Davis smiled at Tanya Frostblight. It looks like she had witnessed one or two cases by herself.
"Stop with your baseless and senseless accusations. The Falling Snow Sect doesn't resort to such measures." Elder Enye yelled.
"So you do accept that you people separate couples in the name of 'making their future better' when all you people do is die for the sect instead of living your lives." Davis chuckled.
Elder Enye increasingly frowned. The words she heard were grating to her ears, but it suddenly pulled a heartstring, making her unable to refute his words. She shook her head out of these confusing thoughts and spoke out loud.
"Enough, if you truly care about Natalya, then you should what decision to mak-"
"I decline!" An unrestrained voice interrupted Elder Enye, causing her and everyone to look towards the source of the voice.
Natalya clenched her fists as she shouted out loud, "I already said that I would stay by my husband. My future rests with him and only him! If I am unable to become an expert in the future, then fine! I won't bicker with the heavens and lament my fate! As long as I stay with him, I am content!"
Elder Enye's brows furrowed.
Observing that stubborn expression, she could tell that Natalya wasn't kidding. In fact, she could tell that this child has already fallen deeply into the confines of love. In her opinion, such people were destined to stagnate with their lives becoming temporarily content.
That said, if she were to forcefully her from her husband, it would give her a heart demon and make her unable or harder to cultivate instead. Her mindset would be ruined, and she might even take revenge on the Falling Snow Sect once she grew up with its resources.
She would become a so-called renegade cultivator who would try to go against the sect's rules. She had seen such crazy women in the past!
Elder Enye let out a sigh before moving her lips "So be it..."
"If you have the heart to pursue your cultivation career, then the Falling Snow Sect welcomes you anytime as long as you can convince them or abandon them."
Natalya simply clasped her hand and was about to leave the battle platform when a distressed voice echoed.
"Wait!"
Natalya turned to look at Tanya Frostblight with a questioning look.
"W-Why do you devote yourself to him? Do you really not care about your cultivation career? If you were to be in danger, only your cultivation base could save you!" Tanya Frostblight asked.
Her expression looked as if she was genuinely looked worried.
Natalya smilingly shook her head, "I don't have grand aspirations as you do... I might have some talent like you all tell, but if that talent can't help me attain happiness, what use is that so-called talent?"
"I, Natalya, am born to experience bliss. If I can attain true bliss and were to die, then my life is content. If I were to wait till my cultivation reaches the peak, and if I were to suddenly die without experiencing that bliss, for what reason was I actually born?"
"My husband is my bliss! I'll say this again. If I can be with him and die at some point, then my life is content!" Natalya declared.
It was as if she hated that there were not many people to watch her declare her marriage vow at that time when she married Davis, using this chance to make a vow in front of a huge crowd.
She said it with such conviction that it left the crowd speechless and a bit moved!
Tanya Frostblight became stumped and didn't know what to say. On the other hand, Elder Enye sighed.
She perceived that Natalya is one of the worst types of women a woman could become! Falling in love hopelessly and even going as far as to lose sight of cultivation. However, she also felt a tinge of emotions in her heart that she had sealed long ago.
She didn't realize that she was just jealous!
To be able to feel such strong emotions for another... and for that emotions to be reciprocated.
Not all people possessed that kind of bliss.
"You... W-What if your bliss abandons you!?" Tanya Frostblight seemed as if she saw an unknown side of her friend, but that instead worried her.
"Rather than chasing numerous tails, I will stick to a single head! Although I'm convinced that I wouldn't be abandoned, if it were to really happen as you say, then that's that!"
*Pahh!~*
Natalya simply performed a gesture by forming a circle with her hands and instantly compressed it, generating a slapping sound.
It was the suicidal gesture for one to self-destruct their revolving core.
Her answer was completely decisive, which left a deep impression on everyone's subconscious.
Madwoman! She's definitely a mad woman! Furthermore, a foolish woman.
This thought echoed in the intellectuals' minds, and the women in the crowd felt deep disdain for her. However, the men felt jealous that there was a woman who was willing to love her man to this level.
If they were to have a woman like that, then they felt that they also might have the chance to feel fulfilled.
Davis, who was looking at Natalya with a moved expression, felt a little uncomfortable by the number of stares he was receiving. He felt as if he was killed many times in people's heads.
However, at the same time, he sighed.
He knew that Natalya was stubborn and suicidal, but he didn't know that she was this suicidal!
Fortunately, at that time, he had given in to his lust.
Otherwise, if he had rejected her advances, would she have killed herself, giving him an unwarranted sense of guilt to carry?
He thought that he was a deviant, but he didn't think that she would be one as well.
"What about our promise? I am still looking forward to the future... Wouldn't you become... weaker?"
"Hehehe!" Natalya suddenly laughed.
Tanya Frostblight became taken aback before her expression faded.
Did this mean that they were not friends anymore since she declined the invitation from Falling Snow Sect?
"Don't worry. We're still friends..." Natalya said while laughing.
It took a while for her to stop her laughter, but it managed to make Tanya Frostblight's shoulders relax.
"Look..." Natalya possessed a hearty expression on her face, "Who said that I would become weaker?"
"What I'm going to say would come off as rude, but I will still say it. As long as I don't die, then even Eighth Stage Experts would have to look up to me in the future!"
"You're just posing!" Tanya Frostblight blurted out.
On the other hand, Elder Enye sighed.
She didn't deny that Natalya would become someone she would look up to as long as she obtained valid resources and better training.
This was why she was willing to lose face and earn the ire of the crowd to recruit Natalya, but if Natalya were to lose conviction and the will to cultivate, then there would be no meaning in recruiting her.
Hence, she decisively left the decision for Natalya to make.
Natalya didn't comment on it, "Perhaps, we'll meet again in the future. Goodbye."
At this time, behind Natalya, there were countless threads of concealed soul force that slowly pulled back before they all went back into Davis's soul sea.
Davis smiled as he looked at Tanya Frostblight. He had been prepared for Tanya Frostblight to suddenly backstab Natalya, but it looks like he had been overly cautious.
