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!
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!?"
