965 Brother is not strong enough
‘So this is Melia Leander huh…’
The three women thought inwardly as they glanced at Melia sitting in front of them with a slight blush on her face. Melia was trying to avoid their eyes, however, that just added to her charm.
“S-So, Melia Leander…” Esme, the bravest out of the three sisters finally gathered herself.
She has been waiting for more than a month, she was not going to let Melia go so easily!
“Tell us what you like about Nux. This should be something you can answer, right? If you can’t then we would have second thoughts about this marriage you know?”
“Indeed indeed. There are countless things I can go on and on about Lazarus.” Claudia jumped in. “I am sure you are the same, right?”
The three sisters glanced at Melia, this time, Melia couldn’t escape, she had to answer,
“He… He cares for me…”
She spoke.
“Hmm? That’s it? Even we care for yo-” Esme was about to tease Melia, however,
“He makes me feel safe. He has solutions to all my problems, he strengthens me, the look in his eyes as he glances at me, how I tend to forget about everything when he hugs me, how he makes me feel special, everything about him is just… different…
Being with him brings my strongest, not only just emotional but my physical strength as well. I feel stronger when I am with him.
He is not just my husband,
He is my sparring partner,
Someone who forces me to push forward, though I cannot catch up to him now, even then,
Every single time I spar with him, I learn something and at the same time, I get close to him and open my heart to him. Nux is someone who understands me, he is someone I can share anything with and just being with him fills me with this fulfilling sense of happiness.”
Melia replied with a bright smile on her face as she looked at her sisters to see their reactions, however, the three sisters just glanced at her with deadpan looks on their faces,
“She really is our Melia, isn’t she?” Esme muttered.
“To think she brought spar and cultivation-related stuff into this as well.” Claudia nodded.
“People talk about how they spent special moments with their partners as they go sightseeing, explore different things, or just spend time together, but to think this girl is talking about how she feels closer to him as they spar…”
“Is that how brother-in-law won her heart? By sparring with her to her heart’s content?”
“You know… I can imagine that happening…” Esme nodded.
“I guess we can say our brother-in-law understands our Mel?” Suddenly, Luciana smiled.
“Also, it isn’t as bad as before, is it? Melia is now openly expressing herself and showing all these expressions. It is still progress, no? It is definitely much better than how she used to just walk away whenever we talk about Girls Meet.”
“That is true indeed.” Esme nodded.
“She has changed, we should do the same. That is the only way we can be on the same page with her.”
“Indeed indeed, I have a question that she would like!” Suddenly, Claudia raised her hand. Then, she turned towards Melia and,
“You said you cannot catch up to him right? How is that possible? He is a Great Sage just like you, shouldn’t your strength be equal? Why are you implying that he is stronger than you?”
Claudia questioned and this time, the air around Melia changed.
This was the type of question that should be asked in a Meet, a logical question that she can answer properly.
Why do people talk about matters of the heart? Only the heart knows how to explain those, not the mouth.
Anyways, with finally something worthy to talk about, Melia started,
“If the two of us fought a hundred times, I would lose every single time.
Nux is incomparably stronger than me”
And she started by dropping a bomb.
“What…?” the three sisters couldn’t believe what they just heard.
Did one of the Strongest Great Sages in the Blood Kingdom just say that another man, who was also a Great Sage, was incomparably stronger than her?
“Melia, I know you love that man but you can-” Luciana, of course, couldn’t believe it, she thought Melia was just saying this out of her love for Nux however,
“Do you recall how I joined his Clan?” Melia questioned.
“The two of you sparred,” Claudia answered.
“That is correct. The details of that spar were hidden so you three wouldn’t know but, that man defeated me, who had limited her Cultivation to Initial Great Sage Stage, and he was only an Emperor back then.”
Melia revealed and the three sisters widened their eyes in shock.
“He was that strong when he was just an Emperor, just imagine he would be now that he is a Great Sage.”
“How can he defeat you when he was just an Emperor, that is not possible!”
“He is a Complete Cultivator.”
Melia revealed.
All of this would be revealed soon once all the guest attends the marriage, Nux was prepared, and they were prepared, so it didn’t matter if she tells her sisters about it.
“A complete cultivator…” Luciana narrowed her eyes.
“Is he another Hero the Humans have chosen after Elijah?”
“No, he is not one of the Heroes.” Melia was quick to deny.
Then, with a proud look on her face,
“His Potential is far stronger.”
She spoke.
“W-Wait… what about us? How would he far against Sister Luciana?” Suddenly, Esme questioned.
The three sisters weren’t weak, Esme and Claudia were Great Sages and Luciana was a Semi Saint, however,
“Even if we 4 team up against him, we still lose,” Melia dropped another bomb.
“That’s not… How could a Phase Two Cultivator defeat a Phase Three Cultivator!?” Esme couldn’t believe it but then,
“What about your brother? How much time would Lazarus need to defeat Nux?”
Luciana questioned with a solemn look on her face.
Lazarus Bloodheart, even though he was Semi Saint like her as well, the two of them were in a completely different league.
“Nux would lose if the two of them sparred.”
Melia nodded.
Lazarus was someone who could defeat Saint after all. Nux was strong, however, Lazarus was much stronger.
Hearing those words, Luciana and her sisters felt a strange sort of relief, but then,
“However, if in a hypothetical situation, the two of them encounter each other as enemies who cannot live under the same sky and fight with everything they have,
Then I can’t imagine Nux dying under Brother’s hands.
Brother is not strong enough to kill Nux.
Rather, I would even suggest brother to bury the hatchet and that’s not because I am worried for Nux. It would be the opposite.”
