Chapter 1278 - Result Of Overthinking
"Wait..." Evelynn instantly became confused once she came out of her reverie, "Nora’s little sister? Who is that?"
"That’s right. I have no recollection of such a person..." Natalya echoed, feeling that Davis was kidding.
After all, they both have never heard of such a person before.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.
Davis expected them to look at him with disgust or exasperation, but looking at their curious expression, he became dumbfounded for a moment.
Evelynn raised her hand and waved it in front of his face, "Davis? Are you still there?"
Davis came back to himself on being prodded by her before he closed his eyes, compiling information for a few seconds before he sent them to Evelynn and Natalya in the form of soul transmission.
Evelynn and Natalya’s expression changed. The soul transmission contained information, almost like a summary of the events that took place in the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago. Davis explained it to them from the moment he left them to meeting Sophie, traveling with her to the islands, battling with magical beasts before accidentally meeting two Ninth Stage Powerhouses.
Till this, Evelynn knew most of them, even about the Immortal Inheritance since he once shared it already, but she didn’t know the result, and neither did Natalya, including all that happened unless Evelynn told her otherwise.
Following the previous content, he explained how he entered the Lightning Sea before managing to see ’dead’ people there who took care of him like their own, but he remained to train and tested them of their character, only to know that they didn’t give up each other but even further tried to ruin themselves by doing things that they didn’t like but had no choice to do so.
Especially, he added how Nora’s little sister, Niera Alstreim, was extremely likable in the way she tried to spend her last with him before becoming a sacrifice to the ’guardian magical beast’. He explained that part of her moved him, making him feel like that he wanted to protect and have such a woman.
Lastly, he explained how he obtained the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin’s Immortal Inheritance through some effort and luck before leaving the Lightning Sea, returning back to the Alstreim Family while also recruiting two Ninth Stage Powerhouses who were willing to protect the family under certain conditions.
Of course, needless to say, he omitted that had most things to do with Fallen Heaven, but the things he spoke of with soul transmission left Evelynn and Natalya dumbfound for around a minute straight.
The information they received was instant, but to digest it depended upon the level of their souls. For Evelynn and Natalya, it took a few seconds to instantly know of the content that Davis sent, but to understand and realize the richness of the story, they needed a whole minute to clearly understand the content.
"Such an adorable girl..."
These were the first words that came out of Evelynn’s mouth before she curiously looked at him, "Why didn’t you return with her?"
It came up to who sacrificed the most. While he provided them with just resources and love, they provided him with forgiveness and love. The two couldn’t be compared in a sense, as it is difficult to weigh in the cultivation world, but to Davis, the latter is obviously weighed more.
"Fine, fine. You two win..." Davis waved his hand before he looked at Natalya, "I’m rather curious to know how much you have improved in this year."
Natalya’s expression couldn’t help but brighten up, "Teacher said that it was a pity that I was married to you and a part of the Alstreim Family. Otherwise, she said that she was tempted to make me a direct disciple like Tanya and hand me the Falling Snow Sect once I became a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse..."
"Oh~" Davis deeply smiled at her, "You gained such recognition from Ancestor Tirea Snow. That’s great, but then, how far have you progressed?
"I’ve caught up to big sis!~" Natalya squealed as she held her cheeks, "I’ve reached Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage!"
"Woah! That’s a direct increase of a major stage and a level!" Davis became astonished at her speed, "You’ve managed to reach at this point from High-Level Law Seed Stage in a year? That’s... a tremendous improvement...!"
He couldn’t help but blink.
"Right! It was thanks to all the resources you gave me, darling~."
Natalya melodiously echoed in satisfaction.
"The Bone-Chilling Ganoderma Tree Sap, the Forsaken Yin Lotus, and the small lake of diluted yin essence. All of them had a hand in helping me reach this point. Especially the Forsaken Yin Lotus. It allowed me to jump two levels at the Law Manifestation Stage when I absorbed it before entering the Law Manifestation Stage, and in doing so, helped me easily comprehend Superior Law Manifestation for Yin Laws. As for Ice Laws, I’ve only managed to comprehend Distinguished Law Manifestation."
Natalya closed her eyes as her happiness in her expression faded, "Sorry, I’m ashamed of myself..."
"What the hell do you mean you are ashamed of yourself!?" Davis couldn’t help but berate her, "That’s two laws you’re acquiring there!!! One is more than enough, and you reached Superior Law Manifestation in Yin Laws. No one would dare to say that you’re inferior just because your Ice Laws is of lesser grade. You’re young and have a long time ahead, so don’t overburden yourself."
By the end, Davis’s voice softened.
’But, if I don’t work hard, I would not be able to enjoy the peak with you...’ Natalya thought as she smiled.
"Thank you, darling." She held her cheeks as she seemed happy to be complimented and consoled, "It was due to the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual and the resources you gave me that I was able to become so powerful, gaining much recognition as a result. I won’t ever doubt the love you have for me~ I should’ve known, but instead, I stupidly thought you were preparing to throw me away by giving me all these resources because you began to hate me but not cruel enough to not leave me without making sure I survive by myself."
"Hehe..." Davis couldn’t help but wryly chuckle at her imagination.
He couldn’t help but think that not only her but many women sure did mess up themselves by needlessly overthinking.
