1282 Why did I have to fall for a crazy dragon...?
"Aurelian Stillwalker, are you looking down on me?"
Nux questioned as he looked right into Aurelian's eyes. The Empress tilted her head for a moment and, "Of course not, why would yo-"
"Open the Human Trials, you have a week."
"I already told you my condition for it."
Aurelian was not planning on backing out.
Seeing that, Nux momentarily closed his eyes, and,
"You are making a mistake, Aurelian."
"I believe that as the Empress of the Empire of Eternity, I hav-"
Thud
Before the Empress could even complete her sentence, she felt a strange powerlessness in her body and fell on her knees.
In an instant, 5 hidden Divine Stage Cultivators rushed toward Nux, however, before they could make any move, Thud Thud Thud
They all ended up in the same position as well.
"I see you are having some trouble dealing with all the simple matters. What? Talking to women is hard for you?"
Nux and all the people present in the room heard a voice.
"I didn't know you were coming here." Nux smiled wryly as he turned around and saw the Dragon Woman walking in.
With all the Divine Stage Cultivators lying around, Nux just stared at the half-crazy woman walking towards him and couldn't help but smile.
'When will I get used to this sight...?'
His eyes directly fell on Vyriana's lips, he couldn't believe he would be kissing them soon.
"Don't get your hopes up."
Vyriana however, was prepared to crush his hopes before he could even talk about them out loud.
"..."
Nux simply sidestepped and let the woman take charge.
Of course, he didn't forget to turn towards Aurelian and smile, "I told you you were making a mistake."
"You cannot force m-" Aurelian turned towards Vyriana and spoke up, but again, today wasn't the day she could complete her sentences.
After all, when has Vyriana shown her respect for the so-called world leaders?
"Do not annoy me any further, woman, I doubt you would appreciate a massacre."
Vyriana threatened.
"..."
Aurelian stared at Vyriana, surprisingly, there was no trace of fear in her eyes, and, "You think the Ancestral Order would let you get away with it?"
And in an instant, Nux facepalmed.
"You made another mistake, Stillwalker."
He spoke, however, it was already too late.
"Shit..."
Nux cursed as he saw the Empress of the Eternity Empire's head rolling on the ground.
Nux turned towards Vyriana and noticed her cleaning her hand which was covered with blood.
"You could have done it more cleanly, couldn't you?" Nux complained.
"I guess I wanted to see some blood on my hands. I feel quite frustrated these days, you know? I don't know the reason, but it might be because of a foolish bet I had with some idiot."
Vyriana replied and Nux couldn't help but gulp.
'Why did I have to fall for a crazy dragon...?'
He couldn't understand.
He then glanced at the dead empress and couldn't help but feel pity. Even though the two of them were bantering just now, he could feel that there was some strange connection between them.
"Who's the next successor of your empire?" Vyriana questioned as she glanced at one of the Divine Stage Cultivators kneeling on the ground.
The man panicked, his body started trembling, obviously, he didn't want to answer any of Vyriana's questions but, "What? Do I have to kill a few more to make my intentions clear? Trust me, the Order won't be coming to save you. It would only be a pointless death. I doubt anyone would want that, especially for a foolish leader who is already dead."
"T-The Stillwalker Family still hasn't appointed a successor." Hindel, one of the Divine Stage Cultivators gave in.
Vyriana stared at him for a while and then,
"As a member of the Ancestral Order, I appoint you as the new Emperor of this Empire, now prepare to open the Human Trials and get everything ready within 2 days, is that clear?"
"Y-Yes? Yes! Yes!"
The confusion was soon turned into joy, the rest of the Divine Stage Cultivators were confused, however, in front of Vyriana, there weren't many things they could say.
They could only accept what happened and make sense out of it after the monster left.
"If the arrangements aren't made in 2 days, don't think you, or anyone else here will have a quick end, is that clear?"
"A-About the r-resources..." Hindel spoke up but the instant he saw Vyriana staring at him, he found the answer to his question. "I-I will take care of that."
Vyriana nodded as she then turned around. Before disappearing, she glanced at Nux, and understanding what the Dragon Woman wanted, Nux disintegrated into nothingness while his real body entered Waranal.
His eyes then fell on Vyriana and Ember standing together, the instant Ember looked at him, a bright smile appeared on her face and the two hugged.
"Are you prepared for the Trial?" Nux questioned with a smile on his face.
"I am." Ember nodded, her face was quickly buried into Nux's chest.
Nux then glanced at Vyriana and,
"I can't believe you killed her."
"You cannot?" Vyriana tilted her head.
"Well, I am more surprised that you came there. You didn't make a move when I wanted to take the Human Trials."
"That's because that was you taking the Trials, now it is my precious disciple, you don't think I value the two of you the same, do you?" Vyriana questioned and Nux just smiled wryly and looked around with a defeated look on his face.
"Where is your... precious disciple anyways? She should have come here the moment she sensed me."
"Maybe it is because she doesn't want to meet you." Vyriana shrugged and Nux stared at her with a deadpan look on his face, "You still don't know much about your precious disciple, do you?"
"She would have come if she wanted to. She simply feels it is a waste of time to meet you for now."
Vyriana replied with a smile on her face.
Nux smiled playfully and,
"How about we make a bet?"
He questioned and in an instant, Vyriana's expression changed.
"She is not here."
She had no option but to give in.
Nux's smile widened as he saw Vyriana's frustrated expression then, he questioned, "Where is she?"
"Another place I will not tell you about."
"Why?"
Nux narrowed his eyes.
"She needs to be alone. It is essential for what she is trying to achieve."
"Is there any danger involved?"
"You think I would do that to my Disciple?" Vyriaan questioned back and without waiting for even a second, Nux nodded.
"I do."
"..."
"..."
The two stared at each other in silence then, Vyriana snorted.
"Tsk, I shouldn't have called you here."
"Lady Vyriana, please try to understand, he is just worried about her," Ember spoke in a gentle tone.
"It would have been better if you said that while not sticking your head on his chest." Vyriana snorted again.
"What do you girls see in him anyways?"
Nux tilted his head as he spoke up,
"Don't act like you don't know what they see in them. You agreed to the bet."
"That is because I know I will win." Vyriana's reply was quick.
"Oh? So you are telling me you would agree to the same bet with any other man?"
"Why would I even need to make such a bet wit-"
In between her answer, the Dragon Woman paused and soon, she furrowed her brows as if she realized something.
"See? You agreed to the bet because you think I am special. You won't do it for just any other man, but you did it for me. That has to mean something, doesn't it?"
"You are thinking too much," Vyriana replied as she narrowed her eyes. "I only agreed because I knew I would win and... and I wouldn't make such a bet with other men because I would have no need to. I-I only did that to motivate my disciple, and show her how much I trust her, nothing more."
"Is that so...?" Nux smiled.
"Yes." Vyriana nodded in a stern tone.
Nux looked into her eyes for a while as the two stared at each other, then, Nux just shrugged, "Alright, I believe you."
Hearing that, Vyriana furrowed her brows again,
"I said I only did it for my disciple, is that clear?"
"Yes, of course. I totally believe you, Vyriana." Nux nodded again with a smile on his face.
"Stop smiling then," Vyriana ordered.
"What?"
"Stop feeling, I can tell that you do not believe my words."
"Vyriana, even you do not believe your own words."
Nux spoke as he looked right into the Dragon woman's eyes and for some reason, Vyriana turned silent.
"Anyways, when will my Star be back?" Nux questioned.
"1 Yrniel day," Vyriana answered quickly, wanting to get rid of all these strange thoughts that were bothering her.
However, knowing that it would take some time to sort her thoughts out, she disappeared.
Nux smiled seeing the flustered look on his Dragon woman, then, he turned to the lovely woman sticking to him and, "General Ember." He called out.
"Hm?"
"How about we go on a date?"
"For the entire Month? Sure. There is a forest a few hundred kilometers away, we can explore 'things' there."
Hearing those words, Nux's smile turned perverted.
"Exploring a forest eh,
It would indeed take us a Month."
