Chapter 1206 Kill Me, I Won“t Resis
While Davis was impressed that this two hundred plus-year-old senior sister didn’t use her junior brother to achieve what she failed to grasp with her own hands, Drake remained stunned at her words. He didn’t expect her to place such importance on him.
For heaven’s sake, he hadn’t even begun to hold hands with her! However, both knew that there was a kind of tension between them as he flirted with her whenever he had the chance.
Could it be that their feelings for each other were mutual? Or did she just want to protect him as his senior sister?
However, Davis could tell at that moment because he sneakily used Misdirection to distract them and invoked Karma Threads. Drake and Jade Sua certainly did have a red thread connecting them, but it was full of other colors as well, such as worry and anxiety.
Perhaps, they were both indecisive on how they should proceed with their feelings, just like him and Isabella of the past, but it didn’t matter to him since they already have a red thread connecting them. He felt that Drake would eventually take care of it if it is fate’s way of connecting them.
"Jade, it’s fine to use my influence at this moment..." Drake softly added.
"No, you don’t know what taking responsibility entails..." Jade Sua shook her head, "What do you know about the mysterious Dragon Queen?"
"Well..." Drake smiled as he shook his head, "Other than hearing how she managed to drive the Aqua Flood Dragon away with her bloodline prowess, I only know that she is a member of the younger generation and a heavenly beauty who took the hearts of numerous men as she became a fantasy here."
"An Eighth Stage Expert below two hundred years is rare even in our main headquarters, the Dual Lotus Manor. However, having that kind of prowess at the Eighth Stage is practically unheard of, so I get why she would be a fantasy here for a short time while it lasted."
Drake rubbed his chin as he looked at Kara, "Still don’t remember?"
"Yeah, I now remember about some silly hype among the men at that time..." Kara narrowed her brows, "But wasn’t it said that the Dual Lotus Manor was going to pay a visit but changed their mind since those Four Great Dragon Families silently sent word to all nearby hegemons that no one should visit or harm her?"
Drake shook his head, "I’m not sure as it’s just a rumor..."
"But if it were the case, it was done probably to protect her from the prowess of the mid-sized Territories. Obviously, she can reign and wander carefreely in the small Territories like the Nine Western Territories with her current prowess, but if any one of us, like the Dual Lotus Manor or the closest to the Alstreim Family, the Poison Lord Villa, were to enter the fray, she would be endangered which would directly be an act of offending the Four Great Dragon Families."
"Drake, did these all really happen?" Davis laughed but inwardly, he felt confused.
"You don’t know?" Drake became confused.
Didn’t Davis just indirectly accept that he was a subordinate to that Dragon Queen?
"I..." Drake frowned as he truly didn’t know whether it was the truth or not.
"It’s probably true." Jade Sua interrupted, causing everyone’s attention to turn to her.
"This way, we all seek to gain what we want in a swift manner."
Jade Sua became taken aback before her expression became solemn, "Are you sure? I would not allow Drake to take responsibility for this trade because only I would be responsible."
Davis nodded his head, causing Jade Sua to smile as he cast a glance at Drake and Kara before turning to look at Davis.
"Thank you all..."
"Haha, no need to mention ’thanks’ among us..." Drake laughed.
Kara also smiled as her gaze softened.
If it was said that she still held some misgivings for Drake to welcome Jade Sua as one of them, she no longer held them anymore as she didn’t make use of him. At the least, she felt like she could accept her as her sister as she had done with his other five wives.
"Alright, you can take this canteen that contains the nectar. I’ll be waiting here in this room for the Forsaken Yin Lotus, so don’t disappoint me."
"I will not!" Jade Sua replied to Davis, her eyebrows shaping themselves solemnly, "If I don’t fulfill my end of the bargain, you can send experts to kill me. I won’t resist."
Davis became stunned, and so did Drake and Kara.
They did not expect her to be so blunt with words. However, they understood her meaning, that if she had somehow failed to fulfill her side of the deal, he was free to kill her and not find responsibility with Drake.
Davis understood that she was originally willing to carry her legs to the Alstreim Family to meet the Dragon Queen, so it made sense that she had a resolute will to carry out things.
However, he also mused that in all her time here in this Dual Lotus Abode, she could’ve never remained a pure woman for more than two hundred years without a resolute will like the one that chooses death over being shamed! Instead of serving or slavery as a punishment, she chose death!
Jade Sua took the canteen with a wave of her hand and stood up before giving him a cultivator’s respect greeting as she clasped her hands.
"I’ll make haste!"
She then turned around and left while Drake and Kara remained, their expressions a bit rattled.
"Davis, you won’t truly kill her, would you?" Drake stared.
Davis chuckled, "Well, I won’t kill her for you, but the responsibility is unavoidable in case if she can’t obtain the Forsaken Yin Lotus for me, you understand?"
Drake took a deep breath before he nodded his head, "Alright. If she falls in a predicament like failing to breakthrough, then regardless of her will, I’ll aid her in getting you the Forsaken Yin Lotus, so don’t worry."
Davis nodded his head, "I’ll give you a heads-up. To take such a risk, she already loves you. It is up to you to break the matter. If you let this chance go, perhaps you’ll see her with another man once she is promoted and sent to the Dual Lotus Manor. I won’t be helping you anymore."
Drake’s eyes narrowed, "I understand..."
