Eternal Thief

After regaining her calm, Alina spoke with a tingle of inquisitiveness, “Can you tell me why you agree to share your man with other women? Aren’t you afraid of discrimination?”

Eva’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly before she replied, “I’m more afraid than you could ever imagine. But this is where trust comes into the picture. I trust him to do justice, and I don’t think there would be any need for it at all.” Her eyes went deadly cold, “Especially as long as I’m here.”

Alina could feel Eva’s true intent from that bone chilly coldness swirling in those dark eyes and sighed ruefully, “I never thought my brother would find someone like you after I left, and I guess it was a blessing for him. You give him another reason to move forward, and I should be grateful for that, but truthfully, I’m not.

“Nevertheless, it won’t mean I don’t mean I don’t approve of you as his first wife. I even admire you a little.” Alina chuckled in self implore.

At this moment, Alina suddenly smiled, full of meaning, “You are right, maybe I was there to find Ace so I could live with him and spend a lifetime, and if he were still mortal and had married, I would’ve left or stayed, I guess we never found out about it now.

“But now that he’s different and belongs to the world of cultivation, I should also start thinking like the norms of the cultivation world, not some mortal girl living in her dreams.

“In the cultivation world, an excellent man indeed can have more than one wife since their lifespan is so long. But an excellent woman would never allow another to reach the same spot as herself by some mediocre woman.

“No matter what you say, you also have your pride and dignity far more than me because you are far superior to any woman who exists in this world.

“But I don’t care and just want to let you know this, I’m not your match right now. But in the future, I want to fight for that position you stole for me just one time, and if you lose, our positions will switch. If you can agree on this, I’m in.” Alina declared.

Eva was astonished when she heard Alina’s bold words, ‘She wanted to be the first wife?’

“Hahahahaha…” Eva broke into a wanton laugh. It was extremely melodious, yet at the same time, it was extremely eerie and filled with abyssal-like coldness.

Alina didn’t flinch as she kept staring at Eva, who was laughing as if she had heard the biggest joke. But she was dead serious.

Before, she never thought she would envy another woman since she never thought of others as her match or even bothered to evaluate them. But Eva was entirely different.

She bluntly took something that was supposed to be her, and she was peerless in both beauty and talent. She truly envied her so much so that she unknowingly made Eva her target which she had to overcome and take back what should be hers.

“That’s enough!” Ace’s cold voice rang in the house at this moment since he couldn’t watch this anymore. These two women were someone he cared about more than anyone else in this world. If they end up turning into enemies, he won’t be able to choose one over another.

Furthermore, he had already made a solemn promise to Eva that she would always be his first. No matter who comes after, this won’t change ever. Even Alina can’t change that!

“Alina, Eva is a good person, and she is someone I love, and this won’t change, ever. On the hand, you are also very important to me. There is no need to take our relationship in this direction. It was all just…”

“Stay out of it!” Eva uttered at this moment, “This matter is between us two. No one needs you to justify anything. Besides, tell me, can you her into another man’s arm?”

Ace was stumped by this question and wanted to reply, but no words came out of his mouth. On the contrary, his heart aches just thinking about Alina being another man’s wife.

“Heh, I think so as well. Now stay out of our girl’s affairs. It has nothing to do with you.” Eva sneered with disdain, yet her heart was going wild with ecstasy because of Ace’s words, and she felt extremely giddy.

Then she looked at Alina, who had this peculiar expression with a hint of strange elation as well.

‘She’s also happy, huh?’ Eva pursed her lips and finally said, “You want my position if you could beat me?”

Alina nodded without hesitation, “Yes.”

“Heh, let’s clear something first, I’ve never stolen it, but I’ve earned it. Now, to answer your challenge, I’ll accept it. If you can beat me, you can be the first wife. But you only have one chance, and if you missed it, I want you to call me big sis from that day forth. But let me also warn you. I will never lose to you or to anyone. You can count on that.” Eva arrogantly declared with boundless confidence.

Alina squinted her eyes as she could feel Eva’s conviction behind those last words.

Nevertheless, she got what she wanted, another shot to earn her place back. She smiled icily, “We’ll see, won’t we?”

She then looked toward the ceiling and asked gently, “You agree, right? You won’t have any qualms about accepting me as your first wife in the future, right?”

Ace was lost for words, and he could feel Eva’s piercing gaze, and he knew if he answered this question wrongly, he could forget about peace.

“Sigh, you two just figure it out among yourselves. Lately, I have no say in this sort of thing at all. You all can do whatever you want but leave me out of it. I’m Sky Stealer, not Women Stealer.” Ace perplexedly replied as one could hear the pain in his words. No one asked for his opinion that if he wanted another wife or not.

This was truly a sad story, and he was finally starting to get why some of the memories he had from males were always lamenting about the fickle heart of women.

“Hmph, don’t sound so gloomy. You get another beauty of your dreams!” Eva snorted with disdain.

Alina snickered at Eva, “At least you know who’s in his dreams!”

The air instantly turned icy. It was the birth of an epic rivalry between two women and also the start of two legendary factions of the Thief House!
