---- Chapter 3163 Nyx pursed her lips. "No way! I already have a man." Knox replied smugly, "I knew you wouldn''t be into me, but that''s fine. The Hignd Tribe doesn''t prohibit polygamy, especially for the higher-ups like the elders and generals. They usually have three wives. Me? I''m marrying Mr. Fernsby''s daughter as my main wife. "Then in a couple of years, I''ll marry a few prettydies from the Wastnds to keep my bed warm! Better yet, I''ll go to Holtrien with Andrew. I''ll find a couple of beauties there and bring them back too.
That sounds amazing." Nyx snorted dismissively in disdain. Andrew, however, asked, "The Hignd Tribe actually allows multiple wives?" Knox replied, "Of course! Mr. Femsby himself has three wives!" Andrew thought for a moment before grabbing Knox''s hand. Then, he said seriously. "Knox, I need to ask you a favor. Ask Chief Wieser if I can join the Hignd Tribe." Knox looked puzzled. "What are you trying to do? Do you want multiple wives too?" ---- Andrew answered with a straight face, "Multiple wives aren''t the important part.
The main point is that I admire the men of the Hignd Tribe because they were responsible, considerate, full of justice, and able to help more gooddies find a happy home. Knox froze, then burst outughing. Nyx''s face flushed red as she red furiously at Andrew. Andrew put on an innocent expression and said, "Come on, Nyx, it was just a joke. Are you taking it seriously?" Nyx sneered. "That joke wasn''t funny at all." Knox said, "You should be grateful. A stunning beauty like Nyx is one ina million.
Let me put it this way: if I had to choose, I''d rather have one Nyx than any other woman. One of her is worth ten thousand others!" Andrew chuckled. "Well, what if I told you I have plenty like her?" Knox was stunned. "Are you serious? Are you really that lucky?" Andrew smirked and walked away. Some bragging was fine if it was done lightly. If he pushed it too far and Knox figured him out, the young man would probably lose sleep from envy. The next day, Andrew and Nyx headed to the Deands once more. ---- Thisnd of death seemed forever unchanged.
The radiation clouds in the sky were always there, dark and heavy, suffocating everything beneath them. At the end of the in, inside that massive rift. The deep blue glow had never changed, dreamy and unreal. They stood by the abyss, while the shifting light below reflected on their faces, sometimes dark and sometimes bright. Nyx said softly, "Let''s go back. I wonder what Mr. Lloyd Senior is going through inside The Veiled Paradise right now." Andrew had checked every location thoroughly. He discovered that the entrance to The Veiled Paradise seemed to have never existed at all.
Perhaps to reenter, they would need to gather powerhouses from all sides and use overwhelming force to open it again. Right now, the people around Andrew clearly did not have the ability to reopen the passage. Andrew said, "Nyx, don''t worry. Trust him; he''ll be fine. Once we get back to Holtrien and I improve my strength further and settle old scores, we''lle back here, open the entrance, and investigate properly." Nyx nodded. "That''s all we can do. Andrew, let''s head back." ---- The two turned and started walking upward.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and the eternal abyss continued emitting its ghostly glow. Suddenly, the light in the abyss began flickering. Andrew sensed something and immediately spun around. Nyx turned as well. They saw a figure d entirely in ck battle armor, bathed in radiance, slowly rising from the abyss. Nyx gasped, "It''s Arya!" Andrew was also deeply shocked. The current Arya waspletely different from the one he knew. The difference was night and day. However, what made Andrew and Nyx even more rmed came next.
A towering pir of blood-red light followed Arya, rising from the abyss. This blood-red light was immensely vast, shooting straight into the sky. Even the radiation clouds above had to make way for it. Within the blood-red light, a tall woman in a crimson gown, wearing a crown, slowly floated upward. ---- When her blood-red eyes casually opened and swept toward Andrew and the others, Andrew felt his heart jolt violently. A tidal surge of dread rose inside him as he realized this woman was impossible to defeat. ''Who... is she?'' he wondered.
