Lord Of Succubi:Transmigrated As A Dual Cultivator In Isekai Of Magic

Chapter 186 Chapter 186 Ice Cold

That was the true source of her pain.

damn.

Not again, he thought.

"Ouch!!!"

Selina screamed-bending over again, clutching her stomach, and sweating profusely. Hnad on her tummy, her whole body trembled. On her face, the lids over her eyes were firmly shut- as she grimaced- clearly in pain.

Nexus' all black form slithered forward immediately- sweeping in closer with his feet rustling along the garden's rich soil. His coat flapped behind him, and the broad hat over his head did nothing to conceal the look of concern streaking across his face.

"Seli–"

"OWWW!!!"

She growled this time- as her facial muscles clenched. Like a single leaf in the wind, her whole body- from her slender shoulders, to her back, down to her arms- and her torso. Long stretches of moans escaped her throat. On her milky white skin, networks of green veins skidded across her epidermis- screaming out against her neck- bulging unnaturally.

Swiftly- Nexus was by her side.

Still bent over, and with her long white hair pouring forward like a waterfall of snowy curls, Nexus planted himself firmly behind her. His right hand reached out and landed on her right shoulder. His free hand- in a sturdy grip- held her by left bicep, gripping her reassuringly.

Nexus almost recoiled in shock.

The A-class ice mage was burning up.

Her skin was hot- damn near scalding! The heat burned into his palms, gifting him a tiny insight into the state of her health.

"Selina, I need to–" he corrected; "I have to examine you right away- can you stand?"

She said nothing.

But in his hands, he felt her shivering body suddenly tense up.

Trying to straighten up, she jerked her head upwards. With her long her fluttering, her long pale neck arched all the way back- instantly putting a violent strain on her shoulders, and sending a fresh wave of agonizing pain through her skull.

Instantly, the white haired lady regretted it. Her eyes saw a sudden flash of bright colors. Feeling like she was bludgeoned in the back of her head, a violent tide of rippling pain threatened to rip her skull open. Her defiant eyes- wide and full, throbbed in their sockets, looking like they would burst open.

"No. . ."

She said weakly- doubling over once again into a bent forward form.

Heaving, and breathing slowly, all the blood rushed to her head in a deafening roar, as blinding flashes of light streaked through her vision.

Violent pangs of pain attacked her skull, neck, and turbulent stomach in tremors- threatening? to knock her unconscious.

"Ni Yang. . ." she called out weakly- almost inaudibly; ". . .t-t-there's a property. . .my property. . .a herb garden. . ."

Nexus' face contorted in confusion- trying to follow her words.

". . .it's just south of this place. . .about three clicks down the main road. . ." she whispered hoarsely; ". . .we can go there. . .it's my property. . ."

At once, Nexus' face brightened.

Well, not that he was happy with the situation- not at all.

He was simply glad that they could at least have some privacy. Especially since his treatments could be a little- unorthodox.

He felt her body go limp in his arms, and he knew that walking was not an option. One look at her, and he knew she was about to pass out. So, grateful for his own strength, his rippling muscles tensed under the sleeves of his coat.

Carefully, he wrapped his powerful right arm around her waist- hoisted her up, then gently slid his other hand under her knees- picking her up effortlessly, like she was a sack of bones.

He lifted his face south, and struck out with a hasty stride towards the exit- entering the road a short while later.

No one even bothered him with a second glance.

-----------------------------------

A short moment later, Nexus literally kicked open the makeshift door, and entered the property with a quick fluid stride. The shutters flapped noisily, and under the lush grey carpets, the wooden boards creaked rebelliously under his feet.

His quick searching eyes scoured the room in a sharp glance.

It was a greenhouse- or something of the sort, only a tad bit more luxurious.

Selina's obsession with the color white, had reached this property as well.

Stretching from wall to wall, all the way to the ceiling- were rows and rows of white bookcases, filled with all sorts of texts. Along the walls were silver framed pieces of art- some nude, some abstract, and a handful of detailed paintings of flowers in bloom.

In a quick breath, he took it all in.

With the unconscious woman in his arms, he strode towards the right wing of the open space- feeling the pressure of time racing against him.

His eye caught the wide bed ahead of him. With just a headboard against the wall, it was frameless, apparently designed for convienence. But a sea of clean white sheets spanned its area. Four white pillows were laid out in formation at the head. And a pink duvet covered the southernmost part.

Silently, Nexus edged over, and laid the sleeping boss on the bed.

Heaving away from her, and sighing in exasperation, Nexus heard himself gasp in surprise. It wasn't from his sore muscles. Neither was it from the tautening feeling in his arms. No, it was from his fingers brushing against Selina's forehead.

Nexus' eyebrows- bushy and black- furrowed in tufts of shock.

Eyes flashing with concern, and heartbeat rising steadily, he arched his head downwards, and reached out with his open palm- landing on the lady's abdomen.

Nexus felt like he had just touched the bottom of an ice-cream bowl. Immediately, his palm rebelled against the cold, and his hand recoiled involuntarily.

'Her temperature's dropped? When?'

Flapping his coat behind- and not even taking his eyes away for a second, Nexus adjusted his waist- bringing himself to sit down by the side of the bed. Feeling the mattress sink beside her, she stirred slowly- fluttering her eyes open like a blooming flower;

"Damn it Selina," Nexus echoed; "I told you to go easy on the IceCore elixir!"

Both his eyes- black as a mountain, blazed furiously;

"Do you want to die? Cos' that's what would have happened if I hadn't turned up! You should have been in bed all day- with a healer by your side, and people around to attend to you!"

He rebuked her;

"Instead you're out here chugging pints of the elixir! Downing it like it's chocolate ice cream? Mate this isn't a joke! YOU COULD ACTUALLY DIE!!!"

Nexus' eyes were flashing with concern. Each word was like a single whip that curled in the air, and landed on her with a vicious clap.

He touched her forehead again.

And sure enough, his palm burned from the sheer coldness. Her temperature had dropped- dramatically!

"Quick question," he rasped; "What would you have done if I hadn't shown up? Tell me."

His gaze- intense and full of fierceness- burned into her, demanding an answer.

On the bed, Selina looked up to him with round sorry eyes. Guilt was plastered all over her- from her shallow breathing down to her less than confident eyes. Her silence rang of regret, and penitence.

Her lips were partly open, and her face was drained of color.
