CHAPTER 1281  ARE YOU LOOKING DOWN ON ME?

Another 2 months passed by, these two months, the only thing Nux did was spend time with his wives and laze around. He did train, however, with Vyriana gone, the intensity of his training was a lot less than normal.

Honestly, he simply wanted to make up for all the time he and his wives had been working till now, honestly, ever since the whole Devil thing, they didn't really get much time for themselves so Nux decided to take it out.

Not only that, he also needed some time before he went after the Black Order again. The entire organization was currently on a high alert, so the number of things Nux could currently do was limited.

One of the most logical solutions was to wait.

He was also considering going to Faustina and Caesar or the 'bigger pond' as they call it. However, he was soon reminded that once he left, he wouldn't be able to come by.

Joining the Ancestral Order came with its own restrictions, even if Faustina, one of the Order Leaders took him in as her son, Nux still couldn't look past these rules.

"I see you have started to let go. What is it? Have you finally become the strongest? Conquered the world, did you? I am disappointed that you didn't share such a major thing with me." While Nux was lazing on the bed with his eyes closed, he heard a voice.

In an instant, all his laziness washed away and he jolted up.

"V-Vyriana."

He spoke with a wry smile on his face.

Obviously, he wasn't dumb enough to not sense the sarcasm in Vyriana's tone.

"Y-You are back."

"I guess I do understand your perspective. Once you lose the bet, you will be stuck with me, it is a good thing that you took some time to rest." Vyriana nodded to herself.

Again, Nux sensed her sarcasm, this time, however, he didn't stay silent.

"You got it all wrong, Vyriana.

I was simply waiting for you."

The Dragon Woman narrowed her eyes.

"I didn't want to break through and make it unfair for my Star. After all, I don't plan on giving you any excuse to back off from our bet."

"You think I will go back on my words?" Vyriana questioned, her golden eyes shining threateningly.

"You think I would take any chances when I have the chance to seal those precious lips of yours with mine?" Nux questioned back as he licked his lips with a seductive look on his face.

The pervert didn't even bother hiding the lust in his eyes and was looking at Vyriana with the same crazy possessive eyes he looks at his wives with.

Vyriana didn't say anything.

She knew winning in a battle of words was impossible, she just made sure to make a mental note, no matter what this pervert said, he would soon face the consequences once he loses the bet and she was allowed to tortu- train him.

"Anyways, since you are here, does that mean the two of them are ready?" Suddenly Nux questioned with a curious look on his face.

"They are still training," Vyriana replied.

Nux frowned, but then, "They will be done soon, so prepare the Trials."

"I understand."

Nux nodded.

Soon, he created two clones and in an instant, the two clones both rushed in two different directions.

The Dragon Continent and the Human Empire.

…

"I cannot believe that you were actually able to take the command of the Dragon Continent in your hands, Lady Ignatia. Or should I call you the Dragon Lord now?"

Nux spoke as he glanced at Ignatia with a playful smile on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Ignatia, on the other hand, didn't seem very happy to see him.

Well, any woman would be offended if they found a man sitting on their bed as if it were his own.

"I am obviously here to have a chat with you, Dragon Lord." Nux chuckled as he replied with a calm look on his face.

"Though I am curious as to how you were able to become the Dragon Lord. I sensed your energies before, you weren't even nearly as strong as the strongest dragons in the continent. With you as you right now, there is no way you could defeat them, then how did you…"

"It was a decision all the Dragons came unanimously. I didn't defeat them, I was simply chosen to stabilize the Continent and clean up the mess you have created."

Obviously, the Dragons weren't the type to come up with a decision like that and even now, there were many Dragons who wanted to replace Ignatia. The woman, however, had the backing of the Vampire Kingdom.

The Vampire's statement was clear, out of all the Dragons, only she had a somewhat close relationship with Nux, just that factor alone was enough to ensure Ignatia's position as the Head. With Ambrosia leading the charge, the Vampires made it clear that if Ignatia didn't take over the Dragon Continent, it would mark the end of the long friendship between Dragons and Vampires.

Something that the current Dragons could not afford. The Dragons weren't exactly given a choice in the matter.

Not to mention that Ignatia's own leadership abilities were a level above the rest, so it wasn't hard for the intelligent ones to accept her.

Actually, many of them were already hoping something like this would happen and were inwardly thanking the Vampires for making the move.

Of course, Nux didn't care much about all the politics involved behind this step, when Melia tried to explain how Ambrosia was planning on silently taking over the Dragons through Ignatia, Nux just chuckled as he shook his head.

The Dragons didn't matter anymore.

The poor people already owned him big, it didn't matter who ruled the Dragons anyway, Nux was more than confident in getting what he wanted whether the Head was Ignatia or not.

"My wife wishes to enter the Trial. Open it."

"The Dragon Trials…?" Ignatia questioned as she tilted her head.

"You think I would come here for Dwarven Trials?" Nux questioned back as he stared at the woman in front of him with a deadpan look on his face.

"…" Ignatia didn't say anything either.

"When do you want me to open up the Trials?"

"I will give you the dates soon, it will be within this week. You keep the resources ready and deal with any court stuff related to it in the meantime."

"I understand."

Isabel nodded and Nux disappeared.

Once the man left, the new Dragon Lord sighed in defeat. She couldn't believe she had to listen to the orders of a Semi Saint Stage Cultivator.

'Just where in the hell did this monster come from…?'

She couldn't help but wonder in her head.

…

At the same time, inside the Eternity Empire's Hall, Empress Aurelian glanced at the man walking towards her with a smile on her face and,

"It is nice to meet you, friend."

"Eeh? I didn't know the two of us were close enough for you to call me your friend, Lady Aurelian." Nux smiled.

"Come on, don't act so distant. I opened the Trial Towers for you, didn't I?"

"Indeed you did, after getting 1.5 times the required amount from me, it was indeed quite generous of you."

"I was planning to return that amount, it was merely a joke I played."

"You are quite shameless, Lady Aurelian. I am seeing you in a completely new light."

"I guess you are rubbing me off." Aurelian chuckled but then,

"I need you to open the Human Trials again." Nux directly said what he came here for. "Again?" Aurelian was taken aback, however,

"I have the 1.5 times the required resources with me, you simply need to deal with the rest of the things."

"I cannot do that."

Suddenly, Aurelian shook her head.

"What…?"

Nux frowned in confusion.

"I said that I cannot do it. Well… I can, but I have a condition."

"Are you trying to raise the price?" Nux furrowed his brows.

"No, of course not. I will even open it for free if you want me to, but before that, I have a condition." Content © copyrighted by .

"What is it?"

"An Alliance."

"Hmm?"

"Form an Alliance between The Empire of Eternity and ExceedoGenesis. If you do that, then not only today, whenever you wish to open the Human Trials, I will do it for you, without taking anything in return."

Aurelian spoke as she glanced at Nux with bright eyes, but then,

"You already made your stance clear before, didn't you? Why change sides now?"

"Do you really have to force me to say it?" Aurelian stared at Nux with a deadpan look on her face.

However, seeing no chance in Nux's expression, she sighed and,

"I was wrong, I made the wrong decision and now I wish to correct my mistake."

"You decided to stay neutral when I was in trouble and now you want to ally with my clan once I came out as the victor?"

Nux then leaned forward towards the Empress and,

"Aurelian Stillwalker, are you looking down on me?"
