Besides the little fort which was now destroyed, there were also some spaceships leftovers since there weren’t enough soldiers to occupy them.
Lilia evaluated the spaceships, there were nearly twenty of personal size and two of the same size as the flagships of Luonto.
“Mmm… they aren’t of high quality compared to mine, but one never knows when things might come handy, so it would be a good idea to take one of the big ones and a couple of the personal ones, darling”.
Aster nodded, one can never be too cautious after all and this was a good chance to test something, he extended his right hand towards one of the personal spaceships and a moment later the thing disappeared.
Eris frowned her brows.
“What was that?… as a divine rune master, I know that the runes used in the creation of a spatial ring to bend space, leave little traces of spatial laws when you store things inside, so how come I couldn’t see nor feel anything”, she thought.
While Eris was confused, Rya saw a spaceship appearing in the mind space and she smiled, so far this has been the first time Aster brought something of big proportions from the outside world, so she was happy that his control over the mind space was getting better and better.
For the big spaceship Aster placed his hand over it before storing in into the mind space.
“A tenth of my current reserve of spirit energy, it’s not bad considering the size of the spaceships”, he thought.
Eris and Mylene didn’t need one as they will be travelling with them, so there was nothing else to see here, since Aster didn’t want to waste anymore time Lilia transported them back with the others, a second later they appeared at the common area of Sylas’s spaceship.
Aster took out his talisman and contacted Sylas and Eric
“I deactivated the barrier and there aren’t anymore hidden traps, there is a treasury, a potion room and a basement, old man I suggest you to pay special attention to the history books, Eric I saw a couple of decent weapons that fit the fighting style of your sect, we’ll go ahead and return to Luonto first”.
“Got it Kid”.
“Thanks brother”.
Kana waited until Aster finished his conversation to threw herself at him.
“Big brother did you brought something for us?”.
Aster patted Kana’s head as he said.
“Yes, I found a couple of nice things for all of you, but I need to adjust some little details first, for now, let’s have a quick snack while we return to the mansion at Hawthorn city”.
After using nearly one quart of his spirit energy between dealing with the barrier, the fight against Nolan and sending the spaceships to the mind space, so he felt a bit hungry right now.
Sarina as a mother of a little girl had some cupcakes and cookies in her spatial ring, so the snacks were covered, Lilia of course couldn’t be left behind so she took the initiative to prepare the tea for them.
Lilia sat on the couch and patted the place next to her.
“Come here eat with me darling ♥”.
Aster smiled and did as she told, the rest of the girls also took seat, Aria, Alice and Sarina apparently had some kind of agreement because this time Sarina took the left spot next to him, then Aria and lastly Alice, Kana of course occupied her usual seat on Aster’s lap.
Eris and Mylene sat in front of them, Eris knew the truth about their relationship now, but Mylene was still in the dark about it, still it was not her place to speak so she just remained silent and drank the bottle of elixir Aster gave her as a reward.
While the girls were chatting with each other Aster suddenly remembered a doubt he wanted to clear.
“Eris, now that we finished dealing with Riga, how are you going to lift the wall that is isolating this place?”.
Eris took a sip of her tea before answering.
“I hid the master key of the divine formation I used to imprison Mylene, we can go retrieve it later… we still have to deal with the corrupted that are living in the ancient forest anyway”.
Mylene nodded.
“They were created using the blood of my Ash nether clan as the base, so I can help Eris trace them, if it’s not too much to ask I would like to take them down myself, in exchange I can teach you the specialty of my clan… although I’m not an alchemist I guarantee the people of this mortal plane can’t compare”.
Alice put on a grin.
“You are my brother’s maid, so everything you know is as good as his you know?”.
“I don’t see the problem, you and Eris can finish your business later, on any case we don’t need to use the portal anymore so we’ll stay in Prasil until everything is settled, before we return to the azure sky planet”.
The travel back to Hawthorn city was quite relaxing, after eating some snacks everyone relaxed, to be honest Aster wanted to take a bath with the girls, but the bathroom of this spaceship had a military style so there were only individual separated little cabinets.
Aster entered the mind space, he flew all the way to the highest point of Hyperion and slowly approached Rya before he hugged her from behind.
Of course, Rya noticed Aster since he appeared in the mind space, but she feigned ignorance and let him do as he wanted, contrary to all her expectations he managed to find two of the materials of the list so she was one step closer to recover her physical body.
“Kyaah ♥”, Aster suddenly let his body fell backwards, dragging Rya with him so that he was laying down on the bed cuddling with her.
None of them said anything, they just relaxed and enjoyed their time together, thinking on bathing with the other girls made Aster realize Rya was going to be excluded, so he decided to dedicate this moment for her.
He admired the beauty in his embrace as he gently caressed her beautiful silky hair.
“Rya… if you drink my blood would you be able to go out of the mind space, even if it’s just in a spirit form?”.
Rya sighed, “Unfortunately it won’t work right now, maybe once the integration between your bloodline and the paragon body finishes, your blood will be able to benefit me just like it did with those two”.
“Besides I need a physical body to contain my soul… for other reasons that I can’t discuss with you right now, so hurry up and find the rest of the materials or surpass your star tribulation so I can be yours in all the meaning of the words ♥”.
Aster kissed her forehead, he has already found one of the three rarest herbs and the rainbow clover, so there were nine “normal” materials and two of the rare ones left.
Unfortunately, Lilia wasn’t too fond of knowledge about alchemy back in her family, so she didn’t know whether they will be available on the high ranked star clusters, like the one where the Atria family lives.
“Speaking about things you can’t talk about right now, why haven’t you linked with a star yet?”.
Rya blushed, “Well, let’s just say my star has a very specific condition which can’t be fulfilled in a spirit form unlike how Aldebaran chose the twins, in any case the situation will be the same as Orionis, as it will be sealed until you are strong enough to use it”.
Aster smiled, “I wonder after all what we have done, what could be enough for you to feel embarrassed hehehe”.
Rya hid her face on his chest to avoid the question, but after a moment she spoke in a low voice.
“Cygni… my star is called Cygni and the condition is me losing my purity”.
…
Listening to her words made Aster smile from ear to ear, he grabbed Rya by her waist and made her ride on top of him.
“Well that sounds like a star I would like to contemplate in the early future”.
Rya used her hands to softly hit his chest.
“Wuuuh, what are you making me say pervert master”.
Aster found this embarrassed Rya rather cute, his hands moved downwards and she fondled her ass, the feeling of his fingers sinking into that huge bouncy marshmallow was a bliss.
“Hmm ♥”, Rya felt Aster’s dick poking her navel and her insides tingled in expectation.
“The sun hasn’t even settled yet, let’s save this for later”, she said.
Aster smiled he kissed her neck as he whispered at her.
“I don’t mind waiting but I don’t want to hear you call me master again, okay?”.
It hasn’t escaped him that Rya still called him master from time to time, which he didn’t like as she isn’t a servant, specially considering that by right of antiquity if Aster were to choose a “main wife”, she should be the one chosen.
Rya nodded, “Fine, I will call you Aster”.
Aster shook his head, “I never said that, you will have to call me husband from now and onwards hahaha”.
Rya snorted.
“Don’t forget I was with you back on earth, so before I call you that I want my ring humph”.
Their conversation was interrupted when Aster heard someone calling him outside, with a last kiss he disappeared from the mind space leaving a blushed Rya which used a pillow to cover her face.
“I can’t believe I told him about Cygni, stupid lewd star!!!”, she thought.
