Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 139: The Talk (final)

"What do you mean" Muku asked, trying to understand how she knew. While her senses were good. They weren't that good.

"I mean this..." Jade replied then trailed off at the end. A look of enjoyment was still on her face. As she did so, two green cat ears appeared on her head. Which was surprising because the rest of her body remained unchanged.

"Since when were you able to do that?" Muku asked, truly surprised.

"Since earlier on. About the time you knocked on Emily's door. I was just playing around with my improved Beast Aura trying to see if I gained any new abilities. Then this happened. What an interesting coincidence right?" Jade explained, her expression really smug. She was having the time of her life having caught Muku completely off guard like that.

"Oh, congratulations... But still, the distance between here and the house, plus the low voices we spoke with. How were you able to hear all that. Your senses shouldn't be that good" Muku spoke, still dazed.

"You're right, my senses aren't that good yet. However, when I don't fully transform it's just my ears. My hearing ability is improved by an unreasonably high margin. So, I could hear everything clearly" Jade promptly explained. She had been dying to tell it to someone since she got the ability.

"You're forbidden to use that ability around the house" While he was happy for her. He immediately shut down its use around the mansion.

While it wasn't like anyone was doing anything scandalous. No one would feel comfortable knowing that there was someone always listening to them.

"Well duh, I'm not a weirdo who likes eavesdropping... It just happened coincidentally before. And I couldn't stop myself. Anyway, it's not like I can use the skill all day. It's like a bottomless pit for my Beast Aura. I didn't use it for even an hour and yet half of my Beast Aura is gone. The worst part is that Beast Aura takes longer to regenerate compared to Mana. So trust me, I won't be using it randomly even if you paid me" Jade explained more about the skill.

Just as she wanted to tell someone about how cool it was. She also wanted to complain to someone about how much of a bottomless pit it was. Muku happened to be at the right place at the right time... In her perceptive at least.

"Oh, okay. It would have been unreasonable if such an ability had drawbacks" Muku spoke, feeling a bit more relieved. At least now he knew that if he wanted to make sure she didn't hear something. He just had to wait until she had expended her beast aura in a battle or something.

"Yeah... Sooo, don't you have something to say to me?" Jade asked as she looked at Muku expectantly.

While she basically already knew everything he had to say. She still wanted to hear it as the intended recipient. That way, it would feel more official. She didn't want to be the only one who didn't have the talk.

"Nuh, I'm no longer in the mood. We can do it another time," Muku replied as he turned around, about to leave.

"If you dare move one step further away from me. I swear I will fight you to death, right here, right now" Jade spoke coldly as her battle intent and Beast Aura went wild.

It seemed like she really was prepared to fight him to the death. All because he wouldn't tell her something she already knew. Like always, you can never expect a girl or woman to be reasonable. Especially when she feels like her wants or needs are not being met.

"Woah Beastie, I'm just joking. Put the Beast Aura and battle intent away" Muku stopped in his tracks and turned back to face Jade as he spoke. He didn't expect her to react so intensely.

"What did you call me?"

Boom!

Jade's aura exploded. Apparently, she really didn't like being called that.

"Careful", Muku spoke as he also released his aura, and it quickly suppressed Jade's. The idiot had forgotten where they were. If she was allowed to continue. She might have destroyed the mansion with her aura alone.

"Oh, right!. Sorry," Jade, who quickly realised her mistake apologised.

"Just be mindful of your actions from now on... At least don't do that around here" Muku really wanted to stop after telling her to mind her actions. Unfortunately, he knew her well and so knew that it was impossible. So he had to say more.

"Fine... But wait, aren't you supposed to be still in a weakened state?" Jade asked confusedly after realising it. Her sudden anger from before was completely gone, just like how it had appeared.

"Yeah, I am still weakened. That was just a bluff" Muku replied tiredly. Just using his mana aura to suppress her took a lot out of him. Which made the two realise that he was still a distance away from full recovery. Even if his physical injuries were healed.

"Sorry" Jade apologized again for making him exert himself like that. She was even internally beating herself up for being so impulsive.

"It's okay, I kinda brought this upon myself. And you wouldn't be Jade if you didn't cause trouble" Muku let the issue go.

"While I feel insulted. I'll let it slide this once," Jade replied, feeling slightly annoyed by his words. Couldn't he speak as nicely to her as he did the others before? What's up with the obvious discrimination??

"Anyway, do you still want me to talk to you officially? Honestly speaking, it feels quite awkward for me to continue at this point so please have some mercy" Muku then brought back the issue that began the whole matter.

"It's fine, we don't need to do it. But you have to make it up to me someway" Jade replied while waving her hand. She no longer cared about having the official talk.

Muku couldn't help but be amazed by her fickleness. After all the drama. She let it go just like that?. Then again, it was to be expected from her and her erratic mind.

"In what way do you want me to make it up to you?" He asked defensively with a suspicious look in his eyes as he looked at her.

It was important to make things clear. Lest she did something crazy in the future and he won't be able to do anything about it. As she could say it was how she wanted him to make it up to her.

"What's with that look? Do you really think so little of me? I'm not even going to ask you to do something. I'll leave that to you. You come up with a way to make it up to me. It just has to be something that pleases me. That's nothing bad right?" Jade spoke while rolling her eyes at Muku's reaction to what she said before. In his eyes, she really couldn't be trusted at all, huh?

"Oh, I guess that doesn't sound bad at all. I think I can do that. I'll see what I can do then" Muku replied with a relieved look on his face. Internally he was wondering since when had Jade become reasonable.

"Yeah... Just have whatever you're preparing ready by tomorrow. If not, then you'll have to do whatever one thing I ask you to with no questions asked" As he was celebrating, Jade showed her true colours.

It seemed her real plan was to entrap him and then get him to do whatever sinister thing she was planning. A gleeful expression even appeared on her face as she spoke. She was clearly already imagining what she was going to make him do and how it was going to play out. Such an evil little girl!

"Give me two weeks or no deal" Muku wasn't taking it as he replied with a deadpan expression on his face. He should have known that Jade becoming a good person was impossible.

"What?! No! That's too long! The best I can give you is two days!" Jade gave her counteroffer. She knew he wasn't going to agree to the initial pitch.

She was willing to be a bit more flexible. After all, she was certain there was nothing he could do in two days that would impress her to a high enough extent for it to count.

"Ten days, take it or leave it" Muku refused her offer and proposed his own. He knew that he needed as much time as he could get to come up with something. Otherwise, he'd definitely fail and fall into Jade's hands.

"One week is all I'm willing to offer!" Jade counteroffered again, seeing how he was unwilling to give up much ground.

"Okay, deal!" Muku didn't try to negotiate anymore. He felt seven days was more than enough time to come up with something good.

"Wait! No! I meant 3 days!" Jade was flustered by his willingness to take the deal. She felt that she must have given him too much time. So she tried to backtrack.

"Too late. The deal has already been made. Now, good day" Muku wasn't taking it as he replied then promptly left.

Jade was left there fuming in annoyance. And so, the talk that no longer seemed like it the moment Jade stepped in came to an end...
