“Now that I have the chance,
I will never let you go, Riona.”
Nux spoke with a big smile on his face. Riona widened her eyes in surprise, her face turning red. Feeling his hand touching her, she felt a burning sensation in her entire body. Her heart started racing and Riona knew that if she didn’t do anything, she would be completely under this shameless pervert’s control.
“S-Stop!!”
She shouted.
Then, with the intent to escape from this situation, she changed the topic,
“Now is not the time to talk about all this! We need to worry about the Dragon Lord! He might attack the elves, we need to prepare for it.”
“He won’t attack, don’t worry.” Nux spoke with confident smile on his face, his hand however, still caressing Riona’s lower back, only teasing her perky butt but never touching it.
Right now, he wasn’t even using any force to keep Riona from going away, the woman was sticking to him on her own accord without realizing it.
Amaya, who noticed that, couldn’t help but look at her mother with a smug look on her face.
How many times has other her mother called her a fool for her husband? The number was so large that Amaya couldn’t even keep a count.
Now, however, the time when she could get her revenge was close.
“This is the Dragon Lord we are talking about!
That man is too unreasonable and can do whatever he wants. You cannot predict his actions, there are 40 Divine Stage Dragons flying near the Elven Forest, if he does order an Attack, the 30 Divine Stage Elves won’t be able to resist!”
In the battle between Divine Stage Cultivators, the rest were merely cannon fodders, there numbers did not matter.
So even though there were only 40 Dragons attacking, those 40 were enough to annihilate the entire Elven Forest of the face of Yrniel.
“The Vampires will not help and you know it!”
Riona added.
Alaric’s stance about this all was still the same.
A fight between so many Divine Stage Cultivators would bring too much destruction. If Vampires join in, it might even mark the end of Yrniel. The Vampire King would keep a neutral stance throughout the case.
Even back then when Arcturus had decided to attack Nux in the Human Trial, the only reason Alaric was there was to intimidate Arcturus. He would have never allowed a head-on battle.
Amaya was the one who came up with an idea.
After talking with Vyriana for so long, she understood one thing, the Order never cared about the people of Yrniel, however, this didn’t mean they didn’t care about Yrniel all together.
They were fighting the otherworlders to protect Yrniel, they couldn’t possibly allow it to be destroyed because of some infighting.
Alaric coming there and deciding to go ‘all out’
with his forces to face Arcturus Forces was Amaya’s way to manipulate everything and force the Ancestral Order to make a move.
The Vampire King was in this plan from the start, he had also stated that if the Ancestral Order didn’t make move within the first 10 minutes, he would retreat.
So although Alaric did ‘side’ with Nux in that ordeal, in truth, the Vampires couldn’t be considered allies. In this fight against the Dragons, Nux and his people had to rely on themselves.
In this scenario, saving their people was of utmost importance! The Elven Divine Stage Cultivators, and the Elven People, to get Lyriana’s full support, they needed to ensure both their safety.
“You are thinking too much, Riona.”
Nux, however, was calm.
“We know that Alaric isn’t on our side, Arcturus does not.” He spoke.
“The only reason Arcturus decided to make an enemy out of us was because we were weak, we were someone he could crush and no one in the entire Yrniel would bat an eyelid. In front of us, he could act arrogantly.
But the Elves aren’t the same. Arcturus is not a complete idiot, he knows if he decides to attack, then with their people at sake, the Elves would have no reason to hold back, he would lose a significant amount of his forces, even losing more than 20 Divine Stage Cultivators and other Cultivators being heavily injured wasn’t impossible.
The Dragons’ strength would dwindle and if that happens, others forces would never miss this chance to clear the weakened Dragon Forces.
Arcturus would never do something so foolish.
Especially when he thinks that the Vampires are on our side and might use this chance to attack them.”
Nux was confident.
He already knew that the 40 Dragons flying near the Blood Kingdom and Elven Forests were nothing but a way to intimidate the Succubi.
As to why Nux was taking all the elves here, Well, it was all for gaining Lyriana’s acknowledgment.
Manipulative, yes.
But it wasn’t like Lyriana couldn’t see through this. She wasn’t the Queen of Elves without a reason, she could tell what Nux was doing, the only reason she was playing along with this was because she wanted to make sure that her people were completely safe.
She wanted to protect them from even the slight chance that Arcturus might lose his mind and decide to attack them.
And the only way she could do that was by relying on Nux and his mysterious ways.
“Heeh, look at you coming up with all these schemes. You even played all those people in the Lust State without even being there.
I am fearing my position as your advisor, you know?”
Amaya spoke with a slight pout.
“Why are you taking all these intelligent decisions?” She questioned.
Nux, however, just laughed out loud.
“You become like the people you surround yourself with.
How can your intelligence not rub off on me? Or did you think I would always rely on you to come up with a new scheme for every minor thing.”
“I wouldn’t mind that, you know?
You just need to pay me appropriately.”
Amaya spoke with a seductive smile on her face.
“Eeeh? How about I pay you for your guidance instead?”
Nux came up with another idea and Amaya soon nodded.
“We can work that out, indeed.”
“Hahaha~”
Nux laughed out loud as he kissed Amaya’s neck.
Amaya lifted her head, giving him all the space he needed.
And Riona, who had the closest view to this scene couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. To think her daughter would act like this, that too, in front of her mother!
Then suddenly, Nux paused.
He lifted his face and turned towards Riona.
Riona’s heart skipped a beat. She feared what would happen next, especially when together with her son in law, her daughter was now staring at her as well.
And as if they wanted to intimidate her further, Demonic smiles appeared on both their faces, Amaya glanced at Nux and,
“Darling, then please clear all our previous bills through this payment.” She spoke.
“What can I do for you, my lady~”
Nux questioned, knowing exactly where this was going.
“My dear mother,
Help her cultivate.”
“W-What…?”
Riona couldn’t understand, but suddenly,
“As you command, my lady.”
Nux spoke as he then sealed Riona’s lips.
“!!!”
Riona’s eyes widened in surprise.
She wanted to move away, however, for some reason, she couldn’t do it. Rather, she just closed her eyes and stopped thinking about everything that had been bothering her all this while.
All of this was simply too complicated to make sense of.
It was much better to simply shut her brain and go with the flow.
Seeing that she had given in, Nux left Amaya and gently grabbed Riona. Continuously, rubbing her back to calm her stiff body.
He could tell that it was a difficult decision for her, so he wanted to make her as comfortable as possible. The boundaries they were going to cross, he wanted to take this slow.
Nux ended the kiss, not using the tongue.
He then stared at Riona, waiting for her to open her eyes.
Riona took a moment, then, she finally opened her eyes, her entire body trembling, her face full of uncertainty.
“Be mine, Riona.”
Nux spoke as he sealed her lips again.
It was just a short peck on her lips, however, Nux didn’t stop and kissed her again, then again, and again, and he continued this till Riona’s body had stopped trembling.
One last time, Riona glanced at her daughter who was standing behind Nux, Amaya nodded with a genuine smile on her face and Riona finally closed her eyes.
She had truly given in and decided to go with what her heart desired.
“You are currently an Incomplete Emperor Stage Cultivator.”
Suddenly, Nux brought up a strange topic that made Riona open her eyes and frown.
What was he suddenly talking about at a time like this?
Nux, however, continued,
“Although we do need to tackle the problem of you being an Incomplete Cultivation, according to what Vyriana said,
With your age, if your Cultivation declines to the Expert Stage after recreating your foundation, it will lead to serious issues since an Expert Stage Cultivator, no matter Complete or Incomplete, cannot stay alive for longer than 200 years.
So first, in order to ensure your safety, we need to increase your Cultivation to at least Great Sage Level before I give you the technique to rebuild your foundation.”
Nux spoke and Riona had question marks all over her face.
“J-Just what are you talking about?”
