Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

Don\'t get him wrong, Hal was not averse to her touch.

He loved it.

That beautiful flowery scent coming off her body permeated his nose and got him wanting to breathe in even more of it. That warm soft feeling of her body.

His hand went lower towards her shapely ass which he gave a firm squeeze.

"Mmnghhh" Leona moaned and pressed even closer into his body before she gasped and asked, 

"Why do I feel this good?"

Hal smiled lightly, 

"Because you are with me" he said.

And then took his hand off her ass as though to give her space as a gentleman would, 

"You should stop touching me... That is of course if you don\'t want to feel this way" he said.

Leona looked up at his face and after a short while, her pretty pink lips separated and her pupils dilated with pleasure, 

"I... want to feel it" she said and Hal took her words as an invitation for him to take her lips in a hard and passionate kiss that saw to a further weakening of her legs just as she closed her eyes.

Her arm strength increased and she grabbed Hal even tighter than before and even as she felt her pussy lips moisten and begin to dampen her underwear, she only embraced the pleasurable feeling all the more.

"Mmnghh" Leona moaned into the kiss until eventually, Hal pulled away from her and held her away from himself with his hands on her shoulders.

Leona kept her eyes closed for a while longer as she adjusted to the loss of Hal\'s manly hold while also coming to terms with the craving her body had for his touch. A craving that did not go away even after Hal stopped touching her.

Hal slowly lifted his hands off her shoulders and was pleased to see Leona was stable enough to remain on her feet, unsupported.

When Leona opened her eyes, she took a deep breath and gazed upon the incomparably handsome face of the Blue-eyed young man whose very gaze was causing her to quiver.

"You\'ve done that before" she said.

Not a question.

Hal chuckled, 

"So have you" he said and Leona nodded in admittance.

"You are a womanizer" she said.

Also not a question.

"Yes, I am" Hal did not deny.

"And you want to seduce me" Leona said.

Still not a question.

"Yes" Hal answered. Now leaning against the pillar he had been leaning against before.

"So that I get you even higher on the list" she said.

Leona was definitely not one to ask questions and would rather prefer to make knowing statements.

Hal nodded, 

"Absolutely" he said.

"If you\'re admitting all this, then you must believe your seduction was successful" Leona said with a confident and sarcastic smirk.

But how could Hal not see through such an obvious facade?

He shrugged, 

"You tell me. Was it?" He asked and walked closer to Leona to would an arm around her waist and pull her closer to himself.

Then he pushed his face closer to hers as though to take her lips only to stop before actually making contact.

Leona pulled away from him but Hal did not pursue. Instead, he watched her with a smile.

Eventually, the silver-eyed lady said, 

"From the moment you planned to come here, we have known. Mother... The Sect head won\'t tell me why you are here which is why I wanted to ask you directly as I was instructed to turn you away."

Hal raised a brow, 

"Really now. Even with Princess Tanya\'s imperial seal?" He asked.

Leona took a deep breath, 

"Especially because of Princess Tanya\'s seal. Whatever you are here for must involve Imperial palace politics. That is the only matter mother does not wish to pay heed to." She said and searched Hal\'s eyes as though to find confirmation.

Alas, Hal\'s expression remained the same as he took on a contemplative expression, 

"Hmmm, so what, it\'s a no-go?" He asked with a light smile.

There was no way this was the end.

Had Leona not been curious enough to actually have a conversation with him, it might truly have been impossible and he would then contact Tanya with his communication Talisman to ask for another way to get what he came here for.

However, not to even mention the fact that he had been successful in his seduction, there was now something else he could maybe use to his advantage...

"When you say \'Mother\', do you mean it as a term all disciples use in referring to the Sect head, or is she your actual mother?" He asked.

Leona closed her eyes as though to inwardly berate herself for letting it slip before she opened them and said, 

"I mean she is actually my mother. Gave birth to me and all that."

Now Hal moved closer to her and brushed a lock of her black hair behind her ear, 

"So then, surely you can facilitate a meeting. I wasn\'t lying when I said I need to speak with her. Your mother has... Something. Something the princess wants. Something I actually don\'t give a crap about other than the fact that getting it would earn me a lot of blue gems."

Leona bit her lower lip, 

"But you\'re a Doxon... Surely you can\'t be in want for blue gems. Why work for someone else to get what your family has in abundance?" she asked.

Hal shrugged, 

"Alas, when I told you that my mother is a Doxon but I am not, I was not being anything but truthful.

So how about it? Will you help me?" He asked her with a grin that had Leona\'s heart racing.

She sighed and turned away from Hal as she walked out of the hut,

"Of course. If that\'s what you really want, I\'ll get you a meeting with my mother. But I will tell you this, she has already made up her mind not to be cooperative and I believe it would be infinitely hard to change her mind.

Also, she is in a bit of a bad mood due to certain issues our sect will be facing soon so she might be a tad bit irritable.

In the case of my dear mother though, \'Irritable\' means angry enough to kill you as soon as she feels like doing so" she said and led the way while Hal eagerly followed.

His smiling expression remained unchanged.

...

As was expected if a large sect such as this, they did not complete the trip on foot. However, while Leona, now very chatty, explained the use of short-distance Teleportation circles similar to the ones used in the Imperial palace being the main mode of transportation in the sect, she made use of a special circle.

The circle was the same as the one that had brought them from outside the gates into the Sect. And it was also not giving off Astral energy.

Anyway, Leona led him to the main building and then into a large and impressive hall with a throne-like chair clearly meant for the sect head.

Then Leona made to leave but before she could, a black hole appeared in the middle of the hall, and out of it walked a lady with a striking resemblance with Leona, including the silver eyes and same shade of black hair, albeit more mature.

She eyed Hal for a while and then looked to Leona, 

"What is this?" She asked with a bit of annoyance in her tone.

"Calm down Corrina, he just wants to speak with mother." Leona said without a hint of worry dor her sister\'s obvious bad mood.

"Well, mother does not wish to speak to him. She has enough to think about with the impending arrival of... you-know-who" Corrina said.

Leona opened her mouth to respond when a voice announced another presence in the room.

All eyes turned towards the throne-like chair in the hall on which sat a comfortable looking Sect head who surveyed Hal with a smile and eyes that told of wicked intentions,

"Actually, with how far this young man has gone with you sister, Corrina, I might as well hear what he has to say...

.... Before I kill him"
