Chapter 196 - Evolution Codex (2/2)
Higher the evolution, better the innate skills. Nik knew this simple fact. So, he did feel genuine respect for Brian as he openly shared all this information with him. No matter his motives, Nik had to present a basic level of etiquette to his beneficiary.
'If the lower-tiered demons are already rare tier beings... that means, Muzan is at least, at the Extreme-Tier evolutionary rank. His blood... if I can get it... that would be better.'
Nik stood up and cleaned his room for a few minutes before leaving for the backyard. With his Pheromone Domain, he could easily sense Yuriko still within the mansion, isolating herself within her room. Of course, leaving a hungry, aroused demon was less than responsible action, so, Nik made his way towards Yuriko's room and sat outside the door and starting his control over two strands of Gravitational-wave once again.
Yes, even though it grew incredibly taxing for Nik to control the two strands, he still felt a sense of achievement and satisfaction. And although there were only a few kilograms of difference, Nik understood the fact that the more his control grew, the lesser would be the strain on his mentality to bend the gravity when trying to squish demons like a bug.
After all, to squish the lower moon demon, Nik had mobilised hundreds of strands before passing out.
And now that he thought of the demon, he also recalled the treasure medallion he received from the demon, tickling his curiosity to activate it and find out the item within.
Maybe, he would get something incredible. After all, the tier of the item was greater than dark green.
Finally, Nik waited and calmly trained without affecting the surroundings save for himself as the pressure around him was quite easy to get used to. After all, with his stats, he would still find himself light as a feather when suppressed by a few kilograms of weight.
Finally, he stood up, still controlling the gravity, making the strands rotate closely around him, almost touching his body and knocked on Yuriko's door, startling the hungry demon.
”It is time for dinner. Let me... fill you up.” No matter how suggestive Nik sounded, his words were true, and finally, after a few minutes, Yuriko opened the door, revealing her flushed face and barely controllable drool that only stopped after she felt her body being filled with Negative Hamon.
During the process of the bestowal, Nik and Yuriko stayed silent the entire time and Nik finally moved when he found Yuriko's body overflowing with Negative Hamon.
”Yuriko, in a few days... I think, we will be giving you free reigns. But if you wish to meet your daughter, you'll need mine or either Saeko's company.”
Finally finding a topic that could attract her desires, Yuriko controlled her mind and looked at Nik with a confused expression.
”What do you mean?”
”Just like me, your daughter is probably under the tutelage of another pillar. And... breaching a pillar's property with the blood of a demon running in your veins, that too, at night...
Let's say, the pillars would prefer burglars over you.”
Yuriko nodded in understanding as her fill of Negative Hamon finally managed to restrain her overflowing thought for hunger and blood.
Finally, she laid on the bed and covered herself before turning her body to the other side, leaving a soft whisper.
”Thank you... for everything.”
With a smile, Nik stood and turned his heels, still keeping Yuriko under a constant surveillance. Who knows, if her instincts grew wild and she ended up committing a murder in a Cultivator's mansion.... that would be a major 'oof'.
As Nik made his way to the dining room, he found many chefs waiting outside the kitchen, earning them Nik's attraction.
”What happened?”
He lightly tapped the shoulder of the head chef, a burly man with scars for a face and a grumpy expression stating his dissatisfaction. But the accompanying helplessness has been evident on his face.
”Master Nik... it's the ladies...
They want to cook this time around so...”
”Here we are.” A young chef shrugged and completed the sentence for the head chef.
The young chef seemed extremely chill about the situation, making Nik's eyebrows rise in wonder as he nodded and finally decided to make his way towards the kitchen and... just look what the girls were cooking. No matter what they fed him, he still liked to watch women cooking.
Maybe it was due to his lingering attachment to motherhood, Nik reckoned.
”Hey, newbie! Don't you understand?! A kitchen is a chef's life!”
The head chef hissed while the kid smirked mischievously.
”Oh, come on, Head! The master is in the kitchen... so are the mistresses.
You tell me what happens usually when they gather together...”
The head chef's face paled as he thought of the implications while the kid shrugged.
”Well, now, at least, we can request a brand new kitchen with all the new equipments.”
The kid flashed a toothy grin while the other chefs behind him shook their heads. Of course, the females in the group glared daggers at the kid while growing green in envy.
