"If only I was this strong…"

Suddenly, Allura commented.

And hearing those words, Nux frowned.

"What do you mean?"

He questioned.

"…"

Allura turned silent.

"Allura."

Nux called out.

"…"

"I will not understand anything if you do not say anything."

"…"

Allura still didn't reply, Nux paused and then, he looked into her eyes.

Allura tried to avert her eyes, Nux smiled, then, he started walking towards another room.

Soon, he walked into the room and placed Allura on the bed, then, he climbed next her and spoke,

"Now tell me, what's bothering you?"

Nux didn't do anything different, he just brought her into the room and questioned, yet, for some reason, Allura, who was silent all this while, decided to speak out.

"I am fading out…"

"Huh?"

Nux frowned.

"I am fading out…"

Allura repeated herself.

Knowing that this was serious, Nux turned around, placed his elbow on the bed and his head on his hand as he glanced at Allura's face,

"What do you mean by that?"

"…"

Allura turned silent.

"Allura, you don't have to hide anything from me, I am your husband."

Nux spoke with a serious look on his face as he looked into Allura's eyes.

Allura looked back and then, she continued,

"Astaria, the Strongest Female in our continent.

Evane, the Queen of the Strongest Kingdom in our continent.

Amaya, the smartest woman I have ever seen in my life, not to mention her absurdly strong physique.

Ember, a General who commanded Armies.

Thyra, an Assassin who developed her own technique, a technique that all the Assassins in the world would kill for.

Amongst these amazing people…

I feel like I am fading out…

I am was a mere concubine, not particularly good at anything at all…

I… I feel like I do not deserve to you…"

"…"

This time, Nux turned silent.

He needed some time to process what he was hearing,

"So… you feel overwhelmed by those around you…?

You think you are not special enough…?"

"…"

Allura didn't say anything.

Nux, on the other hand, couldn't believe it.

"Allura… trust me… if anyone heard what you just said… especially a woman, there is a high chance she would commit a suicide…"

Then, Nux started muttering to himself,

"And here I thought I was good at annoying people…

I am pretty sure more than 90% of women who heard her words would be so mad that they would try to kill her in anger…

Wait… is this how others feel when I try to humble brag…?"

Now, Nux started feeling sorry for all the people he had annoyed before.: owner of this content.

Allura, on the other hand, couldn't understand his reaction.

Nux continued with his muttering, soon, however, his eyes fell on the confused Allura and when he noticed the confused look on her face, he blinked a few times and questioned,

"Do you really feel that way…? Like you are inferior to others?"

Allura nodded with a hesitant look on her face.

"Are you fucking kidding me…?

Have you looked yourself in a mirror?

You are the most beautiful person I have seen.

You don't try to be alluring, you are naturally alluring.

Any woman would be jealous of those looks, heck, some would even kill for that!

And you know what's worse?

That looks aren't the only thing you have,

You are a 50 year old Emperor Stage Cultivator!

A 50 year old!

How many of those do you think are there in this world?

A beauty, combined with absurdly strong cultivation, and you still feel you are inferior?

Have some shame, woman.

Even I am not that shameless."

Nux snorted.

"…that's only because of you."

"Huh?"

"My cultivation, it only exists because of your ability. With my real talent, I would never have reached where I am right now. Without you… I am nothing…"

Allura's self confidence was currently at the bare bottom.

Nux, however, didn't care about what she was thinking at all, his reply was simple,

"And my cultivation only exists because of you all.

What's your point here?"

Allura frowned.

"I am a leech, you know.

If it weren't for you all, I would be nothing.

I need women to grow stronger.

What could be more pathetic than that?

You are talking about talent, I am sure you know my condition,

My real talent was the lowest talent possible.

If we go by my actual talent, then even becoming a Master Stage Cultivator was a big achievement for me.

But so what?

There are highly talented individuals in this world, and then there are people with low talent, but why care about talent in the first place.

Shouldn't your current position matter more?

Call me pathetic for depending on my wives to get stronger, but the fact is, I am superior than most of the men out there.

The same goes for you.

You say you have low talent, but in the end, you are superior to most of the women out there.

And what's this 'without you, I am nothing' thingy?

Does it really matter?

Why are you even thinking of a scenario of without me?

You aren't planning on running away, are you?"

Nux questioned as he narrowed his eyes playfully.

"I am not" Allura laughed a little.

"If wouldn't have mattered even if you were.

You are stuck with me.

Fufufufu~"

Saying those words, Nux crawled on top of Allura and tickled her.

"Hahaha~"

Allura laughed out loud.

"Anyways, as I was saying,

I know you are worried about future, you are worried about the main continent, you are worried that you would be left out, but trust me.

No matter what happens, I will pull you up with me, I have the ability to do that.

Whether it is Sage Stage or something higher,

Whether you have talent to reach that Stage or not,

I will pull you up there without any worries.

As for Astaria, Amaya and the others,

Don't think too much,

They have traits to be jealous over, but let me share a secret with you,

They are jealous of you as well."

"Hmm?" Allura's expression changed.

"Now don't tell them I told you this, or they will kill me."
