Divine Emperor of Death

Natalya left the battle platform under everyone's gaze while Tanya Frostblight still lingered. Natalya avoided connecting gazes with Davis since she herself felt as if she had done something stupid, something that she would have never done before even if she was given ten times the guts.

She even made daring statements such as no Eighth Stage Expert would be able to compare to her and could only look up to her in the future. She felt her face burning from embarrassment!

It looks like sticking with daring people really made her daring as well!

Tanya Frostblight looked a little bit sad. She inclined her head and suddenly yelled, "Alchemist Davis, you better take care of my friend!"

"Mark my words!"

"The next time I meet her will be when I defeated her, but it will also be the time when I would kick you if you were to ever wrong her!"

Natalya didn't stop, but her lips subconsciously curved into a smile as she heard her newly-made friend speak up for her. It filled her heart with elation. 

'Strange woman...' Davis's lips twitched at Tanya Frostblight's words.

He couldn't help but speak out as he waved his hand, "You would go that far for a friend that you just made?"

"I don't know about you, but that goes without saying! We've made a pinky promise after all!" Tanya Frostblight looked at Davis as if she were looking at a fool.

Davis's eyelids twitched. He didn't know whether to call this woman naive and pampered or a woman of words who heavily weighed words that were spoken.

Although she was quickly judgemental, it could be said that she earned his respect for various matters.

"Isabella, give it to her." Davis sent a soul transmission.

"Mhm? Tanya Frostblight managed to leave an impression in your heart, didn't she?" Princess Isabella looked back at him with a profound expression on her face.

Davis became speechless. It wasn't like he's going to fall for a woman just because she treated him well. Even if that were the case in the past, he was long past that point with three women beside him who seemed to genuinely love him.

Besides, Tanya Frostblight didn't treat him well but threatened him like a child throwing a tantrum. Why would he treat someone who threatened him better?

Because he didn't even consider her words as a threat but the care a friend possessed for a friend, and of course, many others would do the same for their friends, but this happened to be special since his second wife was her friend.

"It's not like that." Davis explained, "Not only did Tanya Frostblight not give in to greed, but she also had the gall to reprimand Elder Towerfall in front of everyone. She stood up for Natalya, calling her a friend, putting a genuine smile on Natalya's face."

"And because of her, it could be said that I got to know more about my Natalya." 

"I simply wanted to reward her because I know that they wouldn't be winning this battle exchange. Natalya puts weight on her words as well, so the fact remains that Tanya Frostblight is her friend. I simply wanted to reward her efforts."

"Making friendship with enemies... You are also quite lenient..." Princess Isabella imperceptibly shook her head.

"Excuse me, but I am off the idea that not all of them are enemies. Some are just opponents. Although sect members are a collective entity, as long as they all don't point hostility towards me, I won't consider them all enemies."

"They are all individuals and have their own choices to make. If it weren't for this, do you think loyalists and traitors within a single faction would exist?"

Princess Isabella widened her eyes, feeling a sudden epiphany.

Indeed, at least two different types of people would exist within a single faction. Isn't that the greatest example in this world one needed to not put all enemies into the same cage to judge?

"I don't what kind of experiences you had in your past life to consider all of this, but your words have enlightened me." Princess Isabella nodded her head with a smile.

'No, just read some books or stories that deeply dwell on perspectives...' Davis mused but didn't say it.

It wasn't as if he was kind. It was because he had the leisure to consider who were his enemies were and who were not. The others weren't blessed with Fallen Heaven to have this perk.

Others could only eliminate their opponents before they could eliminate them, but he at least possessed a tiny bit of leisure to think and judge since he could always kill someone at any point. Of course, this only applied to opponents who were just a little stronger than him.

He didn't have that kind of leisure when facing enormously strong opponents like Eighth Stage Experts, but for opponents like Tanya Frostblight, he did possess an enormous amount of leisure.

At this time, Tanya Frostblight was leaving the martial platform.

"Wait!" A sudden voice echoed out.

Tanya Frostblight stopped and turned to look at the Conferred Queen when she instinctively moved and caught something in her hands.

When she opened her hand, she saw a small vial that possessed a certain type of liquid.

"That vial contains ten milliliters of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar. It is more than enough for you to reach the Martial Ascendance Stage within a year as long as you keep your foundation stable." Princess Isabella spoke with a haughty expression on her face.

Tanya Frostblight became stunned as she looked at the vial in her hands.

"What is the meaning of this?" She asked.

"If you want to fight my subordinate's wife Natalya in the future, then you would badly need it." Princess Isabella spoke in a condescending tone.

Tanya Frostblight's eyes lit up, "Oh! Thanks! I didn't think you were this kind..."

She then left towards the Falling Snow Sect's ark.

"..."

Princess Isabella's lips twitched. She had tried to provoke, but somehow, she became a kind woman in Tanya Frostblight's eyes. Somehow, she felt that this Tanya Frostblight was shrewd despite her behavior.

'A strange woman, living in her own pace and world...'

She just silently gave up.

Davis inwardly laughed.

Originally, he had used several vials and poured the nectar in those to make a number of ten-milliliter vials. It was to bribe people into obtaining information if needed, but the first one he had given out was used to reward instead.

Elder Enye became pleasantly surprised. So by befriending the Conferred Queen, one could get the nectar?

Elder Enye experienced a momentary epiphany that they had perhaps used the wrong approach to gain the nectar! But she considered once again and thought the amount given was very less! Compared to that five liters they would gain by winning this battle exchange, ten milliliters was indeed abysmal!

However, she finally knew why those two women from Conferred Queen's Team were this strong in Body Tempering Cultivation when considering their age.

'So that's it... These small vials were probably also given to them. No wonder their Body Tempering Cultivations are all high...' 

Elder Enye finally arrived at this conclusion.

If it weren't for this, how could it be so easy to train the body?
