Rhys and Aurora walked out of their room, Rhys was planning to go back into his before Stella and Crystal woke up, alas when he opened the door and went out he saw Stella and Crystal talking as they walked down the hall.
They both stopped when they saw Rhys leaving Aurora's room, then they saw Aurora behind him, wearing proper clothes now. Still, the sisters noticed Aurora seemed more happy than usual.
"Uh..." Rhys froze as he stared at Stella and Crystal, he thought he might be berated since their relationship moved too fast.
Stella and Crystal smiled and looked at their mother, "Congratulation mother! You seem much happier!"
Crystal and Stella congratulated their mother, they did not think her relationship with Rhys would progress that fast but they weren't sad either.
Aurora smiled sweetly, she too fell more 'alive.' Still, she felt it was a shame Rhys was still too weak.
"Yes, you were right my daughters." Aurora's tone was much livelier than before.
Rhys smiled and looked at his future wives, he already saw them like that. Since they were together and declared their feelings, it naturally meant they would be together.
Still, Rhys felt a little down for many reasons, 'I am too weak compared to them... my talent has increased, so soon I will breakthrough... I just need more time until my bloodline changes my body. The Eternal Paragon Void Body also changes my spiritual roots, the origin of my talent.
'I also need to learn formations until I am confident enough to edit formations I see... but getting stronger comes first!'
Rhys was in his own world until he saw his three women look at him. Which made Rhys tilt his head, "What?"
The three girls just laughed.
"You seemed so serious about something." Aurora took the initiative to reply.
"Well yeah, I feel a bit down being weaker than my future wives... how could I not?" Rhys sighed.
"Don't worry, my soul deemed you to be 'stronger than me.' Meaning you will surpass me quickly." Aurora giggled like a little girl. Rhys nodded as well and thought the same.
——
Time passed, it had been half a year since Rhys arrived at the Palace, his routine had changed a lot but it was still very packed.
Every day he would spend time with Aurora, Stella, and Crystal, getting closer to each other. At night he'd cultivate or study formations. It all depended on different factors.
During those 6 months, Rhys had entered the True Sage level and had become a High-Level True Sage. His progress shocked the girls, but they dismissed it and naturally got used to it.
Rhys's bloodline had also progressed, reaching 5% purity, meaning his body went many changes. Currently, Rhys's progress looked as followed:
[
Name: Rhys Zuldroan
Race: Onniano (Dragon, Elf, Light Spirit, Phoenix)
Cultivation: True Sage High-Level
Cultivation Technique: [SUPREME] Eternal Paragon Void Body Cultivation Technique - Stage 2 Physique
Bloodline/s Purity: 10%
Dragon Scales {Lesser}: The scales of a part dragon, unlike True Dragons these scales are too small and weak to be of any use in battle. As your bloodline purity increases so will the power and size of the scales. New Scales will also appear through your body.
Fire Affinity {Mid}: Any use of fire-related attacks will be stronger and cost less energy. You also become immune to any Fire attacks. Comprehending the Law of Fire will also become easier. Power increases with bloodline purity.
Dragon Physique {Mid}: The sturdy physique of a dragon, due to the low purity of your bloodline the physique is very weak, for it to even have 'Dragon' in it is nothing but a joke. When {Polymorphing} into a dragon, the physique will display its full power.
Soul Flame {Mid}: All Phoenixes have soul flames, the flames that allow the soul to be healed as well as grant Phoenixes rebirth after death. Although the Soul Flame is very weak and has no uses it can still be used to attack. As the purity of your bloodline increases so will the power and uses of the Soul Flame.
Flame Regeneration {Low}: Use the flames within oneself to heal the body. The power of this ability is very low. It can regenerate small and large cuts, beyond that the purity of the bloodline would have to increase.
Unnatural Beauty {Mid}: All Elfs are known for their unnatural beauty which makes them highly sought after. Unnatural Beauty grants beauty to make them stand above the rest. As the purity of the bloodline increases so will the unnatural beauty you possess.
Nature Affinity {Mid}: The affinity with nature itself, allowing one to communicate with the plant life anywhere. This also grants a passive healing boost for the body. It also makes an attack with the Nature element become stronger and cost less energy to use, you also become more resistant to any type of technique with the Nature element. Comprehending the Universal Law of Life will also be easier.
Nature Sense {Lesser}: All Elfs can communicate with nature and use their senses as their own. Using this ability you will be able to connect to the plant life around you and see as well as feel what the plant life feels and sees. The higher the purity of the bloodline the higher the range as well as the more one can see and feel.
Perfect Beauty {Mid}: The Spirit race is known as the 'perfect' race. Their bodies are naturally perfect when they are born. The Perfect Beauty of the spirit race makes your own beauty seem perfect to anyone who looks at you. The chances of charming the opposite sex are also very high. The power of Perfect Beauty will increase with the purity of the blood.
Light Affinity {Mid}: Any attacks with the Light element become more powerful as well as cost less energy. You also become more resistant to any attack that has the Light attribute in them. Comprehending the Universal Law of Light becomes easier.
Light Sense {Mid}: You can sense anything around you that is touched by light, as long as the Light is created by you and touches it, you will be able to sense it. The range and power will increase with the purity of the blood.

Everything is self-explanatory, now Rhys had scales under and around his eyes, the scales were very small and weak and were gold-colored. They made Rhys simply look more charming with Unnatural and Perfect Beauty combined.
Rhys had trouble explaining to Aurora, Stella, and Crystal these changes, since it was hard for him to say how these changes happened. He just made the excuse that his bloodline is recovering, hence abilities related to his bloodline are returning.
——
Rhys woke up in the morning, he saw Aurora up and combing her black hair. Rhys smiled and gave her a kiss, it was a long passionate kiss where his tongue invaded her mouth.
Aurora did not try and gith back as she just let it happen, feeling his love for her. As they kissed Rhys and Aurora heard Stella's voice.
"Hey... what about me?" Her voice sounded as if she was hurt.
Rhys stopped kissing Aurora and looked at Stella with a lewd smile. That's right, during these 6 months of time, their relationship developed till the point they moved in together. They all slept on the same bed, still, they had yet to have sex.
They would only make out or cuddle at night, but that didn't mean they weren't ready. At one point Stella, Aurora, and Crystal said they were ready, but Rhys held back his growing lust since he wanted to take it slowly, one at a time. Making their first time special and something they can remember.
But during their sessions every night Rhys would grab their juicy asses and breasts and fondle them as he liked, making the girls moan. Still, they were very shy when it came to doing something shameful in front of each other, this is why Rhys usually only did it to one of them while the other bathed or was outside. Giving them his time and love.
"Stella, you don't know who you are playing with." Rhys spoke as he walked closer to Stella.
Stella as well as the other two girls came to realize Rhys was very possessive and domineering. Trying to tease him would result in themselves being teased until the point they could not take it. Rhys would also kiss them at random times, taking them by surprise.
It was like Rhys's personality was slowly changing, but for the girls, this was better. They like this Rhys better than the more calm and slow-going Rhys.
The reason for these changes? Well, Rhys was discovering parts of himself he never knew about, as he grew closer to the girls his heart mindset changed from protecting them and loving them to adoring them and becoming their shield. Still, he was too weak to carry out the latter.
The feelings Rhys never got to experience because of his past life were now coming out and making the mother and daughters great since Rhys displayed his affection for them much more often.
Although Rhys was alone most of the day since Aurora was still busy with her duties as Empress, while Stella and Crystal had to cultivate. Aurora had yet to talk with her Ancestors since she was waiting for Rhys to get stronger, which he was, and quick.
"AH~" A slight moan escaped Stella as she was pushed down into the bed and kissed, Rhys's hands moving wildly throughout her body which only had her sleepwear, just like her own mother she wore a lingerie and sheer clothing. They had no shame to sleep like this whatsoever since the moon could hit their skin at night.
Aurora sighed, knowing this is how things would end, while Crystal who always slept late woke up. The first thing she saw was Rhys pinning her sister into the bed as he kissed her passionately.
Crystal quickly became a red tomato as her face and ears flushed.
Rhys stopped kissing Stella who was breathing heavily, her breasts heaving up and down as she breathed.
Crystal gave Rhys a good morning kiss before she as well as her mother and sister went towards the bathroom to take a bath. Rhys, who was left alone talked to Ina in his mind.
'How has my progress been?'
"Much better, it has been over half a year since you last saw Edea and Ailin, don't you worry where they might be?" Rhys who heard these words thought for a moment before answering.
'Honestly, if I saw them again I would probably take them with me. But I still am not ready to leave this place. The Eternal Paragon Void Body Cultivation Technique is making me progress fast, but I feel like it isn't enough.
'For now, leaving a normal life with the girls is fine for me. But I know at some point I will have to go out and fight real battles. Not that it matters for now.'
Rhys stopped thinking as he remembered the slow life he was living now. He knew at one point this would have to stop, he was progressing fast but he was not training his skills at all.
——
Clash!
The sound of a spear clashing against another weapon was heard. A woman with blonde hair was moving around dodging and blocking the attacks of another woman with blonde hair.
The woman with the spear dodged and redirected the sword attacks of the other blonde woman, naturally these two women were Ailin and Edea.
They were deep in a forest training, the place they were at was known as Sleeping Woods. Since it is known a strong beast sleeps within it. Because of this not many dared explore the area, so it became the perfect spot for the mother-daughter duo to train and rest away from prying eyes.
Shng!
Swords and Spear clashed once more, Ailin was using her advantage over distance to attack, but Edea had more experience, so she quickly used her flames to boost her steps, making her move a greater distance.
"Hah!" Edea grunted when she swung her left sword only to be blocked by Ailin, who then got down and kicked Edea away.
Edea was also suppressing her cultivation to match Ailin's cultivation, which had increased to the Mid Level of the True Monarch Realm, compared to her Peak True Emperor cultivation from half a year ago, one could say her increase was of a lot.
Since every level had a larger difference in power, Ailin progressed quite a lot, Edea was in the same realm, High Celestial Saint, but it was natural since the amount of energy and law comprehension one had to go through was great.
Edea who was pushed back threw her right sword towards Ailin who channeled her fiery energy into her spear and parried the attack, sending the sword flying into the distance, but no.
Before the sword went too far it returned to Edea's right hand.
Edea looked at her daughter before sighing, "Don't you think we have sparred enough? It is very annoying to do this. Let's just go towards the Eternal Moon Empire and meet Rhys, or do you not want to?"
Ailin simply snorted, "Just like you said, Rhys wants to become stronger on his own, he doesn't want to feel weak. His progress was always slow, his cultivation should still be within the High to Peak True King realm, so we just have to wait."
Edea nodded and remembered Rhys, feeling her heart hurting. She remembered the rumors where Rhys was seen with the Princesses of the Eternal Moon Empire, unknowingly Edea became jealous, but when it came to matters of the heart she could not understand.
Edea looked at Ailin, who had become much more mature recently, going through multiple life and death fights against beasts of the same cultivation as hers.
Edea smiled as she was happy at the progress of Ailin.
