1144 Trust me, I am an expert in this field
“You need to be careful from now on.”
Vyriana spoke as she glanced at Nux.
Normally, Overseers weren’t allowed to leave together with a particular Clan after a challenge ended, this shows bias towards a particular clan, which went against the Order’s rules.
The Dragon woman, however, was known for her tendency to break rules. After all, people who would dare to step forward and tell her to stop were… well, extremely limited.
“Vyriana, just admit it, you have already fallen for me, only a wife worries for her husband as much as you ar-”
Before Nux could complete his sentence, he was sent flying, however, before he could crash into the wall, his body turned into white mist, completely negating the force, he returned to his human form as he then glanced at Vyriana with a playful smile on his face.
“Tsundere.”
He commented.
“I stop myself from killing you so as to not waste all these years I have spent in turning you into something slightly useful, but you really know how to test my patience, don’t you?” Vyriana replied, looking right into Nux’s eyes with a cold look on her face.
If it was before, Nux would have started trembling, heck even his wives, who had spent all these years together with Vyriana, were slightly worried, however, Nux just smiled,
“That’s what they call initial attachment.
Trust me, I am an expert in this field.”
He really was pushing his luck.
And Vyriana did not like that.
“Do you really think I cannot kill you?”
“Of course not, you can kill me any time you want.” Nux shook his head, after spending so many years with her, he did understand one thing, Vyriana’s pride was unreasonably high. The moment she took it as a ‘challenge’ she would do it even if that action might have dire consequences later.
So telling Vyriana she could not kill him, that was no different than asking for death, since Vyriana would, even now, kill Nux if he didn’t tread carefully and Nux knew it well. Therefore, there were times when he needed to take a step back.
Of course, this didn’t mean he would just give in like he did all those years ago, if he did that, then the nearly two centuries he spent with this woman would be wasted, “But do you really think it is worth it? Don’t you think getting to fight me once I become stronger than you would be much more interesting?”
Nux decided to use Vyriana’s pride against her.
“Heh, this is why I do not like arrogant men.” Vyriana laughed as she glared at Nux.
“I have learned from the very best.” Nux chuckled.
“If only you could have learned more. You had the best teacher yet you were the worst student I have ever had.”
“Come on, that’s a clear lie.”
Nux’s expression suddenly changed the moment Vyriana said those words.
In these years he spent with the Dragon woman, unknowingly, he had picked some of her perks as well.
Extreme Pride was one of them.
“There is no way you have taught someone better than me. Take that back.” Nux spoke directly as he appeared in front of her.
After reforming his Body, Nux was now 194 cm tall, and Vyriana, he was quite tall compared to Vyriana, who was only 181 cm, so when he stood right in front of her, looking into her eyes with that serious look on her face, any passerby who didn’t know who Vyriana was would indeed see them as a couple.
That, however, was not important right now,
“I won’t take my words back. I indeed have taught bett-”
“Names, give me names.”
Nux interrupted.
“You are not strong enough to defeat them yet.”
“Give me names, Vyriana.”
Nux was not having any of it.
Vyriana stared at him for a while and not wanting to give in, she used her trump card, “Astaria Leander.”
She had learned a lot about Nux in all these years as well.
“…ah.”
Nux’s expression changed.
“Well, I can’t fight her. Astaria Leander is indeed quite competent.” Nux nodded his head.
“I tol-”
Vyriana was about to reply but then suddenly, her expression changed.
“I believe I have already told you to stay away.”
She spoke with a sour look on her face.
Nux frowned in confusion, he extended his senses, trying to understand who Vyriana was talking about, however…
First time in a long while, Essence failed to sense a presence.
He couldn’t find anything or anyone around them. Nux even believed that Vyriana was mistaken, however,
“I was told that someone changed the Overseer, I had to come and see.” An extremely calm and beautiful voice that seemed to put one’s heart at ease was heard.
Nux and his wives tried to look around, extending their senses to limits, doing their best to understand where the voice came from, however, no matter what they did, they couldn’t find the woman.
Vyriana, on the other hand, didn’t even bother looking around and with an unpleasant expression on her face, she replied, “Do not try to fool me, you would never bother with things like these and risk coming out.”
“Not like they can sense me, even their Masters would need to train for another million years to be able to do that.”
The voice turned haughty. Nux could actually imagine the owner snorting in disdain. The Dragon woman, however, was not amused.
“That is not what I am talking about.” She wasn’t going to allow that annoying Vampire to change the topic so easily.
“Alright, Alright, I will admit, I was quite curious about the little boyfriend you have found.”
The voice chuckled, and hearing those words, a big smile appeared on Nux’s face, “I do not know who or where you are, but, I will say one thing,
Your observation skills are top-notch. I am impressed.”
“Oh? Well, consider me impressed as well.
Not many can deal with this woman like you do.”
“That is obvious. My Vyriana is not someone just anyone can handle,” Nux continuously nodded his head.
“Indeed indeed.” The voice agreed.
Vyriana, on the other hand, could feel her mouth twitching, a nerve bulged out on her forehead, and seeing that expression Nux gulped.
…he may have taken it a bit too far.
‘Shit…’
He cursed.
