"Don't worry; I wasn't planning to let you go without compensating me with your body"
Felberta smirked as she rolled on top of Nux.
She might be a little mud-headed when Nux was still there with her, but last month when Nux left to go to the Blood Hills Wilderness, she thought about it with a clear mind and deduced that the change in Nux's behaviour wasn't natural.
He was fooling her.
The revelation wasn't exactly a joyful one for her. Being tricked by someone you love isn't a very good feeling and Felberta felt sad about it.
But after thinking about it a little more, she realized that Nux didn't want to harm her, on the contrary, she benefitted a lot while being in a relationship with him.
If Nux wanted, he could have left her after she outlived her use, but he did not. Not only that, he even helped her become an Advance Stage cultivator.
