1365 Can’t do that if you slam my face like this…
“Took you long enough.”
Vyriana commented as she glanced at Nux with narrowed eyes. Seeing her expression, Nux smiled wryly.
The rest of the women, however, simply decided to walk out of the room, completely ignoring Vyriana. After all, they had much more important things to do.
Some of the women had already formed their Laws, once they break through and become a Divine Stage Cultivator, they would be able to stay with Nux while he trains in Solitude’s End.
Considering the absurd time difference between Yrniel and that place, those women would be able to spend hundreds of years with Nux while the rest would be stuck in this place, cultivating.
None of the women wanted that, therefore, right now, forming their Laws and breaking through was the only thing on their minds.
Vyriana, who noticed that she was left alone in the room with Nux quickly calmed down and dropped the topic of Nux taking more time than she expected.
“Are you ready to leave?” She questioned.
Nux raised his eyebrow when he noticed the change. Soon, he just chuckled and decided to go with the Dragon’s flow and dropped the topic. After all, he had a much more important question in his head.
“Where is Mother?”
He couldn’t see Faustina. With how the Progenitor was acting, time didn’t seem like something that would bother her, especially when it was a mere month. Nux thought that the woman just left because she was bored of waiting and expected her to return now that he was back.
Vyriana, however, shook her head.
“Let’s move to the Solitude’s End first.”
A frown appeared on Nux’s face. He didn’t notice it before, now, however, he could tell something had happened. Vyriana was acting differently than her normal self.
After observing her for a while, Nux simply nodded and decided to follow the woman.
…
“So? What is it?”
The moment they teleported to the Solitude’s End, Nux questioned directly as he looked into Vyriana’s eyes.
The Dragon didn’t try to hide it either, just like how she had spent decades together with this man and knew him quite well, she knew that the same was true for him as well. He knew her just as well as she knew him and she couldn’t possibly hide her thoughts from him.
“From where did you get that technique?” the Dragon questioned.
Nux tilted his head, soon however, he realized what she was talking about and the realization finally dawned on him.
“So that’s why Mother isn’t here.”
“…”
Vyriana turned silent. Neither denying nor confirming his words. Nux however, didn’t need her answer, he already realized the truth.
“Did she think I wouldn’t tell her?”
He questioned.
“Would you?”
Vyriana questioned back.
“…”
Nux turned silent.
Explaining about Essence would eventually reveal the existence of his System, his deepest secret and something that only his wives knew about. Even people close to him like Lyriana, Eisheth and the others didn’t know about it.
Would he reveal such a secret to Faustina?
Although Nux didn’t wish to say it out loud, the answer, however, was already clear in his heart.
No matter how close the woman had gotten and how much she had helped her till this day, the System’s existence couldn’t be revealed.
Yes, even now, Nux didn’t fully trust Faustina, after all, the woman was a Progenitor who was millions of years old, just a few decades were in no way enough for him to know whether he could trust her or not.
Heck, even now, the Progenitors and their strength were still a mystery to him and Nux wasn’t foolish enough to trust a person who was surrounded by countless mysteries no matter how much she had helped him till now.
Seeing him silent, Vyriana narrowed her eyes.
She had gotten a clear answer to her question, this answer, however, gave birth to another question, “Would you… tell me…?”
She questioned with an uncertain look on her face. Yes, she had been with this man for a long time now and had even spent more time with him than all his wives, in the end, however, she wasn’t his wife.
For some reason, her heart started beating quickly and her body quivered, for the first time in a long long while, Vyriana was afraid.
She feared that the answer to her question would be something that might tear her world apart and when she sensed these feelings, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
She didn’t know why all of this bothered her so much.
Whether Nux answered her or not shouldn’t matter to her. After all, he was merely a husband of her disciple, nothing more, yet her body… “Hmm? What do you mean? Of course, I would tell you. You are different.”
The moment Dragon heard those words, her heart nearly exploded.
“W-What?” She stuttered and noticing his reaction, Nux couldn’t help but frown.
“What?”
“I-I am different…?”
“Of course you are. Why are you so surprised? Vyriana Origin, you mean a lot more to me than any other random woman would.”
Saying those words, Nux walked close to Vyriana, a playful, seductive smile appeared on his face as he looked right into the Dragon’s eyes and, “After all, we kissed and I don’t just kiss random women. I kiss to mark my territory, Vyriana and since I have kissed you, I have long considered you my territory.
You are mine, Vyriana Origin.
You have every right to know anything about me.
You are different from the rest of the women around me and if you need proof of that, then I can kiss you right now and settle all these questions you have in your mind.”
Saying those words, Nux extended his lips, taking his chance since he got it after such a long time. Vyriana, however, wasn’t a fool.
The moment she realized what the man was doing, she grabbed his face with her hand and then, BAM
She slammed it right onto the ground.
“Now start talking.”
She ordered.
‘Can’t do that if you slam my face like this…’
Nux, whose face was currently buried in the ground complained in his heart.
It really was difficult to handle a crazy dragon.
