While Aster and the girls were relaxing in their room, in the control cabin everyone was busy, Ritz was sitting in a big throne like seat which was placed in a high platform in the middle of the cabin.
“We have important guests today, so let’s make this an easing relaxed travel understood!!!”.
All the staff that were supervising the different parameters of the ship replied.
“YES SIR”.
Ritz nodded, it took him a long time to train his staff to be as efficient as they are right now and he was proud of the results, he still remembers that the first they he met them he had to beat some sense into them and after a lot of work he managed to transform them into a respectable crew, in fact that’s why the patriarch of the barbarian heart sect left Eric into his care hoping that Ritz might be able to train him, needless to say that it didn’t work.
He shook his head, “that brat is going to cause my death someday I swear, still to think he would befriend the son of a sea knowledge cultivator that happened to be taking a rest in such an isolated place like the Rodia star cluster… fate is unpredictable I guess”, he thought.
Eric bragged a lot about his new friend, “he is awesome, no one on his range of age could be his match” and things like that were the only words that Ritz heard for a long time until, so it was not a surprise for him when Eric told him that he was going to invite his friend to team up with him in the secret realm exploration.
If Ritz has learned something about Eric after getting to know him was that he wouldn’t take a “no” as an answer so he left him do whatever he wanted, contrary to all his expectations the friend Eric spoke so much about turned to be just like he was described, Aster didn’t bother to hide his real age from Eric nor his cultivation realm but Ritz didn’t believe Eric until he met him a few moments ago.
“11 years old, early stage of the star formation realm… what a monster”, that was Ritz new impression of Eric’s friend.
Not even that, since the very first moment Ritz caught a glimpse of the woman that Eric told him was the mother of his friend, he felt a slight bit of her pressure and he was sure she was way stronger than him, even the patriarch of the barbarian heart sect who reached the middle stage of the sea of knowledge realm didn’t make him feel so intimidated, so his supposition was that Lilia was a peak sea of knowledge cultivator.
Of course, he could only feel it because Lilia on purpose let out a bit of her pressure directed only at Ritz, as a warning “don’t look down on my precious son”, however she made sure to only reveal at most a sea of knowledge realm prowess, to not cause too much of a ruckus.
And it worked, on the other hand there was also another good reason as to why Ritz didn’t think that Lilia was above the sea of knowledge realm, the Atria family who were in charge of this stellar system didn’t allow any non-native genesis manifestation cultivator or above to enter low ranked star clusters to keep a relatively good public order and how could have he known that he was in presence of the princess of the Drage family who ruled the whole heavenly quadrant.
On Ritz defense, only the rulers of the stellar systems knew about what the surname Drage represented, so it was normal for someone who belonged to a hegemonic force of a low rank star cluster like him to make such a supposition.
Ritz came out of his daze when they finally left the atmosphere of the azure sky planet, all the spirit formations engraved in the floor and walls of the space ship glowed in a dim blue light for a moment before returning to their “inactive state”, one of the crew members stood from his position and reported.
“All the parameters are okay sir!!!”.
Ritz nodded and everyone returned to their respective positions, back on Aster’s room a little spirit lamp turned on to indicate that everyone was free to leave their rooms and enjoy the view or rest in the common area.
Maybe because they were born in a world where humans can fly but none of the girls were too interested in seeing the outer space at least not as much as Aster so they stayed in the room while he walked to the common area to look through the reinforced windows on the lateral walls of the space ship.
Aster was marveled at the scenery he was seeing, a vast predominantly black space, with an innumerable number of lights of different colors that represented various types of celestial bodies, back on earth going to space was reserved to only a very specific group of people so it never crossed his mind that someday he will be traveling to another planet in a space ship.
He suddenly laughed a bit at himself, “well, I also never imagined I would have a so many girls as my lovers and… that both my mother and sister will be among them”, he thought.
Rya who was observing from the mind space added.
“Don’t forget the book twins and me ♥”.
Aster smiled.
“Unfortunately, on these past years even when I used the information network of both the Rein and Asher families thanks to Kail and Eric, I wasn’t able to find any of the materials on the list you gave me… but very soon I will be migrating to a better star cluster, so I hope you are prepared for a good spiritual love making session hahaha”.
Rya had a complex smile on her face.
“You pervert master, instead of thinking on that focus on surpassing your star tribulation… so I can tell you more about us”, she though before answering.
“Good luck, any of those materials are really hard to come by nowadays though”.
“Fortune favors those who have a goal to reach no matter what, and making love to a beauty like you surely falls within those parameters”, Aster thought.
After admiring the outer space for almost one hour one of the crew members advised him to return to his room because they will be arriving at Zartia soon, he returned to the room and noticed that the girls were previously having some kind of secret conversation, Alice was smiling from ear to ear while Aria didn’t look too convinced about whatever they were speaking before he entered the room.
…
Lilia stood from the bed and hugged Aster.
“My darling will be having his first adventure as a cultivator, how about mommy forces the entrance of the secret realm to go with you?”.
Aster had weird expression on his face, if she said it then it was probably doable for her.
Alice listened her interests being “threatened”, and she immediately argued.
“Hey, that’s not fair mom, besides is only a secret realm on a low-level planet, there will be plenty of things to do together as family later but… I have been waiting for this during three years!!!”.
Aster nodded.
“Sis is right mom, this will be a good experience for the future, on any case the rest of the competitors are only in the star formation realm, so bringing you along will be an overkill, mm to be honest only me and sis are already a bit too much”.
Alice “stole” her brother from Lilia’s arms and leaned her body against him.
“That’s right we’ll be the stronger pair of siblings and lovers that will exist ♥”.
She might be saying it as a joke but it was true that on this three years Alice did make a big progress on her cultivation, 15 years old, on energy cultivation she has reached the peak of the star formation realm, regarding body cultivation she managed to achieve the body solidification, in fact she could have easily breakthrough to the stellar constellation realm but… she would not have been able to enter the secret realm with Aster so she on purpose delayed her advance and instead focused on body cultivation.
But Aria was not going to be left behind, since she awakened her body constitution she saw a huge difference in her cultivation speed, an 18 years old peak stellar constellation realm and although it took her a lot of trouble, she reached the spirit opening and that’s how their rivalry started.
Since that moment Alice and Aria became training partners and up to this moment, they were tied on the number of matches won, Alice was completely focused on offensive which allowed her to win the firsts fights but after that, Aria learned how to use her ice for crowd control and after that none of them managed to come out on top from that point onwards.
Lilia sighed.
“Fine, it will be only a couple of weeks at most…”.
Although she said that, it was clear as day that she was not convinced at all by leaving her son separate from her for “such a big amount of time”, unlike when he was staying in Ghaleria, communication talismans would not work to contact people outside a secret realm.
Aster patted Alice’s shoulder and she stopped hugging him, he dragged Lilia into his embrace and pressed his lips against hers.
“It won’t be too much time, take care of yourself and Aria while I’m not here, okay?”.
Lilia kissed him repeatedly.
“Okay, but you will have to make up for it once this is over ♥”.
“Mm?”, Aster felt a small tug on the left corner of his sleeve.
He turned his head and saw Aria giving him a gaze that reminded him the one of a little puppy asking for attention.
While having his right arm wrapped around his mother’s waist, he extended his left arm which Aria immediately accepted, since he won’t be seeing them for some time a good farewell was needed.
“Hnnn♥”, both Lilia and Aria let out a little moan, feeling Aster’s hands fondling their asses.
He sealed Aria’s mouth with a kiss which would have been longer but he had to stop because he heard Eric’s voice outside of the room.
“Brother we are here!!!”.
Both Lilia and Aria accommodated her clothes which were a bit messy and as if they previously discussed it, each one of them hugged one of his arms.
Alice wanted to complain but Aria stopped her with a single phrase.
“You will have him for yourself for a long time so right now, he is ours”.
Alice could only accept her defeat this time.
“Humph, these two agreed with my idea but now they are acting as if I was the villain here, when we come out, I want to see their jealous faces when they see my brother being more affectionate with me ♥”.
