Chapter 964: Children Buy Pastries!

Chapter 964: Children Buy Pastries!

Dawn, who was growing into a tall and slender beautiful woman, commented as their group walked down the mountain. "I can't believe that they let us go!"

The children were going out together for the first time to explore the sect. While they've been out before, it has been very occasional. Most of their childhood was spent in the mansion at the top of the Sect, training, learning, and spending time with their mothers.

Kaleina took the lead in their expedition. She looked at Dawn and grinned. "Perhaps it is because I am with you, little girls."

Aurelia spoke with a faint and formal smile. "Big Sister Kaleina and Big Sister Flame are here, and our maids are also here."

Kaleina couldn't help but feel amused. 'Little Sister Aurelia is nothing like Mama Angel. So calm and collected, hahaha. If I didn't know that Mama Angel was the mother, sometimes I would wonder if she was just Little Aurelia's sister.' Kaleina smirked. 'Little Aurelia is also 11... I can imagine the future already.'

Skye spoke loudly. "By the way, where are we going?"

Flame blinked and looked at the six young children. "You haven't planned it?"

The six of them shook their heads. Katarina spoke, her voice much more understandable than many years ago. It even had a softer female tone. "We just want to see the sect, so there is no objective."

Dianna was jumping around and looking at everything without stopping for a second. "Big sis! Big sis! Big Sis! Big sis!"

Kaleina laughed and asked. "What's wrong, Little Sister Dianna?"

Dianna ran around, her six wings and three tails bobbing around. "Do you think that we can find bad guys? What about good guys? I want to beat someone! I have become very strong!"

Kaleina clicked her tongue. "Strong? That's not a word that should be coming out from us, Little Sister. Only when you can beat Mommy or Mama will you call yourself strong!"

Dianna complained. "Eh...!? But that won't happen ever! Mommy is super duper, hyper, ultra, and mega strong, right? And, and, mama Kali can snap her fingers and make Aunty Valeria appear! How can I win!? I can't win! I can't win!"

Kaleina extended her hand, coating it with a very faint layer of Void Attribute to suction Dianna's head and stop the hyperactive fox dragon. "Hey, if you run around, you can get hurt. Stay close so that your maids don't need to get dizzy, okay?"

Dianna giggled. "My maids like playing tag with me! They won't get dizzy!"

Dianna's maids were walking behind, and they felt their lips twitching. While they loved their Little Miss with all their hearts, sometimes she was too much to handle. Of course, not in the sense that they couldn't catch her, but more in the sense that they couldn't make her stay in the same place for more than a few seconds.

After more than ten years of training, all of them had entered the Unification Realm and the equivalent Ethereal Soul Body Realm.

Unlike Yasenia's maids, who had focused on first reaching the peak in the Spiritual Path before starting the body path, the new maids practiced both paths and built them up together.

To begin with, to be hired as maids, they needed to be highly talented with great potential. So, the fact that all of them could learn both was not a surprise in the slightest. It was like being surprised that talented alchemists had shown up at a famous alchemist gathering.

Regardless, Kaleina spoke, placing her finger on her chin. "Well... Since none of you know where to go... How about we just explore at random? If any of you want to visit a shop, enter a building, or approach a roadstall, just ask."

The six of them answered at once. "Okay, Big Sister!"

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the children and maids crossed a massive gate that Yasenia and the rest built and finally entered the Core Elder resident area.

The sect was divided into ranks because hierarchy was essential for a working sect. The Sect Master Peak, so to speak, was at the deepest part of the Sect, while the highest-ranking elders lived in the nearby area.

Then, the Core Elders who trained the most talented Core Disciples lived right after the big shots of the Sect.

The madam pouted, but she eventually gave the actual price. "It is one mid-level Parus, Little Miss." The madam explained the price. "The ingredients used are Earth Ranked, making it a delicious pastry that will give you a small temporary energy boost!"

Estrella tilted her head. "Temporary? Mommy's food gives permanent enhancements, though..."

That madam blinked as if her eyelids were having an epilepsy episode. "U-Um... Permanent? Like, they last a lot of months or something?"

Estrella shook her head. "Madam, the word permanent means forever!" Estrella explained. "Like, for all the time!"

The madam opened and closed her mouth like a fish out of the water, unable to answer for a long time. "...Oh. T-That's impressive."

Kaleina giggled behind them. "Madam. Our Mother is considered the second-best Spiritual Cook in the World. You shouldn't be surprised."

The madam asked back, baffled. "Who's the first?"

Estrella grinned. "Mama!"

'Mama?' The madam frowned and realized. 'If Mommy is Lady Yasenia... Mama is one of Lady Yasenia's wives?'

Looking closely at Estrella, the madam saw the blue eye and remembered Cecile and Angel. "Hm... Is your mama Lady Cecile or Lady Angel?"

Estrella tilted her head. "My Mama is Mama Tatyana! Also, here! One middle-level Parus!"

The madam's back instantly became covered in cold sweat as she accepted the money and took out the sword-shaped pastry. "I-I see. L-Lady Death Empress is a gorgeous and very powerful woman."

Katarina's voice liberated the madam from the difficult situation she thought she was in. "I want this one!"

"Right away, darling!" Then, she moved away and helped the rest of the children choose a pastry they liked.

Skye asked as she munched on a little pie. "Little Sis Aurelia, why didn't you get one?"

Aurelia spoke calmly and with a smile. "Too expensive."

The children blinked and looked at her. Dawn asked. "Really?"

Aurelia nodded. "One middle-level Parus is a lot compared to what we were given. We only have 100 middle-level Parus."

Dianna blinked and asked. "But, Big Sister. We have 99 more! We can buy 99 more pastries!"

Aurelia smiled. "Yes. But what if you find something that costs 100 middle-level Parus? You won't be able to buy it now."

Dawn and the rest got thoughtful, and they started discussing things together.

Meanwhile, Kaleina and Flame smiled behind them. They still clearly remembered the day they were in that coastal city, where they learned how rich Yasenia was. Kaleina sighed. 'Thankfully, Mommy teaches us economics, so it is easier to learn how to spend money.'

Walking down the street, the little ones observed with eager eyes. But nothing really called their attention. Soon, they were out of the Core Elder part of the sect and entered the Core Sect area, where disciples and other relatively high-ranking people lived.
