Kieran raised his head to look at Evelyn. "Beautiful angel, where are we going?"
"You will know about it later." Evelyn gave a short answer.
Kieran's eyes shone brightly.
'Oh! Is it because she wants to surprise me? Hehe. I'm so excited right now. I can't wait to find out what she will do to me later. Hehe.'
A happy smile appeared on his face.
'Hmm? Maniacal Shrub Inn?'
The smile on his face grew bigger when they landed in front of Maniacal Shrub Inn.
'Does she want to play the role of master and servant in this luxurious inn? I thought we would do it in a cave earlier. I didn't expect it to be in a luxurious inn. She is indeed an angel! I love her even more now.'
He still did not know the reason why Evelyn took him to the Maniacal Shrub Inn.
He decided not to ask more questions because he would know the answer later. Like before, his face was still full of smiles.
However, the smile on his face instantly froze when they stepped into Xiao Ming's room.
'This?! Isn't he the city mistress' toy boy? What is he doing here?'
He was startled when he saw Xiao Ming lying on the bed.
"Beautiful angel, is this the reason why you take me to this inn?" Kieran inquired.
"Yes. I want you to treat his injuries with your healing magic." Evelyn did not hide her intentions.
Kieran returned his attention to Xiao Ming.
'Stinky boy! I envy you. You already have a beautiful MILF as your sugar mama, no, I mean, you already have city mistress, so how can you hook up with my angel now? So envious! So envious!'
He wanted to cry but had no tears.
'How could you have so much luck? You already have a kind and beautiful sugar mama like city mistress, but you can still hook up with an angel too. So envious!'
Of course, he knew who Xiao Ming was because Xiao Ming was famous in Nightshire city.
There were two reasons why Xiao Ming was famous in Nightshire city. First, it could be said he was the most handsome man in Nightshire city.
And last, it was because he was the city mistress' toy boy. City mistress was an attractive mature lady who could seduce any man without doing anything.
This was the reason why Kieran was envious of Xiao Ming's luck.
'I'm sure my luck would be as good as his if I had a handsome face like him. God, you are so unfair to me.'
He suddenly wished he had a handsome face like Xiao Ming.
"I will pay you handsomely after treating his injuries." Even though she dragged Kieran to Maniacal Shrub Inn by force, but she would not return good with evil.
"Leave it to me! I will make him recover in no time." Kieran put his right hand on his chest and said confidently.
'Hehe. I will ask her to kiss me as payment later.'
He added in his head.
Kieran wasted no time and began treating Xiao Ming's injuries with his healing magic.
Even though Xiao Ming's injuries were severe, it was not difficult for Kieran to heal his wounds.
"Done! He will regain consciousness in an hour or two." after saying that, Kieran turned his head to look at Evelyn. "Hehe. Beautiful angel, can I get my payment now?"
Evelyn retrieved one gold coin from her space ring. "Here is your payment."
In this world, they used copper, silver, and gold coins as transaction tools. 100 copper coins were equal to 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coins had the same value as 1 gold coin.
If they changed it to the currency in Xiao Ming's previous life, 1 gold coin was 1000 bucks.
"Beautiful angel, can I get other payment?" he did not want her gold coin because he was not short of money.
"What do you want?" Evelyn inquired,
"Hehe. Can I kiss you as my payment?" Even though he had guessed the answer, but he still tried his luck.
Evelyn was unhappy. She would have slapped his face if he had not healed Xiao Ming's wounds earlier.
"If you refuse my idea, how about I kiss your hand as my payment?" Kieran did not give up and kept trying his luck.
Actually, he was not a bad person.
He only loved beautiful women!
Everyone in Nightshire city already knew about his personality because he always behaved like this.
That was why the citizens wanted to save him when he said he was kidnapped because he was not an arrogant person and never treated anyone badly.
When Kieran tried to hold Evelyn's left hand and kiss it, she slapped his face hard.
"Thank you for the reward, my angel!" Kieran was thrown two meters from where he was.
Evelyn threw the gold coin at him before finally speaking, "Leave!"
After taking the gold coin, Kieran rose to his feet before rushing out of the room. "I will see you again tomorrow, my angel."
Evelyn sat on a wooden chair and looked at Xiao Ming. Even though Kieran had treated his injuries, she was still sad.
'Ren…'
She held his right hand while looking at him with a sad expression.
She had no idea why she was really sad when she saw his condition. She felt as if someone was slicing her heart with a knife continuously.
It hurt!
Her body had fully recovered, but she still felt that something was wrong with her body.
It was as if her body was crying!
'What is this feeling?'
Actually, she had a special feeling for Xiao Ming, but she did not realize it because she had never been in love before.
What she had been doing all this time was only learning magic. Of course, many men tried to court her, but she never put them in her eyes.
That was why she was unfamiliar with these feelings.
'Why am I so sad like this?'
She still found it hard to believe what she felt.
She had only known him for a few days, but she felt as if he was so special to her.
Sure, he had saved her life twice, but it was not the first time someone had saved her.
She wondered what made Xiao Ming special in her heart. She knew he was an attractive young man, but she had seen many good-looking men before.
'Is this what people call love?'
Of course, she was not sure about it.
As she was deep in thought, Xiao Ming finally regained consciousness.
Evelyn instantly came to her senses. "Ren, you have regained consciousness?"
The sadness in her heart reduced significantly, and her mood suddenly became better.
"Big sister, where are we?" Xiao Ming inquired.
"We are in Maniacal Shrub Inn." Evelyn responded, "How are you feeling?"
[Several divine beings are relieved.]
[God of Wind says you almost gave me a heart attack earlier.]
[Goddess of War shakes her head.]
[God of Lust says you should train harder later. You looked so pathic earlier.]
[God of Harem nods his head.]
Several notifications popped up.
Xiao Ming ignored the notifications because he was not in the mood to respond to them.
"Ren, why did you help me earlier? Didn't I tell you to stay in the cave? Did you know how dangerous your actions were?" Evelyn threw three questions at once.
Actually, she was angry and happy at the same time. She was furious because Xiao Ming ignored her words.
However, she was thrilled because he was willing to risk his life to help her.
Winged Tiger was a 3-star magical beast, so he was powerful. She was sure other people would not try to help her if they were as weak as Xiao Ming.
However, he did not care about it and still tried to help her as if Winged Tiger was a weak magical beast.
"I didn't know. my body reacted on its own when I saw you get hurt." He decided to lie because he could not tell her about the mission given by the system.
"Your body reacted by itself?" a spark of happiness suddenly arose within her.
'It seems like he really cares about me.'
She added in her mind.
When they stayed in the cave, and she was under the Winged Tiger's seal, he always treated her nicely and took care of her.
He even fought Ice Cheetah for the sake of saving her.
'Ren…'
Her face blossomed into a smile.
"I will forgive you this time." Evelyn stated. "But you have to promise me not to do the same thing again in the future."
"Then I won't promise you because I'm sure I will break my word again if I see you get injured." Xiao Ming answered, "I believe I will do the same thing if you are in danger."
Evelyn was unhappy with his response, but she could not get angry at him because his words also gave her happiness. "Then you have to get stronger quickly."
"Un." Xiao Ming nodded his head. "Big sis, I'm indeed weak right now, but I'm sure I will be stronger than you in the future."
He then continued, "At that time, something like this won't happen again and I will protect you from everything, including magical beasts."
Evelyn held Xiao Ming's hands before finally speaking, "But you should not act reckle-"
She stopped her words halfway when she realized what she was doing.
Sure, it was the second time she had held his hands, but the first was when he was still unconscious, so she did not feel nervous at that time.
Because of this, Xiao Ming's room suddenly turned into a dead silence.
Actually, he would behave normally if Evelyn did not stop her words halfway and act nervously because he was used to this kind of thing.
Even though his dream was to be the Ruler, but he did not spend all his time practicing martial arts.
He also often spent time with his lover because, from his point of view, everything must be balanced.
He needed happiness to keep practicing martial arts, and women were the source of happiness.
That was why he often spent time with his lover in his previous life.
At this moment, both Xiao Ming and Evelyn still did not say anything and only stared at each other.
They looked at each other for about five seconds before their gaze finally fell on their hands.
Evelyn did not remove her hands immediately and only shifted her gaze from their hands to his eyes.
Like Evelyn, Xiao Ming also shifted his gaze to her eyes after looking at their hands.
And the same thing happened again.
They stared at each other without saying a single word as if they were mute people.
However, something unexpected happened.
Their hearts suddenly beat fast!
Not only that, but the longer they stared at each other, the faster their hearts beat.
They felt as if they were under a magic.
At this moment, a desire to kiss Evelyn's soft pink lips suddenly emerged in Xiao Ming's heart.
He tried to fight back the lust within him, but his efforts were in vain. Evelyn's beautiful pink lips were so charming to the point he felt as if he was under her magic.
For this reason, Xiao Ming slowly brought his face closer to hers.
His intention was clear.
He wanted to kiss Evelyn's lips.
Evelyn's heart beat even faster when she saw his face getting closer to hers. Of course, she knew what he had in mind because it was written on his face.
But despite knowing what he was about to do, Evelyn did not stop him; instead, she slowly shut her beautiful eyes.
