Chapter 280: Goodbye Azure sky planet
Chapter 280: Goodbye Azure sky planet
The little farewell party continued without any problems, Aster stayed next to Aria and with Arthur for the rest of the event since she was the one that would miss a relative the most out of all the girls. Of course, Aster made sure to play one last "joke" on his dear father-in-law, before the guests were guided to their respective rooms, Aster approached Arthur and said in a voice only he and Nadia could hear. "You look a bit pale father-in-law, I hope this helps you a bit", he said as he handed Arthur a bottle with a red label.
Arthur at first felt touched thinking Aster gave him more cultivation resources, but once he left with Aria and the others, he carefully read the specifications on the label and felt a vein popping on his neck The bottle contained nearly one hundred 'yang replenishing" pills, a little gift Aster bought from Wieland Kraft, since he didn't want Arthur to be accidentally wringed out dry by Nadia. Arthur suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, a familiar but predacious gaze was suddenly fixated on his back, before he could say anything he was dragged to their room by Nadia. Aware of the result his gift will cause, Aster chuckled as they walked towards their bedroom, it was quite late after the party so everyone was going to sleep since they will be leaving early tomorrow. While Mylene and Camila said goodnight before entering their respective rooms, as if she suddenly remembered something, Eris stopped midway as she was about to enter hers.
"Aster, here is the master control for the barrier you asked me to set up", she said as she threw a talisman along with a small book Aster caught the things, he flipped through the book with his spirit sense and gave Eris a thankful gaze, not only she created the barrier but she even compiled an instruction book for Arthur.
Eris nodded before she happily entered her room, making Ilan softly giggle to herself.
"Slowly but surely". As soon as Aster closed the door of Lilia's bedroom, different clothes fell on the ground as all the girls changed into a more comfortable get up, well almost all of them since Lilia directly got naked as she stole a gaze at her son.
"Don't look at me like that, we'll have tome for that later at the spaceship, for tonight let's go to sleep already". Aster saw his mother's happy expression turning sad but then her eyes seemed to glow for a split of a second as she threw herself onto the bed. "Fine but the first day of travel out of this star cluster you are mine", she said as she accommodated her body on the bed, with her arms extended towards him.
Aster laughed, he floated towards the her and let his body fall on the bed just to be embraced by Lilia a second later, the other girls exchanged gazes before they also took their places, last time Sarina and Kana cuddled with him, so today was Alice and Aria's turn. Each one of them hugged one of his arms while Lilia snuggled on top of him, she rubbed her face against Aster's chest before closing her eyes to sleep. Aster looked at the ceiling he has been seeing since he reincarnated in this world and he couldn't help but feel a bit weird, this will be the last time he will be sleeping in this room which has been his home for the past twelve years. He looked at his sister on his right and Aria at his left, here in this planet he felt the warm comfortability of a family for the first time, fell in love for the first time, fought for his life for the first time and if his guess was correct, he recovered someone important for him for the first time too. "Damn, I sound like an old man thinking about such stuff after only twelve years", he thought as he chuckled, back at earth it's not an uncommon thing for people to suddenly had random thoughts at midnight, but despite his tough life he never experienced something like that, in fact he never dreamed, going to sleep for him was just closing his eyes and opening them exactly eight hours later.
Inside the mind space Rya which was leisurely laying on their bed, could feel Aster's bitter mood and she sighed as she looked at the starry sky.
"It was like... being empty", she said in a voice so low that it was like the buzzing of a mosquito. Aster closed his eyes in the real world, all his memories since the moment he opened his eyes as a baby in this same room flashed in his mind, he didn't know if karma or destiny existed and to be honest, he didn't care, but something was true. "The suffering was worth if that's what allowed me to get what I have now", he thought as he fell asleep, not without tightening his arms around the girls, taking them by surprise. Lilia, Alice and Aria suddenly opened their eyes, they exchanged gazes and nodded at each other as if they perfectly knew what the other was thinking, before they also responded in kind clinging onto Aster sharing their warmth with him.
The night passed without anything else happening, in fact Aster felt quite comfortable even in his sleep, at some point he felt a little body sneaking in between him and Aria, but he ignored it and just kept sleeping. When morning came, Aster's eyelids trembled a couple of times, he slowly opened his eyes and identified the one that got into the way of Alice, Kana's cute sleeping face was a few centimeters away from him, surprisingly Lilia moved a bit to the side, just enough for Kana to be sleeping on top of him. Aster softly laughed, he pinched her little nose with his fingers forcing her to breath with her mouth, which gave her away, only when she pouted Aster let go of her nose.
Her big eyes looked directly at Aster's giving him an accusatory gaze. "Little girl, you know Alice is going to get pissed at you for this, it was her turn after all", said Aster as he pecked her soft cheeks. Kana giggled letting out some cute sounds as she enjoyed her morning kiss. "Mm... big brother looked a bit sad, so I thought of helping you cheer up-". Aster patted her head, finding her worried expression rather cute, he then focused his attention on Lilia which was doing a really bad job trying to not look jealous while feigning to be asleep. "Feeling jealous of Kana, who would believe you are trying to push those three into my arms", whispered Aster at his mother's ears. He copped her face before pressing his lips against hers, only then she opened her eyes and answered to his previous affirmation, with her ruby eyes slightly glowing in red light. "I also said that I didn't mind as long as I'm always the first one to receive your love, darling-", she said as she moved her body upwards until her breasts were covering his face. Aster inwardly shook his head, but this possessiveness of hers was also part of Lilia's charm, and the fact that she could control it for his sake made her worthy to be considered the "first wife". Lilia only unwillingly let go of him after he drank a fair share of her milk, making him remember their old routine, specially because he could feel Alice gaze on him just like when they were younger. He kissed both Alice and Aria, which to their displease didn't last too much, but there was a good reason to it, they needed to leave early because according to Lilia, since this was such a low ranked star cluster, the space gate can only be opened once a day which would be about the midday in the Azure sky planet. "Come on go to the bathroom you two, I'll reach you in a bit", he said as he patted Alice and Aria's asses copping a good feel of them before waking the last sleeping beauty. Lilia smiled, she thought her son was feeling a bit gloomy but apparently that wasn't the case, she went ahead with the rest of the girl except Sarina leaving them alone for a moment, she was the only one which couldn't participate in the cuddling, so it was only fair for her to be spoiled first thing in the morning. "Hmmm-", Sarina let out an adorable sound as she enjoyed Aster caressing her face, their lips softly pressing against each other, her heart felt really sweet right now, to the point that she wouldn't mind repeating this more often. That being said they also caught up with the rest on the bathroom and after washing each other all of them went to the dining room where Camila, Eris, Mylene, Arthur, Nadia and Camila's aunt and uncle as well as the old woman which owned the fragrant pavilion were already waiting for them. Kana and Sarina slightly bowed towards the old woman showing their respect as they were taught by her, making the old woman smile, she now knew Sarina surpassed the star tribulation realm and she had the honor to impart her knowledge to such a powerful person. "Let this be my parting gift for you two", said the old woman as the maids started bringing lots of dishes which were personally prepared by her, she also threw a spatial ring at Alice which contained a lot of food for their travel. They enjoyed their breakfast together and after toasting one more time, they all went to the rooftop, it was still quite early in the morning so the sun was still rising on the horizon.
Aster handed Arthur the master control as well as the book with its instructions to Arthur, although Arthur was surprised by the fact that their planet was now protected like a fortress, he left the subject for later, he offered the black-haired youth which changed he and his daughter's life so much a handshake.
"Take care you two, don't forget to pay us a visit in the future... you better become stronger kid because I have some pending issues with you", said Arthur feeling his hips sore.
Aster laughed, he looked at the girls and saw them nodding at him, Li la
