2346: Stiff Hiding

Stiff Hiding

"Then can I undergo tribulation in our estate?" Ancestor Cornelia continued to question.0

"I see no problem with Ancestor Cornelia undergoing tribulation in your estate."

Davis nodded.

The only reason he and Evelynn went outside the city was that their immortal tribulations were ridiculous and would easily attract attention from the people nearby and beyond.

It wouldn't certainly be the case for Ancestor Cornelia, so he was fine with it.

Moreover, when they were outside walking in the streets, they could certainly see the dark tribulation clouds in the distance, but that was it.

They didn't know where it exactly came from as the city itself was massive, spanning hundreds of kilometers, making it so that it was impossible to see or sense much other than the vague existence of dark clouds.

If it was a stormy night, a person practically wouldn't be able to differentiate a normal dark cloud from a heavenly tribulation dark cloud if they were not at an adequate distance, much less if they could sense its aura and the adequate distance depended on how far they could see and sense with their cultivations.

Hearing Davis's approval, Ancestor Cornelia smiled brightly.

"Then I'll not burden you and go somewhere else. The Alstreim's are hidden here after all."

Davis blinked before he shook his head, "No, I want you to cross your immortal tribulation here as I sensed eyes on this estate when I exited and returned. Most likely, it is the other estates fearing why this estate is so silent. Your husband hasn't gone to the other estates to gift them some goodies as neighbors, did he?"

"I… guess not..." Ancestor Cornelia became taken aback but still answered, causing Davis to nod.

"Most likely, they think that this estate is used for some suspicious purpose. After all, the situation outside remains in disarray with the City Lord dead. We should let our neighbors know that it's not suspicious by having one of us undergo a heavenly tribulation which is a conspicuous matter and done by powers living here all the time."

"Then, after disguising yourself with heavy makeup that they think you're rather off the board as you disgust their elite taste, you return and never make contact with them again while the other party says to themselves that it's a good riddance..."

"Of course, you don't need to do all this, granny." Davis kept running off his mouth without a stop.

"The Alstreims are too stiff and silent when it comes to hiding. After all, while the twins outside seemed to be gathering information, in truth, they haven't said anything about themselves, which leads to greater suspicion from the other guards which they would report to their masters."

"I mean, when you're lying, you need to mix in some truth in lies to make it seem believable. In the same way, when you're hiding something, you need to distract them with other things, making them feel that they've gotten those irrelevant things when in reality, they would lose sight of that something you're trying to hide."

"In our case, just showing our neighbors a simple immortal tribulation would be enough to say that we're not doing anything funny. So, granny, please do undergo your immortal tribulation here."

"…" Ancestor Cornelia's expression was pretty much blank.

She had been a top disciple, a Sect Master, and an Ancestor, but she didn't know the intricacies between neighbors and stuff as she never lived that way.

She only knew of the sect life, but still, she couldn't help but admire him.

"Child, you truly are excellent..."

"Hehe~ Feel free to praise my husband more~"

Shirley pounced on Davis as she held his arm. After all, for a spoiled princess like her, what he said was also foreign, causing her to admire him.

On the other hand, Lea had gone through many intricacies as she had to avoid and evade the major families of the Burning Phoenix Ridge, so although she didn't find these intricacies foreign, she couldn't help but still want to hear more praises about the man she chose from the others as she possessed a deep smile on her face.

Davis had no comment.

Whether he was excellent or not really depended upon the situation and the amount of preparation he could have. Even after he said all that, something could still go wrong, but he was willing to take the risk since he sensed more gazes when he returned than when he exited.

It was bizarre and even slightly unnerving as he felt that those gazes were most likely the stares from strong immortals.

"Alright, Ancestor Cornelia can cross your immortal tribulation within three days, preferably when the sun is high up in the skies since you're a fire-attributed magical beast."

"That's also the best time for me to undergo immortal tribulation, according to my inherited memories. Furthermore, this would make it seem more credible, hiding the truth behind a blend of truth and lies."

"Indeed."

Davis and Ancestor Cornelia nodded to each other, finally deciding upon a time before the latter disappeared from the palace and hurriedly left, obviously intent on displaying her long-lost beauty to her husband.

In Lea's accommodation, Davis stayed for a while, flirting with the master and disciple for a while as he made them blush enough. However, Lea excused herself, citing that she needed to remain celibate for fifteen years so that she could create an Immortal Egg in her womb to have his immortal child, leaving him and Shirley alone in her room.

It was a big concession on her part to allow her disciple to have fun with her man in her own bedroom, causing Davis and Shirley's hearts to throb.

Shirley had already given birth to Eterna, so her intention to remain celibate for fifteen years wasn't as much as the others who didn't have a child or remained chaste.

However, Shirley abruptly took out something and slashed at him.

*Ting!~*

Davis captured that something with his fingers, causing him to raise his brows before his pupils dilated.

He had captured the tip of a pitch-black curved blade. The base of the curved blade seemed to have been connected to a purplish-black staff that Shirley held.

It was undoubtedly a scythe.

However, the thing that shocked him was that the blade was undeniably releasing… death energy!
