"You have a few hours to get ready before we go, hurry off now!" The first empress spoke before her aura exploded outwards and pushed them all back, out of the throne room.
Bang!
The doors shut close as Rhys remained dumbfounded.
"Rhys!' Rhys suddenly came back to himself as he saw his girls hu him tightly, they were shuddering and seemed like they would break down at any moment. Rhys used his energy to levitate them up and took them back to his room, he wanted some privacy.
Thus quickly he returned to his room with his three beautiful women who were still shuddering, one inside Rhys put them down on the bed lightly before he shut the door close.
After that, he looked back towards the bed, where the three beautiful women lay and shuddered. He sighed at his own fate, trouble always finding him, but he did not mind it really. In the end, it would help him get stronger, right?
He walked closer towards the bed and looked at them, his eyes turning sad. How could such strong, proud women turn like this? Love, they loved him too much to live a life without him, they wanted to accompany him.
"Aurora... Stella... Crystal..." All Rhys could do was mutter their names as he saw they were afraid, afraid of being unable to be with him, and forced to stay back in the palace. Before they would not have cared but now they all wanted a life with Rhys, but they knew Rhys would not stay in the Empire forever, he was destined for more.
"Rhys...!" Crystal, the kindest and most cheerful of the trio was the first to break down and jump towards Rhys. Her eyes were full of tears as she did not want to stay here in this cursed place for the rest of her life, which at this point was long. The other two soon followed, although Aurora did not cry but simply shuddered as she hugged him, her body sticking as close to him as possible.
"Rhys, I want to stay with you...!" Crystal spoke within tears, her beautiful face full of tears making her look heartbreaking.
Rhys simply spoke in a low, comforting voice as his warm fiery energy spread around his beloved, making them feel warm, "Don't worry, I will most definitely succeed to make sure we can all be together. All four of us!"
Rhys comforted Crystal, while Aurora and Stella felt warm hearing his voice, full of confidence. His aura spreading, the pride of a dragon soaring and convincing the girls he was speaking the truth.
Looking at his sad Crystal, Rhys made sure to give her a little reward to cheer her up, so naturally, he raised her chin up and took her mouth, her white teeth opening and her red, cute tongue appearing, the saliva in her mouth coating it as he gave her a passionate kiss.
"Mhm~" Rhys smiled as he kissed Crystal, making her release a low, seductive moan as his tongue and hers fought inside of her mouth, their saliva mixing and her seductive taste being tasted by Rhys, her saliva was both sweet and warm.
Naturally if one got a kiss, then so must the others.
After breaking the kiss with Crystal a string of saliva connected them before it ripped away due to their distance. He moved his face towards Stella and licked his lips, they no longer were shaking due to Rhys's statement.
Stella closed her eyes before she was kissed, she felt her sister's taste from Rhys's lips. But soon Rhys's taste overpowered her senses as she let him roam wildly in her mouth as her body heated up. His tongue did a mess of her mouth as if covered her mouth with his saliva and taste, making Stella take a loud gulp as his taste made her tremble in slight ecstasy.
They kissed for a good four minutes before Rhys gave Aurora a kiss, as passionate as the others. Her mature body pressed against his well-built body as their kiss was full of even more love than the former, simply because they did it for so long and tried so many poses that they got to know each other much, much better than Stella and Crystal.
His tongue mixed with the taste of her daughters making her feel ashamed, but unbeknown to her she was also turned on. She felt her body heat up under the gazes of her daughters as she made out with Rhys. Naturally, Rhys controlled his body to not do anything dumb, he did not have time to take any of them and definitely not enough time for all three, as they had yet to get comfortable enough to do it in front of each other, they had only done it once after all.
Rhys spent the remaining few hours cuddling and making out with his three beloved women, they talked and got to know each other even better, Aurora and her daughters got as close as sisters rather than mother and child.
This made Rhys both happy and lustful seeing three charming, similar-looking women together and talking about their nights with him.
——————
"So you are ready?" The first empress asked as she tied her long black hair into a ponytail, her slender white neck coming into view and making Rhys look away.
They were both in the balcony of the Palace, looking down on the city, the soft wind making their long hair sway as their robes fluttered, revealing her curves and his toned body.
"Yes.."
"I see." She did not speak any further as she grabbed Rhys by the collar of his robes and flew, and she flew fast.
Fwsh!
She broke through the sound and a boom was heard in the area, her Peak Supreme Saint energy covering Rhys to protect him from this speed. The wind in front of her was broken apart as she experienced no drag of any kind as she flew kilometers every second, the Palace disappearing quickly as Rhys thought back of his last conversation with his beloved women.
...
Rhys looked back at his three women, Aurora, Stella, and Crystal, their eyes slightly red as they seemed to have cried a lot.
Rhys felt his heart clench in pain as he saw their sad looks, "Do not worry. No matter how long I take I will return, then we will be free to go wherever we want, no?" His smile made the girls smile as they gave Rhys one last hug, making sure to remember his scent.
"Yes... we will wait for your successful return, love." Aurora spoke, as her two daughters did not speak but simply hugged him tighter, actions spoke louder than words.
"Haha." Rhys chuckled as he departed, not before giving his women a passionate kiss, he felt saddened he was leaving them like he left Edea and Ailin.
Before he left he took out three Jade slips from the Jade ring. He handed one to his women as they looked at him with a questionable look on their beautiful faces.
"My beloved women, these are cultivation techniques that would fit your previous cultivation techniques, it would make you progress faster. So make sure to cultivate diligently!"
Rhys had taken out cultivation techniques that Swarshlen left behind on the Jade ring before he died, it seemed his foresight had foreseen Aurora, Stella, and Crystal in his life as the cultivation techniques fir the mother and daughters.
"Rhys?! This is too much! It is a grade even I can't tell!" Aurora spoke before Stella and Crystal realized the true grade of these cultivation techniques.
'Ah... I forgot they do not have the knowledge of what is beyond High grade...! Cultivation techniques in the high grade are the best they have here!' Rhys slapped himself in his mind for forgetting such things.
"Listen here, you are my women. Naturally, I must assure your growth. These techniques will guarantee you a smooth and painless increase in strength! So please do it for me..." Rhys smiled as the three girls were moved to tears, they nodded and grasped the Jade slips as if their lives depended on them.
"Good, I must be on my way. Remember not to share these cultivation techniques!"
"Yes, my love!" Stella replied cheerfully, although she was very sad. But she put on a tough front as she watched her beloved leave. Crystal shed tears as she hugged the jade slip tightly. Aurora looked up, pridefully to hide her depressed feelings.
They watched Rhys's back as he walked out of their room, which would only host them now for the foreseeable future.
'No matter, I will return! No matter how long it takes!'
His thoughts drove him forward as he declared in his heart, making an oath he would not break.
...
As he recalled those memories, the first empress stared at Rhys's foolish smile.
'Even now the boy is able to smile, he must deeply love them. Well, even if he fails I would give them to him... they deserve a better future than to be stuck in the Palace for the rest of their lives.'
'I had to put on a tough front to make the boy move the way I wanted. Thankfully it worked, not as long as he can complete 'that' I will be freed from the curse of the originator!' Her thoughts were straightforward, she wanted Rhys to do something for her, if he succeeded good for him and her. If he failed... well she would have to give up.
'Don't disappoint me boy!'
Her speed picked up as she flew even faster than before, it took her a few days to reach the edge of the continent they were in, but she did not stop once for sleep, Rhys by now had simply closed his eyes and thought about different things as he was dragged around.
The first empress flew over the sea, close to the surface, her raw speed making the blue sea split as all wildlife moved away from her, the ones that dared to get close to her froze before they knew what happened.
——————
In a flash a week went by, the first empress for the first time since the journey began started to slow down. Rhys opened his golden eyes, the multiple other colors hidden within slightly flashing.
"Where are we?" Rhys was confused since they were in the middle of nowhere, only the sea surrounded them and no land could be seen.
"Watch." The first empress spoke as her aura soared and spread forwards, Rhys's eyes widened when he saw a formation appear and light up when it felt her energy, slowly an island was unveiled.
'A formation was hiding an island!' Rhys felt awed at her prowess and the level of the formation, he could not sense any energy fluctuations, and formations of such scale and level always affected the surrounding energy!
Rhys saw an island that seemed normal on a first look, but his eyes slightly glowed a golden hue, making his already golden eyes shine brighter as his pupils turned into vertical slits, but it was only briefly before they returned to normal.
'Oh?' The first empress noticed the change in Rhys's eyes but stayed quiet, her thoughts to herself.
Rhys's eyes slightly widened as he saw the true form of the island, the plantlife was all blue, the leaves, plants, and even bark were all different shades of blue, the ground itself was a moon blue.
'Beautiful.' Those were Rhys's first thoughts, he saw with his Draconic Eyes. an ability he unlocked when his bloodline reached 25% purity, the energy in this place was much, much larger than even the continent he lived on, and the island wasn't as big, only the size of the Palace he lived on for some months.
"Behold, this is Moon Haven Island, a place where the first Eternal Moon Spirit was born and the origin of our kind. This is where the challenge you will take is, if you pass your women will be freed. If not...!" Her voice trailed off, making Rhys shudder as he felt slight killing intent.
"I understand!" Rhys spoke, he felt that whatever this challenge was would not be easy. After all the first empress did not seem normal.
"Let us go down before we begin anything. Follow me, boy." She spoke as she let Rhys go and Rhys started to fly with his own energy.
They both flew closer, once they were closed enough Rhys felt a chill cover his body, 'It is full of Yin energy! If Aurora came here there is no telling how much her comprehension of Yin Laws would improve!'
His thoughts immediately moved to the lovely, mature woman of his.
"This place is where the moon shines the brightest in our world, and this is the place our creator left her inheritance!" First Empress spoke as she smiled at Rhys, but it wasn't a kind smile, yet even then it was a beautiful smile in Rhys's eyes.
Rhys slightly gulped when he heard 'inheritance' since he knew they were hard to pass because of all the trials.
'This is my only chance to let them be free! I will do whatever she wants me to do!' Rhys thought as he took a deep breath, his eyes shining with conviction, making the first empress smile charmingly.
