Genesis.
That was the name given to her by her one and only master. She does not have any memories of her mother, after all, she had been in an egg since she was able to 'sense.'
But the feelings she felt as she was handed the ring were warmth. A familiar type of love never felt before. She felt safe for some strange reason when she was handed the ring.
'Are these feelings because he is my master?' Genesis thought, she felt no love, she was too inexperienced to know what love was.
But she felt happy that she was at least given something to cherish, sure she would use every resource inside and only keep an empty ring. But for her, that was enough to treasure.
She placed the ring in her hand and stared at it, as a pureblooded cerulean phoenix Genesis knew her emotions were more chaotic than a normal human. Dragons were overbearing, Phoenixes were emotional, they cared for their pack, Qilins are unattached, they do not care about others unless they're direct family, and even then it is very limited.
In other words, every one of the origin beasts is special, they have their own personalities. Thus Genesis' emotions were heightened, more so than normal.
She saw Rhys turn around and start walking out of the room, thus she spoke out, "Where are you going, Master?"
"Outside."
"I don't want to." Genesis felt scared of the unknown, her mother was not here, she would most likely never meet her as she was dead. Rhys, although she trusted him because of the master-servant contract, she did not fully trust him enough to blindly follow him.
The ring she was given was for her growth as she was useless, that much she could tell. But she still felt warmth since Rhys at least cared somewhat for her.
"Scared?" Rhys asked, Genesis nodded.
Rhys sighed and walked closer to her. He put his hand over her head and started to pat her, her cerulean hair felt soft and made Rhys feel cool. He wanted to comfort the little girl before him and win her trust, otherwise, their contract will not go far.
"I know you are scared, but I can't hurt you. We are connected by a contract, you and I are bound by conditions, thus I would never try to purposely hurt you. I know you do not trust me but that is fine. But you must remember that I must also trust you enough to have my back
"If I can't trust you, what do you think will happen in the future? I will have to watch out for both you and my enemies. So let's try to trust each other enough to have our back. You were just born, you have no experience of the real world.
"There are a lot of things you do not know, but I promise you that the people we will meet soon are nice. They are my wives." Rhys spoke, they were not his wives, they had yet to marry, but it was fine for him to see them that way, right?
"Wives?" Genesis was curious about that word.
"For men, when they love them enough, they will marry a woman, thus becoming husband and wife. In my case, I love many women, thus they are my wives. I am sure you might not understand now, but you will one day."
"So let's go, trust me." Rhys put out his hand and stopped patting her, Genesis thought for a moment before she timidly took his hand, she would at least begin to trust him more, she needed more knowledge and experience, she was curious about what love was.
But for now, as her master said, it was not important.

Rhys went out to introduce the newly born Genesis to his girls, and Ailin, his future girl. When Rhys introduced her, he almost felt death, the gazes they gave Rhys when he introduced a new woman almost made him shudder.
'Damn, they really are scary.' Rhys thought as the girls began to question Genesis.
"What is that ring on your hand?" Ailin spoke as she pointed at the ring Rhys had given her that contained all the materials.
"It was given to me by my lord." Genesis spoke cheerfully.
All of the girls glared at Rhys, 'Fuck, she will be the reason for my death!'
Rhys sighed before he explained, "It contains materials to help her grow, now, Aurora, Stella, and Crystal, I'd appreciate it if you could help her. I have no experience with Ice and Yin."
The girls nodded as they understood before they turned to look at the charming Genesis, who looked so innocent, like a little girl, even with her body.

Days passed once more, Rhys spent time deepening his love for Ailin, he enjoyed her cheerful personality that always seemed to shine. Rhys liked teasing her, as her reactions were the most lively.
As they walked side by side, Rhys made sure to whisper in her ears lewd things, making the cute Ailin grow red before the harrumphed and stormed off, 'Acting like a little kid. How cute.'
Rhys smiled as he followed after her, days passed like this, peacefully. Rhys also made sure to help his women cultivate and check their progress, he wanted them to get strong enough before he ascended, the best way to do this would be via dual cultivation. Yet he had no manual for it.
Genesis also grew, quite fast one should say. As a beast, she could absorb the materials without purifying them or turning them into pills like humans and other species needed. So her power quickly grew, the materials she ate were of good grades after all.
As she spent time with Rhys she grew fond of him, although she did not spend time with him much as Rhys spent time with his women.
Ailin and Rhys had now kissed and would hold hands, but not much after that, Rhys knew he had to take it slowly with Ailin, as she was a delicate flower, alas, he did not know, at least not for now, how wild she'd be in bed. Ailin herself did not know.

Author's Note: I will be going on a hiatus for a week, I will re-write all earlier chapters, I feel like I rushed shit too much. Thus I will start to re-edit them and rewrite them, some things will be removed and some added, but nothing major that would change the pace of the story. Because of this, I will be unable to post chapters, I have many written but they are stockpiled for later, this will be the last chapter of the week.
