Chapter 50 Thank You, Big Brother. (EDITED)
Upon waking up from her satisfying nap, Lily sat in her seat while moving her drowsy eyes around and taking notice of her new surroundings and unfamiliar location. "We have arrived, sweetie," Aria mentioned.
Then she hopped out of the sporty vehicle and began inspecting her new home, filled with marvel, astonishment, and anticipation. She looked excited at the size, appearance, and new and exotic environment and walked inside.
"Lily is home?" She asked with curiosity irking her, feeling doubtful and thinking that it would soon turn out to be a dream, as it seemed too wonderful and unbelievable.
"Yep, from today onward, this place is your home. Right, mom?" Asher gave her shoulder a reassuring tap before turning around to confirm it with his mother, who had a soft and delicate smile that held endless sweetness and love.
"Correct, Lily. From today on, we welcome you as a member of the Blake family, so you must remember not to be reserved around us," the purple-eyed lady declared.
Her declaration left Lily both surprised and awed. Asher carried her in his arms and said, "Now, my sweet Lily, allow me to carry you on a tour of our new home! Are you ready, m'lady?" He spoke, watching her nod while staring at him with wide eyes that displayed astonishment, bewilderment, happiness, and wonderment at the same time.
Lily remained silent while watching everything and listening to his words, allowing herself to be enveloped in her brother's safe, loving arms. She clung to him as he held her and showed her a new home.
"Wow!! Big Brother, this is such a big and beautiful house." She said this while appreciating her amazing, comfortable new house and the decorative items all around.
Asher grinned in satisfaction and relief at her bright expression. 'Little Lily's enthusiasm is so pure and charming!' He thought and spoke. "Right, sweetheart! Make yourself at home!"
Asher and Aria had gotten comfortable around her in no time and loved spending their time with the adorable little one, already spoiled and rotten by them, in less time compared to normal families.
"Baby, how is your cultivation coming along? Have you been focusing on stabilizing your cultivation foundation these days, now that you broke into the Spirit Foundation Realm?" Aria asked this of Asher out of the blue, causing him to look in her direction.
"Haha, mom, worry not. After refining all the pure spirit essence, my cultivation foundation is settled at the Initial-Stage of the Spirit Foundation Realm." Asher informed her with confidence.
Aria smiled when she sensed the stable energy fluctuations radiating around him. "Indeed. You are just a step away from becoming a Mid-Stage Spirit Foundations Cultivator." She nodded, praising him.
"Mhmm, I feel a lot of power surging through my body and soul. I just have to strengthen and enhance it," he responded with excitement.
Aria chuckled as she felt her son's determination and willpower to progress in the cultivation realm.
"Remember, this is your starting line, a small step toward reaching the summit, as there will always be more challenges ahead of you." She expressed with honesty, trying her best to give useful tips for his improvement.
Hence, listening to his mother's experienced words, the smile on Asher's face broadened and increased in width as he felt touched by her.
Afterwards, his mature, gorgeous, and amiable mother gave some pointers about the use of spirit essence and techniques before saying a brief goodbye.
Soon, he retreated to his room, preparing himself to cultivate and raise his power.
Asher immersed himself in his cultivation session as he began refining the pure spirit essence and enhancing the in-depth knowledge of all skills and abilities that he had obtained from the Mystic Starry Realm.
