Chapter 434: Getting to know the three hundred harpies.

Yasenia finished by saying. "I won't care about unrelated people leaving, and even if you want to leave later, I won't tie you down under certain conditions. However, once you snuggle below my wing and become part of my power, what I hate with my very soul is betrayal, and punishment for it will be beyond anything you can imagine. Therefore, take your time and think if you'll stay or not."

Yasenia then stopped speaking and silently looked at them.

The harpies looked at each other and got thoughtful. Yasenia's way of presenting was strange, to say the least.

Until now, whenever these experienced women entered a house, clan, or power, they would always hear their place was perfect, with pristine walls and deep connections.

Yet, Yasenia told them many negative things and some unbelievable statements. Although they were naturally attracted to Yasenia's appearance, none of the three hundred harpies present were stupid to be swayed by it.

Ghana chose them by hand, after all. Each of them had critical thinking ability and decision-making.

Yasenia didn't speak and looked around, waiting for the ones who wanted to leave and were unconvinced. Yasenia could have told them many of their advantages in more detail, and she was sure that they would follow her with loyalty.

However, for the first batch, she wanted people who liked to gamble yet had a sense of ambition while also thinking things through.

The dragoness threw various hints in her speech that would attract their attention, so if they didn't leave, it meant that they were either confident in her or Ghana's vision.

Either option was good.

After ten minutes of waiting, all of them stood in their place. Yasenia was satisfied and revealed the first honest smile. "All of you stayed. I didn't expect something like this."

One of the harpies shouted. "Matriarch, if we can see you daily, even dying is worth it!"

The harpies laughed, and another shouted. "That's right! If Matriarch sets a group bath session, we'll follow you even if you decide to fight the thirty-three clans!"

Yasenia raised her eyebrow and chuckled. "That suggestion, I'll think about it."

"Really?"

Yasenia nodded. "Once we get comfortable with each other, I don't mind sharing a bath."

"Woohoo!"

"Matriarch, you are the most beautiful!"

"Matriarch, you are the sexiest!"

Yasenia rolled her eyes and spoke. "Okay, enough ruckus. Let's get to serious work."

Yasenia stopped speaking and waited for the harpies to get silent.

Then, she continued calmly, her face regaining the previous seriousness. "Since all of you have decided to join me, we must divide you into groups and understand your strengths."

Yasenia pointed behind her and commented. "Those six women behind me are masters in each of their crafts. They are comparable to those in the top twenty of the Nine-sects. Not to mention, they may surpass even those people soon."

Exclamations were heard from the girls."

Yasenia said. "The professions they dominate are the following. Alchemy and everything related to medicine, spirit plant gardening, blacksmithing, formations, tailoring, and cooking."

Yasenia said. "Naturally, we'll need a powerful force to defend ourselves, so one of them is also an expert hunter with wide beast-related knowledge and high strength."

Yasenia saw many harpies frown, and she stated. "Those who don't fall into any of these categories, don't worry. We have books, jade slips, and other learning tools of every profession and an all-rounder with basic knowledge in most professions."

"You'll be more heavily punished if you messed something up and hide it than hastily reporting it and searching for ways to correct it. Confessing sins and mistakes will reduce the penalties within a reasonable limit. There won't be loopholes since the judges will be me and my direct subordinates. So don't try to be a smartass."

Yasenia looked at Tatyana and the others and said calmly. "Use the next three hours to get to know them. If you find any of them lacking, having a bad attitude, or being suspicious, send them to me. Also, write a comprehensive report of what you learned while noting their name, age, cultivation level, relationship status, and other important matters. Avoid the most private questions, but what it's needed to be known, it must be said. I trust you know how to do so."

They all nodded.

Yasenia smiled and moved with her group to the side, separating from the others.

Ebirah moved her little legs to Andrea's side while Sierra slowly walked toward Evelyn.

Yasenia turned around and took out a jade slip to note everything down.

Then, she looked at the first in line, an eighteen-year-old-looking girl. She had red feathers, a cute face, and a short and slender body.

Yasenia observed her starry eyes and pink cheeks, thinking this cute harpy was very eager.

Yasenia coughed and asked. "What is your specialty, name, age, cultivation Realm, cultivation level, and what do you want to work as."

The cute harpy smiled widely and spoke. "I'm a gem embedding expert. My name is Grata. Thirty-eight years old. Low-level Spiritual King. I want to work as a gem embedder and create powerful and cute accessories for my sisters and the Matriarch! Also..." The girl blushed and spoke. "I want to be the Matriarch's bed warmer!"

Yasenia didn't flinch and nodded. "Well, that last thing is impossible, but you can do the rest. Step to the left. Next."

The harpy blinked twice and pouted. However, she was obedient and moved aside.

Yasenia continued accepting, and the thirty-ninth harpy made Yasenia's eyes glint.

The next harpy was a voluptuous and very beautiful one. It looked as if her body was made of water because of the jiggling nature of it, and her watery dark eyes could intoxicate with one glance.

She was definitively one of the most beautiful people Yasenia had ever seen.

The woman smiled and spoke with a charming and tender voice. "I'm a sex worker. Seventy-nine years old. High-level Spirit King cultivator. My name is Gala. I want to keep my line of work."

Yasenia nodded without a change of face and commented. "Step to the left with the other harpies. Next."

Yasenia continued checking their professions and found out the following.

Half of them were sex workers—a total of twenty-five harpies.

Ten had exotic professions: five spirit cooks, a talisman master, a jewelry master, an architect focused on living materials, a gem embedder, and a gardener.

'Why is the gardener here? Didn't I tell them to go to Kali? Well, never mind.'

The other fifteen knew art, music, and other entertainment-related skills.

Yasenia had separated them into three groups. The first group was the craftsmen, the second group was the entertainers, and the third was the sex workers.

Yasenia saw the nervous faces of the sex workers and said softly. "Don't worry. You are not less valuable than any of the others. Let me deal with the others first, and I'll make a proposal to all of you."

They all sighed in relief and nodded, looking at Yasenia with new admiring eyes.

They could feel that she really didn't look down on them, so they were happy.

Yasenia smiled at them and walked toward the other two groups.
