BXBX NOVEL Chapter 163 Sylph Problem
An asura and a sylph on his shoulder were seen flying low above the Bog Forest trees. They seemed to be relaxing and not in a hurry but the asura\'s eyes scanned the sky and land around him. He was on alert and looking for something.
Black, long hair slightly covers a cold, handsome face. Deep crimson eyes, set high within their sockets, captivate anyone who looks at them. His eyebrows are sharp like a sword and two sharp-small tusks stick out from both sides of his lips.
He looked like a male model who could make a woman swoon with just a sinister smile. The asura looked around with great vigilance but his body seemed to be flying at a leisurely pace. He believed that if someone wanted to attack him, his inner eye would quickly tell him the direction of the attack. This asura is Moku.
"Nerphyl, are you sure if you\'re ready? I don\'t know what will happen to you when the Vithaen Possession Art begins" Moku said in a flat voice but there was concern hidden from there.
A sylph sitting on his shoulder looked at Moku\'s side profile but immediately looked back ahead. She didn\'t answer Moku\'s question for a while.
Moku glanced at the Queen of Sylph with his side eye.
The icy blue hair extended to cover her chest, so straight and soft that it could be seen up close. It calms the hearts of those who look at it closely and freezes the hearts of those who see it with just a glance. Two small antennae protruding from her forehead formed a majestic crown befitting her broad, white forehead.
Unlike ordinary sylphs who don\'t have eyelids, the queen\'s eyes are covered by lids with long eyelashes that brush across her cheeks. Everyone will wish that the eyelids opened and could see the bright blue eyes like the shallow sea. There was no fault in her thin white cheeks, there was only majesty and adoration for those who dared to touch her. The queen\'s thick lips were closed, so gracefully that they all knew that the queen\'s teeth were in order.
Two blue butterfly wings could be seen flapping on her back, each movement seemed to bring a sprinkling of falling stars. The patternless blue dress gracefully covers the entire body from the neck to the ankles. But the queen sitting with her legs crossed made the beautiful dress part and reveal white and smooth thighs.
Moku always saw sylph as the personification of the word cute.
But their queen is an image of the word graceful and beautiful.
Sylph\'s queen sitting on Moku\'s back is Nerphyl.
After a while Nerphyl finally answered "I don\'t know but I know if this is the right time" she said with burning eyes and fists clenched.
Moku narrowed his eyes "What do you mean by the right time?" he said, keeping his guard up.
Nerphyl let out a long breath "Right now we\'re at war with Quadruple Arachnids but there isn\'t a single sylph capable of fighting on the frontlines. If I evolve successfully then I\'ll be the first sylph to fight on the frontlines along with the other monsters."
Moku\'s brow furrowed and he was at a loss to deal with this matter. Sylphs are cheerful and funny creatures, even in the monster family they are the favorite of the other monsters and always make the atmosphere more cheerful. However, there is one sylph trait that sometimes irritates the monsters.
Inferiority Complex.
For some reason, every sylph feels that they are useless and only annoys the people around them. Therefore they always look cheerful and excited so that they become the center of attention of those around them. But when friendship with sylphs becomes closer, the monsters will find out that sylphs are really annoying.
How not to get annoyed when around someone who sees themselves negatively and always asks for the attention of others. If we ignore them, Sylph will feel they are no longer needed and will grieve. The most annoying trait is not those who act like losers but those who consider themselves losers.
As the queen of the sylphs, Nerphyl was the one with the worst inferiority complex. Thoughts of suicide always crossed her mind when she found that the sylphs would be in danger. She always thought that if she wasn\'t around then Sylph\'s life would be safer.
Even though Moku has given a guarantee that there will be no danger to Sylphs while he is still alive or the monsters will fight together if someone attacks the sylphs but that only adds to the assumption that the Sylphs are useless and only trouble the monsters. Of course, this irritated Moku and the monsters.
But even so the existence of sylph is irreplaceable in the Wilwatikta Kingdom. With their CCTV capabilities, the Military Espionage division is able to create information lines that record every movement of enemy soldiers and allies like watching with satellites. Then with the ability to possess, the number of animals Wilwatikta Kingdom tames also increases.
It could be said that the sylphs\' inferiority complex made them easy workers to control.
That\'s why even though Nerphyl\'s inferiority complex was really annoying, Moku still had to find out why she was thinking like that.
"Nerphyl, the sylphs are already fighting on the front lines, maybe they don\'t fight with weapons but your CCTV skills are very important in this war. Without that the casualties on our side would have multiplied many times over." Moku is telling the truth.
But he knew that this would not be enough to discourage Nerphyl from doing the Vithaen Possession Art. There must be something else that worries Nerphyl. "Nerphyl, tell me the real reason" Moku said in a soft voice but tired heart.
Nerphyl shook her head "that\'s the real reason, even though we were useful but we didn\'t sacrifice our lives. I want Sylph to fight together with other monsters." said Nerphyl, stroking her belly with pouted lips.
Moku had been dealing with Nerphyl\'s inferiority complex for too long that he knew that her body movements could be a hint of Nerphyl\'s true intentions. Seeing Nerphyl stroking her stomach, the lightbulb in Moku\'s head suddenly lit up "You want to have children?" Moku said with a frown on his face.
Nerphyl suddenly turned to Moku with a look of amazement as if to say "you\'re not as stupid as you look". Moku\'s annoyance grew even more but Nerphyl didn\'t care and looked up at the sky like a poet praising the world.
"Moku, do you know the true duties of a queen?"
Moku wanted to complain and took a long sigh but he held it in because he didn\'t want to hurt his wife\'s heart. He had grown tired of the riddles that Nerphyl always used to make her words more meaningful. But he can only surrender because she is his wife.
"Hmm... to lead the people and help the king control their kingdom?" said Moku trying to answer as best he could.
But Nerphyl shook her head "Leading the people is the duty of a king, controlling the kingdom is the job of a prime minister, but the true duty of a queen is far more important than that." Nerphyl stopped and took a deep breath, with clenched fists she said in a burning voice "The real duty of a queen is to give birth to the next generation! Or in other words, a prince who will succeed the king to lead the kingdom and protect their people!"
Moku flinched at how serious Nerphyl was right now. \'Are you cursing me to die?\'
Nerphyl looked down and rubbed her belly again "But look at me, I can\'t get pregnant with your child. This small and weak body of mine can\'t hold the sperm of the powerful king. Without the ability to give birth to the next generation, I\'m just a crippled queen!" tears began to well up in Nerphyl\'s eyes.
Moku complained in his heart \'Isn\'t that because sylph reproduces vegetatively?\'
Sylphs are not mammals, they do not have a fetus that can conceive and milk to suckle. They reproduce like plants in a vegetative way. The male sylph will spread pollen which will be taken by the female sylph and put into their pistil.
Moku had seen how sylphs reproduced and he seemed to have discovered a new world when he see it. The female sylph will walk among the pollen spread by the male sylph and choose the best pollen like mothers choose fruit in the market. So actually the concept of marriage is foreign to the sylphs because they themselves do not know who their real father is.
Then even the male sylphs don\'t know who their wives and children are. So it is very rare to find a male sylph living together in the same house with a female sylph.
"That\'s why Moku! I have to evolve and change this small and weak body of mine!" said Nerphyl with burning eyes.
"Uuhh.. okay" Moku could only nod not wanting to get burned. "Hmm... how about we try it with that mutated animal" Moku pointed down.
Seeing the beautiful mutated animal, Nerphyl excitedly and impatiently nodded "okay!"
