Chapter 462 Lilia & Rya’s Love Nest (Part 2)
"Mom…", Aster tried to talk but he was interrupted by Lilia pressing her body down on him, until Aster grabbed her by her waist and dragged her downwards a bit, just enough for her to be face to face with him.
\'I guess it was to be expected\', thought Aster as he saw Lilia\'s red eyes glowing in red light.
"So I couldn\'t trick you with parallel thinking huh?", asked Aster.
A moment ago he entered the mind space, but he didn\'t tell Lilia he was going to do so, because he wanted to test something, he wanted to see if "he" could be both in the real world and the mind space at the same time.
Since he could talk with Rya even when he was in the real world, then he supposed that with a stronger parallel thinking he should be able to do it, but it wasn\'t as easy as what he did in the monthly trial.
The mind space was different, he could bring real things to it after all, it would be correct to call it a private dimension of his property, where both spiritual and physical objects can coexist.
Lilia chuckled and then she poked Aster\'s cheek before saying.
"How can I not notice when your attention isn\'t completely focused on me, darling~", she playfully said.
Aster cleared his throat in response.
"Ahem, let\'s get ready to leave", he said as he changed his position to be sitting on the bed, naturally Lilia who was in his embrace accommodated so that she was sitting on his lap, while Aster hugged her from behind.
Aster then suddenly wrapped his arms around Lilia\'s waist while he whispered to her.
"Now I need you to close your eyes and repeat "I want to go", in your heart, just imagine that if you manage to do it… you\'ll be able to be with me all the time", said Aster.
Lilia whose eyes were now shining like lanterns, only focused in the par "You\'ll be able to be with me all the time", she repeated them a lot of times in her mind and then smiled with a reddened face.
Aster saw Lilia\'s excited expression and he nodded, for this to work it had to be like that, while Lilia closed her eyes and did as he told, Aster kept whispering sweet words to Lilia, so much that she would probably be smiling even in her sleep.
It\'s not like he only wanted to flirt with his mother, though he was enjoying this moment alone with her, he did it because he finally got a small hint on how Orionis\'s power worked, or at least he supposed he did.
Maybe because he has gotten closer to the Spirit Trial realm, having reached the Stellar Axys realm in the soul path recently, according to Rya the seal over Orionis would lift once he surpasses one tribulation to enter the Transcending realms, and he isn\'t that far from it.
That being said, he only got a small hint about it, after analyzing the previous occasions in which Orionis interfered, there was the thing with the black sword soul weapon, the fact that it appeared in his inner universe, and lastly it helped the twins as well as Lilia enter the mind space.
If you see it like that, there is nothing in common with the first situations, only the last two resemble, but then after thinking about it a bit more, Aster came to a conclusion.
The stars resemble their respective maidens, Pollux protects Aster actively and also outstands in the physical path, just like Alice, Rigel silently supports Aster and while it looks cold from the outside is purer than anything, just like Aria.
Antares\'s abilities are based in the feelings one has for others instead of oneself, so you could tell it\'s a power that exists for the sake of those the star maiden cherishes, just like Sarina and there it laid one of the biggest hints he has gotten regarding the stars, because unlike Neela, Aster would never allow her to sacrifice herself for others, she will instead grow stronger thanks to others.
That\'s what was preventing Aster from forming an idea of what Orionis\'s power is, because his perspective was wrong, in his mind Pollux fitted more to Lilia, she was always been protecting him, and she was close to him all the time, just like the golden armor which cladded his body.
But then Orionis appeared in his inner universe and took the role of participating in the way he cultivates, by gathering and purifying spirit energy so that Aster didn\'t have to do it by himself.
As of right now Aster was half sure he knew what Orionis\'s power is.
\'Mom will do anything for me and at the same time, she wants to be a part of my life and help me in every possible aspect or fulfill any wish I come up with… so her power should be related to desire\', he thought.
That was the core of Lilia\'s nature, she was obsessive and slightly pushy, but at the same time lovable and considerate, she loved him more than anything and wanted to please him, but she also wanted to be the same.
The only thing all the situations in which Orionis interfered had in common, is that they were either needed by Aster or wished by Lilia, that being said his theory didn\'t match the title of Orionis, since it was called the star of the overlord, but it was what he could deduct with the information he had.
He didn\'t know the limitations, restrictions or rules of Orionis power, so the only thing he could do to incite Orionis to act, was to make Lilia want something from the bottom of her heart.
And as strange as it might sound, it worked, Aster suddenly felt Lilia\'s body relaxing and leaning on him, he smiled and then left their bodies fall on the bed as he entered the mind space.
The first thing Aster did after appearing inside the mind space was of course looking at the starry sky, where as he expected there was a black star radiating red light even if it was chained and restricted.
He then turned around to see the highest point of Hyperion from which he could hear a pair of voices arguing, or more accurately Rya\'s voice arguing while Lilia simply giggled.
Aster bitterly smiled and then flew towards the highest point of Hyperion, what welcomed him was the sight of Lilia checking Rya\'s wardrobe.
"Why are you making such a fuss, these clothes were bought with the "older" Rya in mind, they no longer fit you, so why don\'t you let me use them to give my darling a nice show~", said Lilia as she tried on a long silver dress.
Rya felt a vein popping in her neck as she took the dress away from Lilia\'s hands.
"They don\'t fit you either, isn\'t my previous figure even better than yours", proudly claimed Rya, she was proud of her body being shape being the only one who surpassed Lilia, at least before her age started regressing.
Lilia smirked in response, she saw Aster arriving and licked her lips.
"Now that you mention it, when I\'m in my dragon form, I think that dress would be a bit tight on the lower body area, and I have barely reached the infant stage, I\'ll need larger clothes latter on, or maybe I should stop wearing clothes when I\'m in private with my darling~".
"Y-You… lewd dragoness!", exclaimed Rya, before she turned to see Aster.
"Just so you know, Aldebaran also affects me, so I will be even prettier and stronger than before, not to mention I will be the perfect partner for Aster".
Lilia stuck her tongue at Rya and then her image flashed as she appeared behind Aster and hugged him.
"Those are some big words for someone who couldn\'t leave the mind space, I was able to enter the mind space to be all the time with my darling, that makes me the most qualified to be his main partner~".
Rya trembled due to anger, for some reason she couldn\'t considerate Lilia a "junior" like the other girls, it\'s not a matter of age or strength, but when she saw the others being close to Aster she was kay with it, a bit jealous sure but that was it, the only one who got in her nerves was Lilia.
Rya walked towards them and grabbed Aster\'s left arm, she the tried to drag him towards her, but Lilia didn\'t let go.
"Hyaa~".
"Mnnn~".
Both girls let out a cute sound, when Aster suddenly squeezed their butts with his hands, while Lilia swayed her hips and clang onto Aster, Rya blushed and leaned against him.
Their reactions couldn\'t be more different, but the result was the same, they stopped arguing and instead enjoying being in his arms.
After enjoying the marvelous sensation in his hands to the content of his heart, Aster unwillingly let go of them and then walked towards the border of the top of Hyperion before saying.
"My dates with the girls focus in helping them improve and at the same time enjoying my time with them, good girls get rewarded and bad girls get punished, the same applies to you two as well".
Lilia saw the perverse smile on her son\'s face and she rubbed her inner thighs together, a side effect of all the sweet things Aster whispered to her to get her in the "mood", she needed to desire to come with him to the mind space with all her heart for it work, or at least that\'s what he tried to do.
It was still unknown if that\'s why she was able to enter once again or there was something else, which he wasn\'t taking into account, in any case the important is that it worked.
Rya on the other hand saw that smile on Aster\'s face and her legs wobbled a bit, the last time she saw him like that, she ended up being "tortured" continuously for a few hours, which with the extra pleasure of being in spirit forms, almost made her go crazy.
Aster then handed Lilia a ring, it was the one Helena gave him, the one which contained the materials he asked her to get.
"Your task will be to retrieve the materials in that ring, if you do it the wrong way they would end up disappearing, I prepared a lot of cheap things for you to practice so don\'t worry, if you fail to retrieve all the needed materials, then no love for you until we return to the rea world".
Lilia\'s eyes got teary, she gave Aster puppy eyes trying to get him to change the punishment, but Aster had steeled his heart to not give in, though he added.
"If you succeed however, I promise to spoil you to the content of your heart okay", Lilia eyes sparkled upon hearing that, she licked her lips and then jumped out of Hyperion to start her training at ground level.
Aster chuckled and then turned to see Rya who was sweating bullets imagining what Aster had in mind for her, she was still processing the fact that he somehow managed to make Orionis cooperate, even she didn\'t know what was that star\'s power, besides it being something incredibly problematic of course, and now she couldn\'t understand what he wanted to achieve here.
"As for my cute Empress, your training is simple, I have noticed that your soul is your weakness, which means you aren\'t a soul cultivator right".
Rya nodded.
"Mm, I once walked down the energy and body path, why?".
Aster then smiled and hugged Rya from behind.
"Well, that makes it easy, I\'m going to help you train your soul, so that you never end up in a similar situation ever again, naturally it\'s not going to be a regular training so be prepared", said Aster as he licked his lips.
Rya had a bad premonition, but before she could say anything, Aster gently bit her neck before saying.
"By the way, if you fail, we\'ll be rolling in the bed three times a day for two whole hours until you make it, based on my calculations that\'s within your limits, and won\'t bring you any harm, besides your legs having a hard time keeping you standing that is".
Rya was speechless.
\'This pair of lewd dragon mother and son!\', she screamed in her heart.
