On the way back to the building that Ixas created for them, Aster turned to see the girls before saying.
"Did Vivian left her room to eat before I woke up?", he asked.
It's not like he didn't think about Vivian before when he didn't see her with the other girls, but he "kind of got too much into their conversation, that being said he took a couple of plates in his space ring, just in case.
And his supposition turned to be right as Mylene shook her head before saying.
"No, I knocked on her door but she said she'll wait for you to wake up".
Aster nodded.
"I'll go check on her, you three can return to the room and rest".
"Mm", Mylene and Camila simply nodded and went ahead to the room, which they were still sharing though it was day and the moon wasn't on the sky, Ixas completely blocked the sunlight from entering his underground village, but they didn't leave.
Kana on the other hand remained next to Aster's with a sowhat curious expresson on her face.
"Big brother, can I go with you to see sister Vivian?".
Aster saw Kan giving him puppy eyes and he chuckled.
"Sure, but once we are down with it, you'll start your ditation of the day okay".
"Yeeiii, thanks big brother~".
Aster and Kana walked towards the small secluded room that Vivian asked Ixas to build for her, she literally distanced herself from the rest of the group.
Aster knocked on the door of Vivian's room and after a couple of seconds a soft voice ca from inside of it.
"Is that you Aster?".
"Yes, can I go in?".
…. "Are you alone?".
Aster raised an eyebrow, she knew he isn't affected by her poison, and that's why she isn't so distant with him in comparison to other people, but now judging by her monotone voice, she has returned to her past emotionless self, prior to her treatnt with Rigel's flas.
"Kana is with , are you alright?".
"Mm… you can co in".
Aster opened the door and was imdiately assaulted by a deep sweet sll, different to the apple like sll Kana noticed when she t Vivian, this one had a citrus like scent, like slling a freshly squeezed orange juice.
But that's not what caught his attention, but the fact that the room was full to the brim with yang energy, to the point that inside the temperature was a few grades higher than outside.
"Vivian?", Aster saw the white fragile figure of Vivian sitting in a corner of her room, sitting with her knees in front of her face.
The first thing Aster did was raise a barrier made out of Rigel's flas around the room, because he noticed the yang energy lingering in the room trying to escape.
"What happened, I thought you were alright?", he asked as he approached Vivian.
Aster couldn't help but frown, with each step he took, the yang energy tried to fry him, the heat was no joke his clothes which were bathed in his blood, were actually starting to burn on the corners of his sleeves, also his feet left burning marks on the ground.
"Humph", Aster snorted, his body exploded in blue flas and the yang energy manifested itself in the form of an orange mist, that clashed against Rigel's flas, creating a steam liberation that only lasted a couple of seconds before all the yang was purified by Aster.
Surprisingly, Aster was pending of Kana's well-being during the whole event, and he noticed that both Rigel's flas and that strangely aggressive yang simply passed around her without harming her at all, she even touched it and was unaffected by it.
Once that little clash finished, Aster approached Vivian and covered her with Rigel's flas, only then she regained the previous vibrant and energetic aura that surrounded her, after Aster helped her.
Aster offered his hand, which she happily accepted to get up from her sitting position.
"Thanks…", Aster knew Vivian couldn't move when she was affected by her poison, and even after she managed to suppress it, she needed so ti to get used to move again.
Aster helped her sit down on her bed and then he sat in a stone chair in front of her, Kana naturally sat down on his lap.
"What happened, that was yang poison, not the multicolored mist I expelled from you before?".
Vivian sighed; she moved the dress that covered her right shoulder to show Aster her skin, which besides the usual paleness, had a pattern which resembled flower petals, but was quickly fading away.
"That looks like the petals of a Fla Lily", Kana looked at the patterns and before it completely disappeared, she seed to find a resemblance with so kind of flower.
Vivian was positively surprised by Kana's observation, but she still corrected her.
"Almost, this is a variation or more accurately an upper and dangerous species, Devil Fla Lily… which is of course poisonous, specially for won since it's a yang-oriented flower".
"Did soone here tried to poison you or…", Aster frowned, while he more or less could tell the most recent additions to the group, in other words, Ixas, Natasha and Charlotte, where trustable, he still had his reserves towards the two protectors, as they clearly didn't like him.
However, it's not like he cared about what others thought about him, so he didn't really take their glares seriously, but if they were trying sothing funny, then things changed completely.
"No, it's not that… the poison in my body my body constitution's thod to protect , the only reason as to why I'm being troubled by it, is because it's too strong for to control it, you could say it "overprotects" ".
"I was careless and didn't notice that the light of the moon had such a strong negative effect on won, my body constitution generated the yang poison of the Devil Fla Lily to counter it, which normally wouldn't have been a problem… if not for the fact that there was already a ying type poison helping counter the light of the sun to which we were exposed yesterday".
"What you saw earlier was the reaction of the two poisons clashing in my body, I no longer react to normal yang or ying negative effects since I have grown used to them, so now I'm immune, but whatever was used to alter the sun and the moon of this place is of a higher grade than what I'm used to, and the poison generated by my body was too much for to handle two at the sa ti".
Aster was in a loss for words right now, if what Vivian ntioned was true, then her body constitution was way stronger than what he expected, her body practically protected her against anything, with poison though.
"Uncle told to not ntion it… but at this point I would have died if not for your help, so I can at least tell you that my body constitution is called Myriad Poison Heart".
'Another constitution which isn't listed in the ones known in the four Heavenly Quadrants that I know off', thought Aster, just like Felicia and Tiana's ones, Vivian's constitution was new for him, and he had a pretty decent knowledge about them, because that's one of the few things Lilia did have so interest when she was still a teen, besides fighting of course.
"Why didn't you tell earlier, I could have helped you suppress it if you woke up?", asked Aster.
Vivian shook her head with an ashad expression as she answered.
"It hasn't been that long since this happened, though I felt a bit strange earlier since I had no appetite, despite being "clean" of poison I could move and see without any problem, so I thought I was just tired, I returned to my room and then this reaction started, about half an hour ago".
Aster didn't know what to say, that dangerous reaction had only started half an hour ago and it was already hard to deal with, but then it wasn't Vivian's fault too, even Mylene was affected by the moon of the secret realm after all.
"Pack your things, you'll be staying with us from now and onwards, so that I can help you in case sothing like this happens again".
Natasha and Charlotte weren't the only ones from Divine Firmants in the secret realm, so there was bound to be more surprises in the "dangerous elents", to which Vivian will be exposed, during their stay here.
But…", Vivian listened to Aster and she flushed a bit, which was quite noticeable since her skin was so pale.
"Besides Kana who was with from the very beginning, Mylene and Camila are also staying in my room due to the effects of the moon, apparently when you are near of , you won't be affected by it, so you won't need to create more poison".
"Big brother is right, co stay with us sister Vivian, the more the better~", Kana also invited Vivian, thinking she'll have another person to talk and play with.
"Mm… sorry for the trouble", after a mont of seeing Kana's adorably enthusiastic face, Vivian shily nodded as she packed the few things she brought with her, including her bed, into her spatial ring.
"Let's go", once Vivian had packed her things, she left the room accompanied with Aster and Kana, on the way Aster called Ixas.
"Can you expand our room more; Vivian will be staying with us".
"Sure… no problem", Ixas simply waved his hand and one of the walls of the building moved a couple of ters to the side, expanding the inner space.
Needless to say, but Mylene and Camila were taken by surprise by the sudden change, but they imdiately understood what was happening when they saw Vivian walking next to Aster.
"I guess it was to be expected".
"I an, we are also staying with him… so I guess there is no harm if she joins us".
Mylene and Camila exchanged gazes and they mumbled between each other.
Aster, Kana and Vivian entered the room and Aster closed the door behind him.
"We'll be travelling at night, so you can rest for the ti being, ah right I saved so food for you", Aster handed Vivian the food he got for her from the banquet, now that she was clean of poison her appetite returned.
Vivian installed her bed and sat down to eat the food Aster handed her.
"That reminds , do you know what was used to ss up with the moon and the sun of the secret realm?", asked Aster to Mylene, although Natasha and Charlotte are pretty strong, and he is sure he hasn't seen them use their strongest state, unless their attributes were as strong as annihilation, they wouldn't be able to affect Mylene with their current cultivation.
And he was sure that wasn't the case, so it had to be so kind of external thod.
"Mm, I inspected them with my divine sense, and they were both altered using a feather, the Erald Whirlwind has a really high control over this secret realm, so I guess those feathers co from those two's ancestors… I'll just say they are way stronger than or Eris even in our pri".
