Chapter 562: Reversal.

After Yasenia unleashed every aura to hit Tengliu in close proximity, the harpy Matriarch naturally recoiled.

No matter how strong, Yasenia's bloodline was peak-level Ancient Ranked, while Tengliu's was a mid-level Divine Rank. More than an entire realm apart, it was, ironically, the reverse of their cultivation realms.

This bloodline aura enhanced by Yasenia's Dragon Authority, Monarch Intent, and the hint of Celestial Energy worked in synchrony was brutally heavy.

However, Tengliu flared a part of her cultivation aura in a burst that dissipated most of it, gaining a strange balance between them aura-wise. "Oh? Are you that angry that I messed with you? Heh, you are still a bit childlike."

Yasenia sneered. "I'm willing to be childlike if that means protecting those close to me."

Tengliu lifted her eyebrow. "But you can't do so with the small strength you have. Did you think I wouldn't realize you've avoided using your cultivation base?"

Yasenia didn't react to her words. This was within her expectation since the beginning. Fooling this woman was not something she could do right now.

"Even my cultivation base was that of a mortal. You should understand one thing."

Yasenia squinted and didn't lose eye contact. "The fact that I can create enough aura to at least give you enough pressure for you to need to fight back tells you where my future is at."

Tengliu laughed. "That's right. You are an unprecedented genius that might even compare to Hero Distancia. But, so what? You are still a budding little flower that has yet to bloom beautifully. How many of those flowers get trampled over older, uglier trees because the size is just too different?"

Tengliu sighed and leaned forward again without any fear, landing on Yasenia's body.

Yasenia's hand holding the talisman tensed.

Tengliu smirked. "You are afraid of using that thing."

Although avoiding making a reaction was possible, denying this fact was almost impossible. Hence, she didn't. "You are right. If I use this thing, I don't know how many millions of creatures I will kill. However, although I'm afraid, although I don't want to use it, I won't allow others to step on me. I rather live in guilt than live in humiliation."

The white-feathered harpy sighed. "You are no fun, Yasenia. Hasn't Ghana spoken to you about me in detail?"

Yasenia leaned back to make a bit more distance, but it was almost of no use as Tengliu's breasts, waist, and feathers were still touching her body.

Yasenia uttered coldly. "She has told me good things about you. Not that you like to force yourself on people."

Tengliu sighed. "As expected of my too-serious Ghana. Her ability to omit a few details that she dislikes about me is as good as ever, hahaha."

Ghana stayed silent and didn't interrupt. Both sides were people she respected. Therefore, she decided not to participate and extricate herself from the conflict.

She would speak up if she could help, but she wouldn't take sides if she couldn't. And right then, she couldn't help.

Tengliu smirked after seeing that Ghana stayed silent. "Say, Yasenia. Can you stop putting forth that cold facade? You are not calm. You are hiding behind a hard mask even though you are nervous and don't know how to deal with me without hurting yourself as much as you would me~. How about stopping using your unfun, emotionless face and showing me the previous beautiful and smiling one?"

Yasenia continued their conversation. "What do you want, Tengliu? I don't believe you came down here to this forsaken city to speak about nonsense. You didn't approach me out of curiosity. I haven't seen any other leader coming to this auction event from a second-rated power like the Brilliant Auction House."

Tengliu pouted and leaned back, resting her behind on Yasenia's lap again. "Well, I wanted to see you."

Yasenia blinked, incredulous. "See me? You are telling me the leader of the tenth most powerful clan came down to this forsaken place to see someone who is almost not considered a second-rate power?"

*Bang!*

The Harpy Matriarch's brain was unable to react. It was like watching a regular ant suddenly lift an elephant and throw it around. People would look with incredulity without responding for a short while.

Yasenia didn't lose a moment to properly constrict Tengliu with her very long tail and immobilize her before she snapped out of her daze.

Yasenia sighed and passed her hand through her hair, finally relaxing her tensed nerves. "This was truly dangerous. It seems that I still have to learn a few things to survive alone."

Tatyana smirked. "You did really good, Yasenia. If I allowed the conversation to go on, you probably would've escaped after being kissed a few times by her."

Yasenia's eyebrow twitched. 'That's not reassuring at all.'

Tengliu was still incredulous and looked at the tail coiling around her. She used her entire strength and began pushing against it to liberate herself. However, to her confusion, the tail only moved a bit, and she was unable to escape.

Yasenia was stunned when she had to put some effort into holding her back. 'She is still this strong after being suppressed more than ninety-nine percent of her strength? This is ridiculous. How strong is a body cultivator's body at her level?'

Tengliu's unbelieving stare moved and landed on Yasenia. "What happened? Why can't I escape from someone as weak as you?"

Ghana was also surprised and instantly became nervous. "Yasenia, what do you want to do? If you hurt her, you'll end up in big trouble! Let's talk things out."

Yasenia rolled her eyes and moved her tail to sit Tengliu on her left side on the sofa. "Do I look reckless and brainless? Thinking about killing her would not only be immature, it would be an idea stupid enough for Mom to slap my face across."

During this whole encounter, Carbira was at the side, almost hiding in the pink shell on her back and trying to make her presence the smallest possible. Even her protruding black eyes were retracted a bit, moving nervously between the other five people.

While speaking, Yasenia felt someone sitting on her right side and hugging her closely. "Oh, sweetheart. You've suffered. I'm sorry for being so weak."

Cecile shook her head and slowly unleashed her scent to eliminate Tengliu's one. She even used her large phoenix wings to envelop her dragoness in a cool, comforting cocoon.

Yasenia smiled softly and kissed her hair. "It's okay, sweetheart."

Finally, our dragoness looked at the calmly acting Tengliu and smirked with bad intentions. "What did you say previously? Oh, right. [Can you stop putting forth that calm facade? You are not calm. You are hiding behind a hard mask even though you are nervous and don't know how to deal with me without hurting yourself as much as you would me~. How about stopping using your unfun, emotionless face and showing me the previous beautiful and smiling one?]."

Tengliu's expression darkened, and she glared at Yasenia.

Yasenia lifted her eyebrow. "It must have been many years since you felt powerless before someone, right?" Yasenia waved the talisman before storing it again in her ring. "Also, no need to tell me about your life-saving treasures. Unlike me, who could take them out, you won't be able to use them."

"The [World Suppressing Formation] is made to contain Transcendence Realm cultivators to the point they can't even move. This one is the simplified, quickly made version made by Unification Realm strength, so it has nothing compared to the real deal. But, well, it's enough to suppress you to the point of powerlessness."

Tengliu tried to open her spatial ring either way, but she felt that it was impossible to connect with it no matter how she tried. Not only that, even using spiritual sense was impossible. 'She is not lying...'

Tengliu gritted her teeth. "Okay, you got me. I miscalculated."

Yasenia nodded. "Yes. You were on guard against everyone in the room but the human. Who would've thought I was not the most dangerous?"

Tatyana stepped forward and sat on Yasenia's lap.

Yasenia hugged her waist and commented. "Well, Tengliu. Let's talk."
