Chapter 267 A Man Must Provide
Originally Aster was going to give one ring to each of the girls so that they checked their contents but, the first one he inspected was from one of the vice leaders and the contents were… gruesome, even Aster who considered himself indifferent felt disgusted.
Inside of the ring there were corpses, normally things inside a spatial ring don’t age nor decade unless the space inside starts to wear down, due to the pass of the years if not maintained spirit formations fade away after all.
But the bodies inside this spatial ring were inside of some kind of black wood coffins with crystal lids, all of them were of women of different ages and all of them were in a bad condition.
Seeing her son frowning, Lilia gently too away the ring from him and inspected the contents, after a couple of seconds she sighed.
“Once those women lost their “value” to the eyes of those bastards… they were killed, those coffins are made of low ranked demon birch tree, any kind of flesh will rot as long as it is stored inside creating death energy which is absorbed by the coffin turning it black, a resource for evil cultivators, also their corpses can be used to make puppets”.
“Rumble!”.
A cold light flashed through Aster eyes he was angry not because of the women inside, but because this could have been the fate waiting for Sarina if she wasn’t strong enough, in fact that could have been the fate of everyone who isn’t strong enough.
As Aster was about to burn the contents of the rings with Rigel’s flames as a way to at least give some peace to those poor women, Lilia stopped him from doing so.
“Wait darling, you can burn the corpses but leave the coffins, I know of a certain someone who can tell us who built them”.
Aster nodded, with a snap of his fingers the corpses inside the ring were consumed by blue flames, not even a second later they turned into thin dust which disappeared leaving only the black coffins intact.
Needless to say, but this ring was kept by Aster, Lilia observed her son being able to calm down even after imagining them being thrown into a similar situation and she proudly smiled.
“Taking down an evil sect, an achievement worthy of being claimed by my darling ♥”, she thought.
Leaving that tasteless ring, the other ones had some interesting stuff, a couple millions of spirit jades, which could sound like a lot, but considering the poor unstable cultivation base the mercenaries had, it was the savings of their lives.
Besides that, the rest were some low ranked treasures, spirit herbs, materials and some cultivation manuals from which Aster actually found a dual cultivation technique called “Yin depriving emblem”, basically it consisted in condensing a formation on the area above the navel.
Then by having sex with weaker partners the emblem will suck the yin energy of their bodies to replenish yang, in essence this technique allowed them to use women as resources, the problem was that it was such a low ranked manual that it caused side effects on the body.
Although they were able to advance faster reaching the peak of the star tribulation realm, their dantians were filled with impurities, not to mention the eerie aura around them caused by all the atrocities they did, while even the worst people could surpass their tribulation given the correct conditions, the impurities will block their meridians causing them to never be able to advance again.
The leader had a bottle of meridian cleansing pills inside his ring, a medicine of the stellar grade which even of the worse quality, could help those below the genesis manifestation realm to expel impurities.
“So that’s how he became a mortal transcending cultivator”, thought Aster as he threw the pills in the mind space, if his girls were to ever need something to clean their bodies, his blood… and probably his sperm given the huge vitality and yang contained on it, would have a better effect.
After inspecting all the things Aster didn’t find anything that caught his interest, so he kept the spirit jades and materials for spirit blacksmithing for himself.
“Now that I think about it, there is no spirit blacksmith in the family”, he mumbled, currently he had teachers for rune mastering and alchemy in the form of Eris and Mylene, Camila too was a rune master, but he was for inclined to the spirit blacksmithing profession, since he was the only one that could create weapons for him.
Aster then remembered he still had some experiments he wanted to try now that he had soul energy, but since there was still a couple of days before they leave, he decided to leave it for later.
“I guess, I won’t get bored while we are travelling to the barbarian heart sect”, he thought.
Besides what he kept, the materials for rune mastering like spirit inks, brushes, paper prepared for talismans and books of the pertinent subject were given to Eris, spirit herbs, fire crystals and other miscellaneous equipment for alchemy were handed to Mylene, as for the low ranked treasures they were “candies” for Camila which at first didn’t want to accept them.
“I’m also a rune master, while my ability probably won’t amount to too much in front of miss Eris, I can still create talismans and sell them… I don’t want to be a dead weight”.
Unfortunately for her, she had no choice but to accept after Alice giggled before saying in a playful voice as she hugged Aster’s right arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.
“Why are you hesitating, in a family the man must provide, our job is to always be here to support Aster, but how can you help if you are weak, if you feel in debt, you can always look for a way to “thank him” hehehe”.
Feeling the weird gazes piercing her from all the directions, Camila accepted the treasures and after nodding at Aster and saying good night to everyone she excused herself as she had to absorb their properties which would probably take her all the night.
Lilia inwardly smirked as she saw from the corner of her eyes the slight reddish tone in Camila’s neck.
“I wonder why my darling tends to “catch” the shy type quite a bit”, she thought staling a gaze at Aria and Sarina before simply retaining her usual calm smiling expression.
Eris and Mylene didn’t think that much about it, both of them had now some attachment with Aster’s family, and they knew Alice like to tease others as soon as the opportunity appeared.
Eris still wanted to speak with Aster about how he stored all those spirit rings before, as her curiosity was killing her, but recognizing the way Lilia was looking at Aster right now, she decided to also leave the room.
“I will also excuse myself, good night to everyone”, she said as she left the room, Mylene wisely followed her immediately as things seemed to be a bit spicy for Aster and the other girls today.
But she was wrong, tomorrow was Alice and Aria’s date so they were “saving” it for later, as for Sarina she still had a tingly sensation in her pussy due to their previous sensation improved love making session back there at the silver star lake, Aster already explained why it was like that.
Of course, she was happy after knowing that having the same soul constitution had such a marvelous effect, but she was a bit wary of having sex without being prepared for the overwhelming pleasure that it will bring her, earlier she literally fainted after all, so now the only thing she wanted was to have a good night of sleep.
The only one which was always ready for the action was of course Lilia, but ignoring the charming gaze she was giving him, Aster wrapped his arms around Sarina and Kana and let his body fall down face up on the bed, of course he left the middle spot free for her, an invitation she happily accepted.
Kana’s little body cutely snuggled in Aster’s embrace, she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep, which made Sarina bitterly smile.
“This little sleepyhead girl”, she thought, but seeing Aster tightening his arms around both of them she smiled and did the same, as for Lilia she pouted feeling a bit left aside, of course she knew that wasn’t the case, but her dragon instincts told her to keep her position as the main “mate”.
Which made her smirk, she could now suppress the violent part of the excitement episodes, but the horny part wasn’t that easy to control, specially because she loved Aster… a bit too much regardless of what her bloodline made her feel.
Still, she kept a calm expression as Aster turned out the lights, and they all went to sleep, not without giving each of them a good night kiss as it was one of the rules of the family.
Aster didn’t immediately fell asleep, instead he entered the mind space as there was one last girl which required some of his attention today.
He flew towards hid bedroom at the highest point of Hyperion and there he found Rya leisurely laying on the bed, wearing a semi-transparent nightgown which didn’t cover the light pink buds in her chest and the beautiful flower between her legs.
Aster couldn’t help but gulp, normally Rya doesn’t take the initiative to seduce him, but apparently Lilia isn’t the only one feeling slightly jealous of him improving his relationships with the other girls.
He chuckled and jumped to the bed landing right next to Rya as he hugged her from behind placing his hands on her belly, the soft comfortable feeling of the silky nightgown and her fair skin was a delight.
“Hmm~”, Rya softly moaned feeling Aster’s touch but she quickly bit her lips to contain her voice.
“Ohh… we are playing “hard to get” today huh?”, he whispered to her ears before gently biting her earlobes, then kissing her neck, his hands didn’t laze around, he caressed her soft body, starting from her shoulders and advancing towards her huge pair of breasts.
Aster skillfully fondled her breasts, since Rya now recovered a bit more after he broke through, she felt more “real” than before, so it was like doing it with her for the first time again.
While Aster was enjoying this “new” Rya, in the outside world after confirming that all the others were completely asleep, a pair of bright red pupils glowed in the dark room, while this would have probable been scary in other cases, the gaze in the red eyes was not only filled with tender love but also desire.
Rya moved her hand downwards until it touched the large hot thing which immediately reacted to her touch, getting bigger and harder.
“Time for a midnight snack”, mumbled Lilia as she licked her lips.
