1287 Time can be as strong as it wants to be, it wouldn’t change anything.
“What I am trying to say is… how about I help him understand just how amateurish his thoughts actually are? Once he realizes that, he would obviously change his ways, no?”
Lilith spoke with a big smile on her face and seeing that smile, both Lilith and Allura frowned, they didn’t like the Succubi Progenitor’s smile one bit.
Lilith, however, completely ignored their reactions, suddenly, her expression changed, with a smirk, she snapped and, Crack
The space cracked.
Allura frowned in confusion, Aisha on the other hand, felt déjà vu. Just like it happened before, the space around them crumbled like a mirror hit by a rock.
A few seconds later, both Aisha and Allura found themselves inside Aisha’s room, nothing around him changed, or at least that’s what they believed but since they knew that wasn’t possible, they turned towards Lilith who was smiling playfully as if she was waiting for her someone.
“What did you do?” Aisha questioned.
Lilith, however, stayed still.
Soon, her smile widened and suddenly, a Portal opened inside the room and a man stepped out.
“Are you two alright? I couldn-”
Nux paused when he noticed Lilith’s presence.
“Now this is surprising.”
Nux commented.
“You should learn how to greet your seniors, boy,” Lilith spoke.
Nux stared at her for a while, but in the end, he just bowed his head and, “Greetings, Lady Lilith.”
“That sounds so formal, it feels almost as if you are forced to greet me.” Lilith chuckled.
“…” Nux only stared at her in silence.
Lilith frowned, “You do not like me, do you?”
It wasn’t hard to guess.
Nux however, shook his head,
“That is not the case, Lady Lilith.”
“Oh come on, you don’t have to hide it, tell me, why do you like me? I don’t remember doing something that could possibly hurt you and you don’t seem to have that attitude when you meet other Progenitors, then why me?”
Lilith questioned with a curious look on her face.
Her tone made it clear that she wasn’t particularly sad or offended by Nux’s attitude, she simply wanted to know what the boy was thinking. After all, it was quite rare for her to not be able to read someone’s thoughts through their actions, especially a man’s.
“I am not lying, Lady Lilith. I do not hate you. I have no reason to do so.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“Then why do you act differently in front of me compared to the others?”
“That is because I tend to be more cautious around you,” Nux replied and Lilith narrowed her eyes, “Cautious? Why is that?”
A wry smile appeared on Nux’s face, “You didn’t exactly hide your intentions the first time we met, Lady Lilith.” Then, he turned towards his wives and, “And you taking my wives to a place where I am not able to reach them doesn’t help the case either.”
“Ah, I apologize for that. I had something I wanted to discuss with them. Actually, the three of us did come up with something after our discussion ended, would you like to hear it?”
Nux tilted his head and then glanced at Allura and Aisha, the look on the two women’s faces was enough to tell him that they weren’t in on this plan.
Of course, Nux didn’t exactly have the option to say no to Lilith.
“What is it?” He questioned.
Lilith smiled as she glanced at Nux and then, “How about you let me use Illusion on you?”
“What…?” Nux narrowed his eyes.
“I can assure you that it wouldn’t harm you.” Lilith clarified.
Nux however, was still confused, “It is still not something I could simply say yes to, Lady Lilith, I would need to know more about what you are trying to do here.”
“I merely wish to show you just how strong Time actually is,” Lilith replied but seeing the frown that still hadn’t left Nux’s face, she knew she had no option but to explain further.
“You say that you would continue loving your wives for the years, centuries, and millennials to come, correct? You find what we Progenitors do quite disgusting, no?”
“Disgusting is quite a strong word-” Nux wanted to deny, however, “Don’t bother, it wasn’t exactly hard to read your expression that day.”
“…”
Nux couldn’t say anything.
He tried to hide it the best he could, however, the first emotion he felt after hearing about the Progenitors was disgust.
A society where people have sex without feelings being involved, a place where rather than being a special thing that only the people with a special bond with each other share, sex is merely a tool for entertainment… Just how… disgusting is that…?
Nux couldn’t imagine himself living in a society like that.
Now he didn’t consider himself to be a traditional man, his possessiveness, however, would never let him live in such an environment.
He would simply kidnap his wives and disappear to a place where no one could see them.
And as if Lilith could read his mind,
“This is where you are wrong, Nux Leander and this is where I want to correct you.”
She spoke up.
Nux looked at her and frowned, Lilith continued,
“You seem to consider Sex as some sort of sacred ritual that only people who have a sort of bond with each other could do, but in truth, sex is no different than any other activity a living body requires.
The world gave us the organs to use them, putting restrictions on them made no sense, and you would realize it once you let me cast an illusion on you.
I won’t do anything, you would only be living life like you normally do, for 10,000 years and I assure you that once you return, you will be a completely different man, much more different than your current immature self.”
Lilith spoke and Aisha and Allura frowned.
They didn’t like what Lilith said at all.
After all, Nux wasn’t the only one who was disgusted by the Progentitor’s way of living, with them being with Nux, just the idea of getting close to another man disgusted them to the core.
Of course, the two of them trusted Nux with all their heart, however, the one in front of them was a Progenitor and somewhere along the line, Lilith had a point.
In front of her, they were no different than little children. The world Lilith had seen was much wider than what they knew it to be, if someone like her was saying something, they couldn’t just arrogantly discard it.
Nux allowing Lilith to use Illusion on him… might turn out to be a mistake and Allura and Aisha’s worst nightmare.
“Lady Lilith, as much interested as I am in what you are saying, I see no reason to do something like this when I already know the end results.”
“You do?” Lilith frowned.
“Of course, 10,000 years would pass and the first thing I would do when I return would be to hug and spend time with my wives.”
Nux then looked into Lilith’s purple eyes and,
“Absolutely nothing would change.
Time can be as strong as it wants to be,
My love, my feelings, my possessiveness, my craving for my wives, will never change.”
Step
Lilith took a step back as she stared into Nux’s eyes which were shining intensely and the moment she realized that, she turned towards her leg that had stepped back and froze.
‘What…?’
She couldn’t believe it.
She felt intimidated… by a child…
She stepped back in front of a child…
Lilith looked back into Nux’s eyes, that golden pair of eyes that seemed as if it was looking right into her soul… In the end, Lilith couldn’t help but smile.
This feeling that she just felt… She wanted to feel it again… She wanted to know what happened.
She wanted to know why she stepped back.
Her interest in Nux shot through the roof and her smile turned creepier by the second.
“L-Lady Lilith…?”
Nux called out…
He couldn’t help but feel goosebumps crawling all over his body as Lilith stared at him with that crazy smile on her face.
“You said nothing would change, correct?” Lilith questioned.
“That is correct.” Nux nodded confidently.
“Then why don’t you prove it?” Lilith offered.
“I have no reason-”
Nux was about to deny but then,
“I will give her Primordial Level Blood if you do.”
Lilith spoke as she pointed at Allura.
And just as she expected, Nux’s expression changed.
And as if to strike when the iron was hot,
“And once the two of them become Divine Stage Cultivators, I can even give one of them a drop of Blood, similar to what you received from Caesar, how about it?”
Lilith offered and in an instant, Nux was hooked,
“I agree.”
Lilith’s smile widened.
‘Nux!’ Allura tried to warn Nux using the connection.
Nux however, just turned towards her with a smile and,
“What? We are getting a Strong Bloodline for free. What’s the issue?”
“But…”
Allura still wasn’t sure.
She felt like she was being used as a hostage to make Nux accept conditions he didn’t want to, however, “Alright then, get ready girl.”
Lilith spoke up as she looked at Allura.
“What…?” Allura frowned in confusion.
“Primordial Blood, I’ll be giving that to you.”
“Right now…?”
Allura blinked.
“You think I have all day?”
Lilith spoke as she then activated the Magic Circle and a drop of Blood appeared on top of her hand. Soon, a Magic Circle started shining under Allura’s feet as well.
The Succubi Progenitor wanted to seal the deal as soon as possible.
