Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 402: First face to face with the Elders. Yasenia's unstoppable momentum.

Once they crossed the gates, they arrived at a finely decorated frontal garden. It was large and spacious, giving off a luxurious vibe.

The dragon woman leading them was trying her very best to look calm. However, from the instant she saw Yasenia, her pheromones were about to go crazy. 'W-Who is this beautiful lady? I-I want to revere and give my body to her! She smells so nice, and her draconic aura is so strong~.'

Yasenia didn't realize the strangeness of the draconic beast human maid and asked softly. "Excuse me, I want to make sure, but you are guiding us toward the Elders of the Nine Sects accommodating in this city, right?"

The maid's scaly and pointed ears became hot. "Y-Yes, miss. I'm guiding you to our elders. Also.. um, don't worry too much. They weren't in a bad mood before, so I don't expect them to be harsh."

Yasenia lifted her eyebrow. 'Doesn't this maid know that letting me know that is like giving me the initiative for our discussion?'

However, after she saw that the calmly walking woman was throwing bashful side glances at her, Yasenia understood. Not only Yasenia but the others also realized and tsked their tongues.

Cecile muttered. "Seductress."

Yasenia's eyebrow twitched. 'I haven't done anything!'

Tatyana snorted. 'How about dressing more properly?'

Yasenia was speechless. 'Put your hand on your bare chest and ask your heart if your clothes are much better than mine!'

Andrea commented. 'But Tatyana gives an elegant and majestic aura. You don't lose to her, but your dress invites people to do sins!'

Yasenia secretly snorted. 'It is not my fault that my figure is naturally seductive.'

"Miss, we are here."

Yasenia and the others stopped their discussion and became serious again.

After the main door to the large mansion opened, a luxurious and densely decorated hall welcomed them.

There were stairs in the middle and five rooms. Hanging on the ceiling, intricate chandeliers reflected the light beautifully.

When Yasenia's gaze reached the top of the twenty stairs covered by a carpet, she saw five elders looking at them. Their physical auras were restrained, but they were clearly releasing pressure on them.

Yasenia internally scoffed. 'Is this their way of saying they are in a higher position than us? Well, you can dream if this little trick is enough to gain the upper hand.'

One of the male Elders asked with a majestic tone. "For what reason are the juniors gathering here?"

Yasenia smiled calmly and commented. "How about we go to a fitting room and talk about it? We don't know which eyes and ears are listening at the moment, after all."

The elder's eyes flashed with surprise. Not only was Yasenia disregarding seniority, but she was also telling them clearly that she didn't feel safe in the middle of their house!

This wasn't a loud slap, but it was like a figurative pat on the cheek.

Their eyes squinted for a second, and they decided to release their bloodline pressure on Yasenia.

Yasenia felt the wave of pressure rushing toward her and snorted. "Since you want to play that game, don't blame me for being rude. [Empyrean Dragon Authority]."

*BOOM!*

The world around Yasenia darkened as her aura invaded the whole room like an unstoppable tide.

The maids and other workers at the side felt like someone had clutched their throats and shackled their bodies.

The elders fared better just because their cultivation was higher than Yasenia. Even then, their expression had already changed from solemn to horrified. 'What kind of bloodline pressure is this!?'

Yasenia didn't use her bloodline for a long time, just one or two seconds. However, this small moment felt like one or two hours for everyone present.

After they felt the pressure dissipating, most took a deep breath, searching for air even if they weren't suffocating.

The mansion was huge, as expected. You had to walk through various luxurious paths to reach the Hall for guests. Only now, Yasenia understood why this city was so massive. Even if there were just ten families with houses as big as this one, they would reach enormous sizes. It is like a country inside a city.

Tatyana seemed to know what Yasenia was thinking about and commented. 'It is easy to work with "Living materials]" and cities are created fast.'

Yasenia asked. 'Should we avoid this kind of material for our future houses?'

Tatyana shrugged. 'I don't care, really. The attacking and defensive qualities of these materials can be increased via formations. Together they can create mighty fortresses. However, they have a fatal flaw. The meaning of living materials is quite literal, so if the semi-sentient creature dies for whatever reason, everything under its influence will die, rot, and crumble.

Yasenia nodded in understanding and put aside these thoughts.

As they walked down the long hallways, Yasenia and the others realized most butlers and maids working were humans.

However, their strength was meager. The strongest they saw couldn't compare to a level one Body Modification Realm expert.

Yasenia didn't hold back and commented. "This is quite interesting. I thought we managed to exterminate most humans. How so there are so many in your house, senior? My clan usually uses contracts to hire maids."

The woman from the music sect answered calmly. "Our sects have breeders, so getting human slaves is very easy. Moreover, humans work nicely as slaves. They are agile, intelligent, and dexterous while doing housework. Why should we not take advantage of and use them?"

Yasenia blinked. 'Slavery here is much worse than in the Sky Continent.'

The bear-kin laughed and said. "Moreover, our juniors can have some fun with them occasionally."

Yasenia didn't flinch and nodded. "I see. Are you not worried that a talented one would appear and reverse the Hard work our hero did in the past to return sovereignty to our beast-human race?"

The alchemy elder chuckled with a hint of mockery. "Junior, you are too young. I will give you some knowledge. Humans have a tough time cultivating the body. Our cultivation speed is tens of times faster than theirs."

Yasenia wasn't reconciled. "Then I ask, what if a genius that can use body cultivation appears?"

The sword sect elder answered. "Can he compare to the geniuses of our race? I don't think so."

Yasenia internally sneered. However, she was not obvious and chuckled calmly. "The humans also thought like so, and look what happened. It only takes one invincible human to appear to reverse all we have."

One of the old men shook his head. "It won't happen. Not to mention we don't allow them to cross the first realm. The chances of that happening are zero."

Yasenia shook her head. She communicated with the others. 'It seems that beast humans have become complacent. I wouldn't be surprised if a force is already gathering up humans to make a counterattack. We should be careful around them. Andrea, Angel, Evelyn, Tatyana, especially you four.'

Tatyana snorted, 'That's why I never side with one race. At the core, we are all similar. The only different ones are pure beasts. Even when they have the eventual rotting fruit. Most of them are trustful and honest.'

Yasenia was amused, 'Is that why you decided to gestate me as a beast? However, I feel that I'm quite deceitful.'

The others internally nodded. 'Yasenia can trick a person into selling themselves and count the money they cost for her.'

Tatyana said calmly. 'Well, you were raised by me. I won't allow my dearest to suffer because your sense of judgment and trust is like a beast.'

Yasenia laughed softly. 'Even mom has a bias toward one race. I thought you would support the Undead, you know, being closer in age and such.'

Tatyana stealthily used her energy to slap Yasenia's full butt. Yasenia almost yelped as her soft curves bounced temptingly.

One of the old men turned and asked, "Anything wrong?"

Yasenia shook her head calmly. "I was impressed by that decoration. I couldn't help but softly exclaim."

The other elderly woman spoke for the first time. "You have a good eye. That decoration is from...."

Yasenia listened as Tatyana's voice sounded in her head.

'Don't tease your mother, little treasure. If you do, I will make you lose face before these old people!'

Yasenia wanted to say that Tatyana was probably older than their whole recorded History. However, she kept it in because she didn't want to be publicly spanked.

The others didn't say anything, but their lips twitched, holding their laughter as hard as they could.
