Aster was flirting with Lilia and Rya when he was suddenly tackled by Alice, they both fell on the bed and bounced a couple of times, of course that didn’t matter because Alice was hugging him as close as possible.
Alice kissed her brother and rubbed her face against his as she said.
“Rya told us you needed to be in contact with mom, but sleeping separated from you is horrible”.
Aster patted Alice’s ass a couple of times, until she let go of him.
Rya who was watching everything from the mind space chuckled.
“I wouldn’t worry if I were you Alice, considering how big of a pervert is your brother, then I think I know what will happen once he finished condensing the first sword”.
Alice’s eyes seemed to glow.
“If mom was the inspiration for that sword, then I can also be the inspiration for the next one”, she thought.
Aster didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry, now his sister was going to be hyped until he starts forming the second sword, the problem was that he didn’t have any idea of how Lilia helped him to condense the first one.
He then looked at Aria’s big eyes which were looking at him with a needy expression which he found rather cute, he approached her and then pressed his lips against hers.
“How is my Aria feeling today?”, he asked in a lovingly voice.
Aria smiled at him before returning the kiss.
“I’m eager to see the results of Nadia’s treatment!”.
Aster caressed her face a couple of times, unlike the slight gloomy feeling she had around her yesterday, after a good night of sleep Aria seemed to have regained her calm self.
Before continuing “waking up”, the rest of the sleeping beauties, he stretched his arms feeling his body quite relaxed, even his mind seemed to be clearer than yesterday.
This was a benefit of having exhausted his soul, just like a muscle after being forced to the limit and then leaving it rest and recover it becomes stronger, of course not many people dare to train like this, because a wound in the soul can make it collapse thus killing the cultivator.
Aster knew other cultivators don’t have something like the mind space, but what he didn’t know is that they can’t see their soul avatars like him, so unlike them, Aster can see when his soul avatar has exhausted and stop before it changes from training to a self-destructive behavior, even if he were to not notice it, Rya would of course stop him.
“A dragon with a soul and body which are equally strong… I can’t wait to see it”, thought Rya looking at Aster’s soul avatar which was dazzling in golden light as Rigel’s flame enveloped him.
Aster then kissed the other pair of mother and daughter, Sarina received a kiss in her pretty lips, while Kana got it on her cheeks.
Kana opened her eyes and asked using her adorable voice.
“Good morning big brother do you feel better now, sister Rya told us you were tired”.
Aster patted her head and then stood up, he also wanted to see if Arthur’s future wife was cured or not, besides he could see with his spirit sense that Eris and Mylene were waiting outside of their room while Camila and a pair of elders were also patiently waiting for them at the dining room
While the other girls dressed up Lilia helped her son put on some clothes before doing the same, once everyone was ready, they left the bedroom Eris and Mylene joined them and they all reunited with Camila at the dining room.
“Mm?”, Aster noticed Camila stole a couple of gazes at him before she smiled and greeted Lilia and the girls.
He thought it was a bit weird but, understandable considering all the weird things that happened to her due to their “fated encounter”.
Aster also noticed the elders that were standing next to Camila, one of them was the one that spoke with him when the situation with Isaac happened, the other one was an old woman he has never seen before.
Camila noticed Aster looked at the elders and she immediately presented them.
“They are the elders I selected to come with me to the meeting… I can use my life to assure you they are trust worthy”.
Lilia chuckled listening to Camila acting like the supreme elder unlike yesterday.
“Why are you talking like that, after the things you did with my darling yesterday, you don’t need to be so formal”.
The old woman nearly choked; she gave Camila an accusatory gaze which made her sigh.
“Miss Lilia please don’t say things that could be misunderstood”.
Lilia then shrugged.
“Then drop the formalities”.
Camila felt trapped between a rock and hard place, she was trying to draw a line between her and Aster’s family, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it, Lilia helped her and she really enjoyed spending the day with them… fashion show and all included.
“Fine… Lilia, I took the liberty of telling fragrant senior to prepare us a good breakfast beforehand, there is still time before the meeting after all”.
Alice’s eyes glowed the moment she heard about food prepared by the owner of the restaurant, but then Aster shook his head.
“We will go straight to the Ghale family grounds, please tell her to send us the food so we can eat all together there”.
“No problem”, Camila answered, she knew Aria was Arthur’s daughter so it was only normal for Aster to arrive earlier so that they could spent some time together.
With a wave of her hand, Lilia transported them all to the entrance of the Ghale family grounds, the two elders were surprised, a second ago they were at the Wolfstein castle and now they appeared in Ghaleria.
The guards immediately recognized the son in law of the patriarch and allowed them to enter, at the other side of the gates members of the Ghale family were moving all over the place, accommodating seats, preparing tables and other things for the meeting.
Aster noticed Aria’s slightly worried face and he held her hand as they walked towards Arthur’s studio, this time he properly knocked on the door, after a few seconds Arthur’s voice could be heard coming from the room.
“Come in”.
They entered the room just to see Arthur sitting on his chair, there were slight signs of bags under his eyes a clear indication that he probably stayed awake the whole night, Nadia was standing next to him with a somewhat complicated expression in her face.
Aria approached Nadia and she looked at her current appearance, unlike yesterday she had a healthy blush in her face… but the biggest difference was that she now had the aura of a cultivator.
Aria happily smiled, although the aura radiated by Nadia was only at the foundation established realm, her dantian was cured
Aria’s eyes got teary, she gave Aster a thankful gaze, but she didn’t say anything, between them words like “thank you” were meaningless.
p Aster smiled, if it was within his possibilities then he wanted to keep his girls happy, in fact he enjoyed spoiling them.
Nadia and Aster’s gazes met for a couple of seconds and the atmosphere got a bit tense, for a split of a second Nadia’s eyes were filled with desire, but then she shook her head and just smiled at him.
“Many thanks, I will never forget this”.
Listening to her honest tone, Aster shook his head.
“Don’t mention it, you are also a part of Aria’s family, which means you are also a part of my family”.
Arthur laughed out loud, he stood up from his seat and then hugged Aster, whispering at him.
“Kid, you were right… I was nearly devoured, so thanks for that”.
Aster chuckled, apparently Nadia did have some kind of sexual excitement episode, but it wasn’t completely focused on him unlike Lilia and Alice, so Arthur could fulfill with his duties as a man.
Although Arthur looked a bit tired, he was truly happy.
“Let’s go have something for breakfast before those old stubborn old men arrive, what do you say?”.
Aster nodded and Arthur guided them to small outdoor dining area which Arthur prepared specially for them; the timing was perfect because the takeaway Camila ordered arrived as soon as they all took their respective seats.
Aster and the girls were of course sat next to each other with Kana sitting on his lap, Arthur and Nadia as well as Camila and the elders sat in front of them.
The old woman seemed to have something to say, she might not be a powerful cultivator, but she was quite old so how could she not notice the weird exchange between Nadia and Aster.
“This kid… could it be he is making his own father-in-law wear a green hat, I need to speak with little Camila about it later”, she thought.
