1298 How cute.
"Why is everyone around that bastard so monstrous?"
One of the Divine Stage Dragon couldn't help but question as he glanced at the woman walking in front of him.
"How can every single one of them be a never seen before genius? This makes no sense! Even if they cultivate faster than others, doesn't that actually put them in disadvantage? How can they be stronger than almost all the cultivators at their level?"
The Dragons couldn't believe it.
They had already accepted that man was a monster, a being who could defeat the previous Dragon Lord in a one on one battle couldn't be explain with any other word but even so... Geniuses didn't grow on trees, as amazing as presence of one genius was, it also reduces the chances of finding another one but... "To think she would break the record and enter the ranks of top 20..."
"Don't forget that these records are being held ever since the Trial Towers were established, even the beings who went to the Ancestral Order or were already the part of it took the same trials and their scores were recorded in it.
That makes that woman a Dragon whose potential is amongst the Top 20 Dragons that had ever existed even the world."
"Monster..."
The Dragons continued to chat, Ember on the other hand, continued to walk forward and looked around before narrowing her eyes.
Then, she glanced at a certain direction sensing that something strange was happening there, however before she could look too much into it.
"Do you girls plan to kill me or something?"
She heard a playful voice.
Ember turned around and her eyes fell on Nux, a smile appeared on her face but in the next instant, the smile disappeared and, "You are late."
She spoke, her expression was similar to the time when Nux first met the General of the Woods Dynasty.
Nux stared at the Dragon in front of him with a lost look on his face.
Unlike the other Dragons, Ember's eyes hadn't turned into golden color, she had kept her original, red color, the Dragon Horns on her face was the combination of Red Black color, giving them an ominous shade. Her Black Red hair was flowing with the winds, giving her an otherworldly charm.
Ember's features were strong to begin with, however, with the Dragon Blood now flowing into her veins, her charm had shot through the roof.
She also seemed to have regained her previously confident self.
Ember Picture
"Some matters held me up." Nux replied.
Ember narrowed her eyes and Nux just chuckled,
"I was preparing the place the two of us would be spending our time in after this."
Ember tilted her head in confusion, Nux however, glanced at his wife and with his eyes shining in intense possessiveness, he stared right into Ember's eyes and, "I already missed my chance once, the same won't be happening again. You are coming with me, Ember Leander."
"And who said you get to decide that?" Ember questioned back as she stared back into Nux's eyes, not giving into the intense possessiveness that his eyes poured into her body.
Nux titled his head, then a slight smile appeared on his face.
Then, he suddenly rushed towards Ember, his speed was so fast that Ember couldn't even react to it.
BOOOM
The two then clashed into the wall and as the dust cleared up, people saw Nux pressing Ember into the wall, with his hand on her neck, from one look, he looked like an abusive husband who hits his wife whenever things didn't go the way he wanted them to go.
However, once their eyes fell on Ember's expression and the smile that was about to leak out on mouth despite her countless efforts of hiding it in.
"So this is how you wish to play huh? I can do that."
Nux spoke as he looked right into Ember's eyes, the distance between the two had pretty much disappeared, the two could feel each other's breath on their faces. The temperature around them was rising.
"Heh, you can? I highly doubt that." Ember snorted as she glanced at her shoulders and noticed the Protective layer that Nux had created in order to protect her from receiving any sort of the damage.
The wall behind them had web like cracks all over them, however, she had received no damage at all, heck, let alone damage, she couldn't even feel any sort of pain, the 'rough' act Nux had come up with was simply too much for him to hold.
"I sometimes wonder what you do with Edda. How do you even satisfy her tendencies when you are so scared to hurting your wives."
"I do not hurt my woman, Dragon.
I have a different way to torture you."
"Is that so?" Ember looked into Nux eyes with a curious look on her face.
It was clear what she wanted.
"You are making a mistake, Ember Leander." Nux warned.
"I like to make mistakes, makes me feel more human."
"You are a Dragon." Nux retorted, now however, the number of chances the Dragon had had reduced.
"Don't give in too soon, Dragon. At least try to make it exciting."
Nux spoke as he then forcefully grabbed his Dragon and opened a Portal.
The man then walked into the Portal and the Portal disappeared. The Dragons who were watching the entire scene play out were silent.
"What in the hell did we just watch...?" One of the Dragon questioned.
Others, however had no answers.
The entire Hall was silent, until...
"I will be taking my leave now, it has been a while since I have seen my wives." One of the Dragon spoke up as he then turned around and left before anyone could stop him.
The others glanced at each other and as if they had come up with a collective decision, they all disappeared.
"..."
Ignatia, who was left alone inside the large hall didn't know what to say. She wanted to forget what she had just seen, however, seeing the expectant smile on Ember's face when that man placed her on his shoulder like a bag of rag, she couldn't help but have strange thoughts in her head.
"I still need to work."
In the end however, Ignatia closed her eyes and sighed. Making her mind, she turned around, wanting to continue to tend to her things, the expectant smile on Ember's face, however, still hadn't left her mind.
...
On the other side, Nux who had thrown Ember to the bed was walking towards him slowly.
Ember who glanced at him laughed out loud,
"If you are this slow, I might leave."
"Why don't you then?"
Nux questioned back. Ember tilted her head and then, she saw a big, demonic smile on Nux's face, "My slow walk is your last chance, it would still take me 10 seconds to reach the bed, these are the last 10 seconds you will have to decide and run away, Ember Leander.
The last 10 seconds you have to keep your newly found Dragon Pride, or I will be crushing it into countless pieces."
Nux's words echoed through the ground, his golden eyes were continuously transitioning between golden and purple, this just showed just how much he was holding back his laten Incubus abilities from acting out.
Ember, who was looking into those eyes noticed that her body had frozen.
It wasn't Nux, he didn't use any abilities to do it, it was her body. No matter how much her mind wanted her to move, her heart had already decided, whatever that was coming next, her body and her heart wanted it.
Heck, Ember could already feel her little sister tremble as Nux continued to walk close to her.
"You aren't moving, Ember."
Nux chuckled. Ember clenched her fists as she glared at Nux, her 'glare' however, to others, looked no different then eyes that had lost their shine, the battle hadn't even started and Ember was already in a pretty bad position.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5..."
And to make matters worse, Nux started the countdown.
"2... 1... and that's time up."
Nux spoke as he then placed his knee on the bed and climbed up and at the same time, placed his hand on Ember's forehead to pushed her onto the bed, forcing her to lie down.
Without waiting any further, he climbed right on top of her. His golden eyes looking right into Ember's, the two stared at each other, the distance between them was so close that Ember's lips formed a pout on her own, expecting a kiss but of course, This wasn't the pleasure time.
It was the torture time.
Nux kissed her forehead, then her eyes, her nose, her cheeks, her chin and then even the side of her mouths, however, their lips didn't touch.
Ember, who could tell what he was trying to do, pulled back her lips in resistance.
Since he didn't wish to kiss, she didn't want it either!
Seeing that, Nux just chuckled.
"How cute."
