Chapter 1187 For The Good Girl

"The other Spirit Formation I used is called Spirit Formation: Bind..." Davis revealed a smile, "Since I implanted it along with Spirit Formation: Lightning Rain on its fleshy surface over the cracked carapace to have even larger effectiveness, it momentarily bound its meridians, not allowing it to maintain any kind of defense at that moment."

"Then, it was unable to put up any defense and became unconscious by being barraged on its weak spot by those sixth and seventh stage purple lightning bolts. Nevertheless, if it had been left just like that, its natural healing capability would've revived it, but I used another soul technique, ending its life."

"That is how I easily defeated that Low-Level King Beast Stage Violet-Lightning Paralysis Beetle."

Sophie gazed at him with a kind of fervor. He had said it so easily, but she doubted if she could do the same when facing an eighth stage existence while being at the peak of the seventh stage. The gap wasn't any small, and one small mistake could instantly reap her life.

Just imagining about it made her blood run cold even though she had a bit of capability, like being able to battle against Low-Level Seventh Stage existences with her Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivation Base.

Davis pointed to the vessel, making her come back to reality.

"Well, Spirit Formations are similar to typical Formations in where they have offensive, defensive, and support capabilities except, instead of utilizing a formation plate or core, the caster is the formation core! Even if I am dead, as long any remnant of my soul force remains to energize the Spirit Formation, it would exist until eternity. At least, that's what the introductory aspects stated in the guide to Spirit Formations."

"I see..." Sophie nodded her head, possessing a complex glint in her eyes.

"You want to learn...?" Davis smilingly teased.

"That..." Sophie giggled as she added a few spices, "I want to... but there's no way I could comprehend it without reaching the Mature Soul Stage first. I'm just at the Mid-Level Young Soul Stage..."

"Haha... You'll be able to in the future. Don't worry!" Davis laughed as he imagined dual cultivating with their souls superimposed over their fleshly bodies.

He wanted to experience this heavenly and blissful feeling Drake spoke about but had no time because he wouldn't be satisfied with a single round once he began dual cultivating with his women. He felt that it was better if their dual cultivation session at least lasted for a single day or even half a day, which is twelve hours, which was unimaginable to him when he was a mere mortal human.

Besides, he still hadn't obtained the cultivation manual from the core disciple he was planning to kill. Furthermore, it would be Sophie's first time, and at least for that, he felt that he should behave a bit.

"I'm glad you're the one I hopelessly fell in love with..." Sophie uttered, satisfied that he didn't say that it was impossible for her.

Even if it was just lip service, she felt fortunate.

Davis just kept his smile before he recalled something.

"That's right! Since you're a blacksmith, you also learned inscriptions, right?"

"Of course..." Sophie proudly spoke, "I'm a Peak-Level Earth Grade Inscripionist. So, as long as I am forging Peak-Level Earth Grade Weapons, I a.s.sure you that those are top quality weapons that wouldn't lose to any weapons made by Peak-Level Sky Grade Blacksmiths!"

"Great! Then you won't find Spirit Formations difficult as I've noticed a few similarities between them. Nevertheless, you must first reach the Mature Soul Stage to be able to comprehend the concept of Spirit Formation, and the intricacies it has with the heaven and earth energy..."

Sophie nodded her head, feeling determined.

"Seems like you came to accept that I am not a Mature Soul Stage Cultivator but a Supreme Soul Stage Expert..." Davis smiled widely.

"You're at the Peak-Level of Supreme Soul Stage from what I saw, but with that kind of prowess, you're extremely closer to the Soul King Stage, no?" Sophie wryly smiled.

In fact, she was still racked with a sense of disbelief that she could not get rid of, at least not on this day. However, she came to accept that it was like this, that her man was a soon-to-be Soul King.

Honestly, she didn't know how to feel about it. If watching him reach Martial Master Stage made her incredibly proud and excited, watching him reach the peak of Supreme Soul Stage should also feel the same, and she indeed did.

However, she was simply unable to keep that feeling.

Perhaps, it was because she felt that she no longer deserved to be within the same world as him.

A Soul King below hundred years of age? What kind of joke was this!?

Shouldn't he be in those famous large Territories or the Soul Palace with this kind of terrifying soul forging cultivation base?

Nevertheless, she knew that she had become his woman, and that made her herself determined to follow in his footsteps no matter the cost. She was unwilling to stay as the old her, an intense feeling of wanting to become strong enveloping her mind!

"Yes, you're right." Davis's tone became solemn, "The reason I'm here is to increase my cultivation base and breakthrough to the King Soul Stage..."

Sophie's heart shook as she heard.

She then relaxed, "I see... You want to take advantage of the lightning-attributed resources to temper your soul. However, finding one is too difficult. The best chances are if you encounter a Lightning Elemental, but only two hundred years have pa.s.sed since the last silent invasion. New Lightning Elementals would still be given birth to in these remaining three hundred years by the lightning-attributed heaven and earth energy present here, so until one more century, finding a Lightning Elemental at Emperor Grade should be difficult."

Davis nodded his head in agreement. He was of the same opinion, but he didn't need Lightning Elementals to increase his soul forging cultivation base as he had Fallen Heaven for that. However, he wouldn't say no when he found one as he still had to increase his Essence Gathering Cultivation as well as comprehend Lightning Laws.

Nevertheless, it was secondary as he had to first concentrate on his soul. However, he was a bit worried since his comprehension of King Soul Stage was basically void. He didn't know how it was going to affect him in the future, but he still had to take the leap as the danger he felt could be upon him anytime.

"Davis..." Sophie abruptly echoed, appearing to be hesitant.

"Yes...?"

However, no matter how Davis waited, she didn't speak out her next words.

He glanced at her before his solemn expression faded, "Sophie, no matter what it may be, ask away. You have the freedom to do so as you're mine."

Sophie's hesitant expression faded, replaced with a smile, "Then I'll... resolve myself to be punished later..."

She turned to look at him, her eyes gleaming with a bit of fear, "Is your relations.h.i.+p with the Dragon Queen Isabella one of intimacy?"

"I wondered what it was, but to think it was this..." Davis uttered with a bit of melancholy as he was reminded of Isabella's proud yet delicate beauty that only he knew.

He did not think about her these three weeks as he was in seclusion, and once he came out, he forced himself to not think about her so that he could concentrate, but once Sophie reminded him, he couldn't help but ponder, 'She must have pa.s.sed the Immortal Grade Trial by now, presumably in the process of digesting her rewards.'

Looking at his sad expression that she misinterpreted to be disappointment, Sophie's heart fell.

"I- I'm sorry... I was just curious..." She uttered with a bit of anxiety, regretting her straightforwardness at this moment.

Davis was brought out of his reverie by her words. Only then did he realize that he was keeping a sad expression that made her scared. He awkwardly spoke, "Don't act like I'm going to abuse you or anything."

"I would never do that to you, Evelynn, Natalya, or... Isabella..."

Sophie's purple pupils narrowed into two tiny slits.

Davis smiled, "You have your answer, right?"

Sophie absentmindedly nodded her head. She really did not expect to have an answer, nor did she expect to be punished like the last time. Instead, she was expecting a real punishment.

"That means... you are also her Protector?"

Sophie felt like there was a quake in her heart right now as she saw more things become apparent, as if there was a curtain in front of her disappearing right before her eyes, letting her see what's behind it.

"Smart..." Davis appeared satisfied, "I am indeed Isabella's Protector..."

However, he wasn't surprised. It was discoverable as long as one managed to know his true Soul Forging Cultivation. After all, there were just too many conspicuous points, like why no one felt Ninth Stage undulations from the Dragon Queen's Protector.

"But then... You had a battle exchange with the... Ancestor!!!?" Sophie appeared deeply taken aback that her flames below the vessel became erratic.

"Calm down..." Davis waved his hand as he instantly supported her and her flames with his other hand. He looked at her and chuckled.

"Yes, it would be like that, but I underestimated Dian a bit as he already knew what Isabella and I were up to and was just going along with our schemes..."

"Dian...?"

Sophie's lips twitched as she heard her Ancestor's name be so casually named. It was basically blasphemy in their Alstreim Family, but somehow, she didn't mind him calling that or got angry over it.

Moreover, she felt that she came across a topic that she should not know about as she heard the word 'schemes'.

"That's right" Davis narrowed his eyes, "Have you been told whose child I am?"

Sophie shook her head. She only knew that Davis was an Alstreim and nothing more.

Davis relaxed, knowing that those Grand Elders weren't that stupid to bring their own demise. Even if they wanted to marry their daughters or granddaughters to him, they still kept the secrets about Claire within the wrap.

Sophie felt like she should not touch these 'schemes', but she became a bit anxious. It could not be something like working against the Alstreim Family, right? She didn't want to become a sinner for no reason.

She then instantly recalled him mentioning along the lines of 'who would dare to offend the Alstreim Family in a decade?' and couldn't help but think it was nothing of that sort.

She promptly relaxed, but instead, she asked what she had in her mind, which prompted her to ask all these questions.

"Then... is the King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf your magical beast mount?"

"That's right... She's a good girl, isn't she?" Davis smiled innocently, causing Sophie to be taken aback even though she expected it.

"However, she isn't just a mount anymore. She is a part of my family. I can't see her any other way with the time we spent together, and this feast is also specifically prepared for her for protecting us in that terrifying Lightning Rain."

Davis couldn't help but reminiscence. She was extreme beauty who had his heart confused, but more than that, she had always helped him and strived for the best, listening to his words to the fullest extent.

Rather than a magical beast mount, she was like a caring and loyal maid who listened to him, but he was the one who took care of her, maintaining a mutual kind of relations.h.i.+p. Consequently, how could he not have attached sentiments to her?

"In any case, you will eventually know about these things, so you don't need to worry about it while ruining your mental health."

Davis reached out his hand and patted Sophie's head, causing her to smilingly nod.

Unexpectedly, she found his sentimental side to be cute!

On the other side of the room, Nadia sat on the couch as she curled herself like a cat. Her face possessed a bit of a smile, but tears fell from her adorable golden eyes as she sneakily listened to their speech by utilizing her concealed energy, which even Davis was unable to find with his current cultivation.

Soon, the moment the door opened and the extravagant aroma rushed out of the room, she hurriedly wiped her tears and stood up, removing any traces of her mood with her dark energy.

"Nadia, your favorite dishes are ready!" Davis walked out as he brought the vessel out with his soul force.

"Master..." Nadia's bosoms heaved as an expectant smile filled her face, her eyes gleaming as she saw the aromatic food in front of her.

The succulent pieces of meat were kept on the flying dishes, which were soon kept on the table in the center before they began to feast. That's right, the seven deer magical beasts that came looking for its clan member who was caught by the Violet-Lightning Paralysis Beetle were now on the same plate!

Nadia's eyes were tearing up as she ate, and the other two smiled at her as they misunderstood that she was moved by the taste. After half an hour, their stomachs were filled with Nadia having eaten eighty percent of the meat. Feeling satisfied, they instantly set out!
