Chereads / The Armor Thief / Chapter 6 - The Awkward Moment

Chapter 6 - The Awkward Moment

Just like the Adventurer's Guild, the Alchemist's House is just what it sounds like.

 

At first, Finn was going to get something to eat after leaving home. But when he passed the Alchemist's House, he suddenly remembered there was a woman waiting for him inside, so he went in.

 

The Alchemist's House is where alchemists live and it's also their temporary lab. Just like adventurers can take and hand in quests at the Adventurer's Guild, alchemists can do all kinds of experiments at the Alchemist's House. Although both the Adventurer's Guild and the Alchemist's House are places for similar people to gather, the status of adventurers and alchemists is really different. Adventurers are pretty much nobodies until they reach a certain high level. But even the lowest - level alchemist is someone that all the big powers want. No wonder some people compare the Alchemist's House to a palace and the Adventurer's Guild to the toilets in that palace.

 

Because he was shocked by the materials needed to upgrade to Level 3 Body Multiplication, Finn wasn't in the mood to admire how grand the Alchemist's House was. He greeted the guards at the door in a daze, then drifted all the way to the third lab where Miss Mu was. He opened the door and froze. There was an ice pick right in front of him, the sharp tip less than a centimeter from his forehead. What made him even more nervous was that the woman holding the ice pick was staring right at him.

 

"Uh... sorry, I forgot to knock." This woman's body was so attractive, like a black hole. Although Finn, that naughty guy, wondered if this body would move in a wild way like some really hot person when she danced or something, he couldn't enjoy looking at this beautiful body with an ice pick at his forehead. Looking at a beautiful woman is nice, but his life was more important. All he could think about now was how to get rid of that ice pick.

 

"Come back here!" When she saw it was Finn, the woman smiled cutely. With a wave of her hand, the ice pick in the air turned into a pile of ice chips, and the temperature in the room seemed to rise a lot all of a sudden.

 

"I'll go out first. I'll come back in when you're dressed." Finn couldn't handle Miss Mu being naked in front of him like that.

 

From a man's point of view, Miss Mu's body was definitely beautiful and nice to look at. But for Finn, facing a beautiful woman that he could only look at but not touch, or that it might be dangerous to touch, was torture, not pleasure.

 

From past experiences, Finn knew that this woman with the beautiful body wasn't a gentle one. She was as dangerous as a wolf in sheep's clothing. For safety, he didn't even care anymore about why this strange and beautiful alchemist didn't like to wear clothes when doing experiments.

 

"Why are you leaving? You've seen it before. Don't play dumb!" The girl just gave Finn a look while she was naked, and Finn felt weak all over, like he'd been shocked by electricity. If he wasn't already a bit anemic, his nose would probably be bleeding by now.

 

"I'd better leave. Let's get dressed and talk later." Finn shook his head, trying to stay calm, and then backed out of the door, bent over. He was bent over not because he respected Miss Mu, but because he had an embarrassing physical reaction down there.

 

"Finn, am I that unappealing to you? Come back here. If you step out of this door, I'll scream 'rape'. You should know what'll happen if you're accused of raping an alchemist. If I really shout it out, even if you run to the Blood Feather Empire, I'll make sure you can't live in peace." When using her beauty didn't work, the woman changed her tune right away.

 

"Uh... Miss Mu, why are we doing this?" Finn thought, if just looking could satisfy him, he'd have been satisfied to death long ago. He wanted to run away, but there's no test in this world that could prove his innocence. So Finn held back his urge to rush out the door. He stopped at the doorway with an awkward smile, not knowing whether to go in, go out, stand up straight, or stay bent over. Facing this crazy woman who changed moods faster than you can turn a page was more stressful than facing a hundred Silver - Maned Demon Leopards in Ghost Mist Ridge.

 

"What did you call me? Miss Mu? You damned guy. You've seen my whole body, and you still call me Miss Mu? Bastard! Try calling me that again if you dare!" The woman's eyes widened, she pouted her lips and puffed out her cheeks, looking like a little girl throwing a tantrum. But on her face, this expression looked so natural and cute, not fake at all.

 

"Fiona, let's get dressed and have a nice talk, okay?" Finn felt like he was going crazy from the torture. The more charming this woman was, the more he suffered. He'd rather see nothing than be in this situation where he could look but not touch and be so frustrated.
