1038 Vulpiana Dawnshade
“The Power of Time and Space,
I am quite curious about it,
How about we sit together and discuss it?”
Nux spoke with a playful smile on his face, however, the moment Vulpiana heard those words, her entire persona changed.
She quickly turned around, her golden eyes shined brightly as she glared at Nux and,
“How do you know about it?”
She didn’t even bother hiding or playing ignorant, the words “Time and Space’ had a special impact on her and she dropped all the formalities.
Seeing her reaction, Nux’s smile widened.
Out of all Seven Heroes, the strongest one was without a doubt, Vedier.
However, he was a man.
Nux never cared about him.
His eyes have always been on the Fox Hero, this blue- haired, golden-eyed Beauty in front of him, just those six fluffy tails and ears were enough to grab Nux’s attention, however, Vulpiana was more than just some random Fox Girl.
No, Nux didn’t care about her being one of the Seven Heroes,the Seven Heroes were nothing more than Complete Cultivators,they were nothing special in Nux’s eyes,
Vulpiana, however, was different.
Nux’s Golden eyes shined as he glanced at the Fox Girl glaring at him.
[Name: Vulpiana Dawnshade.]
[Age: 689]
[Cultivation: 6-Tailed Fox]
[Race: Fox-kin (Time and Space)]
[Title: Heir of the Dawnshade House]
[LVL: 118]
[Battle Power- 1,335,217]
[Potential 20,000,000]
Nux glanced at her Status again and he couldn’t help but chuckle.
He had no clue what the fuck was he seeing. That was why he was so curious about Vulpiana.
First, there was no Mana and Body Cultivation in her status, there wasn’t even a normal Cultivation Stage in her status, according to the System, her Cultivation was ‘6-Tailed Fox.
What did that mean?
Well, when Nux asked around after looking at her status the last time he met Vulpiana when she attended his marriage, he learned that the Foxkins had a completely different Cultivation System than any other race in Yrniel.
Rather than Mortal- Emperor- Great Sage-Saint-Divine, their cultivation levels depended on the number of Tails they had.
Comparing it with the Cultivation System of other races, this was the rough outlook known to the common people.
O tails: Mortal to Advance.
1 tail: Master to Grand Master
2 tails: Expert to King
3 tails: King to Emperor
4 tails: Emperor
5 tails: Sage
6 tails: Great Sage
7 tails: Semi Saint
8 tails: Saint
9 tails: Divine Stage.
Vulpiana being a ‘6-Tailed Fox’ meant that she was as strong as a Great Sage Cultivator.
A completely different Cultivation System, as surprising as it was, it was still common knowledge Nux had no clue about. For the people of Yrniel, it was something normal, and since Vulpiana was the first Foxkin Nux encountered, he could understand why he or even his wives from the Forgotten Continent didn’t know about it.
However, the “Time and Space’ written in place of her Bloodline, that was something nobody knew about.
No matter who Nux questioned, even Eisheth, a Divine Stage Cultivator, had no clue what Bloodline was. She even called Nux a crazy bastard when he asked her about it and told him to focus on his marriage.
Nux realized it the first time he met her, Vulpiana was hiding a secret.
What it was, he didn’t know, however, one thing was clear.
Vulpiana Dawnshade was someone far more complex than ‘One of the Seven Heroes’.
Even the Title she had, unlike the other Heroes, who all had ‘One of the Seven Heroes’ as their Title, Vulpiana was the ‘Heir of the Dawnshade House.’
Nux didn’t make any moves the first time he met Vulpiana because it was his marriage and he wished to focus on his wives, not to mention Vyriana’s presence was overwhelming, even someone like Vulpiana who was no different than a mysterious treasure, in front of the Aura Vyriana released, she was outshined.
Now, however, things were different.
Nux’s eyes were on Vulpiana.
The Youngest and the Second Strongest of the Seven Heroes, yes, even though Vulpiana was one level lower than Elijah, her Battle Power was nearly 200,000 higher than him. Someone like Vulpiana could defeat Elijah with her eyes closed, however, she still held back.
Both the fact that Vulpiana was the Youngest of all the Heroes and her True Strength, no one knew about it. Vulpiana had kept it a secret.
In Nux’s eyes, the more he looked at Vulpiana, the more ‘attractive’ she got. Nux wanted to unravel all her mysteriousness and just bury his face into those 6 tails all day.
“I asked how do you know about it.”
While Nux was thinking all that, Vulpiana stepped towards him and questioned.
Nux looked around and noticed that some sort of barrier had formed around them, guessing it was most probably something that would stop others from listening to them, Nux chuckled.
An interesting idea came into his mind.
“I have my ways.” With a playful smile on his face, he replied.
He wanted to see how far he could push this woman.
“Nux Leander, I will ask one last time, how did you know about it?”
Vulpiana questioned and this time, Nux was the one who was taken aback.
Even the World Leaders here didn’t know who he was… Heck, even Elijah, the one he had fought before, even he couldn’t recognize him…
Then how…
‘The Dawnshade House huh…
Guess I need to visit this House soon!’
Nux thought inwardly.
He wasn’t really intimidated by Vulpiana knowing his identity, he wasn’t really trying to hide it. People who knew him and his abilities, people like Eisheth, Orpheus, Ambrosia, and a few others, they should be able to identify him from the way he fought.
Vulpiana, however, was not part of that group, Nux was definitely surprised that the Fox Hero was able to identify him.
“I can ask the same question, how did you know about my identity?” Nux questioned.
Honestly, he was just happy that he got a topic to talk with her. Even though Vulpiana seemed to be boiling with
anger from his answers and was seeing him as a threat, Nux was glad that she wasn’t just saying, ‘No, I don’t want to talk to you’ and going away.
As for her treating him as an enemy,
There were lots of ‘enemy turning into a lover trope’ weren’t there?
Who says that it won’t be the same in this scenario?
Nux believed in himself, the path to Vulpiana’s heart, he would find it soon enough.
“It was just a guess. The abilities you used were similar to Nux’s, I guessed blindly and your reaction gave it away.
I answered your question, now answer mine.”
Vulpiana questioned.
“You were too sure for it to be a blind guess.”
“That is what you call a bait and you fell for it.” Vulpiana’s answer was direct.
“Oh? Then why didn’t the other Heroes ‘guess it blindly”? You sounded a bit too sure, Vulpiana.
It was almost as if you had done a thorough background check on me.” Nux spoke with a curious smile on his face.
“You defeated Elijah, the Second Strongest Hero who was strong enough to battle against Vedier when he was Great Sage. Of course, I will look into who you are and where you came from.”
“Is that so…?”
Nux muttered as he looked into Vulpiana’s eyes.
This woman was definitely suspicious. Maybe it was because she was on edge because of the Time and Space thingy, however, Vulpiana made a mistake.
Guessing Nux’s identity through his abilities was not a difficult task, however, the problem was. The current Nux in front of her was an Incubus, not a Human.
Just the fact that Vulpiana could even think of the possibility of a Human turning into an Incubus…
Not to mention that her reaction to this entire situation was a little too bland…
Someone who she knew was a Human had appeared in front of her as an Incubus and rather than being absolutely mind blown about it like others, her attention was more on the fact that he knew about her ‘secret’.
It was as if Vulpiana already knew about him being able to transform into an Incubus.
Something she definitely should not know.
Thinking about it from this perspective, this time, even Nux was feeling a bit strange.
Maybe… Maybe he was getting involved in something he shouldn’t be getting involved in.
Nux couldn’t help but stare at Vulpiana in silence.
Vulpiana did the same.
It was a silent battle of mind with both trying to get into each other’s head. Vulpiana wanted to know how Nux knew about her ‘secret’ while Nux was trying to learn about this entire situation in general.
“Are you two done?”
Suddenly, both Nux and Vulpiana heard a voice.
It was Vyriana who was standing right in front of them.
Seeing her standing so close to her, Vulpiana widened her eyes in shock, it was as if she couldn’t believe that Vyriana passed through her ‘barrier’ and she couldn’t even sense it.
“This is not the place for you two to get into romantic relationships, do that somewhere else.”
