Chapter 593  A treasure’s allure (part 1)

Still, Aster was sure that she wasn't going to miss her date tomorrow, so he let her rest in preparation, naturally after such a long day playing with those two little girls, Aster allowed himself to be spoiled by Lilia and the others, until it was time to go to sleep.

By the time Aster and the others went to their bedroom, they found the little girl and the little snake were happily sleeping in a random position, which made them softly laugh before they laid down on the bed carefully as to not wake them up.

Another interesting thing, which explained Lilia's especially good mood despite she not being the one who won the sorting to see who was next, is that she finally got one over Sarina in the food wars.

It was more of a tie though, so today the "pillows" were actually Alice and Aria, while Lilia and Sarina shared the main spot laying on top of Aster.

Of course, given how… "big" those two were, Aster was basically sandwiched between their ample chests, not that he minded, in fact he placed his hands on their slim waists and fell asleep quite fast.

"Mom, that's not fair…", mumbled Alice as she accommodated to use her body as apillow for her beloved brother.

"Yeah, we aren't participating in your competition", added Aria with an unconvinced voice.

"Don't look at it as a punishment, you two always hug Aster's arms, so a change of angle isn't bad from time to time~", cutely said Lilia, for a change Sarina nodded, agreeing with her.

"Mm, we also want to see Aster's face first thing in the morning", she added.

With those four exchanging excuses to have Aster for themselves for the next half an hour, the day at the valley reached its end, the lights were turned off and a peaceful silence reigned over the castle, at least on the surface.

There was one room which was still pretty illuminated, it was Mylene's room, where a certain group of girls had gathered, besides the owner of the room, in other words Mylene, there was Eris, Camila and surprisingly Alexandra had joined them.

Naturally the subject of today's slumber party, was Camila's date which was a hot subject among the girls who weren't Aster's lovers as of current.

"Are dates really that fun, don't get me wrong, I know he isn't a bad guy and all and I will probably be unable to repay him for saving my mother but still, I don't understand why you all look so eager to win that sort thing, you aren't lovers… right?", said Alexandra as she took a sip of her cup of tea.

Eris, Mylene and Camila stared at the other and softly giggled.

"Ah, the obliviousness of being a newcomer", jokingly said Eris, while the other two nodded at unison.

"Is it okay for you to say that though, if I remember correctly you "belong" to Aster~", said Mylene, one of the things that made it easy for Alexandra to open up with Mylene was that the way they joined the group was "similar", Mylene was supposed to be Aster's family servant.

And technically Alexandra volunteered for a similar position in exchange for her mother being cured, of course neither of them were treated like that, but the point is that their first impressions with Aster were troublesome to say the least.

"Cough!", Alexandra nearly spilled her tea when she listened to Mylene mocking her, which made the others softly laugh at her, the one to answer her question was Camila herself.

"The answer to your question is "because is fun", something we all agree on is that there is no pressure when hanging out with Aster, you can relax and lower your guard around him".

"Well, lowering your guard too much is also dangerous but not in the usual way", added Mylene which made Camila blush.

A slightly curious light flashed through Alexandra's eyes, she admired Agnes and seeing her be in such a happy mood after her date with Aster, it would be a lie to say she didn't feel curious about it.

"Speaking of which, tell us, what do you have in store for tomorrow, Cami!", exclaimed Eris.

"Yes, a little bird told us you got quite bold in your previous date, so you set the bar a bit too high~", said Mylene.

…

Leaving aside the small slumber party that went on for a couple of hours, before each girl went to their respective room, the rest of the night went on pretty much uneventful and soon the moon was replaced by the sun and day came to the Battle Planet once again.

Having had a good night of sleep, Aster woke up fresh as a lettuce, that being said he was met with darkness, despite the fact that he had already opened his eyes, but it was comfy and enjoyable darkness, as it was caused by his head being buried between two large pairs of motherly breasts.

Though Aster would have loved to spent the rest of the day like this, he could feel there was a certain girl whose nervousness could be felt even through the distance, probably because of the connection between their lineages.

Aster chuckled and then patted those two's large butts, because they were hugging him too tightly, so it was basically impossible to squeeze himself out of their embrace, but neither Lilia nor Sarina moved at all.

'Hoh, joining hands to plot against your husband I see', said Aster through the mind connection, making sure only Lilia and Sarina could hear him.

Judging by their low giggles, it was obvious they were already awake but weren't letting Aster go until they got what they wanted, Aster smirked and then firmly squeezed Sarina's plump ass, while he sucked onto Lilia's right nipple which was exposed due to her sleeping braless and her clothes being slightly messy due to her pressing her body against Aster while being asleep.

"Mmm~", those two let out some cute sounds in unison, their tight embrace loosened up and Aster took the chance to "break free" from their imprisonment, he then leaned down and kissed both Lilia and Sarina's pretty lips a couple of times, which made those two smile and then move aside for Aria and Alice to have their morning kiss.

It was easy for Aster to see that Alice and Aria were still a bit bitter for not being able to hold onto his arms like normal, that being said, their unconvinced expressions were quite cute.

"Come here you two", he said, Alice and Aria's eyes opened instantly, they stared at each other before they jumped towards Aster, pressing him down onto the bed, before they took turns to kiss him.

Only after a few dozens of kisses they had enough and let go of Aster to return to sleep, Aster chuckled and then jumped out of the bed, he gently pecked the little girl and the little snake's foreheads, since they were still soundly asleep, before he went to the bathroom.

Since Camila was taking her time to prepare for their date, Aster had time to take a nice shower and change his clothes, even after all that, the shy treasure girl hadn't left her room yet.

Aster came out of his room, only to see two pairs of eyes curiously peeking from their slightly open doors, they belonged to Eris and Mylene who were waiting to see the moment Camila came out of her room.

"For having gone to sleep quite late, you two are quite lively so early in the morning", jokingly said Aster, of course those two didn't answer since they were feigning to not be here, which he found rather amusing.

Leaving aside those two aside, Aster knocked on the door which opened almost on the spot, to reveal a Camila who was in the middle of finishing her preparations for her date, to be more accurate she was still combing her pretty long auburn hair, while the upper buttons of her blouse were open.

"Could you two stop sending me messages, if you are that free come and help me choose what looks the best on… Aster", Camila stood there in a daze, until she heard Eris and Mylene giggling at her.

"Why would you need us when you can ask the one whose eyes will be sweetened by the result~", said Mylene.

"You are welcome", added Eris.

As if those two have just waited for this to happen, they closed the doors of their rooms and their presences vanished, meaning they have left the nearby area to go to their beds.

Aster saw Camila's cute blushed face and he chuckled, she was quite clumsy when it came to things like this, but that was something good, at least for him since he quite enjoyed teasing her.

"You know, I'm starting to believe you are into this, not that I'm complaining", he jokingly said.

Camila's face exploded in red, she closed the door as if her life depended on it, not without yelling.

"Don't look!".

Aster couldn't help but laugh, he leaned his back against the door to then say.

"Don't be like that, I might not look like it but I have a nice eye for girl's clothes", Aster wasn't bluffing, he has always been surrounded by girls after all, maybe Lilia and the others weren't fashion obsessed, but they took Aster to the merchant district and had him look at they choosing a new outfit every now and then.

"…", after a moment of silence, the door actually opened as Camila mumbled.

"Fine you can come in".

Aster had to admit that he didn't expect Camila to invite him, it's not like he was going to do something to her in any case, but to think that Camila actually asked him to enter after those two teased her like that, it was a bold move from the treasure girl.

Anyway, Aster didn't hesitate, and slightly pushed the door to enter the room, closing it behind of him, what welcomed him was the sight of Camila's perfectly neat room, for Aster it was obvious she had a lot of stuff laying on the ground till a second ago, since she was trying different outfits earlier.

He even caught a glimpse of different sets of underwear, when she opened the door due to Eris and Mylene setting her up, but he didn't bring it, Camila's little heart was already racing as it is after all.

Speaking of Camila, she was sitting near the edge of her bed, her pretty face was still slightly reddish but she was more relaxed that before, probably because her blouse was now perfectly buttoned and all, her outfit was relatively simple, but it perfectly fit her.

She was using an azure blue skirt, combined with a long sleeved white blouse, her pretty long auburn hair cascaded down all the way to her hips and laid on the bed around her.

Something Camila had in common with Agnes is that she also doesn't expose much skin, however, while Agnes had a much sportsy and valiant vibe kind of style, Camila's charm is more of the meek kind.

Originally, she dressed like this because she didn't want to get more unwanted attention from Isaac, but now she uses these clothes with pleasure after being complimented by not only the others but also Aster, after all from his point of view, there is nothing that fits a girl better than something she feels comfortable with.

Of course, there are some exceptions, for example if those lewd dragon mother and sister of his were allowed to, they'll probably be naked around him all the time, or wear some really provocative clothes just to tease him, but that's beside the point.

"So, how do I look…", she mumbled, Aster could hear her heartbeat accelerating while she waited for his answer, which he found cute, of course how could he miss the chance to tease her.

Aster "meticulously" observed Camila from head to toe without stopping at any moment, as if he was carefully evaluating her, before giving his verdict.

"Mm, I can't decide between stunning or perfect, here let me help you with your hair", he said as he approached Camila and took the jade comb she was holding, to then gently fix a few bangs of her hair which she missed due to how fast the fixed her room and then finished dressing to let him enter her room.

Camila saw Aster combing her hair up-close and her heart fluttered, during the slumber party with those three, Eris and Mylene challenged her to get back at Aster by teasing him, since he does that with all of them, which she accepted, she even invited him into her room and was planning to change clothes a couple of times to give him a little fashion show.

She didn't imagine that Aster was going to directly tell her that what she was using was perfect, and not only that but he even helped her fix her hair, such an intimate act was too much for her young maiden's heart, despite it being completely innocent.

'Uhhh, why am I the one who is feeling shy, when he is the one that was invited into a girl's room!', she screamed in her heart, just to see Aster softly smiling at her, which made her realize her whole "scheme" was easily seen through by the perverted dragon youth.

"Lascivious dragons…", she mumbled with a pout, Aster chuckled and then grabbed a hand mirror from her nightstand to let her see her now perfectly combed hair.

Listening to Camila mumbling some things, Aster inwardly laughed as he thought.

'You are still a few years early to tease me, it was a good try though, so a little reward is needed'.

Aster extended his hand towards Camila to then say.

"I wouldn't mind staying here the whole day, but we have some things to do first, so should we get going?".

"Mm~", Camila nodded and then after a second of hesitation, she allowed Aster to take her hand to help her get up, before she held onto his arm, Aster didn't tease her more, he instead used his authority and they soon disappeared from her room.

Unknown to Camila, her act of inviting Aster into her room was witnessed by a certain possessive dragon mother, and immediately communicated via mental connection with the other Star Maidens.

But right now, it wasn't the time for that, the scenery changed from the perfectly neat inside of Camila's room to an open area with an overall tense atmosphere, which Camila perfectly recognized.

How could she forget the place where she "kissed" a boy for the first time, sure it was a very light peck on the cheek, but it was still the first time she did it, not to mention she had quite a lot of fun in the Treasure Planet back then, so she easily recognized it.

That being said, seeing Aster's smirk, she had a bad premonition, which was proven right as he guided her through the city where they have appeared.

The Treasure Planet had very few permanent settlements, the one in which the auction house was built, is one of them, since that is the only auction house that tended to disciples in the sect, besides the yearly events held during the holydays of the sect, where the rewards to the top ten disciples of the Heavenly Rankings are given among other things.

However, since treasures and resources are abundant in the Treasure Planet, not to mention there are things that were brough personally by the Ancestors from their high ranked Stellar Systems, which were discovered either by luck or depending on the schedule prepared by one of Aster's godmothers and the elder Mikaela from the White Sword faction.

Temporary cities randomly appear from time to time, however their existence isn't promoted by the sect, which is the first filter, to make sure that only those with enough information gathering means find their way to said places.

'I have to give it to that girl, I can't imagine how she manages to be always informed', thought Aster referring to a certain receptionist, which he had to pay a visit to, later not only because of his next mission, but as a thanks for providing him with valuable information of many kinds, like the existence of this city which had some interesting activities which were perfect for his date with Camila.

For starters, Aster brought Camila to the sole restaurant of the city, which was naturally quite crowned, even then, despite the large number of disciples and deacons which were allowed to participate, as long as they haven't surpassed the early stage of the Mortal Transcending realms, all their attention was drawn towards the newcomers.

For a good reason though, as the one entering through the door was no other than the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley, who basically declared war to anyone that decided to get in his way, and he was accompanied by a breathtaking beauty which was normal, but that didn't make it less impressive.

Aster could feel the jealousy from the male disciples and deacons, but he ignored them, Camila on the other hand, was met with admiration, curiosity and a bit of envy by the female disciples of the multiple peaks and factions.

Of course, there were people from the factions that were hostile with Aster, but after what he did to Edward, they didn't dare to openly show hostility in front of him.

It didn't escape Camila's eyes that this time, Aster didn't use those masks for them to hide their identities, but she didn't say anything, she didn't admit it but she felt a strange sensation of happiness when she saw those girls envy her.

Aster took Camila to one of the free tables, and they sat next to the other, unlike normal restaurants, there were no waiters or other staff, besides guards and elders from the White Sword faction stationed here and there.

Before Camila could ask what was going on, words appeared on the tables, explaining what was the deal with this place.

"Welcome to the "Hidden Treasure Banquet", for the next hour, a large table with different dishes will be offered for all the participants, there is no limit to the plates one can take, however once taken that same participant must eat it, direct fights aren't and spirit sense aren't allowed, enjoy".

Once Camila finished reading the message, she gave Aster an accusatory gaze, which made the latter smile.

"Don't look at me like that, isn't it funnier like this, besides what kind of fool wouldn't want to enjoy the bliss of having a lucky charm at his side".

Camila's face reddened a bit as she mumbled.

"Dummy…", however her bright smile didn't match her words.
