Chapter 1331 I will give you 10 years.
"You asked for some time and I generously gave you enough,
Are you ready for our bet now?"
Lilith questioned with her usual seductive smile on her face.
"Lady Lili-"
"No, he is not."
Nux wanted to reply, however, before he could say anything, Vyriana stepped in front of him and spoke up, looking into Lilith's eyes with a defying look on her face.
Seeing her attitude, Lilith couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"For some reason, I and Nux have not been communicating enough, therefore, I wasn't informed about the bet the two of you had made until recently." Vyriana explained the situation. Her explanation, however, didn't lessen the Progenitor's frown, rather, her confusion only deepened even further.
"I fail to understand how that matters here," Lilith spoke.
Seeing her reaction, Vyriana frowned as well.
It was as if she was thinking, 'How come she doesn't understand something so simple?'
Heck, the Dragon even looked at the Progenitor with a doubtful look on her face thinking that Lilith was trying to act ignorant. Of course, she wasn't planning on letting her continue her game, she clarified her words even further,
"As I said, I wasn't informed about the bet, so it cannot be considered anymore.
The bet is void."
Vyriana declared. Nux wanted to stop her, after all, too much was on the line in the situation, Vyriana however, simply glared at him, silencing him without even saying a simple word. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
The meaning behind her actions was clear.
Let me deal with this and you stay out of this.
Now Nux wasn't the type to let things like these happen if he didn't want them to, this time, however, the one doing it was Vyriana. He had no choice but to agree.
He couldn't possibly offend his Dragon now, could he?
Yes, he was a Simp, kill him.
Lilith, of course, wasn't letting a mere Divine Stage Cultivator walk over her, she continued her questioning,
"I still do not understand where your presence is required here. The bet is not about you, it is about Nux, you have no right to decide things for him."
The Dragon, however, didn't back down,
"As a matter of fact, I do have the right to make decisions in his stead.
He is mine."
She declared confidently.
Lilith narrowed her eyes, and Vyriana, whose confident face flushed ever so slightly as she understood the meaning behind her words, was quick to reframe her sentence,
"He is my student. I was given the responsibility to guide his progress throughout his journey. Therefore, a bet that would have a significant effect on his mind, which would definitely affect his future journey, cannot be made without my presence.
Thus, the bet can only be voided."
In their eyes, it was no different than a mere coin. If these beings wanted, they could grand Primordial Level Bloodline to more than a hundred thousand people, and it still wouldn't bother them in the slightest.
The only reason they weren't doing this and raising a strong army was because...
They were lazy.
These beings just couldn't be bothered because, in the end, they knew the truth, in front of the real enemies, the otherworlders, the beings who simply relied on their Bloodline to get stronger would be crushed in an instant. So they only award the exceptional ones with the Blood, hoping they can put it to good use.
Anyway, with all said and done, giving out Primordial Blood was not a big deal for the Progenitors, and Vyriana knew it.
"If you are still dissatisfied, then I can call my Master, we can continue our discussion in front of her."
Vyriana spoke, showing the Saphira's Scale to Lilith, ready to summon her. Lilith narrowed her eyes. Of course, she wasn't scared of Saphira, however, things would definitely get much more troublesome if that woman was involved.
Faustina already knew about the bet, if more Progenitors were involved, then sensing her interest in Nux, those bastards would definitely try to make a mess out of the situation just so they could annoy her.
Lilith also knew that she wasn't the only Progenitor who was after Nux, the boy had managed to attract the attention of most female Progenitors, so although they weren't actively trying to do anything right now, knowing that she was making her moves, they would definitely create more and more problems.
The Succubus Progenitor wanted to end this as silently as possible so that she could take the most out of it.
Therefore,
"What do you want?"
She questioned as she looked into the Dragon's eyes.
Of course, this didn't mean Vyriana had won.
"And don't even think about calling off the bet, that will not happen. Call your Master if you're dissatisfied."
"There is no need to call off the bet. I just ask for time."
"Time for what."
"I want him to form his Law before entering the Illusion, that way, his defenses would be much stronger, lessening the chances of his being permanently affected by the illusion."
Vyriana spoke and Lilith just shrugged.
In her eyes, forming Law or not didn't matter. Nux's strength didn't matter in this situation, in Lilith's eyes, he was still a boy who was extremely weak.
A small addition to an already small number wouldn't change anything.
"How much time do you need?"
Lilith questioned.
"100 years."
Vyriana suggested, ready to grab Nux and start another training montage. Lilith however, poured cold water on her dreams.
"Don't push it, Dragon.
I will give you 10 years.
Do the best you can."
Saying those words, Lilith disappeared and this time, the bet was fixed. Nothing Vyriana or anyone else says would change anything now.
