Chapter 960 Hahaha~ You Are A Brave One, Aren’t You?
960 Hahaha~ You are a brave one, aren't you?
"Pass me the contract."
Orpheus, who spoke with his usual expressionless look on his face.
"You have prepared it already, did you not?" He asked.
"Of course. I am a hardworking man."
Nux replied with a smile on his face as he passed a piece of paper to Orpheus.
Orpheus grabbed the paper as he started reading the conditions, then suddenly, Ambrosia, who was at the opposite end of the table appeared right next to Orpheus and peeked into the paper.
Nux raised his eyebrow at that.
Ambrosia then glanced at Nux, a small smile appeared on her face as her crimson eyes shined and,
"I can at least read the conditions, you won't mind, right?"
"Y-Yes, of course." Nux nodded without thinking.
'NUX!'
Suddenly, Nux heard Melia's shout, he quickly came out of his reverie as Melia tightly grabbed his hand under the table.
'Don't look into her eyes.'
Melia warned with a solemn look on her face.
'H-Huh?' Nux was surprised.
'Did she use [Charm] on me?'
He questioned, unable to believe what happened.
It was strange how he readily nodded at Ambrosia's request, he didn't think too much about it, but to think his mother-in-law actually used [Charm] on him.
Nux already knew that Ambrosia could easily pass through his mental defenses but…
He had mixed feelings.
He couldn't really say that he liked the fact that his mother-in-law tried to manipulate him.
'Of course not.'
However, before Nux could think too much, Melia shook her head.
'You are her son-in-law, mother is someone who values relationships a lot. She would never use [Charm] on you. If she did, you wouldn't be in a state where you could talk to me like this.' Melia explained.
'Then why are you telling me to not look into her eyes?'
'That's because she is mother. As I said before, she is the being with the strongest [Charm] in the entire world. She has trained [Charm] to maximum efficiency, it is to the point where even Divine Stage Cultivators have to be very around her.
However, because of this, her eyes unconsciously leak energy, so even if she is not actively trying to [Charm] you, if you look into her eyes as she asks you a question, you will most probably try to come up with an answer that would not hurt her.'
'…' Hearing Melia's words, Nux turned silent.
He glanced at Ambrosia again, this time, he was much more cautious than before.
What kind of absurd power was this?
Creating simps around her unconsciously, what in the hell!?
And they say he is a cheat?
"Hmm? Son-in-law, is there something on my face?"
Sensing Nux's gaze, Ambrosia, who was curiously reading the contract glanced at Nux and questioned with a slight smile on her face.
"N-No, I was j-just thinking that you look quite beautiful, mother-in-law," Nux replied.
"Oh? Flirting and calling me mother-in-law in the same sentence, huh? You have quite the style don't you?" Ambrosia chuckled.
"Would you rather I not call you mother-in-law?" Nux smiled back.
How could he lose in front of a woman?
However, the woman he was standing in front of was not simple.
Ambrosia simply glanced at Nux, her red eyes shone and,
"Would you like to do it?" She questioned.
Nux was taken aback by her response, he didn't think she would actively talk back like this. Of course, this didn't mean he would give in. It was the fun part, wasn't it? The woman flirting back with him!
"I would if I had the chance." Nux smiled.
"Hahaha~ You are a brave one, aren't you?" Ambrosia chuckled.
"But still, it isn't fun if you can't even look into my eyes, now is it?
No matter what you do, I would always think of you as a mischievous child if you act like that."
Ambrosia replied and this time, Nux turned silent.
"I am joking of course. Even if you did manage to look into my eyes, I love my husband too much. You are many many thousands years late, Nux.
Now you can only have my daughter."
"Of course. I never said I wasn't satisfied, my wife is too lovely for me to be unsatisfied. I would say I lucked out. I was just joking around, of course, Mother-in-law." Nux laughed as he held Melia's hand.
A defeat was a defeat.
He had to take it like a real man.
"But I must say Nux, you really are daring to joke around with your future teacher's wife. My husband is known for being quite strict, you know?" Suddenly, Ambrosia commented.
"So does that mean you are going to accept my conditions?" Nux questioned as he glanced at Orpheus.
However, before Orpheus could answer, "Of course he will. Rather, I am sure he is dying to say that, but I just don't stop speaking, isn't that right, darling?" Ambrosia glanced at Orpheus with an enchanting smile on her face.
"Of course not."
Orpheus shook his head.
"How shy~" Ambrosia was definitely enjoying this.
"Anyways, Nux, I agree to your conditions.
Your training will start from tomorrow.
But be prepared, as my wife said, I am quite strict."
Orpheus turned towards Nux and spoke.
When he heard the last sentence, Nux felt a chill running down his spine. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏｖｅ𝚕．ｃｏｍ
Orpheus definitely didn't like him flirting with his wife.
He could see that in those red eyes. He could see the Blood!
Nux realized that he might have made the biggest mistake of his little life because he was influenced by Ambrosia.
"Can I join you two as well?"
Suddenly, Ambrosia questioned.
Nux frowned.
He clearly mentioned in the contract that no one else was allowed to watch it and Orpheus wasn't going to share what he observed without Nux's permission.
Ambrosia, who read the contract shouldn't be asking this question,
However,
"Of course, I will sign the contract as well."
Nux frowned in confusion, and then, Ambrosia dropped the bomb.
"I am saying that not only Orpheus, I am willing to train you together with him as well."
