Departure

"I want to talk to you about an important matter..." Davis uttered as he closed in, his gaze was somewhere else. To this woman he loved, he really couldn't control his desire to conquer her right now but unfortunately, his current physical age was really an unnecessary shackle that hindered him.

Evelynn turned serious and stopped teasing him completely, "I know, you are going to that place, right? It's fine, I'll wait for you..."

He nodded his head, "That's right, but it isn't as simple as going to that place and returning back."

"What do you mean?" Confusion was etched on her face.

Davis's face went serious, "Listen carefully, I'm going to that place, and take care of all those enemies, then finally reach the other side of the secret entrance."

"Wha...?" She received a huge shock to her heart, causing her to tremble for a moment in fear; fear of losing him.

"Relax, I'll roam there for some time and come back after some years later." Davis hurriedly replied.

"Years later?" She muttered as she thought absentmindedly, 'How many years would that be... ?'

Looking at her wondering expression, he clutched her soft shoulders and said, "I understand that I'm being unreasonable, but I need you to wait for me..."

Coming back from her reverie, she hurriedly responded, "I.. I'll wait for you! I'll wait for you for an eternity!" Slight tears formed on her misty eyes as she continued, "Just... please come back alive...."

Looking at her misty eyes, he embraced her tightly and uttered with determination, "I will!"

A tear dropped down from her misty eyes. This kind of sudden news was too much for her to bear. She so much wanted to scream 'Don't leave me alone! Stay with me!' but couldn't wish to after hearing his determined voice, nor did she feel that she has the heart to stop his cultivation path.

She had already prepared herself for the separation that was bound to happen when his master would come to take him away but just didn't think it would come sooner in this manner. Her heart felt so fragile that she felt that it would shatter from the heaviness of the feeling of separation. After all, he was her emotional support after being sent away from her family.

"I swear that I will definitely return to marry you one day!" Davis once again declared causing her trembling body to somewhat feel at ease. He knew that this separation might be quite difficult for her. Even he felt incredibly sad at the thought of leaving Evelynn to be alone in this place, but to increase his power he had no choice but to endure this feeling,

"Hmm..." Evelynn bit her lips as she nodded and uttered, "I'll get stronger by the time you come back..."

"That's right!" Davis released her from his embrace as he realised it.

She looked at him in confusion from being suddenly startled by his voice.

"Do your best to raise your cultivation to the Body Transformation Stage! If you can do that, your body will be reformed, making your arm regrow anew!"

Evelynn shook her head, "I know that... but how? With my ta..."

Davis instantly interrupted her, "My family can afford your cultivation resources! You only need to concentrate on cultivating to Body Transformation Stage, and by the time you achieve it, I'll be back. What do you say?" He questioned as he smiled.

She trembled a little as she widened her eyes, "That's not appropriate! I can't use your family's reso..."

"Shut up! Aren't you my wife? Obediently do what I say and reach the Body Transformation Stage. Then I'll return to marry you!" He said as he lifted up her chin with his fingers.

Evelynn was startled while looking at his face which was close. She lifted up her eyebrows and looked at him with a yearning gaze, "Really?"

"I promise!" Davis looked at her misty eyes and solemnly nodded his head.

"Then..." Evelynn closed her eyes as she parted her cherry lips.

Without even a wasting a single second, he instantly sealed her lips with his own, savouring her taste as he greedily kissed.

Moments later, both of their faces were hot with perspiration.

Looking at her enchanting face, he almost got the urge to bed her right now like the last time.

He cleared away such thoughts with immense difficulty and uttered, "I'll leave more than half of my resources with you. So, you'll have more chances of cultivating a grade one core."

Evelynn nodded meekly as she shyly met his gaze and looked away.

Likely, she knew that the only time she couldn't resist his requests or advances was when she is desired by him.

...

The next day.

Davis prepared a lot of things which he needed for the journey and spoke to his family to watch out for each other.

Logan, Claire, Violet and all stood on the platform above the Royal Castle to send him off.

He stood beside the Golden-Horned Wyvern, and caressed its neck, causing it to close its eyes in pleasure.

He chuckled and looked at the two who were behind him, "Evelynn, Clara, I think its time to say goodbye..."

Evelynn bit her lips as she looked at him. She stepped forward and embraced him, causing Davis to wryly laugh.

Sighing gently, he asked, "Remember what I said?"

Evelynn nodded her head while in his embrace while making a sound, "Umm..."

Looking at Clara, he patted her head and said, "Take care of our family, Clara. This job, only you can do this clearly."

Clara nodded her head seriously, but her expression before looked somewhat displeased at the sight of them embracing.

"Davis, the first thing you have to ensure is your own safety! Don't needlessly offend people. Some... Every arrogant individual might needlessly provoke you for no reason, just ignore those bunches until you get stronger." Claire who stood behind worriedly said.

"I know Mom... You've pretty much told me a ton about your world."

At that time when Claire's seal got released, she explained about her world and told so many things that they got tired of it after being excited for a short period of time.

He then nodded to his father, while the latter also nodded at him seriously. As men, they both understood each other's intent well.

Davis laughed gently as he let go of the two of them and jumped on to the Golden-Horned Wyvern, causing it to loudly roar into the sky, "Raaarghhh!"

The Golden-Horned Wyvern took off in a blast and flew quite slowly while Davis kept waving goodbye to his family as he faded off into the distance.

Claire and Evelynn's eyes turned misty from the separation while Clara had a determined expression on her face.

A hand slowly embraced Claire from her back causing her to feel some warmth, although she felt that it was quite unfair.

"Please hear me out..." Logan whispered as he embraced her.

Claire quietly nodded as she took a deep breath.
