Chapter 1169 Who even cares?
Riona questioned as she saw Amaya walking into her room.
"I barely won my battle today," Amaya replied with a downcast expression on her face.
"..."
Riona stared at Amaya with a deadpan look on her face.
"You defeated your opponent within 2 minutes, Amaya."
"I was forced to use Devouring Mist."
"And? It is the ability you were born with, why would you not use it?" Riona questioned, Amaya, however, shook her head,
"The opponents we are currently facing are average Semi Saints, we, on the other hand, are peak Semi Saints, it is a battle that shouldn\'t be very difficult for us in the first place, but I was forced to use my trump card.
We still haven\'t faced their Elites yet, I believe it is a weakness those Top Clans might take advantage of."
Hearing those words, Riona started thinking. She could understand what Amaya was talking about, this could be seen as a weakness of a sort, however,
"You do not have to be so hard on yourself, Amaya."
Saying those words, Riona held Amaya\'s hand and gestured her to sit beside her on the bed. Then, looking into her daughter\'s eyes, she spoke,
"You became a Complete Semi Saint in just 150 years, Amaya. That alone is enough to show the entire world how strong you are. I already know you are comparing yourself with Astaria, Aisha, and the others, but there is no need for you do to so. You have your own role here."
Riona\'s tone was gentle, full of endless love.
Amaya, however, just frowned,
"What are you talking about, mother?"
"Huh?"
"Of course, I have my own role. There is no way I would compare myself to a Succubus who has a ridiculously strong Bloodline or a Battle Maniac who cannot think of anything but fighting. There is simply no comparison between me and them." Amaya shrugged.
"..."
Riona, on the other hand, didn\'t know what to say.
"What I am worried about is that we might need Nux to act if our opponents play their moves correctly and that would mean Nux would win the bet,"
"The bet?" Riona frowned.
"That is correct."
"So you were worried about a bet?"
"Of course." Amaya nodded.
"..."
Riona\'s mouth twitched. Then, however, she just shook her head and,
"Talking with geniuses really is exhausting huh... It is as if the two of us live in different worlds.
We are mother and daughter, how can the difference between our talent be this vast?"
Riona couldn\'t understand.
"It is not the difference in talent, mother, it is the difference in the choice of partners," Amaya spoke up.
"Huh?" Riona frowned in confusion.
Just where did this topic come from?
"The life partners the two of us chose made all the difference."
Hearing those words, a weak smile appeared on Riona\'s face,
"Please, you are making it sound like I had the option to choose. I would have chosen to die than to marry that pig if things were in my control. The only good thing I got out of that is you, the rest is only trauma."
"Hmm? Don\'t you have the choice now? I don\'t see anyone having the authority over you or controlling you now." Amaya replied.
"Well you don\'t see it, but I do have something having \'authority\' over me, my love. That thing is time, I am old now.
You don\'t want your old mother to go out trying to look for love, now do you?
I would like to spend the last few decades of my life in peace and being together with you is all I need."
"See? This is the depressing talk I wanted to avoid."
Amaya spoke with a wry smile on her face.
In an instant, Riona understood what was going through her daughter\'s mind, she extended her hand as she gently cupped Amaya\'s cheeks and,
"There are some things you need to accept as it is, love.
You cannot bend the rules of the world, rather than trying to do the impossible, you should enjoy what you have, while you have it."
There was a light smile on Riona\'s face as she said those words. She could tell her daughter was acting strangely ever since she had returned, now, however, when she finally realized what she was worried about, her eyes turned moist.
\'I am a fool.\'
How could she not see through her daughter\'s thoughts before? How could she be this blind?
Just as Riona was about to hug Amaya,
"There are exceptions, Mother."
Amaya spoke up, holding Riona\'s hand that was on her face and looking right into her eyes.
"There are some beings in this world, who are born to bend the rules of this place and create chaos all over the place just to get what they want."
"What are you talking about?"
Riona narrowed her eyes.
"Mother, are you really satisfied?"
"Huh?"
"Are you going to leave me?"
"Amaya I-"
"Do you want to leave me?"
"..."
Amaya changed her question and this time, Riona turned silent.
She had spent most years of her life away from her daughter, the daughter she loved more than anything in the world, how could she possibly want to leave her? She, however, was helpless.
"I do not have any other choice, Amaya."
"What if I say there is a choice?"
"What...?" Riona\'s expression.
"What if I say there is a way to help you reach the Great Sage Stage within a few days? Would you be interested?"
"Amaya, something like that doesn\'t exist, if it did, the entire world would be busy finding such a method and there would be chaos all ove-" Riona wanted to dismiss her daughter\'s words however, seeing how she looked straight at her with those eyes, she froze.
"Why do you think I never mentioned something like this all this time?" Amaya questioned and suddenly, Riona\'s eyes widened in horror.
"You... You have such method... method to increase your cultivation at... at a scary rate..."
"I will ask again, Mother, would you be interested in spending the long coming centuries ahead with me?"
"O-Of course!"
Riona\'s answer was instantaneous. She didn\'t even care about her cultivation, she only cared about the extra time she would get together with her daughter and her eyes brightened in sheer joy.
A big smile appeared on Amaya\'s face as well.
"How do we do it?" Riona questioned.
"You will know it when the time comes, mother."
"What?" Riona frowned, she couldn\'t believe her daughter was acting like this now.
"I didn\'t plan to say anything, he wanted it to be as natural as could, but I couldn\'t control myself and ended up spoiling everything," Amaya spoke.
"Amaya, what are you talking about?" Riona, on the other hand, couldn\'t understand anything at all.
"Nothing, mother. I just want you to trust me."
"Of course, I trust you with all my heart." Riona nodded.
Even if it wasn\'t for the dream she had just shown her, even if everything she said turned out to be false, Riona would still trust her daughter blindly.
That was just the kind of fool she was.
"Also, mother."
Amaya wasn\'t done.
"There was one more thing I wanted to say."
"Say whatever you wish to say. It has been a while since the two of us got to spend time together like this." Riona spoke as she placed Amaya\'s head on her lap and started ruffling her hair. Amaya didn\'t resist, she just closed her eyes and enjoyed the fulfilling feeling.
"There are many new women around Nux now," Amaya muttered.
"Are you jealous?" Riona questioned with a playful smile on her face.
"None of those women are better than me," Amaya replied.
"Is that so...?"
"But I do feel left out."
"What...?" Riona\'s expression changed.
"Is Nux not taking proper care of you?"
"Of course not, how is that possible? I am his favorite wife."
Amaya was confident and seeing that confidence, Riona couldn\'t help but chuckle, her daughter really is a fool for her husband, huh?
"So? Why do you feel left out?"
"I sometimes feel left out when all my \'dear sisters\' make their own factions."
"Factions...?"
"Mhm."
"Then why don\'t you create your own faction?" Riona suggested.
"But I can\'t just add someone random into my Faction, now can I?"
"These are your sisters we are talking about, Amaya, not some random people."
"That is true, but I still need a stronger bond with someone to ask them to join my Faction."
"A stronger bond...?"
"Mhm, you and I, for example.
Honestly, it would have been perfect if you were Nux\'s wife as well. Our faction would have been the strongest."
"Amaya, what are you talking about? Have you lost your mind? I am your mother, how can I marry your husban-"
"You are thinking too much, mother.
Who even cares?
If it is something your heart desires,
I\'d say go for it."

Second Chapter of the day.
Sorry for the past few days, it was a busy month.
I had to take 9 exams in the last 7 days. There was even an exam on Sunday. Yes, my university is shit, I know.
Anyway, I still have exams left, 2 exams in the next 2 days, but I think we will be coming back to 2 chapters a day from now on.
As for the 20-chapter mass release I promised, I will have more free time after 23 Nov, since my next exam would be on 2 Dec, so by the end of Nov month, expect the mass release.
Most probably around 28-29 Nov.
Thank you for reading, and have a good day.
