CHAPTER 1409 STOP HARASSING MY LITTLE BROTHER!
"…" "…" "…" Two women glared at Skyla and didn't say anything, the more they stayed silent, the lower Skyla bowed her head as her lips trembled. She looked like a little puppy who was caught doing what it shouldn't be doing and was now about to get punished. On the other hand, Felberta and Lane, who were looking at this woman didn't know what to say, Felberta could feel her head aching from what she just heard. "So let me get this straight… I send you to pry on that man, try to understand his goal and why he is here… And you… you became his Big Sister?" "…" Skyla lowered her head even more. "What happened to the 'pry on him' part!? Did you forget about it when he called you Big Sister!?" Felberta shouted. "I-I did t-talk to him… he didn't seem like a bad person…" Skyla replied, not daring to meet Felberta's eyes. "You…" Felberta was speechless. "Did you not read what he did to those three men?" Felberta questioned. "He must have retaliated because he was attacked! You read the report as well! They all attacked him yesterday! He didn't retaliate yesterday, but that didn't mean he shouldn't do it today as well! He gave them enough chances, those bastards should have suffered more!" Skyla shouted. Clearly, she was playing the role of a big sister here. And Felberta just stared at the woman with a dumbfounded look on her face. "Skyla, this is the man who never fought against anyone, he was often bullied, and today, you are telling me that he alone defeated 3 thugs without any prior training? Does that make any sense? Not to mention that looking at his history, he seems to avoid women like the plague after 'that' incident, the reason he was beaten up yesterday was because he rejected their offer and even if they continued to beat him, he didn't change his opinion, and now, he is here, actively seeking us out? Do you not find this strange? I know I was wrong for picking him without properly looking into his situation and that he suffered because of me, but the fact that he changed so much in just a single day, do you not find that unsettling?" Felberta spoke, before, he didn't bother investigating Nux, however, when she felt something strange, this was the first thing she did and the more she looked at his past, the stranger she felt. "He just wanted to change! He went through a near-death experience! How else do you want him to react!!" Skyla didn't back down. "Stop harassing my little brother when he is clearly trying his best!" She shouted. "Skyla, manners." However, the moment he raised her voice, Lane, who had been silent this whole time, spoke. Staring right into Skyla's eyes. Usually, Skyla would lower her head meekly and apologize, however, "Hmph!" The maid just snorted and looked away. "…" "…" Both Felberta and Lane were speechless. Then, Felberta pressed her forehead, "It was my mistake, I shouldn't have sent her to him…" She still didn't know what kind of magic had the man done to her maid. Content © copyrighted by .
Helpless, Felberta turned towards Lane, and the silent maid nodded, signalling that she would take care of Skyla. Felberta nodded back as Lane took the maid away. "Joyab." She called. "Lady Felberta." "Keep an eye on that man." "As you command, Lady Felberta." The man spoke and just like that, Nux finally entered the Alveye House and completely made the mess out of the place.
He got closer to Skyla, however, he made sure to keep their 'relation' as 'distant' as possible, Skyla sensed it, but she linked it to his 'fear of women' and didn't say anything, she just decided to give him company, something he preferred in his monotonous life, where the only thing he did was cultivate. His cultivation talent was low, however, just as he expected, Since his understanding of cultivation was so high, the speed at which he was progressing was much faster than he had first expected. After all, as someone who was once a Semi Saint, the Beginner, Advance and Master Stages were nothing in his eyes. Within two months, Nux had already broken through and had become Beginner Stage Cultivator, however, since *Essence* was an energy no one else could sense, no one in the Alveye House could sense his progress. For them, he was a strange gigolo who only appeared when Felberta called him and did whatever the woman ordered him to. As for the 'night activity' part? The entire thing started just because Felberta was bored, the woman never had the intention of actually having sex with him. That was what Felberta had personally told him, the woman was simply planning to pass the time and explore something new, nothing else. It was Nux that pushed her buttons and took the lead. Not to mention that with Felberta learning about Nux's past with women, she felt guilty and felt like she should take responsibility for him. She didn't even 'tease' him, the reason she bought him in the first place. The only thing Nux did was some household chores and even that was something Skyla had someone else do it in his stead. So he had all the time he wanted to cultivate. Another thing to note was that Nux already lost [Craving Touch] before he could use it on Felberta or anyone else. Yes, he already received the missions and failed them spectacularly. His progress was slow and he stayed passive all the time. Everything followed his plan, a plan he wanted to stick to till he became a Master Stage Cultivator. Something that, if he had used the system way, shouldn't have taken so much time, however, since he was going the long route, it took him 2 whole years. Something that should have been considered monstrous, something only the top-level elites of the Yrniel could achieve, something, that theoretically, should have been impossible for Nux, but living a second life indeed had its advantages. Anyways, the moment Nux became a Master Stage Cultivator, he started initiating his plan. The political tensions throughout the Skyfall Kingdom were at an all-time high, Edda and Thyra, women he had already 'found' were in danger. Heck, he had already saved Edda once while covering his face, suggesting the woman to not leave the Royal Kingdom. Ember was the same, the War between the Woods and the Solid Earth Kingdom was putting pressure on the General. Nux knew that he needed to take action, now, or all his 'wives' would be in danger. Therefore, after such a long time, he finally decided to leave the Alveye House, His first destination? The Bannermane House. It was time to meet his old friend, Alger Bannermane.
