Chapter 538 L Plead Guilty.

"Nux, what was that move?"

Ember questioned with a serious look on her face.

Hearing this question, Nux's face turned serious.

"Alright, you all catch up with each other, I will be taking my leave now. Nux, don't overwork yourself, you look fine right now, but just to be sure, take rest for the next few days."

Suddenly, Astaria spoke and then turned around.

"Huh? Lady Astaria, where are you going? Do you not care what happens to me?"

Nux dramatically sad expression appeared on Nux's face.

"That's not it, you know Nux, Lady Astaria was just as worried for you as we were, she has been staying in this room for the last 2 days waiting for you to wake up, and just like us, she didn't even eat anything."

Skyla spoke with a small smile on her face.

Others may not know what she was trying to do, Nux, however, knew about it perfectly well.

A small smile appeared on his face as he thanked her inside her heart,

'Skyla, how can you get more and more lovelier with each passing day? Just how is this possible?'

Nux then glanced at Astaria and smiled teasingly,

"Oh? Lady Astaria, I didn't know you cared so much about me."

"Don't be ridiculous. I was only here because I had nothing else to do." Astaria replied with an expressionless face.

At the same time, she momentarily glanced at Astaria.

Nobody knew what she was thinking.

Nux, of course, wasn't planning to leave this golden opportunity this easily.

"You may say that, but I know you care about me deep in your heart, and your actions just proved that."

"Keep dreaming." Astaria snorted.

"If this is a dream, I wish to never wake up~"

"W-Whatever. I am going now."

Astaria turned around.

"If you stayed here for the whole 2 days, then why would you leave now?" Nux questioned.

"As I said, I was only here because I didn't have anything else to do, but now I do, so I need to leave," Astaria replied.

"Oh? Are you telling me that you are not interested in the technique that a King Stage Cultivator used to make the strongest person in the world, an Emperor Stage Cultivator, puke out blood?" Nux questioned teasingly.

He was sure that Astaria's inner warrior wouldn't be able to control herself.

"Nux."

Suddenly, Astaria called out.

"Hmm?" Nux tilted his head in confusion.

"That move is your trump card, your wives are okay, but you should not share your trump card with others, it can bite you back in the future."

"…"

Nux turned silently.

He finally realized why Astaria was so adamant about leaving.

'So that's what she was worried about.

Heh, she is surprisingly cute~'

Nux smiled inwardly, then, he glanced at Astaria and spoke,

"Do you think I would have used that move in front of you if I didn't trust you?"

"Huh?"

Astaria frowned.

"Lady Astaria, in my eyes, you are just like my wives."

"H-HUH!?"

Astaria's face turned bright red as she glared at Nux in anger. If he wasn't lying on the bed right now, she would have punched this shameless bastard.

Nux smiled at her reaction then changed his words,

"I mean, I trust you just like I trust them. I know for sure that you won't betray me. I mean, what would you get from betraying an insignificant King Stage Cultivator like me."

"…"

Astaria turned silent.

Nux's smile widened and he continued,

"Also, this technique is not my actual trump card."

"W-What?"

Astaria's expression changed as she narrowed her eyes,

"Were you holding back?"

"Huh? Of course not.

You already know about my trump card, don't you?" Nux smiled teasingly as he glanced at all his women before turning towards Astaria.

Astaria realized what this body was talking about, and seeing him smiling like that, her mouth twitched.

"I am taking my leave, I am not interested in that useless technique of yours!"

Saying that, Astaria walked away.

However, before she actually left, she stopped, and without turning around, she spoke,

"Meet me when you have completely recovered, I need to talk to you about something."

Then, she walked away.

Nux just smiled.

Seeing him act like that, Evane frowned,

"You are really enjoying this, aren't you?"

"I plead guilty."

Nux raised his hands and smiled.

"I feel like I have seen this scene before."

Suddenly, Thyra, who was sitting next to Nux muttered as she glanced at Ember.

Ember's face turned red.

​ "I looked as defenseless as she is looking right now huh…" She realized.

"It was quite fun to watch actually, seeing you act so strong even though I knew how you would end up."

Thyra smiled teasingly.

"…"

Ember didn't know what to say.

She was embarrassed.

"Hehe~ Don't act like you were any better."

Suddenly, Skyla chuckled.

Thyra's face turned red as well.

Skyla then placed her hands on her waist and stood up with a prideful look on her face,

"Hehe~ As your senior, I have seen how every single one of you was defeated shamefully. Fufufu~"

"Haah? Since when were you the senior most? Did you forget your place?" Felberta snorted.

"Oh c'mon Sister Fel, didn't we fall at the same time? Where is your comradery? Don't be so selfish. Me you and Sister Lane are the Senior Most." Skyla waved her hand.

"Comradery my ass, I was the First Wife, don't try to change it." Felberta didn't step back.

"Haahh… Sister Fel, you are too selfish~"

Skyla shook her head and sighed.

Felberta's mouth twitched, she wanted to reply, however,

"Nux, you still haven't told us about your new ability."

Ember jumped in and asked about a more serious topic.

Other women's expressions changed as well.

They wanted to know what Nux was hiding.

Nux has been training himself for a while now, they didn't ask about his new abilities since they thought he was keeping it a secret.

However, if any of his ability hurts him like before, they had to know all about it.

Nux's face then turned serious and he started explaining.

"I now have 3 new abilities…"
