After hearing Rya’s tone, Alessia had a bad premonition and her suspicion was confirmed by Rya a moment later.
“For now, the basic recognition of the star will be enough, by seeing Aster’s interactions with that girl called Aria I know he doesn’t like to force things, luckily a kiss should be enough to start the ritual”.
Aster was a bit confused.
“What do you mean with ritual?”.
Rya forgot that Aster didn’t know too much about the stars so she decided to explain just the basic about Aldebaran.
“Every star is different, while Pollux didn’t require one, Aldebaran’s ability is a bit more complicated, you need the “materials” and the “catalyst”, in this case the materials are these two and the book itself and of course the catalyst is you ♥, don’t worry the ritual is safe basically what Aldebaran does is create a new thing based on the materials to adapt to the catalyst… in other words “evolution”.
“There is one problem though, since you are the catalyst, those two strengths will be limited to the highest realm of the current division you are in, which in this case should be the soul manifestation realm… they both will get their power back once you advance more”.
Aster felt a bit ashamed.
“After you two get recognized by Aldebaran I should get a boost on my cultivation, with it I will probably be able to break through the earth origin realm and that would mean you two will reach the star tribulation realm… also it won’t be too long before I help you recover your full strength”.
Hearing Aster being worried about how will they react, Aylin smiled as she didn’t really care about it but Alessia pinched Aster’s side before speaking.
“My partner must be the strongest so you better put your all on advancing on your cultivation or I won’t let you be near my sister nor me, ok?”.
Aster was amused by her reaction, he let her go before using both of his arms to hug Aylin.
“Well, if you don’t want to, I don’t mind giving more love to Aylin instead hehehe”, Aylin leaned her head against Aster’s shoulder and smiled at Alessia.
“Sorry big sister but a wife’s duty is to support her husband ♥”, of course she was just following Aster’s act to tease her sister a bit, her effort paid off when she heard Alessia replying in a low voice.
“Humph there hasn’t even been an hour and you already side with him instead of your own sister”.
Aster couldn’t help but laugh, after exchanging glances with Aylin he let her go and approached Alessia, he took her by her waist and caressed her face with his right hand before saying, “I really like the feel of your soft skin and the coldness that it gives me when I touch it, I might get addicted to this sensation”.
Alessia blushed a bit before answering.
“My body temperature is lower than other people due to the way I cultivate… doesn’t men prefer warmness over cold?”.
Aster smiled.
“Everyone has their own preferences I guess, personally I find this feeling quite enjoyable”, aster wasn’t exaggerating, if he were to compare, what he felt was similar to touching a rose petals on a snowy winter day but ten times better, it was just intoxicating.
Seeing that she didn’t seem to be resisting his advances anymore he got closer with the intention of kissing her, Alessia felt nervous but she didn’t push him away, she only closed her eyes and waited.
Once their lips touched it was as if something exploded in her mind, she couldn’t stop letting out a cute sound.
“Hmmm ♥”.
Aster felt a bit overwhelmed, before when Rya kissed him, he understood that kissing has a different feeling between each woman, while Alice’s kiss has the clumsy but cute innocence of a young maiden and Rya’s one had the intense passion of a lover’s longing, in Alessia’s case she gave off a refreshing yet fragile feeling.
Originally the kiss didn’t need to take too long but Aster felt reluctant to let her go, when she seemed to be about to end the kiss, he gently tightened his embrace on her which ultimately stopped her from separating from him, Aster went easy at her in the beginning but at some point, he even started to use his tongue to tease hers.
While he was engrossed in the moment, he heard Rya’s voice in his head and she seemed to be… annoyed.
“I hate to interrupt your fun but we don’t have too much time so if you want to kiss her more, then do it later m-a-s-t-e-r”.
Aster reluctantly let her go which allowed Alessia to run away as a scared rabbit while she covered her face that was red as a tomato with her hands.
Aylin on the other hand was enjoying seeing this new side of her normally cold sister “it seems like we found our knight in a shining armor” she thought, but then seeing Aster’s pervy smile she couldn’t help but add “although he is not exactly… a gentleman hahaha ♥”.
Aster approached Aylin this time but before he kissed her, she mumbled in a low voice.
“Be gentle with me, unlike big sister I’m a fragile innocent girl♥”.
Alessia heard her and she immediately replied.
“What do you mean with “unlike my sister”, that was my first kiss too you know?”.
Aylin laughed before sticking her tongue out at her.
“Maybe but, I could tell that you enjoyed being kissed with a bit of force hehehe”.
Alessia blamed Aster, “It is not my fault it… felt good”, she blushed a bit before continuing “just shut up and kiss him so we can leave this place”.
Aster smiled, he dragged Aylin closer to him and softly pressed his lips against hers, even though they are twins the feeling Aylin gave him was completely different than Alessia, it was as if he was in a field of grass enjoying the sun and the breeze in the middle of spring, it was a comfortable and easing sensation.
While their lips were connected Aylin understood why her sister didn’t want to stop the kiss, it actually felt really good, this time Aster didn’t extend the kiss too long but when he separated, Aylin gave him a kiss on her own.
“Hnnn ♥”
Aylin had a charming expression when she explained.
“The first one was for the ritual and the second one was because I wanted to hehehe ♥”.
Alessia had a bitter smile when she dragged her sister along with her.
“You are the younger sister so why are you advancing more than me humph”.
Aylin laughed in response, Aster felt a change in his mind space and when he entered to check what was happening, he saw the star Aldebaran radiating blue light, on the outside the twins that were holding hands were encapsulated into a blue sphere which later shrank and floated towards Aster and entered his body through the lower abdomen where the dantian is positioned, the weird feeling made him open his eyes and as he was about to ask where twins went Rya spoke.
“It’s done, now you will have to wait for the evolution to finish, the space of the book is crumbling so let’s leave Ast…”.
She couldn’t finish when Aster kissed her, this time he took his time to enjoy the passion he felt when Rya kissed him before, it was as if a person lost in the desert for a long time finally found an oasis, a great and comforting sensation of relief, when they separated Rya gasped a bit before asking.
“Ha…ha…ha, what was that ♥?”.
Aster felt a burning desire, it took all his auto control to not jump on her right now, once he calmed down, he explained.
“When I thought that I won’t be able to do things like this with you for a while I couldn’t help but do it besides… I wanted to be the one to take the initiative this time, although you probably won’t tell me everything right now it doesn’t change the fact that I seem to desire you from the deepest part of my heart”.
After saying that Aster felt his body lighter than before, when he wondered what was happening, he felt something forming on his dantian, he saw his soul idol transforming into a brown sphere, then he laughed out loud before telling Rya.
“I broke through”.
Rya was happy for him.
“This time things will be different” she thought, before smiling.
“Hehehe as a reward let me tell you a little secret, although it won’t be my real body you will be able to touch me in my spiritual form on the mind space ♥”.
Aster felt a bit ashamed, “you should have told me earlier” he mumbled.
While still laughing Rya waved her hand and a gate appeared before her body turned into a golden light that returned to Aster`s body.
Seeing her disappearing Aster sighed while thinking “I have so many things to do… whatever the goal is still the same become the strongest to enjoy eternity with my girls”.
Aster saw the door and as he was about to enter, suddenly a thought struck him like a bolt out of the blue.
“Now that I think about it mom probably felt the life-saving talisman breaking… god damn I’m just getting out of one problem and I’m already being thrown into another one”.
He entered the door and his consciousness faded for a second before his vision changed to his room in the inn.
