Chapter 854: Three Months. A Conversation Between The Girls.

When Angel opened her big, soft blue eyes, three months had gone by. It was neither a long nor short timeframe for someone at her level.

In the meantime, Yasenia was now sure that all her dears were in the next realm, so she went into closed-door cultivation for the first time in a long while.

Angel, who just awakened, asked Kali after she arrived at their house's living room. "Where is Yasenia?"

Kali smiled and patted the free space by her side, inviting Angel to sit down. Angel complied and listened to Kali. "Yasenia went into closed-door cultivation around one month ago."

Kali used her two right tails to surround Angel in fluff as she felt her mood dropping. "How are you feeling, Angel?"

Angel hugged one of the thick, furry tails and buried her face in the clean, pleasant-smelling tail. It had an earthly scent with a hint of recently cut grass, filling each of her breaths with a relaxing aroma.

Angel answered with a smile while looking sideways. "I'm feeling great. My entire body is so full of energy, hahaha."

Kali nodded as she continued with what she was doing. "I'm feeling the same, hahaha."

Angel looked at Kali's hands and saw a plant-like thing that was slowly being molded by Kali's hands. "What are you doing?"

Kali's fingers moved through the plant creature with slow movements and spoke. "Hm... I'm trying to create a new life."

Angel blinked repeatedly. "Huh?"

Kali laughed as she continued her movements on the palm-sized creature. "I'm trying to create a new type of plant creature with a conscience to help me tend my garden."

Kali smiled faintly as she looked at the creature between her hands. "Sadly, it is too difficult to do that. While I can create it as a summon, that consumes my energy, and I have to order it around. This one between my hands was created with the help of my innate skills. My fourth tail gave me the power to modify the life I create and steer them toward certain paths."

Kali sighed, her energy gently flowing into the creature while Angel looked on with wonder. "However, even if the body is perfect, the organs work as intended, and the genetic code and bodily functions could properly support it, it doesn't come to life."

Angel was utterly clueless about this, so she asked with her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Why?"

Kali spoke slowly. "It can't gain a soul."

Angel tilted her head as she looked at the palm-sized creature that Kali kept very lightly modifying. "Why?"

With a sigh, Kali shook her head. "I don't know, and Valeria won't tell me."

Angel laughed, feeling a sense of comradeship. After all, many times, she just wished that Mirrory would tell her the answer to her problems. However, she knew that the seniors were always looking toward the future with their slightly annoying secrecy.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

Angel continued looking for a while, not knowing what Kali was doing but finding the situation pleasant and relaxing. Even if she didn't understand, she could appreciate that Kali was working seriously and slowly.

Evelyn, Cecile, and Andrea returned around two hours later, their breaths slightly ragged from all the combat practice between each other.

When they arrived, they saw Angel and smiled. Andrea asked. "You are back. How are you feeling, Angel?"

Angel moved her gaze from Kali's handwork and smiled brightly at them. "Super nice~. What about all of you? Were you sparring?"

Evelyn plopped her butt by her side and nodded. "That's right. I personally have developed new skills from my inheritance, so I was testing them. To be honest, they are strong. The rest of the inheritance skills have also become stronger with it."

Andrea nodded and snorted. "You are really annoying to deal with now. What's that speed? It's ridiculous."

Evelyn rolled her eyes. "Here talks miss 'I won't receive a wound even if a meteor falls on top of me.'"

Andrea pointed at Cecile. "That's the word. Desperate."

Angel was confused. "Why would she feel like that?"

With a shrug, the heroic woman gave her opinion. "I think that at that time, Yasenia instinctively knew that she was in great danger. The awakening of her instincts probably made her realize what it entailed to be her and that her future wasn't guaranteed."

Kali muttered. "Well, Yasenia is always carrying a big burden on her, after all. If I had those kinds of Heavenly Tribulation always waiting for me, I would honestly crumble under pressure."

Evelyn agreed. "It's as if she is facing Death and not a trial. Having the all-mighty and all-encompassing Heaven targeting you must not be a good feeling."

Cecile added. "Not to mention, those two dragons further strengthened her previous tribulations. This time, it might not be any different."

Angel frowned. "Will they interfere this time as well? Are we sure that they want the best for Yasenia? Or do they have ulterior motives?"

Evelyn analyzed sharply. "They must have them. Do you remember the conversation between Yasenia and them during her Secret Realm tribulation?"

The girls thought back to when they wanted to stop Yasenia from gaining Celestial Energy, and frowns appeared in their expressions.

Evelyn nodded. "That's right. Why would they stop their inheritor from becoming stronger? Any person trying to pass down their inheritance honestly would become happier the stronger their inheritor becomes. After all, said inheritor will be able to spread their teachings all around the world, immortalizing them in another way."

Evelyn smirked and spoke. "Can you image a sect called [Luminous Spear Sect]? Or one that carries one of your characteristic skills as their name? It would be a sight to behold seeing elders and students threading your path and seriously studying it while you are their founder."

The girls agreed with that. Even for them, who were young, it was an exciting feeling. What more for a dead person who is just trying to find a proper successor?

Even if the school were small, as long as it could last for a long time, many seniors would feel happy to have left a mark in the everchanging cultivation world.

Andrea crossed her arms under her chest. "I see where you are going. Their attempt to stop Yasenia at that time is really suspicious. However, what if they were worried that Yasenia couldn't absorb it?"

Evelyn shrugged. "It is possible. However, their faces when Yasenia managed to make Celestial Energy hers weren't too happy."

Andrea nodded. "That's true, I guess."

Kali said. "Girls, I think we need to pamper her a bit more." The girls listened, and Kali stopped modifying the plant creature while speaking.

"To be honest, I just feel so blissful when I'm around her that everything feels livelier, more entertaining, much more alive." Kali looked at them and said slowly. "It is true that she is the 'Harem Head' and that she should be the most responsible one. However, I think that while we are getting better at sharing her responsibilities and worries, we still fail to make her feel secure around us."

Cecile asked. "In what way?"

Kali gave her opinion. "Yasenia has this desire to protect us all the time. Even if she allows us to do our things and lead our groups, she always places herself as the first line of defense in unsure situations. We need to change that."

Evelyn saw the logic and asked. "What do you suggest?"

Kali pondered and commented. "I think we should increase our coordination between each other. During these months that Yasenia will be gone, we should place our professions aside and focus on combat training. Do it together and increase our coordination enough to leave Yasenia helpless if she faces us all."

Andrea crossed her long and perfectly muscular legs. "Do you really think that she can face us as we are right now?"

Kali looked at Andrea. "If we ignore Angel, whose strength has increased the most with this tribulation, if Yasenia fights against you, Cecile, Evelyn, and me, she wouldn't win. However, I'm sure that in a duel to the death, she can bring at least two or three of us with her."

Kali looked at Andrea's pondering expression and gave them time to think about it and absorb the information she just dropped.
