"What do you think they would choose?"

Astaria observed Amaya's expression and blinked a few times.

She then glanced at Nux, even without forming a telepathic connection with her, Nux could still read her expression,

'Just where did you find this demon?'

Seeing this, a proud smile appeared on Nux's face, he then walked towards Amaya and patted her head,

"See? I told you, didn't I? All my wives are amazing women."

"I believe you, your wives are indeed amazing."

Astaria nodded.

"So? Do you wish to joi-" Nux was about to shoot his shot again, but this time, Astaria had already read him.

"No."

"Y-You could have at least let me complete my sentence…"

"…" Astaria stared at Nux with a blank look on his face.

"Do you really wish to fight the Solid Earth Army with just you 4 alone? Don't forget, it may only look like they have 3 Generals in their ranks, but in truth, Herms has used his influence to recruit more King Stage Cultivators in his army.

In truth, they have 7 King Stage Cultivators in their rank. Even if 1 one of them is somehow your subordinate, it would still be a 5v6 battle, not to mention more than 20,000 soldiers behind those 6 King Stage Cultivators."

Astaria spoke.

"Don't worry, I can deal with them."

Nux assured again.

"You seem quite confident in your ability."

Astaria commented.

"Well, I am strong after all," Nux spoke as if it was a fact.

"Are you sure it is not overconfidence?" Astaria narrowed her eyes.

A smile appeared on Nux's face and he replied,

"My belief in my ability is strong, people often misjudge it as overconfidence, but I can assure you, it is not.

I do not do anything I am not sure about."

Nux smiled.

Astaria however, was still not sure, she knew Nux was strong, stronger than all the King Stage Cultivators she has ever seen, however, in the end, he was still too young.

After gaining that much strength at a young age, it is normal for him to get arrogant.

However, a war is not something one can look down upon.

It is not just a matter of defeating the opponent in front of you, you also have to think about others who might try to attack you from behind, there are chances that you will be surrounded by enemies, there will be a time when you will even run out of Mana, not to mention the allies, you have to look after and support your allies as well.

All in all, participating in a war is not an easy task.

Especially for someone like Nux.

Therefore, after careful consideration, a plan formed in Astaria's mind. 𝚏𝑟𝘦𝒆𝙬𝑒𝗯n𝙤v𝐞l.co𝘮

"Alright, I will allow you to go to the Woods Dynasty, however, I have a condition."

"What is it?"

"Pass my test."

"Huh? A test?"

"Yes. You say you are stronger than a normal King Stage Cultivator, correct?" Astaria questioned.

"I am." Nux nodded.

"I need to see how strong you are with my own eyes, therefore, you need to give a test. If your performance is satisfactory, I will allow you to go to the Woods Dynasty, however, if I find your performance lacking, you will listen to what I say and will take more people with you."

Astaria proposed.

"Alright, I will accept your deal."

A playful smile then appeared on Nux's face as he continued,

"This will also allow me to show off my skills in front of you.

Fufufu~ look forward to being impressed."

"Heh, we will see about that."

Astaria laughed as well.

"Alright, 1 month, the test will be held 30 days later, before that, you can help your wife to deal with the spies."

"Huh? 30 days is too long, we don't have that much time, hold the test 3 days later," Nux replied.

"3 days?" Astaria frowned.

"Yeah, the thing with the Spies won't take much time anyway. 3 days are more than enough."

"…"

Astaria didn't know what to say.

Three days he says…

If dealing with all the spies inside the Kingdom was that easy, the Royal Family wouldn't have been troubled by this for so long.

Even if he has Amaya, the Leader of the Thousand Information Chamber with her, dealing with all the spies in 3 days is…

Simply impossible.

'Oh well, it is not like the test will take much time. I am sure he can take some time out.'

Astaria thought inwardly and nodded.

"Alright then, 3 days it is."

A big smile then appeared on Astaria's face,

"Be prepared, boy."

"Heh, be prepared to be surprised as well."

Nux smiled back.

The two of them looked into each other's eyes for well, and then, Evane stepped in.

"Nux, we should go, it has been an hour, Kelton must be waiting with the Shadow Unit."

Nux turned towards Evane and nodded,

"Heh, to think I would finally meet the famed Shadow Unit."

"Even I am looking forward to seeing the Skyfall Kingdom's trump cards." Ember smiled.

Although Amaya didn't say anything, from her bright expression, Nux was sure that even she was looking forward to it.

Thyra was the same, others, however, didn't seem to be too excited.

They were rather neutral.

Nux smiled, he then turned towards Astaria and bowed his head,

"Then we will be taking our leave, Lady Astaria~"

"I wish you luck." Astaria smiled back.

Nux and his wives then turned around and left the room.

Once the room was empty, Astaria sighed,

"Monster…"

She muttered to herself.

_{𝑓r𝘦𝘦𝘄eb𝒏𝙤vel.c𝙤𝙢}

"Ability to increase his cultivation by having sex, huh…

Absurd indeed."

'11 Emperor Stage Cultivators is much more efficient.'

Suddenly, Nux's words rang inside Astaria's mind and she clenched her fists.

"Shameless bastard. I need to teach him a lesson. He needs to learn how to respect his elders."

Arvina spoke and suddenly,

'Preferring to be seen as an aged woman by others…'

Nux's words rang into her mind again.

"Ugghhh! He is annoying."

Astaria narrowed her eyes.
