Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 427: Kali and Yasenia in the alchemy room.

After leaving behind the other girls, Yasenia and Kali walked hand in hand toward the alchemy room on the third floor.

They had built all the Rooms for professions, and Tatyana helped set up some of the most complicated formations.

Kali squeezed the warm hand holding hers and looked at the woman walking by her side.

Yasenia turned her head and smiled, squeezing back. Their interactions were usually like this, gentle and soft gestures without many words.

The feeling was truly magical for the Fox Lady. No matter how many times they were intimate, it still didn't fail to make her heart beat a bit quicker.

She felt that, as long as a person was sincere and had their heart in place, they would not be looked down on by others. 'The past is the past. Looking forward is usually the way. However, forgetting the past is also not a good thing. I just have to accept everything and live happily.'

Yasenia asked while climbing the stairs toward the third floor. "Kali, are you happy?"

Kali nodded. "Yes. With you by my side, I always feel like the luckiest woman in the world."

Yasenia interlocked their fingers and used her tail to play with Kali's two fox tails softly. Her mellow and gentle voice reached Kali's ears again. "Remember that we are family, Kali. If you ever feel bad, you have to tell me. I will not be upset no matter what."

Kali opened the Alchemy room door and walked inside, raising her eyebrow and teasing Yasenia. "No matter what? My dragoness has a wide and forgiving heart. I'm impressed. Then, I should try other..."

Yasenia hugged her from behind and whispered in a low tone. "You should do what, honey?"

Kali's joking sentence got choked even before it left her mouth, and she said softly. "I should try to express myself more often with you."

Yasenia smiled and kissed her scarred cheek. "That's my girl."

Kali nodded with a blush and changed the subject. "What is your experience in alchemy, Yasenia?"

Yasenia rubbed her cheek with Kali's and answered. "My practical experience is negligible. Everything I've tried creating has never taken a pill shape, after all."

Yasenia then said. "However, expect a higher level of knowledge compared to when we worked together previously. During my time in the trial, I never stopped studying all the books in my ring. Therefore, my knowledge in all the professions, including alchemy, blacksmithing, tailoring, formations, and cooking, has increased significantly."

Then, Yasenia waved her hand toward one empty table and summoned five thick books. "Here. These are the ones I used to learn Alchemy. I still haven't learned them all, but I'm constantly advancing."

Kali looked at the five books that were half her height and a quarter of their height thick.

However, Kali wasn't surprised or impressed.

Books about alchemy, or any profession in that regard, weren't small. That's why books weren't used often.

The usual way to transmit or save information was via Jade Slips.

Jade slips were a material that could retain knowledge. It acted as a memory card and could be reused.

And although they appear convenient, if a cultivator wanted to use them to save a Cultivation Method, Alchemy recipe, or anything that needed a high grade of complexity, they had to have a deep understanding of what they were engraving in it.

That's why books were still used. They could hold information of any shape, not just complicated Cultivation Methods and such.

"Hmm, not bad. Let me see the titles." Kali walked out of Yasenia's arms and observed them.

Yasenia blinked and pouted after feeling her embrace empty.

Then, she walked forward slowly and hugged her fox again. "You've probably never read them. They were made by mom's experts for me, after all. I've been quite pampered in this regard."

Kali felt the soft body leaning on her again and smirked. Then, she asked. "How were you pampered?"

Yasenia kissed her lips once and spoke. "I want to be able to help you in the future. Therefore, your good enough should refer to a level where I can work as a useful, practical assistant for you."

Kali blinked, surprised.

Then, a smile spread on her lips. She leaned in Yasenia's embrace, and her two fox tails wagged happily. "You don't have to, Yasenia."

Yasenia wound her arms around her neck and smiled at her. "But I want to. I'll also be able to spend more time with you that way, honey. I really like staying around you."

Their tail intertwined, and Kali's lips arched, moving the scars on her face. However, Yasenia didn't mind and felt happy that her fox could smile without restraints in front of her.

Yasenia approached her face slowly and licked those scars softly. Kali squinted her verdant green eyes and almost purred in comfort.

Yasenia spoke between each lick.

"I like your scent."

"I like your taste."

"I like your presence."

"I like your aura and your soothing voice."

Yasenia looked at Kali and gave her a deep kiss. Kali sighed through her nose and responded tenderly, thinking to herself. 'I also like all that and everything else about you, Yasenia.'

Kali and Yasenia snuggled like that for a moment.

After the kiss, Kali said with her gentle and soothing voice. "Let's get back to work, my love."

Yasenia nodded and looked at her, waiting for Kali to explain and give her an evaluation of what requirements she would need to help. "Well, to be useful to me and not slow me down, you must comprehend completely the first three books."

Kali smiled and commented. "Right now, you are honestly a burden. If you try to help me, it will do more harm than good, and I think I speak on behalf of everyone. Your theoretical knowledge is near ours, but your practical work is null. Therefore, you must slowly improve yourself."

Yasenia nodded. She really liked Kali's frankness.

If she was not helpful, she wanted to hear about it. The last thing Yasenia wanted was to become a burden for her dears.

She also didn't expect any less than what Kali said.

Her dears were extraordinary in their specialized areas, and catching up to them was impossible. Her objective was not to overcome them but to at least be able to help them in a valuable manner.

In short, Yasenia wasn't discouraged but motivated. Knowing that you didn't know anything and working to learn was the beginning of everything, after all.

Kali patted Yasenia's shoulder. "Let's see you create some pills. I want to see how good my dragoness is in alchemy."

Yasenia laughed, and after Kali stood up, she followed toward the cauldron in the middle of the room.

Yasenia took out alchemy tools, not the prepared ones, and placed them on the wooden table.

There were many items like tubes, flasks, heaters, herb refiners, and many others.

Yasenia felt that she didn't forget anything and asked. "Which pill do you think I should begin making?"

Kali took out a recipe and passed it to her. "The [Metallic Bone Pill] is a good start. It is a middle-level magic-ranked pill with a complicated but easy-to-replicate process. Recreating it is methodical and easy once you create it successfully."

Kali smiled, and she said. "If we open a shop in the future, this can be one of the general public pills we can sell. If you can create this and similar ones that boost other aspects of a cultivator, you'll be very helpful."

Yasenia chuckled at the tease in her words. Then, she looked at the recipe and began to prepare the ingredients.
