Chapter 188 How Will You Repay The Favour?

"Well, actually, I am not planning to call the King."

"Heeh? Do you have any other plans?" Nux questioned with a smile.

"No, I do not have any other plans as well," Amaya answered and Kelton panicked.

What!? Lady Amaya was out of plans!?

AD

When has this happened before!?

And why is she so calm!?

"Hmm, then why aren't you scared for your life?" Nux questioned.

Then, a smile appeared on Amaya's face as she answered,

"I just believe that you are not here to kill me."

"Hmm? Why do you think so?"

"Well, what are you wasting so much time for then? C'mon, do it. Kill me." Amaya chuckled.

AD

"..."

Nux blinked a few times, then, he chuckled as well.

"You are right, I am not here to kill you."

Then, he removed the dagger from Kelton's neck and stepped back.

Kelton sighed in relief as he rubbed his neck.

He won't deny it, he was scared.

Very scared.

However, now things were better.

"So what are you here for?" Amaya questioned.

Nux smiled, then suddenly, he disappeared and appeared in front of Kelton, with one chop, the man's body fell to the floor, unconscious.

Then, Nux turned toward Amaya with the same smile on his face.

Amaya raised her eyebrow at his actions, a sigh then escaped her mouth as she muttered, "You weren't lying when you said that he won't be able to buy time."

AD

She didn't look very shocked for some reason, she was rather calm.

"I never lie," Nux answered.

"So? What do you want to talk about?" Amaya questioned again.

"I want to talk about your curse or to be more precise,

I want to talk about your Physique."

Amaya's eyes widened in surprise, this was the second time that she had shown a reaction, the first being when Nux directly appeared in front of her.

"How do you know about my Physique?" Amaya questioned as she narrowed her eyes.

Even the king did not know about this, he just treated this as a curse and was finding a cure for a curse that doesn't even exist in the first place.

Nux just smiled as he answered,

"I suggest you do not underestimate me, Amaya.

Treat me as if I am special."

Amaya narrowed her eyes even more.

She glanced at Nux's golden eyes and for some reason, she got lost in them.

Soon, however, she came out of her reverie and took a deep breath as she calmed herself.

"So? What do you want to talk about my physique?"

After she calmed herself, Amaya questioned.

AD

"Is your Physique the reason why you cannot cultivate?" Nux questioned back.

"…"

Amaya stayed silent as she observed Nux. She knew she shouldn't share something like this with someone she met just a few minutes ago, however, for some reason; her instincts told her to answer this person.

'Whatever, it's not like nothing would change if I told him.'

With that thought in her mind, she nodded.

"Yes, you are correct; there is no curse on me.

Everything is because of my physique. I cannot use a normal cultivation technique to cultivate Mana.

I could do it at first however, breaking through mortal limits and becoming a beginner stage cultivator is a complex process, I need a proper technique to do it."

"And what about the belief that you cannot be touched?" Nux questioned.

AD

Instead of answering Nux's question, Amaya picked up a dagger and slit her finger.

Nux's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw Black Mist coming out of her wound, it was only 3 seconds later did the Mist disappeared and blood came out.Please visit 𝘧𝗿𝚎e𝓌𝗲𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝗲𝒍. c𝐨𝗺

"That is because of my physique as well, I do not know much, but I have this Black Mist inside my body and this Mist has poisonous properties.

If a mortal as much as touches this Mist, he will die a gruesome death.

A cultivator isn't spared either.

When the king was 'testing' if the 'curse' was real or not, he used an Advance Stage Cultivator, however, the moment the head of his thing touched my special spot, the poison corroded his body and he passed out.

1 month later, he died and Black Mist came out of his body.

The King of course was scared; he knew that even if he could resist the curse with his cultivation, it will have some effect on him, which he won't allow no matter what."

Amaya answered.

She had noticed that for some reason, she was talking more than she normally does.

She soon realized that the reason might be because she wanted to talk to someone as equal.

She has been in this Royal Palace for 10 years, most people ghosted her and as for the members of the Thousand Information Chamber, they treated her with the utmost respect.

She doesn't have any friends, she doesn't have anyone to talk to and she lived like this for 10 years.

No matter how smart or intelligent she was, in the end, she was still a 23-year-old woman who has been living alone since she was 13.

Nux was the first one who talked with her as an equal, that was the reason why she talked so much.

AD

Of course, this was all her thoughts, if Nux knew about it, he would just shrug.

'Naahh, I am just too handsome, you are charmed by my appearance, that's the reason why you talking more than normal.'

That's what he would have answered.

"So what you are saying is that as long as you have a suitable cultivation technique, the 'curse' will be lifted?" Nux questioned.

"Yes. Although there is no proof, I am sure that once I become a Beginner stage cultivator and start controlling Mana, I will be able to control this Mist as well."

"How are you so sure?"

"I just know it." Amaya had no specific answer.

And Nux understood that since he could relate to it.

His Abilities are like that as well.

Somehow, he just knows how it works.

AD

Amaya's Black Mist must be similar as well.

Suddenly, a small smile appeared on Nux's face as he questioned.

"So, Amaya, what if I give you a Cultivation Technique that is suitable for you? How will you repay the favour?"
