Just say the word

"If you really want me to stop, just say the word and I will.

Just say, 'I do not like you Nux. You and I, can't happen. So stop harassing me.'

Just say these words with the utmost serious expression and I would step back."

Nux spoke with a small smile on his face.

This time, however, Astaria realized that he wasn't joking at all.

Rather, he was the most serious he has ever been.

And she was right.

If Astaria says those words right now, Nux would step back and stop wooing her.

He would act just like he has been acting with Arvina.

'Hello Teacher Arvina, I hope you have been well.'

Nothing more.

He would treat her just like he would treat any normal teacher, or how one would treat an elder.

Even Nux had his pride after all.

Going after women who had already rejected him wasn't something he would do.

As for how he would become an Emperor Stage Cultivator?

Well, he would think of something later.
