Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1079 Squealing In Deligh

Ravalat Alstreim held back as he gritted his teeth. He stood up before clasping his hands, a huge clap echoing in reluctance.

"Congratulations on forging a Low-Level King Grade Armament!"

The sound of grinding his teeth could be heard before he obediently sat back. Even though he was deeply angered, he was still aware of what he came here for...

As for Sophie Alstreim, he could harass her anytime when he got the chance. So what if she is a favored granddaughter of a Grand Elder? He could always use others to do his dirty work.

But he knew when to limit himself. He felt that just a bit of harassment that made her suffer would do.

"Oops... I guess I'll retract my statement..." Sophie Alstreim giggled, clearly becoming elated with her efforts being acknowledged, whether forced or not.

"Congratulations on becoming a Low-Level King Grade Blacksmith!"

The next moment, everyone chorally congratulated her. Even though their voices eye filled with reluctance like Ravalat Alstreim, their intent clearly echoed across, making Sophie Alstreim nod in satisfaction.

"I think I was able to entertain everyone and, most importantly, Alchemist Davis and his wife Evelynn but nevertheless... I shall return to my seat!"

Sophie Alstreim turned her back towards Alchemist Davis and walked. It was as if she was carefree, not caring about earning his favor.

"Do you not want it back?" Davis flipped the Grieving Emerald Dagger through the air before it landed back into his grasp. He was a bit amused as he thought that she got carried away by the praises and forgot to take back the armament.

However, Sophie Alstreim shook her head.

Davis became astonished, "You really don't want it back?"

"Yes." Sophie Alstreim answered, "Although the armament I forged is a bit flawed, I'd still love to gift again to Evelynn. I think it would suit her well!"

Claudius Alstreim, who was nodding in appreciation by the side, had his eyes widened abruptly!

'Damn it, Sophie!!! At least give this to Alchemist Davis!!!'

'Me again!?' Evelynn couldn't help but giggle, "Hehehe..."

Her laughter had everyone knowing why Alchemist Davis preferred her!

Looking at her big bosoms tremble, they understood that she was a vixen through and through!

However, everyone sneered at Sophie Alstreim. It was understandable that she chose the route of a concubine, but...

A man of Alchemist Davis's caliber would never digest being slighted twice!

Gifting his woman in his presence was an outstanding move, but gifting her twice would be like provoking the man as it is not giving him face! If Sophie Alstreim was a man right now, she would've incurred the wrath of Alchemist Davis as he would think that Sophie Alstreim is trying to woo his wife!

"Sophie, you are indeed a woman of culture!" Davis nodded in approval, "I was just thinking about how this dagger would suit Evelynn, and you understood me very well!"

"..."

The hall suddenly became silent.

'What the...?'

Everyone became flabbergasted.

Instead of becoming irritated, who does Alchemist Davis seem as if he was elated?

"Uh..." Although Sophie Alstreim didn't know what a 'woman of culture' meant, she still smilingly took his praise, "I am pleased to know that I could understand even a bit of your esteemed person's thoughts."

Evelynn didn't say anything. She accepted the Grieving Emerald Dagger from Davis with both of her hands before she gave a deep look at it.

She knew why her husband named it this way, and perhaps if her thoughts were right, the reason was because of her!

Actually, Davis did indeed confirm that it was for her with his statement.

She knew that Davis possessed the Grieving Emerald Scythe, which is made up of a bit of Emerald Indic Steel, and this dagger was completely made up of the same material if one were to disregard the impurities from the ore.

She could tell that it was likely that her husband was of the mindset to buy this dagger from Sophie Alstreim to gift her.

Evelynn felt a throb in her heart despite knowing that it was not Davis but Sophie Alstreim who gifted her. Her mind couldn't help but register this gift as something given by Davis instead. After all, the scythe and the dagger they possessed were a lot like a set!

Indeed, Davis was of the mind to purchase it for Evelynn so that they could have a set like a couple. He became elated that Evelynn looked satisfied before he turned to look at Sophie Alstreim.

"Your robes are stained because of your hard work. I suggest that you change in an empty room on this floor."

Sophie Alstreim became taken aback. She was already heating herself up with her essence energy, drying herself up, but it was not as if the sweat would just disappear into thin air.

As a woman, she felt uncomfortable to be like this in public as she knew that she might stink despite not having many impurities in her body.

Only a few knew that she was also a blacksmith in the past, and she didn't prefer to be near people after forging and sweating a lot, so she was glad that Alchemist Davis was a thoughtful person who could understand her plight.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony then..." She respectfully clasped her hands before she flew to the direction which Alchemist Davis pointed at.

A young man suddenly jumped into the fray and clasped his hands, "I will also display my blacksmithing skills! Although it wouldn't be as skillf-"

"No, do something else... " Davis quickly replied, causing that young man's expression to freeze.

Why did he feel like he was harshly rejected? He was not even a woman, for heaven's sake!

======

Sophie Alstreim opened the room to a random door and entered before she securely closed it. She then turned around and noticed that the big room was empty, devoid of anything but a few chairs and a single bed.

She looked at the side and noticed that there was a way to the bathroom, but before she even took a step forward, she used her Mid-Level Young Soul Stage soul sense to thoroughly check the entire area of the room.

Realizing and confirming that there was no one here, she relaxed her shoulders and let out a sigh.

Now that she was all alone, she wondered what the heck she was doing out there!

She, who had never been actively social, tried her best to garner favor from the opposite gender for the first time in her life. Her heart was literally beating fast whenever he praised her, and she even tried to deny his praises, but he kept iterating otherwise.

Not only did he praise but made the others acknowledge her efforts!

It made her so feel damn happy!

'I never thought being praised by the person I... like would feel this good...!'

Sophie Alstreim finally accepted that she liked him in her heart.

However, she calmed down.

'I did all I could, and it's up to the heavens to show me the way...'

She shook her head and walked towards the bathroom. She grasped her robes and started to remove them, but she suddenly turned around.

"Who!?"
