Chapter 1323 - Loyal?

Esvele remained absorbed in reading the contents of the letter.

The Dragon Queen suppressed an Aqua Flood Dragon at the Low-Level Emperor Beast Stage with her dragon bloodline alone when she had merely entered the Martial Sage Stage...

Her favorite subordinate, Alchemist Davis Loret, had many achievements like manifesting a Superior Law Manifestation, having a tremendous soul force quality that was capable of making a King Grade Pill when he was an entire stage lower in the basic requirement to concoct that kind of pills, and a body tempering prowess that crossed even the Zlatan Family youth's ability to cross levels!

A tri-cultivating genius with tremendous potential! It was noted that his name was currently in the wicked path's kill list from yesterday, somewhere in the twenties!

He was said to currently have two wives, namely Evelynn Loret and Natalya Loret, both said to exceed the small-sized Territories' youths in terms of prowess and potential. It was said that they were gems and highly envied by the women of the Alstreim Family Territory for their luck because it was rumored that they were not that strong in the beginning and only managed to become geniuses due to their husbands favor.

What's more, there were other subordinates, but other than their cultivations, not much was known about them.

"!!!"

Esvele came out of her reverie as she finally looked at s.h.i.+rley's heartfelt expression.

"Senior sister... Who exactly is this person? Although his Essence Gathering Cultivation seems to be lesser than yours, his Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation overwhelms yours."

"Hehe..."

s.h.i.+rley couldn't help but wryly giggle, her expression becoming nostalgic as her eyes moistened, "He still has that edge over me despite being eight years younger than me. In the past, I still had the superiority in Essence Gathering Cultivation, but he overwhelmed me with his soul's prowess, making me look like a helpless woman. It was the first humiliation I ever felt in my life, a disgrace that I felt that I would never be able to carve out of my heart."

"W-What...?" Esvele became both astonished and confused, "But senior sister just said-"

"Well, after our battle, you didn't know what had happened, but those few events after that humiliation made that disgrace disappear and instead made me feel that I might be in love with him. However, I had no face to strongly relay my feelings to him after I agreed in a flow to annul the marriage agreement we had."

s.h.i.+rley's expression became exasperated before she pouted, "Sigh... what a stupid and impulsive young woman I was at that time... I should've been bolder and calmer, but I missed my chance."

Esvele's expression was pale as she looked at her senior sister.

They even had a marriage agreement, but they annulled it on a mutual agreement? What kind of love was this? One that had regrets?

"S-Senior sister s.h.i.+rley..." Esvele gulped, "I don't think a man would marry a woman who rejected him..."

s.h.i.+rley's eyes narrowed, "We parted on good terms..."

Esvele blinked before s.h.i.+rley shyly replied, "... I think."

Esvele pursed her lips before she sighed, "If senior sister wishes to meet that person and marry him, it would be extremely hard. First of all, senior sister s.h.i.+rley shouldn't have joined this sect if you're going to marry an outsider because you will probably be pestered or even forced to marry someone here. It is unlikely that those men here will easily let someone of your caliber go."

"Secondly, I don't think that this Alchemist Davis Loret will sacrifice the current people he has for offending the Burning Phoenix Ridge. Judging by his actions, it might be true that he really cares for his women, so if he doesn't care about senior sister, then we can be sure that he wouldn't go as far as to make an enemy of the mighty Burning Phoenix Ridge."

"Finally, it is possible that he-"

"Esvele, you're wrong about one thing, though..."

s.h.i.+rley blinked before she low-key grinned, an amused expression filling her face.

'The Burning Phoenix Ridge can't possibly suppress me if I make my escape while doing one of the missions... Besides, they have no way to trace me back to the Grand Sea Continent even if they borrow the help of a Mystic Diviner or some other tracking expert...'

"What am I wrong about...?" Esvele reacted, "I don't want senior sister s.h.i.+rley to be hurt..."

s.h.i.+rley looked at Esvele with a solemn expression.

"Esvele, I want to know... Are you loyal to me, or are you loyal to the Burning Phoenix Ridge...?"

Esvele's heart tightened, but she didn't hesitate to reply.

"I will always be loyal to you, senior sister s.h.i.+rley. I already made that choice when senior sister saved me from Schneider's vile hands and reaffirmed it when you killed Schneider in the mini-realm, the Burning Phoenix's Resting Valley."

"Good! I'm loyal to the Burning Phoenix Ridge as long as they don't force me to do anything that I don't like. Otherwise, you don't have to be worried, Esvele."

"What does senior sister s.h.i.+rley mean...?"

"I meant that I'm ditching the Burning Phoenix Ridge as soon as they want me to marry someone else, and that naturally means you'll be taken into custody to investigate my whereabouts after I escape. I care about you as you care about me, and that's why you also need to escape with me or face the wrath of the Burning Phoenix Ridge. Think carefully..."

"Senior sister, I'm not worried about myself. I'll follow you wherever you go... However... my family back in Yelan Town..." Esvele's expression became pitiful, "What about them?"

s.h.i.+rley raised her brows as she contemplated before her sweet red lips moved.

"It is unlikely that they would target your family, but when considered what kind of an a.s.set I am..." s.h.i.+rley bit her lips as she realized that she forgot about Esvele's parents and her siblings.

She raised her head and spoke, "Just tell them things are looking bad here and that they need to relocate. Whatever immovable property they have to leave behind, I'll compensate all of them. Surely, your family's a.s.sets shouldn't even reach the worth of a Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragment, right?"

Esvele shook her head with a bit of shame.

"Where should I have them relocate...?" She embarra.s.singly asked.

"Tell them to relocate to the Heaven Gazing Sect Territory to the east of us, preferably close to the cities protected by the Heaven Gazing Sect. Surely, the Burning Phoenix Ridge won't dare to touch them there, or you can have them relocate to the far away and desolate regions like the Tripart.i.te Alliance Territory. In that place, your family could live a better life without a doubt as long as they don't go overboard in offending the local rulers and hegemons."

"I understand, Senior sister s.h.i.+rley..."

At this moment, a silhouette suddenly rushed into the room as the door creaked open.

It was a teenage girl. Her fiery red hair flowed down to her waist while she wore a red robe that was similar to the ones disciples wore yet wild and natural.

"Master!" A melodious voice echoed from the teenage girl.

"Freya! You're awake!"

s.h.i.+rley happily reached out her hands as she saw the teenage girl fly towards her. However, her expression changed as she saw her change her direction slightly and jump towards Esvele.

"Ah!~"

Esvele gave a startled whelp as she was forcefully embraced by Freya in place before Freya buried her face in those thick, soft mounds before she began to rub.

"Ahh~ S-Stop~~ Freya~~"

Esvele experienced a s.h.i.+ver as she was unable to extricate herself from the hold.

"You! Esvele...! You have dared to seduce my Freya! What are the chances that you won't seduce my man with those big mounds of yours!?" s.h.i.+rley pointed at Esvele in an enraged manner.

"Ahh~ Senior sister s.h.i.+rley~" Esvele's expression was red as her body shook, "Save me from this little tyrant, please..."

"No, this can't be allowed to continue!" s.h.i.+rley waved her hands as she flicked her sleeves, "If I keep you with me, he might really prefer you over me. I must throw you away while I have the chance!~"

"Senior sister s.h.i.+rley! Stop teasing me and control this little tyrant! I can't take it anymore!!!~"

Esvele pleaded as her big bosoms were p.l.e.a.s.u.r.ed by Freya's forceful rubbing while s.h.i.+rley looked like she thoroughly enjoyed this as she began to giggle, resplendently smiling as she looked at her magical beast mount.

Freya was none other than the little Burning Phoenix that she had been given by the Burning Phoenix Ridge for becoming a top disciple, an exceptional one at that.

Freya needed sleep after consuming resources to quickly increase her cultivation. She reached the King Beast Stage, her cultivation base increasing so much after her trip to the mini-realm, the Burning Phoenix's Resting Valley.

Rumors had it that there was the Immortal Inheritance of a Vermilion Bird in this Burning Phoenix's Resting Valley. Apparently, Phoenixes waged war on the Vermilion Bird and conquered them in ancient times, leaving behind mixed blood descendants, the Burning Phoenixes, to multiply in this mini-realm.

When the Burning Phoenix Ridge's Ancestor found this mini-realm, he conquered the place and established the Burning Phoenix Ridge on their blood.

Nevertheless, s.h.i.+rley wasn't sure about the specifics.

It had been more than a year since she entered the Burning Phoenix's Resting Valley, which is now mostly desolate with its resources scarce. Even then, she managed to make a ton of killing in terms of wealth and even managed to kill Schneider while she was at it!

That's why she also wasn't aware of the increasingly blaring reputation of the Dragon Queen. She had only heard about Isabella after she came out of the mini-realm a week ago and had been paying attention when suddenly she noticed the word Davis Loret!

If finding Isabella and relating her with the dragon because of the Ruth Empire was not enough for her to be convinced, finding Davis Loret's name made her extremely convinced!

She instantly had Esvele collect all information secretly, which took some time, and when she finally had the results in the form of that letter, the happiness and excitement she experienced were inexplicable.

s.h.i.+rley cast her gaze towards Esvele and knew her worth other than her big bosoms as she was a loyal and endearing woman who would melt when treated right.

"Senior sister s.h.i.+rley~" A pleading yet sensual voice echoed.

"Freya, stop it..." s.h.i.+rley waved her hand, "You have teased Esvele enough..."

"Esvele, go see if there are any sect or miscellaneous missions near the Alstreim Family Territory posted. I don't care whatever level it may be; just bring the mission details over. I'll decide what to do..."

"Ha~" Esvele gave a sigh of relief as she was let go of by Freya. She breathed hard for a bit, her face flushed in a crimson hue as she answered, "Yes~"
