Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 628: The Harpies and Yasenia.

As Yasenia looked back on Ghana, she reached a point two days ago where she was talking to Aviana, one of the highest-level harpies who joined a year ago. She was the middle-level Epoch Core harpy.

Both of them were revising a case of a harpy breaking the rules and thinking about what punishment to give her.

Ghana sighed. "Thankfully, this doesn't happen often. She is the second offender coming from our race."

Aviana nodded. "Most of us are loyal to Lady Yasenia. I would be sad if the juniors destroyed the regained trust we worked hard to achieve."

Ghana nodded seriously. Then, Aviana asked. "Say, Ghana. When do you think Lady Yasenia will become as trustful of us again as before? From what I've heard from you and the other harpies, the first month was much different, right?"

The brown-feathered harpy frowned and sighed.

Aviana continued. "To be honest, Matriarch Tengliu asked me to become loyal to Yasenia and take her orders above her own, but I can feel that although Lady Yasenia has started to joke around with us, there are no signs of being like what you and the other juniors told me she was at first."

Yasenia lifted an eyebrow as she listened.

Meanwhile, Ghana paused her work and looked through the window, a bit melancholic. "Probably never. I could feel that the moment we betrayed her expectations and showed her that she was nothing before Matriarch Tengliu, Lady Yasenia instantly cut us off from becoming close..."

Aviana blinked. "But some juniors don't think like that anymore, right? I've heard that after all the help Yasenia has given them, a few have become completely loyal. Even you are starting to tilt the balance in her favor."

Ghana sighed. "But Yasenia doesn't think like that. And those who say that, can they say, from the bottom of their heart, that if Tengliu and Yasenia fight, they will stand by Yasenia's side without a doubt?"

Ghana looked at Aviana and asked. "Can you swing a sword against Tengliu, against all our sisters that would follow Tengliu? Would you stand aside and do nothing as Yasenia kills harpies in the Sect that don't obey her?"

The harpy opened her mouth and stopped, wryly smiling right after. "I honestly don't know. I would personally try to remedy their differences. But isn't that too much? I don't think there exists any person who can throw away their roots for another power, right? If they do so, doesn't that mean they can do the same to her in the future? That way of thinking is too close-minded."

Ghana shook her head. "It's not close-minded. The way she treats us today is excellent. Treasures, benefits, and even the way she acts are far better than any other power I've participated in."

Aviana couldn't deny that.

Ghana continued. "Has she ever forced someone to do labor? Has she forced someone out of a position unjustly? She is understanding and doesn't hold back benefits because of personal bias. The "close-minded" attitude you are talking about is her treating us with familiarity as if we are part of her close people. Being strict with your inner relationship circle is not close-minded, but a rather normal thing to do."

Aviana couldn't refute that. Would she allow a random person with loyalty elsewhere to walk in her house without limits? That was not the case.

Ghana chuckled. "Honestly, unless Yasenia becomes strong enough to assimilate our entire race, she will probably never put down her guard. Even then, only those she deems appropriate will become close to her."

The other harpy frowned. "But, isn't that too much? Although I admit her growth is fast, I think she underestimates us if she thinks she can swallow our race, no?"

Ghana looked at her and smirked. "Didn't you say that you would be her ally no matter what? Why the defensiveness toward her assimilating our race?"

The woman paused and pursued her mouth with an awkward look.

Ghana laughed. "That's right. As long as that resistance remains, don't think about Yasenia becoming close to us. She will remain as the leader of our sect but nothing more. Of course, she is a wonderful Sect Leader, in my opinion."

Aviana asked, curious. "What about you?"

Ghana pondered and thought seriously about it. "I would actually love it if she assimilated us. That means that she will be strong enough to protect us. Moreover, the amount of help she has given me is enough for me to place Tengliu and Yasenia at the same level right now. Even during the first month, I was somewhat reluctant to help Tengliu. Now, I even have an impulse to help Yasenia no matter what."

Aviana repeated and munched the words. "At the same level..."

Ghana nodded. "If they fought and the enmity is irreconcilable, I would ally with no one and follow whoever remains. But... I feel the scale slowly tilting in one direction."

Aviana pondered Ghana's words and shook her head.

Ghana laughed. "But do not worry. Their relationship is getting better with the years going by. Lady Tengliu is also making a great effort to mend the relationship, and Yasenia is receptive to it. So, unless something goes terribly wrong, there is really no danger of something like that occurring."

Aviana nodded. "That's for the best."

Their conversation ended there, and the rest was work talk.

Yasenia leaned back and looked through the window with a vacant gaze. "Am I that receptive to Tengliu's efforts?"

She thought about her actions during the last few years and had to agree with them.

She was honestly confused. 'Why? She tried to rape me. Isn't that like a profound offense that should make me extremely abhorrent of her?'

Yasenia thought of Tengliu and muttered. "After a few years, the hate has disappeared quite a lot. But when I think of doing nothing, there is an uncomfortable feeling in my heart..."

The dragoness struggled with the feeling because, although Tengliu's actions were something that would create irreconcilable enmity in the dragoness, nothing happened, and the escalation of conflict also had something to do with her threatening Tengliu's life.

When she took out Tatyana's life-saving treasure with her aura, Tengliu naturally reacted quickly, trying to control Yasenia further and make her stop.

And that was the reason why the confusion floated in her mind.

Yasenia sighed, feeling many conflicting feelings inside her. "How should I punish her for what she did without being excessive but with enough intent to make these feelings disappear?"

"You are so cute, my love."

The cheeks of the dragoness tainted in a rosy color, feeling a bit embarrassed at suddenly being called "cute."

She licked Kali's cheek and smiled. "You are also cute."

Kali laughed and rubbed her face with hers. "How can my dragoness be so adorable sometimes!"

Yasenia asked while her tail wagged. "So... What should I do?"

Kali smiled and pecked her. "Nothing."

Yasenia blinked. "Nothing?"

Kali nodded and kissed her nose with smiling eyes. "Nothing until you are strong enough to deliver the punishment yourself. Then, you will be able to evaluate it properly."

Yasenia thought about it and found it reasonable. "I like that."

The dragoness smiled and hugged Kali tightly. "Now, let's leave unimportant things aside and do something more fun~."

Kali felt a large, hot, rising object touching her navel, and two red clouds appeared. "You horny dragoness."

Yasenia's fingers sneaked into her underwear and touched Kali's slit, taking out her hand to show a transparent and slimy liquid.

Kali blushed, and Yasenia smiled seductively while licking her fingers. "Who is the horny one, honey~?"

Kali felt her womb throbbing as she knew what was about to come.

Author: Hehe, the next chapter will be fun~.

Evelyn: I can see Kali having trouble walking later, hahaha.

Yasenia: *Hugs Kali* Prepare yourself, honey.

Kali: *Blushing and hugging her back* Silly.

Author: Let's summon today's dear. I summon you!

Randomplant: I'm here!

Andrea: Hello!

Randomplant: So, seniors. I have this question. What effect does obtaining an inheritance from a Senior have on someone's destiny? Does the senior's karma affect them in any way?

Mirrory: Oh? That's a good question.

Tatyana: Will you answer it?

Mirrory: Sure.

Mirrory: First of all, child, the most important thing is the quality and level of the inheritance. For example, an inheritance from a God is not the same as an Inheritance from a Transcendent Level cultivator.

Randomplant: Uh-huh.

Mirrory: The stronger it is, the higher the "karma" it passes over. But unless the cultivators leave behind a strand of their soul, the effect will be minimal. However, there is an influence. Imagine entering a land of beasts, being a human, or being a human with the inheritance of an important beast there. There will naturally be different outcomes.

Randomplant: I see. There is no "forced" destiny. But more like an "outcome" of being the one with the inheritance.

Mirrory: There are, like with everything, exceptions. But usually, that's correct.

Randomplant: And what about the soul strand you spoke about?

Mirrory: That soul strand might say something like. "Now that you have my inheritance, please take care of this place or person." Then, those words will naturally affect the inheritor and modify their original destiny.

Mirrory: Also, getting an inheritance is not part of their "original" destiny. There must be a deviation in destiny for someone to land in an inheritance. In short, it is pure chance or luck.

Randomplant: I see.

Author: And that's all for today. Bye-bye, little lurkers!
