While the two girls made their way to the bath, Asher couldn't help but glance at their round bottoms as they swayed from side to side and admired their feminine curves before smiling to himself.

Meanwhile, Scarlet and Cecil were amazed by the beauty of the place, as they had never seen anything like this before.

The hot spring was a large pool of clear, blue water that steamed in the cool night air as it reflected the light.

The surrounding plants added to the beauty, with lush green bushes and trees dotted here and there, creating a natural garden.

As the two of them walked towards the pool, Scarlet noticed how the stones underneath were smooth and polished, creating a unique texture under her bare feet.

She saw that there were also a few rocks and boulders scattered around the edges of the pool, which gave it a more natural look.

But what stood out the most was how the steam rose from the water, creating a dreamy and surreal atmosphere, making one forget about everything else and relax.

"Wow. This place is so beautiful..." Cecil said in amazement as she dipped her foot into the water and felt the warmth engulfing her toes.

"Yes, it is." Scarlet replied as she joined her in the hot spring.

The two girls then stepped into the hot spring and lowered themselves until their bodies were completely immersed in the warm, soothing waters.

The heat enveloped them, wrapping around them like a comforting blanket as they felt their muscles relax.

"Ahhh... This feels so good." Scarlet said as she stretched her arms out and let out a contented sigh. "I could stay here forever."

Cecil giggled as she nodded her head. "Me too! This is so relaxing. I think I could fall asleep right now."

She could feel his naked chest pressing against her back and his arm around her waist, and although it should have felt awkward and uncomfortable, she surprisingly felt safe and secure in his embrace.

'Why does this feel so different?' She thought to herself as she tried to make sense of the emotions running through her mind right now.

"Relax girls. Don't think too much about it, and just enjoy the moment," Asher said as he leaned back on a rock behind him.

Scarlet and Cecil exchanged glances with each other before relaxing their bodies and resting their heads on his shoulders.

It was quite a bizarre situation for them, as they felt comfortable and calm despite being with a complete stranger whom they knew nothing about except that he had saved their lives.

Soon, a calm and peaceful silence descended upon the three of them as they sat there together in the hot spring, with only the sound of flowing water filling the air.

No one spoke for a long time until eventually, Asher broke the silence by asking, "How about you girls tell me about yourselves now? I think it's about time."

"Oh! That's right. We haven't introduced ourselves properly yet, huh?" Scarlet exclaimed after being reminded by Asher.

"Yes." Cecil agreed as she lifted her head from Asher's shoulder and turned towards him before continuing, "I'm Cecil Sylphiria, and she is Scarlet Claymore, my best friend. We both are disciples of the Twilight Mist Sect."

"Oh, so both of you are from the Twilight Mist Sect? I was also going there while training myself in the Black Forest," Asher revealed with a smile on his face.

"What? Really?" Scarlet exclaimed in surprise upon learning that he was also planning on joining their sect.

"Yes, it is true. My mom suggested that I join that sect."

"What is your name? Who is your mom? Is she powerful and influential? How is she related to our Twilight Mist Sect?" Scarlet bombarded Asher with questions, eager to know more about him.

Asher couldn't help but shake his head upon seeing her enthusiasm and said, "I am Asher Blake and my mother's name is Aria Blake."

"WHAT!!!" Scarlet and Cecil both shouted simultaneously, their jaws dropping open in shock and disbelief as they heard his answer.
