1118 Your Goal sounds weak.
“What if I do make the impossible possible?”
“Then I will become your wife as you desire,” Vyriana replied with an expressionless look on her face.
“It is a deal then.”
Nux smiled.
“Whatever you say. Now go rest.”
“Are you sure you are not coming with me?”
“Any more tries and I will punch you again.”
“…” Nux turned silent as she shook his head.
“…”
His wives, on the other hand, had no idea how to react.
What in the hell was happening here…?
Why were the two of them… bickering like husband and wife?
Well, that was not the correct analogy since Lady Vyriana was literally rejecting Nux right on his face, but…
Why didn’t it feel like a normal rejection?
Why did this rejection feel so… emotionless?
It was not just Nux not taking the rejection properly, even Vyriana, why was she… rejecting him, then treating it as if it was the most normal thing to do before continuing the conversation?
It was as if it was all an act played by two bad actors.
“…is Lady Vyriana going to be our new Sister?” Skyla suddenly questioned, unable to bear the silent mood.
“Sk-”
“No.”
Vyriana shook her head firmly, then, she glanced at the other women and, “What are you standing here for? Go back and continue with your training. As for you, go and sleep.”
She ordered and the next moment, the crowd dispersed.
“She is definitely going to be our new sister…”
As she was walking away, Skyla muttered to herself.
Vyriana, who heard that could feel her mouth twitching. She really wanted to beat that shameless man up, however, for now, she decided to let him rest.
Nux may not realize it, however, he was currently in a critical situation and she needed to take care of him.
Therefore, as the crowd dispersed and Nux’s wives went back to their training, Vyriana walked towards Nux.
Nux, who was lying on a large vine with a fresh huge leaf as a pillow, glanced at Vyriana and smiled playfully,
“Are you here t-”
“Don’t even.”
Vyriana warned and Nux paused.
The Dragon woman then walked and sat next to Nux, “You should sleep.”
“It would be more comfortable if you could give me a lap pillow.”
Vyriana glared at Nux.
“I only need this so I can rest well. No ulterior motives.”
Nux raised his head.
Vyriana stared at him for a while and then, she sighed.
A moment later, she took out a pillow from her storage ring and extended it towards Nux.
“…” Nux stared at her with a deadpan look on his face.
“It would be more comfortable. If you want, I even have a bed in my storage ring.”
She wasn’t falling for Nux’s trick.
Vyriana wasn’t a woman in her teens.
“You are too petty.” Nux snorted.
“I would have done it if I wasn’t aware of your intentions. I do not wish to give you false hope.”
“Why are you so against having a partner anyway?”
“Most cannot keep up with me.”
“I don’t think I would have a problem with that.”
Vyriana stared at Nux and actually nodded, “You are right, but you weren’t there when I was looking for a partner and now I have already chosen my Path. A Path where I do not require a Partner.”
“That sounds like an incredibly lonely path.”
“You make it sound like it is something bad.”
“I definitely do not see that in a positive light.”
“I have been following this path for thousands of years, Nux. I can assure you, it is not as bad as you are making it out to be.
At the very least, I don’t lose my mind if I do not stay around my partner for a mere century or less, now that would be annoying.”
“That is because you haven’t lived the other path. Think about it, I followed through with your training, and even though it was extremely difficult, not once did I give up, yet even I become crazy if I do not get to see my wives for more than a while.
Why is that?
Just think about it.
There must be something I get from my wives that keeps me going back to them, shouldn’t there?”
“What else? Don’t act like I do not know.
You crave Intercourse.”
“Heh, that is just a part of it. What I crave is the expression in their eyes when they look at me, the relief, the care, the worry, different expressions they show that express their love for me, the feeling of being loved that is what I crave.”
“And I do not crave that.” Vyriana shrugged.
“Because you didn’t bother experiencing it.
What is the point of the Path you have chosen anyway?” Nux questioned.
“To reach the Peak, achieve Absolute Strength.” Vyriana’s answer couldn’t be quicker.
“No, that is the Goal of your Path, the Destination. I want to know what is the Point of the Path. The reason you took this path, what will you do after you reach your destination?”
“I…”
Vyriana couldn’t answer and since she couldn’t, she decided to return the question, “What about you? What is the Point of your actions?”
“I do everything I do to spend the rest of my life together with my wives.”
“Then why bother cultivating? You are already doing it right now, rather, you can even say cultivation is getting in your way.”
“Cultivation is just a way for me to protect my ultimate goal, protect my peaceful happy life with my wives. I want to become so strong that no one would dare to try and take what I have.”
“You are decently strong already, just settle in some backward place.”
“And who will guarantee that someone stronger than me wouldn’t try to harm me or my wives?”
“That is highly unlikely.”
“Yet it is still a possibility. I cultivate to remove that possibility.”
“That’s not a very grand goal.”
“I believe it is grander than just achieving raw strength and then being absolutely clueless after getting it.
Rather than, ‘Once I reach the summit, I will do this.’, your goal sounds like, ‘I will spend my entire life trying to reach the summit.’
Your Goal sounds like you lack confidence in actually achieving it.
Unlike the usual arrogant Vyriana I know, Your Goal sounds… weak.”
