Chapter 717 What Can I Say, I Am Just A Selfish Jerk.

Eisheth observed Nux a little more carefully and suddenly, her expression changed.

"Hara-kiri?"

She muttered with a surprised look on her face.

"Harakiri? What is that?"

Nux frowned in confusion.

He glanced at his wives and they were all confused as well.

Aisha, Maline, and Rislith, however, were different.

They just widened their eyes in horror as they glanced at him.

"Hara-kiri? What? Really?"

Aisha spoke up.

"Mother, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Rislith questioned as well.

"You think I would make a mistake like that?"

"…"

Rislith turned silent.

She then turned towards Nux and questioned,

"Why would you do something so stupid?"

"I don't even know what you guys are talking about. Don't just speak some random words and then act like it is something big. It is annoying. Explain it to me first,

What is Hara-kiri?"

"Hara-kiri means suicide."

"Suicide?" Nux frowned.

"Yes, the cultivation path you have chosen, it is a called Suicide Path, because it literally 'kills' your potential.

Hence the name, Hara-kiri."

"My Cultivation path…"

"Yes, idiotically deciding to focus on both, Body and Mana Cultivation,

Who do you think you are?

The Seven Heroes?"

Rislith spoke, but then suddenly,

Aisha's expression changed.

"Wait Nux…"

She called out, with an expression so pale that rather than a succubus, she looked like a vampire,

"D-D-Didn't you say you were only… 22 years old…?"

"WHAT!?"

Rislith screamed in disbelief.

Maline was the same.

Eisheth on the other hand, didn't think about anything and directly extended her hand to grab Nux's hand.

Her speed wasn't particularly fast, Nux could see her movements very clearly, however, before he could react to those movements, Eisheth had already grabbed his hand.

'W-What just happened?'

Nux thought inwardly, surprised and confused, Eisheth, however, just completely ignored his confusion, she injected her Mana inside Nux's body, and a few seconds later,

Her eyes widened.

"Y-You are just 23 years old…

You fucking monster…"

She muttered with a dumbfounded look on her face.

Maline, Rislith, and Aisha widened their eyes in horror.

A 23-Year-old Emperor Stage Mana and Body Cultivator!!

What kind of monstority was this!?

"M-Mother…"

Suddenly, Rislith called out.

"W-was there someone like him… amongst the S-Seven Heroes…?"

A wry smile appeared on Eisheth's face as she replied,

"The youngest out of the Seven Heroes to become an Emperor was the Hero of the Dragons, he became an Emperor at the age of 145…"

"S-So his talent…"

"Yes… it far surpasses that of the Seven Heroes…"

Eisheth completed her daughter's sentence as she glanced at Nux, her eyes showing the clear disbelief she was feeling.

Seeing her expression, for some reason, Nux's sadistic side, which he believed he had controlled and hidden well, emerged again.

With a playful smile on his face, he spoke,

"What? Did you really think I would after the Succubus Queen without having anything to back myself up?

How can any random man pursue someone like you, Queen Eisheth?"

"Boy, I think I already warned you, didn't I?

Don't play with me, be grateful that I am controlling myself right now, if I lose control, I will steal you away from your wives, and trust me, you or your wives wouldn't be able to do anything about it."

Eisheth smiled.

"No, no, now that won't do. I love my wives a lot you know. I can't allow you to take them away from me."

Nux shook his head.

"Oh? Do you really love them so much?"

"Of course,"

Nux replied without any hesitation.

"Heeh? I am jealous."

Eisheth chuckled.

"Hmm? Why be jealous? You can always be one of them, what's stopping you?" Nux chuckled.

Hearing those words, Aisha, who was standing right beside Nux quickly jumped in,

"N-Nux! What are you even talking about!? Didn't I tell you already!? Stop flirting with my mother! Also, don't you want a woman who is o-only loyal to you!? Do you even know how many Consorts my mother has? The number is in 1000s! You think you can make her leave all of them!?"

Aisha questioned, doing her best to break this weird connection that was forming up between the man she was pursuing and her mother.

She finally understood what Amaya was feeling. She cursed her past self for laughing at her.

"Hmmmmm? Choosing a handsome, entertaining, playful, confident and insanely talented human male over so many dull and bland consorts huh… hmmmmm,

It is not a bad offer…"

To Aisha's horror, Eisheth muttered as she glanced at Nux with a playful look on her face.

Nux smiled as well.

"As I said, I am never backing out, Queen Eisheth. The moment you agree would be the moment I would be yours."

Aisha didn't know how to react.

This was happening!

This was actually happening!

She had to stop it!!

However, she was completely helpless!

"Alright."

Then, Eisheth agreed.

Aisha, Maline, and Rislith widened their eyes, Nux on the other hand, just smiled,

But then,

"However,

I have a condition."

"And that is?"

"Since I am leaving all my consorts for you,

You need to leave your wives for me as well.

It needs to be a fair deal, doesn't it?

If I am being only yours, then you need to be mine and mine alone, don't you?"

Eisheth smiled and suddenly, Nux laughed out loud.

"I admit, you got me there."

Saying those words, he stepped back.

The answer was clear.

He didn't even have to think.

Eisheth expected that. Their bond, she could already sense it.

"Expecting me to become yours while not being mine, how selfish."

Eisheth pouted playfully.

"What can I say, I am just a selfish jerk."

"I can see that."

Eisheth nodded.

Nux smiled,

"Also, I don't exactly hate that.

A man needs to be selfish. However, you are still a little too young for me, boy."

"Mhm, I understand,

You are a little too old for me as well."

Nux nodded.

Hearing his words, Eisheth's face twitched.

"Has anyone ever told you how you are annoying?"

"Many have, yes." Nux nodded.

"They all were right."

Nux just smiled.

"Especially this smile of yours. It is especially annoying."
