Although it remained to be seen whether if it would work on Peak-Level Seventh Stage Cultivators or not, Davis didn’t want to ruin his life for a debt of gratitude even though it might seem selfish of him. After all, he did come to cherish life as a cultivator who could live a long life, and as a husband who can satisfy his wife.
Evelynn frowned as she thought about Princess Isabella, "In the first place, we came here to hide since Princess Isabella convinced us to stay low for the time being and to escape the watchful senses of the Seventh Stage Cultivators. Do you think she will help us fight against Seventh Stage Cultivators?"
Davis pondered for a moment before nodding his head, "With enough incentives, I guess. She is strong enough to go toe to toe, fist to fist against a Peak-Level Martial Master Stage Cultivator, and I can guarantee her strength because she and I have absorbed the Earth Dragon Immortal Blood Essence. I can feel the power coursing through and how much it makes us stronger physically."
"Even now, I feel that my breakthrough to the next level in Body Tempering Cultivation is imminent."
Evelynn blinked her eyes as she wondered if she could ever catch up to her husband in this lifetime. A sense of defeat welled up within her which was all too familiar, after all, she did once lose a deal with him, gambling her heart and soul which she eventually lost to him in the process.
"In that case, let’s go convince her right now."
"Sure." Davis twisted his head while it cracked. It was as if he was preparing for a battle.
Although he was unwilling to lose his life for a debt of gratitude and unwilling to reveal the existence of Fallen Heaven through repeated usage, he was willing to use his worldly possessions to help his benefactors!
Besides, he wasn’t afraid that Lucia, Nina, and Glyn would die anytime soon since their lifespan thread above their head indicated that they would not die anytime soon.
======
"Can we come in?" Evelynn knocked on the door as her melodious voice echoed around the corner.
No answer came for a short time which led her to look around to see if she got the right door.
[Luxurious Room 8]
Indeed, Luxurious Room 8 was where Princess Isabella stayed. She turned to look at the other rooms and wondered if Princess Isabella went to introduce herself to the ones who stayed in Luxurious Room 9 and 10.
However, to Evelynn, Princess Isabella certainly didn’t seem to be the type to socialize.
"Did she perhaps go out for a walk?" Evelynn muttered in a bewildered tone.
"No..." Replied Davis who was behind her and Evelynn promptly realized it at the same time.
The door opened and a wave of sweet, floral fragrance spread to their nostrils which heightened their moods and refreshed their senses.
"My apologies, I had just finished taking a bath, making you all wait outside for some time."
Davis and Evelynn weren’t surprised. After all, Elder Valoi’s blood had splashed over Princess Isabella.
Evelynn felt that as a woman, it would be strange if she didn’t bath after being splashed with blood! Especially when it belonged to a disgusting person!
In front of them stood Princess Isabella and different from the previous robe she wore, a yellow-colored robe with floral patterns covered her entire proportions below the face.
Her face was bright, and her skin was pale as snow like it was an effect from the floral bath she took.
"Come inside..." Princess Isabella gracefully turned around as she gestured.
Davis and Evelynn followed her in while a table and a few chairs that were scattered around the room gathered together to create a place for a few to sit and chat.
They all proceeded to relax and look at each other’s faces as if urging each other to speak first.
Princess Isabella’s lips twitched as she finally took the initiative, "To what do I owe you two the pleasure of being graced with your presences?"
Evelynn turned embarrassed as her cheeks turned red because she was well aware that she was talking to a princess, a powerful one.
In fact, as a fellow woman, she respected this person, Princess Isabella a lot to the point of becoming a follower! In her teenage days, she had heard about Princess Isabella’s prowess and especially looked forward to catching a glimpse when the latter came to the Loret Empire, however, she wasn’t able to meet her, nor see her.
"I’ll be straightforward, I need your help in dealing with a matter."
Princess Isabella cast her gaze on Davis and blinked, "Well, I presume that this matter concerns something you can’t handle?"
Davis nodded his head as if it was a matter of fact and continued to speak, "This matter involves coming in contact with Seventh Stage Cultivators from the Tripartite Alliance and possibly battling them if the situation needs, so you can choose to back out of this one. However, if you choose to agree to help, then I will hand you over the entirety of the loot we obtained earlier with the help of Uncle Erik."
Princess Isabella blinked again but her lips curved into a smile as she leaned towards Davis, revealing the outline of her bountiful curves which was just short of Evelynn’s.
"With the help, I gave you in dealing with those Seventh Stage Cultivators at that time, more than half of the loot should belong to me by rightful share, however, since it was laced with possible traps and tracking formations, I’ll reluctantly agree to take only half my rightful share."
Davis blinked, "So you mean to say that one of the three spatial rings belong to you while one other should be shared equally between us?"
"Precisely..."
Davis smiled wryly. He had wondered why this woman hadn’t brought up this matter when Uncle Erik gave the spatial rings to him but not it seemed like she was waiting for the right opportunity.
"You were waiting for an opportunity to settle this peacefully?"
Princess Isabella nodded her head, "I don’t want to ruin our co-operative relationship by my own hands."
"Hahaha." Davis laughed as he leaned back on the chair. He didn’t pause, nor waste time to consider, "Fine, you can have it since it is your rightful share."
He placed the two spatial rings on the table and pushed it towards her side.
Princess Isabella took the two spatial rings and stored it in her spatial ring with a wave of her sleeves as a smile lit up her face, "Now we can negotiate the price you are willing to give in exchange for my help."
Actually, the smile she wore never left her face during their conversation. It only increased or decreased in intensity as they discussed.
Davis nodded to her statement, "Out of the three spatial rings, you have two. That makes you have two-thirds of the loot, not half, so the remaining you possess can be considered as a token of my sincerity. Even if you choose to not help me after hearing out the details, the two-thirds of the loot will still belong to you."
"I thank Prince Davis for his generosity and magnanimity then..." Princess Isabella giggled inwardly as she didn’t think that the other party would acquiesce to her request that easily.
She knew that the other party also possessed treasures capable of withstanding the onslaught of Seventh Stage Cultivators, so she was not optimistic about gaining the loot that was given to him by Uncle Erik.
After all, Davis could simply use the argument that he could’ve held against Seventh Stage Cultivators on his own while using treasures such as the Earth Dragon Abode.
