1291 Would you like to meet her?
"Nux...?"
Vulpiana blinked in surprise as she saw Nux walking into her room.
Nux glanced at her and smiled, his smile, however, was different from the usual playful smile that he carries, it was more of a wry smile, his head was still filled with the conversation he just had with the strange voice.
Vulpiana, however, completely missed that and continued to question,
"How did you get in here? Did they let you in? What did you say to them?"
Vulpiana had been keeping an eye on Nux for quite a long time now, she knew about his never-seen-before abilities and had even personally witnessed his ability to completely hide his presence making it impossible for even Divine Stage Cultivators to sense his presence.
However, despite that, Vulpiana didn't even consider the thought of Nux being able to sneak into her room.
That was simply not possible.
"I said I came here to meet a friend."
Nux replied and finally noticing his tone, Vulpiana finally realized.
"You must have met her huh?"
"Her?" Nux frowned in confusion.
Vulpiana realized her mistake and corrected herself, "I was talking about the Voice, you must have heard a voice before coming here, didn't you?"
"I did." Nux nodded.
"It must have been disheartening."
Vulpiana commented with a wry smile that was similar to Nux's. Clearly, she could sympathize with the man in front of her.
"It was..." Nux nodded as well.
"If it makes you feel better, then know that she was a well-known genius at her time and could be considered a monster in her own right. So her being able to see through you was not something you would have to deal with on a regular basis, I doubt you would find anyone like her in the future."
"Do you know who that voice is...?" Nux questioned with a curious look on his face.
"Of course, I know that, that was my Mother, Faelara Dawnshade."
Nux was surprised, he didn't think Vulpiana would reveal it without a second thought and as if she could read his thoughts, Vulpiana just shrugged, "Don't worry, I am sure she is hearing this conversation we are having as well. If she had any problems with you knowing about it, she would not have let me speak."
Nux frowned in confusion.
Why bother going with all the pitch-black thingy and using a genderless voice to communicate when you were going to reveal everything so quickly anyway?
He couldn't understand.
Vulpiana, however, again, read his expression and answered,
"It allows her to get into her target's mind far more easily. Inside the Darkroom where a person can't even see his own self is usually a place where he lets his guard down the quickest."
"Isn't that the opposite?" Nux frowned in confusion.
Who in their right mind would let their guard down when they can't even see anything around them?
"Are you trying to question my mother, a woman who pretty much guessed learned everything about you using the very technique you are questioning?" Vulpiana chuckled and Nux had no choice but to turn silent.
In the end, he just decided to change the topic,
"You said that she is listening to our conversation, don't you find it suffocating?"
"Aren't you doing the same to your wives?" Vyriana questioned back.
"Huh? Who told you that?" Nux frowned in confusion.
Vulpiana, however, stared at him with a deadpan look on her face, and, "You have an ability that would allow you to open a portal and visit your wives no matter where you are. How is that any different than my mother listening to my conversation?
Both of these actions do not respect the other party's privacy, now does it?"
Vulpiana spoke as she glanced at the walls around her, clearly, while talking to Nux, she was trying to send a message to her mother as well.
"Hey, I respect my wives' privacy, I always ask before I go to them."
"Right, of course, you always shout at the sky and when your wives who are sometimes 1000s of kilometers away hear your shout, they reply in a similar way, and only then do you appear next to them."
Vulpiana replied sarcastically and Nux turned silent again.
It was clear that today was just not his day.
Meeting Faelara had affected his game and had put a lot of questions in his mind. He couldn't enter the flirty zone, especially after knowing that that monster was still listening to their conversation.
"Would you like to meet her?"
Suddenly, Vulpiana questioned.
"Huh?" Nux frowned in confusion.
"Since you are so excessively cautious of her, having a conversation here would be difficult. Then how about we simply go and meet the woman responsible for this, this time, a face-to-face meeting."
Vulpiana questioned and after thinking about it for a while, Nux nodded.
"Sure."
At the very least, he would get to see the face of the woman who troubled him to this extent in their first meeting.
He also wanted to see what that monster looked like.
Someone who was capable of sensing his presence, something even the likes of Vyriana couldn't do.
Vulpiana nodded as she then glanced at the wall, waiting for a response, and just as she expected, 5 seconds later, a door was formed in front of them.
"Let's go," Vulpiana spoke as she extended her hand toward Nux.
Nux blinked in surprise, but of course, seeing the woman making the first move on her own, he jumped at the opportunity and held her hand, even going as far as intervening his fingers with hers.
Nux didn't fail to notice how Vulpiana's expression changed for a slight moment when he held her hand, however, seeing as how the woman wasn't reacting to it, Nux decided to ignore it as well and the two walked into the door that had appeared in front of them.
On the other side of the door, there was a big, lavish hall, with pillars supporting the roof and paintings rich with culture and heritage hanging all over the walls, the beauty of the hall was mesmerizing, Nux's eyes, however, were captured by something even more beautiful.
"Vulpiana..."
With a dazed look on his face, Nux called out.
"What is it?" Vulpiana questioned.
"Is your mother single?"
