Binding System-Chapter 9 Isn’t It Because You Have A Horrible Sense Of Direction?

'What he said is right. Even weak magical beasts can kill me now, but….'

Of course, Evelyn believed Xiao Ming would not do anything bad to her because he had been treating her well since they met.

'Yes, it's better to go with him than to wait in the cave alone.'

With that idea in mind, she approached Xiao Ming before finally placing her long and slender arms around his shoulders.

Evelyn's body tightened when Xiao Ming carried her and walked out of the cave.

It was her first time being carried by a male. No, she did many things for the first time since she met him.

First, he was the one who touched her body directly beside her family. Second, he was the first to see her bare back.

Sure, it was only her back, but it was still an important thing for her. Even her male family had never seen her back directly before.

Third, it was her first time staying the night in the cave with a man. And last, it was her first time being carried by a male.

'But why don't I hate all of this?'

If Xiao Ming were another man, she would have beaten him up and left.

'Is it because he always treated me well and saved my life twice?'

Of course, she had no idea most of the feelings she felt were the result of him binding his system to her.

Sure, Xiao Ming had saved her life twice and treated her well, but the system played the most important role in her feelings.

It could be said sixty percent of her feelings were the result of binding his system to her, while the other forty percent was because he saved her life twice and treated her well.

"Big sister, I found Juwi tree near the cave earlier. Do you want to eat Juwi fruit later?" Xiao Ming inquired.

"Juwi fruit? Let's pick it after eating grilled fish. We will save it for dinner." Unlike Xiao Ming, Evelyn knew about Juwi fruit.

"Good idea." Xiao Ming stated.

At this moment, he remembered something important.

'System, why don't the other Gods and Goddess comment on my adventures?'

He threw a question in his head.

[They are watching you, Host. However, your actions and adventure still have not piqued their interest. This is the reason why they did not say anything until now.]

'I see.'

He finally understood the reason why only a few Gods and Goddesses commented on his adventures.

After they reached the waterfall, Evelyn pointed her right index finger forward. "Ren, put me on that stone."

There was a huge flat stone next to the flowing water, so she suddenly wanted to sit on that rock because with this, she could play with water later.

"Alright." After putting her down, Xiao Ming started catching fish.

Evelyn told him to only grill two fish because he caught a big fish. As she was playing with water, Xiao Ming grilled the fish.

Evelyn's face blossomed into a smile when she played with water using her slender right hand.

Even though he had seen her smile before, but Xiao Ming was still mesmerized by it.

'Her smile is really dangerous!'

He believed most men would instantly fall in love with her after seeing her gentle smile.

"It's already cooked." Xiao Ming rose to his feet before finally walking toward Evelyn. "Here, your grilled fish."

"Thanks." Evelyn took the grilled fish.

Like before, they began to chat again.

"Oh right, Ren, do you want to learn magic now?" Evelyn inquired.

"You are still injured, so let's do that after you fully recover." Even though he really wanted to learn magic, but she was still injured, so in his view, it was not a good time to do that.

"Alright." Evelyn agreed instantly.

"Oh right, big sister, how about we get out of this forest today?" Xiao Ming inquired, "After all, this forest is dangerous for us."

"I can't leave this forest because I still haven't obtained the Ice Lotus plant." Ice Lotus plant was the reason why she came to the forest, so she did not want to leave before getting it.

And she also wanted to teach the Winger Tiger a lesson because he made her life miserable because of his seal.

She even did not want to imagine what would have happened to her if Xiao Ming had not appeared and helped her.

"Ice Lotus plant?" Xiao Ming finally understood the reason why she came to the forest.

"Yes. I need this Ice Lotus plant. Do you want to leave this forest today?" at this moment, she hoped Xiao Ming would stay with her because she needed his help.

He was a good young man, and she always felt comfortable when he was around her, so she hoped he would keep accompanying her.

If she met another man in her current state, there was a high possibility that they would take advantage of the situation.

This was the main reason why she hoped Xiao Ming would keep accompanying her. Of course, she would not say it because she did not want to force him to accompany her.

Xiao Ming had done many things for her. He even fought a magical beast for the sake of saving her.

That was why she would not force him to accompany her.

"Then I will keep accompanying you. You are under the Winged Tiger's seal now, so you need someone to protect you and I will be that person." There was one reason why he decided to accompany her.

He wanted to improve their relationship!

Sure, her affection parameter was already seventy percent, but it would be better if it rose to eighty or ninety percent.

"Thank you, Ren." Evelyn's face blossomed into a smile.

Like before, Xiao Ming was mesmerized by her beautiful smile.

Of course, he behaved normally as if he was not hypnotized by her smile. "But you have to promise me one thing."

"Promise? What do you want?" Evelyn asked curiously.

"You have to help me get out of this damn forest later." Xiao Ming wanted to get out of the forest because sleeping in the cave was uncomfortable.

Not only did he feel cold at night, but there was also a high possibility of being attacked by magic beasts.

Evelyn giggled after hearing his words. "Hehe. I forgot that you were lost in this forest."

"Big sis, stop giggling. This damn forest is so big, so it's normal to get lost." Xiao Ming made an excuse, "I'm sure everyone would get lost if they were in this forest alone."

"Isn't it because you have a horrible sense of direction?" Evelyn found his behavior in trying to defend himself funny.

At this moment, Xiao Ming shifted the blame to his predecessor.

'Damn you, predecessor!'

If he could see all of his predecessor's memories, he would not have been lost in the forest.

"Ehm!" Xiao Ming cleared his throat. "I blamed my horse for this!"

"Hehe." Evelyn giggled again. "You are making an excuse again. Don't worry. I will help you get out of this forest later."

"Promise?" Xiao Ming raised his right little finger.

"Promise." Evelyn nodded her head as she intertwined her right little finger with his.

After eating grilled fish, they chatted for another twenty minutes before finally heading to the Juwi tree.

Like before, Xiao Ming carried Evelyn on his back again. "How is it, big sister? It's delicious, right?"

"Yes." Evelyn nodded her head as she consumed the Juwi fruit. "This is enough for dinner. Let's return to the cave now."

"Alright." Xiao Ming carried her and walked toward the cave.

[Goddess of Love likes what you are doing to Evelyn.]

[Goddess of Love says you are on the right path, boy.]

"Big sis, are you eating the Juwi fruit right now?" Xiao Ming inquired.

"I'm sorry." Evelyn could not stop eating the Juwi fruit because it was delicious. "I will stop now."

"I never told you to stop." Xiao Ming did not mind because they had picked a lot of Juwi fruit earlier. "Can you give me too? I suddenly want to eat it."

"But you are carrying me now." Evelyn suddenly realized something. "Here, eat it."

Yes, she fed him the Juwi fruit!

He was carrying her, so he could not use his hands.

Xiao Ming was pleasantly surprised.

Of course, her actions made him happy. "Thank you, big sis."

He consumed the fruit happily. The fruit suddenly became more delicious because a gorgeous woman fed him.

[God of Harem is nodding his head.]

[God of Harem likes the way you improve your relationship with that beauty.]

[Goddess of Love agrees with God of Harem's words.]

[Several Divine beings nod their heads.]

Xiao Ming ignored the notifications because he wanted to enjoy his time with Evelyn. The smile on his face grew bigger because she did not stop feeding him.

[Evelyn's affection parameter: 70% --> 75%] 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

A system notification suddenly popped up.
