"You finally woke up."
Felberta commented as she glanced at Nux.
"How long was I out for?"
Nux questioned.
"5 hours."
"Hmmm, that's less than I expected."
"What do you mean?"
Felberta questioned.
Amaya narrowed her eyes as well,
"So, what was in that book?"
"A Cultivation Technique."
Nux replied with a small smile on his face.
"A Cultvation technique?"
Amaya frowned.
The other women had similar expressions as well.
Cultivation Techniques, this was one of the few things which were absolute useless for Nux.
He never needed any technique since he couldn't cultivate any.
"For the System to give out a Cultivation Technique as a reward…
It doesn't make sense…"
Felberta commented.
"Well, the System Shop also sells Cultivation Techniques, so it is not impossible to see this happening.
If the System gave out things with which Nux actually progresses, it wouldn't sell those techniques."
Ember spoke as well.
"But it was a reward for becoming an Emperor…
How can it be a… waste…"
Felberta couldn't believe it.
Honestly, she was looking forward for her husband waking up and then doing something so ridiculous that she would get frustrated.
But now…
Felberta glanced at Nux, she knew he would be disappointed as well, however, as soon her eyes fell on Nux,
She understood,
This bastard… he was smiling…
Something definatley happened.
"Nux,"
She called out.
Nux glanced at her.
"Is it a technique you can cultivate?" Felberta guessed.
Nux's smile suddenly widened,
"Stop smiling like an idiot, answer the question."
Astaria spoke in a strict tone.
Nux however, just smiled as her and stood up.
"If you lovely lot will excuse me, I have to go and cultivate."
"Oi."
Allura called out as she stretched her hand towards Nux,
Nux however, just disappeared and hugged Allura from behind,
"Mhm, that's slow, you have to do better than that."
"…" Allura turned silent.
Nux then tightened his hug and whispered,
"Anyways, I need to talk to you later, alright?
You need to stop hiding things."
Allura's expression changed.
"You can never hide from my stalked like eyes."
Nux whispered as he bit Allura's earlobe, Allura's face turned red,
"I will visit you as soon as I am done with this, so be prepared alright?"
"mm."
Allura nodded meekly.
"Good."
Saying those words, Nux turned towards others and spoke,
"Our journey to the Skyfall Kingdom will be postponed until… well, until I surprise you all."
Then, Nux finally disappeared.
"That bastard… he definitely found something good."
Astaria commented.
"This is the first time he has acted like that." Amaya, however, frowned.
"What do you mean?" Astaria questioned.
"This is not the first time he got something absurdly strong from the System. However, every time he got something from the System, the first thing he does was to discuss it with us, he has never disappeared like this before.
Especially…"
Suddenly, Amaya turned towards Allura.
Nux said some words to Allura before he left.
Allura was doing just fine,
Or atleast what everyone in the group thought, but if Nux said those words to Allura, then it meant that he must have noticed that something was off.
And Allura's reaction to his words cleared that.
"He would never leave to test out something he got from the System, especially when he knows that one of us needs his attention."
The women's expression changed.
They all knew it as well.
Nux was not like this.
No matter how powerful ability he receives, he would never keep it before his wives,
All of them knew this well.
"We need to find him."
Evane spoke.
This issue might be more serious than they thought.
Nux was an expert when it came to divert attention, there is a high chance that he was doing something like that again.
"I already tested the connection, he has blocked it."
Felberta spoke up.
Now they were even surer.
Something was definitely wrong.
Without saying any words, Lane quickly turned around and left.
Standing here, discussing wouldn't do anything, they needed to start looking.
The other women glanced at each other and started searching for him.
'Don't use [Sense] to search for him, if he 'intends' to hide, [Sense] won't work. Use Mana.'
Ember reminded everyone.
The others nodded and continued searching,
However, no matter where they looked,
Nux was nowhere to be found.
12 hours passed by.
'Anyone?'
'No.'
'Where did that bastard go!?'
'We can still use the ability, so we can throw the worst case out of our mind.'
Astaria spoke up.
'Yes, we have searched enough already.'
Felberta agreed.
'He is not a child, he can deal with things on his own. We need to trust him as well.
He must have his reasons for doing what he is doing.'
Ember nodded as well.
'…'
Amaya didn't say anything.
She still wanted to continue looking.
'Honestly, if he don't want us to find him, I highly doubt any of us can find him, if you people want, you can go look for him.
I will place my trust on him and go train without thinking about useless stuff.'
Saying those words, Astaria stopped searching.
The others thought about it and in the end, they decided to do the same as well.
Astaria was right.
They all needed to trust him as well.
For all they knew, they all might be overreacting.
Thinking all this, the women calmed down and returned to their house.
However, this calm situation didn't stay for a long time.
A day passed by, but there was no sign of Nux.
'Well, he did postpone our return to the Skyfall Kingdom that was after a week, so he might need a few more days to return.'
This was the logic women used to calm themselves down.
However, another day, then one more, another one and just like that, and just like that, 2 weeks passed by but Nux didn't return.
"This… isn't good, is it?"
Amaya, who was now getting restless question.
"Just trust him."
Astaria still stuck with her thougths.
She was worried as well, but as the oldest one here, she decided to be the moral support.
The others, however, weren't as calm as her.
