Chapter 1124 He had spoken too quickly.
'Allura, what are you talking ab-'
Nux paused as his eyes fell on the woman standing in front of him. Even though she was trying to hide it and had lowered her head, the momentarily glances that she was stealing, how she was rubbing her fingers together, and the obvious blush on her face…
It was… ｂｅ𝚍𝚗ｏｖｅ𝚕．𝚗𝚎𝚝
'Stop smiling at her!'
Allura shouted.
Nux's smile disappeared in an instant.
Olivia, on the other hand, walked towards Royce and held his hands.
"Hmm?" Royce tilted his hand in confusion, he, however, reciprocated the feeling and gently held her hand. Olivia's heart finally calmed down as she closed her eyes.
She was told that Royce's father, Nux Leander, was known for his strong features and many women had already given themselves to him in their hearts. There was even a time when women were so crazy for him that they would stand in front of ExceedoGenesis for days just so they could see him once.
Even now, when Nux hasn't appeared in public for more than 150 years, there are still women who talk about him, albeit rarely.
Honestly, Olivia thought that these rumors were clearly overly exaggerated. Not only her, but all the people of her age were the same. After all, no matter how handsome a man is, there is no way so many women would fall for him just on the basis of looks. That makes no sense, looks were only a part of what women looked for.
Now, however, Olivia finally realized the truth.
It had been more than a minute since Nux smiled at her and even now, her heart was beating erratically.
This man… wasn't he the incarnation of perfection!? How could such a man exist!?
'Is your Incubus Bloodline activated?' While Olivia was lost in her thoughts, Allura questioned as she had her own doubts in her mind.
No matter how she thought about it, something felt wrong here. Yes, Nux was handsome, he was the most handsome man she had ever seen or imagined, his charm had only increased after he reconstructed his body however, even then, for a perfectly sane woman to start blushing like that just because Nux looked and smiled at her…
'No, it is not.' Nux shook his head.
'I doubt you can completely suppress the Incubus Blood.'
Aisha, however, had a different opinion.
'I know System suppresses your other Bloodline and keeps your Human Form at the top, however, no matter how I think about it, I find it difficult to believe that Primordial Blood was completely suppressed, after all, even the Almighty System makes mistakes.
And containing Blood as arrogant as Primordial Blood… I doubt it is a task that can be done to complete perfection, especially considering that your Human Bloodline is only at Exceptional Level...'
'What are you trying to say…?' Nux questioned, even though he already knew the answer.
'I am saying that you need to be careful.
Weaker women would be especially weak to your charm.
Don't go around smiling at women.'
Aisha warned.
'Should I prepare a mask for him?' Amaya suddenly questioned with a frown on her face. She didn't like the idea of more women chasing after her man. She already had enough bitches to fight as it is.
If only she could use Devouring Mist to Devour everything in the world and live together with Nux… alone and for eternity.
Amaya's black eyes turned even darker as she thought about that possibility.
'I need to explore the Devouring Mist further.'
A dangerous thought was popping in Amaya's head.
"Felberta."
Suddenly, Astaria called out.
"Hmm?"
"You should go catch up with your son and future daughter-in-law, Skyla, and Lane, you two go with her as well. We will update you later."
Felberta stared at Astaria for a while, then, she glanced at Nux and nodded in understanding,
"Olivia, Royce, come with me.
We have a lot to talk about, don't we?"
"Yes, mother." Royce smiled.
Skyla and Lane followed them as well.
With them gone, Nux and the others sat on the Sofas, Astaria glanced at Riona with a solemn look on her face and,
"So? What happened? Why are there so many Succubi here? Where are the other members of the Clan?
And… what happened in Yrniel in the time we were away?"
Hearing those questions, a wry smile appeared on Riona's face.
"I don't even know where to begin."
"You can take it easy, mother," Amaya assured.
Riona nodded, then, she glanced at Nux and, "It was as if everyone was waiting for you people to leave. The moment you left, it felt like someone had pressed a button and a series of events took place."
Riona momentarily paused and seeing everyone was looking at her, she continued, "It first started with new Clans that started emerging.
Of course, many new clans registered at the Ancestral Order every day, these Clans, however, were different. All the members of these Clans were Complete Cultivators."
"What…?" Ember narrowed her eyes.
"That is correct." Riona nodded. "Obviously, it didn't take long for these Clans to rise up, within a single year, they were already regarded as the Top Clans in their Region. The previous Top Clans that held that position were reduced to nothing. They did try to fight back, using numbers and external help, but there was a limit to what Incomplete Cultivators could do in front of Complete Cultivators.
5 years later, these new Clans solidified their position at the Top, the only Clans that could resist them were the Clans that had a Divine Stage Cultivator holding the fort, but honestly, even those clans weren't in any better position.
Yes, the Divine Stage Cultivators could defeat the Leaders of these new Clans who were only at Saint Stage, but the problem was that all those Divine Stage Cultivators were renowned and respected individuals, and people like them fighting against beings who were a stage behind them was simply too shameful.
So most Divine Stage Cultivators didn't make a move, the 'new' clans didn't push them any further either, the two came to a mutual understanding and stayed on the top together."
"So only the power structure of Clans was changed?" Nux questioned.
This didn't sound as bad as he thought.
He had spoken too quickly.
