"How old are you, Nux?"
Erotica questioned with a curious look on her face.
"…" Astaria and the others glanced at each other with wry smiles on their faces.
Seeing their expressions, Erotica was even surer that Nux was older than most of his wives.
But honestly, she didn't blame him either.
This man was a monster who defeated her, an Emperor Stage Cultivator when he was just a King Stage Cultivator.
Of course, she couldn't use most of her spells due to limited Mana in this continent, however, Nux had the same fighting environment as her, so she couldn't use this as an excuse. Also, Erotica knew that even if they fought outside of this continent, she would still lose.
This man… he could somehow control Devouring Mist…
Not only that, he had the highest level of Mastery over it…
He had the power to Devour Life.
In theory, Nux could even Kill a Sage or a Great Sage, of course, they wouldn't just stay still and let him do whatever he wanted, they would defeat them before he even has the chance to do anything. She, however, didn't have that option.
She was just an Emperor, Nux could absolutely destroy her no matter where they are…
So even if he was a little older, it didn't matt-
"22."
"Mhm, don't worry, 22 is not that ol-"
Erotica paused.
Then, she turned towards Nux and blinked,
"What… did you say…?"
"I am 22 years old."
Nux repeated himself.
"…you… are the youngest one here…?"
Erotica questioned.
"Mhm, he is still a little boy~"
Skyla laughed until Nux grabbed her cheeks and pulled her close to her.
"You guys…"
Suddenly, Erotica glanced at all the people in front of her and,
"When I am asked your age,
You do realize I want to know how many 'years' old you are, right?
You know it's not the count of how many 5 years you have lived, right?"
"…"
Nux and his wives turned silent.
"Pfft!"
In the end, Allura failed to control herself and laughed out.
"Don't look at her like that, you guys.
That is a natural reaction.
Weren't we the same when this monster first appeared in front of us?"
The women smiled as they all recalled how they met Nux.
Allura chuckled, then she turned towards Erotica and smiled,
"Don't worry, you wish to be his friend, don't you? You would get used to all this as you stay close to him. I am sure you will attain the 'absolute shield' sooner or later.
As for your answer, we know how to count our age, don't worry."
"…"
Erotica turned silent as she glanced at Allura.
Seeing this, Allura frowned and then questioned,
"What is it?"
"You must be the first woman in this world who is not against her husband being close to a succubus."
Hearing those words, Allura just smiled, she then placed one leg over the other and,
"Well, I don't exactly know what you succubuses are, but don't worry, you won't face any form of oppression from us if you try to approach our husband."
"Don't include me in that. I never said I would allow any bitch to get close to my Nux. There are enough of you nuisance already. He is mine."
Amaya was quick to deny Allura's words.
Allura glanced at Amaya and sighed,
"Well, you won't face any kind of oppression from me. I don't represent the others."
"You seem pretty chill about this…
Do you perhaps… not love him?"
Erotica questioned as she tilted her head in confusion.
A playful smile then appeared on Erotica's face as she spoke,
"We succubuses love to steal, you know?"
However, unlike the frown that she was expecting to appear on Allura's face, a playful smile appeared on her face as she tilted her head and her blue eyes shined,
"Do you really think you can steal him away from me?
Where are even getting that confidence from, girl?"
"…"
Erotica turned silent.
This woman in front of her…
Something was definitely wrong with her…
She was looking down on a succubus… a mere human was looking down on her, a succubus when it came to seducing men…
If anyone outside of this continent heard this, they would just laugh out loud and shake their head.
But…
But why was she… feeling intimidated by this human…
That charm that this woman was excluding…
Why does it feel like she is standing… in front of her mother…?
'No no no no no no.'
Erotica quickly pushed that thought out of her mind.
She didn't want to think about that woman… at least not now…
She glanced at Nux's other wives and just like Allura, they all were smiling at her as well.
Even that silent-looking, expressionless girl with big breasts and brown hair had a smile on her face. It was as if…
They were all challenging her to do her best…
The only person who did not have a smile on her face was…
"You have big dreams, demon.
Stay away from my Nux."
Amaya spoke as she narrowed her eyes.
"What? Are you that scared?" : owner of this content.
Erotica smiled.
"I just don't want another person to fly around him and annoy us all."
"Annoy? But aren't I providing important information to you all?" Erotica chuckled.
"Then do that, make yourself useful."
Amaya spoke up.
"How many races are there in Yrniel?"
Amaya questioned.
"There ar-"
Erotica was just about to answer, however, before she could, Riona walked into the room and,
"Guys… can you stop these demons before talking to each other? We have another case."
Nux and the others glanced at each other…
They forgot about it…
Well, they don't see a demon every day after all…
They just got a little excited…
Nux then turned towards Erotica and questioned,
"So do you have a way to stop them, or… do we need to capture them all on our own?"
"…"
Erotica glanced at Nux…
Just the utter confidence he had when he said, 'or do we need to capture them all' was… hurtful…
He was completely looking down on them…
But… what was even more frustrating was that he had all the right to do that.
