Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 554: Misunderstanding.

While Yasenia spoke with Jorey, some people spotted Yasenia.

Not that it was difficult noticing the tall, gorgeous dragoness that lazily swayed her massive dragon tail behind her.

Even in a crowd of beast humans, Yasenia stood out without effort. Her revealing blue dress didn't help with giving a modest appearance, further increasing the gazes she stole while standing there.

The people sneaking glances at her looked on as a female dragon kin dressed in a very luxurious robe walked up to speak with Yasenia.

"Excuse me, are you the Matriarch of the Astral Sky Clan?"

Yasenia stopped speaking and turned to meet the person approaching.

The middle-aged woman's draconic characteristics made her feel familiar. 'Where have I seen this person?'

While thinking so, Yasenia smiled and nodded. "Good Morning, madam. I'm indeed the Matriarch. How can I help you?"

The woman's brows frowned, and she looked at her up and down. The gesture was not only rude, but her gaze was not friendly.

Yasenia was puzzled. 'When have I offended a dragonkin?'

Our dragoness didn't hold back her confusion and asked. "Madam, did I do something wrong? I don't think we've ever met before today."

The woman didn't bother answering and muttered. "So, he wasn't exaggerating."

Cecile's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. She really wanted to act out toward this person looking at her lover so blatantly. 'Although I don't mind the glances from the side, this is crossing my bottom line.'

Yasenia felt Cecile's irritation through the connection and tried to speak calmly one more time. Her tone was cutting, even when the words were still formal.

"Madam, who are you speaking about? Could you answer the reason for the looks I'm receiving? We are a new power, and I'm sure I have never offended or even talked to a dragon-kin."

The middle-aged woman had to lift her face to look at Yasenia's face, but her face was dignified, and the brown slit eyes were cold. "Sorry, I didn't present myself properly. I'm the wife of the dragon man you spoke to in the tournament."

Yasenia frowned for a second, and suddenly, someone flashed in her mind. 'The senior in the room where I purchased the fan girls?'

Yasenia became wary. Although she didn't really offend those people, her attitude back then couldn't be described as respectful.

"As a confirmation, but are you speaking about the dragon man close to the tiger-kin patriarch?"

The woman lifted her chin haughtily, leaking her aura and trying to pressure Yasenia.

'Oh? High-level Ethereal Soul Body Realm?'

"That's right. I wasn't interested in this auction event because I thought there would be nothing valuable. However, he told me that he met an interesting person who may take me by surprise."

The woman acted calmly, but Yasenia could feel a hidden animosity.

The quick mind of the dragoness thought of many scenarios, and she raised an imaginary eyebrow. 'Don't tell me... Is she so worried and jealous that she came all the way here?

With a calm facade, she laughed and answered. "That's a great compliment coming from a senior I respect. I thought he hated me since I never got to know his name. Let me introduce myself formally."

"Madam, I'm the Matriarch of the Astral Sky Clan. These two by my side are my Soulmate and my personal human slave. It is a pleasure to meet you, madam."

The woman blinked twice, and her eyes moved to Cecile as the slight hostility became doubt. "Soulmate?"

Yasenia nodded and hugged Cecile without shame, kissing her forehead once. "That's right. She is my destined soulmate. We managed to find each other and have been together since then. My love for her goes deeply, and I would never exchange her for anything in the world."

Yasenia showed an honest and loving smile. "I'm very glad I met her that fateful day, and we got to know each other."

The dragonkin was confused. "Wait, it doesn't make sense. A female is a female's soulmate? That is unheard of. You need to be able to create progeny together."

The people secretly listening were also doubtful. 'Is she trying to lie for some reason?'

Yasenia saw their doubts and looked into her sweetheart's icy blue eyes. "Cecile, my love, stop hiding our connection."

Cecile smiled softly, illuminating the previously dull surroundings with a single smile.

Cecile was always indifferent and expressionless, so although her peerless facial features made her look beautiful, people only felt admiration.

However, when she smiled, it was like seeing sunlight pierce the clouds and illuminate the world.

The surroundings became silent as only Cecile's smile remained.

Then, Yasenia and Cecile revealed the connection they always hid.

The spectators' eyes could only widen as their auras slowly leaked and meld together.

Usually, soulmates would look like two auras dancing closely, like two lovers holding hands.

However, Cecile's and Yasenia's connection was nothing like that.

Once it was made noticeable, the two auras rushed at each other as if they were long-lost lovers and tightly interlocked with each other.

As if two people were hugging together without leaving a single inch of their skin without touching together.

Their [Interlocked Souls] were so tightly bound together that people looking at it instinctually felt all the romantic feelings toward the two gorgeous women disappearing.

'I can't enter between those two.'

That was the general thought of everybody watching.

Hanna was stunned. 'We want to compete against this?'

She felt that they had been nothing but delusional. The love between Cecile and Yasenia was too strong to be messed with.

Even Tatyana raised her eyebrow. 'Since when did they become so tightly bound?'

Usually, this would mean trouble because if one died, the backlash the other person would receive would be monumental. 'However...'

Tatyana's red eyes flashed, and her powerful mind began thinking of many scenarios. Then, her lips arched. 'It can work.'

One person muttered. "On Distancia's name, what kind of connection is that? Their souls feel like they are merging with each other."

A soul connection between Ancient Beasts was something never seen before on the continent. Moreover, Yasenia was not an ordinary Ancient Beast, and neither was Cecile.

If you don't remember, Cecile has been absorbing the treasure she found in the middle of the True Phoenix Tear Lake in the last month. This item, [Void Soul Phoenix Tear], had been wholly absorbed a few days ago and increased Cecile's soul strength so much that it was on par with Yasenia's.

In short, they had souls equivalent to Dantian Spiritualization Cultivators. Compared to an average cultivator at their level, they were like a giant and clear lake before an ordinary pool.

Yasenia's origin as an Ancient Beast, her Progenitor Queen status, and her Draconic heritage increased the depth of their connection.

Then, Cecile's Moon Phoenix heritage, a legendary creature famous even in the higher realms, and absorbing the essence of a tear from a True Primordial Phoenix deepened it even more.

Yasenia: O-Oh.

Author: Done! I summon you!

WPOmega: Here I am!

Evelyn: Hello~.

WPOmega: Well, let's get with the question.

Kali: Whom do you want to answer?

WPOmega: Hm... How about between Tatyana, Mirrory, Valeria, and... Tian Long!

Author: Oh? Tian Long?

WPOmega: Yup.

Tatayna: Well, let me summon him.

Author: Oh~. Let's hear the chant!

*Massive amounts of death and fate energy swirls around the Death Empress*

Tatyana: You, King of Undead, King of Souls, King of Dragons.

Tatyana: You, who went against fate, and won, who went against the heavens and won...

Tatyana: You, who gave up life for the unlife, who was the first, but also the last.

Tatyana: You who ruled and lost everything, who ruled again and gained everything.

Tatyana: I call you, my eternal companion, my eternal partner!

Tatyana: [Sovereign of the Underworld: Abyssal Dragon, Progenitor King]

*The massive gathering of energy bursts the void open, and Tian Long crosses over.*

WPOmega: Well, fuck me. That's not a dragon but a giant mountain shaped like one.

Tian Long: Hm? Where are we, Tatyana?

Tatyana: Someone wanted to ask something, so I summoned you.

Tian Long: ...

Tatyana: What?

Tian Long: Are you bored? Why would you summon me to answer something... Well, except if it is from the little princess.

Yasenia: Hello, Uncle Long!

Tian Long: Oh! You've grown so much, little girl. You are looking more and more like a dragon.

Yasenia: Thanks!

WPOmega: Well, this is the question, Tian Long.

Tian Long: Ask away. I was bored anyway. I can't do anything until that lazy woman breaks through.

Tatyana: ...

WPOmega: Inspired by the adorable Kaleina herself. It's been said that Kaleina has a more serpentine physique that is visibly different from any other draconic form we've seen thus far. Is that difference significant, or is it purely aesthetic?

Tatyana: Hm. Yep, this question is best answered by you, Little Long.

Tian Long: Sure.

Tian Long: First of all, who is Kaleina?

Yasenia: Dear, say hello to Grampa Long!

Kaleina: Grampa Long!

Tian Long: ...

Tian Long: Who is this absolutely adorable creature!?

WPOmega: haha, that's the one I'm asking about.

Tian Long: Let me see...

Tian Long: As you've guessed, there is a difference.

WPOmega: Oh? Do tell.

Tian Long: More like a natural advantage is about potential. The most significant influence is, as a matter of course, what the parents practice. Do they focus on the body, or do they focus on Spiritual cultivation? Maybe they are experts with the soul.

Tian Long: Depending on that, a dragon has an affinity for one or the other.

Tian Long: Dragons with serpentine bodies instead of ones like me are usually more adept at energy manipulation. Their bodies are like a superconductor of energy. However, that doesn't mean they are weak physically.

Tian Long: However, the shape of dragons does not end in serpent-like or my form. Plenty of dragon types exist, and the body shape is often independent of the talents.

Tian Long: In short, since it is so unreliable, it's better always to be careful and check what kind of affinities they do have.

WPOmega: I see. Thanks a lot, Tian Long.

Tian Long: It doesn't matter. So... Is this all?

Author: Yep!

Tian Long: What are you?

Author: It doesn't matter, hahaha.

Author: With this, today's Celestial Theater ends! Bye-bye!

The girls: Goodbye!

WPOmega: See you later.
