Chapter 1081: Ill Still Do It Without Charging! (2/2)
”If Alchemist Davis thinks otherwise, then I'll respectfully decline...!” Sophie Alstreim had her head lowered.
Davis pursed his lips as he could feel her voice tremble a bit. He was aware that he had just broken a maiden's heart. Perhaps, she was almost convinced that he had deeply favored her when he had visited her in this room.
His words just now were nothing more than him pushing her into an abyss.
He inwardly sighed before he turned around and left.
When the door creaked open and closed, Sophie Alstreim still didn't raise her head, but when she did, her eyes were moist while she possessed a melancholic smile on her face.
”Even though I knew it would be like this...” Her lips moved.
'It still hurts...'
She bit her lips before storing the scythe into her spatial ring.
”Nevertheless, since I've taken up this request, I'll make sure to successfully complete it!”
She clenched her fists in determination as she rubbed her moist eyes were her wrist.
Right now, she was rather feeling better about the rejection she had faced because it applied to all women who were here instead of just her. It wasn't that she lost, but it was just, Alchemist Davis had no intentions to accept any of them.
She was rather glad that he didn't turn out to be a jerk who used her for his needs and threw her out when she wasn't needed.
'In truth, Alchemist Davis had no need to explain this to me... The fact that he did tells me that I had made some kind of impact on him...'
Convincing herself, she retrieved her demeanor and moved towards the bath! She still had to clean herself up!
However, she took this as a sign of a new beginning!

After three people showcased their useless skills in the hall where the young generation had gathered, Sophie Alstreim finally came out freshened up, wearing a new white robe that had a different design.
Davis slightly nodded to her as she sat and glanced at him. She gave him back a slight nod.
He could see that she wasn't disheartened anymore, and it made him inwardly release a sigh of relief. Hopefully, this change wouldn't have an impact on the forging process, or even if it did, he hoped that it would be a positive one.
As for how he transferred a spatial ring containing the Grieving Emerald Scythe to his soul body, did he even need to explain?
The youths in front of him were unable to discover that a soul-body always remained concealed around them.
While Davis was wondering how he should politely send them out since he profited, another blonde-haired woman walked towards the center, her demeanor quite haughty while she was oozing out with a feminine charm. Her twin peaks were a bit comparable to Evelynn's as it was just two sizes short.
She smiled at Davis as she pursed her luscious lips, ”I think everyone already knows who I am, but I'll introduce myself again. I'm the vice-leader of the Burning Sea Brigade, and my essence gathering cultivation is at Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage.”
”Diamanda Alstreim is pleased to make your acquaintance once again, Esteemed Alchemist Davis.”
”Diamanda...” Davis called out.
He was already getting a bit exhausted as he didn't feel good about breaking a maiden's heart. If it were any other woman, it wouldn't have made such an impact, but since he liked her character and admired her blacksmithing skills, it did influence his mood a bit.
After witnessing the previous three people showcase their skills, he was no longer interested and wanted to send them out of the Purple Guest Palace.
Now, he was probably going to break a maiden's heart again.
He politely spoke, ”There's no need-”
”Alchemist Davis! I'd like to challenge your wife to a battle exchange!” Diamanda Alstreim quickly relayed her intent before Davis's expression went stiff.
