The morning star rose once more above the beautiful blue sky illuminating the beauty of the world.
Or more specifically,
'Her beauty that knows no bounds, her long eyelashes glimmer under the shining light of the sun as her face shines brighter than the star above.'
Admired Siphyr as he stared at Liliane's face, seemingly captivated by her beauty.
Then, he remembered the lewd expressions she made last night and chuckled in delight.
"Mmmmm...."
Liliane let out a soft moan as she moved her body in the bed, turning her back for Siphyr to see.
As the blanket loses its way from her body, the tattoo in her back was revealed.
A serpent coiling a rose, the symbol of love and lust, and the representation of her acceptance for Siphyr's love.
According to the curse, she was now Siphyr's spouse and she forever will be unless the tattoo on her back fades away, if she loses her love for him.
"Siphyr.... M- Morning."
She greeted blushing as she remembered the faces and moans she did last night.
She hid her face under the blanket after that and Siphyr let her be, he knew she was embarrassed but he felt great knowing that she's not calling him master anymore.
"Siphyr...." She called out revealing a little bit of her eyes under the blanket.
"Hmmm?" Siphyr turned to look at her, he wondered what she wanted.
"Am I.... the first?" She asked and she finally let lose of the blanket revealing her naked upper body.
'First? What does she.... Oh, I get it now.' He finally realized what she meant.
Polygamy is well a common thing for those with high status, especially powerful people who wanted to continue their bloodline and produce many talents.
Liliane knew this very well, and she knows that she wouldn't be able to have Siphyr by herself.
"Yes, you're indeed my first wife, the tattoo on your back represent that you've accepted to be my spouse."
He said and Liliane used her senses to look at her back.
"You're the first one to have that and don't worry Liliane, no matter how many wives I'll have, I'll make sure to love all of you equally." He promised.
"I know... But I didn't ask because I'm worried about that, I'm just really happy to know I'm your first, Siphyr."
She smiled, a genuine one so bright and it enchanted Siphyr causing him to fall in a daze.
No words were said and he stepped towards her, he put his hands on her face and she responded by closing her eyes.
Then, their shadows overlapped under the light of the sun.

Meanwhile, Lin Wu down below had been cultivating hard, pushing himself to his limits.
Xing Fu's death made him motivated to work hard in order not to have the same fate as him.
His cultivation had been rising steadily for the few days and today will be the day he will be breaking through the 2nd stage.
He sat cross legged in his room and ate the pill, a warm energy then flowed in his body as he attempted to break through the next stage.
However, Xing Fu's death came into his mind, distracting him from breaking through and he coughed out blood from his mouth.
"Calm down, don't let other thoughts fill your mind, clear them and focus on breaking through."
"That's it, just like that. Don't let other people's death bother you, for in this world, death is a common occurrence."
An old man's voice resounded in his mind and helped him calm his heart. Guiding him through his breakthrough.
After a while, he successfully advance to the second stage, but as he looked around no one could be seen.
"Elder, I am grateful for you guiding me, please accept my thanks!" He bowed his head to empty air and silence followed.
However, a moment later the old man's voice once again resounded in his ears.
"There is no need for thanks, little one. I am just helping out my descendant, that's all."
"Descendant? Then, are you perhaps... My ancestor?" He asked and excitement filled his body.
"That's right, although my body has long been gone, my spirit still lives in the pendant your mother gave you."
"And since I'm already awakened, I might as well help you with your trial. Close your eyes and focus your mind, I'll impart you a technique."
The old man's voice were calm and seeing that he was willing to help him, Lin Wu followed his instructions.
"This is...!" Lin Wu exclaimed.
"It's something that will help you with the incoming Head Disciple choosing, practice it well and it will help you against your fight with that disgrace of a descendant of mine."
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Once again he bowed his head in empty air.
Afterwards, he began practicing the technique the old man gave him.
"Lin Mu, I'm looking forward to use this technique with you!"
.
.
.
Lin Mu, currently he was with his servants in the restaurant, when he suddenly sneezed out loud.
"Ah, is someone talking bad about me? It must be that brat, Lin Wu!"
Or so he guessed and returned to eating.
.

"Siphyr, if you want I can ask your father for resources to speed up your cultivation."
Liliane offered seeing that his cultivation slowed down.
"It's fine, as you said before my cultivation speed is already on par with them without even using precious resources." He said and continued.
"Also, advancing too fast will lead to a weak foundation, so unless I also cultivate my body, I'll postpon asking my father for resources." He explained.
It wasn't that he was so prideful to not use his family's resources, only a fool would do that.
The reason he wasn't asking for cultivation resources for now is because he didn't need to.
His talent far surpassed those called Exemplars and without resources his cultivation speed was already on par with them who uses precious treasures from their families.
The other reason was because he still hasn't started in cultivating his body and soul.
Cultivating the body was important to balance his fast cultivation speed.
As for the soul, not many knows of this and even if they knew cultivating the soul is very hard.
It will only delay their cultivation speed.
However, Siphyr had a shortcut for this and that was...
Dual cultivation!
The dual cultivation technique his father gave him had the ability to increase the strength of his soul as well as supplement his body and cultivation, balancing everything.
Of course, since his father and his siblings weren't dual cultivators, he was the only one in this continent to have this technique.
Lust Empowerment was the name of the technique and as said before it cultivates the body, soul, and increases his Nyxavor cultivation.
He practiced using Image training and he still hasn't tried it out in real life.
That's why he was looking forward to advancing to the second realm.
Because once that happens, he will finally graduate from virginity with Liliane.
