Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

The emotions that Isemeine went through during the next three days could be painted across a wide spectrum. She went from visibly annoyed, to exasperated, to raising her eyebrows, to feigning indifference. Then, when she finally couldn't hold back anymore, she rode the peaks and valleys of pleasure for so long that she crashed, her nerves became fried and her entire body felt numb to an extreme.

She had simultaneously never experienced something so pleasurable nor painful at the same time. Ryu's stamina felt endless. And, somehow, despite these three days having been shorter than the last time she was caught in this situation, the display was far more impressive.

At some point, her grasp on reality faltered and she began hallucinating. Whatever words she was speaking came out like some sort of ancient, slurred language, her body was drenched from head to toe in sweat and her limbs didn't seem to want to listen to her commands at all.

By the end of the last day, her limbs seemed to have lost all of their bones. Her arms and legs twitched erratically and no longer had the strength even to coil around Ryu's body. Once again, she had lost in stamina to someone with the Heaven's Dew Bloodline. And, she had lost so resoundingly. If it wasn't for Eska helping her keep it together, she wouldn't have been able to last to the point Ryu's raging blood finally seemed to calm.

One would have thought that Isemeine would collapse the moment Ryu let go of her. But, as though a mindless zombie that had lost her prey she latched onto him again, reaching for his crotch. Her eyes had practically rolled back into her skull and she was mumbling something intelligible. She really looked as though she had completely lost her mind.

She managed to wrap her hand around Ryu's cock, opening her mouth to try and find her way toward it as though it was playing hide and seek with her. But, the moment her lips enveloped it, it fell out with an audible popping sound, only for her intelligible mumbling to become a light snore.

Ryu let Isemeine fall to the bed and stood to his feet.

To the side of Isemeine's large bed there were rolling glass doors that opened up to the backyard. There was currently a concealment formation up but it was only visible to someone with Ryu's eyes. Under its normal condition, it couldn't obstruct the view of the night sky.

Several moons of differing gorgeous colors hung above, the stars twinkling as their backdrop. The light cascaded down, outlining the silhouette of both Ryu and Isemeine's bodies.

Ryu's powerful frame stood as straight as a javelin as he gazed up. The veins of his body were prominent beneath his skin, his every muscle fiber outlined to utmost perfection. The lights and shadows danced across his figure, making him look like an immaculately sculpted statue.

Ryu grasped at thin air, bringing out a cup formed of flower petals. Within it, a smooth liquid released a delicate fragrance that tickled his nose.

This drink… It was his grandmother's favorite. A normal person might freeze to death just holding it in their hands and Ryu himself had never gotten a chance to partake due to his frail body in his previous life. Gazing upon it now, he felt a certain bittersweetness.

He would finally be able to taste the White Lotus Dew his grandmother loved so much. But, he would never get to enjoy it with her.

Ryu swung his head back, swallowing it whole.

An icy gas spread throughout Ryu's body, freezing his veins over. In the blink of an eye, all the droplets of sweat that had just been dripping down his body became shards of ice, twinkling beneath the moonlight. At that moment, with these crystal droplets dotted across his body and a bit of frost marring his hair and brows, Ryu truly did look like a Deity descended from a world above this one.

The sound of shattering glass resounded as the ice encasing Ryu broke, falling down to the ground in soft, wafting flakes of crystal. Each shard reflected the moonlight all the more, making it look as though motes of light were floating around him.

Ryu felt an eerie calm take hold of his soul as he gazed out blankly.

Ryu's hand made a grasping motion again, causing yet another flower cup to appear between his fingers.

"How long do you plan on watching me, exactly?"

The moment Ryu said these words, the light coming through the glass doors were suddenly blocked by a shadow outlining the gorgeous silhouette of a mature beauty. Even though there were small signs of age on her face, it wasn't enough to detract from how truly beautiful she was. She reminded him a lot of his grandmother before she lost her vitality to battle. Though, Ryu still believed that his Grandma Kukan was a half step above this woman in terms of looks.

The woman looked Ryu up and down, seemingly not being embarrassed about having been caught at all. Her eyes lingered across his body before stopping at a particular member below his waist. When it came to this, she was even less shy, her gaze lighting up with a pleasant light that was something less than surprise. It was clear that she had long since seen it during her previous observation but was just happy to get a clearer look.

Ryu didn't seem to care about the woman's gaze, taking another drink. However, this time he savored it more deliberately, sipping it the same way his grandmother might. The taste was almost like coconut water with a dab of vanilla. It wasn't an overwhelming taste, but it was soothing, had a nice texture, and had a mellow, lingering aftertaste.

"I thought I would have to vet my daughter's first partner a bit more. But, it seems that she made an excellent decision."

Ryu didn't respond immediately. He had already guessed that this woman was Isemeine's mother a long while ago.

Yes, a long while. This woman had been observing her daughter roll around in bed with a man for what was at least the last half day. Ryu just couldn't be bothered to stop.

But, this was also the reason he had compromised and allowed Isemeine to stay in her true form. There was simply no telling when something like this might happen and how would a World Sea Realm expert react to their daughter's body being taken over by another?

That said, Ryu still wasn't too surprised by the outrageous actions of this woman. After all, she had birthed children from two different men and held the powerful position of Queen herself. Clearly, she wasn't a conventional woman and could even be considered to be quite wild by their cultural standards. Even now, she looked like she might try to swallow Ryu up any moment now.

"Did you come here for any particular reason, mother-in-law?"

"Hoho." Isemeine's mother chuckled, taking a step toward Ryu.

Though she was almost a full head shorter, her cultivation alone made it so that she seemed to be the larger one. Her hand found itself wrapped around a particularly sensitive region of Ryu's, and yet Ryu himself didn't flinch in the slightest, taking another sip of his drink.

"A nice warmth and heft, indeed."

Isemeine's mother seemed to have no concept of barriers, her thumb even running up and down Ryu's shaft as though she was eager to see it raring to go again. However, even her less than subtle action seemed to receive no reaction from Ryu. This left her part of the way between amused and feeling challenged.

Isemeine's mother suddenly froze, feeling something pinch her firm bottom. Her gaze shifted only to find that Ryu's free hand had taken its own liberties, not caring for a single moment that she was a World Sea Realm expert.

"Plump and elastic." Ryu commented indifferently. His hand didn't move away, even taking a large handful without reserve.

Isemeine's mother looked up to find Ryu looking down at her. For some reason, she was the one who suddenly felt small, an intoxicating scent wafting from Ryu that seemed to subdue her in every way. However, she could tell by the look in Ryu's eyes that all he saw was a plaything as though her power was meaningless.

"Hoho…" A slightly venomous look formed in her eyes, but it wasn't the kind with a murderous intent. It was the kind a female arachnid would have for a husband she planned to devour and kill in the future after claiming his seed.

"Mm…"

Isemeine's sudden moan seemed to snap her mother out of an odd state, causing her to playfully slap Ryu's hand away.

"Tell my daughter that she's been chosen to be among the future Queen Elena's entourage for the coming ceremony. She will know what this means."

Isemeine's mother tugged lightly on Ryu's balls, seemingly having still not let go.

"I came here for another reason as well… But you're a bit too slick with your words for me. Not even willing to let an old lady like me go. I can see there's no use in asking you, so I'll let someone else deal with it."

Finally letting go of Ryu's members, Isemeine's mother disappeared as Isemeine herself groggily opened her eyes.

Ryu's gaze narrowed as he watched where she vanished. He was 90% certain that the questions she wanted to ask him were related to the Ice Devil Legacy World. And… he also had a feeling that this 'entourage' Isemeine was chosen to be a part of wasn't so simple either.

"… Ryu? Wh—"

Isemeine didn't get a chance to finish her words before she found herself paying for the fire her mother had relit.
