Chapter 241: One Woman and One Crab. Petting Kali.

Andrea didn't have to search for the rings for a long time since she was using her spiritual sense. Sadly, only two out of the four survived the high temperatures. Andrea picked them up and swept them with her consciousness. After looking inside, she almost spat in disdain. "Demonic cultivators are either extremely poor or extremely wealthy. These were filthy poor."

Andrea sighed, "I guess their wealth depends on how many people they've hunted. Since I caught them before they could rob other people, they didn't have much inside their rings. They are worse than beasts."

Although Andrea didn't generalize, it was a fact that most of the demonic cultivators were scum when talking about moral values. Even if a cultivator wouldn't refrain from using their strength to get the things they want, they would at least have a small restraint. On the other side, demonic cultivators did all kinds of inhuman things because of simple whims.

Andrea gained some middle-level earth-ranked weapons and robes of the same level. Besides that, they had some currently useless crystal coins, beast cores, and other miscellaneous things. There were also Demonic Cultivation methods and skills, which she couldn't learn. There were also some tools to torture people and shady medicines.

The thing she found useful were the pills. But Andrea was somewhat ignorant, so she didn't dare touch them without checking what they were. Therefore, Andrea called Kali.

Kali picked up a minute later.

Andrea didn't beat around the bush and described the pills to her. Miss doctor easily differentiated each type of pill, and Andrea wrote it on a white sheet to avoid forgetting.

There were some low-level earth-ranked pills of different effects, nothing she didn't have. Aphrodisiacs, poisons, and their antidotes weren't as abundant, but there were some nonetheless. The toxins in one of the pills were quite powerful, and Kali warned Andrea not to use them lightly. Andrea nodded since she could clearly feel the strong poison in them.

"By the way, Andrea. Those two black, purple, and green pills are mass-produced [Black Suicide Pills]. They are extremely toxic, but you can rest assured because to make something so toxic and low-level, they had sacrificed its spreading strength. Therefore, these pills won't work to kill people like they work for suicide. The trick is that you must consciously move the poison around the body to have an extremely swift death."

Andrea said, "In short, they are useless to me."

Kali answered, "Yes, but keep them since they can come in handy in the future. Of course, not to kill ourselves but other people."

Andrea laughed, "Don't worry, Kali. I do not plan to kill myself. I will also keep them in my ring until we meet."

Kali said, "The last two pills you described to me are pills to get stronger for a short amount of time at the cost of crippling your cultivation. They forcefully upgrade your cultivation to gain that strength, hence, the backlash."

Kali repeatedly warned her not to use them because they were extremely harmful. Andrea said with a smile in her voice. "Thanks, Kali. I will keep it in mind."

"Darling! You better not use them, or I will have sex with you when you have no cultivation! I'm curious as to what would happen~."

Andrea heard Yasenia's voice through Kali's call and said softly, "I won't. However, if you do that, you will kill me, dearest."

Yasenia's charming laugh tickled Andrea's ears. Then, she said. "By the way, are you still with those four guys?"

Andrea said, "Nah, they are dead. I killed them after they lost value and began being a little bit dangerous."

Andrea heard Yasenia sigh in relief, "Good job, darling~. I will reward you plenty when we meet!"

Andrea chuckled gently and answered, "I will be waiting for it. I already miss you, my love. Anyway, thanks, Kali. I now know how to use these things."

"No problem, telling you this much is granted."

They kept speaking for a bit, and then Andrea cut the communication. She looked at the crab that was looking at her with glittering black eyes and patted its 'shell.' "Let's keep looting this place."

This has been her way of overcoming most of her struggles, be honest with Yasenia and do not hide your fears, discomfort, or any other negative emotions. She knew Yasenia would console her and wash her worries away with love.

Kali fully trusted that Yasenia wouldn't judge and that she would guide her through these moments.

And that was what was happening right now.

Kali was between Yasenia's arms, her tail being caressed by Yasenia's soft tail and her ears being gently massaged. Yasenia's mellow and slightly deep voice filled her soul through her hearing sense, reassuring her repeatedly. "I will never do anything that may hurt you, honey. We will always fight together against our enemies, okay? I love you so much. How could I make something that will make you feel so anguished?"

Kali had half-closed eyes and subconsciously rubbed her body on Yasenia's, letting cute noises escape her throat. She was feeling heavenly right now. Yasenia heard them and smiled tenderly, "You are such a cute fox~."

Angel was sitting beside them, looking at their interaction with blushing cheeks. She found them adorable. "Kali, can I pet you?"

Kali made an affirmative sound, and Angel began petting Kali.

Sarah was seated in front of them, feeling slightly awkward. 'Seeing the person you like being so affectionate with other people is... Hard.'

[Host. Don't surrender. You just have to imagine being in the same position that the fox-woman currently is.]

'Even if you are trying to cheer me up, with your emotionless voice is truly hard to feel a positive feeling.'

[Host. You can't complain about how others are made. I didn't choose this setting.]

'Who did?'

[Host. This is just naturally how we, systems, are built. Having emotions would make us deviate from our purpose. The only thing I had before awakening inside of you was preinstalled knowledge about the world given to me from the world itself. My independent thinking process was booted when I was within Host.]

'Interesting.'

Sarah's wandering thoughts stopped when she heard Yasenia speaking. Of course, Yasenia didn't stop her caresses, which had now spread to even Angel, as she asked, "Do you girls want to go shopping? We've already been two days here."

Kali's fox ears straightened as she looked up from Yasenia's embrace. "Let's go buy the pill recipes!"

Angel also grabbed Yasenia's arm and said, "I want to buy formation books!"

Yasenia patted her two dears and nodded, "Let's go then. If you need points, just ask me. Sarah, are you coming?"

Sarah looked at Yasenia strangely and said, "If I don't go with you, where should I go? Am I a bother?"

Yasenia stood up, separating from her two clingy cuties, and approached Sarah. Under her surprised eyes, Yasenia gave Sarah a surprise kiss on the forehead. Then, she said to the stunned woman, "You aren't. I just wanted to confirm. This secret realm is so big that you may have wanted to explore it on your own. Let's go."

Sarah touched her warm forehead, and a deep blush spread on her cheeks, 'J-Just a kiss on my forehead, and I'm already like this....'

Yasenia was thinking, 'I hope these small acts of affection make her less feel awkward. Although I do not trust her, I don't want her to become an enemy. Moreover, little shows of affection like this won't hurt me in any way. But I have to find a chance to separate on good terms with her. Leaving her naivety to the side, she has a good personality, and we could even become friends. But as long as she keeps lying to me about important matters, like the thing inside of her, I will never be able to trust her.'Thanks to the new P.a.t.r.e.o.n, Evan Keleti!
