While Yasenia appeared in her dragon form, Cecile and the others looked from a distance. Cecile couldn’t take her eyes away from the dragon that manifested. She was utterly smitten by its imposing body, sleek curves, and perfectly balanced dragon body.

Evelyn noticed her look and teased. "Cecile, careful, you are drooling."

Cecile snapped out of her daze and slurped. "My bad. She looks too good when she is showing off."

Andrea chuckled. "Agreed. Either way, how do you think your sect will react when presented with an ultimatum between Bing Chen and your entire sect?"

Cecile spoke with confusion. "Of course, they will give up Bing Chen. There is no reason to fight a bloody battle with Yasenia to save that one Grand Elder, right?"

Andrea hummed. "Perhaps. I am also unsure. It will mostly depend on how much Yasenia targets them with her aura, haha."

The others chuckled.

Meanwhile, within the defensive formation, Sect Master Bai spoke up. "Senior. I am unsure what Bing Chen did to you, so I won’t act as if I know. Still, could you find forgiveness in your heart?"

Yasenia, looking down at everything even while standing on the ground, spoke one word. "No. Hand him over."

Bing Chen spoke up, his eyebrows furrowing. "I am unsure how I offended the senior. May I know where I came across you, Senior?"

’First, I need to understand what is happening. Why am I being personally attacked by an ancient dragon who came from who knows where? With her beauty, I would’ve known where I met her.’

Yasenia glanced at Bing Chen. "You speak too much. Still, knowing your mistake before sending you off doesn’t feel too bad."

While everyone tensed up, Yasenia spoke. "You tried to sell off my soulmate."

"Huh...?"

Everyone in the sect froze, not having expected such a devastating sentence to come out of the dragon’s mouth. Selling her partner, her soulmate no less? They were currently lucky that the giant dragon was not trying to bury their entire sect with malice!

Sect Master Bai, a woman whose expression was always the same, couldn’t help but feel her expression crumple. She not only stopped thinking about helping him, but also thought of tying him up with a beautiful knot and kicking him right into the dragon’s maw! ’Who messes with a dragon’s soulmate? That’s suicide!’

Bing Chen, though, was calm. ’Ah. So it is a misunderstanding. I’ve never done anything like that, so it is quite impossible.’

"Senior. It seems that you are under some misconception. I have not come into contact with any beast lately. Therefore, whoever messed with Senior’s soulmate might’ve wanted to use us as bait to hide the main culprit. Please, senior, investigate."

Yasenia’s golden eyes were unchanging. Finally, she spoke. "It seems that you won’t acknowledge your coffin until I kick you right in. Alright, I will give your sect members one last chance. Hand Bing Chen over, and today’s matter ends here. Do not handle it, and I’ll show you Bing Chen’s good deeds."

Sect Master Bai was somewhat torn between the dragon, who looked absolutely confident that she had caught the thief, and the chicken that was puffing his cheeks confidently in front of a raging fire.

She really couldn’t choose for a second, but after thinking, she sighed and spoke. "Senior, please forgive our rudeness. We are willing to hand Bai Chen over, but only when you actually confirm it happened."

Bing Chen didn’t have anything to say about it, as he believed himself innocent. Therefore, Yasenia looked at them with a sigh and spoke. "Come here, Sweetheart."

Everyone paid attention, and soon, a peerlessly beautiful woman appeared by Yasenia’s dragon head. The second she appeared, with her white robes and silvery wings fluttering in the wind, everyone’s heart sank to the bottom of their stomach.

Bing Chen’s confident expression cracked, his eyes trembling.

Meanwhile, Cecile looked down at them with an indifferent look and spoke. "I told you many times that I had a partner already. You never listened. Why would you try to marry off a woman who already has someone? Disgraceful."

"C-Cecile?" Bing Chen was horrified, while the rest were confused as to why she could fly so easily by the dragon’s side.

Yasenia looked at Sect Master Bai and spoke, her voice cold and a touch impatient. "Is this proof enough?"

"Proof?" Sect Master Bai was honestly lost. "Why would Cecile’s appearance be a surprise?"

Her question made Yasenia frown. Suddenly, a very ridiculous thought appeared in her head as she looked at the Sect Master. "You... When was the last time you spoke with Cecile?"

Thinking back, Sect Master Bai frowned and answered. "A few decades ago. I only saw her once because Bing Chen told me she was chosen by the royals to fulfill her dignity."

Yasenia looked at her for a few seconds before sighing. "Whatever. Whatever. I am done. You lot are really pieces of ice from the inside out. Thankfully, my Cecile isn’t like that."

Bing Chen, meanwhile, shouted back. "Hey, dragon! She is deceiving you. Cecile is a Phoenix Beast Human, not a Phoenix Beast."

Yasenia spoke silently. "Cecile."

QYAA~.

A gorgeous phoenix cry harmonized with the world around them, and a second later, a gargantuan phoenix over 50 kilometers in wingspan manifested in the middle of the air. While her size was not as ridiculous as Yasenia’s, making her look like a somewhat large falcon by a human’s side, it was more than enough proof that Cecile could transform, making her a de facto beast.

"Impossible!" Bing Chen shouted. "Cecile is a Beast Human!"

Cecile, in her phoenix form, rubbed her head against Yasenia’s and spoke lazily. "I never said I was either. I just didn’t bother transforming."

Yasenia, not really wanting to continue looking at him, took matters into her own hands. Her claw extended and collided against the defensive formation. "I’ll just take him from you since you are all hesitating."

With a massive Bang! Yasenia’s claw pierced and grabbed Bing Chen, who had already planned to flee.

Once she did, Yasenia didn’t even give another look at Sect Master Bai and flew off together with Cecile.

Sect Master Bai, noticing the destroyed defensive formation, had her heart twitch. It would be quite a lot of money and resources to repair and rebuild it.

Meanwhile, Yasenia returned to the group and transformed back with Cecile, both of them landing with Bing Chen in tow. Tatyana asked, curious. "Why did you take him alive?"

Yasenia smiled widely and chuckled. "I did because this man is a special milestone."

Everyone looked, and Yasenia grinned. "With his death, my journey to get my dears back is finally complete!"

Then, Bing Chen’s body soared to the sky and exploded. "Fireworks~. "

Everyone’s eyebrow twitched at the macabre sight. Still, since Yasenia was too happy to care about anything else, no one commented and instead looked at each other.

They were truly reunited, with no one left behind. Well... Yasenia paused and sighed. "Our babies are still in the Heavenly Layer below, but we can’t move down because of our cultivation. So, we can only pray that they will have a smooth journey."

Andrea looked at the baby in her arms and smiled. "Not all of them are below, though. Look at our healthy baby boy!"

Cecile’s eyes lit up. "A boy? Yasenia wanted one very badly. Good job, Andrea."

"Huh? Why ’good job’?"

Cecile spoke matter-of-factly. "Wasn’t it your sperm that managed to pierce Yasenia’s egg? So, it is a good job on your part for defeating and making her accept your love."

Everyone glanced at Cecile with curiosity. Cecile blinked. "What’s wrong?"

"No."

"Nothing~."

"Doesn’t matter."

Yasenia couldn’t help but laugh at their discussion. She was still holding Cecile, since they just reunited and were craving skinship with each other. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"So." Evelyn laughed. "The infamous question. What’s our next plan?"

Yasenia smirked. "Training."

"Huh?"

Yasenia raised her eyebrow. "You all don’t think that we won’t test where your current limits are, right? If I don’t even know your attacks, how can I prepare supplements for all of you?"

Angel was confused. "Supplements?"

Yasenia smiled. "Garest, my spatial treasure, was previously a massive garden with powerful plants. So, I can pick from there to create something nutritious."

Cecile saw a salad appear before her as they spoke, making her nostrils flare at the utterly tempting aroma coming from the dish. "What is this?"

Yasenia answered. "A good thing. Go to the side and cultivate."

Speaking of which, after kidnapping Bing Chen, their group moved to a random mountain range so that they could sit down in one of its large caves.

The furniture was naturally provided from Anna and Eve’s storage rings.

After Cecile finished her delicious salad, her energy flared up, and she quickly went to sit down and cultivate.

"So, Yasenia, can you tell us now what happened to you? You more or less know what happened to us, but we know little about you."

Yasenia hummed. "Where do I begin...?"

So, Yasenia proceeded to explain a bit of her adventures for real this time. Her arrival, meeting with Feixue, entering the sect, battle against the Abyssal Human, and more.

While Yasenia glossed over the difficult parts or when she was injured, all the girls knew that Yasenia had her fair share of ordeals.

One day was not enough to explain everything, of course. Unlike with others, Yasenia was explaining her journey in detail, even adding some personal content so that she would be seduced by her wives later!

After all, Angel, Evelyn, and Cecile still had not taken that last step with her. It wasn’t because of anything special but a matter of timing.

Anyway, after waiting for Cecile to digest the salad, Yasenia finally decided to start using her training tools to the maximum efficiency. The first thing to do was to register everyone in the Star Breaker Realm Bead.

For this, Yasenia presented Sui Xing to her lovers. "This is Sui Xing! He is the spirit of the Star Breaker Realm Bead. A senior of a past era, someone worthy of respect!"

Sui Xing chuckled and glanced at Yasenia’s lovers. "So, it is them? The ones for whom you risked your life plenty of times?"

Yasenia smiled proudly. "Yes! This is them!"

Sui Xing laughed at Yasenia’s antics. "Alright, everyone, don’t resist. The maids included. While I can’t register you, I can bring you all to an illusory arena."

The Ancient Treasure pulsed, enveloping everyone, and then they all entered the Realm Bead with their consciousness.
