Chapter 1147 High-Level Martial Master Stage

Sophie Alstreim’s eyes widened, and her purple eyes dilated as she saw the handsome face that she didn’t think of meeting here, especially at this Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago. She instantly became aware that the sight she was viewing wasn’t some illusion. It was undoubtedly him who was present in front of her and possibly the same person who had saved her from the Amberal-Armored Armadillos.

Sophie Alstreim had gone stiff in realizing all of this, and the close contact that she had with him made her incapable of pushing him away, almost as if her heart wanted to see what he would do next.

It was as if time had frozen for her alone as it was abnormally silent.

"Are you alright?" Davis abruptly killed the silence as he pulled her waist to make her stand straight before he let her go and smiled, "You forgot to add the honorific ’Alchemist’ when addressing my name..."

"I..." Sophie Alstreim went beet red. She scrambled to search for some answer as her hands shook, but she was unable to give an excuse.

"I’m sorry... Alchemist Davis." She helplessly added as she lowered her head.

Then, she noticed that her wet robes were the reason that Alchemist Davis had scanned her figure with his eyes! It wasn’t see-through, but it still accentuated her curves!

Sophie Alstreim instantly turned around to hide her tantalizing bosoms but ended up revealing her perky butt instead. She realized this point a second later and dived into the room before closing the door on him!

Her back fell over the door as she screamed, "Please give me a minute!"

Her legs gave out as she slid down the door, but then she also realized that her heart was beating so fast that she delusionally felt that everyone could hear it, making her cheeks become crimson red in embarrassment!

’No! no! no! no! Why is Alchemist Davis here!?’ Sophie Alstreim shook her head as she brought her knees to her face and enclosed her legs with her arms, hiding her face in it.

Simultaneously, the surroundings became hotter as she used her flame energy, feeling her robes becoming dried up. Abruptly, she recalled the feeling of one of his arms wrapping around her waist and the palm she felt over the fabric of her robe.

Her lips trembled, and her heart fluttered as she imagined the warmth generated on that particular location, but she instantly shook her head.

Once she calmed down after a few seconds, she thought of standing up and opening the door, but her courage wasn’t still up to her normal self. This situation was just too bizarre that she didn’t know what to make of it, nor did she know how to suddenly face him.

======

Davis wryly smiled a bit as she closed the door, wondering why she was overreacting.

Was he that big of a presence in her life? Or was she just shy of her being seen in wet clothes? Funnily enough, this situation also made him think that last time, she was sweaty from forging, and yet this time, she was wet from the rain.

If there were some bystanders present here other than Nadia, he wanted to say that this was not his fault!

In any case, he was satisfied with the day’s result. It should be night time outside, but in the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago, it was always night as dark clouds surrounded the area. He felt cultivation this day should be enough.

Sophie Alstreim bit her lips before she nodded her head, "Thank you."

She then looked towards the right and became taken aback to see that there was a stunning woman. She instantly realized who it was as she knew about the King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf named Nadia and her abnormally beautiful human form.

"Hello..." Her lips moved, and she regretted the next moment.

What was she doing, trying to initiate a conversation with a King Beast Stage Magical Beast?

’Hopefully, I didn’t enter her eyes...’ Sophie Alstreim relaxed, but she instantly jerked.

"Behave properly in front of my master..." Nadia warned as she comfortably lay on the sofa, her eyes flashing with a golden gleam.

"Yes..." Sophie Alstreim forced a smile as she avoided Nadia’s gaze.

She looked at the opposite sofa and approached before she sat and abruptly felt doubtful, ’Wait... Master...?’

’Isn’t Nadia the Dragon Queen’s Magical Beast Mount...?’ She felt confused, but Davis suddenly sat beside her, causing her to become stiff for a moment.

She looked around with her pupils and saw that these two sofas were the only sitting space, so she came to know that it wasn’t intentional, which in turn made her promptly relax.

"Sophie, what are you doing here?"

"Ahh!" Sophie Alstreim instantly realized before she stood up, her body facing him as she bowed, "Thank you for saving me. I didn’t think that those Amberal-Armored Armadillos would have the audacity to entrap me."

"Is this related to the list they were talking about?" Davis asked in curiosity.

"Yes..." Sophie Alstreim replied, "Every Magical Beast Species living in the Alstreim Thunder Island has come under the rule of the Alstreim Family, so they have to pay tributes to be left existing. The list, also called the not-to-kill list, is almost known to all magical beasts of this island, so it is unlikely for the Alstreim Family’s young elites to die or be even harmed. That’s why this island is also the safest zone in the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago."

"I see..." Davis came to see more with her statement.

"Still, I didn’t think that these armadillos would be this audacious enough to entrap me till I almost die of exhaustion. I’m definitely reporting this to the Elders after I return." Sophie Alstreim gritted her teeth as her purple eyes flashed with indignation.

Davis smiled at her adorable appearance. He considered for a moment before he spoke, "Don’t bother. I already killed their lord and those armadillos who brought you, screaming that you were a sacrifice."

Sophie Alstreim became shocked, her lips trembling, "Sacrifice...?"

"Yes, sacrifice..." Davis calmly nodded, "It seemed that the lord of the Amberal-Armored Armadillos, a Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast known as Gaisha, was in cahoots with Weiss Alstreim in exchange for mutual benefits."

"These magical beasts didn’t know that Weiss Alstreim ended up dead, so they still hunted for ’sacrifices’, and if I am right, you, the woman who was alone, prevailed to be the perfect target for them." He shook his head before he looked at her, "You understand, right?"

Davis didn’t explicitly mention, but Sophie Alstreim’s expression severely trembled as she realized the meaning of the word, sacrifice!

Anyone who knew Weiss Alstreim’s dark character could instantly connect the dots!
