If anyone is getting seduced here, it is definitely not Nux.
"..."
Aurelian stared at the man sitting on her bed with a dumbfounded look on her face as she held the Storage Ring he threw at her.
"There are not Five Thousand 12 Star Artifacts in there because I was told that it was a ridiculous number and a way to calculate resources.
However, I do believe whatever is in there is enough to cover what you asked for.
It is exactly 1.5 times the resources required to open the Human Trial Tower."
lightsΝοvel Nux spoke up.
"..."
Aurelian, on the other hand, was still too shaken to say anything.
Honestly, she was only joking around when she said she needed 1.5 times the required resources. Just like Lyriana had predicted, she never believed that Nux would manage to get his hands on such a huge sum of resources.
'I should have asked for twice the required amount...'
Aurelian was truly regretting her decision.
"This is enough to open the Human Trial, right, Lady Aurelian?"
Seeing that she still wasn't answering, Nux questioned.
"Ah? Yes of course, this is more than enough." The Human Empress nodded.
"Then should we open the Human Trial?"
"Well, the process of opening the Trial is complicated, so... I would ask you to return after a week. I will prepare everything in the meantime."
"Ah, of course, I did hear that it was a complicated process and there are a lot of formalities you need to go through."
"That is correct." Aurelian nodded.
Nux nodded in understanding as he stood up.
"Then I will come in a week." He spoke, however, just as he was about to leave,
"You are leaving this Storage ring with me? Aren't you worried that I might cheat you out of your money?"Nux momentarily paused, then, a playful smile appeared on his face, and,
"Lady Aurelian, there is a reason I chose to come to you instead of the other two Human Emperors, I doubt someone of your stature would ever fall as low as to cheat someone like me out of his money.
The elegance you radiate puts you far above things like these."
"You say that, however, your expressions say, 'I already have the Dragon Lord as my opponent, I wouldn't mind adding another one to the list.'
That air of confidence around you is attractive but quite intimidating as well."
Aurelian chuckled.
"Of come on, Lady Aurelian. I would never want you as my opponent.
As for the air of confidence, please only notice the attractive part, you do not need to be intimidated by me, that would break my heart." Nux replied and Aurelian chuckled out loud.
"How can I not be intimidated when you slaughtered an entire clan just a few hours ago, I sent some subordinates to get the report of the matter, and all of them were horrified by what they saw.
The Ashenhelm's building was flowing with blood, gore, corpses, and chopped limbs. They said that the scene of Blood was so strong that one could smell it even from a kilometer away.
It was quite a sight."
"The Ashenhelm tried to mess with my wives. That is one matter I do not hold back on. I get a little too possessive when it comes to my wives, you see."
Aurelian stared at Nux for a while, then she narrowed her eyes, and,
"You really do plan to see your battle against the Dragon Lord to the end, don't you?"
"Of course, what happened to Ashenhelm was because its leader said a few words about my wife that he shouldn't have said,
Arcturus on the other hand, dared to attack my wife.
Arcturus's end would be much worse than this."
Nux's golden eyes shined brightly as he said those words and Aurelian felt like she was losing herself in those eyes.
She could feel her heart feel a strange excitement when she heard what Nux said.
She wanted to see,
She wanted to see just what this man would do in the future.
Just thinking about it made her feel... excited.
A wide smile appeared on Aurelian's face, however, when she noticed what she was doing, she quickly shook her head, her expression returned to normal, and, "You return after a week."
She spoke as she then closed her eyes, waiting for Nux to leave.
Nux chuckled, then, he stood up from her bed and, "I'll be back, Lady Aurelian."
Saying those words, he formed a Portal and walked in, leaving the Human Empress alone.
Now, he needed to wait for a week.
The week went by much quicker than one expected.
Many were expecting something to happen, however, the ExceedoGenesis, the Ashemhelm, and the Dragon Continent, all three forces involved in the matter were completely silent.
During the entire week, Nux only managed the new Slaves he received, spent some time with his women, and rested his body.
"Nux, it is time to leave."
While Nux was sitting together with his women, a Portal formed behind him and the Elven Queen walked in.
"Is it already? That's fast." Nux spoke as he lazily stood up from his chair.
Then, after kissing all his wives goodbye, he smiled and formed another Portal, leading right towards the Human Empress.
"Let's leave, shall we?" He spoke as he turned towards Lyriana and the Elven Queen nodded.
As the two left, Ambrosia, who was sitting together with other women pouted,
"I still can't believe that he permitted Lyriana to open Portals, even I can't do that yet.
Just when did the two of them get so close?"
The woman then glanced at her daughter and whispered.
"Hey, are you sure that the Elven Queen is not trying to steal your husband? She may not look like it, but that woman does have a talent for seducing men, you know?"
"Do not worry, Mother.
If anyone is getting seduced here, it is definitely not Nux."
Melia shook her head.
She didn't know how to tell her mother that her husband had enslaved a woman who was as strong as her.
"Let's not talk about this."
In the end, the Vampire just sighed.
***I go die now...
