Eternal Thief

After their passionate exchange, it was finally time to leave the tower.

Ace looked at Eva, who was now clad in a tight red dress showcasing her devilish figure. She was sitting on his lap while her hands wrapped around his neck.

He softly muttered while looking into tender eyes, "I just couldn't have enough of you."

Eva giggled with a faint blush and seductively said while creasing her finger on his face, "Then how about we go back?"

Ace sighed and shook his head ruefully, "As I loved the sound of that. But we can't waste more time. I still need to figure out the way out of the Elven Continent and reach the Azure Wind Continent. Then I need to find where they had taken Alina."

His eyes turn cold, "Once I save her, I'll make sure they will all regret ever crossing me."

Eva pursed her lips, "Hmph. You better not do anything dangerous, or once I reach the Law Comprehension Realm…" She smiled dangerously.

Ace couldn't help but gulp since he knew once Eva started to cultivate, according to the system, she would be extremely fast, and she herself said she could break into the 7th realm within two years after she took all the materials.

As for him, he will be too busy saving Alina, so looking for more Elemental Orbs is impossible.

Nevertheless, as long as Eva reaches the 8th realm, who will be able to mess with him in the entire mortal sky heaven?

Still, he felt warmth since he knew Eva was worried about him, and now that he had made a promise to her, she was no longer thinking about obstructing his way.

"I know when to stop." Ace seriously said, "Are you sure you don't want to meet with Noa and Freya? If you like, I can also make them accompany you in my space if you guys become friends."

Since he had already told her about the thief's house, he no longer needed to worry about her finding out, and this matter was already dealt with. So, he offered Eva to meet with Noa and Freya.

Since she will be joining the thief's house eventually, he doesn't mind these girls meeting with each other and even becoming friends. This way, Eva won't feel lonely in the thief's space.

But to his surprise, Eva rejected him in a heartbeat.

"No, I'll meet them when I join the thief's house and when they are all together." Eva softly said with a willy glint hidden deep in his abyssal eyes.

'She's scheming something.' Ace could only pray silently for those girls, and he had no plan of interfering since Eva would not be going to listen to him, and she might take it the wrong way.

Eva suddenly chuckled darkly, "Besides, don't you already have an elf princess locked into your space? I'll educate her for you with Cyrus. This will be enough entertainment for me."

"You sound like a villain, you know?" Ace chuckled as he had no intention of stopping her since the sooner Livia accepted her fate, the better.

"Hehe, a pot calling the kettle black." Eva scoffed with an evil grin before she cried when she felt a pinch on her supple butt, "Ahhh… you scoundrel!"

"You dare to retort?" Ace laughed evilly as he used his evil hand more fiercely.

"Ahahah… stop… stop!~ lyaaa… You're so dead!" Eva moaned when his hand infiltrated her chest, and his finger started to roll around her sensitive nipple, and she also started to counterattack.

Just like that, they started to mess around with each other before they were passionately kissing.

"Mmm…" Eva finally broke free from a long kiss as her breath was slightly rigged and her face alluring red while her big chest was completely exposed.

She mumbled while looking at him lustfully and said with anticipation, "Do you really not want to stay any longer?"

Ace looked at the devilish beauty who was begging him to ravish her, and if it were any other time, he really would have stayed for as long as he was satisfied, but he knew he would never get enough of her devilish body, neither she will.

If it was any other woman without cultivation, she might not even endure Ace's burst of carnal desires. But Eva was a completely different breed because, for some reason, she was becoming stronger, not to mention wilder, the more she entangled in sexual activities.

Alas, if he only bothered checking her cultivation again and he will be shocked by it. Because she was already at the Soul Foundation Building Realm, and it was a nine-slates foundation, not the least.

But Ace's mind was still not at ease, not until Alina was out of the woods. Or he would've been shocked and inquired about what was happening with Eva.

That's also why Eva didn't bother to tell him because he never asked, and this naturally pissed her off, and she had no plan of telling him anytime soon either until he discovered it himself.

"I truly wish…" Ace could only disappoint her and himself.

This naturally ruins their moment, though. Eva coldly harrumphed and started to tidy up her dress while escaping Ace's embrace.

Ace knew he had ruined the moment by being too honest, and now he had made Eva furious. He could've just said 'yes' to keep her heart. But he also knew then he might really get cold feet and say here for far too long.

With a somewhat painful expression, he tried to explain, "Eva, I know…"

"You don't have to explain. I know your mind is not here after I bring out Alina, and it's kind of my fault." Eva ruefully said as he looked at his pained expression, she felt her heartache, and she gently said, "Just follow your heart. I'll always be here for you."

Ace felt ashamed, but he knew now that Eva was fine and no longer in any kind of danger; his mind started to wander toward Alina on its own.

So, he might as well not hurt her and accept it like a man.

He stood up and quickly hugged her tightly without giving her a chance to escape and solemnly said in a mild voice, "When I'm done with Alina, I'll fulfill my marriage promise. I'll make sure it will be the grandest wedding that the entire world will remember!"

Eva trembled slightly when she heard his solemn promise, they might have already done the deed, but a wedding was something she dreamed of and held special meaning. Especially to a woman.

"I'll hold you to it!" She muttered tenderly as she finally felt better.

Ace nodded as he had no intention of going back on his words with her. It was his first promise to her, and he will complete it no matter what.

After a long while, they finally parted, and their bond was stronger than ever.

"Let's go." Eva tightly held his hand as their figures were completely entangled with each other.

"I'll be in your care." Ace nodded.

Eva then smiled charmingly and closed her eyes as she tried to open a portal toward the main continent.

However, sweat beaded on her smooth, crowned forehead, and the hexagon mark suddenly shimmered in crimson light.

"I-I can't open a doorway!" She suddenly stated.

Ace's heart sank, "What's the problem?"

Eva finally opened her eyes as the hexagon mark on her forehead stopped shimmering, but the exhaustion was quite apparent.

She said, "This treasure is standing above a massive formation, and if I'm not mistaken, then this formation is actually a teleportation formation. Because I just found out that there is no such ability to open a doorway toward the mainland or anywhere. This treasure can only travel through space. It has lost the ability too after the core was absorbed by me now."

Ace's expression turned somewhat ugly, "Then didn't this mean we are stuck here?"

But he also knew the system had told him there was still one last teleportation left in this tower, and it couldn't be wrong. He was about to ask the system when Eva continued.

"No. We are not stuck. As I said, this tower is most likely standing on a teleportation formation, and I think that formation is the one connected to the mainland.

"The Tower Spirit was most likely using that formation to create doorways toward in the elven continent. But this ability is also lost with the core." Eva revealed her thoughts.

Ace then narrowed his eyes as he started to understand what she meant, "So, what's your point?"

Eva gravely said, "I can't open a doorway to the mainland since that unique core is gone now. But I can feel that I can use this tower as some sort of key to activate that formation."

Ace's eyes instantly widened, "Which means this entire tower will be teleported into the elven continent?"

Eva nodded, "Exactly, and if I'm not wrong, this tower will instantly crumble after this one last teleportation since its entire remaining power will be used to activate that formation one last time!"
