1051 I'll catch both fishes at the sa ti.
"Oh? Both my mother-in-law and Future mother-in-law are here
This is quite a surprise
What brings the two of you here?"
A playful tone was heard.
Both Ambrosia and Lyriana were taken aback, even though they were talking to each other and weren't really paying attention to their surroundings, for soone to appear right in front of them without them realizing, that was quite strange.
Both of them turned to where the voice ca from and their eyes fell on a handso black-haired, golden-eyed boy standing in front of them with a slight smile on his face.
"What did you say?"
Lyriana narrowed her eyes as she questioned.
"Hmm? I asked what brings the two of you here." Nux replied.
"That is not what I was talking about.
You called Future Mother-in-law."
"Huh? I did?" Nux frowned.
"..."
"..."
Lyriana and Nux stared at each other for a while.
Then, Lyriana spoke up,
"No matter who you are, if you want to woo my daughter, you need to win her heart, I have no say in my daughter's marriage. She is independent to choose whoever she likes."
Lyriana made her intentions clear.
Honestly, she didn't mind Nux being her son-in-law, what mother would? Nux was talented, had a bright future in front of him, and had a face that was pleasing to the eye, he was a good choice, however, for Lyriana, no matter how perfect the man was,
If her daughter didn't like him, she wouldn't care.
Lyriana trusted her daughter enough to know that she would make the right decision.
"Don't worry, I won't be making the sa mistake again."
Suddenly, Nux shook his head.
"Mistake?" Lyriana frowned in confusion.
"If you go solely after the smaller fish, you miss the chance of getting the bigger fish because of emotional issues, therefore, this ti, I will be catching both the fishes at the sa ti."
Nux replied as he looked into Lyriana's crystal blue eyes with a playful look on his face.
"What...?"
Lyriana, of course, had no idea what this man was talking about.
'Do all geniuses have a screw loose in their head or sothing?'
She wondered in her head.
Ambrosia, on the other hand, could feel a different vibe from Nux than normal. She felt like so of his words were intended for her, however, right now, even she couldn't completely understand what this son-in-law of hers was talking about.
And honestly, she didn't care. Her mind was already occupied with sothing else.
"You broke through..." She comnted as she observed Nux intently.
"Hahaha~ Of course I did, I have been away for like, what? 2 years? 2 years are more than enough for to break through."
Nux replied with a confident look on his face.
"Breaking through the Great Sage in 2 years."
Ambrosia knew Nux was insanely talented, this was proven when this monster completely skipped the Sage stage and jumped into to the Great Sage in just 2 months.
But to think he would actually continue this insane speed and beco a Semi Saint...
Ambrosia couldn't believe that this was the sa little Emperor she had seen a few years ago.
'Just what kind of insane talent is this...'
Ambrosia couldn't help but wonder.
"Anyways, Mother-in-law, what brings you here?" Nux questioned.
"Are you saying I cannot co here?"
"What are you talking about, Mother-in-law? I'd actually prefer you stay here forever, how lovely it would be if I could see your face whenever I want, no?"
"You talk quite sweet for soone who didn't co visit even once these past 2 years. It was almost as if you forgot about ."
Ambrosia answered.
"I apologize for that, Mother-in-law, you see, I was actually quite a bit busy for these past 2 years. Preparing for Breakthrough was much more complicated than I thought.
Actually I was in a completely different place for these 2 years and have only returned right now. It is pretty lucky that I got to see you two as soon as I returned.
Guess this can be called Fate.
There is definitely so connection between us.
What do you think, Lady Lyriana?"
Nux questioned.
"I already cleared it, did I not? I have no say in who my daughter marries, if you are trying to woo her, go to her.
Also, one advice, my daughter does not like n hitting around the bush like this, be direct with her, and your chances of succeeding will increase."
Lyriana replied, her tone was quite similar to lia's, the only difference between them was that lia's tone was more on the emotionless side, while Lyriana's tone was a bit cold.
As for whether it was arrogance or just the way she talked, from what Nux could tell after keeping an eye on this woman while she was talking with Ambrosia, he would say it was the latter one.
But again, only ti would tell the reveal the complete truth.
Not to ntion he was intending to change that tone anyway.
Thinking about it a smile anneared on Nux's face
He didn't know whether it was his Incubus Blood affecting us, or whether it was just his personal greed, what he did know was that his goals were getting bolder and bolder.
Nux glanced at Lyriana for a while, then, he just smiled.
"Thank you for your tips, Lady Lyriana. I would like to talk more about this in the future, maybe you can give a few more tips about your likes and dislikes, that way, that would make things much simpler."
"Actually, I would like to talk to you personally as well, and I would prefer if we could talk right now."
"Oh?" Nux tilted his head with a curious smile on his face.
"Hey, are you two just going to single out? Nux, I didn't think you would treat your dear mother-in-law like that."
Ambrosia pouted.
Nux didn't know what to say.
He glanced at Lyriana, who was staring at him, then he looked back at Ambrosia, who was smiling at him, Nux didn't have to talk to her to realize what she was thinking about, her smile gave it away.
'What are you going to do now?'
Nux was one hundred percent sure that that was what Ambrosia was thinking about. She was waiting to see how Nux would react right now.
Who would he choose?
His mother-in-law or his future mother-in-law?
Him getting stuck in this situation, Nux was sure that his dear mother-in-law was enjoying this.
In the end, Nux just sighed.
"Why don't the three of us do it together?"
He questioned.
"Huh?"
"What?"
The two mothers raised their eyebrows.
"I don't really mind it," Nux shrugged.
The two won stared at him with strange looks on their faces. Seeing their expressions, Nux couldn't help but smile.
Of course, he wasn't a naïve fool, he knew exactly what he was talking about. He knew what his words could possibly an, he just said them because he wanted to see how these two won would react.
And he was satisfied.
First was Ambrosia, a woman who always had an emotionally overpowering presence, seeing such an expression on her face was fun, as for Lyriana, well, any expression on her cold face was fun to see.
"Please co inside, you two.
Let's continue this in a room."
Nux spoke as he welcod the two won into his clan. Lyriana and Ambrosia glanced at each other and continued to stare at each other for a while. It was as if the two of them were communicating through their eyes. A minute later, the two nodded, then, they followed Nux.
...
Inside the 'private room', Nux sat in front of the two mothers with a smile on his face and,
"Now, let's stop delaying this matter any further, shall we? As much as I like being in the presence of you two beautiful won,
I am getting rather curious."
"Have you heard about the Devil?"
Lyriana finally dropped the bomb.
Ever since they ca here, Nux had been playing gas to emotionally manipulate them, talking about different things to redirect their attention to sowhere else, he did the sa thing before as he called her Mother-in-law, to divert her attention from his Cultivation Stage.
Even now, he was attempting to do the sa thing by saying words that could be easily misinterpreted into different things.
And Lyriana wasn't planning on falling for the sa trick twice, therefore, she decided to be direct and take over the flow of the conversation.
"The Devil? Of course I have. I doubt there would be anyone who hadn't heard about him." Nux replied. There was no change in his expression.
"Didn't you say that you just returned? How did you hear about him?"
Lyriana questioned.
"Well, he got quite popular, didn't he?
He did defeat the Seven Heroes at the sa ti, after all.
It is quite a big achievent."
"..."
Lyriana stared at Nux.
Nux smiled.
Then, Lyriana sighed,
"Alright Nux,
Let's stop these gas,
I'll ask my question directly,
How did you turn into an Incubus?"
