Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

At last, they finally broke off the kiss and rested their heads against one another while catching their breaths.

Both of them couldn't stop smiling after sharing such a meaningful moment together under the stars.

Suddenly, Mia let out a soft gasp and glanced back at Asher with wide eyes. She seemed to realize that they weren't alone anymore as she looked around nervously.

Asher followed suit and turned to where she was facing. They saw Lily standing nearby, observing them with interest.

Asher immediately loosened his grip around Mia's body when he noticed Lily approaching them.

She had stopped playing with butterflies and returned to the bench, curious about what her two older siblings were doing.

Asher noticed Lily, stood up, and walked up to her. "Lily, what's wrong? Are you tired? Do you want to go home?" He asked in a caring tone while placing a hand on her head.

Lily shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine. But big brother Ash, did you kiss big sister Mia? I heard that when two people love each other very much, they do something like this."

"Well, you're not entirely wrong, Lily, but—" Before Asher could explain further, Mia cut him off with a chuckle. "Yes, sweetie, we love each other a lot," she answered.

Lily tilted her head to the side and looked up at Asher for confirmation. He nodded in agreement with Mia. "Yes, my little angel. We love each other a lot. Is that okay?" he asked with a warm smile.

"Huh? Big brother Ash, then you don't love me?" Lily asked.

"Of course, I love you, Lily. I love you very much," he reassured her.

"But, big brother Ash, you never kissed me like this. Can you kiss me too?" Lily asked in a cute voice, causing Asher to chuckle at her innocence.

"My little angel, you shouldn't kiss anyone like this before you grow up to be a big girl."

"Why not?" Lily asked with a puzzled expression.

"Because this is a special type of kiss. You'll know when you're older. Do you understand that?" Asher explained.

Lily was still confused by his response, but eventually gave up asking questions and nodded her head.

Asher hugged the child and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Don't worry, Lily. You're my beloved little sister; I'll always love and protect you."

"Me, too, big brother Ash! I love you so much!" She exclaimed before hugging him tightly.

Mia watched their interaction with a smile on her face, finding the scene adorable. Seeing them bond warmed her heart, and she wished it would never end.

"Hey, you two. We should probably head back now since it's getting late," Mia said, interrupting them.

"Alright then, my little angel, why don't we go to your room for some rest after all we have been playing for so long?" Asher suggested with a soft smile on his face.

"Okay! Let's go, big brother Ash! But first, you have to promise that you'll play with me tomorrow too," Lily demanded excitedly.

Asher chuckled and patted her head. "Of course, Lily. I promise," he replied, which made the child smile even wider than before.

"Okay then, let's get going!" Lily cheered as Asher carried her back to the mansion with Mia beside them.

The three of them entered the large building and headed toward Lily's room. When they arrived, Asher placed her gently on the bed while Mia tucked her in.

"Good night, my little angel," Asher whispered softly while giving her a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"Good night, big brother Ash and big sister Mia!" Lily said, yawning before falling asleep quickly afterwards.

After ensuring Lily fell asleep, Asher and Mia left her room and went down the hallway until they reached the living area.

They sat next to each other on one of the couches placed in the spacious space. While staring into the fireplace nearby, Asher put his arm around Mia's shoulder and pulled her close to him.

She leaned her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes, feeling comforted by his presence.

"Today was nice, wasn't it?" Asher asked.

"Yes, I enjoyed every minute of it," Mia replied with a smile on her face. "Especially when I saw you with Lily, Asher. She adores you, you know."

"Haha, I can tell. I love her too, Mia, and I want to be the best big brother for her. Though I am more than just your brother, right?"

Mia smiled mischievously and replied, "Indeed, Asher. You're my man, too. I wish to be with you, Asher, in every way possible."

"Mmm," he hummed.

A comfortable silence surrounded them as they basked in each other's company, with only the sound of crackling firewood echoing throughout the room.

"Mia, how is your cultivation coming along? Are you making progress with your spirit?"

"Yes, it's actually very fun since I'm learning how to control my Terra Emberheart Nymph, which is quite powerful," she said excitedly.

Asher smiled at her enthusiasm. "I see. That's great, Mia. Keep it up, and I'm sure you'll become stronger much faster."

Mia turned to face him. "Thanks, Asher. Now that Lily is sleeping and Eleanor is also back to take care of her, I should go back to the cultivation chambers for some more practice."

"All right then. Don't overwork yourself, though," he reminded her.

She giggled. "I won't," Mia said, standing up and walking away from him. "See you later, Asher," she said with a wink before heading out of the room.

A moment passed after her departure when Asher also stood up from the couch and exited the mansion. As he strolled through the vast garden, he thought about the various events happening in his life right now.

First and foremost, he had reached the True Spirit Realm after successfully cultivating. Secondly, he was preparing himself for future battles that lie ahead.

Finally, he wanted to strengthen his relationships with the women around him so he wouldn't regret anything later on.

With those thoughts in mind, he walked along the stone path and admired all kinds of flowers growing nearby. He took deep breaths, inhaling their pleasant fragrances, which helped clear his mind from negative emotions and worries.

....

The night sky of the Mystic Starry Realm was always a sight to behold. With billions of twinkling stars scattered throughout the dark expanse, it was almost like stepping into a sea of shimmering diamonds.

The dark, endless horizon stretched out far beyond the human eye could be perceived, and the ethereal beauty of it all could be overwhelming for some people.

The night sky in this realm was different from the night sky in the outside world, which often lacked the majestic glow and breathtaking aura that this place possessed.

It was an awe-inspiring sight that gave anyone who saw it a sense of wonder and excitement for what lay beyond the celestial expanse.

To add to the stunning beauty of the sky, there were also clusters of clouds floating here and there, creating an almost surreal atmosphere.

These clouds drifted lazily across the dark canvas, shifting shapes and sizes as they went. They were not ordinary clouds; these were formed due to the intense concentration of the spirit essence in this realm.

The night air was crisp and cool, with a slight chill to it. This was not uncomfortable, though; it was a refreshing contrast to the warmth of the daytime sun.

The breeze ruffled through the leaves of the trees, and the rustling of the leaves against one another created a soothing melody.

In addition to the wind, there was also a faint scent in the air. It was a subtle, earthy fragrance, one that was reminiscent of the forest at night.

The aroma was not overpowering or unpleasant, but rather, it was calming and invigorating at the same time.

There were also tiny creatures darting about in the air, glowing with a soft green light. They looked like little fireflies, but they were actually spiritual beings that gathered around spirit essence.

These beings danced and darted around each other in a beautiful, hypnotic display, providing a fascinating sight to anyone watching them.

It was not just the beauty of the night that made the Mystic Starry Realm special. There was also a certain peacefulness that came with darkness.

Perhaps it was because darkness concealed one's faults and mistakes, allowing one to feel free to be oneself without judgment or fear of disapproval.

Or maybe it was because darkness allowed for new opportunities to arise and possibilities to open up where there previously were none. Whatever the reason may be, the serenity and tranquility of the night were something that everyone appreciated.

A slender figure of a woman with long gray hair flowed out behind her as she swam effortlessly through the water, enjoying the feeling of weightlessness. Her silver eyes shimmered with excitement as she splashed around and paddled around the pool. Her silver eyes looked beautiful and mysterious beneath the dark sky.

She was wearing a black bikini, which highlighted her voluptuous figure, and was currently alone in the rooftop pool of the mansion, enjoying herself in the moonlight. She moved gracefully in the water, seemingly dancing among its waves, completely in sync with nature.

It was as if she had been born to swim—to glide through the liquid world without resistance or effort, like a fish through an ocean current.

As Lysandra continued to swim back and forth, her gaze drifted upwards towards the star-filled night sky. It was an amazing view; there were countless twinkling lights shining brightly overhead, illuminating everything beneath them. She marveled at their beauty, thinking about how lucky she was to live in such a beautiful place.
