While Aster and the others enjoyed a good night of rest, Alexandra went to her mother''s room where Tamara was sitting on her bed, normally she is able to move with the help of the wheelchair that her brother ordered from a spirit cksmith for her.


    But the agitation she went through earlier consumed all her energy, so right now she couldn''t even muster the strength to order the wheelchair to move, with herst bits of energy she came to her room and now she couldn''t eveny down.


    The Bone Melting Palm had made her bones brittle, she had to take a pill every day to ensure her bones won''t just crumble apart over the slightest move, but the effect wore out and after that she had to wait some time before she could take another pill.


    In part that pill shortened her already short remaining lifespan, but she couldn''t bear forcing her daughter to waste her life taking care of her all the time, when the result would be the same for her anyway.


    In part it''s a miracle that she has endured it without Alexandra noticing her organs are failing, for so much time, but now that the cat was out of the bag, she couldn''t see her daughter straight to the eyes.


    Alexandra entered the room and saw her mother with a troubled expression, before she sighed.


    "I could have resisted the notice you know; it would have been worse if you died without me knowing why", said Alexandra.


    Tamara bitterly smiled in response.


    "I know that… but your character resembles your father''s too much, so I also know that you would have put your life on the line to help me, like he did back then, chances are I was going to die anyway and I didn''t want you to remember myst days being on a bed and suffering".


    Alexandra was speechless for a moment, she did exactly as her mother said, and joined the exploration despite the fact that there was something fishy going on, when the Genesis Manifestation group entered as reinforcements, not only that, but she offered herself in exchange for Aster healing her mother and leaving her alone, back when she thought he was one of the people that made her father fall in disgrace and cripple her mother, which turned out to not be the case.


    "Forget it, we can leave that forter, he gave me this pill and said to dilute in a tub of water, for you to take a bath… ording to him this will ease the pain and help make your organs function again", said Alexandra as she handed her mother the translucid pellet that contained a small drop of a transparent liquid.


    Tamara''s eyes glowed the moment her eyes posed on the pellet her daughter mentioned, as someone with a yin type constitution she was sensible towards yang energy, so how could she not notice the huge amount of yang contained in that drop of transparent liquid.


    Her daughter didn''t have a yin type constitution, but she is still somewhat sensible towards yang, because her Atria lineage whiches from Tomas, who has a yang type body constitution, but the translucid material prevented her from notice it, that is ayer of a material which Mylene created to encapsule the refined drops of Aster''s blood, making sure others wouldn''t notice their effects.


    Of course, this one was "liberated" so it was free for anyone to use, because the others could only be used by the girls, otherwise they''ll self-destroy, courtesy of Eris''s rune mastering.


    Still when Tamara was in her prime, she was stronger than Tomas, and while her cultivation was useless now, her senses weren''t.


    "Did he really just handed this to you?", she couldn''t help but ask.


    "Mm, yes, he didn''t seem particrly reluctant or anything, in fact it was very casual as he even said that I could follow his instructions or not, and you will still be cured him, why?", answered Alexandra.


    Tamara chuckled at her daughter.


    "Lass, the thing contained inside that pellet is as good as the nt that was stolen from you by Sean Fritz, when ites to nurturing the body, it''s not something that one would find in a middle ranked Ster System… while it might not rece my bones which are too damaged, even if I was dying this would extend my life for a few days, of course that is because I can no longer be considered a cultivator, but it should be effective for anyone below the Heavenly Realms".


    Needless to say, but Alexandra was in awe, she saw what Aster obtained from the Silicon Forest, and this wasn''t between those items, so he already had this miraculous medicine prior to that, which means that from the very beginning he would have been able to at least prolong her mother''s life, and cure her organs so that they could find a proper medicine for her bones, it was like casually giving a second life.


    "What are we waiting for let''s take you the bath now!", eximed Alexandra as she used her many ck metal octagonal ques to carefully bring her mother with her to the bathroom.


    …


    After a nice time of full sleep, some hours of recovery and almost half a day of rolling on the sheets of his bed with Lilia and Rya inside of the mind space, Aster slowly opened his eyes on the outside world feeling fresh as a lettuce.


    It was slightly earlypared to normal and the girls were still sleeping with the exception of Lilia who was smiling from ear to ear, while she had her eyes closed.


    Aster softlyughed and then one by one gave the girls their morning kiss, starting with Alice because the dragon girl was softly growling in her sleep, knowing Aster had fun with Lilia in the mind space.


    Aster dragged her upwards and then pressed his lips against Alice''s, whose eyes opened on the spot as she entangled her tongue with Aster''s, turning a normal kiss into a really lewd but satisfying one.


    Unwillingly but with an expression of bliss, Alice let go of Aster while she licked her lips.


    "You lewd sister, I''ll punish you once we return to the valley", whispered Aster as he firmly squeezed Alice''s ass, getting a nice moan from her in response.


    "Hnnn~", after getting what she wanted, Alice jumped out of the bed and happily went to the bathroom, making Aster shake his head, it would be a lie to say he didn''t miss the others, but that''s why he was giving his all to venture so that he can advance, and bring them all into the mind space with him.


    This time his energy path cultivation will be advancing, it''s what he felt, which is also good, because he has his own ns for his advance to the Transcending Realms, but that is a subject forter.


    Right now, he had a few cuties to wake up, and to continue he patted Kana''s head which made the little girl giggle, and approach to receive a little peck on her forehead, while Aster caressed her silky blond hair.


    "How is your training with Esmeralda going?", asked Aster, which made Kana pout.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "She makes me work until I''m too tired to y with Espi", said the little girl, as if she was telling on Esmeralda, which made Aster chuckle.


    "You''ll have a couple of free days to y with me and Espi once we return to the valley, so be a good girl and listen to your teacher okay".


    "Mm, I''ll listen to big brother~", cutely said Kana, she pecked Aster''s cheek and then ran to the bathroom.


    Asterughed and then continued, this time it was his ice princess''s turn, he would have gone with Sarina first, but she was acting as his pillow, so it was impossible to go for her, before taking the three that wereying on top of his chest of, first.


    "Mm~", naturally Aria enjoyed a soft gentle kiss, which made her slowly open those pretty tinum blue eyes of hers and smile with a slightly blushed expression.


    "Good morning", Aria''s smiling face was one of the best sights to experience first thing in the morning, Aster gently caressed her pretty smooth face with his hands, earning a few giggles from the ice princess.


    "I''ll go help those two prepare the bath", said Aria, now that they were together again, they will be returning to their usual practices, which include sleeping, eating and bathing together, surprisingly besides enjoying being the center of Aster''s attention, she realized that she enjoyed the liveliness that the others brought to her daily life, even arguing with Alice had be something she enjoys as they treat each other as sisters.


    Aster wanted to continue with Sarina, but Lilia was tightly grabbing onto his right arm, it was clear she won''t let go until she gets her share, which made Aster smirk, he rolled his body and then got on top of Lilia as he whispered at her ears.


    "Shouldn''t the "wife of the alpha" magnanimously give the other wives the chance to go first, like Sarina does?", Aster''s teasing voice made Lilia pout, her pretty ruby eyes gazed at Aster while her arms tightly wrapped around him.


    "I seem to remember someone promised me that I''ll always be the first, is my husband going back on his words after getting what he wanted", said Lilia, her pretty eyes got teary as she feigned to be devastated by Aster''s words.


    Aster was speechless, he obviously knew Lilia was just teasing him, but he couldn''t help but feel his heart clench, Lilia was simply too captivating for anyone to resist and that is when she isn''t putting any effort, so you can imagine the impact that she has on Aster, when she shows him a bit of her true charm.


    "That''s cheating mom", mumbled Aster, he simply couldn''t win against the woman that was now embracing him, when she was serious.


    "All is fair in love and war darling, maybe one day you''ll be able to "defeat" me, but for now, you are mine~", cutely said Lilia as she kissed Aster to the content of her heart, only then she licked her lips as she thanked him for the meal, and then left to the bathroom while making sure to sway her hips in a seductive way, while she gave a tempting gaze at Aster from the corner of her eyes.


    "Sigh, now she went and did it", mumbled Aster as he looked at the tent that raised in his pants, Aster shook his head and then dragged Sarina into his embrace, the soft gentle motherly woman was giggling, amused by the previous situation.


    Unlike before, the previously selfless woman had started to think on herself first in a few subjects, Aster being one of them, she who didn''t care about order and always gave up her turn to the others, was now aiming for the main wife position too, so far out of the girls that are present all the time, only Lilia was serious about that, Rya being the other, but she is limited to the mind space temporarily, but now Sarina decided to enter that littlepetition they had.


    And to symbolize that change in her attitude, she actually turned around and got on top of Aster, herrge breasts that were on par with Lilia''s pressed against Aster''s chest, she amodated her long blond hair behind her ear and then lowered her body to press her pretty lips against Aster''s.


    "I don''t mind the order, but I can''t take Lilia''s affirmation so easily, I won''t go down without a decent fight~", said Sarina, she pecked Aster and then got up the bed, her beautiful motherly figure elegantly walked towards the bathroom, leaving an Aster who was lost in his thoughts.


    Luckily his control over his body was quite decent so after he calmed down a bit, he got up the bed, just to be gazed at by the Ligress girl Mira who woke up earlier in time to see the morning routine.


    "I''m not ashamed of my lifestyle, and anyone that is in my group will learn about it sooner orter, don''t put too much thought into it, as it won''t affect you, all the others can confirm that", said Aster as he joined the others in the bathroom.


    Mira softly snorted and then amodated herself on the bed as she returned to sleep, Eris and the others also saw that and theyughed, certainly they were also surprised at first.


    In a sense Aster is both the safest man with whom they could interact, since they can be sure he doesn''t have any hidden agenda towards them, so he is easy to be friends with, as Eris, Mylene and Vivian have proven, when he pursues a girl it''s open for everyone to notice it, no schemes or tricks involved at all, like in Aria or Sarina''s cases.


    But he is also the most "dangerous" one as well, one would befortable around him without noticing, his handsome appearance, the continuous impossibilities he achieved and his iron set protective attitude towards his close ones, for all these maidens who had yet to experience love, was a bit too much.


    Like Lilia said, once they ride into that ship there is no turning back.


    Once they were finished with their bath, Aster and the girls came out and the others entered, they have stayed in Aster''s castle for quite some time to know what his routine is, and while Cam, Tiana and Agnes slightly blushed hearing Nim asking to Aster, "Are you going to bath with them too?", they limited to coldly re at the tree and then took their baths in peace, Mira remained asleep and Aster didn''t disturb her, as long as she didn''t try to escape or harm them, she was free to do as she pleased and he won''t force her to do anything, that was his promise to her.


    Once everyone was ready, they left the room together and the moment they opened the door, they were weed by Alexandra, who seemed to be in a really good mood.


    ''She has been waiting for us toe out for around half an hour darling~'', said Lilia through the mind connection, while she inwardly smiled.


    Oblivious to what his mother was thinking, Aster looked at Alexandra who bowed towards him.


    "My mother was able to rest for the first time in years and she is even eating due to the medicine, thanks", her words were genuine, she couldn''t believe how much her mother''s condition improved in a single night, Tamara was still sleeping but when Alexandra woke up and went to check on her mother, she was in awe for a few minutes until she made sure she wasn''t dreaming.


    "That''s good, she needs to be healthier because the treatment on her bones won''t be as easy, but we can discuss thatter, do you mind if we use your kitchen", casually said Aster.


    "Mm, sure", answered Alexandra, she was a bit confused about why Aster asked for the kitchen, but she still agreed, that is because she didn''t get to taste Sarina''s cooking, as she didn''t want to mingle too much with Aster''s group, she limited to eat her dry rations or simply take nutritious pills that provided what the body needed but without the pleasure of a warm meal, something that will change very soon.


    Sarina gazed at Lilia and little sparks seemed to fly between those two, which made Aster bitterly smile, things will be getting livelier in his household from now and onwards.
