957 The Devil’s Temptation

Entering the gray radiation mist, Ace was extremely alarmed because even he could sense just how dense the radiation mist was, and even a law awareness realm cultivator might not last for more than a week in this place.

Ace didn’t know how this much mist came into being or why it wasn’t spreading and static in this place like some fixed boundary. But one thing was clear: it was hiding something.

Thankfully for Ace, this mist didn’t affect him as it was only slightly uncomfortable, like he was flying through fine ash. Furthermore, his robes and other treasures, which were driven on the heavenly Qi, were also not affected by that corroding effect of radiation, so he didn’t need to worry about them at all. 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝓶

But Ace soon realizes that the most terrifying thing in this place is nothing else but deadly silence. He could even hear his own heartbeat while the mist completely obstructed his vision. There was no concept of day and night, so it was hard to tell how much time one had spent here if one didn’t have other means to check time.

Furthermore, without a keen direction sense, one could roam in the same place without even realizing it and forever be lost in this place.

If not for the fate map, Ace was afraid he might be lost after some time. But the compass was pointing him deep into the mist, so he decided to follow it and see where it led him, calmly.

As for any dangers, he has already left his avatar back as a retreat place, and also, he was going to take care of some unfinished business in the human territory with it.

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the thief’s space was quite lively after the four women gathered together for the first time. Even Lillian was shocked as it was her first time meeting with all the house members and seeing Eva after she scolded her.

Lillian couldn’t help but feel depressed once she remembered Alina was still sealed in that damn Cist, and here Ace was continuing to increase his harem.

‘All men are a bunch of unfaithful, fickle scoundrels!’ She cussed in her mind and snorted, didn’t bother to go out and greet them and take her position beside Cist and being to cultivate while muttering worriedly, “Princess, if you don’t come out, your men might be distributed before nothing is left for you!”

Within Eva’s house, all of them were sitting around a table with all sorts of precious wines and liquors in the center. Only Eva could get all these extremely exquisite and rare drinks from Ace.

“Alright, everyone, it’s nice to meet you all. Although Ace has already introduced me, and some of you have even interacted with me before, this is a rare occasion to see all of you together. Especially you two, Winter and Noa, you are very hard to come in contact with.” Eva smilingly said, appearing very amiable.

Cyrus was also curious, looking at everyone while silently sitting on Eva’s shoulder. He thought secretly, ‘So many big sisters for me? But I don’t have any big sister for big bro to introduce to… where did I find big sister for big bro like sister Eva and the others?’

Ace had no idea what kind of silly ideas the little guy was having, or he would’ve absolutely pulled a few of his fine feathers.

“Hehe, sister Eva, you are too modest. You’ll be a member of our house very soon, so you don’t need to be humble. In fact, I reckoned you will be our shadow leader.” Freya couldn’t help but giggle with full of meaning.

She had seen how obedient Ace was around Eva and couldn’t help but secretly feel jealous, since a man like Ace might not appear again. If she had wanted to have the thief’s house for herself before, she had lost hope once she found out what kind of existence Ace was, and suppressing him was a pipe dream.

So, the second-best option was to control Ace, but Eva and Alina thoroughly crushed this option as well. These two were absolutely in love with Ace, and he also loved them like mad and could do anything for them. He had made it quite clear when Alina’s life was on the line. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

So, getting the same spot didn’t mean she could have Ace for herself and let him do her bidding. Furthermore, she didn’t dare to do such a thing because Ace really treated them all well and trusted them with his life.

If she ruined his goodwill for her personal ambitions, she knew she would regret it for her life. Besides, she was living pretty happily, and her power increased day by day, and all she had to do was follow some instructions. She was only below Ace, which she could live with, so she no longer dared to ruin her current relationship with him or anyone close to him, as a matter of fact.

“What Shadow Leader? I’m just like you guys, who want to shoulder his burden and remove any obstacle that comes his way. Even without the thief’s house restriction, I’m willing to be his shield, and I hope you all also have the same mind.” Eva smiled, but for some reason, she gave the feeling of a tyrant.

Winter’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You don’t need to tell us. Even without your reminder, our lives are already connected with Him, so protecting him means protecting us. But if you want us just to be sacrificial pawns, then I’m sorry to offend you, but I won’t agree to it.”

Although Winter was now fully subdued and acknowledged Ace’s superiority over her and didn’t think about the house leader position, she still won’t accept Eva bossing them around.

Even if she was sleeping with Ace, she wasn’t the one who was being threatened with their lives, and she even suspected that Ace might not let her join the thief’s house at all since it would put her life in danger like theirs.

After all, it was a fact that they were all tricked by Ace because they all wanted to kill him at some point. But Eva and Alina were different, and he treated them differently. Winter was slightly resentful because of this treatment, as she found it unfair that they worked while Eva and Alina sat over their heads.

Even Freya was slightly surprised at Winter’s boldness. She was quite clear just how terrifying Eva was, and her prowess was nothing to laugh at, and Winter clearly didn’t know that.

Right now, Eva looked like a normal human without any aura, but those devilish eyes were far from being human.

However, Eva didn’t get angry as she smilingly replied, “You get wrong. I’m not treating you like pawns. Even if I want you, that guy would disagree; he’s not that kind of person, I can guarantee you that. If he considers you important to him, he would rather go through a sea of flames than sacrifice you guys, and that is what I love about him.

“What I’m trying to say is, if all ever thought that he’s worthy of your heart, then don’t hesitate to give it to him. He’ll accept you and treat you like he treated me. I just don’t want you to hesitate and think he has already taken it and then retrain yourself and develop some kind of resentment.

“This way, you’ll be able to fully devote yourselves to his cause and also experience his care and pampering. After all, you all are women in your prime, so if you want to have a man, then I want you to consider him first and then compare him with the others. If you still find him lacking, then you are free to choose anyone else.” Eva nonchalantly stated as if it was just some random statement.

But the three house members were flabbergasted, as they had never expected Eva to be so bold as to pave the way for other women.

Even if they had never thought of it before and only admired Ace, a seed has been planted in their mind that would already make them think of Ace if they ever desired another man and compare him with Ace.

This also means Eva’s goal has been achieved because she knew no other man could compare with Ace, whether it’s in looks or talent!
