Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 985 Isabellas Inten

Chapter 985 Isabella“s Inten

"First place, Davis passed with ninety-six points!"

Everyone’s gaze landed on Davis, causing him to smirk lightly in smugness. It was just as he expected!

Dalila Leehan also looked at Davis, a smile appearing on her lips. She looked at Nora Alstreim and shrugged, "Guess it’s my loss..."

Nora Alstreim looked pretty shaken. Alchemist Davis defeated Dalila Leehan? A Top Pill Disciple from the Thousand Pill Palace like it was nothing? Didn’t this mean that her chances of obtaining the reward went down the drain!?

"Don’t worry... It’s just a theoretical test..." She replied despite being worried herself, but Dalila Leehan shook her head.

"A loss is a loss, but I will defeat him in the final round!" Dalila Leehan’s eyes flashed with excitement and confidence.

Belias Alstreim smiled before he looked at the remarks that were written for the top ten. He didn’t read those out before, but he felt that he should read this one out.

"In the remarks, it is written that Alchemist Davis only answered ninety six questions out of the hundred and kept the other four questions blank!"

"Elder Belias means that he got all answers he had written correctly!?" Zeno Alstreim abruptly asked.

"I mean, yes... It would become like that..."

"What!???"

Clamor instantly erupted from the crowd, and Dalila Leehan looked towards Davis in shock. Getting all the written answers correct?

Did that mean he chose to leave the other questions because he didn’t know the answer, or...

Dalila Leehan suddenly felt the threat that she didn’t feel before as she previously viewed Davis as a person who just dabbled in alchemy. Her thoughts were quickly overturned when he got more points than her. She had written all the answers, but it was obvious that she got lesser points than him, meaning that she got a few answers wrong.

Immeth Alstreim clenched her fists in glee when she heard the result. She knew that she was right to have made a move on him! Davis was also an alchemy prodigy despite his cultivation not being up to par in terms of pill making!

However, after all that happened in the Waiting Hall, would he agree to take her as one of his women?

’Tch!!! I was so close...’

She didn’t lose hope at the rejection but cast an imperceptible look at Dalila Leehan in hatred as she felt that her chances were ruined because of this bitch, unaware that she didn’t possess even a bit of a chance to become Davis’s woman in the first place because of a long-forgotten feud.

Nevertheless, she knew that she couldn’t hope to offend such a person either. She lamented being born without talent!

"As expected of the person whom the Dragon Queen trusts... Alchemist Davis’s knowledge in alchemy leaves his peers in the dust." Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim praised.

Princess Isabella nodded in response. She looked at Davis, appearing all proud, and at the same time, she felt herself become delighted. Normally, she knew that he would keep himself out of the limelight, but she didn’t want him to be like that. She wanted him to shine like the brightest star!

It might be her selfishness, but she wanted him to be standing on top of everyone, becoming the ruler of all beings, whether it be magical beasts or humans! She also wondered sometimes that if Davis wasn’t the Loret Empire’s Prince, she would’ve already moved to make him her Ruth Empire’s Emperor.

However, in her eyes, Davis was a little problematic in a sense. She could tell that he lacked a grand ambition. It was good in another perspective as he had the time to look after her and others, but she also felt that a person shouldn’t completely lack ambition.

But at least, she felt thankful that he wasn’t a stoic or ruthless ambitious person who would use his close ones as stepping ones or sacrificial lambs. She hated such people to death as she couldn’t understand what’s in it for them in the end, all alone with nothing to care about.

That’s why she felt that she could hone his fangs, making him attain a kind of grand ambition, whether it be to become a ruler or a renowned alchemist who shook the heaven and earth with his name.

’There it is... I am overstepping my bounds again...’ Princess Isabella pursed her lips as she inwardly let out a sigh. She was afraid that he would hate her for this, but fortunately, he went along with her and even let her use some of the nectar he obtained with his power alone.

In other words, she knew that he let him be used by her.

’I will always be yours, so believe me in whatever I do for you... Davis...’ She touched her bosom with a worried expression on her face but instantly returned to having a gentle smile that she previously possessed. However, it contained a bit of sorrow that one wouldn’t usually see.

Princess Isabella had once asked how much longer would it take for her to reach the revered Immortal Stage and the Earth Dragon Immortal gave an answer that said if she met its expectations, her ultimate breakthrough could be anywhere within two hundred to four hundred years of age.

However, she always had the thought that at some point, one or the other, or both would die in their pursuit of cultivation. The foes they were facing were becoming stronger and stronger, and she understood what Davis was trying to do here could possibly kill at least one of them. She wasn’t worried about her death, but she was worried about him.

No matter what, she felt that he should not actively put himself in danger despite the unreasonable trump cards and life-saving methods he possessed. She knew that such things wouldn’t magically come in handy when they were needed the most.

That’s why she always felt that she should do something to push him forwards, making him gain protection in the form of status!

And as expected, this Alchemy Exchange had plenty of people with connections attending, and she mused if Davis could use this opportunity to establish relationships with numerous people, like Dalila Leehan, she knew that there would be more options for him to choose from!

After all, she believed that Davis would shine in Alchemy! He had become a Low-Level King Grade Alchemist in his twenties! It would be a miracle for him to be not accepted as a prodigy in Alchemy!

Initially, she felt that making a small step, such as letting him participate in the Alchemy Exchange, would eventually make him be noticed by some people in the Thousand Pill Palace. Perhaps, they would even come to recruit him after analyzing his skills?

However, she didn’t think that a Top Pill Disciple from the Thousand Pill Palace would be present at this time. It was a cause for celebration as she felt that if Davis could become friendly with Dalila Leehan and have her attest to his skills in alchemy in front of the Thousand Pill Palace, his status as an Alchemist would never be the same, completely skyrocketing to the heavens!

She felt a bit ironic as she felt that she must thank Nora Alstreim for bringing Dalila Leehan here but nevertheless, whether Davis could successfully attract the Thousand Pill Palace to recruit him remained to be seen.

’Davis, use this opportunity to establish yourself. Due to the silly plot, you enacted in the beginning, you have become my subordinate in the view of the public.’

’No matter what, overturn it!’ Princess Isabella sincerely wished.

All she could do was push him forwards with a slight touch, not spoon-feed or force him. She knew that it would backfire instead as she felt that she would be trampling upon his pride.
