"Stop!" Davis shouted.

*Rumble!~*

The formations he set up came crumbling down like a collapsing structure, except there weren't any explosions as the formation core he set up simply burst into pieces.

His eyes twitched as his expression turned worse but his face slowly changed into a shocked expression before it became normal.

Taking a few calm breaths, he gently heaved a sigh of relief.

As the concealment formation collapsed and became undone by pure brute force, a woman came into his view.

Pure black eyes, a sharp little nose, and red lips fascinated his gaze.

Dark purple wet hair reached till her waist and shoulders, with puff and wavy bangs on her forehead, accentuating her beauty.

The white supple outline of her skin became slightly visible through her wet azure clothes including her innerwear.

Her innerwear was the opposite of what she wore outside, it was white and easily became conspicuous while it covered her twin peaks.

No, it could be said that it perfectly outlined, no! Bolstered her twin peaks which made him a little uneasy.

The reason for his relief and uneasiness was not because he recognized the mighty strength employed by the beautiful perpetrator who destroyed the defensive formation but because of the identity of the perpetrator itself.

The next moment, both of them looked at each other and the atmosphere inside the dimly lit cave turned cold and silent.

The woman looked at him with cold eyes while the man kept his gaze affixed on her.

Slowly, her gaze turned into one of visible confusion before her mouth, "Are you with the people outside?"

"Outside? Who?" Davis turned the question with a question when it instantly dawned on him.

A woman and people outside? Chase? His mind clicked.

"Young Master Arashi..." The woman replied as her eyes narrowed, 'Could it be that I was wrong...? If so, I would have to silence or stop him from leaking information that I killed that bastard...'

Her gaze turned solemn.

Davis could feel her piercing gaze. He assumed that she was checking out his reaction to her question and was amused.

Without a change in expression, he answered, "No..."

The woman peered at him in scrutiny, not sure whether he was lying or not. Her fingers twitched, hesitating to make a move.

Davis noticed it and shook his head, "You just disturbed my cultivation and even have the nerve to ask whether if I belong to Young Master Arashi's group... Don't you think this is too much, Miss Isabella..."

"You!" The woman's eyes widened in astonishment and confusion. Her expression then turned severe, "Who are you?"

Closely looking at him, she suddenly thought she could've sworn that she had seen this face somewhere but couldn't recall it.

Besides, she had never revealed her name to other than some close acquaintances she had made in this past 6 years.

She wasn't sure if someone leaked her identity to this person, though that was the only possibility she could think of in this scenario.

"Ohh... Do you mean to say that you don't recognize me? Miss Isabella..." Davis slightly grinned, "Or should I say, Empress Isabella Ruth!"

Isabella widened her eyes even more as it came to her, "You are from the Grand Sea Continent!"

...No one knew that she had been an Empress except the people of the Grand Sea Continent. His words couldn't have revealed it any better.

"Correct!" Davis grinned in a teasing manner.

Once she thought of it like this, the face of the man in front of her suddenly intertwined with a familiar man but coincided with a small, yet little figure she had seen before, "Empe...? No, Prince Davis Loret!"

"Correct again!" Davis pointed at her and laughed, clearly delighted that she remembered him, the little kid he once had been.

"What a pleasant surprise!" Isabella exclaimed as she smiled, "But I should have guessed... With that master of yours, it isn't the least bit earth-shattering to see that you are here..."

Davis laughed at her words.

He knew that this woman had escaped from the forces of the Tripartite Alliance when she entered the First Layer from the vague words of Lucas of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

He stood up and got closer to her but stopped midway.

Isabella noticed his hesitation and turned to look at his gaze. Then she recognized her figure being... quite seductive.

Her lips curved into a teasing smile, "What? You have two wives and you still want another?"

Davis was stunned.

That's right, this woman did not know about the matter between him and Shirley.

"I only have a single fiancee now..."

He turned inwardly embarrassed but still had a poker face on the surface, "It's better if you change your clothes, Princess Isabella..."

Isabella blinked but then laughed with a muffled voice.

The man in front of her had already addressed her with three different honorifics. She couldn't help but remember how small this boy was and yet had turned into a man already.

However, she didn't ask about the specifics on why he no longer was promised two wives.

Davis maintained his poker face like his life depended on it. That muffled laughter of hers was just too stimulating for him with her twin peaks trembling like that but she didn't seem to notice it.

"Alright, can you go outside, I'll come to find you when I'm ready..." Isabella waved her hands as she shook her head, a smile still visible on her face.

It could be seen that she had really taken his presence as a pleasant surprise.

David nodded his head and floated away to the exit.

Once he arrived outside without getting drenched by the waterfall, he could finally no longer see the colorless thread connecting him to her.

He turned confused.

Was 50 meters the limit or it depended on the strength of the target like always?

He directly asked, "Fallen Heaven, what's with that thread?"

"It's a red string of fate, aren't you glad? You two are going to get married!"

"Fuck you! It's just a thread and it's not even red!" Davis instantly cursed, but then said, "I feel like it's related to something I spontaneously comprehended just now..."

"I can also feel it, it's like something that had been suppressed in me had been released..." Fallen Heaven replied.

Davis went into deep contemplation for a few seconds before it finally dawned on him, "It could possibly be Karma Laws!"

"Karma Laws?" Fallen Heaven's voice turned bewildered.
