[A/N: Please wait for a while, I will post the next 2 chapters within the next few hours (4 hours at max)] ... "Melia, I need your help." Nux spoke up. "Huh?" Melia frowned. There… there was such an intimate atmosphere created between the two of them, Melia thought that Nux would continue with his usual flirting as he probably holds her hand or rest his head on her shoulders, or maybe even both. Honestly, it wouldn't be a lie to say that Melia liked spending time with Nux like this. She couldn't describe it, but whenever she is this close to Nux, there is that fluttery feeling in her heart, that strange sense of comfort, Melia didn't know since when she had started to develop it, she only came to ExceedoGenesis because she wanted to be independent and raise a strong clan from the start without the help of her family, that was her only goal. However, somewhere in the middle, something in her changed, This man… She started to like spending time with him… It was a foreign feeling that she hadn't experienced before, however, Melia didn't hate it. And just like how it always happens, today too, Melia was hoping to experience the same fluttery feeling, but since Nux was asking for her help, she decided to postpone it and, "What can I help you with?" Melia questioned. Nux gently grabbed Melia's hands, then, "Don't you find it strange that other than Allura, all my wives are Emperor Stage Cultivators?" Nux questioned. "I do. I tried asking about it, however, Allura just said 'you will realize it later.'" Melia replied, but then suddenly, her face turned red. Seeing that, Nux frowned. He hadn't even done anything, why was Melia reacting like that? "Are you alright?" he questioned in worry. "I-I am alright, please continue." Melia nodded. At the same time, she recalled the conversation she had with Allura, … 'Why are all your sisters except you Emperors? Isn't that a little too strange?' Melia questioned. 'Heh, you will realize it later.' Allura replied with a meaningful smile on her face. Then, she turned towards Melia and with a blissful expression on her face, 'Just know that when you do learn about it later, then you have either already spent the most blissful time of your life, or you are about to experience it. Look forward to it, Melia.' … As Melia thought about those words, her face turned red, for some reason, when she heard 'most blissful time of your life' she started thinking about impure thoughts. And who could blame her? She lived inside [Core] where she would continuously hear Nux and his wives moans, and whenever she meets them after it, words like 'blissful', 'amazing', 'heaven', she hears them very often. In her mind, the meaning behind these words had already changed. 'Melia! What are you thinking!? Nux needs your help right now!' Suddenly, Melia shouted inwardly. She then shook her head to get these impure thoughts out of her mind and focused on Nux again. "Melia, what I am going to share with you right now, it is something you can never reveal to anyone, even your mother and father." "I have not revealed any of your secrets to them, Nux. You can trust me, I won't betray my Clanmate." Melia spoke with a determined look on her face. Nux, however, shook his head, "I am telling you this not because I see you as a Clanmate, Melia. I am telling you this because I see you as a lot more." He spoke as he tightened his grip around Melia's hands. "You see, the way I cultivate is different from others, I practice Dual Cultivation…" Nux started revealing the truth. The more he spoke, the wider Melia's eyes got, at first, she didn't believe what he said and thought that it was one of his playful pranks, however, seeing that absolute seriousness on Nux's face, she knew it wasn't a lie. An ability like that… It… It actually exists! "Y-You are saying that you g-grow stronger i-if you sleep with s-stronger women?" "That is correct." Nux nodded. "Th-then… does that mean that if you… sleep with Miliana… who cannot resist your orders… you will become a Great Sage?" Melia questioned with a shocked look on his face. "That is correct." Nux nodded again. "However, I do not sleep with a woman I do not love. For me, having sex with a woman means seeing her as my wife, I only do that with a woman I am absolutely sure about. The woman I love." "…" Melia didn't know what to say. Her mind was still thinking about his ability. Just what kind of ridiculous ability is that!? Let's not even talk about how Nux's cultivation grows as he has sex with a woman. T-To think he can even help a woman grow together with him! Doesn't that mean that if he selects 1000 random mortal women, they would all become Emperors after a certain while? And what if Nux gets stronger? A Great Sage, Semi Saint, Saint, or Divine Stage? Does that mean he is capable of having 1000 Divine Stage Cultivators by his side!? What kind of broke ability is that!? Melia's mind was in chaos. But then, 'I do not sleep with a woman I do not love.' Nux's words run inside her head. For some reason, her mind calmed down, but when she thought about the entire thing again, her expression changed, "S-So when y-you said you said t-that you need m-my help…?" Melia stuttered as her face turned completely red. "That is correct. I love you, Melia, Would you spend the rest of the night with me?" Nux questioned as he looked into Melia's crimson eyes. Melia's pale face now looked like a tomato. "W-W-What are you talking ab-about!?" She shouted as she lowered her head, trying to avoid Nux's eyes. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 "You know exactly what I am talking about, Melia. I do not wish to just keep playing around anymore. I want something actually substantial between us, I feel a connection when I am with you, I am sure you feel one as well. I wish to strengthen this connection, Melia." Nux spoke. This time, Melia stopped avoiding Nux's eyes, and with her head lowered, she glanced at, "Can I?" Nux questioned with a gentle smile on his face. "I-I too want to s-strengthen it…" Melia accepted.
