When Ace was in a state of shock, Scarlett did something to him.
She pinched both of his cheeks!
"You really have become a bad young man, Ace." of course, she did not pinch his cheeks hard. "You even dared to spank my butt. Now tell me, what should I do to you?"
Ace did nothing when she was pinching his cheeks. Not only was she pinching his cheeks gently, she even showed her soft smile.
"Scarlett, you were the reason why I did something like that to you, so you should not blame me." He tried to defend himself. "If you are still angry at me, how about I give you a piggyback ride as an apology?"
Scarlett's lips curled up into a smile. "Good idea. I will take your offer now."
Ace carried her on his back after cutting the White Deer's legs and storing them in his space ring.
Scarlett's heart pounded with happiness because it had been a long time since the last time someone gave her a piggyback ride, so she was thrilled.
Ace killed two 1-star magical beasts before stopping. There was a reason why he stopped hunting the magical beast.
It was because the sky already grew dark!
He believed hunting a magical beast at night was not a good decision. That was why he decided to stop.
----
Forest, Cave.
Scarlett and Ace were currently sitting on the stone platform, eating dinner. Previously, they found a cave, so they decided to stay the night in the cave.
"Ace, your cooking skills have improved tremendously!" she was startled when she consumed her meal.
He cooked for her once in the past, and the taste of his cooking was ordinary, but it was different this time.
Even though he only cooked a simple meal, but the taste of his food was so delicious, to the point she almost could not believe it.
"Well, I practiced cooking when you were not around, so my cooking skills improved a lot." Of course, he lied to her.
It would be impossible for him to cook delicious food if he did not activate the Cooking Skill card last night because he was bad at cooking in his previous life.
"Ace, how about you cook for me every day from today onwards?" she inquired.
Instead of answering her question, he threw a question to her, "You have a few maids in your house, so why do you ask me to cook for you every day?"
"Because your cooking is better than theirs." She gave an honest answer. "So, how is it?"
"Sorry, but I have to refuse because I'm not a housemaid or housewife." Of course, he would not grant her wish because from his point of view, it was the duty of a housewife or maid.
"Ops! I forgot you are not my maid, but my toy boy!" she decided to tease him because he refused her wish.
The corner of his lips twitched after hearing her words.
'This sexy MILF is bullying me again!'
He didn't expect her to say something like that.
"Wait! Shouldn't you have listened to my words? After all, I'm your sugar mama." She did not know why she loved teasing him now.
"Beautiful lady, do you want to get spanked again?" he inquired.
Scarlet giggled. "Hehe."
They began to talk about many things. Due to how enjoyable their conversation was, they did not realize that they had been talking for three hours.
"Scarlett, let's sleep now." he would hunt magical beasts tomorrow, so he wanted to sleep early.
"Alright." After saying that, she retrieved a tent from her space ring.
Ace was started.
'A tent?'
Previously, he thought they would sleep on bed stone, but he was wrong because Scarlett brought a tent with her.
"Ace, let's sleep in my tent." After saying that, she entered the tent.
Of course, he agreed instantly because sleeping in the tent was better than on the stone platform.
'This tent is big enough for three people.'
Not only was the tent quite big, but there was also a folding bed and two pillows.
"Come here." Scarlett was currently lying on the folding bed.
Ace instantly lay on her left side. He slept with her last night, so he behaved normally when he was lying next to her.
"Goodnight, Scarlett." He uttered.
'Hmm?'
He turned his head to look at her when he felt her staring at him.
"What is it, Scarlett? Why are you looking at me like that?" he inquired.
"Nothing." She responded, "I thought you were still a bad young man, but it seemed like I was wrong. You are a good young man now."
Ace finally understood everything.
Even though she was lying to him, but he knew what she had in mind.
She wanted a goodnight kiss!
'It seems like it will be difficult to be a good young man when I'm with her.'
When he was with Evelyn, he could control himself most of the time, but it was different when he was with Scarlett.
It was not like Scarlett was better than Evelyn. It was just that Scarlett's behavior was bolder than Evelyn's.
'You are asking for it, so don't blame me later.'
With that idea in mind, he pressed his lips against hers.
Scarlett was not surprised by his actions. She also did not stop him because this was what she wanted.
Since she knew what his dream was, she felt a special feeling develop within her. Of course, Ace was also precious to her in the past, but this time it was a little different.
"Goodnight, Scarlett." He said in a soft voice.
"Ace, you should kiss my forehead, not my lips." She said the same words as she said last night when he kissed her lips.
Actually, he kissed her lips on purpose because with this, he could kiss her twice; on the lips and forehead.
"Goodnight, beautiful lady." Like before, he said in a soft voice after kissing her forehead as if they were lovers who were in love with each other deeply.
"Goodnight, Ace." Scarlett's face blossomed into a smile.
Shortly after that, they fell asleep.
The following morning, Ace hunted the magical beast after having breakfast with Scarlett.
That day, he managed to kill two 1-star magical beasts. Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, Ace and Scarlett had been in the forest for six days.
Many things happened during these six days. First, Ace managed to kill twelve 1-star magical beasts.
Second, he got four 1-star magical beast core. And last, his relationship with Scarlett was much closer now.
Scarlett and Ace were currently in the abandoned house. They found two abandoned houses when they searched for clean water.
The distance between these two houses was close. Even though the house was not big and made of bamboo, but it was a good place to spend the night.
At this moment, the duo was lying on the bed. The bamboo house only had one bed, so they lay next to each other.
Of course, they behaved normally because they always slept side by side every night, so it was not something new for them.
"Hehe." Both Ace and Scarlett chuckled.
The small bedroom had nothing except a bamboo bed.
"Ace, you have killed many magical beasts now, so when are we going back to Nightshire city?" she inquired.
Instead of answering her question, he asked, "Why? Do you want to go back to Nightshire city tomorrow?"
"Well, it's up to you." she did not mind even if they had to stay in the forest longer because spending time with him was enjoyable.
As they were talking happily, they suddenly heard a woman's moan.
"Ah…" a seductive wail reverberated in the entire area.
'Someone's having sex in the house next door.'
Both Ace and Scarlett stopped talking and only stared at each other.
"Ah…Ah…Ah…" the distance between two bamboo houses was close, so they could hear the woman's cries because she moaned loudly.
Like before, Ace and Scarlett only stared at each other. They were shocked because they did not expect something like that to happen.
'She is wailing loudly!'
