During his time under house arrest, he ate Ellis's homemade desserts and lounged on his bed, occasionally casting thoughtful glances at Ellis.He hadn't forgotten the silent acquiescence - Ellis hadn't denied that he was "special".
It put him in a good mood, and he didn't even want to bother with Ellis anymore.
Of course, he wasn't going to let Ellis get away with that.So, when Ellis pushed open the door to Nyx's room the next day, what he saw was the sight of the entire room being wrapped in black vines.
These vines looked like they were alive, growing at will in the room, the walls, the bookshelves, and even the windows were crawling with black and purple branches and leaves, and the leaves were flashing with an eerie magical luster, and the room's lighting looked eerie and weird under the backdrop of this strange magical plant.
And in the center of the room, Nyx was just half lying on a bench that was entwined with vines, his posture was lazy like a true abyssal noble.
He had one hand propped up on his cheek, a meaningful smile hanging at the corner of his mouth, the end of his eyes slightly upturned, and his red eyes were bright like burning flames in the dim light.
"Good morning, dear mentor."He laughed softly, the end of his voice rising slightly with a bit of seduction unique to demons, "You were right yesterday, I am indeed not angry anymore.As a thank you, I've redecorated the room, what do you think?"
Ellis stood in the doorway, his gaze coldly sweeping over the black vines that filled the room, and was silent for a split second before he faintly spoke, "Clean these up."
"Eh?"Nyx feigned surprise, "But I think it's pretty.And look-"
He lifted his hand, and with a gentle movement of his fingertips, the vines seemed to come to life, slowly wriggling in Ellis's direction, their branches sliding on the ground with a subtle rustling sound, as if they were testing, and as if they were inviting.
"They are my carefully cultivated magical plants, loyal and obedient, and they even help me catch intruders."Nyx winked and smiled wryly, "Don't you want to try it, Mentor?"
Ellis glanced at him and raised his hand without hesitation, a blade of magical light instantly sliced through the air, precisely severing several approaching vines.
"Clear these out."He repeated, his tone still cold, but clearly taking on a warning tone.
Nyx looked at the severed vines and sighed with what seemed to be some regret, "Tch, you're really getting boring."
Despite saying this on his lips, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and those vines immediately withered and contracted as if they had received an order, dissipating into magical dust in the air.
Only after the room was restored to its original state did Ellis stride in, his gaze falling on Nyx as he faintly said, "You have twice as many subjects to complete today."
Nyx: "..."
He just wanted to protest, but looking at Ellis's cold face, and remembering his own "painful experience" yesterday, he finally gritted his teeth and endured.
He glared at Ellis, his tone grumbling, "Can't you be a little gentler with me?"
Ellis looked at him, his expression not wavering in the slightest, "I can't."
Nyx purposely put on a hurt look and let out a long sigh, "You're such a person, you're really getting to be too much for me to leave."
Ellis frowned, his gaze slightly fixed, "... What do you mean?"
Instead of answering, Nyx smiled meaningfully, stretched, and lazily hopped off the bench, walking towards his desk while casually saying, "Nothing, just sighing."
He turned his head and winked at Ellis, "After all, I'm getting more and more comfortable in your place."
Ellis looked at him and was silent for a split second, eventually just saying coldly, "Don't give me any more trouble."
Nyx smiled wanly, but the corners of his mouth held an imperceptible hint of meaning.
"I'll try."He said.
