Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

"That's what I just told you." Arianna said while looking at everyone present here with a serious expression before continuing. "But the benefits are also great if you are able to live through the deadly dangers present in it. Your mother, Lyssa, and Olivia here are examples of it. They have gone inside it when they were young and came out alive as very strong cultivators."

Olivia, however, shook her head. "It was all because of the help we got from your mother. She was the one who helped us get out of there alive."

"I can't deny that." Lysandra nodded her head in agreement. "At the beginning, not many people knew about your mother, and even if they did, they weren't interested in killing her. Instead, all of them lusted after her since she had such a beautiful appearance. But having had enough of such harassment at one point, she began to slaughter everyone within her sight. It was such a massacre that there were rivers of blood and mountains of corpses everywhere she went."

"Me and Lyssa were in a similar situation when she found us. After which we stuck with her until the end of it." Olivia added with a fond smile as she remembered the old memories.

"Yes, but still, you should have seen the look of every cultivator that heard about Aria coming for those items. The moment they knew about it, they became like scared bunnies seeing a tiger, avoiding her like a plague." Lysandra chuckled lightly while shaking her head before continuing, "When I first heard about it, I found it amusing because we were all just kids back then. But when I saw her fighting prowess, I understood why everyone feared her."

"Hey, both of you, are you praising me or trying to create a bad image of mine in my darling's mind?" Aria asked with a playful smile on her face, then she kissed Asher on the lips for a second before looking at him. "What do you think, sweetie? Am I scary?"

Asher smiled mischievously at her words before teasing her back by saying, "Yes. You are very scary. Even scarier than that realm, as I have to make sure not to anger you if I don't want to get eaten up by you."

"Awww~" Aria cooed while rubbing her head against Asher's chest and said, "But it's always you who is eating me every time."

"Stop flirting here! Both of you!" Arianna interrupted their banter with an angry tone while she glared at Aria. "We are talking about important things here. And you are trying to seduce your son right in front of our eyes! What do you think this is? Some rom-com novel?"

"Fufufu... I can flirt with my son whenever I want. You just don't know how to take advantage of the moments and keep blabbering about boring things." Aria shot back with a playful smirk on her face.

But before they could argue any further, Asher interrupted them by saying, "Anyway, tell me more about this Bloody Banquet. Is there any limit to the number of people who can go inside, or can anyone go?"

Hearing his words, Arianna turned her attention back towards him before explaining the details about the secret realm once again.

"No. That's what makes it more difficult than other secret realms because prominent clans and families would send their best elites to support their heirs, so they could get as many items as possible for them. Even if their other members die in the process, they don't care about that as long as their heirs benefit from it."

"I see..." Asher muttered under his breath while thinking of ways to deal with such a situation if it really happens during their time inside the realm.

And it was a situation that he was sure would happen if he went alongside his girls, whose beauty attracted attention from everywhere.

However, there wasn't any problem if everyone went in one group since it would be possible to protect each other like this, but now that wasn't an option for them since they will all get separated once inside that secret realm.

Even though Asher could handle himself pretty well, the same couldn't be said about all of his girls, as they might get targeted by perverts or strong cultivators who were eyeing those special items.

Not every girl had strong fighting abilities like Alia, and even if they did have good fighting abilities, there was no guarantee that it would be enough to protect themselves from someone much stronger than them or against a group of cultivators.

Not to mention that most of them had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm recently and still lack experience that other stronger cultivators had. Even if they could fight against one person who is stronger than them, they wouldn't last long if they came across a group of such people.

In such cases, their best bet would be to run away from them as soon as possible. However, if what Arianna said was true, then the probability of surviving would be very low since every corner inside the secret realm would be covered with such dangers.

And that's why Asher was conflicted as he thought of whether to go inside or not with his girls. On one hand, there was a risk of dying if things didn't go well, and on the other hand, the benefits were huge if they could survive it.

'There is also the issue of the Astral Nexus Core Orb not working inside the secret realm. I am sure it will work after my cultivation reaches Transcending Realm, but with what happened with that guy, Argon, there is no doubt that my lack of cultivation level is making it impossible for me to make full use of the orb.' He thought to himself while glancing at everyone present in the room who was also thinking about all the pros and cons of going inside the secret realm.
