Ten minutes later Aster got the answers he wanted, although even the leader didn’t know for who they were hunting young girls, that by itself gave Aster some hints, if it was a task given by someone from an evil sect, then there wouldn’t be all this unnecessary mystery.
In the retorted way to see things of evil cultivators, the crueler the person the more it would be admired and respected, so if this task was given by someone from an evil sect, then the name of the employer would have been proudly announced, unless of course it involved messing with people with strong backings, but here that wasn’t the case.
Specially because the base of this mercenary group was in the Lagrae stellar system which was on the bottom of the barrel in the bigger picture of the Dragon Legacy heavenly quadrant, in the ranking of general strength, the Atria stellar system which contains the Rodia star cluster, has the 85th position, while the Lagrae stellar system is on the 89th position.
It just happened that the Rodia star cluster was among the weakest star clusters of the Atria stellar system, while the Jariel stellar system in which the base of the mercenaries reside is among the middle upper part of the Lagrae stellar system.
Aster also got to know how these guys which were known to be on the black list of other stellar systems, appeared here without no one noticing.
“I will ask Mylene to set planetary alarm formation and a barrier formation on the central continent… also I need to clean some trash at the border before we leave”, thought Aster before he focused his attention on the leader.
Three quarters of his body had that bruise tone skin color and his eyes were lifeless, luckily Aster cleared all his doubts before he erased more of the soul of the guy, because as soon as he erased exactly 75% of his soul, the guy seemed to have lost his mind.
Of course, he looked at Kana in the process to see how she reacted, to be honest he expected her to be scared or at least uncomfortable given the loud screams, insults and begs of the guy, but she instead kept her composure, probably because of what the mercenary said before.
Even a kind girl like her had the bottom line, and if those guys would have succeeded, then not only she would have been kidnapped, but her dear mother would have suffered all kinds of abuses, without noticing her little heart developed one of the things Aster wanted her to learn.
Although she wasn’t indifferent towards everything that didn’t have anything to do with her, she at least now felt merciless against those who threatened her and her loved ones, making Aster nod happy with the result.
Aster didn’t mind if she pitied or helped others, as long as it wasn’t detrimental to her or for the family, he liked the pure and kind Kana which always smiled so much, that it would be a shame for her to lose that.
“Time to finish this”, thought Aster as the golden armor let out flashes of golden light, with him as the center waves of annihilation covered the area, turning all the mercenaries into dust which disappeared a couple of seconds later, without affecting anything else.
Of course, before doing that he stripped them out of their spatial rings, because who knows, something he needs might be in the ring of a low ranked cultivator with some luck, in any case all the low ranked treasures were like candies for Camila.
All of the mercenaries had committed a lot of atrocities but he wasn’t a revenger, besides they listened clear and loud to the screams of their leader, and the thought of being the next in the chopping board was a torture itself.
“All these guys were small fries, their spirit energy and body were full of impurities, I will inspect their rings later… right now I have something more important to deal with”, he thought.
Sarina noticed the hot gaze of Aster piercing her like the eyes of a predator which has spotted her prey and she blushed.
“Hmmm ♥”, a sweet moan left her lips as she felt Aster’s hand fondling her ass, their date was interrupted by this sudden situation after all.
But just as she was about to jump over him, Aster suddenly let go of her.
Seeing her aggrieved expression Aster softly laughed before giving her a short kiss in her lips, followed by a peck to Kana in her cute cheeks.
“You two asked me why I went through all the trouble to get the pearls of those oysters right… I have noticed you two staring at the rings of mom Alice and Aria before, which reminded me that I haven’t told you about this bad habit of mine”.
The rings which worked as a sign of being Aster’s women, had all a thing in common, they weren’t exactly luxurious nor of the highest ranked materials, but they were made with materials Aster found by himself.
Of course, in the future he will prepare the best of the best for the time they publicly marry him, which besides the need to craft his own swords was part of the reason as to why he wanted to learn rune mastering, but for the “engagement” rings they were more valuable for what they represented than for their uses or materials.
That being said thanks to Eris he now learned to add a little surprise in their rings.
Aster distanced himself a bit from them before taking out the pair of pearls and other things from his spatial ring, Rigel’s flames covered his hands at the same time making the pearls become some kind of semi liquid, the flames had the ability to alter the state of the materials after all.
He continued working for about one hour in which he didn’t notice it, but both Kana and Sarina watched him with utmost attention, finding his refined movements an art by itself.
Kana was specially marveled as she more or less noticed what Aster was creating.
With a couple last of details, Aster made some slight cuts in the tip of his fingers and after letting a couple of drops of his blood to cover two different things, he made one last gesture before absorbing Rigel’s flames back into his body.
He then showed the results to the pair of mother an daughter, a couple of rings with white frames, created using the pearls, they were both crowned with a small gem which they couldn’t recognize.
The reason of that was easy and it was because the original colors of the gems were altered thanks to his blood, originally, they were a storm sapphire and a viridian emerald, two gems of blue and green color respectively.
But after being “stained” with his blood, their borders became yellow while maintaining the original colors in the center, he also engraved the simplest “storage” spirit formation which he learned, so that the blood he dripped on the gems would be inside, one can never bee too cautious after all.
He extended his arms and both mother and daughter showed him their left hands.
Aster gently put a ring on each of their ring fingers, the girls looked at the rings clearly understanding what was the inspiration for their design.
p Sarina has blond hair and green eyes, and the gem in her ring has yellow borders with a green center, as for Kana she also has blond hair but her eyes are light blue and so the gem in her ring is the same, yellow borders with a light blue center, they perfectly matched them.
“Each one of the rings is unique, like the one who uses it”, said Aster as he looked at their bright smiling expressions.
Aster didn’t say empty words, the rings he gave to Alice and Aria had their own particularities, like they shared a similar design because he wanted them to become “sisters”, their gems were also chosen to match their eye or hair color, not to mention the one he gave to Lilia which was made of a deep black metal with a red gem.
“This should be enough for the time being, once I become a true rune master and a spirit blacksmith, I will give you proper wedding rings”, said Aster as he caressed Sarina’s blushed face.
Of course, he didn’t forget about Kana which looked at him like an abandoned puppy, making him laugh as he patted her head.
Leaving aside the whole situation with the mercenaries, they continued with their date, Sarina took out her clothes leaving only her swimsuit and they returned to the water to continue where they were interrupted.
If seeing from afar one would think they were a family as both Aster and Sarina were playing with Kana, but after a close inspection, everyone would notice the “accidental” touches and contacts between Aster and Sarina’s privates, and the curious and slightly jealous light in Kana’s eyes.
This continued until Aster couldn’t resist the temptation, every time Sarina moved, her curvaceous body swayed naturally, which was accentuated by the fact that her bikini covered too little of her body, needless to say that she could feel his eyes glued to her and she loved the feeling.
Aster suddenly dived into the water and swam towards her before standing up hugging her from behind.
“Mm~”, Sarina softly moaned feeling something hard and hot pressing against her ass, their lower bodies were hidden by the water but the compromising pose gave them away.
“K-Kana is looking at us”, said Sarina in an almost unnoticeable shy voice, although Kana saw them making love before, there were other girls present in the bedroom, so it was a bit easier to not feel shy about it, the others didn’t seem to care and moaned as loud as they could leaving their desires to manifest, especially Lilia which wildly accepted her son’s love.
But now they were alone, so the only thing her daughter was going to see and hear would be her shameful voice and her horny appearance which was completely different to her mother self.
Unfortunately, or more accurately luckily for her, Aster ignored her “pleading” eyes as he started rubbing his dick against her pussy while also gently kissing her neck, making the water wave.
“It’s fine, we are all a big family so there is nothing to be ashamed off, besides as her mother you should make sure to “teach” Kana about this stuff”, he said with a righteous voice.
Kana chuckled finding the perfect opportunity to get back at her mother for having mentioned something which ashamed her before.
She then nodded and took some distance to have a better view of them not without saying in a playful voice.
“Big brother is right mom, you already had that talk about adult things with me, and with this I can watch and learn directly from you”.
Sarina saw her daughter giggling at her but as she was about to reprimand her, she felt a current of electricity running through her body as Aster penetrated her from behind.
“Anghhhh ♥”, her insides spasmed as she actually came just by him putting it in.
“Uwaaah, mom your face looks really lewd right now!”.
“Noo hmmm ♥”, Sarina tried to cover her face, but Aster grabbed her hands and while being careful enough to not harm her but firm enough to held her in place, he started moving his hips back and forth, resulting in the sound of water splashing and Sarina’s sweet cries filling the area.
