Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires - Chapter 174

Chapter 174: There Are No Places Without Evil – 1
In the blink of an eye, a flurry of butterflies fluttered into the air, each one shimmering with a beautiful array of colors that captured the attention of everyone present. They were mesmerized by the sight before them, as if they were looking at a painting created by a master artist.

Suddenly, a woman descended from the sky with grace and elegance, her long, purple-black hair flowing in the wind and her amethyst eyes sparkling with a strange light. She wore a beautiful black dress that hugged her curvaceous body and accentuated her natural beauty, making her seem like an enchanting goddess.

Her presence was overwhelming, and everyone’s eyes were drawn to her as if she were a beacon in the night.

Soon, the butterflies around her scattered into tiny particles that floated in the air, forming a cloud of colorful mist that hovered around her like a cloak.

She looked at everyone present with a mysterious smile on her lips as she approached the trio with a purposeful stride, her hips swaying from side to side.

It grabbed the attention of the men nearby and made them gulp in excitement, especially the youngsters who haven’t been intimate with the opposite sex before.

Some of them were drooling as their minds wandered into dangerous places, while others tried hard to resist temptation and retain their sanity.

With a breeze blowing past her, her scent, which smelled like roses, invaded their nostrils and made their hearts race faster with every passing second.

No one could escape from her charm and enchanting aura.

She was just like a Siren who lured sailors with her mesmerizing song and trapped them in her allure.

However, the same wasn’t true for those experienced cultivators, whose eyes widened in shock and disbelief upon seeing the beautiful woman.

They felt goosebumps rise on their skin, and their blood began to chill in their veins, as if they’d been plunged into icy water. It was a feeling of dread that stemmed from deep within their subconscious mind and filled them with a primal sense of terror.

For them, the appearance of this woman was nothing short of a nightmare come true because she was someone whom they didn’t want to encounter even in their dreams, despite her seductive appearance.

And there was one simple reason for this—they knew her true identity.

It was Aria Blake, the ruler of the Eldoria Empire and an Honorary Elder of the Twilight Mist sect, who was renowned for her ruthless methods and her tyrannical rule. She was a cruel and heartless woman who showed no mercy to those who opposed her, and she had the power to back up her cruelty.

She was one of the most feared individuals in the entire continent, and there was not a single person who didn’t know about her existence.

Her appearance here signaled that things were about to get messy, and Asher was the catalyst of it.

Nathan frowned, and his expression hardened, while William and Ava grew nervous.

Meanwhile, Rias was also surprised by this sudden development, and her eyes twitched when she looked at the woman. ‘Why is this tyrant woman here? Does she have a connection with Asher?’

On the other hand, Asher was still angered by Nathan’s previous actions, which ruined his plans, and thus couldn’t appreciate such a beautiful sight in front of him.

The woman didn’t care about others’ reactions, however, and proceeded towards Asher, her expression softening when she gazed upon him.

“Darling, why are you so upset? Tell Mommy what happened to make you angry, and I’ll make everything right.” She purred with a sensual tone of voice as she approached him and cupped his cheeks with both hands before leaning close to kiss his forehead.

‘Mommy’

As soon as she uttered that word, everyone, including Rias, froze in place, as if the whole world had stopped functioning for a moment.

‘What!? Did she just call herself Asher’s mother?’ Rias thought in disbelief as she struggled to comprehend the situation.

At that moment, Nathan felt like he was struck by a bolt of lightning, and his heart almost leapt out of his chest as he clenched his fists in trepidation.

‘No way… Could this boy be her child?! If so, then it’s a disaster!’ He thought as he cursed himself for threatening her son earlier.

While everyone else was lost in their thoughts, Asher felt a calming sensation flow through his body as he was embraced by warm arms and soothed by sweet whispers.

Her touch was gentle yet firm, and her body radiated warmth that seemed to melt away all of his worries and fears. It was an intoxicating feeling that made him forget about his anger and allowed him to relax in her presence.

With a smile, she released him, her eyes filled with love and affection. “Good, it’s alright now. Just tell Mommy everything that happened, and she will fix it for you.”

She brushed aside the strand of hair that fell on his face with a tender smile, and her eyes sparkled with happiness, but deep within her soul, she felt an intense rage towards those who dared to cause problems for her dear child.

Seeing her act in such a motherly manner made Rias doubt her ears, as it was beyond her wildest imagination for her to even associate this woman with that tyrant ruler who showed no mercy to her foes.

But after listening to her words, it was confirmed that Asher was indeed her son, and with that, she can rest assured about his intentions, as the Aria Blake she knows would never raise a vile man.

Thus, her suspicion towards Asher vanished, as she believed that he was an honest man who stood up for her daughters and saved them from a terrible fate.

“Mom, I know that there are no places without evil, and only the strong are righteous, but since it was you who told me to join this sect, I thought it would be different, at least. Unfortunately, this sect doesn’t seem to live up to its reputation. Even the Grand Elder is a person with no principles who tries to intimidate others into submission instead of trying to listen to their stories or talk to them about their experiences,” Asher said, feeling irritated by this experience.
