Chapter 1717 - When?

Davis also kept his smile suppressed as he wryly spoke and gestured.

"Apothecary Nazca Alstreim, please don't be bothered by it. We are all limited by our skills, and even I almost fell that day, so don't feel down. No one took offense and was instead thankful for the expertise and knowledge you've shown."

Evelynn and Isabella nodded, causing Apothecary Nazca Alstreim to be taken aback as her eyes glistened. She thought she was invited here to be punished, but it didn't seem like the case, making her feel heartened.

Her body straightened before she clasped her hands and bowed her head.

"Thank you for your valuable praise, your eminence."

"Don't be so formal. I'm still your junior and an Alstreim Family youth.."

Nazca Alstreim blinked at Davis's response before she relaxedly smiled.

"Yes."

How could she forget that he was not even fifty years old?

"Little freak, do you still intend to compete with the youths? Isn't this bullying? Ahahaha!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but interject as he laughed, causing the hearts of the youths in the hall to shudder. But Davis simply smiled and turned to look at Shirley as he gestured.

"Shirley is the one who saved me from my near-death condition. She and I have a complicated past where we were once engaged but playfully rescinded it when we were still teenagers. Moving on to the current time, when I woke up from my death bed, I came to know what she sacrificed for me in order to resuscitate me, making me feel immensely moved, and for that, I could no longer suppress my feelings towards her and chose to make love with her. On that day fateful day, she became conceived with my child."

"Oh~~~"

Everyone went wide-eyed as they opened their mouths and nodded their heads. Some knew he changed the story to protect Shirley's dignity, while the remaining felt that it was an incredible story, the fantasy of it welling up within their minds as they imagined a romantic epic, especially the women.

"What I mean to say is, I am planning to marry in one week's time." Davis turned to look towards his left, "What do you think about this, Shirley?"

Shirley glanced at Davis, her crimson eyes brightening as she appeared moved.

"I'm willing~"

Her melodious voice echoed, sounding full of happiness.

"Woah!!!"

"Wonderful!"

Claire yelled from her seat as she deeply smiled. She knew that their baby would be born in less than half a year, so she was worried that Davis wouldn't have the time to marry Shirley since he could become busier as both his status and the people he dealt with were at the top of the world.

"Shirley, is it fine if we hold the marriage here?" She couldn't help but ask.

"As long as my father and a few half-siblings whom I've grown up with are with me, I'm okay no matter where the venue maybe."

Shirley shyly answered while Davis shook his head.'

"Mother, we're going back to the Ashton Empire. As part of the Grand Sea Alliance, we got to honor our ally."

Claire wryly smiled, "Right. Mother was a bit too excited."

"But as I've given my word to my fathers-in-law, I will marry Fiora, Sophie, and Niera in the upcoming days. I only ask for patience."

"Son-in-law, what are you saying?" Igor Stirlander narrowed his eyes while drunk, "You're the Emperor of Death, a Soul Emperor who's feared and revered. With a single word from you, thousands of women would be willing to warm your bed, so please do take your own time. We are not in a hurry for my daughter Fiora to be married but only grateful that you've already made my first daughter Natalya reach such heights and would only continue to do so."

"..."

"Although Igor's words are too crude, I agree." Nero Alstreim spoke, "Niera can wait. Son-in-law should first become the strongest because the Calamity Light won't be able to harm us. This way, we can all survive! Bahahaha!"

"Father, you drunk scoundrel~"

Niera rolled her eyes, causing the others to giggle and laugh before she leaned over Shirley and reached out her hand to Davis, grasping his shoulder as she looked at him with worry.

"We know you will do as you say, so don't feel pressured no matter what they might truly think, even if your own parents are forcing you."

"True. I'm already happy as it is~"

Fiora pressed her cheeks while she pursed her lips.

"Although you killed your father-in-law and have no one to promise my future, don't forget about me, though~" Mo Mingzhi giggled as she raised her brows, causing everyone to jerk, especially Igor Stirlander, Nero Alstreim, and Brandis Mercer, to tremble.

Killed who!?

"No need to worry about that, Mingzhi." Davis's lips twitched as he answered, "I will marry you next after Fiora."

"That's fine~"

Mo Mingzhi smirked, making the others wonder who the hell she was!

Was there a feud between their two families? Could it be like those Dragon Queens whose innocence was probably taken yesterday by Davis, Mo Mingzhi was also someone conquered by him?

The people who were unaware were rather curious about their history, especially Bylai Zlatan and Zestria Domitian.

Davis and Isabella killed both their fathers, respectively, so they wondered who Mo Mingzhi was and felt that they could somewhat resonate with her, not they cared much since their families sacrificed them, neither did they have much of a close relationship with their fathers. It could even be called alienated due to the thinning line of intimate relationships in their families.

On the other hand, Davis secretly took a deep breath.

Although he was told not to feel the pressure, he was really feeling it at the moment. Their lovely eyes were full of expectations and dreams, contrary to what they said because he knew that they were concerned about him.

How was he going to reach up to their expectations without hurting them? He wasn't sure but could only try.

"Master, I have returned!"

At this moment, a thundering voice of a woman echoed as a silhouette entered the Purple Guest Palace and rushed inside.

The hearts of the people inside the hall shook as they stared at the globular body of black lightning entering the hall. The arcs of black lightning on its spherical body made the space shudder and caused the hall they were in to brighten with a dark hue.

"This is..."

Mival Silverwind woke out of his drunken stupor as his jaws went agape as he saw the black lightning body disappear, replaced with the silhouette of a small female lightning spirit before she bothered with no one and flew back into Davis's lower dantian as if glad to be back home.

It was none other than Eldia!

Davis almost let out a groan of pleasure as he could feel the immense lightning energy cascade through his body and soul. It was as though butterflies were flying in his dantian, making him feel good as his revolving core loved this energy. Insights flooded him as a result, but he told Eldia to stop her bestowment technique as he was in a public setting and was enjoying the banquet of victory and joy.

"How...?"

Mival Silverwind turned to look at Davis, his mouth closing and opening agape repeatedly before he finally voiced out his disbelief.

"How could she have become a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental so quick?

"The Infernal Lightning Palace..." Davis smirked.

"As promised, they gave me compensation for the resources they have looted from the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago for a number of millenniums, and without holding back, I told Eldia to absorb all of it in the Dark Thunder Island where the energy their inside its core region is beneficial and useful to her, making her reach the Peak-Level of Ninth Stage, but in truth, her prowess is already near or perhaps equal to the Starnova Emperor."

"!!!?"

The hearts of many trembled with intensity.

Another monster was born just like that?

How many did this make!? Five? Six peak powerhouses? They hadn't even taken Shirley into consideration as they took Nadia's doppelganger into account.

"But... such an increase- !? I see..."

Mival Silverwind's eyes suddenly became clear.

"Indeed," Davis nodded with a smile, "Spirit Attribute Sources grow as long as they find resources. Unlike us, they don't need to maintain their foundations because as long as they absorb and digest the resources, it would drastically improve their cultivation."

"Little freak, how many miracles are you going to bring about?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's lips twitched. All that alcohol that entered his blood had already cleared as he mistakenly sensed that there was a huge threat approaching, but it turns out that it was his living Lightning Elemental, Eldia, who protected this Purple Guest Palace along with Nadia all day long.

He had been wondering where the Lightning Elemental went, and it turns out that she went to breakthrough, becoming capable of standing in line with Nadia.

"You just wait, Ancestor." Davis couldn't help but grin, "Within a decade, I promise I'll bring Sophie and Niera to the same level, perhaps even stronger."

"...!?"

Many people instantly became dumbfounded while Sophie and Niera smiled more, completely believing in his ability to do the things he said he would.

His confidence... it was highly infectious and made the unmarried beauties look at him in a desirous light. Even Bylai Zlatan and Zestria Domitian were dumbfounded.

Why was he so casual with everybody, treating them as if they were at the same level?

All that coldness and killing intent he displayed during their crisis... where did it go?

Could it be all the fault lied within their Dragon Families for provoking him into destroying their lives and reputations?

Suddenly, Davis's eyes went wide before his lips curved.

"Perfect timing."

"...?"

He spoke, making the others wonder what it was now as they saw him gesture towards a hallway.

"Today, I also wanted to introduce you all to someone."

Footsteps could be heard before two figures became visible.

Natalya walked in together with a woman hand-in-hand, followed by another woman. However, these two women wore icy-white robes and possessed pale white skin, appearing otherworldly and even regal with a crown over their heads, within the side of their ears.

"Spirits?"

Ancestor Tirea Snow's eyes widened the same time all the eyes present almost popped out of their sockets.
