Bylai was holding Davis's arm as their figures flashed into the Alstreim Family's seating area. However, she still didn't leave by his side, having her head lowered. She could only thank the heavens that there was a golden veil on her face to block the shame.
Bylai felt truly embarrassed. There was not only the matter of Davis hugging her in front of everyone and accepting her confession, but she had actually vented her grievances by throwing attacks at him.
Attacking the man she promised to be with innumerable punches and kicks? How despicable of her.
Venting? That was not the air of an expert, much less the grand Golden Dragon Queen's.
She felt completely ashamed that she wanted to go hide in a hole and never come out. However, unexpectedly, this kind of feeling was extremely refreshing! It was as though all the muddy matters clouding her mind were gone. She could see the world more clearly. Her vision was the same, but it was as though she reached a new high in her mental realm, similar to feeling like having her will tempered.
She didn't think that this kind of battle would clear away the little bit of her resentment and grievances left in her heart, but it happened, making her think this was miraculous.
Davis's embarrassment faded as soon as he returned. His look was indifferent, making him possess a transcendent air. It was not that he was putting on a big image, but Bylai's bouncy peaks were sandwiching his arm that he had no choice but to restrain himself.
"You knew this would happen?" Bylai couldn't help but ask as she raised her head to look at him, her question sounding vague.
However, Davis knew what she meant and shrugged.
"I don't know. The only thing I know is that venting out one's frustration and grievances is as important as restraining oneself."
"As cultivators, we meet with many matters and have many experiences. I've told this before, and I'll tell it again. The time spent on cultivation should no more than be ninety percent. The rest should go to your luxury and leisure. Part of it should be for fun, and the other part of it should be to maintain a firm heart. If you don't even spend a bit of time cultivating your character and values, you'll end up becoming a puppet or a fool."
"The same way, venting is also a part of your leisure. If you have any grievances, spit them out. If you're being wronged, speak up. We can talk things out as a family, but we should never raise our blades against each other. If I did something wrong and If you want to beat me up- ah, well, go easy on me."
Evelynn and the others were in a trance, listening to him express words of wisdom, but then he suddenly became this scoundrel, causing them to glare at him.
But Bylai particularly smiled and blushed, feeling that the heavens blessed her to have such a man. After all, she hadn't held back at all except using battle techniques. She couldn't tolerate the pain on her breaking knuckles and used the metal armor for bearing the brunt, so her fists were fine, but Davis took it all like a man.
Not many prideful men could handle an insult from their women, much less let them beat them. They would be crushed or left alone instead. It was truly the case of a man having complete control over them.
However, to be in this kind of control, she was glad to be in it.
Holding his arm from the side, a glimmer of gratefulness and respect shone in her eyes.
"Bylai, I'm envious!~"
Zestria abruptly appeared in front of Bylai as she clenched her teeth. She tried to pull Bylai away from Davis. However, Bylai tightly held Davis and shouted at her.
"Go away. Didn't you get to enjoy more time with him? Hmph!"
"No, since Davis told us to vent, I'm going to vent. You managed to receive the acknowledgment of the entire New Era Battle Arena. Isn't this marriage already?"
*Gasp!~*
Bylai's bosoms shook as she went stiff, having suddenly realized something. They were only lacking the marital dress and oaths. Otherwise, this was already a kind of marriage with the grandness of the scale. Thinking like this, her expression couldn't help but turn crimson with happiness.
She felt embarrassed but also prideful.
"Greetings, Valley Master. I've come to see Ivy Aries, wanting to exchange pointers with her, seeing that we have similar lotus techniques."
Natalya didn't hide her intentions to meet Ivy Aries, except the reason she gave was different.
"Indeed," The Valley Master shook her head, "We old-timers are unqualified. Only geniuses can exchange pointers with each other"
"I didn't mean it like that, Valley Master."
"Hehe~ I'm just joking."
"..."
Natalya thought she made a wrong move and offended her, but she didn't expect the other party to be teasing her.
"What? Did you expect us to be restrained and indifferent?" The Valley Master grinned behind her veil, "We do not practice Ice Laws to be like that. We practice the gentleness of Water Laws, but we also devour the struggles in our path, and although we seclude ourselves and aren't talkative, we are not outcasts. It seems that the world does really see us as quiet and hard to get to know women, not that I'm complaining. It's nice not to be bothered, but if it's Yin Lotus Fairy, you're welcome."
Natalya couldn't help but smile.
"I'm relieved. The Jade Lotus Valley is making its true comeback."
"We have no choice but to..."
As the Valley Master spoke, she pointed at the Calamity Light without turning to look at it, causing Natalya to nod.
"I'm the same. I want to support my husband in whatever way I can, so I've come to learn a thing or two from Ivy Aries."
Hearing Natalya's words, the Valley Master oddly smiled. However, she didn't say anything and turned to look behind and nodded.
Only then did Ivy Aries arrive before Natalya, cupping her hands.
"I didn't think the Yin Lotus Fairy would come all the way here to talk to the defeated me. I'm truly honored."
Natalya instantly saw through the rigorous restrictions posted on these disciples. Although Ivy Aries possessed enough power to rival her Valley Master, it could be seen that she was humble and obedient. Perhaps, it was just respect, and she had misunderstood.
In any case...
"Yes, let's go somewhere alone to exchange pointers." Natalya spoke with an amicable tone, "The battle before was truly a bit disappointing, not because you lost but because you gave up soon. I know you have more techniques to show me. It would be rather disturbing for us to be in this space. We can either go to the resting room to merely discuss or go somewhere outside to practice, treating this as a chance to sightsee. You can pick."
Ivy Aries couldn't help but blink. She turned to look at her Valley Master when a soul transmission fell inside her head.
"What are you looking at me for? You would be the one leading our Jade Lotus Valley after this competition ends, so if you don't make some acquaintance with other powers, you would be losing out and missing experience."
The Valley Master's voice was filled with kindness, causing her to turn to look at Natalya.
"Let's go outside."
