“Ladies, I will go with mom to a date, we’ll be back at night”, he said through the mental connection.
While Aster was sleeping, Camila tested the limits and conditions of her constitution, as long as she remained within 20 meters of Aster for about five hours, she will be able to be far from him for double the amount of time, for some reason five hours was the limit, more of that and the effect didn’t stack.
“Bring me and Kana next time”.
“You won’t refuse to invite your older sister later, right?”.
“I… want to go on a date too”.
Sarina, Alice and Aria answered all at the same time, Lilia already told them Aster woke up, so they weren’t surprised to listen to him, they also stayed with him most of the time, with the exception of their respective trainings.
“No problem, you three decide the order though”, he replied before wrapping his arm around Lilia’s waist.
Lilia giggled, she waved her hand and a they immediately disappeared from the room, leaving behind a three extremely motivated girls, fighting to decide the order of the next dates.
…
After not eating for about 36 hours, the first stop would be of course a restaurant, and the best option in the whole Azure sky planet was of course the fragrant pavilion in Ghaleria.
Normally they would have simply appeared inside of the city, but since Lilia wanted to go through the whole experience, they appeared near the entrance.
That being said, there was an exclusive door for Aster and his family, something which was put more emphasis into, now that the Terranova sect was stablished and the founder was him.
You can imagine the surprise in the face of the guard after being designated as the first “gate protector” of the sect, who would have thought that a random gesture of kindness towards a youth he casually met, would completely change his life.
Under the envious and admiring gazes of others, Aster entered the city while keeping Lilia close to his body, like saying “this beautiful woman is mine”.
Still at this point every cultivator of the earth origin realm and above knew who Aster is, so besides wishing to all the stars of the sky to meet a woman as beautiful as Lilia in their future, no one tried anything.
,m Lilia giggled at the amusing scene of the people of the city treating them as if they were celebrities or something like that.
“It’s funny that they look at you as if they were looking at their ruler darling, because that is technically true”.
She then leaned her head against Aster’s shoulder before she said in voice which only Rya could hear.
“Of course, that means I’m the Empress ♥”.
Rya softly snorted.
“Humph, you have guts, I recognize that, the existences which would dare to call themselves like that in front of me can be counted with two digits”.
Although Aster couldn’t hear their conversation, the competitive expression in his mother’s face, gave her away.
“Are you two fighting again?”, he asked in a slightly accusatory voice.
Lilia immediately shook her head; she kissed her son and tightly hugged his arm.
“Of course not, darling, I’m was just thinking in how good we will get along once she comes out of the mind space”.
Aster raised an eyebrow clearly seeing through her lie, but he feigned ignorance and instead dragged his mother to the fragrant pavilion.
As soon as the hostess saw them coming, she guided them to a private room on the second floor before taking their orders.
Part of a date was having something interesting to talk about, which made Aster remember Lilia hasn’t told him about the sect they’ll be joining.
“Mom, how is that… “Myriad Occupation Sect” was it?”.
Lilia leaned her head on her hand as she observed her beloved son before saying.
“It’s the guardian sect of the peak middle ranked stellar system “Galatia”, but that’s not really what’s important but the fact that two of their backers are your two godmothers”.
“Oh?”, Aster couldn’t help but feel interested in Lilia’s words, he knows almost everything about his mother since she became his lover, including the guys that tried to court her back then, but she has been keeping him on the darkness regarding her only two friends, which were supposedly his birth godmothers.
He only knew that one of them was an alchemist, she was the one that gave Lilia the “Nine treasure maiden’s blessing” elixir which he used for his awakening ceremony, the other one is a rune master which asked her ancestor to bestow Lilia the spirit formation used to conceive without the need of sexual intercourse.
To be honest he felt in debt with them, it was thanks to their support that Lilia could refuse to obey the orders of her father without the need of leaving the Drage family, or be chased by them.
“Well, I guess that explains the name, two of the backers of that sect are a rune master and an alchemist, then that means those are two of the occupations taught on that sect, so what are the others?”, he asked.
All the sects had an area of specialty, some focused in for example the use of the sword as a weapon, their focus would be to teach the students how to develop sword intention and thing like that, there were sects which focused only in alchemy, or in rune mastering.
Bu the one they will be joining was rather special in the way it was managed.
Lilia rose her pretty fingers one by one as she explained.
“Alchemy, Rune Mastering, Spirit Blacksmithing and lastly Battle, those are the occupations taught in that sect, as you already guessed, those two are the backers in terms of Alchemy and Rune mastering… and technically I would have become the backer in terms of battle if I were to leave the Drage family of course”.
Something that didn’t escape Aster’s reasoning was that his mother’s friends, also put some efforts in developing a force of their own, out of the five heavenly quadrants known, the aggrupation is two versus the other two, and one which is neutral.
On top of that the first four are ruled by families while the neutral one is ruled by a sect, so Lilia’s friends were trying to create another conqueror level force in which they would be the maximum authorities.
“I guess mom wasn’t the only one with “family issues”, instead of depending on other people’s goodwill, it’s better to create something with your own two hands”, he thought.
Lilia suddenly giggled.
“You will have to find out the rest once we reach there, I’ll just say that you are going to like the sect’s “atmosphere”.
Daimon bitterly smiled, apparently being all mysterious was a thing for cultivators, anyway that wasn’t the main point of this date, so he gave that subject as finished and moved on.
The food was soon brough to their private room, needless to say but everything was delicious, surprisingly this time Lilia didn’t sit on Aster’s lap nor next to him to personally feed him, she instead sat in front of him to enjoy her meal at the same as him,
Probably as a way to emphasize the fact that this was a date not between a mother and her son, but between a woman and a man.
They ate their food while enjoying the company of the other, idly chatting about some random matters from time to time.
Once they both had their fills, Aster paid for the food.
Lilia smiled, she hugged her son from behind and covered his eyes with her hands as she whispered.
“No peeking, I have been reserving this place for a day where we were alone”, with a wave of her hand they both disappeared, although Aster had his eyes closed to not spoil the surprise, his senses were sharper than other cultivators since he walks in the soul path too.
So, it wasn’t hard for him to notice the huge change in the surroundings, the air was cleaner compared to Ghaleria, also the sound of water running and the fresh scent of plants made clear they weren’t in a city
Lilia retired her hands from Aster’s face, he opened his eyes and for a moment he was marveled by the incredible scenery, it was a natural paradise, created by a series of small hills from which some streams ran, the water ended in a small river which seemed to continue all the way to some far away mountain, everything was decorated by the bright green of vegetation.
“Mom this is such a good place…”, Aster turned to see his mother, but as he was telling her about the beauty of the place, he saw her snapping her fingers, then a black barrier covered the whole area as far as the eye could see.
It didn’t escape his eyes that Lilia’s red pupils seemed to be glowing, but he put that at the back of his mind as he saw her long white dress sliding away from her body, revealing the beautiful pale skin below of it, her privates were only covered by some provocative lingerie which was of course chosen for the occasion.
Then without any warning Lilia threw herself at him making them both fell on the floor which was covered by soft grass.
She continuously kissed her son to the content of her heart before she by herself undid the laces on the back of her bra before pulling down her panties to throw them aside.
Seeing the beautiful naked body of his mother, and the paradisiac landscape which surrounded them, Aster thought he found the heaven.
Lilia giggled, she saw her son’s eyes were glued to her body and she loved the feeling, surprisingly she didn’t immediately ask fir his love and instead she stood up and dragged him to the small river.
Aster smiled, he took off his clothes and entered the water with her.
“What a good way to say goodbye to this planet”, he thought as he saw Lilia swimming around like a mermaid, while swaying her hips in a seductive way.
