupils dilating.
"Wait... What did you say was your name...?"
Davis’s brows furrowed. However, the next moment, his expression turned into an amused smile, "So you managed to figure out where I came from..."
Drake and Kara were stunned as they looked at Jade Sua and Davis. It seemed as if the atmosphere abruptly became intense.
"You are... the Alstreim Family Territory’s... Dragon Queen’s subordinate, aren’t you...? Alchemist Davis..."
"Seriously, that Dragon Queen!?"
"What Dragon Queen?"
Drake and Kara uttered while the latter gave the former a wide eye.
"Miss Jade Sua," Davis’s voice resounded with a solemn tone, "It seems you like poking into other people’s background...?"
"I apologize! I didn’t mean to..."
Jade Sua’s voice became apologetic as she realized that her conduct was rude, "It’s just..."
"I know..." Davis sighed, "But since you already revealed it, I see no use in concealing it anymore. But regardless, I want you all to swear that you won’t tell where I came from to others other than Drake’s wives."
"Sure, man. You can count on us..." Drake echoed.
Looking at Drake, Jade Sua nodded her head. They then collectively swore in front of him, causing Davis to smile again.
"I’m sure that Jade Sua will explain about me later to you two, so we’ll return to our business." Davis nodded his head, bringing the conversation to his pace.
"The thing is, you can have this liter of nectar right now to break through to Martial Sage Stage..."
"What!?" Jade Sua echoed with disbelief.
"Do you understand how valuable this is!? It’s the Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s Nectar, and you’re saying that you’re giving it to me without any kind of trade or assurance!?" She went blank for a moment along with Drake and Kara before she screamed at him, her voice a bit suppressed.
"Trade?" Davis smiled, "You still have to complete a mission or two to gain that many thousand lotus points. As for assurance, isn’t there a common person between us like Drake?"
"He will take responsibility if you back out of the trade after receiving the goods..."
Davis turned to look at the man whose smile had frozen, "Won’t you, Drake?"
Drake inwardly cried as he wondered why Davis would use him as a sacrifice, but when he saw Davis’s imperceptible wink, he instantly understood.
He patted his chest with a confident expression on his face, "I would do anything for my Jade, and more than that, I deeply believe that she would not act like a robber and not return what she promised."
Jade Sua went blank before her expression began to tremble.
"Drake..." Moisture welled up in her eyes while her voice echoed out as she silently muttered, "Thank you..."
She became greatly moved.
Vouching on behalf of her for a resource like this nectar was like weighing their heads on a concealed guillotine, unaware that a powerful entity might appear from nowhere and behead them in an instant. After all, who was the Dragon Queen?
No one knew, but it was rumored that she had a grand background, possibly powerful than any one of them can compare.
Jade Sua’s body shook as she turned to look at Davis, "I don’t want to put Drake’s life in danger. This is a trade between us, so I’ll take responsibility and swear that I won’t tell this anyone. That’s why, please grant me some time so I can exchange the Forsaken Yin Lotus for this nectar!"
"Oh...?"
Davis raised his brows as his voice sounded taken aback amidst Drake’s dumbfounded gaze!
