The red-haired man screamed like a wraith as his expression visibly contorted. The pain that continuously scorched his soul made him almost faint but something didn’t let him!
Davis opened the vial and Elder Valoi slithered out into existence.
"Master!?" Elder Valoi’s monotonous voice echoed.
"Just die..." Davis languidly replied and Elder Valoi didn’t even hesitate.
Elder Valoi’s soul body trembled and it slowly dispersed out of existence. There was only a vague presence of soul fluctuations present before it completely disappeared in a few seconds.
Davis watched the soul fade away thinking that Elder Valoi would probably enter the cycle of reincarnation and finally enter his next life.
"And as for you..." Davis looked at the red-haired man with a grin on his lips, "Do you know why I let you come in contact with my wife and I didn’t do anything even though I was just beside her the whole time?"
Davis didn’t wait for him to ask.
"We came here to hunt Magical Beasts and train but humans are also beings that she should be wary of but she is always hesitant to use poison against humans. So the moment I’ve been warned about you, you’ve become my primary target to make her successfully throw away any hesitation in regards to using her poisonous powers."
He evilly smiled and beckoned with his finger, "Obediently enter..."
The red-haired man’s soul body shuddered furiously as his face finally turned aghast!
"Ah!!!! You’re the crazy one!!! Deranged bastard!!!"
The soul force barrier shrunk and strengthened. It then quickly entered the vial and Davis tightly sealed the vial and threw it back into his spatial ring as the screams finally stopped echoing.
He turned towards the poisonous mist’s direction and flew as the rays of the sunset slowly faded away out of sight.
=======
Evelynn intently worked on dispersing the poison from the surroundings.
Such a poisonous mist swirling in the area was an environmental hazard and she definitely wouldn’t leave her mess somewhere in open space that actively destroyed the environment like a plague.
Initially, she thought of absorbing the poisonous essence energy back into her body as that would be much faster but with the slightest carelessness, it became possible that she might accidentally poison herself.
Hence, she tried to disperse her poisonous essence energy instead which took more time.
She had already opened her eyes as she realized that the vines that let out the mysterious glow were no more. She looked around and saw the damage she did with her poisonous essence energy and felt it all the more to be lethal.
As her poisonous essence energy dispersed, she noticed a person suddenly appear before her.
It was none other than her husband!
Evelynn turned aghast but her mouth did not delay, "Quick! Escape! There’s poison all over the place!"
Davis just chuckled and flew forwards before he finally stood in front of her. A faint amount of concentrated martial energy coated his entire body, including the minute strands of his long blonde hair.
The martial energy didn’t let the poison enter his pores at all and besides, Evelynn temporarily moved her poisonous essence energy away from him as much as possible by actively controlling it.
"Your poison isn’t strong enough to easily get into my body and even if it did, it will be easily neutralized by my unique energy." Davis smiled as he extended his hand to her face.
He then held her chin as he asked, "Did you really think I would just leave you like that?"
Evelynn blankly looked at him and her lower lips quivered, her eyes turning moist.
"Perhaps you should ask this oversized snake..." Davis took his hand away and waved it when suddenly an enormous five-meter wide face filled her view by her side as the mighty fifty-meter long body fell to the ground with a thud.
Evelynn’s mouth became agape as she recognized the snake which she thought that it has almost got her.
"Or perhaps you should ask this man who targeted you but is now being roasted alive..." Davis brought out the vial but before he could open it, Evelynn jumped and embraced him.
Her arms were tightly hugging his neck, her head resting on his shoulder.
"I was wrong!" Tears cascaded down her cheeks as she proudly and happily echoed.
Davis smiled and caressed her back.
"I apologize for acting like that before but I needed to see how well you would react to danger and I must say that you definitely have not disappointed me."
Evelynn hummed in agreement, "Mhm..."
"From now on, you should no longer hesitate to use poison for battle, understand?"
Evelynn hummed again.
"It is a vital part of your strength and with your current strength, even Saint Beast Stage Magical Beasts wouldn’t dare to enter this poisonous mist for a long time. Look, that Low-Level Sixth Stage Snake’s carcass’s scales are already starting to peel off."
Evelynn didn’t look and just hummed again in agreement. Her hum gave him the tickles since she was humming on his neck.
He pursed his lips and enveloped the giant snake with his martial energy, getting rid of the poison for a few seconds on the outer layer before storing back into his spatial ring with a wave of his hand.
"Ultimately, you’re always mine..." Davis casually declared and that too garnered a hum from Evelynn.
Normally, this would’ve made her show some kind of reaction and he didn’t care if it would make her uncomfortable or assured. He just wanted to make her come out of her shell which she had temporarily closed herself into but she still didn’t.
’Is she perhaps recharging herself?’
Davis just sighed and let her embrace him for the time being. She definitely deserved this so he didn’t go out of his way to talk anymore, but just caressing her like how he would console a baby if he had one.
But then suddenly, a wave of soul undulations suddenly spread from Evelynn causing Davis to widen his eyes in shock.
’She... She made a breakthrough to the Young Soul Stage!?’ Davis blinked.
He realized that the quality of her soul force has improved greatly from her previous soul force, meaning that she had made a qualitative breakthrough that comes when reaching a new stage.
His shock lasted merely for a moment before he deeply pondered on what had happened. He arrived at the conclusion that Evelynn managed to conquer a heart demon relating to reluctance in using her poisonous powers.
In truth, she did significantly conquer her reluctance to use poison. However...
He didn’t know that the heart demon formed in Evelynn’s heart was rather related to him. She had been afraid that he had left him and the Sunset Tear Phenomenon rather had a deep impact on her emotions, causing her soul to waver towards unknown emotions.
But with this incident, she no longer had any doubt that Davis would leave her in this lifetime.
’In any case, my Evelynn finally caught up to Princess Isabella in Soul Forging Cultivation.’
Nonetheless, he was heartened that she was safe despite battling a Sixth Stage Expert with her eyes closed. Honestly, he felt that he would have to step in soon when the red-haired man neared her but he didn’t expect her to set up an ambush for him.
Davis felt rather ecstatic as he heaved a sigh, feeling that this stupid risk he made her take gave her a boon. He felt that not only did she manage to conquer her aversion to using poisonous powers against humans but also benefited greatly by making a breakthrough in Soul Forging Cultivation!
Overall, she had blown past his expectations!
