Chapter 57: Queen of harem?
In the ancient history of underworld, Every child born to an underworld king was known to be a supreme being whose prowess exceeded the realm of so-called geniuses.
As the only child of the last underworld king, Nyx was an individual with no equals. In a mere thousand years, She surpassed the wives of her father or the queens of each race.
Therefore, Nyx had her pride and arrogance. Not only did She want to be queen of the underworld but also the queen of Yang Chen's harem.
Her eyes glazed down at Zhu Jia and the evil spirit. She seemed to think of something and a charismatic smile emerged on her face.
Just then, Zhu Jia raised her head and looked at the woman who stood in front of him.
"Angel…? No…are you a fallen angel…?"
She was amazed to see a fallen angel which she assumed to be a myth. Looking at her breathtaking smile, the anxiety in her heart couldn't be ease. Still, She maintained her guard and looked at Nyx with suspicious eyes.
"Who are you? What do you want?" She asked, raising her hands to her chest defensively.
"Who am I? I am Nyx and Yang Chen's wife".
"As for your first question, I am indeed a fallen angel"
Nyx replied to her patiently with a gentle expression. Yet, her elegant behavior and speech carried an authoritative charm.
"You are… Yang Chen's wife?" Zhu Jia muttered with confused eyes, while her heart was filled with fear, wondering what Nyx's motives were in bringing her into this place.
'Did she get angry at me for being intimate with her man?' As she thought of this, Zhu Jia looked at Nyx with a scared expression and backed away in fear.
'Who is Yang chen?'
'How... and when did he marry a fallen angel?'
'Just what did she see in that pervert?'
Zhu Jia's mind was filled with doubts. She seemed to have forgotten that she herself fell in love with Yang Chen.
"Zhu Jia,There's no need to be scared. I didn't bring you here to silence you. Yang Chen asked me to save you. That's why I brought you here." Nyx extended her hands, wanting her to get up from the ground.
"No…! I won't be fooled by your sweet words." Zhu Jia used her legs to move back. She didn't believe a stunning woman would be willing to share her man with others.
"Look, Little girl. If I wanted to do something to you, you wouldn't even notice it yourself" Nyx spoke while using her spectral energy to make Zhu Jia float in the air.
"Argghhh! Don't kill me. I won't get involved with Yang chen" Feeling her body going out of her control, she screamed loudly and at the end of sentence, her voice became a little aggrieved.
"Please…Huh?" her screams stopped as a mind-blowing scene took place right in front of her eyes.
After picking up Zhu Jia, Nyx snapped her fingers in style.
All of a sudden, the eerie, dark foggy surroundings vanished and Zhu Jia's mouth opened in shock as she looked at the magnificent castle in front of her.
....
Few minutes later, Inside the Nyx's castle, within the study, Zhu Jia looked at Nyx with curious eyes. Nyx poured tea in a cup and handed it to her elegantly. She grabbed the cup with a nervous face.
"So, you are okay with sharing Yang chen with another woman, Nyx?" She asked Nyx while taking a sip.
Nyx felt her heart hurt after hearing her words. She spent an hour patiently, trying to convince and make her calm down. Now, the first words that came out of Zhu Jia's mouth gave her emotional damage.
"Hmph! Do you think I want to?"
"Didn't you know what type of person he is?" Nyx chuckled in her heart and threw the blame on Yang chen.
"And for the record, I am probably older than your grandmother. What's with you calling me by my name?" Nyx looked at her with amusing eyes while taking a sip of tea.
"T-that…How do you want me to address me, then?" Zhu Jia asked stuttering, wondering whether her words offended her.
"Haha, I just asked for fun." Nyx laughed it off while waving her hand dismissingly after taking revenge for her emotional damage.
Zhu Jia's lips twitched speechlessly, finding her eccentric behavior similar to Yang Chen's.
"So, What do you want me to do?"
"Do you want to fuse with an evil spirit or erase its consciousness and absorb it?"
Nyx took another, and She asked despite knowing Zhu Jia wouldn't choose either of them. After living for a long time, She had no difficulty in figuring out a person's true nature, and She also told her about her situation during their chat before.
After all, Zhu Jia wasn't a child to simply believe her words with no credible information.
"Nyx, Before deciding, How about we hear it from the evil spirit?"
To be honest, Zhu Jia herself laughed at her stupidity. The evil spirit tried to steal her body. If it were someone, They would've wanted to kill it with their hands.
"Are there any reasons for you to do this?" Nyx asked with a puzzled face.
She couldn't believe that a normal human can contain a spirit which is in the realm of shadow acolyte and maintain their composure for so long.
It was one of two missing puzzles she needed to find a solution for them.
"I-I think It's probably because of my mom. She's a spiritualist" Zhu Jia answered what she had in her mind and her voice was laced with uncertainty.
'Interesting'
'Is that why you possessed her in a village filled with people?' Nyx mused inwardly, her eyes appeared to look deep into Zhu Jia's soul and Her lips curled with interest.
Within Zhu Jia consciousness, the Evil spirit observed the actions of Nyx cautiously. Although, She can't understand their language, She was puzzled after sensing no malicious intent from them.
Clap!
"Okay, Let's hear the evil spirit's story and for that, I have to enter your consciousness for a while" Nyx placed the empty cup on the table and clapped her hands as they came to a conclusion.
"M-my consciousness…?" Zhu Jia had a weird look on her face. Before she could speak further, Nyx used her system talent to turn into soul particles and entered her consciousness.
