The man thought, ‘He’s just a servant. How dare he hold Nyx, acting as if she belongs to him?‘

“No, he’s not a servant, Nyx cooed, nuzzling affectionately against Kian’s chiseled jaw as she held it. With pride, she introduced him to the crowd. “This is my fiancé, Kian Linden.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd was stunned. They looked at Kian in surprise.

Someone thought, ‘Fiancé? I can’t sense even the faintest ripple of spiritual power. He’s actually a mortal. True, he has striking looks. But what good are looks alone? Has Nyx been deceived?”

All around, skeptical and critical gazes rained down on Kian.

Kian remained calm, gently stroking the fluffy little rabbit in his arms. His hand moved through her fur, smoothing it out. Whenever particularly hostile stares landed on him, he met them with a cold glare.

No matter how much disapproval filled the air, seeing Nyx so openly stand by Kian’s side, no one was foolish enough to provoke him then and there.

The next morning, Kian went alone to Sword Peak to observe sword techniques. A group of sword cultivators discreetly locked their sights on him.

Confirming Nyx wasn’t around Kian, a few of them closed in and surrounded him, their eyes menacing. “Listen up, brat. Stay away from Nyx.”

“Look at you. Do you think you’re worthy of her?”

“We don’t know how you tricked her, but you’d better not get any funny ideas, or we’ll make sure you regret it.”

Despite their barrage of accusations, Kian remained expressionless.

His attitude, neither resisting nor responding, infuriated a particularly hotheaded sword cultivator. The man pushed Kian with considerable force, only to stumble back several steps, unable to budge Kian even an inch.

Kian stood firm, casting a condescending glance at the man before walking away.

Within moments, Kian was already 80 feet away. The sword cultivator looked down at his hands in disbelief, then up at Kian’s retreating figure, overcome with self–doubt.

The sword cultivators around mocked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“You can’t even push over a mortal? Idiot!”

“Did practicing swordsmanship ruin your arms?”

“You’re too weak. I’ll take care of it instead.”

The taunts from his companions fueled the sword cultivator’s anger, and soon they were wrestling each other into a chaotic brawl. Though he ended up bruised, he felt oddly satisfied.

The sword cultivator thought, “That’s more like it. My strength is still intact. So what happened earlier? Is that guy really strong?‘

After leaving Sword Peak, Kian headed to the main peak to check out the sect’s bounty board. After a long while, he selected a mission to eliminate a group of demonic cultivators and accepted it using Nyx’s waist token. He wanted to test his sword in

real combat.

Along the way, many people kept challenging him, but he handled each encounter with composure.

Many people liked Nyx. She was so adorable, perfect in every way, and it was only natural for others to adore her.

Since Kian intended to be Nyx’s dual cultivation partner, he had to endure countless jealous glares. If something as trivial as this could break him, then he didn’t deserve to stand by her side.

When a disciple from the executive hall took the waist token from Kian and glanced at it, his eyes widened in shock. “You… Seriously?”

The disciple thought, ‘What on earth does Nyx like this guy? She even gave him her waist token!”

No one in the sect would easily hand over their waist tokens, which contained all their merit points. Anyone holding it could spend those points freely.

“How dare you accept such a dangerous mission for Nyx?” Upon closer inspection of the task details, the disciple grew even angrier.

He added, “That group of demonic cultivators are all above the Virtuoso stage, with even a Nascent Soul stage leader among them. You want Nyx, a little bunny, to go kill them?”

Though Nyx had reached the Nascent Soul stage, she had never fought anyone within the sect. Combined with her usual appearance as a fluffy rabbit, people often overlooked her combat abilities and treated her like a pet.

For instance, this disciple from the executive hall simply couldn’t picture Nyx facing off against a group of demonic cultivators.

isn’t that enough for you to squander? Why are you forcing Nyx to take on such a perilous mission just to earn points for you?” The disciple glared at Kian as if looking at a despicable gigolo.
