Chapter 302: Is There Something More That You're Not Telling Me?
The time seemed to flow like an unstoppable river in the Mystic Starry Realm, and soon, two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Asher spent that entire time with Alia, doing nothing but talking to her and showing her how much he cared about her. He wanted to make up for the years of being apart. During that period, Asher and Alia talked about everything under the heavens, from mundane things such as food and clothing to more serious topics like cultivation techniques and cultivation methods.
It was almost like they were catching up on lost time.
Sometimes they talked for hours, and other times they just sat in silence, staring into each other's eyes with loving smiles on their faces. On those days, Alia would rest her head on his shoulder, wrapping her arms around him while enjoying the warmth radiating from his body. Occasionally, she would even fall asleep as they snuggled together on the sofa with a book in front of them.
As Asher observed his twin sister's smiling face, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with love and affection towards her. This wasn't the first time he saw her smile, but each time it made him feel like he could watch her for days on end without getting bored.
Her smile was gentle and loving, and her features appeared serene. It took a long time for her to relax like this again. She had been tense before because of all the pain and sadness caused by his selfishness, but now she was starting to accept the situation and move on. She was no longer angry with his other women, nor was she resentful toward them, yet she didn't have any good feelings for them.
But she could tolerate them and wouldn't cause any more trouble for Asher.
The reason was simple. She didn't want to lose him. That was the most important thing in the world to her. And so if it meant that he had to share his love with others, then so be it. If that was what made him happy, then so be it. That thought alone made her realize just how much she really did love her little brother.
Even if he chose other women to love, it didn't mean that he didn't love her anymore. She came to understand that and accept it.
Besides, there was a part of her that felt grateful to his other women for giving him happiness. That was the reason she didn't want to hurt them or interfere with their relationships. She couldn't bring herself to do it.
Aside from that, Alia also realized that it wasn't good for her to be jealous all the time. If she kept on being jealous, then she would become bitter and unhappy. And if she became bitter and unhappy, then there was a chance that she would lose her love for him, which was something that she didn't want to happen.
"I won't ever make you choose between me or your other women, Little Ash," she said softly, looking into his eyes. "I can't stand the thought of you being unhappy, so I'll do my best to make sure that I don't get jealous or resentful anymore. I don't want to hurt you anymore. I don't want to lose you anymore. And most importantly, I don't want to lose myself anymore.
If I keep being selfish, then sooner or later, I'll become someone else entirely. And I refuse to become someone who would hate you. I love you, Little Ash. And nothing will ever change that."
As Alia said this, she reached out and stroked his cheek tenderly before leaning in close to give him a soft kiss. Her lips were warm and sweet as they brushed against his own. It was a simple gesture, but it conveyed more emotion than words ever could.
The kiss made Asher feel like he had just been hit by a truck filled with pure happiness, causing him to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her closer to him.
When Alia pulled back, she looked into his eyes with a loving gaze. "So I promise not to interfere with your relationships. I won't be jealous anymore. And I won't try to keep you from loving others. So, can you tell me how many women you have in your harem and who they are? I only know that you had five women by your side during the ranking test, and you were flirting with them in front of everyone.
I couldn't bear it at the time, but now I want to know more. Can you tell me? I don't want any surprises, Little Ash."
Asher nodded his head in response to her question and gave a gentle smile. "Sure, Big Sis, I'll tell you."
Then he proceeded to tell her all about his lovers and their relationships. He didn't leave out any details, and he even went so far as to describe how he met each one of them and what happened between them. When he was done talking, Alia felt like she had a better understanding of the women he loved and why they loved him in return.
She could tell that there was something special about the women in his harem. There was something about the way he talked about them and the way they reacted to him that made it clear that they shared a deep bond with him.
And that bond wasn't just physical. It was something much deeper than that. They weren't simply attracted to him because of his good looks or his charm.
No, the women in Asher's harem loved him for more than just his appearance. They loved him because of who he was as a person. He had a big heart and a strong spirit. He was generous and honest, and he always put them first. And although he was mischievous at times, he never took advantage of them.
He always did his best to treat them fairly and respectfully, which was why they all fell for him in return.

Even though Asher was the center of attention for all his women, he made sure that they were happy too. He made sure that they were treated well and that they got along with each other. He made sure that no one felt left out or neglected, which was another reason why they loved him so much.
Alia gave a nod as she understood everything, but suddenly she noticed his expression, which seemed a little hesitant. "What's wrong, Little Ash? Is there something you're not telling me?"
As Asher looked into her purple eyes, he gave a forceful smile and proceeded to tell her about Aria, their mother, who also became one of his women.
Alia's body stiffened at this revelation as she tried to process the information she just heard.
It was one thing to find out that her little brother had a harem of beautiful women, but it was another thing entirely to hear that her own mother was among them. She couldn't believe that her mother would do such a thing. She didn't want to believe it. But then she became furious.
"That old hag! How dare she seduce you! She should be ashamed of herself for doing something like that." Alia's eyes widened as she exclaimed angrily. "An old cow is eating young grass. I can't believe it!"
