Binding System

Chapter 187 I Accept You





"Ace, your body is cold. You can use my body to warm yours if you want to." She still did not realize what she had just said.

She also did not know that her words could lead to misunderstandings because there was another meaning to her words.

Sex!

Yes, the other meaning of her words was sex.

Of course, she did not ask him to have sex with her because she did not have a dirty mind.

She just used the wrong sentence, no other meaning than that.

That was why she looked at him without feeling shy because, from her view, there was nothing wrong with her words.

Ace, who was on her right side, widened his eyes for a second.

Of course, he knew what she had in mind.

He was only surprised because she said something like that with a straight face, as if she was an innocent teenager.

'How could you say something like that in this situation? Do you really not know that your words can cause misunderstandings?' 

When he was about to say something, Lieutenant Valeria did something shocking.

She moved closer to him!

He would not be shocked if there was some distance between them.

The problem was that there was no distance between them now.

In other words, their bodies pressed against each other!

Their clothes touched each other.

And their skins connected to each other.

She even intertwined her legs with his.

If one saw what she was doing, that person would think she was seducing him.

However, it was not the truth.

She was not trying to seduce him.

She also was not trying to take advantage of the situation.

She did this because she wanted to warm his body.

He had been taking care of her, so she wanted to use her body to warm him.

"We can reduce the cold if we sleep like this." Mystically, she did not feel shy or nervous because, at that time, she was really worried about him.

Ace was stunned.

He was shocked because he did not expect her to do something like that.

He could even feel her body because their bodies pressed against each other. " Lieutenant Valeria …"

He did not know what to say. 

Of course, he did not have a dirty mind. 

He was just shocked by her sudden actions and their positions.

"What's wrong?" even though the distance between their faces was very close, she behaved normally.

The duo was looking at each other, so they could feel each other's breath. They even could smell the fragrance of their bodies.

"Don't you think we are too close?" he inquired.

She did not answer his question immediately; instead, she positioned her body so that they could sleep comfortably.

She was currently lying sideways with her face facing his neck. 

Yes, she lowered her body earlier!

She did this because she wanted them to be able to warm each other.

"Ace, put your left hand on me. Hug me." She would have put his left hand on her body if her hands were not injured.

Due to how close they were, his chin even touched her hair, allowing him to smell her hair.

'Isn't she afraid I might do something to her?'

He could kiss her forehead if he lowered his head.

This was the reason why he was shocked because he believed she was also aware of this.

"You will feel cold again if you don't do what I say." She uttered, "Put your left hand on me, Ace. Hug me."

After staring at her for several seconds, he did what he was told.

He placed his left hand on her body before finally pulling her closer to him.

[God of Mountain bites the hem of his T-shirt, saying he is envious of Ace.]

[God of Harem smiles at you and Lieutenant Valeria.]

[God of Lust laughs at God of Mountain's actions.]

"Good night, Ace." She uttered.

"Good night, Lieutenant Valeria." He responded. 

Shortly after that, they fell asleep.

Mystically, they did not feel cold anymore, even though the wind kept entering the abandoned house through the holes.

They even felt as if they were sleeping in a huge, comfortable room. This was the reason why they could sleep soundly. 

That night, even though they only slept in an abandoned house, they had a good dream.

----

Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it had been five days since Ace saved Lieutenant Valeria from 3-star ogres.

Lieutenant Valeria was fully recovered now because Ace gave her several potions. The duo was currently in the waterfall.

They found a waterfall yesterday, so they decided to eat breakfast there.

"It looks so delicious." Ace smiled as he put the meal on the wooden plate.

At this moment, Lieutenant Valeria was sitting on a big stone while swinging her feet in the water.

Her long hair danced softly, and a beautiful smile could be seen on her face.

Lieutenant Valeria was in a good mood because the scenery around the waterfall was beautiful, and the air was fresh.

"Lieutenant Valeria, the food is ready." Ace sat on her right side.

When he wanted to feed her, she uttered, "Ace, I'm fully recovered now, so I can eat by myself."

"Ah! I forgot." He had always fed her since they were in the forest, so he unknowingly did that.

She smiled softly because she could understand his actions. "I will take care of the meal from now on."

Ace always took care of her when she was injured, so it was her turn now. That was why she would be the one cooking from today.

"Alright." He agreed instantly.

As they were consuming their meal, she uttered, "Ace, I want to spar with you after this."

Ace was shocked by her words. "Spar?"

"Yes." She nodded her head.

"Why?" he did not know why she suddenly wanted to spar with him.

"I just suddenly want to spar with you." She did not tell him that she only wanted to know whether he was stronger than her or not.

He immediately refused her wish. "Lieutenant Valeria, I think this is not a good idea. What if one of us gets hurt later?"

No.

He was not afraid of her.

He just did not want any of them to get hurt.

Instead of sparring, they should find a way to Aquarin City because he no longer wanted to stay in the forest.

"We will stop before one of us get injured." She insisted on wanting to spar with him.

When Ace was about to say something, a notification popped up.

[Ding! A candidate to be the Ruler should not be afraid of challenges. Accept the challenge and defeat Valeria Mils, and Host will be rewarded with a Pressure card.] 

Ace was pleasantly surprised by the notification.

Many things happened in the last three weeks, like fighting two 3-star magical beasts or protecting Scarlett's subordinates.

However, his system never gave him a quest during that time. 

He even thought his system was dead because there were many interesting events in the last three weeks, but his system did not give him a single quest.

He just did not expect that a challenge from Lieutenant Valeria would trigger the quest.

'Pressure card?'

Actually, he did not need a pressure card because he could frighten his enemy with his aura.

However, a card was a card.

He would not say no if his system wanted to give him a card.

That was why he changed his mind and accepted the challenge. "Alright. I will spar with you." 

After having breakfast, they rose to their feet, facing each other.

Lieutenant Valeria retrieved her daggers from her space ring before finally speaking, "Don't hold back, Ace. Fight me seriously because I want to know how strong you are."

"Sure." Even though he said something like this, he would try his best not to injure her because she was his friend.

"I'm coming!" after saying that, she rushed toward him before finally swinging her daggers, sending waves of energy at him.

Boom!

Boom!

Her slashes hit the trees after Ace avoided it.

"Be careful. I will attack you now." He used the Lightning Move skill to appear behind her.

Lieutenant Valeria turned her body to block his attack. 

'His attack is heavy.'

She was dragged five meters back after blocking his attack.

Like before, Ace attacked her again. 

Even though she asked him to fight her seriously, he only used seventy percent of his power.

He even would not use the third form of Yin Yang Dragon skill or the Great Lightning Dragon magic because it would injure her heavily.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The duo was strong.

Just the impact of their attacks destroyed many trees and two small mountains. 

A soft smile spread across his face as he attacked her.

He knew she was a powerful awakener, but she was much stronger than he thought.

'As expected of a Lieutenant, she is so strong.'

Ace had faced many opponents, but she was the strongest among them.

"Raving Slash!" she slashed her dagger wildly, sending waves of energy at him.

"Earth Shield." Ace decided to block her attack with magic.

However, her attacks were so strong, causing her earth shield to get destroyed immediately.

Lieutenant Valeria rushed toward him before finally pointing her dagger at his neck. "I won, Ace."

At the same time, the real Ace appeared behind her. "No. It's my win."

Lieutenant Valeria turned her head to look at the real Ace.

'Ace? He is behind me?'

She returned her attention to the Ace in front of her.

Ace's clone, who was in front of her, smiled before finally melting into water.

'He is a clone?'

She stored her daggers into her space ring and uttered, "I lost. I accept you, Ace."

Ace tilted his head to the left. "Huh?"
