For the rest of the night Rya limited herself to enjoy the caresses of Aster, while normally she would also actively participate, tonight she felt like being spoiled, needless to say but Aster was happy to oblige.

Surprisingly, besides some kisses and touches here and there, Rya asked him to stop, apparently the change in her soul affected her more than what she expected, and now she was even more sensitive than usual.

As a proof of that just by a superficial massage on the petals of her flower she climaxed not too long ago, in any case Aster didn’t mind “devouring” her once again later, in fact it was better like that as he had an idea he wanted to try later.

And just like that, Rya cuddled with Aster and they both went to sleep, practically at the same time Lilia returned from the bath and she snuggled into her son’s embrace as she entered the land of dreams.

Aster did the same while imagining the day where he will be able to hold both Lilia and Rya in his arms at the same time, he noticed that unlike Alice and Aria who just liked to argue with each other but in reality, didn’t mean what they said, his mother and Rya truly aimed for the throat of the other, figuratively of course.

He stole one last gaze at Rya’s body in his embrace, he tightened his grip on her ass, making her mumble some things in her sleep without waking her up.

After that he closed in eyes and went to sleep, while Aster was enjoying the company of the girls both physically and mentally, in the room right besides his, Camila was sitting cross-legged on her bed.

Tons of treasures were spread around her body as she absorbed their properties creating more drops of the copper-colored liquid, since she got the Radiant Treasure Aura manual, she has been focusing in refining the copper liquid into the silver liquid, but no matter how many treasures she deprived form their properties, the small stain of silver liquid in her dantian didn’t noticeably increase.

Aster already handed her the worn-out tip of spear as the little thing kept fighting to go with her, and when she tried to take the properties from it not only, she failed, but the wolf tattoo in her upper back glowed and before she noticed the thing was gone.

And no matter how much she tried, the tip of the spear didn’t come out, leaving her feeling scammed, specially because now, she developed a sensation of “hunger”, past a certain amount of time she had to absorb a treasure or two or she would feel uncomfortable, the other option was to absorb a lot which will quell that sensation or be near Aster all the time, but the latter was discarded as he had other things to do outside the castle.

“Phew!”, Camila suddenly stopped what she was doing and after exhaling she let her body fall backwards on the bed.

“This should be enough… the second page it’s starting to loosen up, with all the things he gifted me, I should be able to unlock it by the end of this week”.

“A man must provide for his family, our job is to be there to support him, huh?”, she couldn’t help but reflect on Alice’s words, cultivators weren’t like that at all, in her not that long life she has experienced quite a few things, the death of her mother not too long after she was born, and the death of her father not too long after she became an adult.

She explored a lot of places, had her own small fortunate encounters, got betrayed by the ones that were supposed to be her comrades and then she had to deal with Isaac, the conclusion she reached was quite simple, “don’t trust”, besides her aunt and uncle who took care of her, she remained wary of others.

Then a certain day a fairy descended from the sky, the most beautiful woman she has ever seen in her life, one that she had the “ridiculous” feeling, that if she wanted to could have vanished the whole planet with a single thought… and Isaac tried to hit on her.

But contrary to what she expected, Lilia didn’t destroy him on the spot, in fact she even offered a compensation in exchange for blood of her Wolfstein family.

Previous to Alice’s birth, Camila lived with the constant fear that one day Isaac would do something stupid enough which will cause the disappearance of the family, then when Lilia had Alice, she brought a gift and that day she discarded all her worries.

“Thanks, Camila”, Lilia accepted her gift after saying those single words, her expression was calm, as she tenderly looked at the little baby girl in her arms.

That gaze which he hasn’t seen in the eyes of any other people, besides her father, aunt and uncle of course, for benefits she witnessed couples trying to kill each other, sworn brothers stabbed from the back by those who swore to live and die with them, in other words she knew the cold and cruel reality of the world.

And yet she couldn’t imagine Lilia ever doing something like that, and she was right, because that very same day was when Lilia exploded against her father.

Since the baby wasn’t a boy and even didn’t have both traits of the Drage like Lilia, he asked her to arrange the political marriage she rejected before, “for the sake of the family”.

Lilia’s father underestimated the love his daughter had for the little girl which was born just a few hours ago, Lilia’s answer were three simple words said in an imposing manner, “Go ** yourself”.

That was also the day where Lilia’s inner demon finally started affecting her, but it unfortunately went unnoticed until she was pregnant with Aster.

Anyway, Camila discarded Lilia as an anomaly a continued with her life, Isaac kept drowning in carnal pleasure and doing those useless plots, which ultimately turned to be what ended his life.

And just when she thought a disaster was about to fall on her Wolfstein family, she saw that same gaze once again, but this time it was in the eyes of the “executor” which had the fate of her and all the planet in his hands, the difference with Lilia was that he also showed extreme hatred towards those who tried to mess with him or the other many women that surrounded him.

After that, as if it was orchestrated by a major power, she ended up joining Lilia and her son, and now she got to experience what a true family was once again, giving without asking for anything in return, being surrounded by people that cares for you and the like, it was a warm feeling.

Something which made her want to contribute with the little power she had, the problem was that she witnessed Aster’s prowess, in just a few days he achieved miracle after miracle, he helped a mortal transcending cultivator to be born in a star cluster which hasn’t even seen the birth of a star tribulation cultivator in dozens of thousands of years.

And then it was when she asked herself, “What can I do for him?”, and that same day as if it was feeling her current emotions, the second page of her manual started showing signs of loosening up.

Camila sighed feeling a bit frustrated, she closed her eyes and accommodated on her bed, as she mumbled half sleep, “Look for a way to thank him”, she fell asleep without noticing the slight glowing silver light in the eyes of the wolf’s tattoo.

At the same time at the rooms in front of Camila’s, Eris and Mylene were chatting while eating some snacks, these two have developed the habit of having sleepovers, their days consisted in meditating alone and refine Aster’s blood to recover as most as possible, play with Kana and practice their respective professions.

And then at night they would talk with each other about their progress and other things, Eris saw Mylene leisurely laying on the couch in front of her bed while she ate some small cookies and her lips trembled as she endured the urge to laugh at her.

“What, are trying to pick up a fight with me, flower girl?”, said Mylene in a playful voice.

Eris felt a vein popping on her neck, Lilia once called her that and in a random talk she mentioned it, so now Mylene used that as her nickname when they were alone, just to mess with her.

But then she stole a gaze at the necklace which decorated Mylene’s neck and she smirked before getting back at her.

“My relationship with Aster’s family is equally, so technically you are my servant too you know, maybe I should make you sweep and mop the castle without the help of your cultivation”.

Mylene nearly choked with the cookie she was munching, but instead of getting angry or something like that, they both exchanged gazes before they started laughing.

“Sigh, who would have thought we who have pointed a sword at each other would end up, becoming friends”, said Mylene, while she still was dealing with the complex sensation of being trapped in that isolated galaxy, from the bottom of her heart she was happy to have met Aster and solving the misunderstandings between her and Eris.

Eris nodded, now that she was living this “mundane” existence, she now envied the people of this mortal plane, or at least she envied the girls in Aster family, having the certainty of don’t needing to watch your back around other people was quite a refreshing sensation.

Also, while being here, they wouldn’t get bored as more often than what they would like, Aster ended surprising them somehow, being the most recent that capacity to nearly create some of the energy they needed to cultivate.

Something which should have been impossible and yet they saw it with their own eyes, and that wasn’t all, that way to just make things appear and disappear without causing any waves in the space was also incredible.

They both stopped laughing and Mylene hesitated for a split of a second before saying what was in her mind.

“Say Eris, when we return… are you going to stay with your family or will you stay in this little group?”.

Eris frowned, to be honest she hasn’t thought about it, there was a long way before that anyway, so she was a bit confused about why Mylene would ask her that, but then she was surprised by the realization that she couldn’t immediately answer her.

There was still a couple of persons which she truly appreciated in her family, people in which she trusts and yet she didn’t immediately choose them over her current lifestyle.

Having gotten the reaction she expected, Mylene also nodded as she giggled.

“I have been thinking about it lately, but there is something about “him” that makes you feel comfortable, not only with him but also the others that surround him… also it’s impossible to get bored around him”.

Without knowing the three girls which were part of the group but not of the family, were being naturally assimilated into it, as they enjoyed the “benefits” of being part of it, something which they would notice in the future, but that is a story for another day.
