Nightshire City, Tacend Region.
"I hope auntie Lexie and the others are fine." Luna said as she looked at the busy street.
Luna and two of her babysitters were currently on the second floor. She was bored in her room, so she headed to the balcony to look at the busy street.
As she was resting her head on her palm, she suddenly saw Lexie and the others.
"It's aunties Lexie and the others. They have returned." Luna rushed to the first floor to welcome them, followed by her babysitters.
After opening the door, she ran toward them with a happy face.
"Auntie Lexie, big brother, big sisters…" Luna said happily, as if they had been separated for a month.
"Young Miss, we are back." Mia waved her hands happily.
Luna stopped running and checked their bodies.
'They are not injured.'
The happiness within her grew bigger when she found out that they were not injured in the slightest.
"Luna, let's go to the living room first." The front yard was not a good place to talk, so Lexie wanted them to go to the living room first.
"Un." Luna nodded her head cutely.
Shortly after they entered the living room and sat on the sofa, one of Lexie's subordinates put tea and snacks on the table.
Unlike the last time, Julia and the others sat on the couch this time as if they were people of the same status.
"Young Miss, we got the Purple Moon Flower, so you could stop drinking bitter medicine soon." Mia told Luna that their mission was successful.
"Really?" Luna asked with a happy face because she hated bitter medicine.
"Not only can you stop drinking bitter medicine, but you will also be able to play all day long soon." Julia added.
"Yay!" Luna's eyes shone brightly. "Auntie Lexie, did big brother protect you and big sisters?"
"Yes." Lexie responded as she smiled, "We could get the Purple Moon Flower because of him."
"Young Miss, he is so powerful!" Mia stated. "My lady was not injured because he killed the Yin-Yang Tiger easily."
Luna shifted her gaze to Ren. "Big brother, you really kept your promise."
Ren smiled as he nodded his head. "Big brother had promised you before, so of course, big brother would protect them."
"Then, as I promised, auntie Lexie is yours now." Luna still remembered her words.
"Cough…Cough…" Ren could not help but cough.
"I agreed with this!" Mia stated.
Ren could reach Master rank at a young age.
He was also attractive and looked like a good young man.
He was even Aeris, so he met the criteria to be Lexie's boyfriend or husband.
Angeline and Julia nodded their heads, giving a sign that they also agreed with Luna's words.
Ren, who suddenly felt awkward, glanced at Lexie.
'Lady Lexie, say something.'
He talked to her through his eyes.
However, Lexie did not say anything to her niece.
She only smiled softly before finally caressing her niece's hair gently.
Ren was startled by her actions.
'Hey, lady Lexie. What are you doing? Say something.'
Like before, he talked to her through his eyes again.
However, Lexie's reactions were the same.
She did not say anything and only smiled at her niece.
[Host, it seems like there is a high possibility of you becoming her boyfriend. You must be happy to have a gorgeous MILF as your second woman, Host.]
'Not you too, system.'
He did not expect his system to tease him too.
"Oh, right, Ren. This is a reward for helping me get the Purple Moon Flower." Lexie retrieved one hundred gold coins and one skill book.
[Ding! The quest is complete.]
[Ding! Host has received 70 points, 70 system exp and System Exp card (1). Host can find the card in the inventory.]
'Oh, the mission is complete?'
He did not activate the card immediately because he was with Lexie and the others.
"Thank you." Ren stored the gold coins in his space ring.
When he grabbed the skill book, a notification popped up.
[Ding! Host has discovered the Mountain Crushing Slash skill book. Do you want to learn it?]
'I will learn it later.'
He could learn it at any time, so he decided to store it in his space ring.
"Ren, I have a bonus for you." Lexie uttered.
"Bonus?" Ren was taken aback by her words because there was no bonus word in their previous agreement and discussion.
Lexie retrieved a golden token from her space ring.
The token looked luxurious and had the words 'Cardenas Family' written on it.
"This is a special token that can be used in all my businesses. You will be treated as a VIP guest, and you will also get a 50% discount on all items if you show this token to my employees." Lexie decided to give Ren the golden token for three reasons.
First, he helped her get the Purple Moon Flower without getting injured. Second, Ren was a talented awakener with a bright future.
And lastly, her niece liked Ren.
These three reasons were enough to make him a special person, so she wanted to build a good relationship with him because, with this, she could get a powerful ally and she also could make her niece happy.
It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Ren was pleasantly surprised by the bonus.
He liked the bonus very much, especially the discount part.
Even though he had 578 gold coins, 650 silver coins, and 3,700 copper coins, he was still not in the category of rich awakeners, so he did not reject the bonus.
But when he was about to take the golden token from Lexie's right hand, Luna snatched it and embraced it tightly.
Ren wanted to cry at this moment.
He was not rich, so the golden token would be of great help to him, especially considering that Lexie had a lot of business in Nightshire City.
However, he could not take the golden token from Luna, so all he could do was act normal and cry inside.
"Auntie Lexie, what are you saying? You belong to him now, so of course, he can use our businesses for free." After saying that, Luna turned her head to look at Ren. "Big brother, you don't need this token. If you want something, just come to our business and take it. You don't need to pay for it."
The sadness in his heart was instantly replaced by happiness, but he did not show it on his face.
Lexie did not take back the golden token and spoke, "Ren, if you need something, you can meet me directly. I will help you get it."
"Thank you, lady Lexie." Ren responded as he smiled.
After talking for several minutes, Ren left.

Gentle Star Hotel, Ren's Bedroom.
Ren was lying on the bed, wearing only a towel.
After taking a shower, he did not put on his clothes immediately; instead, he lay on the bed because he suddenly wanted to check the reward from the quest.
'System Exp card?'
He began reading the description.
Like its name, the System Exp card was a card that would give exp for his system.
The amount of Exp he would get was 1,000.
It was a lot of system exp because he needed to complete many quests to get 1,000 system exp.
'System, activate System Exp card.'
He used it immediately.
[Ding! System Exp card activated.]
Right after activating it, a notification appeared.
----
System exp: 72/1,562 ---> 1,072/1,562
----
His lips curled up into a smile as he saw the system exp.
'Now, it's time to learn the skill book I got from lady Lexie.'
