Noa's eyes glisten with ecstasy when she looked at her slightly advanced status. Compared to the first time, it was more detailed and her House Points were thousands of times more.
"I can finally buy the Demonic Foundation Reset Pill and Thief Assassin Principles Cultivation Technique at once!" Noa muttered to herself.
Noa knows the moment she took the Demonic Foundation Reset Pill, her strong cultivation base of Qi silver river core will be instantly gone, and she'll have to cultivate again.
That's why she first collected plenty of House Points, so she could buy the soul cultivation technique as well with the foundation reset pill. This way she doesn't have to worry about any thief point for some time.
Furthermore, she had to rely on Ace for protection when she become weak, and she felt extremely complicated about this because she'll become a burden to him. This was one of the reasons she still didn't take the pill, and she was waiting for him to complete his cultivation season before taking the next step.
Noa's dark eyes darted toward Ace, who was currently sitting while his eyes were closed just like a statue. She seldom came to this secret chamber in these six months, and every time she found Ace in the same position.
But she was puzzled about the small dark ash mound in the corner of this secret room. She clearly remembered this was much bigger than the last time she saw it three months ago.
'Just what is the leader doing?' Noa mused.
Anyhow, she didn't disturb him nor did she go out anymore because the entire city was now searching for her, and she knew this was going to draw some unwanted attention, especially from Duke Livy, who paid extra attention to his territory.
Besides, she wanted to quickly cultivate in soul path and start practicing the alchemy when she reset her cultivation because this way she'll learn the soul Qi control as well, which helped her tremendously.
She had already planned all this and now was just waiting for Ace!
Ace, on the other hand, did not know that Noa was here, nor he could feel his surroundings because he was deeply immersed in the soul-piercing bullet skill for ten days and even forget about his surroundings.
Two more days passed and finally, Ace's eyes sprang open, blazing with soul Qi, and for a moment, ten soul projectiles appeared behind him before vanishing into the air when he blinked.
His lips curled upward when he felt he could now condense ten soul bullets at once with middle-level mastery, and they were much more powerful compared with the low-level soul-piercing bullets!
Ace wanted to test this skill, but he knew this was a killer move, a trump card, not something he could try randomly. He finally noticed Noa looking at him with curiosity and anticipation not far away from him.
He smiled faintly and said, "You're finally back."
Ace would get a thievery notification occasionally, which was also a kind of report that Noa was doing fine, so he wasn't much worried about her.
"Yes…" Noa softly replied.
"How much time has passed? What about the outside world? Did something happen while I was in seclusion?" Ace did not know how long he was training and what was happening outside.
"Leader had been in seclusion for over six months and besides some minor issues, everything is normal outside. The noteworthy thing is that Duke Livy had posted a huge bounty on me a few months ago while there wasn't any word about Leader and Golden Iron Demon Clan and Silver Iron Demon Clan didn't fall out with each other as Leader think they would after finding that bandit in his daughter's room." Noa quickly reported the big incident to Ace, while clearly hiding her deeds.
Ace quietly listened and let Noa finish her report before saying, "I underestimated that Demon Duke Livy. He knew if he said anything about a foreign intruder escaping his imprisonment, his reputation would take a tremendous blow and probably be punished by higher authorities. That's why he was trying to capture you, so he could find me through you.
"As for the Silver Iron Clan and Golden Iron Clan, this was within my expectation. I just wanted to see the bottom line of the Silver Iron Clan's Leader while also measuring the Golden Iron Clan's Leader's patience and greed for his position. I had to say both of them did well."
Ace wasn't looking flustered at all. On the contrary, he smiled ambiguously, as if everything was going according to his plan.
Noa had guessed this much on her own, but she didn't know what Ace was trying to achieve here, but she didn't ask since he didn't tell her.
She quickly changed the subject and report her own matter. "Leader, I want to reset my cultivation. What's your thought about this?" She was enthusiastically waiting for this but didn't dare to do it without finding Ace's opinion on it.
"Hmm?" Ace was naturally astonished at hearing this and questioned, "Did you collect enough house points for both pill and cultivation technique?"
He didn't think Noa would be so quick to collect over ten thousand house points.
"Yes, I have over twelve thousand house points at this moment!" Noa quickly told the truth to Ace, it wasn't a point in hiding from him at all.
Ace didn't quickly agree to her request and mulled. He knew if Noa reset her foundation, she'll lose all of her power with it and had to cultivate it again.
But this will take away his powerful helper for a while. Yet he didn't want to stop her, since it would be too selfish of him and akin to blocking Noa's path. He knew the sooner she reset her foundation, the better it was for both of them.
'What the hell I'm hesitating for? I was always a loner, and I can't depend on others too much.' Ace hesitated no more and quickly said with a confident smile, "Just go for it, you don't have to worry about me. I can protect both of us."
Noa's eyes lit up in delight when she heard Ace's words, but she still hesitantly asked, "A-are you sure?"
"Don't worry if I wasn't confident. Do you think I'll let you do this? Besides, I'm not planning to go outside anytime soon." Ace chuckled.
Noa finally felt assured when she heard Ace's words. She knew this place was perfect to stay hidden as long as they wanted and no one will be able to find them because these special stones block all the Qi fluctuations from both inside and outside.
With no delay, Noa fell to her knees and she eagerly 'prayed' out loud, "Goddess, please grant me the Demonic Foundation Reset Pill with your grace!"
Ace was speechless as his eyes spasmed seeing her praying posture and felt a little bit embarrassed about it since he was the one who guide her this way.
"Ahem… you don't have to kneel or pray out loud like this. Just think, in your mind, and the goddess will grant your wish as long as you had the house points." Ace coughed to hide his embarrassment and corrected her.
"Oh…" Noa nodded in understanding since it was her first time buying anything from the shop.
______
[Purchased has been successful!]
[Demonic Foundation Reset Pill has been delivered to House Member storage space treasure!]

[Noa Night House Point(s): 2,800]

Noa promptly looked inside her storage ring and found a dark crystal pill with a strange red pattern on it.
'This is simply magical!' She was awed by the way to goddess delivery method. She didn't even feel a thing when her storage ring was fiddled.
Ace also saw the pill in Noa's hand and knew she had already purchased the foundation reset pill from the system successfully.
He has never seen those red patterns before and mused, 'They look like rune symbols, but not at the same time, and just simple lines.'
Anyhow, Ace didn't dwell on this too much since alchemy wasn't his forte and he was just a tier-one rune crafter right now. How could he scrutinize something from the system?
Noa said fervently, "Leader, I'm going to start!"
Ace merely nodded with some expectation in his eyes. He also wanted to see just how will an impossible to reset foundation will reset!
Noa quickly relaxed and calmed her mind, and finally, she took off her mask!
