Extra's Harem: Invincibility Starts with Marriage and lots of Children-Chapter 141 - A Realization for All Three
"Then, will you marry me?—"
These words acted as a trigger to stop the battle going between all three of those women as they halted, with all of their gauges turning towards the direction where they saw a young man seated just in front of a black skeleton while clearly proposing marriage.
All three of the women had different thoughts, with surprise and the shock of that proposal big enough for them to forget for a moment that they were in an active battle.
'Did he just propose to a death beast?' Mialthara stood there, looking blankly with her narrowed gaze, seemingly boosting her annoyance as she realized that Kyle Arcutus had just proposed to a death beast while a moment ago he had said how he did not even consider her as one of the potential wives, which she definitely didn't care about. But the way he told that and now proposing to someone so lowly made her realize that he was completely looking down on her.
She was the Blood Demoness, who was still feared by everyone in all three factions. Even if they did not show it on their faces, he was clearly undermining her whole value by saying those words, only enraging her further.
Yet instead of flowing in her anger, her eyes turned towards Aleriana and Olea, clearly noticing their body condition where she had definitely inflicted wounds on them, but noticed how while fighting, they were regenerating as if not wounded in the first place.
It was too confusing considering there was a limit to one's healing abilities—either healing potions or those possessing the title of the great divine doctor who was a member of the orthodox faction and had the ability to heal any kind of wound. He was renowned for even bringing someone at the brink of death back. Yet, this man was literally healing these two women at such a pace which was not believable.
Not only healing the wounds, but even she could feel the controlled breathing of both women; however strong they were, they were already too controlled, as if even their exhaustion was getting healed, let alone Qi.
It was beyond something she could understand, but one thing was confirmed: Kyle Arcutus was the biggest walking secret she had ever met in her life.
"H-husband?" Aleriana stared blankly, calling out to Kyle as she seemed to have noticed everything since earlier. Given how he had just offered to heal that skeleton and then offered a marriage proposal, she had the idea that somehow his abilities were only applicable to his wives. Given that earlier he was not able to heal his finger's injury, which definitely made her think he just wanted to embarrass her. Yet, taking that into consideration, she felt maybe, just maybe, his ability of regeneration, which she could feel even now, was not letting her exhaustion work just on his wives.
It was too big of a secret. Enough to make her realize if this was indeed the case, then most of the cultivators, especially women, knowing about this ability, would not miss the chance to use him by any means possible.
Standing there as she saw how he was doing all this in front of Olea, her gaze lingered for a moment. She clearly understood that even Olea seemed to notice that fact. As their gazes met, she realized how put aside Olea, but if greedy women considered Kyle's peculiar habit of just proposing to any woman he met, it would be a catastrophe, which she definitely did not want.
He was now her husband, and also a responsibility which she needed to safeguard at all costs. Letting this information leak was a threat to it, prompting her to think about how she needed to talk with him not to do such things in front of others, as she did not want any harm to befall on Kyle.
'But....you just tried to fool me, husband.' Yet there was a cold glint passing through her sapphire eyes as she pieced together the realization that the reason why Kyle laughed a moment ago was intentional. He really wanted that skeleton to get injured and was now using that pretext to marry her while having an excuse to Aleriana that he wanted to just save her life—something she felt was a very smart move but definitely not something she would not notice.
But what to do? She got a playboy husband.
Curse her luck.
'Marriage.' And as expected by Aleriana, Olea thought somewhat the same, looking at the sight, clearly feeling nostalgia, given she was also offered the same marriage proposal with the offer to save her life, really making her suspicious as to whether he activated this by proposing to a woman.
Maybe it was like an exchange of contracts.
'No.' And then she realized that not just by the proposal, but considering how she and even the Princess were getting healed, it was clear that his ability worked on even them without needing consent every time. So, most probably, that ability worked only on his wives, something which was a big revelation as she looked towards the Princess.
From her gaze, she seemed to think of this as an important matter which she should tell her, prioritizing to communicate through a telepathic message.
But noticing Aleriana's sudden look at her, Olea realized even the Princess noticed.
"Focus on the battle, wives! Mialthara is very dangerous!"
Bringing her and others out of their thoughts was the sudden voice of Kyle as all three suddenly realized that they were indeed in a battle.
Their eyes flickered towards each other as Olea and Aleriana, without a moment of thinking, snapped and hurled directly towards Mialthara, who also clenched her jaw as her body blurred, turning red, misted as she collided again with much more force, ignited by determination to really open Kyle's cranium to get the information his mind held.
Everything was just too alluring, yet there was hesitation in her movement, considering how her information extraction ability killed the individual.
It was natural for her to realize she would lose this peculiar reset ability, which was a lifeline to her.
Yet she would obtain her lifeline, which was the Blood Crystal's location.
Both were too alluring, confusing her in a loop.
'Should I just stop—'

'Damn, Mialthara, are you nuts?!' On the other hand, Kyle, seated while holding the hand of a bony skeleton in his palm, felt frustrated as now he would need to explain to Aleriana and, considering all of the things that had happened until now, he was sure that his wife, given her characteristics, would have already realized his powers. Not that he felt threatened, considering she had already shown her devotion towards him, but the issue was how he would most probably earn a playboy tag from her if she judged his character.
But the choice was clear. He needed to choose between his self-respect and his life, and naturally, it would be life.
He could just earn self-respect afterward.
Thinking that, he focused on the task at hand, wrapping his finger around her hand and again repeating, "Will you marry me?"
"...y..es I..will ea..t"
'Huh? Marriage is not a food, woman'—Kyle thought, his lips twitching, realizing that she definitely did not understand the meaning of marriage. But he could not do anything, given the system's notification ranged.
DING!
