Xiao Ming was currently standing under the Juwi tree.

'I did not expect this fruit to be so tasty!'

His face broke into a smile as he consumed the Juwi fruit.

'I will drink first before returning to the cave.'

There was a clean river next to the Juwi tree.

The water was so clean, to the point he could see his reflection in the water.

'Hmm? I did not expect my predecessor to be so attractive.'

He praised his predecessor for having a handsome face.

Yes, he was indeed a good-looking young man.

His black hair coiffed to perfection, and his black eyes had the same starling clarity as morning dew.

Not only that, but the lineaments of his face were also in perfect proportion to each other.

In short, he was devilishly handsome!

If he were in his previous life, his face was enough to make every woman, who saw him, go crazy over him.

'Because you are so attractive, I will forgive you for having a bad talent.'

Even though he realized that having a good-looking face had its downside, he was still pleased.

In a world where strength was most important, having a handsome face could be said to be a curse if they did not have the strength to back it up.

The reason was simple.

Strong women would catch them to be their toy boy!

It was not a bad idea if they were gorgeous, but women who looked for toy-boy were usually ugly or fat.

That was why they preferred to have ugly faces if they lacked talent or were weak because having a good-looking face could put their lives in danger.

'Alright. I will return to the cave now.'

Xiao Ming walked toward the cave with a smile on his face.

Of course, he had no idea that the Ice Cheetah was attacking Evelyn because the distance between the cave and the Juwi tree was quite far.

----

Forest, Cave.

Evelyn was clenching her left fist.

Legs, chest, cheeks, arms; blood could be seen in almost every part of her body.

'That damn Winged Tiger! I will make him pay after I recover and undo his seal.'

She blamed the Winged Tiger for everything because he was the reason why she could not defeat the Ice Cheetah.

'What should I do now?'

She was currently standing in front of Ice Cheetah with a wooden stick in her right hand.

"Grrr…" the Ice Cheetah rushed toward her before finally attacking using its claw.

Evelyn blocked the Ice Cheetah's attack with her wooden stick.

However, the wooden stick was unable to withstand the power of the Ice Cheetah, causing the stick to be broken instantly.

*Uakk…

Blood splashed out of her mouth, and she was thrown two meters from where she was. freew(e)bnovel.com

There were several reasons why Evelyn could not defend herself. First, she was under the Winged Tiger's seal.

Second, she was a mage. Mages were not good in close combat as their speciality was long-range combat.

And last, she was already injured before the Ice Cheetah attacked her. She would have been died by now if she were not at the Master rank and had no fighting experience.

"Grrr…" the Ice Cheetah walked toward Evelyn slowly.

It was as if the magical beast knew that she would not be able to escape from him.

When the Ice Cheetah was about to bite Evelyn, a voice rang out. "Ava!"

Xiao Ming instantly dropped the Juwi fruit and fish.

'I have to save her!'

He rushed toward Evelyn after unsheathing his sword.

[Ding! Evelyn is Host's first binding partner. Save her, and you will be rewarded randomly.]

Even though he was thrilled with the unexpected quest, Xiao Ming did not show it on his face because his mind was filled with Evelyn's safety.

[System, analyze that magical beast.]

The system instantly analyzed the magical beast's power.

----

Name: Ice Cheetah

Race: Cheetah

Age: 23

Rank: N/A

Talent: Grade E

Strength: Lvl 10

Agility: Lvl 11

Stamina: Lvl 10

Mana Capacity: Lvl 8

----

Xiao Ming was a little relieved after seeing the magical beast's status.

Sure, Ice Cheetah's strength, agility, stamina and mana capacity levels were higher than his, but the difference between their levels was only one level or two.

'The difference between our levels is small.'

He believed he could defeat the magical beast.

The Ice Cheetah turned its head to look at Xiao Ming.

"Grrr…" the magical beast was unhappy because Xiao Ming disturbed them.

"Ren, leave!" Evelyn did not want to drag him into her problem.

Even though the Ice Cheetah was not strong, but Xiao Ming was weak. Magical beasts were stronger than humans on the same level.

That was why she told Xiao Ming to leave because, in her view, he would not be able to defeat the Ice Cheetah.

Of course, Xiao Ming ignored her words.

'You are my future, so there is no way I will let that damn beast kill you.'

When he said she was his future, what he meant was that he needed her talent to become stronger.

Evelyn had grade A talent, and he had bound his system to her, so he had to save her no matter what happened.

[God of Harem states this is a good opportunity to win that beauty's heart.]

[God of Sea agrees with God of Harem's words.]

[Goddess of Love nods her head.]

[God of Wind says show that beast the power of the chosen one.]

Several notifications popped up.

The magical beast instantly attacked Xiao Ming.

"Grrr…" a single orb of freezing particles appeared in front of its mouth.

Xiao Ming wasted no time and instantly jumped to the left side when he saw an ice ball flying toward him.

Boom!

The sound of the ice ball hitting the cave wall reverberated in the entire area.

"Ren!" Evelyn's face turned worried.

She wanted to help Xiao Ming, but she could not do that. Not only was she unable to use her magic, but she was also injured.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The Ice Cheetah kept attacking Xiao Ming with his Ice Ball as if the magical beast did not want to let Xiao Ming get close to it.

Of course, Xiao Ming did not give up.

*Left…right…left…right…

He ran toward the Ice Cheetah in a zig-zag, avoiding all the ice balls.

'A chance!'

He raised his sword, intending to attack the magical beast's body.

However, something unexpected happened.

The magical beast suddenly attacked him using its claw!

Xiao Ming changed his mind and instantly placed his sword in front of his chest.

Boom!

Even though he managed to block the magical beast's attack, but he was still thrown against the cave wall.

"Ren…" Evelyn forced herself to walk to the Ice Cheetah before stabbing him with the wooden stick.

"Grrr…" the magical beast turned around.

"It seems like you are underestimating me!" Xiao Ming rushed toward the Ice Cheetah and attacked its legs.

*Slash…Slash…Slash…

Purple blood came out of the magical beast's legs.

"Grrr…" the Ice Cheetah returned his attention to Xiao Ming.

At this moment, Xiao Ming was already in an Iai stance.

His intention was clear.

He wanted to use his secret technique!

When the Ice Cheetah was running toward him, Xiao Ming was ready to use his secret move.

'Moon style sword of drawing techniques- third form: Desert Storm.'

Yes, it was the same secret technique he used to defeat the Flame Chicken.

The Ice Cheetah was only a little stronger than him, so Xiao Ming believed the third secret move was enough to kill it.

*Slash…Slash…Slash…

His attacks were fast and aimed at the fatal areas.

Of course, the magical beast tried to defend himself and attack Xiao Ming, but Xiao Ming still managed to land his attacks on its body.

*Drip…

Blood came out of the Ice Cheetah's body like flowing water.

"Grrr…" the magical beast looked at Xiao Ming for the last time before finally falling to the ground, dead.

The expression of deep shock blossomed on Evelyn's face.

'What?'

She still found it hard to believe what she was seeing.

Usually, magical beasts were always stronger than humans on the same level because their instincts were sharper and their bodies were tougher.

However, Xiao Ming still managed to kill the Ice Cheetah. The Ice Cheetah had even only managed to land one hit on Xiao Ming's body during the fight.

No, the magical beast never landed an attack on Xiao Ming's body because he managed to block the Ice Cheetah's attack earlier.

Sure, the Ice Cheetah was not strong, but what Xiao Ming did was still amazing!

[God of Harem says well done.]

[Goddess of Love nods her head.]

[God of Wind gives you a thumb up.]

[Goddess of War glances at you.]

[God of War is interested in you.]

[Several Divine beings are getting more and more interested in your secret technique.]

"Big sister…" Xiao Ming rushed toward Evelyn.

His expression turned worried when he saw her condition. Because he had bound his system to her, he had some familiarity with her.

Sure, he still hadn't fallen in love with her, but his feelings for her were more than friends. It was as if they had known each other for a long time.

Of course, Evelyn also felt the same. This was the reason why she was worried about his safety when he fought against Ice Cheetah earlier.

[Ding! The quest is complete.]

[Ding! Host has received Angel Spark Necklace card (1). Host can find it in the inventory.]

Xiao Ming ignored the notification and helped Evelyn sit on the stone platform.

Unlike usual, she behaved normally when he held her hands and helped her sit on the stone platform.

Previously, her body always tightened whenever she came in contact with Xiao Ming.

"Thanks." She expressed her gratitude for helping her.

Xiao Ming's face turned sad when he saw all the wounds on Evelyn's body.

Evelyn was touched and smiled softly. "I'm fine. It's just minor injuries."

Even though Xiao Ming did not say anything, she could tell what he had in mind because it was written on his face.

At this moment, Xiao Ming remembered something.

He had a Health Potion card!

'Yes. I can use that health potion card.'

Even though Health Potion was important, he still wanted to use it for Evelyn.

'Wait! Why do I care about her so much? It's as if she is my lover, not someone I just met. Is it because I have bound my system to her?'

He was also stunned by his behavior toward Evelyn.

[Host, you have bound your system to her, so it's normal.]

'Hmm? Does that mean she cares about me too?'

He had no idea that Evelyn really cared about him.

[Yes. Even though she still hasn't fallen in love with you, you are already more than a friend in her heart.]

Xiao Ming finally understood everything.

"Big sis, wait here. I have something that can heal your wounds faster." He could not activate the Health Potion card in front of her because she would be suspicious of him later.

The binding system was his trump card, so he would not reveal it to anyone.

"Alright." Evelyn nodded her head.

However, something unexpected happened when Xiao Ming was about to walk out of the cave.
