After Tatyana fell asleep, Cecile and the rest stood up and left the living room with a gentle smile. They didn’t mind Yasenia’s declaration; they knew who Yasenia loved the most.
When they closed the door, Andrea spoke, “We also have to become stronger. The last thing I want is to become a burden for Yasenia and Tatyana.”
The rest nodded. Cecile said, “Evelyn, Angel, let’s go to the training room. Andrea and I will coach you. Since we don’t need to sleep, let’s use the nights Yasenia can’t be with us to cultivate.”
Evelyn nodded and said, “The good thing is that as Yasenia approaches our level, her Yang energy becomes exponentially stronger.”
Angel said with a smile, “Yasenia’s Yang energy is a delish~. It nourishes our bodies, strengthens our foundation, and speeds up our cultivation.”
Angle shyly said, “It is also delicious~.”
The others chuckled, and Andrea sighed with a smile, “She is a walking cultivation treasure. The best thing is that besides pleasure, her energy isn’t invasive and harmful. It upgrades our strength smoothly and gently. I’ve also noticed my sexual stamina building up, so my Yin energy is also getting stronger.”
Cecile said with a gentle smile, “We are very lucky to have her.” She chuckled and continued, “I sometimes want to hide her in my pocket from the world so that other people stop coveting her.”
Angel repeatedly nodded, completely agreeing. However, Andrea and Evelyn raised an eyebrow at that statement, but they didn’t say anything.
Meanwhile, Yasenia looked down at Tatyana’s sleeping visage in the living room with a soft smile. Yasenia moved with Tatyana in her arms until she was beside the window, making the moonlight cover the mother and daughter with a silver blanket.
Yasenia traced the contour of her mother’s face, looking at her long eyelashes and the shadows that the moonlight made with them on her face. Tatyana’s facial features were relaxed, with her mouth slightly opened, and her breathing was even.
Yasenia cradled Tatyana with her arms and tail and hummed a soft tune that Tatyana sang to her when she was little. Her voice filled the living room with a soft and slow melody, giving a peaceful ambient to the living room, letting Tatyana sleep peacefully.
Yasenia began thinking about the end of her travel when she finally achieved her objective. ‘I will have to build a place where our family can live peacefully in the future. Passing our days together, cooking together, maybe we could have a little garden and grow different things as we see our children run around...’
A natural smile formed on Yasenia’s face; she really liked that future.
Yasenia kept thinking about things that they could do, away from the cultivation world, the never-ending fight for supremacy, the never-ending cycle of hatred, revenge, death, and betrayal.
However, for that scenery to become true, she needed strength. She needed to be part of the cultivation world, become stronger, and reach a level where other people won’t bother them. ‘I will keep advancing, even if I have to become....’
Yasenia shook her head and put those thoughts apart. The road was long, and she was just at the starting point. ‘I haven’t even seen clearly a senior cultivator strength... Teacher Mason’s display was just a single attack. Will it shock me?’
Yasenia’s face hardened, ‘Even if it shocks me, I won’t let it put me down too long. I will push forward and come out stronger!’
She had a cloak around her shoulders, and nothing of her body could be seen. She also had a veil covering her whole face, hiding her skin.
They managed to recognize her because of her chestnut-colored hair and her aura more than anything else.
Cecile and the others looked strangely at Kali. They didn’t know what to do with this scarred girl. Yasenia, on the other side, greeted Kali normally. However, the hesitation in her gestures didn’t escape Tatyana. “Kali! Where have you been these days? A lot of things have happened~.”
Kali looked at their reactions and tilted her head confused, “Are you speaking of your fight against that undead summoner? I was there seeing it.”
Then, Kali said, sounding a little shy. “Y-You were very heroic and beautiful.”
Although the veil covered her face, there was a blush on her scarred face. Yasenia chuckled and changed the topic, “Not that. Have you heard about me killing a Thousand Poisons Valley disciple?”
Kali shook her head. They began walking, and Yasenia explained superficially about the Abyss and other things that may happen. Kali listened closely and said, “A place where they find a mate based on strength and not looks... It isn’t that bad. Why would other races group up against them?”
Yasenia raised her eyebrow, “Well, that is another way to see it. At the end of the day, everything depends on the situation of the people involved. For example, I wouldn’t want to live there.”
Feeling Kali confused, Yasenia elaborated. “If I lived there, other people could steal my lovers at any time, right? For me, that is something unacceptable.”
Kali realized her blunder and stuttered, “S-sorry, I didn’t mean that I, uh, of course, that is bad, Umm....”
Yasenia’s heart softened, seeing her nervousness, and she patted her head. Then she smiled gently and said, “I know what you meant; I was just giving my side of how I feel about it.”
Yasenia thought about it a little, and, seeing her fidgeting, she asked, “Do you want to come train with us? Mom is teaching us; one more girl shouldn’t be a problem.”
Kali looked at the reactions of the others, and seeing neither rejection nor aversion, she nodded. She didn’t want to be on their bad side since she has been looking secretly at Yasenia during these days and knows that she loves them deeply.
It is clear to anyone watching how she interacts with her harem members and how much she cherishes them. Especially Angel, who is always on her lap or burying her face in her breasts. She was actually quite jealous.
Kali followed after them and looked down, thinking, ‘If I want to enter her harem, I need to find a way to heal my scars, especially the ones down-‘
Kali smirked disdainfully, ‘I mean, I could confess, but... Will she even accept me? No matter if the scars heal, someone like me... Thinking about what she told senior sister Linda... Will she even look at me having senior sister Linda as an option?’
Kali looked down and clenched her fists under her cloak. ‘Why did something like that have to happen to me!? What did I do wrong to deserve this!?’
Yasenia patted Kali on the shoulder after she didn’t answer her calls, “Kali, did you hear? What would you like as a weapon?”
Kali woke up from her thoughts and answered, “Umm, a longsword wouldn’t be bad.”
Tatyana looked at Kali in contemplation, ‘She has a very muddy heart. How did she even manage to remain sane? She should even hear illusory voices and whispers from time to time. Either her psyche is very strong, or she is too far gone... For the moment, It seems to lean toward the first option... What an impressive little girl.’
Tatyana noticed that when Yasenia spoke to Kali, her heart demons would lighten, but they would strengthen when she talked to the others. ‘This isn’t good. Yasenia is too carefree before this girl... *Sigh* At the end of the day, no matter how perceptive, she is still young and doesn’t know how to handle this situation...’
“Little treasure.” Yasenia looked back at Tatyana, “Come with me; I need to ask you something.”
