After spending time with Falicia, Yasenia glanced at the remaining four people. The four of them felt all the hairs in their body stand up as if electricity had zapped them.

"I needed to do something! I will see you around, senior!"

"Same, I forgot a Secret Realm was opening. So, yeah, um. I am going before I lose my advantage!"

"Ah, to be honest, I was building a tomb. After all, my lifespan is getting quite short, and I wanted to prepare myself. It was a pleasure meeting you, senior."

"I... um... My child is about to be born. I should also get going!"

Then, the four of them activated their movement techniques and fled at a speed even Yasenia found quite hard to track. She blinked. "Wow, they are quite quick."

Evelyn sighed. "When the demon is at your tail, one finds strength to run from pure willpower."

Yasenia glanced over. "Did you say something, Dear?"

Evelyn’s back was instantly covered in cold sweat. She smiled stiffly. "N-Not at all, love. I didn’t."

Meanwhile, Kali was covering her mouth and laughing faintly. "One of them preferred to go create their own grave rather than stay. Pffhahaha."

Valeria spoke from behind her in a low, smiling tone. "Quite funny, right? I guess, since you find that funny, we can up our current level of training a notch, right?"

Kali’s laughter came to an abrupt stop, while Valeria glanced at Yasenia with a smile. "Little Yasenia, Kali needs your help training as well."

"Oh?"

Kali’s face lost all color.

Tatyana, wanting nothing but chaos to happen around her, smiled. "Not only Kali, but all of them had also wanted to train with and share whatever views you’ve gained in the [Primordial Palace]. How about training them collectively?"

Angel looked at Tatyana with eyes full of betrayal. "W-Why did you add all of us!?"

Yasenia, meanwhile, nodded. "That’s a good suggestion! Let’s train together for the time Falicia is here, then."

Four silent screams were heard and one excited little cheer. Yasenia, feeling the happiness from her Phoenix, smiled gently. ’I see, so they want to train with me more often. I was careless. I will help them train more from now on.’

The circle of misunderstanding was complete, and because of Yasenia’s excited and gorgeous golden eyes looking at them, none of the four girls could speak against it.

In the end, over the next few years, Yasenia helped everyone train with Falicia while also training herself. The year Yasenia turned 190, Falicia told Yasenia that they could go meet the [Sun Ray Sect Master].

Yasenia nodded while holding her baby in her arms. "My baby boy has been in his egg for 31 years already..." Looking down and raining kisses on the beautiful and now far larger egg, Yasenia muttered softly. "When are you going to hatch, love? Mommy wants to see my handsome little boy."

Meanwhile, Falicia was feeling complicated. The last few years had been... harsh. Beyond that, she was delighted that her strength had taken a massive leap. With Yasenia’s refinement baths, her brutal training, and her insights into cultivation, Falicia felt that she had become several times stronger compared to before.

But this was also a worry. In the first place, the reason she wanted to get stronger was not to lose too badly when facing the Sun Ray Sect Master. He was quite her type, so she wanted to put up a good fight before getting defeated.

In short, she wanted to show off a little, but not too much.

Falicia scanned her body, and her face gained a complicated look. ’Can he... win?’

Yasenia, having spent a few years with Falicia, was now a bit closer to her. While she had not become her master in name, Yasenia treated Falicia quite well. She treated her like a good-mannered junior, even when Falicia was over 100 times older than Yasenia.

"What’s wrong, Falicia? You don’t seem that happy?"

Looking at the gorgeous Dragon woman who glanced over to her with a slightly worried look, Falicia felt her feelings all over the place. She had been in quite close contact with this peerless carnal temptation incarnate, so to say that she was not moved would be a lie.

Yasenia’s beauty was just too hard to resist over long periods of close contact. Much more now that Yasenia had begun controlling her charm energy and sometimes released it to tease her lovers.

The collateral damage from those small bursts of raw attraction made Falicia’s heart beat so strongly that she needed to go... relieve herself those days.

Of course, lust and love were clearly separated in Falicia’s heart. She understood deeply that her feelings toward Yasenia were lust, with no signs of love. In her heart, the Sun Ray Sect Master was still number one by a large margin.

Falicia smiled at Yasenia. "Don’t worry too much. I am okay. I was just a bit nervous. I have not seen him in a few decades after our deal. So, I am worrying about this and that."

Yasenia hummed and chuckled. "If he has gotten someone else, do you want my help to beat him up a few times?"

Falicia shook her head and laughed a bit awkwardly. "No need. No need."

Inside, she was complaining. ’Won’t he die if Lady Yasenia beats him up seriously? Better to do it myself if things come to that...’

Evelyn approached and smirked at her. "Are you worried that you will beat him in the duel?"

Falicia flinched and then smiled resignedly. "You are always so sharp, Evelyn."

Other than Yasenia, Falicia called everyone by their name, but not Tatyana, Cecile, Valeria, and the maids. For them, she used respectful titles. As for Mirrory... Falicia made sure not to interact, as the vibes that person gave her were too overwhelming.

Andrea commented. "You don’t need to worry that much, right? If you’ve become strong enough to defeat a Sect Master of his caliber, there won’t really be too many people who can beat you. So, instead of allowing him to pursue you, you can do the pursuing, right?"

Falicia nodded and answered, her feelings complex. "It’s just... do men like women stronger than them? What if he becomes uncomfortable and doesn’t accept me?"

Cecile answered bluntly. "Then, he is not worthy of you. That’s all there is to it."

In Cecile’s mind, the concept of not liking the other party because they were too strong was an absurdity so out of her common sense that she felt revulsion for it. If your partner, male or female, was stronger than you, shouldn’t you feel delegated?

Andrea, knowing where Falicia was coming from, spoke softly. "You might not believe me, but when I first met Yasenia, I was much stronger than she was. However, at that time, I didn’t mind at all and accepted her. Yasenia was the first to accept me as I was, so I had no regrets. Later, Yasenia’s growth rate became... monstrous. I could constantly see her catching up to me, and some anxiety built up within me."

She recalled those days, and as she did, Yasenia approached and placed their egg between them as she hugged Andrea’s arm between her breasts. Seeing the dragon girl smiling at her lovingly, Andrea’s light green eyes softened. "Later, when she surpassed me, I realized that it didn’t matter. As long as I am by her side, that’s all there is to it. I won’t ever stop looking forward and getting stronger, trying to catch up. However, I won’t wallow in either the success or failure of such actions. The most important thing is that this little dragoness is my whole world, and the rest is secondary."

Yasenia snuggled in her arms, smiling brightly and nuzzling her face against Andrea’s chest. "I love you~."

Andrea laughed, kissing her forehead. "I love you, too."

Falicia saw Yasenia’s happily wagging tail and couldn’t help but feel a moment of envy. She had realized that the love between Yasenia and the others was incredibly pure and straightforward. There were no large complications, no resentful feelings, and while sometimes they clashed over trivial matters, it was more like playfighting than anything else. The next day, they would be laughing and joking around again.

"How..." Falicia held her tongue. It was not her place to ask or meddle in their relationship.

Kali, who heard the start of her question, answered quite simply. "Honesty and trust."

Falicia looked over.

"Yasenia has never once lied to us, and has always left her most vulnerable self visible. We know who she is, and she knows who we are. We communicate when things don’t work out, and we laugh when things go well. That’s how."

Falicia was silent. She asked herself if she could do the same with that man. ’Slowly and gradually... perhaps it is possible.’

Dao Companions in the cultivation world shared a bond deeper than common married people. So, based on that bond, Falicia felt that it would be possible to ask while revealing her deepest parts of herself.

She was not proud of some things she had done, and some secrets might be impossible to share. Still, she was willing to reveal those complicated feelings honestly. ’At least, I should try.’

Falicia’s steps became lighter, and Yasenia smiled faintly. Now, things were in the hands of that unknown man. Pondering over that, Yasenia asked. "Falicia, should I change into my dragon form?"

Among the people present, while there were many beauties, the rest didn’t really pull eyes like her. Kali had that motherly, gentle beauty; Evelyn, a youthful, mischievous one; Angel, a pure yet seductive one; Andrea, heroic and charming; while Cecile felt like a moon goddess detached from mortal feelings.

Tatyana... her elegant and imperial beauty was so overwhelming that, if she wanted to, there was no risk of people falling for her.

As for the maids, being maids, their beauty was always obscured by that fact, making people hesitate to approach rashly.

So, among all of them, Yasenia was the one who, just by being present, was able to make couples fall apart. Falicia wanted to say that there was no need to worry, as the Sun Ray Sect Master was not superficial. However, when she glanced over and saw Yasenia gently flicking her hair and using one hand to perch the rest behind one of her ears, her tongue got tangled. ’So seductive...’

"Ahem. It would be nice if you would, Lady Yasenia."

Yasenia laughed, her prominent curves jiggling with her gorgeous laughing face. Falicia felt, once again, that not being stubborn was the correct decision.

"Well, since I am transforming, how about I carry everyone over?"

"Carry?" Falicia tilted her head. "Wasn’t Lady Yasenia quite a small dragon?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Evelyn blinked and laughed. "Small?"

Yasenia shot to the sky, celestial blue light covering the firmament.

Evelyn looked up and grinned. "Our Yasenia isn’t small, no matter how you want to describe her."

ROAR!

A heaven-shaking dragon roar made their very bones tremble, and then, the world darkened as a creature with a wingspan of almost 200 kilometers appeared in the sky.

The Sun and Moon on her wings looked like the real celestial bodies, while her figure spanned from horizon to horizon. The gargantuan dragon glanced down, her golden eyes gleaming like two suns. Falicia’s jaw hung low, refusing to return to her original level.

The sky-blotting dragon smiled faintly. "Come and mount on my head. I’ll specially carry you over this time to make a grand entrance."
