Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 708: Fearsome Doriel. Stepping Outside the Secret Realm.

Yasenia and her group flew through the sky, continuously advancing toward the secret realm entrance.

While traveling through the sky was faster, it was also more dangerous, as flying creatures would attack in groups.

Of course, that was from an ordinary cultivator's perspective.

This secret realm's low-level Epoch Core limit meant that beasts were not as strong, and Yasenia's, Cecile's, Ebirah's, Sierra's, and Kali's combined beast auras were enough not only to avoid but in case they met with a group, force that group of flying beasts to take a detour around them.

Evelyn smiled refreshingly. "Having a beast lover is such a good perk, hahaha. If we were all humans, we would need to kill our way through the sky instead, knowing how aggressive and territorial flying beasts usually are."

Andrea looked into the distance and added. "We are reaching the limits of the secret realm. What's our plan?"

Yasenia commented. "We'll wait until Alaia informs us that they are ready and the disciples arrive. Taking into account what we saw on the first day here, top-level people can't cross a certain boundary. We just need to wait beyond that boundary and then leave together."

Angel asked, tilting her head. "Won't the maids be easily discovered with their dress code?"

The dragoness chuckled. "It's not like those dresses are stuck to their bodies, no?"

Angel exclaimed and blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Oh! Right..."

After reaching the boundary, Yasenia and the girls stopped in a place with an open space and took out chairs and such to rest.

Without a second of delay, Angel climbed onto Yasenia's lap and planted her little butt while leaning backward to have her back squished by Yasenia's breasts.

Yasenia smiled and hugged her, placing her chin on the side of her head and giving her little kisses from time to time.

Then, Yasenia used the Sect's insignia to see if there were any people from her sect in the surroundings.

To Yasenia's surprise, she spotted two of them beyond the "safe" boundary, just in the secret realm.

After listening to Yasenia's words, Tatyana took out a formation pen and created a formation.

"[Land Observing Formation]."

Angel blinked twice, and then her eyes opened. "T-This formation! Wow~, as expected of Mommy Tatyana."

Evelyn knew very little of formations, so she asked. "What's wrong with it?"

Angel said, eyes filled with worship. "This is a peak-level Heaven-ranked formation that allows us to see anything in an area of 1.000. However, it is one of the most complicated mortal formations to create. Mommy Tatyana made it in just two seconds!"

Kali asked, curious. "How long would you take?"

Angel looked at the formation Tatyana was using and said. "With Mommy Tatyana's perfection level, I would need a month. But, if I made it with my own standards... About twelve hours should be enough."

Tatyana smiled. "Don't underestimate yourself, little Angel. You should be able to create it in five hours if you focus."

Angel smiled bashfully. "Really? Do you think so?"

Telling a formation master they could do it so much quicker was the same as telling an average person they looked much better than they thought, so Angel felt shy and happy.

Tatyana nodded. She gave an objective evaluation of it.

Angel made a silly laugh and hugged Yasenia to hide her reddish face. Yasenia laughed aloud, hugging Angel tightly and raining kisses on her cute, reddish face. "You are so cute, baby."

Tatyana finally controlled the formation to spot the two sect members.

Unlike what they expected, they were seated in comfortable chairs, looking healthy and uninjured.

They were a man and a woman from a feline-related race.

The woman sighed, and the man asked. "What's wrong?"

The cat woman shook her head, her ears flat on her face as if she was feeling sadness. "I just... Do you think we did the correct thing?"

The man opened his mouth and then shut it. Finally, he said. "I mean, you can't really compare the powers. Even if I have confidence in her, she can't really face the current first-ranked powers."

The cat woman looked at him and muttered. "But, shouldn't we have avoided betraying Sect Master? We even lent them the communication devices."

The cat man shook his head. "As I said, she is doomed. It doesn't really matter. Moreover, if we hadn't cooperated, Qiao Mei Lan and Huang Tao might have done something terrible to us. Couldn't you remember their murderous face when looking at us?"

The woman frowned and then leaned back on her chair and sighed. "Well, you are right. I just wish she didn't provoke so many people. She was too arrogant this time."

The man lifted an eyebrow. "What, you've finally stopped calling her Sect Master?

The cat woman nodded. "Regardless of the outcome, I doubt we will be able to go back to the sect."

The man agreed.

Meanwhile, our girls understood most of it, and they were angry.

Evelyn spat. "If you feed a house cat, they would at least be loyal. These two are worse than pet animals."

Doriel looked at them and shrugged. "Intelligent people usually realize sooner and die. They must be quite stupid."

The illogical words made our girls confused.

Mirrory and Valeria materialized and looked very interested.

Mirrory commented. "Such an interesting and unique killing technique. I didn't know that a mortal could use curses, assassination arts, death intent, and poisons so peculiarly."

Valeria's eyes also shone with interest. "Sublime skill. How old are you, child? Your future achievements are limitless if you are younger than 3,000 years old."

Doriel looked at Yasenia. She only followed orders from Yasenia and Tatyana, so she wouldn't answer unless Yasenia had permission.

Yasenia was about to nod, but feeling mischievous, she smiled. "No need to tell them your age~. Since the seniors like hiding things so much, this time, I will also do so~."

Mirrory and Valeria looked at Yasenia and chuckled, finding the act quite cute. "Fair enough."

Valeria explained. "What this junior... no, assassin master used is a curse of knowledge and imprinted it in their hearts and soul core. The second their brain realizes it, they will die unconditionally, regardless of their strength. Those with good soul sense will discover it quickly, but at this pace, those two won't discover it until they reach the Ethereal Soul Body Realm."

Valeria added. "Of course, it is not omnipotent. The effect will only trigger if the curse is planted successfully. However, once planted inside them, unless Doriel wants to, they won't be able to escape."

Mirrory looked at Dorial and then Yasenia. "Yasenia, you have quite a powerful assassin as a subordinate. Be careful with what you order her in the future. Once she steps into Transcendence Realm, she will become quite a frightening weapon."

The dragoness nodded. "I know how powerful the maids are. I've been educated since I was young on how to use their power properly." Then, she added with a smile as she hugged Doriel and kissed her on her cheek. "Also, they are not my weapons. They are my family."

Mirrory paused for a second and then smiled. "Right. My bad."

Doriel smiled and hugged Yasenia back. Then, she said with rare pride in her usually emotionless voice. "All of us witnessed those lessons to be sure that Young Miss was worthy of us. Even before she unlocked her cultivation, we were sure that following Young Miss was the correct decision. If not for Lady Tatyana's wish for Young Miss to develop by herself, we would've followed her into the RITA Academy right after her enrollment."

While they discussed things, Yasenia felt a few presences approaching. 'They are finally here. Well, it's time for the show. Let's see if you can stop me from leaving, Distancia's top powers.'

A few moments later, outside the boundary, many groups spotted Yasenia and the rest of Yasenia's Sect Members coming out of the forest.

The two "dead" people also looked over and sighed, feeling pity for their previous sect master.

Without any delay, many presences appeared around Yasenia, exerting enormous pressure on the dragoness.

Doriel's black eyes darkened even further, her killing intent about to explode. 'How dare they aim their auras at my Young Miss!?'

A slender and soft hand grabbed Doriel's, and her anger dissipated, returning to her indifferent face.

Yasenia smiled softly, and then she turned toward the top powerhouses of the continent with a relaxed expression. Yasenia had a Formation Core inscribed on her hand with a pressure-negating array, so she couldn't really feel a thing.

The dragoness smiled and spoke aloud, imitating the arrogant tone of those Young Masters she had faced in the past. "Such a luxurious welcome for returning alive from the Secret Realm. The Astral Sky Sect will remember this gesture! I will be generous and give you a five percent discount on our products for the next year."

Many of them almost had their almighty facade broken.

***************************************************

Yasenia: *Proudly smiling and wagging her tail.* Aren't my maids awesome? They are the best in the world!

Evelyn: Hahaha, you really love them.

Yasenia: Yes, I do!

Andrea: Also, love, those words almost made me burst into laughter. It would help if you gave us a hint next time, or I won't be able to hold back my laughter.

Evelyn: *Imitating Yasenia's arrogant tone* Did I say five percent discount? My bad, my bad. I meant you need to pay me five percent extra. Arrogant? Wrong, you should be grateful that this Young Miss is asking you for your money!

The girls: Hahahahaha.

Author: Pfft, let's invite today's dear. I summon you!

Randomplant: Hello, girls.

Kali: Hello. How have you recently been?

Randomplant: Good. I have a question for you, Yasenia.

Yasenia: Yes?

Randomplant: knowing the large number of heart demons that Tatyana possesses. Will you keep trying to get rid of them?

Yasenia: Absolutely. I won't cease my efforts. Why would I? I have an eternity before me to devote to her, to love her unconditionally and relentlessly until she can smile free of worries.

Tatyana: ...

Randomplant: That's... a beautiful answer. Thanks.

Yasenia: It's only natural.

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