While they traveled, Yasenia and Andrea exchanged information on how they had done during the last few decades. Of course, they didn't rush. After all, they had all the time in the world from now on. What was the point of recounting everything in 10 minutes?
Yasenia heard how Andrea came into this world and what exactly happened after she was forcibly sucked up. "After you left that day, the sky shattered. It was quite a large commotion when you were forcefully brought up, to the point that we became somewhat worried." Andrea, holding Yasenia's soft and boneless little hand, sighed while recalling that day. "Angel and Cecile became quite restless. However, Tatyana reassured us using the Soul Bond treasure that can detect your condition across any distance."
Yasenia recalled that thing. She asked Tatyana, curious. "Is it still okay after the last few… happenings?"
Tatyana smiled wryly. "That thing is currently under repair. It should take less than three years for me to repair it."
Andrea blinked, confused and worried. "Why would it break?"
Yasenia squeezed Andrea's hand and smiled. "Don't worry, I will tell you slowly later. So, what happened next?"
Andrea trusted Yasenia, so she nodded and explained. "We didn't set off right away. First, we spent around… ten years with our children. Something like that. We helped them find a world with good cultivation limits, as they all had yet to reach the Sixth Realm. Also, Tatyana sent a few hidden bodyguards with each of them in case a Sixth Realm cultivator messed with them."
Andrea took out a softly glowing golden crystal and smiled at Yasenia. "Look, this is our Dawn's Life Crystal."
Feeling the familiar energy from her baby, Yasenia extended her hand and grabbed the crystal. She rubbed her face against it, and then she carefully placed the crystal between her ample bosom, wanting to feel her baby's aura close to her.
Seeing her actions, Andrea's eyes curved lightly, finding her adorable. Yasenia asked, curious. "Then… can we go get her?"
Andrea was about to nod when Tatyana spoke up. "You can't."
"Huh? Why not?"
Hearing Yasenia's surprised question, Tatyana explained. "They are in the Low Exalted Heavenly Layer. You can't go down there anymore."
Yasenia blinked and then recalled. "Right… I am already at the Fourth Level. That layer only accepts up to Third Level Transcendence Realm cultivators…"
Andrea choked a little. "You are at what realm, love?"
"Fourth!" Yasenia blinked innocently. She even smiled, wanting to show off to her Darling. "Even my Intent Domains have reached the fourth level!"
Andrea, who had just entered the third, suddenly felt as if she were a poor, untalented cultivator. After all, she had calculated that to break through another level, she would need at least sixty to eighty years.
If someone heard her, they would most likely slap her. After all, Andrea was a Level Three Sixth Realm cultivator with two Intent Domains at Level Three while being less than 200 years old!
Moreover, Andrea was practicing three cultivation paths. So, to say that Andrea was slow was an insult to even geniuses from the Blue Pearl World.
Most of her ability to advance quickly was due to Yasenia's constant "nourishment" during the years. Her blood, constitution, and even her talent had been refined with Yasenia's Dual Cultivation technique, making Andrea's foundation ridiculously sturdy. So, her bottlenecks were quite easy to break through.
However, Andrea didn't let this small sense of inferiority affect her. Her mentality had matured a whole lot during these last few decades. So, she smiled, her heart feeling genuine happiness, and praised her little dragoness. "You are so talented, love. You've probably suffered a lot to reach your level of strength. I am very proud of you."
That was the main reason why she didn't feel negative emotions. Yasenia might be talented. However, her efforts were comparable to those of someone without talent, even surpassing them.
Her dragoness was ruthless toward others. However, her most ruthless part was reserved for herself. Andrea very deeply understood that if Yasenia could get stronger by climbing a mountain of swords, she would not hesitate to journey through a mountain range of those.
This was what Andrea admired the most about her lover. Yasenia's results were efforts, upon efforts, piled up like an endless mountain that would crush any ordinary cultivator.
Hearing Andrea's praise, Yasenia's golden eyes lit up, and she hugged Andrea's arm between her boundless softness, her tail wagging speedily behind her. "Hehehe. I am also very proud of you! I can smell the scent of some quite powerful treasures on your body! You must've advanced your craft a whole lot!"
Andrea smiled, tapping Yasenia's nose. "You can really smell those things. Has your nose gotten sharper? Tell me, what rank is the best treasure you can smell?"
Yasenia, having gotten an excuse to sniff all around her Darling, was quick to latch onto her like a koala and sniff around her neck and breasts.
Looking back, the Guard Captain was stunned to see the previous empyrean dragon attached to Andrea like an octopus. He quickly looked ahead again, trying to, but unable to, erase that image.
"Hm… I can smell a… wow! I can smell a Six Star Supreme Ranked Treasure! That's as strong as the current Draheart!"
That was the rank of Draheart, who had gone through many upgrades during the last few years, thanks to the energies roaming in her Dantian. Dramel was even weaker, being a Four Star Supreme Ranked Treasure.
Andrea blinked, surprised. "Dramel has become that strong? I recall she was a Mid Level Transcendence Ranked treasure before."
Yasenia looked up proudly, her arms and legs still latched around Andrea. "I have fed my Draheart with excellent materials! Of course, she is stronger!"
Andrea chuckled, using her arms to hold up the bundle of softness latching onto her. Honestly, both Andrea and Yasenia could feel a certain hard part, but neither of them separated from the other.
Tatyana spoke with a smile. "Little Treasure, we are arriving. Are you sure you want that king to see you this way?"
Yasenia, who was getting quite heated, snapped out of her daze and reluctantly separated from her Darling's strong yet feminine body. Andrea didn't dare speak or breathe too much. Otherwise, the subconscious scent Yasenia left lingering on her body might trigger an unwanted accident.
Yasenia looked around the place, and Anna and Eve quickly retouched her makeup to make her look perfect. The process lasted for less than a second, while Leila also helped Andrea, secretly giving her a Heart Calming Pill.
Andrea profusely thanked her loyal Leila in her heart.
The Guard Captain spoke to Yasenia, showing no disrespect. "Madam Yasenia, we have arrived. I will guide Princess Tao to her lodging."
"No need." Yasenia, having recovered her indifferent look. Looked at the trembling and shifty woman with a touch of disdain. "Let her father see what she has become. I want to see how he will react."
Andrea looked at Yasenia, but she didn't interfere. She had already shown enough mercy to these people who wanted to forcefully marry her off. If Yasenia insisted on being heavy-handed, Andrea was neither naive nor thoughtless enough to step in front of her. After all, she knew deeply how things would've developed if the roles were reversed.
Andrea was gentle, but not stupid or soft.
The Guard Captain stiffened slightly, but he couldn't bring himself to retort. After all, Yasenia's intent was clear to him and all, as she was not hiding anything.
"U-Understood... my lady."
Yasenia stepped forward, and as he passed him, she spoke. "Do not worry. You've taken care of Andrea the best you could. So, even if something happens, I won't kill you."
The Guard Captain, while he appreciated it, was a loyal person. So, he smiled bitterly. "You say that, my lady. However, this humble captain must face you if you threaten the crown, for that is my duty."
Yasenia looked at the captain, a hint of respect in her eyes. However, that would not make her soft-hearted. Instead, she looked ahead and asked. "Name?"
The Guard Captain blinked and answered. "This one is named Fa Luo."
"Fa Luo… I've remembered it."
Then, she stepped forward with the rest of her entourage, her white, fur-edged kimono moving with her steps like elegant clouds, while her long black hair danced from side to side like a night curtain.
The guards at the entrance of the place were stunned by Yasenia's beauty. Yasenia even increased her charm energy a notch. So, as they walked, the guards escorting Princess Tao saw an incredibly bizarre situation.
All guards that saw them would want to speak and stop her, but then, their faces would flush as they stared in a daze at Yasenia.
One Royal Guard of high ranking, with the strength of a Fifth Level Transcendence Realm, managed to resist the initial effect, and spoke with a solemn look. "Senior. I don't know you you are, but…"
Yasenia looked over, and then, she smiled gently. "Silence."
The Royal Guard stopped speaking, his pupils dilating. Then, Yasenia approached him, her face returning to normal, and asked with a soft whisper. "Please, guide this lost woman to your king's throne room."
The voice that escaped Yasenia's mouth made absolutely all listeners feel a shiver of pleasure, softening their bones and breaking down their wills.
The Royal Guard quickly agreed, his mind dazed. "T-This way, my stunning lady."
Yasenia smiled gently once more as she passed him. "Thank you."
The Royal Guard blushed, and Yasenia passed by him leaving behind a lingering fragrance that he would rember for the rest of his life.
The Guard Captain, looking at every single event, felt his heart chill to the extreme. 'Thankfully, Madam Yasenia was merciful with me, and she didn't use her normal methods.'
He didn't doubt that he would've been enthralled like everyone else were Yasenia to will it.
Meanwhile, Andrea was feeling baffled. "Tatyana, what is happening?"
Tatyana chuckled. "Charm arts. Yasenia finally learned how to use and even enhance her beauty."
Andrea looked at Yasenia's seductive back, and she felt a strange shiver go down her back. 'It seems… I might be in trouble,'
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the throne room, and Yasenia used her energy to push the doors open as she walked forward.
The throne room was the typical emperor's throne room. Giant pillars, a massive jade and gold throne, and rows after rows of attendants, with many soldiers in gleaming golden armors guarding at the sides.
The grand majority of these soldiers were Half-Step Dantian Spiritualization Realm cultivators, with the captains being in the early levels of Transcendence. Of course, generals and the like, who were also present, had higher strength.
It was clear that King Tao was waiting for Yasenia, as he had probably been alerted by someone in the guard group following Yasenia.
To this, Yasenia didn't care. Instead, she looked at the man sitting on the throne and spoke with an indifferent tone. "You, who calls himself King Tao, have made a mistake. I am here to get compensation."
King Tao looked at Yasenia with interest and smiled faintly. "Interesting. You, whose beauty eclipses the Moon and the Sun, are quite an interesting woman. Let's talk."
