Lord Of Succubi:Transmigrated As A Dual Cultivator In Isekai Of Magic

Chapter 221 221 Must be proactive!

"The gates were open?" the tension was still thick in his voice; "Like actually open?"

She nodded.

"I don't think the castle's on lock down anymore. The gates were open, and the guards looked too relaxed to be guarding against harm. Maybe lady Russel worked out some kind of deal with the state. . ."

Nexus' hand let of the fork.

Slowly, he leaned further back down- reclining against the chair behind. 

Each eyeball twitched in mini spasms- tweaking and tweaking as his mind raced to and fro.

Mrs. Russell was no fool. 

If she was indeed playing house- then the blonde dragon was up to something.

It was either that, or Stacy's words had actually worked wonders on stopping Fitch.

His nostrils puckered slightly- as he heaved a sigh of relief. He crossed his arms across his chest, breathing slowly.

'So,' he thought to himself; 'I guess acting like a master somehow paid off. . .heaven knows how long this will hold Fitch off. . .'

The answer was glaring.

NOT LONG.

Soon enough, Fitch would remember his dead son, and his dick would get hard for vengeance. He had to prepare.

"Well?" his dry mouth pattered aloud; "What else did you find out?"

Her eager mouth parted at the hinges- opening the way for a stretch of short, quick sentences.

"My lord. . .I don't think this is quite over yet. . .in my experience, once a human sets out on a quest for revenge, it never ends well. . ."

Nexus nodded- silently egging her on with his eyes.

". . .I spent many years in the wilderness- ducking and dodging this kind of men. So, if I may be so bold. . .I would like to say this my lord–"

She paused again, shuffling her feet under the table;

"–I don't think this attack will stop. . . in fact, whatever temporary peace they think they have, will not last long. The Howards are like a pack of rabid dogs. The only way to put an end to their rage is to PUT AN END TO THEIR RAGE."

The wooden chair creaked slightly under the shifting weight.

Nexus' chest collapsed- exhaling once again in a deep breath. He loosed his hands and reached for the jar of clear water;

"What are you saying Crsytal?" he poured it into the ceramic mug; "You want me to fight?"

"It's not my place to tell my master what to do–" she looked him in the eye as he gulped down the spring water; "–but if I were to advise, I would say you should hit them first. And hit them hard."

The refreshing liquid gurgled down his throat in big gulps. Sighing, he brought the mug down.

"You might be right," he knew she was; "But this isn't my fight. . .the Lady Russell clearly told me not to get involved. . ."

"She did my lord, she did," her eyes narrowed; "But she didn't say anything about me not getting invovled."

"What?" he spat.

"You can use me master! No one would ever see it coming. The Russell family is only a family in name! They're only just three women! No armies, no men, no wealth! Lord Fitch will certainly come for them. . .

"And he will scorch the earth!"

Her eyes- blazing with enthusiasm, glared at Nexus intensively. On the table, both her palms curled into fists- trembling and twitching.

Nexus did not utter a word.

Her words shot through him with violent bursts of electric current. She was right! He knew she was right! Playing defense wasn't working. It had almost gotten Selina killed.

shit.

The drums of war began to sound in his head- rising steadily to the rhythm of his own beating heart- and riding on the heels of the blood rushing to his head.

shit.

Both his lips pressed up against each other- mentally drawing up the image of what a battle would look like;

'Flying sword. . .heavenly flame. . .mana orb. . .' he recounted; 'Shit, I forgot about my paper runes!'

His eyes slowly lit up- pushing away the clouds of doubt- bringing in a raging confidence.

'Damn, how come I never thought about taking the fight to them?! All my cards are excellent! I actually have a great hand. . .'

It wasn't just all the cool weapons. He had Crystal- and her three minutes S-rank time bomb. He he had Selina- and her wicked Ice Sword. They were all upgraded- and itching for a fight! 

Shit, even HE was itching for a fight!

"CRYSTAL YOU GENIUS!!!"

He exclaimed- leaping to his feet- and reaching towards her for a kiss.

On Selina's face, a rich bloom of bright red colored up her cheeks. Nexus' head arched low, all the way to her seated form- and planted his lips on hers. 

plop!

Instantly, her previously serious eyes brightened up- twinkling like two lanterns. The reddish pink on her rosy cheeks flushed with reckless abandon. The succubus- blushing like a schoolgirl on her first date, lowered her head- avoiding Nexus' gaze entirely.

"My lord, I'm sorry. . ."

Nexus- still in front of her, lowered himself onto the table, gazing at her with stars in his eyes;

"Sorry?!" he beamed; "Crystal my dear, you've got nothing to be sorry for you beautiful genius!"

"M'lord, you don't understand," her face brightened at his compliments; ". . .after last night, I don't think I have any more space in my body for your–"

She paused;

"–for your cum. . .my stomach is still full. . .and it will take a pretty long time for me to full digest this load. . ."

She touched her stomach- stroking it like a pregnant woman. 

Nexus' eyebrows shot up- curving at the corners.

Noting his surprise, she quickly added;

". . .but if my lord is still horny, I can satisfy you in other ways–"

"Crystal," he chuckled- folding his arms across his chest; "What on earth are you talking about? I'm not thinking about sleeping with you, at least, not right now anyways."

She raised her head;

"But–" she stuttered; "But you kissed me, I thought maybe–"

With amusement in his eyes, Nexus' head arched all the way back- loosed his jaw, and jerked his shoulders- laughing deliriously. In peals of laughter, he cuckooed till his gyrating shoulders bounced up and down in sporadic vibrations.

"Oh Crystal," he sputtered in between giggles, staring at her in amusement; "That was not a kiss of want- not at all!"

The succubus' eyes widened. Surprise cruised through her eyes in twitches;

"It wasn't?" she asked innocently.

"NO!" Nexus affirmed; "It's just something humans do whenever they're having an eureka moment- especially when they're around someone they care about."

"Eu-re-ka moment?"

"Yeah. You know, like when you say or do something that sparks up a brilliant idea. And you get caught up in the moment, so you kiss the person."

He watched as her eyes slowly narrow- letting the new information sink into her.

"It's just another way to express affection," he reached for the mug behind him; "It's very common among humans who care about each other. . ."

He drew a long sip- downing huge gulps as he stared at her over the mug's ridge;

"Wow, you've really never been in love huh?"

She shook her head- slowly, with a dreamy look in her eyes.
