Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Eska's moans echoed through the room, her bodyflowing like jelly in Ryu's palms. Compared to Isemeine's tight and toned body, Eska was more softer.

Every inch of her skin was as smooth as silk and it felt if you pressed into her too hard, you could easily leave a bruise.

Of course, that was ridiculous since she was so powerful, and yet Ryu found himself being incredibly gentle with her.

He felt a mixture of peace and warmth when he was with this woman now, a far cry from how theirrelationship had originally begun. It was almost amusing when he thought about how far they had come.

Ryu kneeled over Eska's body, using one of his arms to prop himself up and the other to rub his thumb across her delicate cheeks.

Her legs rested on his hips and wrapped around his body, both inviting him in and holding him tight.

At the moment, despite how weak she felt, she also felt flushed with strength. Something deep within her was stirring and she could feel that it was due to Ryu again.

She hadn't gotten to ask all the questions that had been bubbling up inside her, questions related to the Embryonic Qi that Ryu had given her. But at this point, this was the least of what she was concerned with.

Even though Ryu had just finished and wasn't moving at all, she felt so close to him that she could melt. It was like every time she met this man, he would chip away another layer of her guard.

Eska had given up on the idea of love long ago. While she knew what kind of man she liked, none had truly stirred her before. When the time came to give up the chastity she had protected for trillions of years for the sake of her family, she didn't even hesitate to do so.

Now, with the fate of her Zu Clan being up in the air, and her likely being the only member remaining, she felt that she finally found some peace in Ryu's arms.As cruel as it sounded, the existence of the Zu Clan had been a great load to her. The larger the world around her grew, the more responsibility she felt she had.If it was just a matter of resurrecting the Zu Clan, then wouldn't it be easy? Ryu was already by far the strongest expert of Sacrum, so long as his parents and great grandfather were ignored, and she was his concubine.

It would only take a wave of the hand for him to help her in this endeavor.

Even if Ryu for some reason refused, wasn't she a powerhouse now as well? One even stronger than Ryu?

So why couldn't she do it herself?

But now with the others gone, if felt like that load had been taken from her, and instead of reviving the Zu Clan because she felt like she had to, she could resurrect it because that was what she wanted to do.

"Your eyes..." Eska uttered softly.

"Yes, they're back," Ryu nodded.

"And..."

"They've gone into a deep sleep. Their souls are being held together by the Immortal Jade, but without a more substantial treasure, it's hard to say that they'll survive.

However, we're in the True Martial World, it's not an impossible matter to deal with this at all. I'll find something for master and the others soon."

Eska nodded, cupping Ryu's face. Her white irises flashed with a kindness before she blushed profusely.

When had her heart become so open and bare?

Ryu smirked and suddenly flipped Eska from under him to above him. Watching her proud figure sway, her palms pressing against his chest to catch her balance, made him feel the heat building up inside himself once again.

Eska trembled. Ryu had gone a slightly soft inside of her before, but feeling him suddenly firm up again filled her with a unique feeling she had neverexperienced before.

A delicate moan left her lips as her chest rippled, dancing with undulations of rouge and sweat.

She squealed, a little taken off guard when Ryu suddenly grabbed her ass. But soon after the world went blank and she couldn't be bothered to beembarrassed anymore, her hips moving on their own as though they had a mind of their own as well....

"Pervert," Hope's voice growled in Ryu's ear, leaving him speechless.

This wasn't the first time he had sex with his women with Hope around, but this was the first time she had commented on it. The thought made him chuckle,though only lightly since Eska had fallen asleep on his chest.

"Who told you to watch?"

Hope didn't answer, but sending his senses in, Ryu could see that she was pouting. He suddenly remembered why he had originally given her the little woman nickname, she was like a child in a woman's body.

"What do you think of Jojo?" Ryu suddenly asked.

"Are you asking me to rate your women now?!" Hope replied with an almost booming anger.

Ryu rolled his eyes. "That's not what I meant. I meant of her talent, don't you find it interesting? It's like she has Rage Flames, but in constitution form instead.

Have you ever heard of that talent?"

"... Yes," Hope finally replied, "but it's very rare."

"Oh?"

"It's not one talent, it's two. Well, technically three depending on the situation. It's a mixture of Bone Structure and Soul Nature, and the final "talent", depending on how you look at it, can be considered her Dao which resonates with both."

Ryu's brows shot up. "So she's like those Eighth Heaven talents who have all their talents fused down a single path? No wonder she's so strong."

"No, she's far better than them."

"She's mightier than an Eighth Heaven talent?"

"No, she's definitely weaker than the best of them."

"Then?"

"There's a difference between the artificial and true version. Those who had their talents artificially forced at birth can only gain some of the benefits ofsynergized talent even if they do so with all Six Pillars.

"Jojo's potential, though, is higher."
