Eternal Thief

Chapter 849 Pitiful Cyrus (1)

?

"The First Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker, White, has taken the Moon God's Holy Gift! 

"The Unique Trial for Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker of the eighth layer will no longer exist! 

"According to the dogma of the Moon God, if a Sun and Moon Inheritor has the ability to take the Holy Gift, all the rewards placed for the Unique Trial shall be handed down to that inheritor! 

"Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker White will also be rewarded with 1000 extra days in the Moon Secret Realm! 

"You have been given the entry to the Final Layer of the Moon Secret Realm, and if you pass it, you can take the final trial for the title of Chosen One. 

"May the Glory of the Sun and Moon God will be shone above the Mortal Sky. Good luck for the Final Trial, Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker White!"

With ecstasy, Ace heard the voice, which was music to his ears. It had been 144 days since he had entered the Moon Secret Realm. After going through all the annoying obstacles, he has finally cleared the 8th layer of the Moon Secret Realm. 

Well, of course, the trial was cleared by the little guy on his shoulder, who has a blissful expression right now. 

'Final trial for chosen one title? I wonder what that could be and where its location is… I just hope it's not related to heaven's secret, or I suppose I'm not done with the union.' Ace thought as he sulked, just thinking about it. 

The venture of Moon Secret Realm up to this point was nothing but exhausting just because the other party was able to keep an eye on his every move. Ace now started to long for the days when he could remain hidden and theft in peace. 

Furthermore, the God Envoy was silent for the whole 50 days now, and Ace knew that guy was cooking up something, and with the live fate map, it was very easy to see through his scheme!

'Hmph! In the end, if you think this trick will work, you have another thing coming. Still, just in case, I should prepare…' Ace thought as he looked at a purple storage ring levitating toward him and the purple swirl that led toward the final layer materializing. 

Stowing the storage ring away, Ace questioned, "Can I stay here as long as I want?"

"Affirmative. You can stay here as long as you have time in Moon Secret Realm." The static voice replied. 

Ace then asked the system, "How much time before the deadline for Heaven Stealer Mission?" 

Ace didn't dare to open the panel as per the system warning, nor did he want to show off his dismantle Qi here, so he directly asked the system for his mission deadline.

"[283 days.]" 

"Alright, Cyrus, you should go back and digest what you have eaten. I can feel you are lethargic lately. I'll call you after 120 days. Furthermore, I'm going to practice and prepare for our final showdown." Ace then transmitted his voice to Cyrus as he rubbed the little guy's head with his finger gently. 

Ace was very thankful for Cyrus's help, and without Cyrus, he would never be able to reach this place so effortlessly. Now that the final battle was drawing close, he decided to use some time to rest and raise some of his skills.

It wasn't like he was always running away from fights. He was secretly practicing his stealth and movement arts, not to mention the [Wind] law.

Since the God Envoy was planning to go all out in the final layer, he won't hold back either. 

"You're not planning to eat alone, are you?" Cyrus suspiciously looked at Ace. 

Ace smiled in exasperation, "Little guzzler, do you ever see me eat before? Besides, I can't go forward without you even if I want to." 

"Oh! Then you have to promise me there won't be any classes!" Cyrus demanded. 

Ace's lips twitched, "You should say that to your big sis Eva. I'm afraid I can't help you with that." 

Cyrus wanted to protest and call Ace a big liar when Ace forcibly sent him away and shook his head wryly, 'He's probably going to hide and sleep in the hills of storage rings until I call him. Should I expose him? Well, she's still cultivating, and Livia hasn't been out; who is Cyrus's actual teacher. But that guzzler brat will turn rebellious at this rate...' 

A sat cross-legged with a devious smile on his face as he decided before closing his eyes, 'Well, I should let him rest for a week before putting him up for study again!' 

A week later, within the thief's space. 

The once deserted thief's space now has two large identical houses in the middle, and they are right in front of each other. The only difference was one was colored white while the other was crimson, and there were even nameplates outside the doors. 

The nameplate on the crimson house door read, 'First Wife's House,' and it appeared it was handwritten by an elegant yet arrogant writer. 

On the other hand, on the White House door, the nameplate read, 'First Love's House,' and the writer seemed to be as elegant as the writer of the crimson house, but there seemed to be boundless fury and indignation present in those words. 

At this moment, the white door of the house opened, revealing Alina's graceful figure wrapped in a blue dress, and her enthralling face was as cold as ice. 

Behind her was charming Lillian in a white dress, and she seemed to be exhausted. 

"Is there any movement?" Alina coldly questioned while she stared dagger at the crimson house in front of her, and her eyes glued on the nameplate before killing intent was raging in them.

"No, that house is completely silent like usual." Lillian replied in exasperation, "Princess, I still can't understand why you're following Sir Ace if he already had a wife, and if you have accepted it, then what are we doing spying on her like this?" 

Lillian still vividly remembered her surprise when she discovered that Ace already had a wife and Alina would be his second. It was a very grave matter, especially because of Alina's status. 

But in the end, Alina seemed not to care at all. On the contrary, she seemed to have found something to purist other than Ace, and she was now focusing on raising her sword skills. 

"Hmph! Stay out of it. You just keep an eye on her! She still hadn't shown her face after she publicly placed that shameless nameplate on her door!" Alina ground her teeth at this moment as a hateful memory appeared in her mind. 

Lillian was speechless and looked at the nameplate Alina placed right after Eva did and thought, 'You're one to talk!'

But Lillian still cherishes her life, so she changed the topic, "Ahem, are you going to study the Yin Hellish Sword Art again today?" 

Alina's eyes brightened as she nodded without hesitation, "Indeed, that sword art really fits me well, and my ice sword intent seemed to be changing somehow." 

"Who could've thought that sir Ace would have so many Upper Sky Breaker Sword Arts, and he has given them all to Princess like they are nothing. He truly cherishes you." Lillian stated with reverence. 

An enthralling smile bloomed on Alina's face, "You think so? Do you think he loves me more than that shameless she-devil?" 

Lillian's expression stiffened, and she felt like she was walking on the edge of a blade. She didn't even need to think twice as she replied, "Is there any need to ask such a question?" 

"You're absolutely right. Now I just need to make that she-devil understand it!" Alina's eyes shone with fighting spirit. 

At this moment, both Alina and Lillian were startled when right in front of their doorsteps, a small feather basket appeared. 

Within that basket was a black bird who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and besides that small black chick was an open letter. With both Alina and Lillian's sight, they were easily able to read the letter's contents!
