Chapter 2310 Unaware

If Ancestor Cornelia, the princ.i.p.al wife of Klade, a Level Nine Immortal Beast Stage Burning Phoenix, kneeling to a mortal brought them shock, then her begging that mortal to save them practically stupefied them all.

Klade, in particular, didn"t understand what was going on.

Was Davis Loret a renowned apothecary? Even then, it shouldn"t be this exaggerated, right!?

Nonetheless, his expression couldn"t help but turn angered.

"Cornelia. What is this? We can die but never kneel!"

"Shut the f.u.c.k up!" Davis pointed at Klade, "Can"t you see Ancestor Cornelia has put your life above hers to be begging me?"

"You!-"

Davis was just about to lift up Ancestor Cornelia, but her husband"s angered display got him angered instead, causing the latter to become incensed, almost spitting blood as he trembled with his blood flow turning chaotic.

"Child! Please don"t be disrespectful to my husband…!"

Ancestor Cornelia stood up as she cried out before she turned around and shook her head, gesturing towards Davis.

"Husband, please understand. If anyone can save us… it"s him. I am certain without any reasonable doubt."

"You… you"re just beguiled by his abilities." Klade waved his hand, "A mortal can"t possibly save me. Not even an Immortal King Apothecary could save a Fire Phoenix Immortal King Beast, which was poisoned to their core, much less him. Taking hundreds of steps back, even if he could heal me in the future after becoming an immortal, I would die before that as he would require the ability of an Immortal King at the very least, and even if I… we die… it should be with dignity."

"Husband, you can"t disrespect him." Ancestor Cornelia raised her voice, shaking her head, "There"s nothing shameful about falling to his feet. He saved the Burning Phoenix Ridge from extinction-level threats three times. If it weren"t for him, I would undoubtedly be dead. Even Lea wouldn"t have survived… yet, I couldn"t do much for him."

"There are already too many debts, so I don"t want to be shameless!"

"…"

Klade became shocked at this revelation, but he wasn"t surprised, considering the array of beautiful and powerful women behind him, especially the Empresses. Their presence told him how strong he was, but there was a wide gap between destruction and healing. The latter is extremely hard compared to the former.

But his wife claimed that he was capable. If so, just what kind of existence was Davis Loret?

Meanwhile, it was Davis who was confused. He thought that Klade doubted him despite knowing his abilities as the Emperor of Death, but as things progressed, it seemed like Klade didn"t know of his t.i.tle or achievements.

After all, since Ancestor Cornelia made that request, he thought that she leaked his ability to use Life Laws to her husband, but it didn"t seem like the case.

But as for the others…

"Could it be that they are all unaware…?" Davis turned to look at Founder Alstreim as he sent a soul transmission.

"Founder, did you tell them who I am?"

"Why would I?" Founder Alstreim Windstorm appeared confused himself, "You told me not to tell anyone. All I told them is that you"re a heavenly genius of our family who deserves the highest respect as he has a track record of bringing the Alstreim Family to the apex of the Grand Beginnings Continent, and so, carefully tread so as not offend him."

Davis stared at Founder Alstreim Windstorm, not knowing how to respond other than to shout that he was weirdly sincere.

"Moreover, since I"ve told them to lay low, none of them have made any interaction with the people outside, remaining anonymous. I left the power I created, so I know what would happen if I leave my family, especially when it doesn"t have the adequate power to survive elsewhere with little to no connections."

Davis"s brows raised, "Then how did you buy this property?"

"This? This isn"t my property. It"s Klade"s new property, bought just a few weeks before the Vacuous Beasts invaded. He was looking forward to moving from the west to the south so that he could enrich his cultivation along with his family that he made in the First Haven World. After all, this is the Fire Phoenix Prefecture, sought out by many fire-attributed ent.i.ties."

"But during the descent of the Vacuous Beasts, we were both returning from our last adventure together. However, we rushed back as soon as we heard that there were some terrifying beasts destroying cities and landscapes, but we were just too late. Klade was faster than me, so he went ahead. By the time I returned, everyone in his family had died. However, not only was he brave to protect my family while having lost his family, he was magnanimous enough to accommodate us in his new home that was meant for his family, so don"t blame him for being easily riled up, alright?"

"…"

"He has nothing left, so seeing his only love kneel to someone else is like puncturing his dying heart. After all, it would mean that he couldn"t do anything to protect his wife"s dignity, causing him further anguish."

Founder Alstreim explained, causing Davis to feel awkward as well as some guilt.

Ancestor Cornelia"s husband was just one or a few days away from moving his entire family away from the Four Ascendance Monuments, but the Vacuous Beasts killed everything he tried to protect except him. This was not something anyone possibly compa.s.sionate could endure, making him doubt if Klade had formed a heart demon.

After all, Ancestor Cornelia already hinted to him that the only reason her husband didn"t pa.s.s the heavenly tribulation was not that he wasn"t strong, but his will was affected by a few of his beloved wives dying at the hands of the wicked path powers.

But now, he had lost his entire family except Ancestor Cornelia.

Thinking like this, Davis felt that he had gone too far as he was only thinking about Ancestor Cornelia"s sacrificing her face to kneel to him and beg for the life of her husband. Personally, he respected Ancestor Cornelia for the foresight she had while even allowing s.h.i.+rley to save him, plus allowing him to court Lea as they were engaged in a relations.h.i.+p that was usually considered taboo.

He called her "granny" intimately sometimes, so of course, he was going to save her and her husband. Yet, she just had to kneel, which made him feel awkward before her husband got his sentiments hurt because of it, leading to the current mess.

Shaking his head ruefully, he was about to apologize when suddenly Klade"s voice echoed. Follow current novels on Freewebnᴏvel.cᴏm.

"You… you can really… heal me?"

"Perhaps…"

Davis lightly smiled. He couldn"t be open about it, while he also knew that he wasn"t capable of it at the moment. There was no way he could purify the toxic blood of an Immortal King Vacuous Beast at his current level.

"…"

While the others became dumbfounded at his response, wondering why he didn"t deny it, Klade seemed to stare at him with scrutiny for a short while before he opened his mouth.

"If you can really heal me, then forget about Cornelia kowtowing to you. I"ll do it if you show me the slightest bit of hint that you can heal me. Once you heal me, take it as I owe you a huge favor. Moreover, I"ll do anything in my ability to repay you, including the debt she owes you, with my power. Until then, make yourselves at home. Hmph!"

Klade harrumphed, turning around before he entered his mansion.

"Ah, child… Please don"t mind my husband"s att.i.tude. I… I"ll go convince him-"

"Granny, what are you waiting here for?" Davis"s mouth hung agape as he interrupted Ancestor Cornelia, "Go after him. Founder went to such lengths to get you here, all in order for you to meet your man."

"…"

Ancestor Cornelia didn"t know what to say to Davis"s easy acceptance before she gazed at Founder Alstreim Windstorm. In the end, she blinked thrice before she gave a bow to him and rushed into the mansion.

Evidently, she was greatly embarra.s.sed to think that Founder Alstreim Windstorm went after her due to some old admiration for the beauty she had in her days as the Sect Master that would be mostly regained if she stepped into immortality.

However, only Founder Alstreim knew how she cursed in his face every time he visited her to convince her to ascend so that she may become a beauty and reunite with her man and possibly, decide on who should be saved with sacrificial nirvanic rebirth.

Only now did he understand his plan was much worse until he confided his thoughts to Davis, who then went along with his plan but with slight changes, which drove Lea to convince Ancestor Cornelia to come along with them.

Nonetheless, now that he received Ancestor Cornelia"s bow, he couldn"t help but feel rewarded for his hard work.

"Finally, I was able to repay my sworn brother Klade..."

Founder Alstreim felt as happy as a smiling fool.

Davis watched his strange ancestor mumble to himself before turning his head to the approaching person.

Clad in a crimson-white robe, he appeared devilishly handsome with his slanted eyes, shapely nose, and smiling lips. Level Five Immortal Stage undulations could be felt from his body, but at a closer glance, it was clear that he was much stronger than that.

As for his devilish look compared to Founder Alstreim"s carefree handsomeness, Davis couldn"t help but slightly glance at the devilish beauty in the rear, clad in blue robes, which he discovered to be Founder Alstreim Windstorm"s wife.

"Greetings, Davis Loret." The devilishly handsome man appeared before him, "I am Alstreim Windstorm"s first son and Grand Beginnings Continent Alstreim Family"s Second Ancestor, Whis Alstreim. Ermin is also my son. I wonder if you know about me- wait… what"s this? I didn"t do anything."

Abruptly, a bunch of women cornered him, staring at him with wide eyes while he flinched, wondering if he had done something wrong.

"Tell us how immortal babies are brought into this world or else..." Mingzhi uttered as she clenched her fists, causing Whis Alstreim to blink.

"What…?"
