Chapter 1292 Oh? Someone seems jealous.


    "Is your mother single?"


    Nux questioned with a dazed look on his face as he nced at the woman standing in front of him.


    This was his first time meeting the ''monster'' Vulpiana was talking about.


    Fara Dawnshade, the woman who had put him into a situation where he had started questioning his decision.


    Just like Vulpiana, Fara was a Fox kin as well, she had inherited all the charms of a Fox kin that a cultured man like Nux could wish for and unlike Vulpiana, this woman had a total of Nine Tails! Thatbined with her blue Fox Ears, long Blue hairs that matched those hairs, golden eyes that seemed to pierce through the world, and the motherly charm that only made her even more desirable.


    *Picture*


    Of course, saying that Nux was impressed was a major understatement, honestly, he was already d that he was able to hold back his inner simp.


    "What…?"


    On the other hand, Vulpiana was confused. She felt like she had heard wrong.


    Fara, however, didn''t doubt her ears,


    "I am quite curious, Nux Leander. Why would you want to know about my personnel rtions?" She questioned with a yful smile on her face.


    "Lady Fara, please stop using weird artifacts to distort your voice," Nux pleaded.


    Since Fara wasn''t using any Artifact, Nux could finally hear her real voice and just as one would expect, it was a positive service to his ears.


    Fara tilted her head in curiousness, she couldn''t believe how drastically the boy''s attitude had changed. It couldn''t help but make her wonder,


    ''Is my appearance that unthreatening?''


    If before, she could sense Nux''s nervousness when she met him, none of it could be seen now. "What makes you think that this is my real voice and the previous one you heard was not?" She questioned.


    "Unless that appearance of yours is fake as well, I highly doubt that is the case." It didn''t take long for Nux toe up with an answer.


    "Is that so...?"


    Fara nodded.


    Vulpiana, on the other hand, didn''t like the direction this conversation was headed in and decided to jump in,


    "Are you trying to flirt with my mother? That too, right in front of me?"


    Nux blinked in surprise at Vulpiana''s outburst. Fara, on the other hand, simply observed everything with a curious look on her face, wanting to see how Nux would tackle the situation.


    Nuxughed out loud, "V-Vulpiana, what are you talking about? How can I possibly flirt with Lady Fara? I am simplyplimenting her appearance."


    "Last I checked, that is what''s flirting called."


    "You got that wrong, Vulpiana. It is called appreciating." Nux then stepped towards Vulpiana, getting close to her in a way where her head would only be 3 cm away from his chest, Vulpiana was forced to lift her head to look into Nux''s eyes and, Nux smiled,


    "Flirting would be stepping close, looking right into the other person''s eyes,"


    Nux then held her hands,


    "Holding their hands and then saying,


    You look lovely."


    Vulpiana couldn''t help but stare at Nux in a daze, however, a few momentster, when she finally realized what just happened, she jumped back in surprise and created distance between the two.


    "See? The two are clearly very different."


    Nux spoke with a smile.


    Then suddenly,


    "You are quite bold, Nux Leander. It is honestly quite different from how you acted when we first met."


    Fara spoke as she looked right into Nux''s eyes.


    Although the woman was smiling, Nux could feel a strange sense of danger from that smile.


    Right now, however, things are different than before.


    His ns had changed.


    The boundaries between an enemy and a friend were fading away in his mind as he started thinking about an entirely different approach to the problem.


    He nced at the woman and,


    "I was simply trying to exin the difference between the two things to my friend, Lady Fara, as I mentioned before, our friendship is a little… different than normal.


    I will apologize if I offended you with my actions."


    "Are you trying to put me on the bad side here?"


    Fara questioned with a yful look on her face.


    "Of course not, I would never do that, Lady Fara."


    Nux replied.


    Vulpiana narrowed her eyes as she saw the expression on Nux''s face.


    Right now, she wanted nothing more than for him to leave this ce, however, seeing the expression on her mother''s face, it was clear that it would take a good while before that was going to happen.


    "Alright then, how about we stop all this and formally introduce ourselves once more?"


    Fara suggested.


    "My name is Nux Leander, Leader of the ExceedoGenesis n and I am d I got the chance to meet you, Lady Fara," Nux spoke as he then bowed his head.


    "I am Fara Dawnshade, your friend''s mother. It is pleasant to meet you as well."


    Fara chuckled as she introduced herself as well. Then, she started with a question,


    "So? How did you and my daughter meet? And how did your friendship start?"


    Nux momentarily nced at Vulpiana and chuckled,


    "The two of us fought against each other and I managed to impress her during our fight, that is how our friendship began."


    "Right, I remember it was a 1 v 7, with you against the Seven Heroes of Yrniel.


    I was actually quite surprised when I found out that you were the Devil."


    Fara replied.


    Obviously, the answers the two were sharing were all fabricated, it was just a strange game Nux and Fara were ying, there were no rules, no winner or loser, it was just the way for the two to probe each other,


    Or, in all honestly, a way for Fara to probe Nux while the boy continued to converse with her while trying to burn the sight in his mind.


    "Hahaha, I have heard that quite a lot."


    Nuxughed, the fake conversation continued and Vulpiana, who had turned into nothing but a third wheel couldn''t feel more annoyed and frustrated.


    At first, she tried to shut off her ears and ignore everything she was hearing, but as more and more time passed, and hearing just how ridiculous the conversation that was nothing but a pile of lies had continued for, she couldn''t take it anymore and,


    "Ah, Nux, didn''t you tell me that you had something to do? Your wife Amaya actually told me to remind you that you needed to return in an hour, you have already spent 45 minutes here, shouldn''t you get going by now?


    After all, you wouldn''t want to make her angry, now would you? I remember you telling me how scary she gets when she is angry."


    Vulpiana chuckled at her joke and Nux, who turned towards her could easily understand what she was trying to do.


    He momentarily nced at Fara, then, he stared into Vulpiana''s eyes and facepalmed,


    "I can''t believe I forgot about it."


    He then turned towards Fara and,


    "Lady Fara, it was a delight to meet you, but as you heard, I need to take my leave now."


    "Of course, you shouldn''t make your wife wait for you, in most cases, it doesn''t end well." Fara chuckled as she then continued,


    "Wait, let me show you the way."


    Saying those words, the woman waved her hand and suddenly, a door opened in front of door.


    Nux let out a fakeugh, he wasn''t surprised by the woman''s ability anymore, he had gotten used to it,


    He simply nodded in thanks and then, he nced at Vulpiana,


    "You shoulde visit me soon and this time, soon means soon, don''t ditch me like you did this time, okay? That would make me sad."


    Saying those words, he stepped into the doors Fara had created for him, and in an instant, he stepped out in front of the Dawnshade House Gates.


    "To think she would show be the doors, that was quite cold, especially considering how wonderful our conversation went."


    Nuxmented sarcastically before he opened a Portal of his own and returned.


    …


    On the other side, the moment Nux left, Fara turned toward her daughter, and,


    "Would you look at that? He said that you ditching him would make him sad. How adorable. It was quite rude of you to send him away with a lie."


    "Please Mother, stop it now. I have already been through this torture for thest 45 minutes." Vulpiana wasn''t nning on continuing this foolish game anymore.


    Fara just chuckled and as if her smiling at her misery offended her, Vulpiana spoke further,


    "Also, I believe the mission you gave me would be a lot easier if you do it. Did you even look at his expression when he saw you? You would seduce him in an instant. Why bother making me do it?"


    "Oh? Someone seems jealous."


    Fara however, didn''t seem to be offended and only teased her daughter even further.


    "I am not jealous.


    I am simply annoyed."


    Vulpiana snorted before she decided it was all too much for her and returned to her room.
