Chapter 1074: Gifts Received (1/2)

”Alchemist Davis... If this Undaunted Purple Lotus Petal is a High-Level King Grade Ingredient, then doesn't that mean...?” Ravalat Alstreim was unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to know the reason why Alchemist Davis would react a bit shaken to the inferior ingredient.

Davis perfunctorily smiled, ”You are better off without having to know the reason, but I do dare say that just a petal of the Undaunted Purple Lotus doesn't amount to anything special. It should be equal to the gifts you two presented.”

Both Ravalat Alstreim and Kayan Alstreim smirked in acceptance. As two fellow leaders, they hated losing the most!

In the back, Weiss Alstreim chuckled a bit, not minding being equalized with these two. However, it would be a problem if Alchemist Davis rated his gift any lower. He didn't mind the intricacies and just laid back over his seat, his eyes roaming around the beauties who sat around the hall,

Indeed, the Undaunted Purple Lotus Petal could be ranked equal to the Implacable Light Fruit and the Cloud Fang Grass. Davis didn't even know if the petal he was given were an upper-tier, mid-tier, or a lower-tier petal. However, since Weiss Alstreim claimed that it is one of the five petals, it should mean that the petal he gave should be part of the upper-tier.

Following the three of them, another person arrived in front of him.

It was none other than Kayale Alstreim.

Kayale Alstreim's expression was rather stiff; her cheeks were blushing from both embarrassment and shame. It wasn't like she had never given gifts to people before, but this marks the first time she was trying to gift to a romantic target and that to someone who happened to be three times the lesser age as her.

While she was feeling confident, now that she stood in front of him and everyone's gaze was concentrated on her, she felt her face heating up like the flames she conjured.

”Al!- A-Alchemist Davis! I have brought a g-gift to congratulate you!!!” She extended a jade box and deeply bowed to hide the embarrassment caused by stuttering.

While many people snickered, the members of the Burning Sea Brigade wore shocked expressions on their faces. They never expected their fierce vice-leader to have a side like this!

After all the scoldings and lashings she had given them, she seemed to have been finally tamed.

Somehow, they felt betrayed.

Davis amicably smiled as he accepted the jade box and opened it. A purplish arm-guard appeared in his view. It had intricate white-lines marking it, making it give off a sense of security.

He blinked as he raised his head to look at the still bowing Kayale Alstreim, ”Is this a Peak-Level King Grade Protective Artifact?”

”Yes... It is able to defend against the attacks of Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivators...” Kayale Alstreim visibly blushed as she saw his musing expression. Her lips trembled a bit, wanting to know the answer to her underlying intent but noticing that he didn't understand the significance, she secretly gestured to Kayan Alstreim.

”Haha, Alchemist Davis. It seems you have managed to earn the beauty's admiration.”

”Mhm?” Davis let out a confused sound.

Kayan Alstreim explained, ”In the Alstreim Family, whenever a woman gifts an arm-guard to a man, particularly a Protective Artifact, it means that she has agreed to become that man's woman.”

”Oh, it is quite similar to how a mortal woman would present her man with a protective charm...” Davis nodded as if he understood.

”Uh... Yes...” Kayan Alstreim felt a bit embarrassed.

Now that Alchemist Davis actually mentioned it, he could find the similarity, but that wasn't the point! He had made it clear that Kayale Alstreim is prepared to become his woman, but Alchemist Davis still hadn't said anything about it!

Meanwhile, Davis felt a headache coming his way. He was looking for a way that he could politely decline, but looking at the shy and expectant face of the woman in front of him, he knew that he would have to trample on her feelings.

It was inevitable that he would offend by turning down a beauty's favor, but since he had the upper hand in status, they would not likely pursue him even if he offended her.

Indeed, Kayale Alstreim remained expectant of his next few words, thinking that she would be accepted than any other woman present over here.
