Chapter 179
“Boss?” the subordinate asked.
Jaws raised a hand to signal him to stop talking.

He could clearly feel himself surrounded by Nyx’s mental power, and a smile spread across his face as his previously restless emotions and exhaustion melted away.
This wasn’t just Nyx soothing him mentally; it was a signal of goodwill from her. She wasn’t angry anymore; she had forgiven him.
The subordinates saw Jaws visibly brighten up and exchanged confused glances, unsure of what was happening. Ever since she started dating, Jaws‘ mood has become more and more unpredictable.
Nyx withdrew her mental power and relaxed her expression.
Even though they didn’t talk at all, through their mental link, she could feel Jaws‘ mood shift from dark to bright.
After calming one male down, there’s another one for her to deal with. Nyx hesitated as she ran to Felix’s room, peeking in, “Felix…”
She came to apologize. According to the Adjutant, Felix was so heartbroken over her being attacked and falling unconscious that he even vomited blood.
Felix keenly sensed Nyx’s presence. He had already raised his head and was staring at her by the time she got close to the door.
The mental torment he had been through recently was too much. Since Nyx woke up, he hadn’t felt anything real.
Over the past ten days, he had experienced many hallucinations of Nyx waking up, and each time he broke free from them, he sank deeper into despair.
He thought, ‘Maybe this time is another one of those hallucinations.”
“Felix?” Nyx asked again.
The feeling of Nyx in his arms was so real that Felix appeared dazed.
He tightly hugged her small, soft body, feeling the warmth of life. If this was another hallucination, he would be willing to never wake up.
Nyx quietly snuggled against his chest, staying with him for a while.
Time passed by, and Felix gradually regained his composure. He gently cupped Nyx’s face in his hands and solemnly reminded her, “Nyx, don’t do this again next time.”
He knew that Nyx wasn’t being reckless but was trying to save people and turn the tide of the battle. She didn’t do anything wrong.
However, he thought that she shouldn’t have to worry about the battlefield. She should stay in a safe place and live the most peaceful life possible.
He said, “Leave everything to me; leave it to the soldiers of the Empire. We will protect you, and you don’t need to worry about anything”
For that AeroMist, Felix had already made several plans in advance. Even if Nyx wasn’t here, the battle would end with the Empire’s victory.

Felix explained those plans to Nyx, hoping to reassure her.
Nyx furrowed her brow instead. “That would mean a lot of people would die, right?”
With her here, the Empire’s casualties were much lower, far below the estimated number in those plans.
Felix nodded slightly. Indeed, without Nyx, they would have likely won in a tragic manner.
He said, “But you’re a female, and the most precious SSS–level female. Nothing is more important than your safety.”
Protecting females was an instinctual mission for males.
Nyx shook her head. “You are important too, and those soldiers are important. I want to protect you all. That’s my mission.”
The Divine Tree is the guardian of the Beastmen. She was born from its embrace, and naturally, she must protect this race along with it.
Even without that identity and responsibility, she would still do it from the bottom of her heart.
“Don’t worry, Felix,” Nyx said, hugging Felix’s neck. “Next time, I won’t run to the battlefield again. I’ll make sure to stay safe.”
After upgrading her mental power, she no longer needed to put herself in danger. Even when she returned to the Central Planet, she could always mentally soothe the soldiers on the front line.
Nyx carefully observed Felix’s expression, noticing that he was still very serious, showing no signs of happiness.
She hesitated and quietly asked, “Are you going to punish me, Felix?”
She would be okay with any punishment from Felix. Although they were in a mate relationship, Felix had always given her the feeling of being stable, like an elder. In front of Felix, she didn’t feel embarrassed.
Besides, it was because of her that Felix vomited blood this time, so being punished by him would be appropriate.
Felix’s pupils constricted. He clearly caught the word “too,” and his anger flared instantly. His fists cracked as he clenched them. “Who hit you?”
Nyx didn’t expect him to react this way.
Up until now, Felix’s emotions had always been calm. He became more intense when facing her, but he never got angry with her, let alone this furious.
She thought, ‘If I confess, would Felix fight with Jaws?”
Nyx shrank back at the thought of that terrifying scene and didn’t dare to speak.
Faced with Felix’s repeated questioning, she hesitated, not knowing how to answer. She decided to lean in and kiss Felix, trying to silence him with that.
The result was better than expected.
After Nyx kissed Felix a few times, his cold, intimidating aura slowly softened, and there was a wave of tenderness in his amber eyes.
One male after another in the family had gotten close to Nyx, yet Felix had been enduring alone on the front lines. Now, his beloved Nyx was in his arms, being so proactive.
“Is it okay, Nyx?” Even though he was desperate, he remained a gentleman, asking if she agreed.
The older ones were indeed better at enduring; everything was done with the matron’s will in mind.

Of course, Nyx wouldn’t refuse. She leaned her face against Felix’s shoulder and gently nuzzled it.

Maybe it was due to the long journey, or perhaps she had exhausted too much energy with Kian and Felix, but on the way back to Central Planet, she felt unusually tired and fell into a drowsy sleep all the way home.
She thought that after sleeping so much during the day, she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night, but before it was even her usual bedtime, she was already so sleepy that she couldn’t keep her eyes open.
This strange behavior naturally caught the attention of the males in the house.
Their first reaction was panic, worried that something was wrong with Nyx’s body.
They thought, ‘Could the attack have hurt her, leaving lingering effects? Or maybe something went wrong with her mental power upgrade?‘
Zayne, the doctor, was the first to calm down and think of another possibility, his expression turning subtle. “Nyx, let me give you a physical check–up.”
