“It is true. I have recovered…” Arianna Woller gave a firm nod.
Alexi Ethren came out of his reverie after a few seconds and checked his mother as he scanned her with his soul sense. The next moment, he confirmed that his mother became healthier and stronger than in the past.
Her condition had drastically improved in this six hours that he still held a bit of disbelief, but the reality placed in front of him left him no choice to accept that such a matter happened!
He opened his mouth, trying to convey his emotions, but he then abruptly remembered who was responsible for all of this!
He turned to look back at Alchemist Davis with a solemn expression on his face.
“I, Alexi Ethren, won’t ever forget this debt of gratitude! I am deeply grateful!”
“I know that I already owe two debts to you, Alchemist Davis, and I’ll give you my word that I’ll repay it all in the future!”
“As for this matter of the mysterious technique, I vow that I will never even leak a hint of this matter! If I did otherwise, then the heavens may smite me to death!”
Arianna Woller shook her head and revealed a wry expression on her face.
Alexi Ethren turned back and saw his mother shake her head. He couldn’t tell if she were disappointed, or it was something else, so he could only ask, “Mother, did I do something wrong?”
Arianna Woller let out a satiric chuckle.
“Alexi, not only do we owe our benefactor Alchemist Davis for saving us by requesting the Conferred Queen’s Protector to protect us once, and we also owe him for magnanimously handing us our ancestor’s inheritance.”
“Our debts don’t stop there. We owe our benefactor for the matter that increased my vitality and increased my cultivation back to near my peak.”
“… Three or more debts….”
She released an exasperated sigh.
“In ancient teachings, it is said that if a person were to owe three debts to a single person, then it is better to become a servant of that person rather than shamelessly clinging on to our self-respect.”
“In other words, we are essentially moved to the level of near-slavery… Hehe…” Arianna Woller giggled like a child.
Alexi Ethren didn’t know what to say to this as he remained speechless.
Was his mother telling him to become a servant?
Although he didn’t want to, even he felt ashamed when mentioned straight to his face. It wasn’t as if he didn’t have any shame… He even felt his cheek become hot.
However, he didn’t dare to look back at Alchemist Davis, fearing that he might really be talked into becoming subservient.
In the back, even Davis became speechless. He couldn’t understand this woman, Arianna Woller’s intentions.
Back then, she daringly mentioned ending the debt by spending private time with him, so he wasn’t sure if she would really dare to become his servant.
However, he wanted none of that! He wanted none of their gratitude! Especially that milf’s! Her charm as a kingdom-toppling beauty was just too strong for the current him! Even if she expressed her acceptance to become his servant, he didn’t dare to take it!
As long as they left, he would be happy!
“You two mother and son can talk as much as you want. I’ll take my leave right here…”
With his voice echoing in their room, he disappeared.
Alexi Ethren became stunned as he looked back, only to find there was no one present. He then turned to look back at his mother, wondering why Alchemist Davis didn’t use his mother’s point to further oppress or take away the inheritance from them.
But then he looked at his mother giggle like a child again. He couldn’t help but ask again like a child.
“What’s wrong, mother?”
“Isn’t Alchemist Davis just and kind?”
Alexi Ethren became taken aback. He recollected Natalya’s past when she was a nobody but was supposedly saved by Alchemist Davis and thought back to now where Alchemist Davis took actions that were mostly beneficial to them.
He didn’t know what benefits Alchemist Davis got by treating them well, however, he couldn’t help but nod his head, “I guess so…”
“A pity indeed…” Arianna Woller wryly smiled.
Alexi Ethren didn’t know why his mother said that, but looking at her wry and enigmatic expression, he abruptly thought.
‘Could it be that Mother has fallen for him!?’
He stood frozen before screaming internally.
‘Nooooo!!!!!’
=======
Davis exited the building and flew in an exhausted manner.
Considering that he spent more than half of his soul force, he really wanted to sleep as he slightly felt lethargic. He returned to his room and saw the two beautiful figures occupying two sides of the bed as they sat cross-legged.
Evelynn sat with a straight posture and cultivated Essence Gathering Cultivation while Natalya slightly inclined her chin above as if she were slightly attuned with the sky.
Around her, the air was invigorating and icy.
Davis could infer that she was on the brink of comprehending Level One Intent of Ice Laws.
At this time, Evelynn opened her eyes and looked at him as her eyes smiled. She moved her lips and let out the familiar and welcoming words, but it didn’t sound out.
Davis smiled and flew towards Evelynn. Once he was near her, he moved to embrace her, pushing her down the bed.
Evelynn almost let out a yelp and thought he was going to do questionable things to her right beside Natalya! Her face became crimson as she silently tried to protest by squirming under his hold.
However, a few seconds passed, and gazing that he was just burying his face on her full and firm bosoms without doing anything, she blinked in confusion.
She instantly felt odd and knew that something should’ve happened; hence, she couldn’t help but worriedly whisper, “Did something happen?”
“Mn? Not much… I just feel tired after healing Arianna Woller…”
“I want to sleep…”
Davis tightened his embrace and further buried his face on her plump softness, feeling her warmth while inhaling the deeply familiar fragrance.
Evelynn was just dumb thick that he couldn’t help but feel blazing warmth directly contrasting to the cold that Natalya radiated from almost nearing the brink of breaking through in the comprehension of Ice Law Intent.
Evelynn’s warm body was just too comfortable to the current him, so much that he felt that he could melt in her warmth.
Strangely, he wasn’t aroused but felt incredibly sleepy.
However, the next moment, he knew the reason.
Evelynn gently caressed his head, gently holding him like how she would hold a baby.
“You’ve been cultivating and taking care of us, the group relentlessly… It’s not wrong to take rest like this once in a while…”
Her lips curled into a smile as she patted his head with her soft and dainty hand, “You deserve it…”
“Mn…”
Davis only let out a sound. After that, it became really silent that he found himself comfortably drifting towards sleep in her embrace.
=======
Twelve hours passed.
Natalya, who was comprehending silently, opened her eyes. Her black pupils flashed with a polar white glint as she released an icy breath from her mouth.
“Level One Intent of Ice Laws…”
She muttered and smiled, thinking that she could only achieve this due to the Ice Attributed Spirit Stones that her husband obtained for her. Abruptly, she felt the presence of two people on the bed.
She blinked and turned to look at the side, only to see Davis on top of Evelynn. Her cheeks instantly became crimson, but looking at them closely, she realized that they weren’t doing anything naughty.
Her eyes twitched, ‘They’re sleeping?’
Looking at them hold each other while being wholly clothed, she could tell that they didn’t do anything sexual, and looking at Evelynn’s heartened expression while holding him, she somewhat felt envious.
Davis’s face remained buried on Evelynn’s bosoms, so Natalya couldn’t see his expression, but she could certainly tell that it should be peaceful and relaxing.
Natalya once again felt their love for each other. Her lips wryly curved as she knew that she will always be second. She couldn’t help but lament but at the same time, feel heartened she was even here together with them.
She knew that there was a worse kind of treatment out there for second wife or fiddles, but she never experienced such degrading treatment, not even for once. She just continued to watch them with her eyes, feeling complicated.
