Alia looked at Elmer with a dumbfounded expression.
"You stopped me, just to say that?"
She looked at him with her brows furrowed, this was the first time she has heard that she looked beautiful from a male.
She wasn't sure how she should feel.
"Yes, I think Miss Alia is beautiful," Elmer said again just to make sure that system understands that he has completed the mission.
Alia took in a deep breath at his words, she was confused, and suddenly her heart started moving a bit fast as blood started collecting in her cheeks.
However, she quickly controlled her composure and nodded.
"Are you stupid?! Just go and cultivate before I turn angry. If you have time for useless stuff like this then you should cultivate instead!"
She said and ran off to the top floor as if someone has stepped on her tail.
She wasn't sure how she must react as this was her first time getting such blatant attention from the opposite gender.
Although she was a peerless beauty, no one dared to even look at her because of her resting cold face and her even dangerous master.
And now this guy has came forward, not afraid of her and her master, and expressed his feelings.
Elmer looked at her disappearing figure and heaved a sigh of relief.
"I almost died today, but what's with her? Why did she run away like that?" He wondered for a bit, however soon he stopped caring and looked at the mission panel.
....
On the top floor of the Red Bamboo Pagoda, in a room, which was larger than any other room in the building, stood a lady with her face completely red.
If others saw her then they would be bewildered at her expression, how could the cold beauty of the sect blush so much, it was unlike her.
"That stupid brat! Why do I feel so flustered?!" Alia sat on her bed and memories of previous events flooded her brain.
"Why does he have to be so blunt, it was my first time!" She thought about how she ran away from him and even reprimanded him.
She now regretted that she scolded him, 'Should I have thanked him instead?'
Pain filled her heart as she remembered the previous events, she was too impulsive and reacted harshly.
As she is not used to treatment like this and all her life she focused on being cold and strong when a situation like this occurred her old habit surfaced and impulsively she rebuked him.
"Will he think I am a bad person?" More and more thoughts filled her mind, disturbing her peace.
"Why I am overthinking so much, it could be just an act of goodwill from him." Taking in a deep breath she circulated her Qi and calmed her body down.
However, soon enough the thought of Elmer surfaced in her brain again.
"I am so stupid, I should have thanked him instead."
....
Ignorant of Alia's condition, Elmer was sitting in his room, on the soft white futon.
His eyes look at the hovering texts in front of him.
[ Congratulations Host on completing your first mission.

[Inventory]
Elmer called out and saw another panel flashing in front of him, there were many small columns in the panel and almost all of them were empty except the first one, with, the image of a mysterious-looking dagger.
Elmer took out the dagger from the inventory and could instantly feel the cold sensation seeping through it.
Soon enough information about this dagger popped up in front of him.
[Soul Crushing Dagger- Forged by an Empyrean Immortal, this dagger could cut through flesh and bones like it's cutting through the air. The tip of the dagger is made so sharp that it could even slice souls in half. Hence the name soul-crushing dagger.]
Elmer looked at the information about the dagger and a smile formed on his face. This was a high-grade treasure, it will help him become the strongest in the world.
"I will test this dagger out later."
He then placed the soul-crushing dagger back in the inventory.
His eyes then landed on his character panel.
