Chapter 433
Evelynn could feel his nervousness traveling to her. She had wanted to ask what a Mystic Diviner was but held herself back. Biting her lips for a second, she decided that she should wait for Davis to recover out of the shadows of those two women.
After pondering over this matter for a few more minutes, Davis asked Elder Valoy about the ongoing events in the Tripartite Alliance Territory, making himself familiar with the major events that were happening.
It seems that in the one month the dark speck of light in the sky appeared, there was chaos rampant in most kingdoms.
While the Xuan Empire was able to relatively quell their people’s chaotic emotions with ease, it couldn’t be said to be the same for many other kingdoms.
Even the Loseris Kingdom which they were currently in seemed to have some destruction over certain villages and towns.
Suddenly, he felt a hand grasp the sleeves of his robe. He turned to see Evelynn looking at him with worry in her eyes.
He couldn’t help but smile and shake his head, indicating that he wasn’t bothered.
Only then did Evelynn reply back with a smile of her own.
Davis then turned back to look at Elder Valoi and couldn’t help but size up the man. They had easily killed him with Princess Isabella’s help, however, he should be a rather important member of the Tripartite Alliance in the mid-level.
“Who are you?”
Elder Valoi’s translucent mouth quivered, “My name is Valoi. I am an Elder of the Tripartite Alliance’s Falling Snow Sect Outer Faction.”
The room went silent in a matter of seconds. Seeing that Elder Valoi no longer spoke, only leaving them with that small introduction, Davis prompted.
“What is your age?”
“I am 3,575 years old.”
Davis’s eyes twitched while Evelynn eye’s widened as her mouth turned agape.
She had never seen a person who had lived this long before!!
Even Davis couldn’t help but suddenly feel a sense of pity for this old man who rather looked handsome with his high nose and sharp eyes.
This person had lived for more than 3,500 years but still fell to Princess Isabella’s single punch.
Princess Isabella was only around 50 years old, yet she managed to bring down a person who was more than 70 times older than her.
Davis couldn’t help but feel people aren’t equal at a deep level! At that moment, he developed a new form of perspective and felt that he was no longer going to underestimate people of lower age as well as overestimate people of higher age.
Elder Valoi only seemed to be 30 or so in looks, yet his real age was undoubtedly 100 times more than that, however, the Tripartite Alliance only had a history of thousand years as indicated by Old Man Garvin.
It was unlikely for Elder Valoi to be part of the Tripartite Alliance from the moment he was born.
’This…’ Davis reflected.
“At which age did you reach Law Dominion Stage?”
“When I was 2,689 years old.” Elder Valoi’s soul body replied without a change in emotion, still dull as ever.
’There a gap of more than 800 years, and at that time he only managed to reach Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage?’
Davis’s lips twitched as he comprehended Elder Valoi’s speed of cultivation.
He had only two words for this…
’Too freaking slow!!’
’Actually, they were three words…’ Davis inwardly lampooned.
’It also explains why Elder Valoi took so many years to reach the Seventh Stage. He should be a rogue cultivator who joined the Tripartite Alliance when he was around the Peak of the Sixth Stage and slowly moved to the position of an Elder…’
’Maybe his cultivation had regressed at one point after reaching the Seventh Stage and it took time to slowly recover and reach the Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage, hence taking almost 800 years in the process?’ Davis thought in musing.
At this moment, Evelynn who was shocked at Elder Valoi’s age and rate of advancement but simultaneously experienced a sense of superiority.
There was a person who was even slower than her in cultivation!!
Although she had resolved her inferiority complex over her cultivation, it’s effects still remained.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but ask.
“Do you have a family?”
Elder Valoi didn’t reply. He stayed silent as he floated like a ghost.
Davis turned to glance at Evelynn before saying, “Answer her question…”
“No.”
The slave Elder Valoi only answers to his master who is none other than Davis.
Evelynn comprehended his answer and at the same time was flabbergasted.
Elder Valoi didn’t have a family!? The man in front of her as thousands of years old but didn’t have a family? She found it difficult to believe.
Even Davis couldn’t understand.
’There’s no way… unless…’
“Do you have descendants?” Davis hesitantly asked. At one moment he thought it was rude to ask but the other party was already his slave.
How can his question be ruder than that?
“Yes…”
Davis’s eyes lit up while Evelynn quickly asked, “How many children do you have?”
’It was as if she found a new book and a character that she was interested in…’ Davis wondered and spoke, “Answer all her questions.”
Only then did Elder Valoi open his mouth.
“I have a hundred and eight three children. Fifty-eight sons and a hundred and twenty-five daughters.”
Davis’s mouth suddenly hung agape while Evelynn was taken back.
She was inwardly shocked but at the same time frowned and looked at Davis, “Isn’t this man lying? He just said that he didn’t have a family.”
Davis turned to look back at her as he chuckled, “He doesn’t even consider them family.”
Evelynn widened her eyes as she cast a judgemental glance at Elder Valoi. She couldn’t help but frown even more.
“Don’t believe me?” Davis chuckled again and asked Elder Valoi, “How did you father them all?”
“My first son was given birth by Zlata. She was a prostitute of the Red Theater of…”
“My first daughter…”
“My second daughter was given birth by Vesta when we had an affair. She is the wife of a rich merchant…”
“My third daughter…”
“My second son was given birth by a woman of unknown origins. I later learned that she was the mistress of a duke of a Low-Level Earth Grade Kingdom, so I secretly killed her with poison to get rid of trouble.”
“My fourth daughter…”
“My…”
“Stop!”
Davis promptly stopped Elder Valoi from speaking as he saw Evelynn’s expression change with every word of his ’adventures’.
The room turned silent but it quickly became awkward for him.
If he let Elder Valoi continue to speak, he felt that Evelynn would receive psychological damage. However, he also thought of letting her world view widen by listening to the rich ’adventuress’ of Elder Valoi.
Although it was rich, it was tainted corrupted and twisted. That’s why he had promptly stopped. This also confirmed his guess that Elder Valoi should be a rogue cultivator in his early years.
It could be seen that Elder Valoi had chosen to mingle with women only to curb his lust and sate his desires. Davis was afraid that if he allowed him to continue, then she would soon hear about disgusting stuff.
Evelynn’s disgusted expression finally settled down after a few seconds. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is your first son still alive? What is he like?”
“My first son died when I was 70 years old. At that time, my first son was just a teenager filled with hate for me.”
Evelynn’s eyes didn’t twitch. Instead, she closed her eyes and felt that it was enough. Her curiosity got the better of her.
She was no longer willing to listen to the disgusting tales of this man.
