Chapter 951 Taking Responsibility
Chapter 951 Taking Responsibility
Ace landed on a small, barren island and merrily questioned the system, “Now that Eva has a breakthrough in the Law Comprehension Realm, can I let her out?” “[Yes, she can no longer draws the attention of the [Natural Order].] Thrilled, with a thought, Eva’s enthralling figure appeared in front of him. She wore a black flowery dress, and her goddess-like features were even more sharp and alluring. Furthermore, the runic crown on her head and runic lines on his arms were completely gone as she now appeared completely normal except for her devilish eyes that could charm anyone. This was proof that she was now in complete control of her bloodline.
Eva smiled, brightened the secrecy around her when she saw Ace, and felt the worldly air after a long time. “So, I’m free?” She asked coquettishly, as she had been waiting for this day for a long time now. Without her bloodline and the resources, she would’ve never had a breakthrough so quickly, and it was also like a dream to her since she had never expected herself to be able to reach this realm. All of this was possible because she met this man in front of her, the love of her life. Ace smiled gently and couldn’t help but capture her alluring red lips with his, making her moan in surprise. But she didn’t resist and passionately metaled into him while wrapping her arms around his neck. His hands couldn’t resist the temptation to play with her big breast, making her moan lusciously. Soon, the entire island was covered in a barrier, and no one could see their passionate love. Days passed just like that as both Ace and Eva indulged in each other. It was a rare moment of peace and love, especially for Ace. In the nighttime, the two of them gazed at the starry sky while cuddling in each other arms. Eva looked even more graceful as she lay on his muscular chest and couldn’t help but tenderly ask, “Tell me, what are you up to?” She knew about his seclusion for nine years, but she had no idea about what was happening out in the world. Now that she was finally free, she wanted to help him like she always had. Ace didn’t hide anything and told her about the merging and his current goal related to the Mortal Sky Heart Empire. But he still didn’t tell her about the Heaven’s Stealer matter and his recent encounter with the beggar because he knew she would be worried and might do something silly. Eva was bewildered by the merging, as she didn’t expect that the map was hiding a lock, and this empire greatly fascinated her. She was someone who liked adventures and always wanted to roam the world, and now she wanted to do the same with Ace. “So, once you get this treasure from this empire, you need to ascend right away?” She asked with a thoughtful look. Ace nodded as he looked in the starry sky with anticipation and nostalgia, “Yes. I never expected there would come a day when I would have a chance to leave the Golden Sky World. Heh, I didn’t even know there was another place except our world. We have come a long way from the tiny River Flower City, haven’t we?” Eva was also nostalgic as her past was now like a dream to her, “Indeed, I was a slave, and you were a mortal dishwasher.” She couldn’t help but giggle while reminiscent. Ace smiled, reminiscing about his life as a mortal. It was like a terrible yet one of his cherished memories. He was already over forty years old, which was akin to half the life of a mortal. “It’s a pity we have to leave.” Ace sighed, as deep down he knew he would never get to live a peaceful life, and he also didn’t want that. Now, he really liked his thievish life filled with adventures despite there being danger at every corner. Eva stated playfully, “I don’t mind a life of adventure as long as it is with you. Besides, how would you search for beauties if you stayed in one place?” Ace felt wronged as he had never done anything like this, and he knew Eva was just taunting him, “You’re still accusing me unjustifiably. In my heart, you are the most beautiful.” Eva felt happiness blooming in her heart, but she jokingly said, “Said that in front of Alina, I dare you.”
“She is also beautiful, and you can’t deny that. Especially once she emerged after her bloodline change.” Ace replied teasingly. Eva slapped his chest gently and pretended to be fierce, “Scoundrel!” Ace grinned before he thought of something and said seriously, “After Alina comes out, I’m going to accept Noa’s feelings. What do you think about it?” Eva suddenly looked at him sternly, “She’s the first house member, the assassin, right? Is she pretty?” Ace smiled bitterly as he knew this was coming, “Truthfully, I have only seen her once, and at that time, her face was disfigured because she had applied some kind of poison on it to protect her purity from her mortal enemy. But I’m pretty sure she had healed now after she started the body tempering. She has a cold personality and always wears a mask, and I respect her privacy like everyone else.” Eva’s eyes narrowed as it was her first time hearing this about Noa, she didn’t know about the house members’ past. “Then why? Do you like her, or does she like you?” She asked. 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶
Ace smiled helplessly, “The latte and I also respect her. I’m not so dense to not notice it. Furthermore, after I think about it more carefully, the house members are bound to my life, and they can’t betray or leave the thief house unless they are dead. “They can’t have a normal, peaceful life, and even if they love someone, they will always be people of two different worlds. It’s unfair for them since I was the one who dragged them into this. “Although the conditions were perilous when I tricked them into saving my own skin, it doesn’t mean they are my slaves. So, I’ve decided to give them solace in any way I could, and Noa probably wanted this for a long time now. If this could make her happy, then why not.” Eva fell into silence as she could feel his guilt in those words, “Why are you thinking it was your fault? You have to do what you did to protect yourself, and they also get many things out of it, no?
“Without you, they would’ve never even dreamt of all this, so stop feeling guilty. If you ask me, I think they are pretty happy. As for their love lives, I think you should make a move on all of them, not just Noa. This way, they will be absolutely loyal to you, and they will be doing everything voluntarily.” She said solemnly. 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Ace was speechless since he wasn’t expecting this response!
