1078 You people are a bunch of monsters
"Huh?"
A frown appeared on Vyriana's face as she appeared and saw Nux standing in front of her. Obviously, she wasn't expecting to see him.
"Why do you have her Artifact?" Vyriana questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
"I am here your disciple's husband, remember?" Nux smiled playfully.
"That still doesn't mean you can use the Artifact I gave her and call me whenever you feel like it."
"Then give me an Artifact of my own. I will use that from now on."
"You think just anyone could summon me? Do I look that free to you?" Vyriana raised her eyebrow.
"Of course not, but I am not just anyone, now am I?"
"You are just my disciple's husband."
Nux's games didn't work on Vyriana at all.
In the end, he just decided to give up.
"I apologize for calling you here like this, Lady Vyriana.I wouldn't have done this if I didn't have something important to discuss with you."
Seeing that he was finally backing up and being honest, Vyriana nodded her head in satisfaction, then, she glanced at Nux and,
"What is it?"
She questioned.
"I need your help."
"I decline."
"Please listen to me once before you decide."
"There is no point, I have no reason to help yo-"
"All of them are now Complete Great Sages."
Before Vyriana could complete, Nux informed. Vyriana already knew most things about him anyway, not to mention she was going as far as hiding things from the Order, just to protect them.
In Nux's mind, Vyriana was someone who could be trusted, this was why he decided to seek her help regarding the matter.
"What...?" Vyriana's expression changed.
"All my wives, including your disciple, are now Complete Great Sages," Nux repeated and Vyriana widened her eyes in absolute shock.
"This makes no sense." Vyriana's first reaction was to deny Nux's words.
"I have no reason to lie to you, Lady Vyriana."
"Where are they?" Vyriana questioned.
She could tell from Nux's face that he wasn't lying, however, something as ridiculous as this... she couldn't just believe it just because a child told her to.
"They are somewhere safe. I can't bring them here." Nux replied with a solemn look on his face.
"Huh?" Vyriana frowned, but then,
She realized.
"You are doubting me."
"..."
Nux didn't say anything.
He trusted Vyriana.
But could he bet his wives' lives on it?
He could not.
"Heh." Seeing him staying silent, Vyriana laughed.
"Quite funny, isn't it?
You call me seeking my help, help of the person you don't even trust."
"Please do not get offended, Lady Vyriana. I ju-"
"I am not offended, Boy. I can understand your line of thought.
I am just amused by your actions."
"Amused?"
"You hide your wives thinking I might harm them then come here alone, revealing the news to me.
These two actions completely contradict each other. It makes no sense.
Can't I simply capture you and extract the information about your wives' whereabouts from you?"
Vyriana questioned.
Nux's expression changed as his body went on high alert as he continued to observe even a minor change occurring on Vyriana's body.
His reasoning for coming here alone was simple, if, by chance, Vyriana decides to capture them and bring them to the Order, at the vest least, she wouldn't be able to capture his wives. As for him, it would be difficult, but Nux believed that he might be able to find a way ou-
"Unless of course, you think I wouldn't be able to catch you or that you could run away from me."
And Vyriana read Nux like an open book.
"You are quite gutsy, aren't you?" a wide smile appeared on her face
Nux couldn't say anything in this situation.
"..."
Honestly, with how Vyriana was acting, Nux wanted to just use Blink fault and Core and get out of there, however, for some reason, in a part of his head, he still wanted to trust Vyriana.
And he was right to do so,
"The fact that you are being this cautious is enough to prove that you are not lying.
Your worries aren't unfounded either.
Even people from the Order wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of learning a technique that could increase cultivation speed to such absurd levels.
Honestly, at this point, you are no different than a machine capable of mass-producing Complete Cultivators. No power, including the Order, would want to give that up."
"This is why I came to Lady Vyriana to seek her help."
"Well, there is a way indeed."
Vyriana didn't disappoint.
But then, a curious smile appeared on her face, and,
"But for that way to work, I need to see your dear wives with my own eyes,
Are you up for it?
Are you willing to put your wives at risk?"
Vyriana questioned.
"I might be lying just so I can capture your wives, you know? That would be a sure-shot way to get you to do what I want and make sure you don't run, won't it?!"
"..."
Nux turned silent.
He could tell Vyriana was joking, but again...
He wasn't sure enough to make a bet on i-
Suddenly,
A portal appeared right next to him and,
Astaria walked out.
Behind her, Nux's other wives walked out as well,
"I knew Master would try to play games like these. So let's get over with this, shall we?"
Astaria commented as she glanced at Vyriana.
"Please help us, Master."
"You... you all really did become Complete Great Sage Cultivators..."
Even though Vyriana believed Nux's words, seeing it with her own eves was much more surprising
"I told you, did I not? There are many things you would be surprised about in the future.
Just wait for it.,
This is just the start."
Astaria spoke with a proud smile on her face.
"You people are a bunch of monsters."
Vyriana commented.
"No, you are the only monstrous one here."
Nux smiled wryly without saying anything.
He was surprised and a little scared when his wives got here, however, seeing Vyriana acting calmly, his heart was now at ease.
His instincts weren't wrong.
Vyriana was indeed on their side, for now.
"Master, you said there was a solution to our problem."
Astaria spoke, not wanting to deviate from the topic.
"There is.
It is a place I initially wanted to take you to but soon realized that both you and your husband wouldn't want it.
Coincidently, now that would be the perfect place for you lot."
