Ace was again astounded when Pixy confirmed his doubt by directly replying to Moira, and he again wondered just how many more secrets the mischievous true spirit was hiding from him.
On the other hand, Moira was startled before replying belligerently, "I donât care who you are, but spying on someoneâs conversation is rude!"
"Hehe~ how fiery," Pixy giggled playfully as if not bothered by Moiraâs impertinence, as if she didnât even hear it, "But I like it!"
"YOU...you are irreverent!" Moira berated in a cold tone, making it clear that she didnât like the impish true spirit at all.
Ace was speechless as he never thought Pixy could make Moira so aggressive, not to mention he had never seen the taciturn talk like this before.
But he absolutely canât let these two form a grudge against each other, especially because they both were irreplaceable.
"Alright Pixy, donât be rude to Moira!" Ace sternly berated Pixy since it was indeed Pixyâs fault for suddenly interrupting their conversation and also not revealing about this spy ability.
"Alright, alright, Iâll listen to you since Iâm very obedient." Pixyâs voice instantly turned gentle and acquiescent.
But Ace sneered, not buying the act as he was already quite aware of Pixyâs mischievous personality.
Furthermore, Pixy suddenly showing herself to Moira and intruding like this amidst their conversation didnât mean she was just being socialist or wanting to make friends with Moira.
After all, if Pixy really wants to be acquainted with Moira, with Pixyâs abilities, she can freely enter Aceâs inner world and approach Moira instead of exposing her like this, and even offering Moira.
At this moment, Aceâs eyes flashed with guile, "Moira, Iâll teach Pixy a lesson later for her rudeness. But right now, I think we should hear Pixy as Iâm really sure that sheâs interested in Transcendent Void Obsidian, right Pixy?"
"What? She also wants Transcendent Void Obsidian?" Moira sounded alarmed, as basically, the Transcendent Void Obsidian was a crucial material for repair.
If it were for Aceâs sake, she wouldnât even hesitate to give up on it, but since Pixy hadnât left a good impression on her by spying on her conversation with Ace, and from Aceâs words, Pixy also seemed to be conspiring to get it instead of requesting it, Moira would absolutely not give it away!
"Hey, hey, hey~, he said Iâm âinterestedâ in it, not âwantsâ it!" Pixy instantly jumped to correct Moira, while she didnât deny Aceâs assumption either.
But Ace still didnât completely believe her because if Pixy was interested in something, it couldnât be just pure curiosity, and knowing her unbridled, she might secretly use it later when Ace wasnât paying attention.
Still, Ace believes that Pixy wonât go that far because using thief points secretly and taking important materials without asking were two different concepts; he still couldnât help but think this way.
"Let me make one thing clear..." Ace sternly declared, "...unless itâs something ridiculously important, I wonât give you the Transcendent Void Obsidian, for this belonged to Moira as she found it herself. If I encountered another one, Iâll gladly give you next time as long as you can give me a proper explanation."
"What the...?" Pixy sounded flabbergasted as she annoyingly retorted, "For the last time, I donât want your Transcendent Void Obsidian! Although itâs a rare Transcendent Grade-10 natural and very hard to form, I donât need it!"
"Grade-10? A forbidden grade natural treasure of Transcendent Grade!" Ace was shocked when Pixy unknowingly or deliberately revealed the actual grade of the Transcendent Void Obsidian.
The system only gave Ace the list of materials required to repair Moira, and Moira seemed to have an innate attraction to those materials, so he never really knew their true grades until he found them or the system revealed them through their names.
This time, except for the Knowledge of Astral Stele of Mortal Ascension Heaven, every other material seemed to be Transcendent Grade, but not their exact ranking within the Transcendent Grade. Not to mention, Ace thought he would only encounter them after ascending the Mortal Ascension Heaven.
However, not only did he unexpectedly find one of the Transcendent Grade natural treasures in the Abyss of Wandering Soul, but it turned out to be a Forbidden Grade natural treasure as well, which made its appearance here even more shocking and unbelievable.
âJust what is the background of the Undead Cradle?â
Ace thought with a solemn expression.
"Hehe, well, calling it âForbidden Gradeâ wonât be wrong because this grade meant perfection and perfection meant catastrophe!" Pixy playfully yet profoundly stated with a hint of creepy coldness that went unnoticed by Ace or Moira.
"Then what exactly did you want? I would never believe you really want to have a conversation with us about treasures." Ace inquired as he instinctively felt that this matter related to the Transcendent Void Obsidian was going to become more complicated.
"Geez, what do you take me for? I really want to make friends with Moira here, since itâs pretty boring watching those little brats running around the Thiefâs Space all day long. Only an Eternal Provenance Treasure is barely qualified to be my friend! Hmph!" Pixy arrogantly stated matter-of-factly.
Dark lines appeared on Aceâs forehead as he frowned deeply and also felt slightly amused when Pixy mentioned âbratsâ because she was talking about Cyrusâs little group.
"Barely qualified?!" Moiraâs cold voice filled with passive anger, "If thatâs the case, then youâre not qualified to be my acquaintance."
"Hehehe~ now donât be aggressive, just wait, Iâll personally come and visit you soon. Right now, Iâm teaching these brats a lesson for eating spirit herbs from my garden!" Pixy still didnât seem to be offended.
"Learn some manners first!" Moira sounded really exasperated right now.
"Wait? What are you doing exactly?" Ace was suddenly alerted and wanted to see the thiefâs space right now.
"Ahem, donât worry." Pixy quickly spoke as she changed the topic, "Donât distract yourself with these small matters because you have a great opportunity to not only satisfy the Eternal Provenance Treasure but also help yourself!"
