Chapter 455 - Prey Preying on Predator (Part-3)

"Huh! What the hell? You proposed to her like this, you are the most unromantic person I have ever seen."

Ryuu looked towards Su-Min as he spoke, "What are talking about? I was planning to for proposing her sometime now and I did it what is wrong with it."

Su-Min looked as if she was physically struck as she shouted out, "What is wrong? Everything is wrong, for proposing you need a place, the mood, the ambience not like this after having such a battle with you covered in blood it is not nice."

Ryuu narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Frost has yet to voice her complains Su-Min, if she wants I would propose to her in any way she would want to."

All eyes fell on blushing Frost Flames who spoke rather shyly, "There is nothing wrong in his way, I like it, and I would love to be your Dao companion."

Ryuu smiled at Frost Flames before shooting a triumphant grin towards Su-Min, who simply grumbled about people without proper aesthetics, but the duo paid no mind to it as they basked in each other's embrace, while Amnon, Daniella and Frozen Ocean simply smiled at them offering their congratulations.

But, amongst the group were two who were having a rather tense situation, the two were namely Zywia and True-Spear, since entering the Eden they were the first two to fall for each other, and in fact, Zywia helped Frost Flames a lot to pursue Ryuu, yet even after so much time has passed True-Spear has yet to propose her like Ryuu, as such he was on the receiving end of the death glare.

True-Spear in the meantime wanted to curl up in the corner and cry, 'Why brother Ryuu, why I thought you were an understanding brother then why did you suddenly propose my sister before I did Zywia, now she is giving me a death glare, oh wait a minute if I also propose her now.'

With that wonderful idea in mind he turned towards Zywia and as he tried to propose by kneeling in front of her, her death glare increased a thousand folds, he could practically hear her teeth grinding but before he could open her mouth Zywia hissed loudly, "Shut up and don't steal my brother and your sister's moment from them."

Thoroughly chastised True-Spear could only lower his head only for Su-Min to speak out loud, "Oh my, is brother True-Spear is also going to propose Zywia."

Only for Zywia to reply with a giggle, "No way, he simply got emotional on seeing his sister getting proposed not to mention I would like him to propose me in a different manner as copying is bad."

Ryuu nodded in acknowledgement as he spoke, "You right sister Zywia, copying is bad so brother please do not copy my superior style you have to make do with something subpar."

Zywia simply smiled at his words, but the smile send a chill down Ryuu's back and all of a sudden he felt pity for True-Spear as he hurriedly spoke, "Though if you want an advice, do so when you feel the moment is right and your heart agrees with you."

Daniella simply smiled as she replied back, "Now if that is not romantic than I do not know what is romantic at all."

Frozen Ocean smiled warmly at the situation though she felt her heart squeeze a bit but she controlled herself while watching the situation with warm eyes.

Meanwhile, Su-Min huffed as she spoke. "So then what should we do with the Wyvern and that bird?"

True-Spear appreciated the change in the topic as he quickly spoke, "The bird was killed by Ryuu so it is for him to decide what to do with it, as for the wyvern we can split it equally."

Many nodded in agreement as Ryuu spoke, "Well I do not know about others but for the nucleus or the essence of the wyvern I remove my claim and vote for either of them to be given to brother True-Spear he was the one to dive, search and force it out of the lava pool."

Amnon nodded at that as he spoke, "I agree with brother Ryuu, but now the most important matter how are we going to celebrate the momentous occasion."

Daniella nodded with a large grin on her face, "Of course this calls for celebrations, let us …"

Only for Frozen Ocean to intervene her speaking further with a serious expression on her face, "Stop, stop.", as her tone managed to draw attention to her she quickly spoke, "Since this is celebrating Ryuu proposing Frost and her accepting his proposal, is it not weird for them to be here helping us to prepare for the celebration."

Su-Min quickly nodded as she added her two cents, "You are absolutely correct sister why are you two here now shoo, and we will call you after everything is prepared."

Both Frost Flames and Ryuu looked ready to protest only to be prevented by Zywia, "They are absolutely correct so please stay far away from the camp for at least a few hours."

Frost Flames looked helplessly towards Ryuu who simply shrugged as he replied back, "Let them be, we are outnumbered."

The duo soon left as the others quickly left to recruit a few more to help them to prepare the celebration of the moment.

Meanwhile, back in Ayindril Nuwa was an extremely busy woman, she had been going in and out to procure ingredients for the celebratory dinner for Ryuu, although she was being helped by others namely her children she was one picky woman, even after bringing the highest quality of ingredients the chance of her selecting from them was none, and even a small spot on the ingredient would cause her to reject it.

Veena looked at the number of ingredients her daughters had procured and upon seeing the pile of rejected items made her brow twitch as she spoke, "Sister are you not doing too much, this are exotic and rare ingredients not to mention the rejected pile that is rising up, please control yourself."

Nuwa shook her head as she spoke, "That we cannot do, there is a little over a year for Ryuu to appear out of Eden if we do not start preparing it would be too late."

"The second Mother is right, we have to prepare for Ryuu's heroic return."

Veena raised one of her delicate eyebrows as she spoke, "So what are you doing here Antariskh, I do not think that you would need to be here."

"Nonsense mother, my job is the most important one after all I am the official tester what if something goes wrong."

Veena deadpanned towards Antariskh as she spoke, "I would have clearly sympathized with your motives if it were not for the drool leaking from your chin, wipe it out it is unbecoming of a lady."

Veena sighed as she replied, "You know that brother .."

Nuwa raised her hand as she spoke, "Maybe so but home-cooked food is different."

Veena gave a defeated sigh as she spoke, "Fine I give up, though if you need anything please feel free to ask."

She turned to leave only to be greeted by her remaining children as she spoke with a stoic visage, "What are you two doing here?"

Shamiran blushed as she spoke, "Well I was going to be the official taster to help the second mother."

Sylvana cleared her throat as she spoke, "Well actually we all are going to be the official tester."

"I see", with that Veena turned towards Nuwa as she spoke, "Sister do you need all three tasters just now."

Nuwa shook her head as she spoke, "Of course not, we need none but they forcefully volunteered, not to mention we have yet to start preparing anything."

Veena closed her eyes momentarily as she spoke, "I see, now come along you three no slacking.", with that she dragged all of her children off as they shouted out in protested, while Nuwa smiled at their antics.

"Children, they never learn.", Nuwa's smile disappeared as her husband's voice came to her ears, she turned to face him as Maheswara spoke while puffing up his chest, "Do not worry I will be here as your official taster."

Nuwa simply sighed as she shook her head as she spoke, "We have yet to start preparing, not to mention only a few things would need near about a year to cook perfectly."

Maheswara shrugged as he spoke, "But you will be preparing those right now, right?"

As Nuwa nodded a large smile broke into Maheswara's face as he spoke, "Splendid that is more than enough for me, I could watch you work your magic sitting in a corner day after day."

Nuwa blushed as she spoke shyly, "Is that why the first sister dragged our daughters from here?"

Maheswara gave a coy smile as he spoke, "Maybe."

"Then please sit in a corner and do not disturb."

Maheswara raised his hand in mock surrender as he spoke with a wide eye, "Of course not, how could I commit such blasphemy.", with his piece said he took a seat at the corner as he watched Nuwa finishing her preparations with a smile on her face.

'Thank you, Ryuu, for returning the smile on my Nuwa, no on my family's faces I do not know how I could repay you, maybe after you return from that place I will take you to somewhere nice, hmm so many ideas.'
