Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 1181. Reuniting with the Long Dragons.
Chapter 1181 - 1181. Reuniting with the Long Dragons.
Yasenia and Soluna departed shortly after their conversation. As they were running through the Secret Realm, Soluna glanced at Yasenia with a smile and spoke. "You are a bit slow~. Do you want me to carry you?"
Yasenia rolled her eyes. "Are you really going to compare yourself with me? We are one realm apart!"
Soluna laughed and jumped onto Yasenia's back, kissing her neck. "I love you~."
The dragoness sighed with a smile and continued running. "We need to go to the meeting place soon. I guess that the Long family people have already finished breaking through, right?"
"Probably~. It has been more than five years since we entered the Secret Realm."
Yasenia nodded. Soluna sniffed Yasenia's neck, enjoying the relaxing ride. Suddenly, she noticed a presence chasing after them. 'Hm?'
She looked over as her Spiritual Sense expanded outward toward that person. Yasenia asked, curious. "Have you noticed anything?"
"Hm... There is someone following us. I don't know who it is."
Yasenia didn't slow down. "Oh? I wonder who it is."
"Well... I can't sense much because they have some sort of presence concealing treasure."
"I see." Yasenia smiled coldly. "Let's see if they can keep up with me. [Pegasus Gallop]."
Whoosh!
Her body transformed into a shooting star, streaking through the terrain at a terrifying speed. Soluna noticed the presence being left behind for a moment. However, before she could inform Yasenia, that presence accelerated as well and caught up to them, maintaining a similar distance to before.
"They are still here~. Hehe, you are quite slow, Yasenia."
Yasenia's eyes squinted. "Since it is chasing after us even after I've accelerated, it is clear that their intentions are not quite good."
"Why?" Soluna blinked. "What if they wanted to make sure you are safe?"
"Who would do that, hiding like that? If they wanted to protect me, they would instead approach and travel by my side instead of staying in the dark."
Soluna began imagining strange scenarios. "What if he is your secret admirer and has decided to follow you and become your shadow? He will chase after you, never being able to bathe in your light. However, as a loyal shadow, he will always protect you and be there for you!"
Yasenia rolled her eyes. "Have you been reading those books in Evelyn's library?"
Soluna stuck out her tongue playfully. "Hehe~. You got me~."
The dragoness chuckled. "Still, I didn't know that my Dear had such tastes. I'll tease her once we return."
After traveling for two weeks, Yasenia finally reached the location the Long family told her about. The place is a hidden lake cave inside the mountains. To reach there, one needed to go through a small cave path and then traverse a convoluted tunnel maze. Then, they would enter a gigantic dark cave with a massive lake in the middle.
The only light here was the one emitted from the blue algae in the water, adding a gorgeous glow to the surroundings. Yasenia patted Soluna's butt and spoke softly. "Time to wake up, my sleepy miss."
Soluna's eyelashes fluttered open, and she yawned. "Wow~. Sleeping while you carry me on your back is so comfortable. The tail is just the perfect support."
Yasenia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Have I turned now into a bed or what?"
Soluna jumped down and quickly dug into her arms, acting coquettish. "Hehe~, you are my comfortable bed~. Your body is softer than a mattress and better smelling than a flower bed!"
Yasenia kissed the top of her head and laughed. "Angel will fight with you for that spot. Be prepared."
Soluna's eyes shone with battle intent. "I won't lose!"
Yasenia's eyes shone with pampering feelings.
"Oh? There is someone here already?"
Yasenia and Soluna stopped flirting and looked toward the entrance. A handsome middle-aged man stepped out of the darkness. Yasenia recognized his face and smiled at him. "Senior Aoshuang, I am glad to see you safe."
Long Aoshuang glanced at Yasenia up and down, his eyes showing curiosity. "To think that you have not died during the last five years. It seems that I've underestimated you. Still, you should be careful, Yasenia. Now, many Sixth Realm cultivators have been born."
Yasenia nodded faintly. "I know. Thank you for the concern, Senior."
Long Aoshuang nodded. "We'll need to wait for around three months, and everyone who's alive will gather here."
Yasenia sighed and nodded. "Three months. I understand. I'll explore the cave system in the meantime to see if I can find a treasure."
Long Aoshuang stepped forward and reappeared by Yasenia's side with a smile. "I'll go with you."
Yasenia glanced at him, their heights being quite similar. "Sure."
Both of them started walking around, their eyes moving as they traveled and their noses twitching from time to time. Long Aoshuang caught onto something and smiled proudly. "Come, Yasenia. I've found something quite good."
The dragoness glanced over to that place and nodded, confused. 'I can only smell ordinary treasures. Is his sense of smell better than mine?'
While our dragoness didn't dare classify herself as having the best nose, she was quite confident about hers being quite excellent.
Once they arrived at the place, Long Aoshuang, Soluna, and Yasenia hid themselves and looked over. Long Aoshuang muttered. "It seems that there is a guardian beast protecting the treasure. Its strength is not bad as well." He glanced at Yasenia, his face quite close to Yasenia's as he looked down at her with a smile. "How about I distract the beast, and then you take the chance to steal as many of the treasures it is protecting as possible?"
Yasenia looked at the man who was so close to her with a frown. "Senior, please don't get so close to me."
The dragon's lips twitched, and his face gained a curious glance. "Why not? I am not bad-looking, right? Other dragons wouldn't mind having a small adventure together. Moreover, I am a Sixth Realm Dragon, I can assure you that you'll benefit from Dual Cultivating with me."
Yasenia sighed and shook her head. "Senior, I understand that I am really attractive. However, please don't think that I am an easy person because I have a harem. Not to mention, my harem is entirely female. If you don't respect these boundaries, we'll have to go separate our ways."
Long Aoshuang sighed. "So stubborn. Who would know other than your spirit? Your lovers restrain you too much. Don't you feel suffocated?"
Yasenia smiled at that sentence. "I like the chains they've placed around me and take them seriously. The reason lovers place chains on each other is to have a sense of security. Once those boundaries are broken, trust is broken forever and almost impossible to regain. There will always be a doubt at the back of the other person's mind. Hence, I want Senior to respect my boundaries before I become angered by your insistence. I'll not explain myself again."
Long Aoshuang shook his head. "Whatever. It seems that the way you live is quite separated from the usual Dragons. I guess that staying together with non-dragons for too long can have such effects." His slit pupils suddenly thinned and he looked toward the place where the guardian beast was. "There is someone there."
Yasenia was trying her best to calm Soluna from burning the dragon in front of her into ashes when his warning reached her. 'Soluna love, pay attention.'
Soluna harrumphed in her mind. 'Next time, let's have sex near him so that he knows whose person you are! A low-bloodline lizard trying to mate with the best dragon bloodline? He is too delusional!'
Paying attention to the place where the treasure was located, Yasenia finally noticed what Long Aoshuang was eager about. However, once she looked at it, Yasenia and Soluna lost all interest. 'A [Deep Rock Lotus Heart]...'
Soluna snorted with derision. 'He is excited about a Quasi-Transcendence Ranked plant? I guess his standards are as cheap as his bloodline!'
Yasenia almost choked. That was quite brutal.
BOOM!
The guardian beast, a giant centipede with a rocky armor-like carapace, started battling the other cultivator. Long Aoshuang squinted. "Should we go now?"
Yasenia blinked. "I think we should go. That kind of plant is not valuable enough to offend another Sixth Realm cultivator."
Long Aoshuang shook his head. "You are like a tamed Dragon... What a shame." He commented. "Since you don't want to go, just stay here and wait for me."
"No need to." Yasenia smiled. "I'll go search for treasures on my own. We don't seem to be compatible."
Then, Yasenia jumped back and left, leaving that zone of the caves. She wandered around for three weeks. And then, she returned to the central lake area without any significant spoils.
"Hm? Yasenia!"
The dragoness heard a happy voice and then was hugged by a body that didn't lose in curviness compared to her own. Yasenia could quickly identify the person hugging her and smiled. "Long Tianyi, long time no see."
Tianyi smiled widely, her eyes showing joy from seeing Yasenia again. However, her happy smile quickly became somewhat melancholic. Yasenia asked, confused. "What's wrong?"
Tianyi smiled sadly. "Brother Ziyan, Zeyu, Moxuan, and Sister Fengli have died due to the Heavenly Tribulation."
Yasenia's face turned quite serious. "So... How many Long family dragons are left?"
Tianyi sighed. "I don't know about Brother Aoshuang. Without counting him, only the three people here are left. Myself, Sister Xueli, and Brother Yangchen."
Yasenia sighed and patted her back. "Aoshuang is alive. He is inside the caves hunting for treasures." Then, she asked. "What about Long Qingyan? You haven't mentioned her."
Tianyi's face changed to an enraged one. "She died in combat, fighting an ambush. By the time we arrived at the location of her distress signal, it was too late. Thankfully, we managed to recover her corpse."
Yasenia sighed softly. "Sorry for your loss, Big Sister Tianyi."
Tianyi separated from the hug and smiled faintly. "No need to. Deaths due to Heavenly Tribulation are quite common. The fact that half of us could overcome it is already quite a miracle."
Tianyi's eyes finally turned toward the adorable spirit at the side, and she blinked. "So... Who is this cutie?"
Soluna smiled widely. "I am Yasenia's contracted spirit! My name is Soluna."
Long Xueli at the side exclaimed. "Wow! Little Sister Yasenia has a Contracted Spirit? I heard that it is incredibly hard to get one because of how much they value freedom."
Soluna puffed her chest. "Yasenia is super powerful and beautiful and nice. How could I not want to become her contracted spirit?"
Tianyi's face became somewhat strange at the way Soluna spoke about Yasenia. Then, Soluna jumped into Yasenia's arms, kissing her lips. "I love Yasenia the most in the world!"
The three dragons froze for a second, their eyes widening. Long Yangchen asked, his face full of bewilderment. "Weren't most Spirits asexual? Why is this one showing such a loving face?"
Xueli coughed. "Brother Yangchen, it's better not to dig deeply into Little Yasenia's private matters. She is here to help us activate the entrance to the temple."
Tianyi looked at Soluna with envy in her heart. However, she didn't show much and just sighed. "Either way, we'll wait for Brother Aoshuang and go to the Dragon Temple."
