1263 He used my powers…!?
“You don’t need to know that.”
Vulpiana spoke with a cold look on her face.
“Oh? Are we keeping secrets between us now?” Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
“Don’t act like we are close,” Vulpiana spoke as she freed herself from his grasp and created distance between the two of them.
“Wouldn’t it be strange to say this when you practically kidnapped me to this unknown place using an unknown ability?”
Nux smiled.
Yes, he was extremely curious about the ability the Fox Girl used, however, what he was more curious about was that this woman herself.
As a man of culture, those tails and ears were his big weakness, especially when it was combined with Vulpiana’s cute face. Not to mention that when the woman tried to act cold and mature, it made her even more adorable.
“…”
Vulpiana didn’t know how to reply. Nux seemed to have an answer to almost every retort she had. She couldn’t tell him the reason she used a supposedly secret ability right in front of him.
She could blame him for suddenly appearing behind him, however, she was the one sneaking around near his Clan’s base in the first place, she didn’t have a say here.
It was a confusing situation for her where she was finding it hard to continue the conversation, of course, it didn’t really matter since Nux’s interest in her was so high that she didn’t have to put any effort.
“So? Why are you here? Were you missing me so much that you couldn’t help but come and meet me?”
Nux initiated.
“Do not flatter yourself,” Vulpiana replied coldly.
Nux just smiled, not speaking anything.
“…”
Vulpiana turned silent as well.
She realized that if this continued, it would work, she was told to keep an eye on Nux and learn more about this man, she could not do that with this attitude.
“How did you know about my Time and Space Powers?” She questioned.
“Someone told me,” Nux replied.
Vulpiana narrowed her eyes and,
“Who is it?”
“You know I can’t tell you that, right?”
“What do you need to reveal that information?” Vulpiana didn’t waste any time and questioned directly.
“Hmmm.” Nux started thinking.
Then, he looked right into Vulpiana’s golden eyes and, “An opportunity to make you my wife?”
“What…?” Vulpiana frowned in confusion.
“Are you up for it?”
“What are you even talking about?” Vulpiana blinked in surprise.
“Do I really need to write it out for you?” Nux sighed.
“I find you attractive and wish to make you mine.” He spoke directly.
He couldn’t help but notice that he really had become much more direct compared to before. Back then, he used to flirt with women, slowly working his way up till the woman opened up and he confessed, these days, he directly speaks his mind and most of the time, the woman in front of him acts flustered, “Stop joking around! I need to know how you knew about my powers!” Vulpiana shouted.
“You know, Vulpiana, you acting like that makes me feel that you have a deep secret you wish to hide from the world.”
The moment Nux said those words, Vulpiana froze.
Suddenly, she realized something.
She didn’t have the card to keep Nux in check anymore. The fact that he was the Devil was already known by most, but there were still many who didn’t believe it since they didn’t see it with their own eyes, however, the leaders of most major powers already knew about it.
They found it strange, however, with so many mysteries surrounding this man, him being the Devil was the smallest of the highlights. No one knew how to act on their doubts anymore, Nux’s power was something almost everyone craved, if he was any weaker, he would have already been caught by some powers who would then try to learn the source of his powers.
Now, however, with the influence Nux had shown, none dared to step in front of him. After all, even the Strongest Power in Yrniel had big losses after messing with him, normal powers wouldn’t even know when they would be wiped out if they messed up with him.
Nux was not an existence just anyone could defend.
At the very least, the powers in Yrniel couldn’t offend him.
Only the Ancestral Order and Black Order had the strength to do it.
And with Vyriana sticking right next to Nux, everyone knew what the Ancestral Order’s stance was.
Not to mention those 2 humans who appeared out of nowhere, beings that even her mother was scared of. For the first time in a long while, Vulpiana saw her mother make that expression when she heard the report about the situation.
Heck, she even went as far as stopping all the activities till things calmed down and those monsters returned.
Anyways, that was not important for now, the thing was,
Vulpiana didn’t hold Nux’s weakness anymore. The meaning behind it was clearer, with this, she had no way of keeping him silent about what he knew about her powers. She couldn’t stop him from keeping it a secret from others, heck, there might even be the chance that he had already revealed it to others.
The moment this realization kicked in, Vulpiana’s aura changed.
Nux was a threat.
A threat she needed to remove as soon as possible.
This time, she didn’t even bother to discuss it with her mother and just as she was about to press the Artifact she was carrying, Nux, who sensed her changed aura and her hostility smiled and, “Of course, having a secret only makes you more interesting in my eyes. It urges me to try and demystify the mysterious you, get to know you better, learn every little thing about you, It makes you more desirable, Vulpiana Dawnshade.”
Seeing those possessive eyes, Vulpiana gulped involuntarily.
“And it goes without saying, but you don’t have to worry about me revealing your secrets to others either.
I would never do something like that.”
“Why would you not?” Vulpiana narrowed her eyes in doubt.
This was not something she could be careless about, especially when the one in front of him was a man with so many deep strong connections.
“Hmm? Wouldn’t I be a fool if I revealed our little secret to everyone in the world? Then what would make the two of us unique? What would make me unique in your eyes?
I would keep this secret to myself, with that, you would continue to try and learn about me, and using this opportunity, I would get to know you better as well, and then the two of us would fall in love.
Or at least that is how I am imagining things to turn out.”
“…”
Vulpiana was speechless.
Nux continued to look into her eyes with a smile on his face and Vulpiana finally realized, “…you are serious about this.”
“Of course, you had doubts?” Nux questioned.
“…”
Vulpiana was surprised, she couldn’t believe the never-before-seen prodigy was someone like… this… someone so… simple… “…aren’t you just a pervert?” Vulpiana questioned.
“I thought that was a well-known fact by now.”
“I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.”
“You don’t need to do that, I am a man who does not lie to myself, neither do I lie to others. I say what I wish to say, I dislike playing games, especially with people I really like.
And I hope people I like mirror my energy as well.”
Nux spoke as he glanced at Vulpiana with a meaningful look on his face.
“You are strange…” Vulpiana commented.
“Isn’t that a good thing for you? I highly doubt you would want others to know about your secrets. Me being ‘strange’ ensures that, no?”
“Or… I could kill you and keep my secret forever.” Vulpiana spoke up.
She found it hard to believe that a man who defeated the Dragon Lord, brought the Dragon Continent to its knees, destroyed a Top Clan, has someone like Vyriana supporting him, is someone so simple.
She felt like Nux was hiding his true face behind this ‘simple’ face of his.
It was the fear of the unknown that was troubling her. She wanted to get rid of the problem by ending this once and for all but, “Now that won’t do, Vulpiana.”
Nux spoke, this time, the aura around him changed.
Suddenly, Vulpiana realized that she had lost control over her body.
She couldn’t move!
Even activating the Artifact in her hand wasn’t possible!
Her eyes widened in fright, then, she noticed Nux walking toward her with a smile on his face, “I cannot die because if I do, my wives would be disheartened and the last thing I want is for that to happen.
I may be a simple man, Vulpiana, but I am not a simple enemy.
I do not know what sort of power you have behind you but I am not your enemy yet.
Let’s keep it that way, okay?”
Nux spoke, bringing his face dangerously close to the Fox woman, their lips were barely half a centimeter away. Nux was in complete control of the situation whereas Vulpiana couldn’t move no matter how much she tried, Then, Nux backed away, the dangerous aura around him disappeared like it was never there, and, “After all, you are someone I wish to spend my entire life together with.”
Nux chuckled.
Vulpiana finally regained control over her body, however, before she could say anything, she heard Nux’s voice, “Anyways, it was fun talking to you, Vulpiana.
I still have some things I need to take care of, so I will take my leave now.
Also, don’t forget to visit me again, if you don’t I will come looking for you myself.”
Before Vulpiana could stop him, Nux disappeared using [Harem’s Gate] and Vulpiana’s eyes widened in surprise.
‘He… He used my powers…!?’
