Chapter 10: Aria Blake (EDITED)

As time passed while thinking about his future in this new place, soon it was night as the sky turned dark.

He was standing in the garden in front of the mansion. It was a beautiful night. The stars were twinkling, and the moon was full.

He took a deep breath, enjoying the cool air.

The garden was a piece of heaven, with well-maintained green grass and rare flowers—some he hadn't even seen before.

He walked around and glanced up at the mansion. There were three floors. He smiled. His family owned everything here. He could do whatever he wanted.

Asher tried to suppress his happiness for now and contain his lust for his maid, Nadia.

'For now, I have to focus on breaking through the Spirit Foundation Realm. I am at the Peak Stage of the Body Strengthening Realm. I will need a catalyst to awaken my Spirit and break through to the next realm. As only with the Spirit Foundation Realm can I go to the Mystic Starry Realm again.' Asher thought.

Cultivation was divided into many realms, with each realm having many stages. Cultivators start their cultivation journey by focusing on the body, like the Body Strengthening Stage.

All realms have four minor stages: the Initial, Middle, High, and Peak, before breaking through to the next realm. The Spirit Foundation Realm is considered the true start of cultivation.

In this realm, cultivators awaken their True Inner Spirit, which is the manifestation of their soul. After achieving this realm, the cultivator can use Spirit energy and comprehend knowledge of all skill manuals to learn martial arts, alchemy, and formations, which will help them increase their strength.

Now that he realized how much potential this Treasure Ground provided, Asher planned to accumulate wealth in his pocket and become strong. He will use anything and everything for his ambition.

As he was exploring the garden, at the front gate, a car approached, and after it parked in front, a woman wearing a red robe with intricate patterns came out. She had a beautiful face, long, flowing purple-black hair, and piercing purple eyes. She looked ethereal.

"Wow," Asher murmured, amazed.

The woman seemed to notice him, and she smiled.

Aria Blake had just finished work and was coming home from a long day. The driver opened the door for her as Aria stepped out of the luxurious car.

She wore a stunning red off-the-shoulder dress that showed off her deep cleavage and the sexy curve of her breasts. The dress had a slit cut at the side of it that showed off her luscious thighs as she walked.

Her curves were accentuated by the tight fabric, and her waist looked tiny compared to her immense hips and full chest.

She was a sight to behold, with her purple-black hair flowing down her back and her purple eyes gleaming with excitement. She carried herself like a queen, with her head held high and her body oozing with confidence.

She was the epitome of beauty and power, and every person who looked at her once couldn't help but keep staring at her.

The way her curves moved as she walked made her look like an ethereal enchantress. People couldn't help but be in awe of her beauty. She was a true force to be reckoned with, and her aura symbolized her immense power and prestige. Her body was a weapon, and she knew how to use it to her advantage.

Asher couldn't take his eyes off her. Her beauty and presence captivated him, and he couldn't stop staring. His heart started beating faster as he watched her walk toward him. He could also feel his breath getting hotter and his palms getting sweatier.

She was everything he had ever dreamed of and more. She was a dream come true, and he couldn't believe her beauty. Her beauty enchanted him.

Soon, Aria stopped right before him, and her gaze pierced into his soul. He felt like drowning in her eyes and couldn't look away. Her presence was overwhelming, making him unable to think straight.

Aria's voice was soft and sweet. As she said, "Asher, what a surprise!"

"Mom, you're back." Asher greeted her.

"Yes, I'm back. What are you doing here?" Aria asked while looking at him, standing all alone in the garden.

"Nothing. I was just waiting for you while strolling around the garden and enjoying the night view," Asher answered, showing her beautiful smile.

"Sigh..." Aria heaved a low sigh as she relaxed. "I have loads of paperwork left in my office. It's just exhausting. I wasn't even sure if I could make it back for dinner." She smiled at Asher while thinking about her work.

"Come on, let's go inside now," Aria said.

He sighed in relief, thinking, 'If I had told her I was spacing out in the dark for who knows how long, it might have sounded ridiculous and, not to mention, embarrassing. But I am lucky to have this single beautiful woman who is like an enchantress as a mother.'

On the way, while strolling towards the hallway, Aria felt a gaze from behind her, feeling Asher following after her, watching her majestic, voluptuous curves wobble from her upright posture. Eventually, a mischievous smile formed on her lips as she felt joy in being at home with Asher.

As they entered the manor, he said, "Mom, let's sit in the living room. There is something that I wanted to discuss."

In response, Aria nodded, "Humm... Okay." She looked puzzled but also intrigued about what Asher wanted to tell her.

At this moment, another maid had arrived with some drinks and had set them down on the table. The mother-son pair sat on the couch quite close to each other, which caused Asher's heart to beat faster.

Taking a deep breath, he took control of his emotions. It couldn't be helped, as Aria, a powerful cultivator, had a natural aura around her and her beauty, which was breathtaking. It took him by surprise and ignited his desire for her.

Aria put her hand on his shoulder. "Asher, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Mom," Asher assured her. "It's just... I have something important to ask of you."

"Go on."

"Mom, I feel that I can soon break through, so I need a good catalyst to awaken my Spirit and then break through to the next realm." Asher paused for a second, took a deep breath, and looked straight into her eyes.

"So, Mom, could you provide me something suitable as a catalyst, please?" He finished, putting on a pitiful and innocent expression.

Aria was surprised and also happy to know about his imminent breakthrough.

She smiled as her eyes looked into his azure eyes, showing a sense of seriousness.

"Why didn't you tell me before? I would have given you a suitable catalyst."

"Hmm... Don't worry. It's been just a few hours since I felt an impulse for a breakthrough," Asher continued, grasping Aria's soft hands.

"And as you have just returned, I didn't want to bother you, Mom; you must be tired. Let's talk about this tomorrow. Shall we?" He finished, his expression growing warm.

"It's not a problem, Asher. I will always help you with anything you need."

"Thank you, Mom. I appreciate it."

Aria hugged him, and Asher felt her big, soft breasts press against him, rubbing them on his chest. His heart started beating faster again; they were too smooth and large.

He also hugged her with his hands around her waist and felt her soft skin and the curve of her hips. She smelled so good and was soft.

"Let's have dinner first, Mom; I have already asked Nadia to prepare a sumptuous dinner," Asher said after parting the hug and calming himself a little.

"Okay." Aria smiled.

They went to the dining hall, and Asher had the servants serve a lavish meal for them. They ate while having a light conversation, and he couldn't help but steal glances at his mother. She was so beautiful and powerful that he wanted her; his desire increased every second he looked at her.
