Chapter 722 A Single Yet Determined Nod
Although Princess Isabella wasn't well versed in the knowledge of Lightning Elementals, she at least knew that keeping an unrefined Lightning Elemental in the Soul Sea is an action that is basically equal to a suicidal action!
Unless the soul was extremely powerful, there was no way it could counter the Lightning Elemental's powerful and adverse effect on souls!
Davis's Soul Forging Cultivation was just at the Peak of Sixth Stage while the Derelict Extinction Lightning is at the Low-Level of Seventh Stage!
Even if he could cross stages to fight, the soul was intrinsically weak against lightning!
She felt that he was grossly overestimating himself!
Princess Isabella's expression changed as she quickly flew towards him!
"Davis, no!" She instantly neared him with her tremendous speed.
"Quick! Extract that Lightning Elemental out of your Soul Sea!" She held his shoulders and yelled!
Davis became speechless as he looked at her expression.
Princess Isabella was absolutely panicked. However, she didn't lose her mind and tried to convince him to the best of her ability.
To his startled expression, Princess Isabella pleaded, "Davis, you can't be like this... You are so young... Even if you want to become stronger soon enough, you can't be like this!"
"The way you are doing it, you're just harming yourself!"
Davis shook his head and smiled, wanting to explain.
Princess Isabella's expression trembled but looking at him smile as if he was all-knowing, she knew that her words fell in deaf ears. She didn't know what to do anymore.
But she felt that she could not absolutely allow him to continue with this madness!
Her lips quivered as she couldn't help but plead, "Please... I don't want to lose you..."
"I need you..."
Davis's expression froze!
He became stunned so much that he smiled widely in glee the next second, his mind experiencing euphoria.
Looking at him smiling widely like a fool, Princess Isabella thought that he didn't believe her words. However, the next moment, she realized that she had said that she needed him!
It was literally the same thing as saying that she loved him if their past was taken into account!
Instantly, she knew why he smiled widely in glee as if the world belonged to him but despite her embarrassment, first things were first. She tried to use this moment to convince from directly tempering the soul.
"Please, heed my words..." Her lips moved and her expression was moving.
"I know that most men don't like to be weaker than their women, so I know that you're probably feeling pressured but I can guarantee you that I would stop cultivating until you catch up to me!"
"So please... just this once... for my sake..."
"Remove the Lightning Elemental from your Soul Sea..."
Princess Isabella bit her lips as she tightly held his shoulders. Her eyes were watery, trying to implore him into heeding her words.
Davis just watched her trying to convince him in silence. As she held his shoulders and pleaded him to withdraw the Lightning Elemental from his Soul Sea that wouldn't harm him, he became dumbfounded.
He couldn't help but watch her worry and plead for him.
He could've quickly explained by interrupting her but it was as if he fell in a trance, wanting to know how far she would worry for him.
Even using provocation and her promise to not cultivate until he catches up... Those were big words to the current Isabella...
Time was not on her side... Within the next opening of the Immortal Inheritance, she must probably strengthen herself as much as she can before the Immortal Grade Trial starts.
Even if the Earth Dragon Immortal was partial and favorable towards her, how far will it bend its own rules? Davis didn't know...
But the one thing he knew was... If she really kept her words and waited for him, she would be finding herself unable to complete the Immortal Grade Trial in the future!
His right hand couldn't help but raise as he touched her delicate cheek.
It was warm, soft, and fit his palm. He couldn't help but caress her while feeling heartened.
He brought his face forward and gave a lovable peck on her forehead.
With a smile on his lips, he opened his mouth, "Isabella, I love you too..."
Princess Isabella became taken aback before she embarrassingly uttered, "Now isn't the time for that! Quick! Remove that-"
Davis placed his index finger on her lips and interrupted her. Looking at her pale expression, he knew that he had taken it too far.
With all seriousness, he explained, "I've completely suppressed the Lightning Elemental... It didn't even show a bit of resistance to my strange energy..."
He moved back his index finger from her lips and the death-like energy formed on top of that finger.
"!!!"
Princess Isabella became stunned and her pupils dilated as she almost shivered from the sudden feeling of death encroaching and overwhelming her. Her eyes shot wide in fear but noticing that he was just displaying it to him, she tried to calm down.
She took a few deep breaths while still trembling before she noticed that this was the energy that he used when using his concealment technique, except, it was way worse, dense, deadly, eerily terrifying!
Looking at her shiver in front of him, Davis took his death-like energy back into his Soul Sea.
He knew that this would happen, so that's why he didn't display it to anyone close to him.
Currently, no one close to him, other than Princess Isabella had seen his death-like energy before, and looking at its effects, it seemed to instill extraordinary fear, even in the heart of a Peak-Level Martial Master Stage Expert!
Once the death-like energy disappeared, Princess Isabella finally heaved a sigh of relief as she relaxed.
"W-What is that?" She couldn't even help but stutter as she subconsciously asked.
She felt what she saw and sensed was certainly out of this world. It was a horrific episode she never experienced before in her life, not even when she met the Earth Dragon Immortal's remnant soul.
Davis knew that this question was incoming, but he didn't want to directly explain as that might expose Fallen Heaven, so he appropriately toned his words.
"Isabella, at that time when you said that we can't be together, you also said that you don't know anything about me along with two other points..."
"You are right..." Davis solemnly nodded his head.
Princess Isabella just watched him explain with her lips slightly apart.
"Indeed, there are a lot of things you don't know about me and this strange energy is merely one of them..."
At this time, he sneakily moved his arm and extended it behind her as he grasped her waist. Perhaps it was his own vulnerability in the display, he didn't want to let her go.
Princess Isabella gasped as she felt his palm on her soft waist while she was digesting what he said. When she glanced at his naughty hand and looked back at his face, what came into her view was his sincere yet passionate sapphire eyes.
It was as if an ocean pearl that reflected her flustered expression, causing her heart to skip a beat as she felt a strong sense of attraction.
It was as if the world froze right in front of her eyes, finding herself unable to avert her gaze away as she continued to look into his eyes.
She didn't know how much time had passed but suddenly heard a few words that made her heart skip a beat again.
"Isabella, will you marry me?"
Princess Isabella blinked for a moment and out of nowhere, pushed him away abruptly finding herself extricated from the spell; him. Fortunately, she didn't use much strength, so Davis only had his upper body pushed away from her.
He blinked, feeling that he got rejected but looking at her shyly avert her gaze away, he anticipated for her next words.
"You're unfair..." Sounded Princess Isabella's trembling voice.
However, she...
Nodded her head!
Davis widened his eyes in absolute glee as his lips curved.
He became so ecstatic that he had wanted to directly make Princess Isabella his woman right here and right now but instead, he tightened his fists while he had the urge to howl towards the heavens!
He wanted to praise the heavens for giving him this life but didn't go ahead with it as he felt embarrassed.
Instead, he threw himself at Princess Isabella and embraced her tightly as their cheeks touched each other's, making him feel her unusual warmth!
