Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

Thanks to his seed planted in Sapphire city, there was nothing that happened there that he did not know about and the whole idea of a cult dedicated to had been quite surprising.

Not because he saw it as silly but because he had planned to do something of that nature eventually.

He was impressed by how Selina had stuck to her guns in regards to it and was quite intrigued at the idea of her as his priestess.

However, what really got his attention, of course, was the arrival of the hunters who he had not thought would come to Tretch forest so soon. His subtle array on Tretch forest was what had first alerted him and then they moved into the city and it all became even clearer.

He had to say, he liked Selina's innovativeness at proclaiming the Sapphirine Prince responsible for the disappearance of the Beasts and could not help but wonder about all the mischief he could cause with that persona.

Anyway, that was all for later.

There was another more pressing matter at the moment and it was none other than the acquisition of the Primal fruit.

Earlier in the day, Rita had come to him to say she was taking a short trip away from the Sensual palace, claiming she needed to really enjoy her return to her home.

Of course, while she never actually said it, Hal knew where she really wished to go and she knew that he knew as well.

Some things needed no words.

Anyway, Rita had left but Karmen was more than ready to go off into the garden and kick some peril butt.

Hal left the Harem space very close to noon and Amelia was waiting for him in the room, 

"Took you long enough" she said with a pout.

Hal chuckled, 

"Something kept me" he told her, able to mask his disappointment at not comprehending the Ordinance of fire quite well.

He had tried so many times and many ways but nothing seemed to be working. He just didn't seem to be getting the hang of it.

'Connection with Order, my ass!' he thought in annoyance but kept it off his facial expression.

"The others already left without us." She said.

"Does that actually disappoint you?" Karmen asked as she could not even fathom such a scenario considering how little Amelia got along with them.

Amelia smiled, 

"No, no it doesn't. Anyway, we can catch up. They didn't leave too long ago" she said and led the way out of the residence.

"Okay then, we can take the Golden chariot"

Once outside, Hal stretched his hand forward about to summon the carriage when Amelia closed her hand around his arm, 

"No need. We can just have one of the Antonov family drivers take us. Then we don't have to worry about steering it"

"Good point" Hal said with a nod and Amelia led the way to where a carriage had been packed.

The driver looked at Hal for a while and then looked away to Karmen before he opened the carriage doors for the three and once they were in, he set off for the Garden of peril, having been told the destination by Amelia beforehand.

...

The Garden looked very much like a forest. It was a little larger than Tretch forest but was shrouded in mist and giving off chills both in winds and presence.

As cultivators at their level, normal temperature meant next to nothing to them. It did not really matter if it was noon or midnight, the atmosphere would always feel comfortable to them.

And yet this garden's air, or more accurately, air that was coming off the garden was causing them to feel mildly chilly. 

How much worse would it become once they were inside?

From the distance, they could see five individuals about to venture into the Perilous garden and they were none other than the Antonovs.

Hal, Amelia, and Karmen walked away from the carriage and closer to the garden and immediately they got close enough, Helena looked back at Hal and her eyes widened as she dashed over to grab his arm and squish it between her sizeable breasts, 

"Oh, I'm so glad you caught up. I wanted to wait for you but THEY wouldn't let me." She said and pointed at Cheslav and Boryan who were frowning deeply at Hal.

Hal looked at Jelena and smiled lightly, 

"Oh? You wanted to wait for Amelia?" He raised his brow skeptically.

"I wanted to wait for YOU, not her" she said with a glare at Amelia.

"I see" Hal said and patted her hand.

"Mmm..." Jelena began toon and quickly let go of his arm in embarrassment.

She could not believe how good his touch had felt but her reaction had been so shameful. 

'I should have better control of myself' she thought while Hal was glad {Erogenous touch} had gotten her off him.

Then he looked over at her sisters and... Were they blushing?" 

Vanya, he could still see blushing, but Nicole?

The Icy Nicole was blushing?

What had happened in the last two days that had thawed her expression in regards to him?

She had been so much better at hiding any attraction to him that she felt at the dinner. So what was different now.

He got his answer soon enough...

"You must be proud of yourself." Boryan said with a frown.

"I am proud of myself. For so many reasons too, so you need to be a tad bit specific" He said with a smirk.

"How dare you defile my beloved aunt with your commoner hands?" He clarified and clenched his fist.

"Oh" Hal said as understanding dawned on him.

He should probably have expected this but it had been his opinion that being a Dual cultivating sect where such moans were common (although, maybe not at that volume), that no one would have batted an eye to the sounds.

"Leave him alone, Boryan. He did what many had accepted as impossible. He made Aunt Emiliana feel pleasure. Deep, loud passionate pleasure. Many, many times.

Tell me, Hal, what techniques do you have that actually helped accomplish this? Do you mind sharing them or better still, showing me?" Jelena asked with a sultry smile.

Before Hal could reply, Cheslav spoke first, 

"You can touch Amelia all you want since she's half a dirty Silva anyway. But stay away from my Aunt who is truly a noble..." He began but before he could complete his words and before Hal could even think to react, Amelia vanished from his side.

He saw a trail of purple and knew her speed must have been boosted by her strengthening herself with her succubus bloodline.

When next she appeared, it was in front of Cheslav, 

"What the...?" The Antonov only had time to say before attempting to protect himself with cosmic energy but Amelia's blow seemed to burn right through it.

It only seemed that way because her blow had been faster than he could defend against, 

*Bam!*

"Ack" Cheslav groaned as the blow hit.

Boryan turned to Amelia in shock and made to retaliate but a well-placed kick to the side of his face...

*BAM!*

... Had him spinning to join his brother on the ground.

Then she took a deep breath, 

"Oh, it feels so good to let off steam. Getting to shut you guys up was just a welcome bonus."

Hal chuckled as he moved over to her side, 

"That's my girl."

"Are you sure you didn't overdo it? They seemed completely out of it" Karmen said and eyed the brothers on the ground.

Amelia waved her off, 

"I held back. I might absolutely detest them but I'm not going to kill them...

She said and turned to the sisters,

"... At least not in front of witnesses"
