Supreme Harem God System
chapter-1448

1448 Progress.

Knock Knock

"Yes?"

Hearing the knock on the door, Aeliana called out.

"Lady Aeliana, your disciple, Nux Leander wishes to see you."

The servant reported in a respectful tone.

Hearing those words, a light smile appeared on Aeliana's face. Noticing that she had formed a barrier that stopped any direct teleportation to her office, she realized that Nux was unable to directly come here.

"Tell him to wait for a while, I will summon him." She ordered.

"As you command, Lady Aeliana."

The servant outside the room bowed his head and walked away.

"Look at you, your entire mood changed the moment you heard his name."

Inside the room, a woman with beautiful blue eyes smiled playfully as she noticed the change in Aeliana's expression.

"Lady Faustina is thinking too much." Aeliana shook her head. Then, as she glanced at the Human Progenitor, she questioned, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Are you that impatient to meet your disciple?" Faustina questioned.

How could she not sense that this woman was not trying to kick him out?

"That is not the case, Lady Faustina. I was already expecting his arrival, it is your arrival that took me by surprise."

"Oh? Are you saying I am the one coming between the two of you?"

"..."

Aeliana just stared at Faustina with a deadpan look on her face and,

"Please stop joking around, Lady Faustina, he might actually need my help with something."

"Yes yes, I get it, he is your disciple, so he is your priority now." Faustina sighed, acting hurt, however, seeing as to how Aeliana wasn't reacting to her teasing, she just shook her head in boredom.

Soon, however, as she continued to stare at Aeliana, her expression turned serious and, "You do realize that the energy that child uses doesn't belong to Yrniel, correct?"

"I know." Aeliana nodded.

She wasn't surprised that Faustina noticed that. With how protective the Progenitors were when it came to her, she knew they would keep an eye on Nux. It was only a matter of time before they notice his Essence.

"Have you tried looking into his background?" Faustina questioned.

"There is no need to talk in a roundabout manner, Lady Faustina. Nux is not an enemy, he is not connected to the enemy. The source of his energy is something out of Yrniel, it might even be a world far stronger than ours, however, Nux is someone trustworthy, he will never harm Yrniel."

"How can you be sure about this?" Faustina questioned. It wasn't that she didn't trust Aeliana, she knew how capable the woman was, she simply wanted to understand what Aeliana was thinking.

"You can trust me on that, Lady Faustina." Aeliana assured, then, a mysterious smile appeared on her face and, "You can trust him. Actually, in a parallel world where you are close to him, you might even trust him more than anyone in this world, doing things for him that surprise even you."

"What?" Faustina tilted her head in confusion. Aeliana, however, just chuckled, not explaining any further. Then, she stood up and, "Anyways, since Lady Faustina has nothing more to say, I hope you allow me to have a chat with my disciple now."

Understanding the meaning behind the Vampire's gestures, Faustina pouted once again, "I can't believe I am being kicked out by my Aeliana..." the Progenitor wiped her fake tears, Aeliana obviously wasn't fooled. She simply stared as the Progenitor, with a wave of her hand, teleported away from the office where teleportation was 'restricted'.

With Faustina gone, Aeliana quickly summoned Nux.

"Who were you talking you?" Nux questioned with a curious look on his face.

"Your mother," Aeliana replied and Nux nodded in understanding. His relationship with Faustina in this world wasn't as good as in the real world.

Nux missed talking to his mother, however, he just shook his head as he stopped thinking about all that and walked behind Aeliana's chairs, gently massaging her shoulders.

"You look exhausted, Master."

"Managing the entire organization isn't exactly easy, you know?" Aeliana replied, closing her eyes as she enjoyed her disciple's massage. It was a 'moment of weakness' that Aeliana of the past would never show to anyone.

"I would have just left all the responsibility on someone else and ditched the place." Nux joked.

"What else do you think I am keeping you around for?"

"..." Nux didn't know how to react.

Aeliana chuckled at his silence, then, she started at Nux and,

"How's your progress?"

"My progress with the Zenith Flow is smooth, I just have to recall everything I did in my past life, the progress is slower compared to the past since Vyriana isn't here with me, but I am managing everything just fine. Not to mention I have more time on my hands, so that helps as well."

Nux explained.

Aeliana nodded in understanding.

"What about the System? Have you made any progress with it?" she questioned.

"I did. With my control over Essence improved, upgraded all my system abilities to 10 Star."

"That was already expected."

"I also found how the System Shop works."

"Hmm?" This time, Aeliana's curiosity was piqued. She shifted her body, pressed her back onto the chair and placed her legs on the table in front of her.

Understanding what she wanted, Nux shook his head as he sighed, then, he walked towards the table and sat on it. Picking the Vampire's legs, he placed them on his lap and started massaging them.

Aeliana smiled in satisfaction, Nux, on the other hand, couldn't help but recall their conversation a few years ago, 'Tsk, asking me to massage your legs, how shameless.'

'Haah? Shameless? I am giving you a chance to earn good karma. Not to mention serving your master gives you mental peace, so stop complaining and get to work.'

'Yea yea...'

Nux could only sigh.

"So? What did you find out?" Noticing that Nux was lost in his thoughts, Aeliana questioned.

Nux, who came out of his reverie, answered her question.

"The Shop is connected to an independent space that exists somewhere in the universe. If I can find the coordinates of that space and form a similar connection to it as the one system has, I would have complete access to the shop. All the weapons, artifacts, skills, techniques, and everything available in the System Shop would be mine.

And who knows? If I successfully found that space, I can also meet or get close to the creator of the system."

"Have you made any progress in that?"

"I understand how to form a connection similar to the system's with that space, however, locating that space is something much more complicated. I don't think it is something I can find even if my mastery over Essence improves." Nux wasn't sure.

It was much more complicated than he expected.

"What if I give you access to a completely different space? Can you form a connection with it?"

"Hmm? How would that help?" Nux frowned.

"I just wish to know."

"I believe I can." Nux nodded. "Though I would still need Dawnshade House since I don't know how to directly access the space yet."

"Yet..." Aeliana rolled her eyes.

"You still have your eyes on their Bloodline, don't you?"

Nux's smile widened, "A Bloodline that helps me access complicated elements like Time and Space, how can I not be interested? If only they had Trial Towers. I would have already gotten my hands on it."

"They do not belong to Yrniel, having Trial Towers for their Bloodline is impossible."

"A man can still wish, can't he?" Nux chuckled.

In the end, Aeliana decided to drop the matter and,

"Continue looking into your System, I believe it will help you in the long run. You trying to leave its influence and understand its source isn't wrong. It is something I would have done as well."

"Thank you, Master." Nux smiled.

It was clear that the two of them had gotten a lot closer compared to the first time they decided to talk and be honest with each other.

Because of the numerous conversations they had with each other, Nux had already told everything he could to Aeliana. Anything other than the fact that they were living in a 'fake' world, Aeliana knew. From her perception, the 'real' world was Nux's previous life and using that excuse, Nux could open up even further without breaking the rules of illusion that Lilith set.

And it wasn't just Nux, Aeliana had started to be more and more honest in Nux's presence as well. She even began telling her the problems she as the Leader of the Ancestral Order faced and how she plans on solving them.

Most of the time, the topic of their conversation was Nux's progress or Aeliana's rule, sometimes, the two just vented at each other.

This yearly meeting was something they both looked forward to for the entire year.

"How much more time do you think you need to completely Master the Zenith Flow to Perfection Stage?"

Suddenly, Aeliana questioned.

"300 years."

Nux's answer was instantaneous.

"So the time you form your Law is quite close huh..."

"I am already 1700 years old in this life, it took longer than I expected."

"There is nothing you could do, I am busy and you do not wish to get close to Vyriana. So you had to train alone most of the time." Aeliana shrugged.

Then, she glanced at Nux and,

"You will be 2000 by the time you perfectly master Zenith Flow. You will then have 1000 years to form your Law, if not... Then you would need to break through and become a Saint.

Your System might rea-"

"It won't happen, Master.

Trust me."
