1096 Help me
"My Path, my Law, my future actions, everything is just a blur in my head, So please guide me.
Please let me follow a straight path you crave out for me till I am capable of walking on my own."
Nux spoke with a solemn look on his face as he bowed his head.
Hearing his words, even his wives were surprised. Nux was someone who was extremely arrogant, even when the enemy was strong, the only thing they saw in Nux's eyes was the absolute confidence of going against the enemy and beating the shit out of him.
Of course, there were moments when he was scared, there were times when he even trembled in front of beings whose strength he couldn't fathom, however, even then, he never lowered himself like he was doing today.
Today... Nux's words felt... heavy...
It was as if he was burdened by something.
Something he didn't reveal to them, Something he always hid behind that confident smile of his.
And they weren't wrong.
After meeting Vyriana, Nux often found himself walking on an uncertain path, sure, he greatly overwhelmed the opponents he met on his path, however, every time he did that and then noticed Vyriana's gaze, he felt the same uncertainty again.
He tried to hide it because he had no words to explain it, he just thought it was him being wary of the absurdly strong woman that he coincidently met, however,
After witnessing Vyriana's fight with those Complete Divine Stage Cultivators, he finally realized, he finally understood what that strange feeling of uncertainty was.
It was his instincts.
His instincts were constantly warning him that the path ahead was split into two ways and if he continued the way he was doing, he would have walked into the wrong path.
His instincts were trying to tell him to slow down.
And fortunately, he stopped before it was too late.
Lady Vyriana, she was the only one who could take him to the second path, Nux was sure about it when he saw how she practically toyed with cultivators, who, theoretically, should be as strong as her.
Nux desperately needed Vyriana's help and the moment he understood that, he bowed his head and asked for her help.
"That is quite a huge favor you are asking for, don't you think?"
"I was told that I was quite shameless."
Nux replied.
"I was told that I was not a complaisant person," Vyriana replied.
"What will I get in return if I decide to help you?" she questioned.
"An opponent."
Nux's answer was quick.
He had been thinking about this for a long time now and if there was one thing Nux was good at, it was talking, especially if the person standing on the other end was a woman.
If someone like him has prepared for a conversation beforehand,
Not many people could get out of his web of words.
"An opponent?" Vyriana raised her eyebrow in confusion.
"That is correct. I saw it when Lady Vyriana was fighting those cultivators, that look on your face, it was quite similar to the look I saw in Star's eyes when I first met her.
Well, yours was more apparent while Star was still able to hide it to some extent.
It was almost as if you were too unbothered to hide it."
"What are you talking about?" Vyriana asked directly.
"Boredom."
"..." Vyriana didn't say anything, it was Nux's signal to continue.
"You looked bored when you fought those cultivators.
'Haah... I thought they would be able to make me use some of my powers, but guess my expectations were too high...'
This was what you were thinking.
So-"
"That's wrong."
Before Nux could continue, Vyriana
interrupted. Nux glanced at her and she clarified,
"I never expected anything, the result was clear the moment I sensed them."
Vyriana was as arrogant as ever.
"..."
Nux momentarily turned silent as he stared at the woman in front of him. Then, however, he shook his head and smiled,
"But you were still bored, weren't you?
'Haah... another bunch of weaklings, will I ever face someone who can actually challenge me?'
You must be thinking something along these lines, correct?"
By now, Vyriana understood what Nux was trying to hint at, a playful smile appeared on her face, and,
"Not entirely correct, but not wrong either."
"Well then, if you help me out, I will become the 'someone who can challenge you.'
How about it?
You help me get strong, I help you relieve your boredom,
It is not a bad deal, now is it?" Nux spoke with a confident smile on your face.
"No matter how I think about it, this deal is more beneficial to you and it is not a small advantage either, it is to the point where one would think that I am being made a fool of, and I do not like that feeling."
"Hmmm."
Nux paused.
He didn't really wish to use this card since he knew it wouldn't end well for him later, however, he didn't have much choice.
Lady Vyriana seemed to enjoy putting him in difficult situations and seeing his reaction.
Anyways, after thinking another way for a while and failing, Nux sighed inwardly and threw the bait,
"How about I pay the rest of it back once I surpass you and become someone who is capable of solving the matters you think are problematic? I promise it won't take long."
The moment these words left Nux's mouth, a strange silence fell over the place.
It was as if even the wind had stopped moving and absolute silence fell over the place.
Gulp
Nux and his wives gulped.
A small smile crept up on Vyriana's face and, "Did you just say you will surpass me?"
she questioned.
Nux felt goosebumps all over his body, he, however, didn't let anything show in his expression and, "I did. Surpassing people who think I could never catch up to them, I have been doing it ever since I stepped into the Cultivation world.
I firmly believe this time wouldn't be any different either.
Of course, that is if Lady Vyriana is willing to personally guide me without holding back,
But if Lady Vyriana is scared of testing it out..."
Nux had balls of steel.
*********
Yes, Yes, I will start with an apology. I didn't upload for 13 days, I am sorry.
I was hospitalized because I got terribly sick, I was released a week ago.
Yes, I was in condition to start the book a week ago, but whenever I started writing, I felt stuck.
I was sure it wasn't because I was sick since I could write my other novel but for SHGS, even writing 500 words took an hour, only for me to delete those 500 words again.
I think I was burnt out, I had written 1000 chapters without a major break, and considering it was my first novel, I think it was too much.
Anyway, I took a short break, a much-needed break I would say.
I tried writing today and boom, words came out so easily that I felt great.
I will be restarting regular updates.
I owe you 26 chapters for these last 30 days.
So let's round it up to 30.
I'll do two 15-chapter mass releases.
But I do not have any chapters with me right now, so it will take a while.
The first Mass release would be before the end of this month and the next mass release would be in the next month.
Please be patient with me and show your support like you always have been.
Thank you, and I promise I will be regular from now on.
To the next straight, uninterrupted 1000 chapters! Yay!
