Binding System

The full moon hid behind the gray clouds, and countless raindrops soaked the ground.

When most people were sleeping soundly in their room, an attractive young man was lying on his bed and looking at the ceiling.

Anyone would think of him as a dead man if he did not blink because he had not moved his body since he lay in bed.

That young man was none other than Xiao Ming, the grandson of the Ruler.

He had complicated feelings after reading a letter from his father, so he headed to his room to sort out his feelings.

He needed some alone time to think about himself and his predecessor!

Sure, he still saw himself as Xiao Ming, but some part of him had accepted his new identity after reading the letter.

Ethan's love for his predecessor was so deep, to the point it touched his heart and affected his body.

'I'm Xiao Ming, but…'

His mind was in a mess.

He did not want to accept his new identity, but he was using his predecessor's body.

He did not want to acknowledge Ethan as his father, but his love for his predecessor touched his heart, and his body reached itself when he thought of Ethan.

He even cried when he read Ethan's letter.

He could deny Ethan's existence, but his body could not do that. He could refuse to accept his new identity, but his body could not do that.

'I'm Xiao Ming. My father is Xiao Liu Feng and my grandpa is Xiao Tian. I'm not Ace, I'm Xiao Ming.'

The pain within him grew bigger every time he refused to admit his new identity.

'Father, grandpa, what should I do?'

He was young in his current or previous life, so he did not know what to do sometimes.

"What should I do?" he mused.

[God of Lust says accepting your new identity doesn't mean forgetting your old identity.]

[God of Wind agrees with God of Lust's words.]

[God of Sea says that's right. You are still Xiao Ming. Just think of your predecessor as your other identity.]

[Goddess of Love utters you should not deny your new identity anymore because you are using your predecessor's body.]

At this moment, Xiao Ming suddenly saw his father in front of him. In the cultivation novels he read in his previous life, they would call it divine thought.

"What's wrong, son?" Xiao Liu Feng inquired, "Why hesitate over a small matter like this. Just accept your new identity."

"Father?" his eyes widened for a second.

"Whether your name is Ace or Xiao Ming, you are still my son." Xiao Liu Feng added, "This will never change forever."

"That's right, little Ming." Xiao Tian suddenly appeared on his right side.

"Grandpa?" he did not expect to see his grandfather too.

"Little Ming, you are using your predecessor's body, so it's not good manners to keep denying your new identity." Xiao Tian spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "Whether you are Ace or Xiao Ming, you are still my precious grandson."

"Just accept your new identity because no matter what happens, you are our family." Xiao Tian and Xiao Liu Feng spoke in unison before finally disappearing.

Xiao Ming finally knew what to do.

'What father and grandpa said is right.'

He would not be able to have a second life if it were not for his predecessor's body, so denying his new identity was the same as disrespecting his savior.

'My predecessor, I'm sorry.'

He apologized to his predecessor for always denying his new identity.

'I'm Xiao Ming, but I'm also Ace.'

He finally could make up his mind.

'Xiao Ming is Ace and Ace is Xiao Ming. Nothing will change because I'm both Xiao Ming and Ace.'

He had finally accepted his new identity completely now.

At this moment, his predecessor suddenly appeared before him. His predecessor smiled gently before finally turning into countless tiny lights and entering his body.

Xiao Ming, no, Ace placed his right hand on his chest. "Let's enjoy this world together, Ace."

Not long after that, Ace fell asleep.

[God of Wind shouts, who did this little trick? Come out and show yourself!]

God of Wind was unhappy because one of the Gods used a trick on Ace. No, there was a reason why he was unhappy.

He wanted to use the same trick to make Xiao Ming accept his new past identity in the past, but he changed his mind because he thought they shouldn't help him out too often.

This was the reason why he was unhappy because he felt as if someone had snatched his place.

[Several Divine beings are laughing.]

Ace did not know about this because he had fallen asleep.

----

The following morning, Ace took a walk to get familiar with Nightshire city.

At first, he wanted to practice his secret techniques, but he changed his mind because he wanted to get familiar with his new place.

'What a beautiful day!'

He strolled around the city with a smile on his face.

At the same time, a young lady walked toward Scarlett's house. The lady had blue hair and red eyes.

Even though her face was only in the category of standard beauty, but any man would drool if they saw her.

The reason was simple.

She had a curvaceous body!

Not only did she have a sexy body, but she was also tall and had big breasts.

If she had a beautiful face like Evelyn, they would call her fairy or goddess. That young woman was Scarlett's friend, Layla Haynes.

One of the maids immediately took her to Scarlett after she rang the doorbell.

"So, why did you call me, Scarlett?" Layla, who was sitting on the couch, asked curiously.

She was currently in Scarlett's office. Her office was huge, with a workbench in the middle of the room.

The window was located on the right side of the workbench while the sofa was placed in front of it.

There was also a small plant on each corner of the room. She did this because she wanted the air in her office to always be fresh.

Instead of answering her question, Scarlett inquired, "Do you know someone who can undo the seal?"

"Seal?" Layla was startled after hearing her words.

"Yes." Scarlett responded, "Someone put a strong seal on Ace's body. He doesn't remember everything now."

"What?!" Layla said in surprise.
