A few hours later, Aster who was now feeling fresh and relaxed like never before, opened his eyes, there is no concept of night and day in the mind space, since there is an eternal starry sky there, though he can feel how much time has passed in the outside world and instinctively know how much has passed in the mind space.
He used the mind connection to tell Alice and the others, to not worry and that he and Lilia will be staying "asleep" in the bed for the whole day, the food he brough with him though satisfied their hunger when ate, it didn't nurture their bodies.
From Lilia's side, at her level a few months without eating were nothing and the same applied to Aster, the vitality in his blood could keep him going without any problem, so that part was covered as well.
"If these were our real bodies, we would have been all wrinkled after eight ours in the bathtub, you know", mumbled Rya, she woke up a few seconds ago.
"What are you saying, after being asleep with that smiling expression in your face~", said Lilia as she moved upwards to plant a kiss on Aster's lips.
"Mn~", Aster gladfully accepted the offer and joined his lips with Lilia's, Lilia even entwined her tongue with his, while she gave Lilia a challenging gaze.
"You two can't keep your hands off each other for even a day, lewd dragons", cutely mumbled Rya.
Once they stopped the kiss, Lilia licked her lips and then jumped out of the bathtub to dry herself and put on some clothes, not without swaying her hips in a seductive way.
"Thanks for the meal darling, don't forget our promise, today you have to help me with my training, all the day~".
Aster softly laughed, he dragged Rya's pretty face closer to his and then kissed her, because he could feel her jealousy, which made her look quite cute in his eyes, to see the dignified Empress acting like this, it had a charm of its own.
"Let's see how I your treatment going", said Aster, his pupils changed to those of a dragon and then he looked at a small area of Rya's pretty neck, to his relief, the red tone of the flaw in which he worked yesterday, had gotten a bit less intense once again, now that a connection existed, Rya could truly heal.
Aster nodded happy with the result, he then perversely smiled and before Rya could react, he fondled her right breast.
"Mnn~", Rya who was taken by surprise let out a cute moan, but she then covered her mouth, feeling Lilia's teasing gaze on her, before she looked at Aster with accusatory eyes.
Aster softly laughed and then kissed Rya's forehead as he whispered.
"Don't mind me, miss, I'm just a doctor doing his job, there is a separated area right here which can be connected with less soul energy than yesterday's".
Rya pouted, she knew he was just taking advantage of the situation to fondle her, but it was true that she felt Aster's soul energy entering her body.
After a couple of seconds Aster let out a sigh of relief, he didn't forget to gently pinch Rya's nipple before letting go of her.
This time Rya was prepared since she knew he was going to do it, so she tightly shut her mouth to not let Lilia hear her moan, which made mother and son laugh, the more she acted like this, the more they both wanted to tease her, you could say this… tendency, runs in their blood.
"That should be enough for today, I'll leave you the materials to prepare the medicinal bath as well as some of Rigel's flames to mix them properly, I'll come check on you later".
"Mm", Rya whose face was flushed nodded and after hugging Aster one last time, she let go of him and got out of the bathtub, though she wasn't as explicit as Lilia, she still gave Aster a little show of her naked back view, a dessert Aster happily enjoyed.
"Watching two naked beauties in the morning, this looks like a good day", jokingly said Aster as he also got out of the bathtub.
Unlike yesterday where he nearly fainted after helping Rya with her treatment, though today he only spent around 90% of his soul energy in one go, he didn't even feel lethargic or had any side effect.
'Mm, this should be because of the way I train my soul, it must have become a bit sturdier after that, I guess it's two birds one stone, I help by cute Empress and get stronger in the process, this indeed looks like my cultivation path', thought Aster as he nodded.
Unlike other people who meditate and go through introspections or other spiritualist kind of stuff, Aster trains his soul the same way he trains his body, by exercising it and then letting it recover, naturally such a barbarian way of training the soul, has high risks but also high rewards.
His soul has gotten used to him using a bunch of soul energy in one go, it has grown sturdier in order to allow Aster keep his routine ongoing, even after doing the same, which is good because the idea is to build a new thread in Rya's soul once a day for now, until he has linked all the completely separated pieces, then he'll change the focus to creating more and more threads to accelerate the process, but he is still too far from that point.
While Rya sighed realizing she'll have to stay naked probably most of the time, until she manages to reduce the time it takes her to absorb the effects of the medicinal bath, Aster happily hummed as he approached Lilia.
Aster was surprised that she hadn't jumped on him first thing in the morning and she was temporarily satisfied with a kiss, but he knew she probably had something in mind, so he didn't say anything.
"Come here darling, today I want you to hold me and spoil me all the day, while I train~", said Lilia, Aster chuckled but he still obliged, she already managed to bring out one of the materials from the ring, so this much was fine.
She was wearing that white sundress, which Aster bought her a long time ago, back at the Azure Sky planet, but it wasn't the same, apparently, she brought the original one to a specialized shop in the Central Capital and ordered a few of them to be made with some adjustments, the one she was currently using looked a bit loose, because it was a couple of sizes larger on the chest and lower back areas, than her usual clothes, Aster knew why though.
Aster sat behind Lilia and hugged her from behind, placing his hands on her belly, which made Lilia put on a happy and comfortable expression, the pretty scale pattern on her upper back shone and then her wings appeared on her back, as always though they looked tyrannical, for Aster they felt comfy and smooth, not to mention her body now fitted the dress.
No, it was more than that, the dress was perfectly clad around her body, accentuating the explosive curves and the taller body, she got when she manifested her wings.
"Fufu, you are quite lively today darling, do you want mommy to take care of it for you~", said Lilia with a teasing voice, as she felt the hard thing pressing against her ass, she even grinded it against Aster.
Aster bitterly smiled, he now knew what was Lilia's plan, she was getting back at him for letting her in that horny state yesterday.
"Don't you know that revenge isn't a good thing mom", mumbled Aster, but Lilia simply put a confused expression before saying.
"Mm, I wonder what are you talking about, lets focus on the training, darling~", she even winked at Aster, making the latter sigh.
"Okay, show me how you take something out of the ring".
Lilia giggled, now that she got what she wanted, her expression turned serious, and all her focus was put in the ring that was resting on her hand, after a couple of seconds a few pieces of furniture appeared in front of them.
Aster's eyes glowed, he was surprised that Lilia got this far in just a day, her training consisted in increasing her control over the mind space, back then when she manifested her wings for the first time and then created that volcanic area as her "nest", Rya said that she somehow got to control the mind space just like Aster, or herself.
Which shouldn't have been the case, Aster is the master of the mind space, it is normal for him to be able to do as he pleases here, it took him some time but he learned to bring things from the outside world here, as for Rya she was the one in charge when Aster wasn't aware of the mind space's existence, so it is only normal for her to have some authority over it.
But Lilia is not even a full-fledged star maiden yet, considering she can't use the ability of her star properly, and Aster isn't strong enough to bring the girls here on his own yet, but now, after that realization he had at the secret realm, he understood he doesn't need to carry everything on his shoulders, since he isn't alone, he's got a family to support him, and he is there to support them as well.
So, if there is something he can't do, he just needs to ask the correct girl for help, which in this case is Lilia, taking stuff from the outside world to the mind space is the training he thought for her, because he wants Lilia to be able to bring the others here, in other words he is creating a shortcut, since there is still some time before he surpasses his first tribulation.
And he doesn't want to see Alice and Aria or any of the girls in that state ever again, they even lost some weight after being worried about him, he can't take all of them with him at the same yet, since when in a mission he has to be moving all the time, also they all have their own trainings and things to do, since they aren't decorations, but cultivators and most importantly his precious partners.
"You progressed quite a bit in just a day, how did you find out the "trick" to bring things from the outside here?", asked Aster.
Lilia smiled feeling happy that her beloved son complimented here, this is why she put so much effort into deciphering how to do what Aster tasked her.
"This place is quite strange darling, physical and spiritual things can coexist and interact with each other, but it's not that easy to do, when you bring something from the real world, the easiest way is to bring it just "spiritually", just like us right now, our bodies are still outside on the bed, while our souls or a part of them is in here".
"At first I failed because I tried to directly bring a physical thing out of the ring, it took me a lot of thought, but then I separated the process in two, first I took out a thing in its spirit form and then I brought the physical form, once they were both here, they naturally joined and returned to be a single thing", concluded Lilia.
Aster slowly clapped, it's the same process he instinctively learned when his control over the mind space increased, unfortunately he couldn't bring living beings until he surpassed his tribulation, but Lilia should be able to, she is way stronger than that and she can control the mind space through some unknown way, maybe it's because she desired to, which would mean it was thanks to Orionis.
'Just as Rya said, mom's star is quite rebellious', thought Aster, he then asked Lilia to take out the remaining materials from the ring, which she now could do with ease.
"Oh, by the way darling, now I can enter this place whenever I want to, so I'll be coming here with you every day to "train" and have some fun~", said Lilia as she licked her lips while her red ruby eyes glowed with a predatory gaze.
Aster tightened his embrace on Lilia and then gently bit her neck.
"You are getting quite daring lately, Lilia, it seems like a nice punishment is in order", said Aster, unlike Alice who likes to be dominated, Lilia and Aster "fight" for supremacy in bed, both, like teasing the other, though they ultimately end up satisfying and spoiling the other, that's they usual dynamic.
"Dear heavens, keep your pants on for a single day, you lewd mother and son!", shouted Rya, she lost her focus, when she heard Lilia saying she'll be now coming into the mind space every day, the only thing that prevented her from being in bed with Aster all the time, was the lack of time, and that problem disappeared as of right now.
'Sigh, goodbye to my calm and peaceful days', thought Rya, naturally Aster wasn't going to "forgive her", she could already imagine all the things that pervert lover of hers, was going to do with them, that being said, her smile betrayed her troubled mind.
Leaving aside that little episode, Lilia was a bit confused of the materials Aster asked Helena to bring, there were furniture and construction materials, but then she realized that if Aster wanted to bring everyone here, he needed to build a place for them to live, since the bedroom at the highest spot of Hyperion wasn't large enough to fit all of them, the bed which was only large enough for five or so people basically occupied the whole space.
"So, you are going to make a house for us darling, I better hurry up and learn how to bring living beings here then~", mumbled Lilia.
Aster nodded, it is normal that Lilia realized his intentions, he then handed her another ring with more things to practice, once she mastered brining inanimate objects, she could start doing some tests on living beings, naturally the she was going to try with some spirit beats first.
"That is a side reward though, I want you to learn how to control Orionis's power, because I think it's going to help you become stronger, so that you can smash those idiots on the ground, when we retu said Aster referring to the Drage family members.
Lilia giggled, she leaned backwards and snuggled on Aster's chest, as she continued with her training with a happy smiling expression.
…
And so, the days passed, they just repeated the same process every day, Aster spent almost all his soul energy on Rya and then spoiled Lilia to increase her "desire", which she used to increase her mastery on controlling the mind space trough Orionis's power, and before they noticed their date was coming to an end.
Since the tenth day they had to leave early, the training was cancelled and instead, Aster told them to dress up to finish with a real date-like meal the three of them together, which resulted in the current scene where Lilia was wearing a red dress which was quite… flashy, and Rya was wearing a black dress.
But that wasn't all, during the ten days in which Aster helped Rya with her treatment, something changed, all her hair finished turning silver and her eyes also finished turning golden toned, she also but she looked "livelier", which was a proof that she wasn't just hiding her wounds, but healing them
"Uwaah, you suck at cooking Rya~", said Lilia as she finished preparing one of the dishes.
"Shut up, I haven't cooked ever before… so it's normal, right Aster?", asked Rya as she turned to ask Aster for some emotional support.
Aster softly laughed, Rya was really bad at cooking, he isn't a pro in any mean, but he could manage to make something eatable, Rya on the other hand, burned a couple things to a crisp.
"Don't worry about that, let's enjoy our date", said Aster avoiding the subject, he brought the plates to the table and they sat together.
"Get along better from now on you two", said Aster.
"Hmph, that exhibitionist cut my dress to look like this", mumbled Rya, she originally chose a long black dress, to make contrast with her now silver hair, but Lilia deemed it too "boring" and she modified it to practically show all the chest area, barely covering the lower part using straps to hold her breasts in place, Aster had to admit he was enjoying the view.
"Don't be shy now, Aster has already seen everything there is to see anyway, so why not proudly flaunt our chams~", said Lilia as she stuck her tongue at Rya.
Her dress was even more daring than Ryas, it was a red night dress with a triangle shape for the chest, and a side cut that started barely below her thighs, showing a lot of skin, it truly suited her.
Rya sighed, there was no use in wasting her strength by fighting this pair of lewd mother and son, so she instead grabbed her cup and offered a toast.
"Whatever, take care of me", though Lilia was a headache for her, she was happy to have someone to talk with besides Aster, he was her lover, but she was now discovering the joy of having a friend, even if it was Lilia, she had to admit that it wasn't bad at all.
Aster smiled seeing those two getting along better than before, he drank the wine in his cup as he inwardly laughed, he was now one step ahead in his plan to embrace them both in the outside world at the same time.
