Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 45: Going to the Forest Again

"You really don’t need to send me home, Ren." Lexie uttered.

Lexie and Ren were currently on their way to her home. He was on her left side and holding an umbrella, sharing an umbrella with her.

"I just want to make sure you get home safely." Even though they were not a couple, he still did not want something bad to happen to her.

They had shared many things in the last few days.

They even had sex for six rounds in his hotel room several minutes ago, so she was more than a friend or business partner to him.

Lexie’s face blossomed into a smile.

Even though it was a simple action, it still made her happy.

’I will fall for him if he keeps treating me well like this.’

It had been a long time since the last time she was thrilled like that, so she almost could not control her happiness at that moment.

Under countless raindrops, the duo chatted and chuckled happily.

Even though it was raining heavily, it did not affect the good atmosphere; instead, it made them happier because talking and sharing an umbrella under the rain lifted their mood.

After walking for several minutes, they finally arrived at her house.

"Are you really going home immediately?" Lexie, who was on the terrace, inquired.

"I just want to make sure you get home safely. Now that we are at your house, I feel at ease." They had spent together for a whole day, so he would not monopolize her because Luna also needed her.

"Be careful on your way home, Ren." She did not force him to stay because he had refused twice.

Ren smiled softly and waved goodbye.

Lexie did not enter her house immediately.

She remained on the terrace until he disappeared into the distance.

’Thank you for the happiness you have given to me today, Ren.’

She turned around and headed to her room with a soft smile on her face.

Time went by quickly and without realizing it, it had been three days since Ren and Lexie had sex in his room.

At this moment, Ren was on his way home from Lexie’s house.

He sold many things to her, such as his spare space rings, weapons, etc.

However, he bought cooking equipment because he would need it when he was in the forest or somewhere far from the city.

’It seems like I really need to hunt magical beasts.’

He could not create potions without beast cores because he still did not know how to get a new magic affinity.

’Alright. I will go to the forest tomorrow.’

Right after entering his room, he slept right away because he needed good stamina to fight magical beasts.

----

The following morning, Ren bought vegetables and put them in his space ring. He did not want to eat magical beasts all the time, so he decided to buy vegetables.

’Alright. Everything is ready. Now, it’s time to go to Framingburns forest.’

To his surprise, he met Lexie and Luna on his way to the gate.

"Big brother..." Luna rushed toward him with a happy smile.

Ren smiled softly before finally squatting down.

Unlike the last time, he did not carry her.

He only pinched her soft cheeks before finally rising to his feet.

"What are you doing in this place, Ren?" Lexie asked curiously.

"I just bought some vegetables for food supplies in the forest." Ren gave an honest answer.

"Vegetables? Forest? Do you want to go to Framingburns forest now?" Lexie threw another question at him.

"Yes." He said he needed beast cores to make potions, so he had to hunt magical beasts.

For some reason, Lexie was sad upon hearing his answer because she would not be able to meet him for several days if he went to Framingburns forest.

Of course, she would not say it or tell him not to go to the forest because it was his right to go to the forest.

Luna grabbed the hem of his T-shirt and spoke, "Big brother, when will you come back?"

Like Lexie, she was also sad.

They played together every day since he helped Lexie get the Purple Moon flower, so she was sad when she learned that he would go to the forest.

"I don’t know, but I will return as soon as possible." Ren responded.

Actually, he liked living in the city more because he could sleep on the soft bed and would not be lonely.

However, he needed money to continue living.

Hunting magical beasts also could increase the system exp, so it was like killing two birds with one stone.

Lexie and Luna then escorted him to the gate.

On their way to the gate, Luna kept holding his right hand.

They were now really close, to the point that he was much closer to him than Lexie’s subordinates.

"Be careful in the forest, Ren. Don’t risk your life. Safety first and beast cores second." Lexie told him not to do reckless things.

Ren smiled and nodded his head. "Yes. I will remember it."

’Hmm?’

He squatted down in front of Luna when he saw her sad expression.

"We will take a walk around the city and play together for a whole day after I return." Ren said as he smiled.

"Un." Luna nodded her head cutely.

He then turned around and walked toward Framingburns forest.

"Big brother, be careful in the forest and return quickly." Luna shouted as she waved goodbye.

Ren walked backward and waved goodbye.

’I will be back soon.’

Framingburns forest, Inner Region.

Framingburns Forest was located right behind Nightshire City.

Its area was huge and deep.

Framingburns forest was divided into two regions: outer and inner regions.

Most 1-star and 2-star magical beasts lived in the outer region.

Of course, there were some 3-star magical beasts living in the outer region.

However, most of them were weaklings that ran out from the inner region or got driven out from the inner region.

The White Tiger and the Winged Lion that tried to kill Ren two months ago were magical beasts that ran away from the inner region.

They could not handle the harshness of life in the inner region, so they headed to the outer region because they could become kings in the outer region.

Unlike the outer region, the inner region was filled with powerful magical beasts.

It was normal for one to meet a 3-star magical beast in the inner region because there were a lot of them in the inner region.

Even though the life in the inner region was harsh, but it was also filled with a lot of opportunities to get stronger because countless magical herbs grew in the inner region.

Yes!

One of the methods for magical beasts to get stronger was by eating certain magical herbs.

Of course, not all magical herbs could help them grow stronger because each magical herb had different effects, such as healing, making their bodies stronger, etc.

Ren decided to go to the inner region because he wanted to make high-quality potions. At least, middle-grade potions, so he decided to hunt powerful magical beasts.

’The sun is setting. I will hunt magical beasts tomorrow.’

He used the Lighting Movement skill to find a place to rest.

Coincidently, he found an abandoned house near him, so he used it as a place to sleep.
