CHAPTER 1262  I DO NOT BELIEVE IN LOVE.

"You are not going anywhere darling, I will be keeping you here with me for a long time." Nux spoke with a big smile on his face. With all the nuisance gone, he could finally focus on his main goal. "What are you talking about?" Rune narrowed her eyes. Nux started walking towards her, Rune walked back, trying to maintain a certain distance from him, "Let's be honest here, Rune. I am sure you already know what my intentions are, no?" "Then you should know what my answer is, shouldn't you?" Rune replied. "Why do you think I am doing what I am doing? I plan to change your answer." "That will not happen, I do not believe in love." "It is foolish to base your opinion because of what someone else did." "Nux, I am simply not interested in it. You are not planning on forcing these feelings onto me, are you?" Rune questioned. Nux, however, didn't answer and continued to walk towards her, Rune walked back, however, soon, her lower back touched the table, she paused, Nux used this chance to close the distance. Bringing his face dangerously close to hers, he smiled, "I am planning exactly that. I will shower you with endless care and love, overwriting the experience you had with that fool, and will make you mine. Smart plan, no?" Nux chuckled. Rune gulped, Nux was too close. He wasn't touching her or using force in any way, but for some reason, under his gaze, Rune found it hard to move. The way Nux's eyes shined as he looked right into her eyes, Rune found herself helpless in front of that gaze. "I-I told my father that I would be coming to the City soon." She replied, trying to use her father to get out. "Hmm? Don't worry, I will tell him that you changed your mind and decided to stay with me for the rest of your life." "I never said anything like that!" "Hahaha~ Don't worry, I am just predicting the future. I would never do something you don't want, Rune. I will keep a certain distance until you are comfortable enough,"

Nux spoke with a genuine look on his face, then, however, a big smile appeared on his face and, "Though how big that distance would be… it would depend on me." "Y-You are acting like a thug," Rune replied. "Please forgive me for that. The people I have been staying with these days are… well… they are not the most patient of the bunch." Nux replied as he recalled Vyriana's nature. The Dragon Woman was busy training her disciple, so she wasn't here yet. She, however, had already started living in Nux's head rent-free. "T-That's not a valid excuse!" Rune retorted. "Is that so…" Nux spoke. Then, he moved around and sat on the table, right next to Rune, "Do you want to punish me for acting out, then? As a woman I love, you have all the right to do that." "Don't act like I don't know what you are planning. I am sure you would only use this chance to do something perverted with me! Thyra has already warned me about you!" "She has…?" Nux tilted his head in confusion. "You think I don't know what these punishments you talk about are!?" Rune shouted and suddenly, Nux's smile turned perverted, "So you are telling me Thyra was the one who told you about it?" "Exactly! Don't think I am ignorant. You cannot fool me." "You don't want me to believe that my Thyra did that on her own accord, do you?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"W-What?" Rune stuttered. "You think someone like my Thyra would reveal things like that to anyone? I am sure you must have asked her about it, no? Then am I correct to use that you are interested in the activities I and Thyra do away from other's eyes?" Nux questioned. "N-No, of cour-" Rune wanted to reject, however, Nux was quick to follow up, "You know you don't need to rely on Thyra, correct?" He whispered into Rune's cat ears. The woman's ears twitched, looking extremely adorable. Nux's heart fluttered seeing the stoic Rune's flustered appearance and, "You can always come to me to talk about it, we can even do a practical demonstration if you want." Nux whispered again, he seemed like a demon who was trying to trap an innocent woman in his web of traps, Rune's resistance, however, was stronger than others and she quickly rolled away. "I-I do not want to talk about any perverted things! Especially with you!! Get your mind out of the gutter and don't bother me! I am going now!" Rune spoke as she walked towards the door, rushing to go out. "You know I won't let you leave the Clan, correct?" Nux questioned. "I am just going to my own room! I am not leaving!!" Rune snorted as she slammed the doors. Nux chuckled. It seemed that he needed to have a talk with this woman's brother and father, telling them that she would be returning a little late. Honestly, this should be the first thing he would have done… if there was not a certain presence he sensed around his clan. "It is about time." He spoke as he then walked out of his room as well, getting ready to meet his new guest.

…

Outside the Gates of ExceedoGenesis, a big line of people could be seen, these were the people who wanted to join the Clan or wanted to form some sort of alliance with them. This time, it wasn't just Great Sages who were in these lines, huge number of Semi Saints and even Saints, people who, a few hundred years ago, were hailed as the Top Clan Leaders and members, people who wouldn't even spare others a second look before ignoring them, were here as well. After all, the Leader of this Clan had not only annihilated a current Top Clan, even the Strongest Cultivator known to the common people had fallen in a fight against that man.

ExceedoGenesis, which had always been part of the hot topics, has already been recognized as the Strongest Clan in the entire Yrniel. Let alone the Saints, even the powers with the Divine Stage Cultivators supporting them had sent representatives here in order to form alliances. Of course, the doors of ExceedoGenesis were still closed. They weren't ready to accept any new members of alliances. "That monster really did defeat the Dragon Lord huh…" A woman with Fox Ears and 7 fluffy tails behind her commented with a shocked look on her face. Interestingly enough, even though the woman was standing amongst this huge crowd, none of the people here seemed to have noticed her. The ability she was using seemed something similar to [Conceal] yet slightly different. The woman looked around with a curious look on her face as she started walking towards the Clan Doors. With how she was passing through others without them being able to notice her, it was clear that she was trying to sneak into the Clan, putting complete trust in her abilities. What she completely forgot, however, was that there was a certain Monster residing in that clan, someone capable of looking through her tricks without any problems whatsoever. "!!!" The woman's eyes widened in surprise and horror when she was grabbed from behind, one hand holding her slender waist, while the other holding the grabbing her mouth, not allowing her to scream. She panicked and in an instant, she activated an Artifact. But suddenly, she heard a voice, "Why are you sneaking around, Vulpiana? Is it because you are ashamed of not coming to meet me sooner? Well, you should be ashamed of that, to be honest. I was looking forward to meeting you, you know? I was so hurt when you didn't come." As she heard Nux's voice, Vulpiana calmed down. It was someone she knew. However, just before she could sigh in relief, her body froze when she remembered that she had already activated the Artifact and without thinking anything else, She held Nux's hand and the two of them disappeared. "Eh? Holding my hand the moment we meet up? That's quite bol-" Nux, of course, was in a jovial mood, soon, however, he froze when he realized what happened. He was teleported to a completely different place. What was even more surprising was that he didn't sense any Artifacts, abilities, or skills being activated. It was as if he was teleported randomly, with just a mere thought. He extended his senses, and although he was sure that he was still in Yrniel, the place he was in was at least 100km away from where they were. "Is it something related to your Time and Space ability? Instant Teleportation? How did you do it?" He questioned as he looked into Vulpiana's eyes. Vulpiana paused, finally realizing what she had done. Then, she looked into Nux's eyes and with a cold look on her face, she replied, "You don't need to know that."
