Chapter 1264 I am noticing that you are not taking enough care of your Queen, Subject. 1264 I am noticing that you are not taking enough care of your Queen, Subject. 'He... He used my powers...!?' Vulpiana was shocked, she couldn't sense her Space Powers being used but the fact that Nux disappeared right in front of her eyes could only mean that he teleported away. Of course, Vulpiana knew about Nux's ability to form Portals, it was something related to space as well, however since it was different from her domain, she didn't put much focus on it. Now, however, things were different. The ability Nux used was too similar to her own. 'But how is that possible... he is not a Foxkin...' Vulpiana was confused. The man was surrounded by mystery, yes, he could even turn into an Incubus despite him clearly being a human. The fact that he could use another race's ability shouldn't be very surprising if he used the ability of some other race, that is. The Foxkins were different. One couldn't just 'copy' their abilities, it didn't work like that. 'I need to discuss this with Mother...' Vulpiana thought inwardly, a grim expression appearing on her face. ... "Greetings, My Highness." On the other hand, Nux, who appeared right next to Evane after using [Harem's Gate] bowed his head with a playful smile on his face. Seeing him, a big smile appear on Evane's face as well, "I am noticing that you are not taking enough care of your Queen, Subject." She spoke, mirroring Nux's energy. Nux raised his head and saw Evane sitting on the bed with an expectant look on her face. He quickly walked towards her, picked her up, and placed her on his lap. "I apologize that you feel that way, My Highness." He spoke as he gently grazed his lips on her shoulders. Evane's back arched up as she closed her eyes, a satisfied smile appearing on her face. Her actions were quite bold considering her reserved and shy personality. The cute and timid acting like this would surprise many, not that many would get to see this side of her. It was a sight reserved exclusively for Nux. Nux's hands moved, grazing her slender waist before he gently pressed her belly, taking in a deep breath, he imprinted Evane's fragrance in his mind. His actions sent jolts into Evane's body, goosebumps rose all over her body. Evane's hand moved up, holding Nux's head from behind. "Would that be enough for an apology, My Highness?" Nux questioned, of course, his hands didn't stop moving all this time and his fingers were gently circling under her lower breasts. The slight teasing clearly had the motive to manipulate the answer to the question he asked. There was no way Evane would nod when he teased her like that. She would want more. And that was what Nux wanted as well. He wanted his Queen to take charge and order him to ravage her. And Evane, despite knowing what he was doing, fell for his games, "You are getting bolder and bolder, subject. You think something like this would be enough? Have you lost your mind?" She replied. Nux's smile widened, "Then I shall take my actions a step further to repent." Nux whispered, his mouth slowly moving towards Evane's ears as he then bit her earlobe. His cold hand slipped under her dress, touching her warm skin, it was time to finally hold the soft breasts that he had been waiting for. Evane waited for the moment with an expectant look on her face as well. It was an intimate moment that was going to lead to a perverted night, but suddenly, Nux paused and his expression changed. Evane frowned in confusion, when she noticed Nux's expression, her frown deepened, "What happened?" She questioned. With Evane in his arms, Nux suddenly stood up. Then, he placed her on the bed, "We will continue this the moment I return, alright?" "What happened?" Evane repeated her question. "We have some guests," Nux spoke. Evane's expression turned grim as she nodded. "Should I prepare the Core?" Evane questioned, it was their usual strategy where women kept a Portal open every time something out of the expectations happened. "You don't need to do that, they aren't that strong." Nux shook his head. Then with a smile, he kissed Evane's forehead and, "You stay here, I'll be back in a moment." "Mhm." Evane nodded with a smile on her face as well. Nux disappeared. ... Outside the ExceedoGenesis walls, 10 Divine Stage Cultivators appeared. "This is where the Artifact was used." One of them spoke up, of course, according to them, no one here could sense them. How could they? After all, the Artifact they were using made it hard for even the Catkins to notice their presence. Not to mention that they were Divine Stage Cultivators, with their level of control, sensing their presence was an achievement in itself. "I do not sense her presence." Another Cultivator replied with a grim look on his face. "Don't make a big deal out of it, she already sent a message that everything was alright. It is only a false alarm." "And what if that message was sent by someone else?" "Are you implying that the Young Mistress got captured?" "..." Silence fell. Of course, whatever they were thinking was only a worse-case scenario and the chances of that being true were low, however, if this worse-case scenario did come true... The Cultivators trembled in endless fear the moment they thought about all this. One of them instantly turned towards the ExceedoGenesis Base and, "Should we take action? If anything happened to Young Mistress here, I doubt anyone other than 'him' can do it. If something did happen, he should know about it." "Don't be foolish, they told us not to act against him for now," "Then what are we supposed to do here!?" "You think shouting at me would help!? Your genius plan is to capture and interrogate him!? What if he is not involved with this!? Are you planning to reveal everything we have been hiding for so long for nothing!? What are you going to do if that Dragon Woman got involved!?" "I am not a coward like you!" "Haah!? Are you trying to pick a fight with me!?" In an instant, the atmosphere changed as the two cultivators stood against each other. Nux, who was watching the show from behind sat on a chair and decided to watch the drama play out. It was quite interesting to hear how they all were trying to 'hide' themselves when they were acting like this right in front of him. Nux was actually looking forward to watch more and try and learn more about the Fox Woman he was interested in, but suddenly, "Silence." One of the Cultivators spoke up. With how the two cultivators instantly turned silent as they heard his voice, it was clear that his status here wasn't small. "She used her ability here." The Cultivator spoke as he noticed the Artifact he was carrying reacting. Hearing his words, the Cultivators seemed surprised, "Young Mistress used her ability...? Why would she do something like that?" "Is she really in danger?" "Should I go call backup?" More and more questions were raised. Nux could tell that these people deeply cared about Vulpiana. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder how a Beastmen House was so strong. One had to know that even the Strongest Beastmen City, the Lionheart City ruled by Arion Lionheart, only had 4 Divine Stage Cultivators holding the fort. Even the Strongest Demon States didn't have more than 5 Divine Stage Cultivators under them. In this situation, for the Dawnshade House to send these many Divine Stage Cultivators just because Vulpiana used an Artifact. Not to mention the respect with which these people were calling Vulpiana, it didn't match the arrogance Divine Stage Cultivators usually have. They looked... tamed... 'Just how many secrets are you hiding, Vulpiana Dawnshade...' Nux couldn't help but smile widely as he thought about it. The Dawnshade House... The Mystery surrounding it was too much for him to simply ignore it. Not to mention the fact that even Vyriana didn't know much about the Dawnshade House and treated it like any other Beastmen House made him even more curious about it. 'They are definitely holding a secret... A secret that might be too dangerous to delve into.' Nux wasn't a fool. He already had a rough idea about what it could be. However, a wild guess based just on his feelings alone was nothing. He needed proof and to get that, he needed to act, He needed to visit the Dawnshade House. However, For now, Nux decided to put that thought on hold. He had a feeling that if he did something like this, it might put him in a position he might not be able to return from and it might even affect his progress with Vulpiana. "We will be returning." Suddenly, the Divine Stage Cultivator spoke up. "What!? Wh-" Obviously, he met resistance, however, just a single gaze was enough to deal with that. "We will report this to the Higher Ups. Young Mistress used her ability, If she did that, then it is very much possible that she escaped successfully, Because if she didn't manage to get away even after using her ability, Then our presence wouldn't make any difference either."
