Chapter 223 Soul Attack Technique (Part 1)
The inside of the auction house was as lively as ever, even when there wasn’t a big event, the auction house was still the place where everyone came to look for things that weren’t available in other stores.
Aster’s group immediately drew the attention of the staff, Aster was handsome and his aura was that of a noble, add to that the fact that all the girls around him were beautiful beyond words.
A girl from the staff immediately approached them with a bright smiling expression.
“Welcome to the Kraft auction house dear customers, is there something in special you are looking for?”.
Aster nodded.
“Yes, I want to see Wieland Kraft”.
The girl felt a bit weird hearing a youth calling the manager of the auction house and a stellar axys cultivator directly by his name, but she wasn’t stupid enough to not notice the noble aura that Aster radiated.
The girl humbly answered.
“Please give me a second to call lord Kraft… may ask this young master’s name?”.
“Aster Drage”.
Aster and the girls waited while the girls sent a message with her communication talisman, not even a few seconds passed before she got an answer that made her feel happy of having shown the proper respect towards Aster.
“Treat them as you treat me, and bring them to my office… I will personally attend to them”.
The poor girl felt her legs wobbling a bit, Wieland Kraft was known for not showing face even to the young masters of the big four families, and still he was going to personally attend the young man in front of her.
The girl respectfully pointed at some stairs at her right.
“Please this way”, she said as she guided them towards Wieland’s office, Kana curiously looked at the things on the showcases, but nothing caught her attention, Aster promised to gift her a sword like the ones he uses since she insisted, so she only looked at accessories and others trinkets but didn’t ask for anything.
A few moments later the door of room opened and that old man who left a good impression on Aster some years ago welcomed them, but there was a noticeable difference, his hair wasn’t half white like before and instead had a deep brown color making him look like a middle-aged man, despite his age which rounded the hundreds.
Aster and the girls entered and took seat on the couches which were displayed in the room, Wieland closed the door behind them and then occupied his seat behind his desk.
“Are you also leaving?”, asked Aster seeing that there were many missing things on the walls and a couple of metal chests next to Wieland’s desk.
Wieland nodded, with a slightly nostalgic expression.
“Yes, I got an invitation to the barbarian heart sect as a deacon, although I’m a bit on the older side, I recently broke through so my body is full of vigor again”.
Aster chuckled; this old man actually achieved something not even the patriarchs of the four families could… he reached the peak of the stellar axys realm.
“Three years, two realms, this old man probably suppressed his advance”, he thought, before putting the subject at the back of his mind.
Eris, Mylene and Sarina handed him some pieces of paper, he added his own to the bunch before he handed them to Wieland.
“I want you find these materials for me, as fast as possible, I will pay for the trouble of course”.
Wieland took the different lists and scrolled through them, the materials were quite numerous and there were some “rare” ones, but nothing outrageous, so he didn’t doubt before accepting the task, he was close to the Asher family, so he knew the young man in front of him had the Rodia star cluster at his disposition now, so being in Aster’s good books was a good idea.
“No problem, I should have everything by tomorrow’s evening, do you want me to send them to the Wolfstein castle”, Wieland said as he stole a couple of gazes at Camila.
Aster shook his head.
“No need, you received the invitation to the reunion programmed at the Ghale family didn’t you, I will also attend to it so I will see you there”.
Wieland nodded and then offered Aster to stay and look at the many things displayed on the showcases, but got rejected.
Originally Aster wanted to spend the whole day at Ghaleria, but since they left the Ghale family grounds, Aria has been a bit down, she didn’t even participate in the little fashion show earlier and the other girls perfectly understood how she felt.
If they were to return a bit later, she would have lost her “mother” a second time, Nadia practically took care of her since she was a little girl, so she wasn’t going to be at ease until she was sure, her wound was cured, she even only spoke with the old man Sebastian and postponed their meeting for tomorrow.
Aster wrapped his arm around her waist and dragged her closer to him, to comfort her, a gesture Aria deeply appreciated as she felt the warmness of her lover enveloping her.
That being said, while he was going to take Aria back to the castle, every girl was free to do whatever they wanted, so Aster still asked them.
“Ladies, I’m going to return with Aria to the castle, do you want to stay here or will you return with me?”.
Alice already had some take over from the fragrant pavilion so she wasn’t interested in anything else from Ghaleria, Sarina and Kana also were okay, they had to get ready to receive the teachings of the owner of the restaurant anyway.
Besides the materials they needed, Eris and Mylene weren’t interested in the things available in a low ranked place like the azure sky planet.
As for Lilia, she only cared to be near her son, she was happy they will return so she can try on some of the special “clothes” she bought only for Aster’s eyes.
Lastly Camila already had some fun with them, and now she wanted to return because there was someone she wanted to talk with.
Since there was no complains, Lilia waved her hand and they disappeared, after a couple of seconds they all noticed their surroundings changed from Ghaleria to the castle of the Wolfstein family.
The first one to say goodbye was Camila, she was lost in her thoughts as she left the east area where Aster and the girls are staying.
“I will be busy at noon, but if you don’t mind, I want to accompany you all for dinner”, she said before leaving.
The next ones where Eris and Mylene, they still wanted to recover more of their powers, although they calculated the elixir Aster gave them won’t help them recover all their cultivation, there was space for growth.
Alice went straight to the training room, she already broke through to the stellar constellation realm and unlike others, her cultivation was solid and stable, and probably thanks to all the “yang” she has received from Aster, she wanted to train her body.
“Like mother like daughter”, thought Aster seeing the beautiful back view of Alice as she left to the training room.
Sarina and Kana left to explore the garden of the castle to wait for the owner of the restaurant to arrive, Aria simply laid down on the bed to recover form the emotional roller coaster she went through.
Ultimately the only ones “left” inside the room were Aster and his mother, an opportunity Lilia of course took advantage of.
She left to the bathroom without saying a single word making Aster rose one of his brows.
“What is she up to now?”, he mumbled, before taking out the little crystal which Rya called a “spirit slip”, it was supposed to contain a soul attack technique.
The Rodia star cluster was a deserted isolated place so here he could easily cross realms to defeat stronger cultivators, even without using the powers of the star maidens, but now they will be leaving this place and will enter the outer world where people cultivate in two paths, and he wasn’t complacent enough to believe there weren’t talented people out there.
Aster was about to make a small cut to let out a drop of blood on the little crystal as Rya told him, when a melodious voice interrupted him.
“How do I look darling… is that a spirit slip?”.
Aster turned to see his mother and his eyes widened a bit, in front of him the beautiful scene of Lilia’s naked body was decorating the room, more accurately she was nearly bare naked, her nipples and vagina were covered by heart form pasties, giving her a really lewd appearance.
Even Rya inside the mind space blushed a bit.
“Come one can’t you have some shame, you dragon woman”, she said making sure Lilia could hear her.
Lilia stuck her tongue at Rya.
“You only say that because you haven’t seen the gifts I prepared for you, I bet my darling is going to love them”.
Aster patted his leg and Lilia immediately threw herself at him, the softness of her naked skin was a pleasure like always, but Aster didn’t let her get carried away.
“Be good and wait until night, I want to practice with the soul attack technique I got from Rya”, as he was saying that, his eyes couldn’t help but look at her naked body making him add.
“On the other hand, you can supervise me, just in case something happens while I cultivate”.
Lilia licked her lips and then hugged her son from behind before whispering.
“Don’t worry darling, I will make sure nothing “interrupts” you ♥”.
