Chapter 520 Are You Finally Ready To Marry Me?
She muttered inwardly.
Seeing her acting like that, a teasing smile appeared on Nux\'s face and he questioned,
"Oh? What\'s with that beautiful smile? Did I manage to touch your heart? Are you finally ready to marry me?"
"Who is willing to marry you!? Touched my heart, my foot! Also, you are trying to court your wife\'s grandmother, don\'t you feel awkward at all?"
Astaria shot back.
Hearing those words, Evane\'s face turned red.
Seeing Nux flirting with her grandmother was indeed awkward.
Nux glanced at Evane and realized that he may have gone a little too far, he should stop doing this in front of Evane…
\'Fuck, this is a little awkward now…
Is this what they call Oyakodon?
No, I am going a level even further than that…
Damn, to think I would go for Oyakodon Plus without even trying Oyakodon first, I am a genius indeed.\'
Nux nodded to himself.
Then he glanced at Astaria and continued,
"Tsk, next time I will meet you alone,"
"H-Huh?"
Astaria didn\'t know what to say.
"Also, I think I told you this before, don\'t call yourself a \'Grandma\', sheesh, just look at yourself before saying things like that.
To be honest, you are the first woman who likes to scream \'I am an Old Woman!\' out loud, and here I thought women like to stay and act young.
Guess that is not the case for all, huh…
Hmmm, preferring to be seen as an aged woman by others… a strange quirk indeed…
Of course, I won\'t judge, I will accept you as you are."
Nux continued to nod his head and spoke with an earnest look on his face.
"I do not prefer to be seen as an aged woman!"
Astaria shot back.
"Heeh, that doesn\'t seem to be the case…" Nux spoke.
Astaria glanced at Nux who was looking at him with a doubtful look on his face, she then turned towards his wife and although they weren\'t looking at her with the same expressions as Nux\'s, Astaria still felt like they were judging her.
"I do not have a strange quirk like that!"
Astaria shot back.
Amaya, on the other hand, glanced at Nux and started analyzing.
To make an Emperor Stage Cultivator so flustered with just mere words alone…
Was Nux always this good with words?
Or was it a recent development?
No, now that she thinks about it, Amaya realized that although Nux may not be the brightest card when it comes to strategizing and things like that, when it comes to women, his brain starts working like a genius\'s brain, always coming up with new and ridiculously perfect ideas.
A strange quirk indeed…
\'Or maybe he is just a pervert.\'
Amaya thought of another possibility and seeing him looking at Astaria while enjoying her flustered expression, Amaya solidified her thoughts.
\'A pervert indeed.\'
"Alright Alright, let\'s stop this now, I can\'t watch the strongest existence in the world flirt with my husband."
Suddenly, Ember stepped up.
"Which part of all this looks like I am the one flirting with him to you!?"
Astaria shot back.
Ember, however, just shrugged her shoulders, and then, a serious look appeared on her face,
"I think we are gathered here to discuss an issue more important than this."
Hearing the words, the air in the room changed and a serious look appeared on everyone\'s face.
"The Solid Earth Kingdom…"
Evane spoke in a solemn tone.
Nux turned towards Astaria and spoke,
"I have already informed them about all this."
"Oh? Then what do they suggest?" Astaria questioned back.
"Cooperation." This time, Amaya was the one who answered.
Astaria turned towards Amaya and titled her question in confusion.
"Cooperation?"
"Yes, if things involve Emperors and even that Mythical Creature, then the stakes are too high, we can\'t deal with this alone. We need to cooperate with other Kingdoms and seek their help. Well, more accurately, their Protectors help."
Amaya explained.
"Then who should we contact? The Skadis?" Astaria questioned.
Amaya, however, shook her head,
"We cannot contact the Skadis. I suspect that they are involved in all this, and they might not be on our side."
"What do you mean?"
"It is just suspicion, but from what my mother told me, I think Lord Amletus, the protector of the Skadi Kingdom is in cahoots with the Solid Earth Kingdom."
Amaya replied and suddenly, Astaria narrowed her eyes,
"Mother? As in…"
"Riona Skadi, yes." Amaya nodded.
"You met your mother?"
"I was in the Skadi Kingdom for the last few days, I just returned yesterday," Amaya answered.
"And what does your mother has to say about all this?" Astaria questioned in a suspicious tone.
It was clear that she didn\'t like the fact that Amaya met her mother.
"You can trust Riona, she is not our enemy, rather, you can even treat her as an ally, however, she can\'t do much to help her since the protector of her Kingdom is thinking something else," Nux spoke up.
Astaria turned towards Nux and questioned,
"You seem to have a good impression of Riona, wait… Don\'t tell me…"
Astaria then widened her eyes as he considered another possibility.
Nux raised his hand and stopped her mid-sentence,
"Whatever you are thinking, throw that thought out in the gutter, I am not going after Riona, even though she is an extraordinary woman."
"…"
"…"
All the women turned silent.
Nux, however, acted as if he didn\'t notice the strange silence and continued,
"Just trust me on this one, Riona is not our enemy, she can even act as our informant, the moment Amletus makes a move, we will get informed. You can think of her as a spy."
"A Spy…? You aren\'t really thinking about what would happen if she gets caught, are you?" Astaria questioned.
"She won\'t get caught, I am confident. This is not the first time I have planted a King Stage Cultivator as a spy to keep an eye on an Emperor after all."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Astaria frowned.
"The General of the Solid Earth Kingdom, do you know him?"
"I have heard about him, yes."
"He is my spy as well."
Nux revealed nonchalantly.
