Chapter 126

s.h.i.+rley shook her head, "I don"t know . . . From that time, many of my siblings kept reminding me of how I missed the chance to become the world"s strongest woman . Every day, I kept thinking if the decision that I made at that time was right or wrong . "

"Well, since I made that decision, it is fated that I won"t be together with him again . I just wanted to know if I was right or wrong . . . "

"And . . . " Her shoulders sank, "Going by your story, I was wrong for the first time in my life!"

"Do you regret it?" Evelynn asked again, thinking that she will receive a different answer this time .

"Not yet . . . " Replying instantly, s.h.i.+rley smirked with a smile .

Hearing her reply, Evelynn felt confused, "Not yet?"

s.h.i.+rley"s eyes suddenly burned with fighting spirit, "I will battle him once again if I successfully gain the immortal inheritance! Then I will prove myself to him!"

"Immortal inheritance!!" Evelynn widened her eyes, she knew what it was as Davis casually told her about this matter once during their travel .

But confusedly, she asked, "Prove exactly what?"

"Prove that in no way I am inferior to him!" s.h.i.+rley clenched her fists as she thought to the time when she was utterly dominated by him .

Thinking about that event sent s.h.i.+vers down her spine . It had kept reminding her about him involuntarily and caused her emotions to go awry all this time .

As a Royal Elite, she had her own pride which she rarely shows outside, but it had been crushed by him . She could take this humiliation if he was the same age as her, but reality proved otherwise .

Evelynn wryly laughed as she thought about the time she challenged him, she muttered, "Right . . . I think that I could already see the result though . . . "

"What?" s.h.i.+rley heard her murmur but couldn"t catch her words .

"Ah! . . . Nothing . . . " Evelynn smilingly looked at her with a mysterious gaze .

s.h.i.+rley dubiously gazed at her and replied . "If you say so . . . Let"s go back!"

. . .

Davis kept conversing with Emperor Ashton . From their conversation, he understood that apparently that a banquet will be held after two days, celebrating her 21st birthday .

During that time, it seemed like there would be plenty of youths fighting for the opportunity to marry her in the future .

This came as a total surprise for him as he originally thought that Emperor Ashton had been still aiming for him, but it surely doesn"t seem like the case right now .

"I see that you have given up on persuading her to marry me," Davis replied as he laughed .

"Aiya . . . I"ve spoiled her too much . From my point of view, she had certainly ruined her future prospects . "

"Ahh . . . That"s necessarily not the case . After all, the immortal inheritance is nigh upon us . Looking at the facts, s.h.i.+rley and I are the only ones who have a chance to inherit it . "

Emperor Ashton sighed as he placed his hand on his forehead, "What you said makes sense, but the information you gave us is vague . We haven"t even reached the fabled Sixth Stage, yet you people say that there is an immortal inheritance that lets us reach the beyond the Ninth Stage . "

He removed his hands and flicked his sleeves, "Let"s not talk about that, even if you didn"t gain the inheritance, you still have your master, and I think that your master is at the immortal level since his Immortal self is able to come to our continent without being restricted by our world"s laws . "

"Meaning, you will surely reach the Immortal Stage one way or another, while the same couldn"t be said about my daughter . . . " He said as his eyes shone with a disappointed gaze .

Davis kept his mouth shut while he smiled wryly . Hearing out his opinion, he couldn"t help but admit that what he said was reasonable .

With the death note, he had blind confidence that he could at least make it to the Immortal Stage .

"And she"s back . . . That unfilial daughter of mine!" Emperor Ashton gnashed his teeth as he spoke .

Turning his head back, Davis saw s.h.i.+rley and Evelynn walking together .

"Go back to your palace, s.h.i.+rley . You have no business here!" Emperor Ashton shouted out .

"Alright, Royal Father!~" s.h.i.+rley grinned as she left obediently .

"Hmm? He didn"t call her out here? Then that means she came here by her own will?" Davis felt confused .

He suddenly couldn"t help but think that he put a lot of thought into this matter and became a narcissist as a result .

"I should stop overthinking . . . "

Shaking his head, he looked at Evelynn and questioned, "Where did you go?"

"Just for a little walk with my new friend . . . " She replied as she smiled .

"Ohh . . . A new friend you say? When did that happen?" With a peculiar expression on his face, he questioned .

"I don"t know . . . Maybe at the Grand Sea Continent Meet or now . " Smiling widely at him, she held his hands .

"Well, you two should go sightseeing! Our Royal Capital has tons of markets, tons of shops and many beautiful sceneries to see around!" An elder laughed as he boasted about this Royal Capital .

"Why not? No need to care about us . I will see you elders during the time of the banquet . Until then, we both bid farewell . " Davis replied and clasped his hands .

Emperor Ashton and the others also clasped their hands and left .

Davis and Evelynn looked around . They were on top of the wall, but no guard bothered to inform them to get down from the wall .

Apparently, no one bothered to care about them anymore .

Davis shrugged at Evelynn . He suddenly got an idea as he used this chance to pick her up again and jumped from the walls .

"Ahhhhh!!!" Evelynn screamed loudly as she closed her eyes and tightly held his neck while she hid her face in his chest .

Davis had a smile on his face . "No matter how many times I scare her, it still works!"
