Chapter 712 He Is Not A Slave.
“Hey… who are they…?”
“Hmm? What? Uhh… I don’t know…” 𝒩𝑶𝓋𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t
“Most of them are humans and are King Stage Cultivators… Have we ordered a new batch of Human Slaves?”
“Hmm? A batch that is going to be delivered today… I haven’t received any report about that.”
Two guards who were defending the Gates started talking with each other when they noticed a large group of people walking towards them.
“Should we inform the Head Guard?”
One of the guards questioned,
“Let’s wait for a wh-”
The other was about to reply, however, before he could complete his sentence, his expression changed as he finally saw the person leading this group of people.
“T-That Lady A-Aisha, quick, inform the Queen.”
“What? Lady Aisha?”
The other guard’s expression changed as well.
He quickly glanced at the crown and saw the purple-haired beauty leading them with a smile on her face.
“It really is her…”
“What are you waiting for!? Go inform the Queen!”
The guard shouted, the other guard quickly came out of his reverie and rushed back.
The guard who was left quickly opened the gate and the moment Aisha reached him, he kneeled,
“Lady Aisha, I am glad that you are back from a safe journey.”
Aisha nodded with a solemn look on her face.
Then, she glanced at the people behind them for a while and,
“Arrange a housing for them to stay in.”
She ordered.
“As you command, Lady Aisha.”
The guard nodded, not daring to question her at all.
Aisha then turned towards Nux and spoke,
“You don’t have to worry about them now, they all can live in the Lust State from now on,”
Nux nodded with a slight smile on his face, “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it, I was the one who suggested it in the first pla-”
Aisha was about to reply, however, suddenly, Nux’s expression changed and he quickly pushed Aisha aside and blocked an incoming attack.
*BOOOM*
And, he was sent flying away.
“NUX!!”
Aisha couldn’t react to this at all.
Nux’s wives shouted in worry and quickly rushed towards him.
*Cough*
Nux coughed as he stood up and glanced at the woman in front of him.
“An Emperor dared to stand in front of me, now isn’t that interesting?”
The woman smiled playfully as she glanced at Nux.
However, as if she suddenly remembered something, she quickly started looking around, her eyes then fell on Aisha and she rushed towards her and…
Hugged her.
“You are finally back. I missed you~”
“Sister…”
Aisha finally realized.
Of course, she didn’t have the strength to say anything right now. With her Sister hugging her so tightly, she knew the best thing she could do right now was to just stand and wait for her sister to do whatever she was going to do.
This was not the first time this was happening anyways,
Aisha had already given up on resisting.
Her sister continued to hug her for the next minute,
“We have a lot to talk about, but before all that, answer me,
Are you alright?
Are you hurt?
You didn’t face any problems, did you?
Did anyone trouble you?
You need my help to deal with anyone?”
As she shot all these questions at her, Aisha’s sister continued to look all over her body, checking for any signs of any injuries.
This continued for the next few minutes and once she was absolutely sure that her sister was fine, Aisha’s sister finally backed off and smiled,
“It is good that you are fine.”
She then turned towards Maya and Varena and nodded,
“You two did a good job.”
“We are flattered, Lady Maline.”
Maya and Varena bowed.
Maline nodded her head, then suddenly, her expression changed,
“Wait…”
She turned towards Aisha again and,
“You are a Sage now.
But how? You still needed a few more decades to break through…
No wait… you are not alone, all of them are the same as well…
They all are a lot stronger than before as well.
Just what did you guys do?”
Maline questioned.
Hearing her question, Aisha laughed proudly,
“Hehe~”
“Answer my question already, don’t keep me waiting~” Maline pouted.
Right now, she looked like a little girl, no one would say that she was the same woman who effortlessly sent Nux flying before.
Maline’s features were similar to Aisha, purple hair, purple eyes, long ears, horns, and wings, the two of them looked similar, if Nux had to point out a difference, then… Maline’s face looked more… innocent?
She gave off a vibe of an airhead.
And honestly, one could see that from the way she was talking that she could very much be one.
Nux, however, knew that was not true,
He had sensed her strength when he exchanged a blow with her. This girl had a bloodthirsty aura around her, honestly, Nux is still having a hard time believing what he was seeing. This demon who attacked him like that was now… pouting cutely like that…
Nux didn’t know how to react.
Aisha smiled at her sister and then,
“I will tell everyone at the same time.”
“Alright then, let’s go, Big sister is waiting for you as well.”
“Mhm, I want to meet her as well.”
“Of course you do. You want to meet with everyone but me.”
Maline pouted.
“That’s not it.”
“You don’t even seem happy after meeting me.”
“…”
Aisha didn’t know how to reply. Her sister… she was definitely a drama queen.
“Shall we get going now?” Aisha questioned and Maline finally let go and nodded.
The two of them started walking away, Nux and the others didn’t follow, they turned towards the guards, waiting for them to show them where they would be staying for the next few days,
However,
“The guards will show them around, Nux, you all come with me.”
Aisha already knew he wouldn’t leave his wives alone, therefore, she invited them as well.
Felberta glanced at her son,
“Don’t worry, we will take care of him.”
Arvina, who was currently holding Felberta’s son’s hand spoke, Riona, who was standing behind her nodded.
“Don’t trouble the two of them, alright?”
Felberta glanced at her son and smiled,
“I am all grown up now, mother. I won’t.”
Felberta chuckled and nodded.
Then, Nux and his wives followed Maline and Aisha.
Maline found it weird, she had noticed the expression on her sister’s face when she glanced at this man, it was definitely weird,
Unable to contain her curiosity, she questioned,
“So? Who is this handsome Dude huh? You seem to care a lot about him, even inviting him inside the Mansion, eh?”
“Sister!”
Aisha shouted with a slight blush on her face.
Seeing that reaction, Maline raised her eyebrows in surprise, she then turned around and glanced at Nux, this time, a little more carefully,
She then smiled playfully and nodded,
“Hmm hmm, he is not bad, not bad at all…
If it wasn’t for his low cultivation, then even I would have been tempted to go after him.”
Maline spoke as she glanced at Nux as if she was looking at her food.
Nux narrowed his eyes.
Not liking her gaze one bit.
However, this woman was the sister of his benefactor, and she was stronger than him, he couldn’t do anything right now.
He only stared back at her in silence.
“Oh? A slave dares to look into my eyes, heh, amusing indeed.”
Maline chuckled, her purple eyes shined even more crazily as she glanced at Nux. Nux was about to reply, however, before he could,
“Sister, he is not a slave!”
Aisha was quick to correct her sister.
“Huh? He is not?”
Maline frowned.
“No, he is my friend.”
“A friend?”
Maline narrowed her eyes.
“A human with Black hair and Golden eyes… his face is definitely handsome enough… but I still can’t recall any prominent human family with these features… Is he not from any of the three Human Empires?”
“No, he is not. You have heard about the new continent right?”
“Hmm? The one that just suddenly appeared out of nowhere?”
“Yes, that one. He is the Ruler of that land.”
“Huh? An Emperor is the Ruler?”
“That continent is different from other continents, Sister, the Mana there was significantly sparse, in their thousands of years of history, they haven’t seen more than 10 Emperors alive at the same time.
Becoming an Emperor in those conditions is a big deal.”
“Hmmm, you seem to know awfully lot about that new continent?”
Suddenly, Maline pointed out, she then narrowed her eyes and the playful aura around her disappeared,
“Aisha, explain.
Why do you know so much about that continent?
Where did you meet him?
Why did you return far later than the decided time?
And where did you and your subordinates go?”
“Sister, as I said, I’ll tell you everything once we are inside the mansion.
Just know that he is not a Slave, he is a friend. A close friend.”
Maline glanced at her little sister for a while, she then glanced at Nux and then, she nodded,
“Alright, let’s go inside the mansion first.”
Nux, his wives, Aisha and Maline walked into the Mansion, Maya, Varena, and the other demons stayed behind and took the responsibility to help Nux’s people in settling.
If Nux had to describe the mansion, he would only have one word for it, dark.
Just like most of the mansions, this mansion was unnecessarily huge, Nux, however, was already used to huge buildings, what surprised him more was that, dark aura around the mansion. There was also this weird fragrance around the mansion, and most of the furniture seemed antique. There were servants walking around the mansion, Nux found it hard to digest that most servants here were Sages, a stage higher than him.
He knew he could defeat them, however, than didn’t make him any happier,
These were just servants, the one who deals with daily chores here.
The ones responsible for protection were different,
Nux could already sense some intimidating auras around him, demons who could defeat him without any problem, beings who could squat him as if he was an insect.
This mansion…
It was scary…
Nux wouldn’t lie, he was nervous and so were his wives.
However, unlike them, the two demons walking in front of them were completely carefree,
“Big Sister~ Look who decided to finally return~”
Maline shouted as she entered the Mansion and suddenly,
Nux’s expression changed.
‘W-When did she come here…?’
