Of course, Dyon planned to reject her, but he was a bit too soft hearted to do it in front of so many people. Why couldn't she have just been as rude as the first guy?
Dyon could only send Saru and Lilith apologetic smiles, but they seed unbothered, maybe because they were aware of the oddity of the situation. Plus, it was to their benefit to see exactly what the goal of these young scions was. If it was enough for them to co here, then it was likely not normal in the slightest.
They knew Dyon's goal was to grow as powerful as possible as quickly as possible so that he could return to the mortal plane. In that case, they wouldn't let so baseless jealousy get in the way of that.
Though Dyon wasn't a normal mortal by any stretch, battling three Peak Immortal Saints at once was definitely beyond him.
If they made a fuss, Dyon would definitely take their side. But this would be to his detrint, sothing they wouldn't be willing to live with.
Seeing their stances, Dyon's discomfort disappeared and he smiled lightly.
"Alright. I don't mind."
Crystella nodded, satisfied with Dyon's response. Even if her husband was weaker than her, she could accept it. Dyon's talent in alchemy more than made up for it. But, what she couldn't accept was if he was a coward even in his weakness.
She had taken interest in Dyon after she saw how easily he rejected Kywen's proposal. And, after learning his identity, she felt very comfortable with her choice. Now, she felt even better about it.
"Do you need help travelling?"
Dyon shook his head, causing sneers to color the faces of Kywen and the other young man, Tedric. However, their smiles could only freeze when the small cauldron on Dyon's shoulder expanded explosively.
Little Chibi's adorable figure leapt into Dyon's arms. She seed like a normal chubby little girl, in fact. Her form had gained much more substance after coming to the Immortal Plane. But, anyone with a sharp eye could see that she was a treasure spirit.
Dyon, Saru and Lilith leapt up, landing on its large lid.
Crystella's gaze glowed with a curious light, but she only nodded in the end.
"Then follow us."
Crystella turned away, shifting her gaze to the Immortal Saints.
"Those of you in the Immortal Saint Realm can follow as well. After all, this is your world, and we aren't tyrants. We will take a majority of the treasures, but there will be other opportunities for you all. Try to keep up."
The flying disk shot off into the distance with Crystella, Kywen and Tedric.
Dyon leisurely followed behind. Chibi wasn't exactly a movent treasure. But, she had great control of the surroundings which resulted in the gravitational abilities Dyon had used in the past. When used to improve speed, though, the results were quite excellent, albeit still a fraction slower than Crystella's disk.
Dyon had other thods to increase his speed further, but sensing Tedric and Kywen's hostile gazes, not to ntion Skull who seed to be looking at him with a curious light in his eyes, Dyon sneered inwardly and decided against it.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Lilith said when she was certain the only two who could hear her were Dyon and Saru.
"?" Dyon blinked innocently.
"Of course. Such a beautiful virgin girl laying her maidenhood on the line in front of so many people for you. It must stroke your ego."
Lilith smiled sweetly, little dimple dipping into her soft cheeks.
By now, Dyon realized that Lilith's jealousy was just her ans of teasing and having fun with him. She seed to enjoy flustering him. But, even if he was aware of this, he didn't dare to ignore her, or else maybe this teasing would beco sothing more real. He didn't want to have to deal with her tears again. That had shaved at least a decade off of his life.
"Never. I am a man of integrity and morality. Plus, even if I wasn't, how could she compare to you two?"
Dyon grinned a cheesy grin and gave the two beauties a thumbs up, feeling he had succeeded when he got a giggle out of it.
Though Kywen and Tedric couldn't hear what the three of them were talking about, just seeing Dyon dare to continue to entertain other won after Crystella's words filled them with rage. Even if Crystella personally told them that she was okay with them having other won, would they dare to act on such thoughts? Of course not!
Yet, a re mortal dared to act so casually, laughing with and teasing other won even when Crystella was right there.
Crystella, however, didn't seem to care. In fact, she didn't spare a glance backward, not feeling the need to.
In her mind, Dyon simply checked off all the boxes she needed in a husband. He was a generational talent, he was more than handso enough, and though his lineage was lacking, helping him enter the Immortal realms wouldn't be a problem.
Topping this with the fact he had so backbone and he t her standards. Nothing more, nothing less.
Though she had many suitors from higher level bubble worlds, those n only treated her like a prize to add to their collection. If she truly married them, her Nightwell family would simply beco a pawn. This wasn't sothing she wanted.
However, if she had such a genius alchemist for a husband, the rise of her Nightwell family was only a matter of ti. In such a case, who cared if he indulged other won? It wasn't as though she loved him.
Once he entered the Immortal Celestial world, he would help her conceive a child and the rest of their relationship could be platonic for all she cared.
On the ground below, madly chasing after the two flying treasures, the Immortal Saints of the bubble world in the midst of Armageddon ran. Zabel, who believed he had made an enemy of Dyon, was especially gloomy. He had even left Zaneta City without a word to Taline. She could very well die in this catastrophe, yet he turned his back on her without hesitation.
