Arianna Woller didn’t want to poke her nose into this mysterious technique as she knew that it would just probably end her life and her son’s, so she decisively said.
“I won’t reveal this matter to anyone, and I give you my word that my son wouldn’t do so either! If my son and I ever were to reveal this fact to someone else, then may the heavens smite me for going against my words, making me unable to cultivate and die a horrible death!”
It was just as Davis expected. Arianna Woller knew the significance of this so-called mysterious technique. After all, even Old Man Garvin would have dropped his jaws if he were to see this ‘technique’.
‘Poor old man, perhaps I could’ve healed you if you held a bit longer and became my subordinate…’ Davis inwardly shook his head as he felt nostalgic.
He never expected that he would be bestowed with a power like this…
Initially, he had thought Fallen Heaven possessed manipulative and powers regarding death, but later the manipulative powers turned out to be karma from his observations, and even further later, healing powers were birthed.
He couldn’t tell what kind of existence Fallen Heaven was anymore. The only thing he could tell that its not the Death Book he initially perceived it to be!
Hearing her oath, Davis nodded his head in satisfaction, “I’ll have this oath be heard from your son as well.”
Arianna Woller nodded her head as she looked at Davis in a complicated light. She moved her lips.
“I apologize…”
Davis became amused, “For what?”
Arianna Woller became silent. Her silence lasted for a few seconds before she uttered.
“You know… When I sent my son away, I was thinking of severing our debts to you, even if it only cleared a single debt with one last affair… I even thought you desired me since you went as far as setting up a Concealment Formation.”
Arianna Woller revealed her intentions.
Hearing her statement, Davis didn’t find it strange but surprising since he initially thought that this woman planned and seduced him to devour his yang essence, but he doubted it since what was his yang essence going to be of use to Arianna Woller who was at the Seventh Stage?
He could only speculate that she was trying to make him her slave by using her feminine side since he didn’t sense any form of Charm Arts being used, not that he could recognize all Charm Arts in the first place.
However, by her confession, it seemed that she wanted to settle all the debts incurred with her body for a single night?
Abruptly, he chuckled.
“Heh, unfortunately, I am not the man you think I am… I don’t crave women whom I have no feelings for…”
“Furthermore, you are not my type, and your past is something I pity but do not sympathize with, so save your last affair for the right man. Someone who is accepting of you, both you and your past.”
“Don’t waste this last chance granted to you by fate, a chance to redeem yourself with a new life, or else; it’ll be a real pity I say…”
Arianna Woller’s expression changed as she looked as if she experienced an epiphany. A few seconds later, she couldn’t help but let out a grateful sigh.
She then abruptly giggled, her melodious laughter echoing in the room.
“Numerous men have tried to take my yin, taking my vitality away… But you’re the only one who actually granted me vitality despite giving myself to you…”
“It’s absurd and ironic… so much that I don’t still believe something like this happened to someone like myself…”
Arianna Woller poured out her current feelings with a helpless laugh before she turned to look at Davis, her eyes radiating a grateful glint.
“You have a kind heart, Alchemist Davis…”
Davis pursed his lips in annoyance.
When people say that he had a kind heart, he wanted to let them know of the massacre he had done in the past. No kind person would ever do that, but he didn’t ponder over it and just said.
“Maybe… But what I do know is that my heart is unmistakably narrow, only able to host a special, few, loved ones…”
“Who isn’t?” Arianna Woller giggled back as if it were normal.
Davis blinked, “Well, there are saints who-“
“Saints don’t exist…” She coldly interrupted.
Davis didn’t comment back since it seemed that she took the people known as ‘saints’ to a personal level.
Now that he thought back, even he hadn’t seen any saints, devoid of doing any evil deeds, including killing people as that one seems to be in the border of both a good deed and an evil deed in this world.
After all, both justice and massacres required killing to be done!
“My work is done here, and I thank you for cooperating with my experiment even though you misunderstood my intentions…” Davis clasped his hand.
Arianna Woller became taken aback before she blushed with a slightly red hue. She raised her hand and took a deep breath, “Just don’t say anything about my misunderstanding to my son. I’d rather die than let him know that his mother is still a woman who hasn’t changed from her past whore-self…”
Davis laughed, “You seem to be misunderstanding something here…”
He neared her and said it right to her face.
“Do you know that every woman I meet seems to be attracted to me? So it isn’t your fault that you developed thoughts like these…”
He took a step back and spread his hands, “That’s why you don’t need to worry about this decision you abruptly made!”
“You are still young, and love is in the air. Find someone suitable for you if you really think you need a man… There are plenty of people who might accept you… but I’m definitely one of them, so don’t you dare fall for me!”
Arianna Woller became speechless as she almost scoffed at his narcissistic words, but looking at his forced expression, she realized that it was his own way of cheering her up, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’ll make sure I don’t fall for you… I wouldn’t want a man who wouldn’t accept me either…”
Davis and Arianna Woller both smiled at each other before the former felt awkward.
He felt that he was literally flirting with a milf, so he rather took a step back and turned around as he walked towards the door. He deactivated the formation, and the next second, the door crashed open while Alexi Ethren came running in like a storm.
“What happened!? Did you heal my mother as you said!?” He anxiously asked.
“Why don’t you take a look at your mother yourself…” Davis grinned teasingly as his eyes flashed with a vague intent.
Alexi Ethren ignored Davis as he anxiously moved to the side and looked at his mother lay over the bed, but when he noticed that the bed was covered with sweat, his heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
But fortunately, before words could leave his mouth, he noticed that his mother had undoubtedly stepped into the Law Sea Stage!!
“This!!?”
He abruptly became stiff and didn’t know what to say…
It had been six hours, and he had been waiting outside, walking to and fro with waited breaths, not knowing what was happening inside.
He had been further afraid that his mother was being subjected to cruel techniques that forced the latent potential or some other significant concept that he didn’t know about to induce vitality and had no way to know.
Essence Gathering Cultivation had the least capability in sensing even compared to physical sense and soul sense. His senses had been blocked, and he wasn’t strong enough to penetrate the concealment formation.
All this made him incredibly fidgety!
However, when he made his way in and saw this mother step back into the Law Sea Stage, it was as if he saw her for the first time back when she saved him from near death.
Arianna Woller flew to the air before she planted her feet on the ground in a graceful manner. She smiled in a refreshed and gentle light.
“Are you surprised?”
Alexi Ethren gasped, “M-mother… What happened?”
“My vitality has been strengthened and recovered to eighty percent thanks to Alchemist Davis’s mysterious technique…”
“What!?” Alexi Ethren exclaimed.
But looking at his mother step back into the Law Sea Stage without encountering any dangers or sacrificing blood essence, he couldn’t help but believe her words.
Even then, his face still displayed his unconcealed disbelief.
