Chapter 340 A Family Break (Part 2)
The rest of the day went on without nothing happening, and when night came, Lilia who was cuddling with Aster, waited until everyone was asleep, to look at her son.
While Aster previously had clashed with the law enforcer Ramon causing him a little loss, in the sense that he couldn\'t harm him no matter how much he tried, in the eyes of others it was him being protected by a spirit formation.
Which led some to think "Everyone can face a stronger cultivator with external assistance", of course that thought was wrong, because although Aster was protected by the Twin Sword valley\'s formation, he won that privilege with his own efforts.
But now, the situation with Melisa was an eye opener for some and a slap in the face for others, all the targets in the Wanted Book had the battle prowess of a Mortal Transcending realm at least and all where from high ranked stellar systems, not to mention their respective treasures and other equipment.
That\'s where the challenge was, and that\'s also why Melisa refused to believe Aster, a Stellar Constellation cultivator could defeat such enemies without other people\'s help.
Even if he were to have treasures on par with Daniel\'s, she thought he shouldn\'t have the spirit energy to make the best use of them, the stronger the treasure the more requirements it had for its use.
And even Aster wasn\'t an exception to that, if not he would have used the sword Lilia gifted him for his birthday many years ago.
Think of it like being a racer, even if you have the fastest car in existence, without the skill to control it and the fuel to turn it on, then it would just be a piece of scrap accumulating dust.
The difference was that Aster was used to not use any spirit formations on his swords to increase their properties meaning he didn\'t need to power them, he just overwhelmed his opponents by sheer physical strength and the use of sword intent, that\'s why he used broadswords and even then, they broke after a couple of fights and that was under the condition of not using annihilation.
In other words, before becoming a soul cultivator and being able to engrave runes in his swords, he was giving his enemies a handicap in that aspect, and the result of combining his already fierce fighting style with a proper treasure, was the attack he used back at the third trial.
So now everyone was forced to accept Aster wasn\'t only outstanding among the younger generation in Galatia, but even at the high ranked stellar systems, a genius should be able to be outstanding in all the scales, regardless of their starting point, that\'s something Lilia always prepared him from, because what would be the point in being a big fish in a small pond after all.
\'Show them darling, what is like to be a "dragon" among men~\', she thought before she snuggled on Aster\'s chest and closed her eyes to sleep.
Aster felt surprisingly tired, so although he did enter the mind space to spend some time with Rya, they only cuddled on their "love nest" at the highest point of Hyperion and enjoyed each other\'s company before going to sleep.
With each day that passed, Lilia\'s originally golden hair was changing into a silver tone, while her originally silver eyes became golden, she was starting to look a bit more like her younger self which Aster once had the chance to hold in his arms, a change that apparently started due to his soul becoming more and more powerful not only because he started cultivating it, but also thanks to Sarina becoming a star maiden.
While Aster caressed Rya\'s silky hair, he looked at her eyes and then kissed her forehead.
"With all this attention I\'m getting it should be easier for me to find the remaining materials… soon, I\'ll take you to a date in the real world", he whispered at her.
Rya felt her heart warm, leaving aside the fact that she doesn\'t have all her memory due to the damage done to her soul, as far as she remembers she hasn\'t been out of the mind space yet, so it\'s something she\'s expecting quite a bit.
"Mm~", with the permanent starry sky of the mind space as their witness, Aster and Rya fell asleep in the embrace of the other.
…
The morning at the Myriad Occupation sect was pretty much enjoyable for the vast majority, the main five cities of the planets were never asleep, as there were always disciples returning form their missions, people shopping or friends from different peaks meeting each other.
The only thing one wouldn\'t be able to find on the planets property of the sect was a red-light zone, the reason is very simple, the sect was and still is mostly female populated, and the best male cultivators in Galatia didn\'t join the Myriad Occupation sect, as they wouldn\'t be able to become core disciples from the start and instead would have to lose time slowly climbing until they were eligible to take the mission needed to become one, similar to what the grandson of the former law enforcer Ramon, planned to do.
Once the sun illuminated the area of the Twin Sword valley, Aster\'s biological clock made him slowly open his eyes, the very first thing reflected on his eyes was Rya\'s beautiful sleeping face.
Unlike the other girls, for some reason Rya normally wouldn\'t wake up before him, and Aster loved catching a glimpse of her defenseless sleeping face.
With a little grin, Aster gently brought Rya closer to him and then slowly started kissing her neck, making her giggle in her sleep until she woke up due to a warm and hard thing pressing against her belly.
Her pretty long eyelashes fluttered as she looked downwards and pressed her lips against Aster\'s.
"Don\'t you think it\'s a bit early to be so… energetic?", she mumbled with a charming blushed expression on her face.
Aster chuckled, and all of a sudden, his erection calmed down.
"I figured out you would for sure wake up as soon as you felt it".
Rya pouted and softly hit Aster\'s chest before she leaned her body against his.
"You are becoming quite daring with me, I remember that when we met you were even wary when I kissed you~".
"Well, you can\'t blame me, realizing I had a pretty girl with me all this time… even when I thought I was alone back at earth, was quite a shock for me", said Aster as he caressed her lower back, he then pecked Rya and got up the bed.
"Later tonight we\'ll try some of the clothes mom gave you".
Without letting Rya say anything, Aster disappeared from the mind space with a big smile on his face, leaving behind a speechless Rya.
"Like mother like son", she mumbled remembering the "clothes" Lilia bought for her, but her expectation betrayed her reproachful tone.
Once Aster woke up in the outside world, he was welcomed by the beautiful scene of all his girls cuddling with him some way or another, of course he noticed not all of them were really asleep as they already somehow learned to notice when he is about to sleep and even when they wake up, they just feign to be asleep.
Aster laughed and then started waking up the sleeping beauties, the first one today was none other than Lilia.
As always Lilia\'s soft lips were a pleasure, no matter how much he enjoys them, it\'s impossible to get tired of them, her compatibility with him has always been the highest, it always brought Aster a comforting sensation whenever he embraced her, the best way to describe it would be like the sensation of wrapping yourself in a soft blanket on a cold day, multiplied one hundred times.
"Good morning darling~", not to mention the rewarding bright smile in her beautiful face, resulting of said kiss.
Aster stole a second kiss from Lilia, before he continued with the others, since Aria was really asleep, she was next, in terms of sweetness Aria was the best, and that applied to every part of her body.
"Mm~", Aria\'s pretty eyes slowly opened while being kissed by her lover which made her softly moan while she enjoyed it, Aster let go of her and then continued with Alice because he could feel her intense gaze on him, since he started with Lilia instead of her.
Aster dragged her into his arms and after softly nibbling on her ear, he took her lips a bit forcefully, knowing she liked it that way, their tongues entangled and only when Alice\'s breathing became heavier, Aster stopped her before she got too serious.
Seeing her pout, Aster laughed and then fondled her ass, making her giggle.
"We have some things to do, but later you are mine", he whispered at her.
Leaving Alice who now seemed to be about to drool imagining all the fun she\'ll be having later, Aster then attended to the pair of mother and daughter which woke up only after him.
The best way to deal with it, was of course greeting them at the same time, Aster extended his arms towards them and dragged both Sarina and Kana into his arms.
Kana as energetic as always couldn\'t feign to be asleep and just rubbed her face against Aster\'s, while she looked at him with her big eyes.
"Good morning, big brother~".
Aster smiled back at her and pecked her cheek before he lifted her by her waist and placed Kana on his lap, to continue with her mother.
Aster poked Sarina\'s pretty nose before he kissed her, he couldn\'t help but teaser her with the fact that Kana was looking at them.
"As her mother shouldn\'t you teach Kana to wake up early", he whispered at her, making Sarina blush, it was a mutual understanding, that they would feign to be asleep so that Aster will spoil them first thing in the morning.
Aster felt amused by her reaction, but he stopped there, teasing Sarina was a bliss for his heart since she was so new to couple things, just like Aria back then.
Now that everyone was awake, they all dressed up and left the bedroom, Sarina and Kana went to prepare the breakfast, while the others went to the dining room, not even a couple of minutes later, Eris, Mylene and Camila joined them.
"Good morning you three, did you slept well?", asked Aster seeing Eris and Mylene were in a really good mood today.
"Yeah, I had forgot how it was to cultivate before going to sleep", said Eris as she took a seat on the table.
Mylene stretched her body and followed not too long after.
"Eris is right, the now that our meridians are receiving new spirit energy, it sure feels quite comfortable~".
"It\'s a bit hard to get use to such a spacious place, but the isolation formations make it easier for me to cut off the attraction of treasures, so it\'s quite nice".
Although Camila had condensed her natal treasure, in the battle peak planet there were better treasures and materials, so the attraction was stronger, if it wasn\'t for the fact that she became a Mortal Transcending she would have had to be literally clung onto Aster, to not be overwhelmed by her own\'s constitution ability.
Aster nodded, and stood up from his seat, it was near to the hour he gave to Agnes and there was someone knocking on the door, so it wasn\'t hard to guess who was it.
"Good morning, I brought a little dessert to share with you all~", outside of the door Agnes as well as Felicia, Tiana, Erick and Sofia waited for Aster to open the door for them.
Agnes even brought something.
"Come in, the breakfast is almost ready", said Aster as he invited them in.
Felicia went to give Sarina and Kana a little hand, while the others sat on the table.
Aster saw everyone chatting and laughing, it was a good breakfast with family and friends.
