With Tatyana's reassurance, Yasenia finally let go of all her lingering worries. She relaxed, dropping back onto the bed once more. Her naked body bounced with the fall, her curves and charm only enhanced by the curved stomach due to her pregnancy. The mix of female traits and the majestic dragon that was now only half-erect, resting on her soft thigh, made Tatyana feel her lust spike.
'What else is there even to say? I was going to have a deeper conversation about her foundation, but it is much more solid than I ever expected, thanks to her Palace and her refinement baths. Moreover, since she has reached Level 2 in an Intent Domain, that means that Yasenia understands the essence of the new power, so what's left is developing it further through her own understanding.'
Yasenia was incredibly unique, even compared to Cecile or the other girls who shared her four paths. The reason for that uniqueness was Yasenia's ability to assimilate treasures as her core parts of the body. Being relatively weak compared to those treasures, they were able to mix into Yasenia's complex internal meridian and dantian systems.
Locking the treasures in those positions before she even became an immortal allowed those treasures to experience and merge with Yasenia during her transcendence to immortality. That's why, even when Tatyana had some unique treasures on herself, she was unable to guide Yasenia and point her in any one direction.
The most she or any other teacher could do for Yasenia was to ensure she didn't stray from her unique path of cultivation, spotting mistakes and correcting them. Telling her how she should cultivate was very different from being there to correct errors.
As long as one gained enough experience, one could know nothing about how to draw, but still know by sight when something feels odd in a painting.
Tatyana glanced at Cai Xue and spoke in a light tone. "You can leave the room. Make sure no one bothers us unless it is urgent."
Knowing what was coming, the maid curtsied and walked out of the room without looking back. She felt that if her senses continued to be assaulted by the endless charm of the dragon woman, she might jump onto the bed and ask her Young Miss to do the inexplicable to her.
Cai Xue had very scarce relationship experience, and it all happened during her early days as a mortal cultivator. Since she became a Transcendence Realm cultivator and reformed her body, she had always been working as a maid for Xing Jimie. So, in a way, her body was pure, and even the secret membrane down below regenerated.
She, who had been starved of lust for thousands of years, was basically on the verge of exploding when a sex bomb dripping with as much sensuality as Yasenia appeared so vulnerable in front of her.
After Cai Xue left the room, she quickly went to the bathroom, making sure to activate all formations around the room. What she did next, well, it was not hard to imagine.
Meanwhile, inside, Yasenia saw Tatyana about to start undressing, so she stopped her. "Wait."
Tatyana paused, confused. "Hm? What's wrong?" She frowned a bit, gently moving closer and hugging her naked Little Treasure lovingly. "Are you still angry about that stupid emperor or whatever? Love, you really shouldn't worry."
Yasenia shook her head, a bit shy after she remembered her previous attitude. "I am not worried about that."
Tatyana caressed her cheek and smiled. "I see. Then, tell me. What's wrong?"
"That… Do you know how the others are doing?"
During her stay in the Blue Pearl World, Yasenia had blocked her mind from worrying about them because she knew that she could do nothing about it, even if she wanted to. However, now that the comfort of safety enveloped her in the form of Tatyana, her thoughts began steering into directions that previously she couldn't afford to.
Tatyana's eyes flashed and then softened. She asked, a bit reproachfully. "Can't you ask that after we vent our longing for each other, eh?"
Yasenia showed an apologetic expression. Nevertheless, she wanted to know. "I don't want to make love to you with worries in my mind. I want to be able to place my entire heart, with no lingering thoughts about anything."
Tatyana's heart couldn't help but soften even more. She hugged the soft beauty between her arms tightly, her lips gently stealing Yasenia's sweet and creamy ones. 'Really… she is delicious~.'
Controlling her lust again, Tatyana smiled. "Alright, I'll tell you about them. As you know, I sent many people from my power to the Exalted Heavenly Layer to search for them. I knew the teleportation locations in advance, so I had no trouble finding them. Although there have been a few… unexpected events."
Yasenia frowned, and Tatyana reassured her. "Don't worry. None of them is in any kind of immediate danger."
"Immediate…" Yasenia chewed that word.
With a kiss to her smooth forehead, Tatyana spoke slowly. "As you know, your lovers are anything but normal cultivators. Not only are they all practicing three or four cultivation paths simultaneously, but they all have godly inheritances. These inheritances had taken shape when they arrived at the Sixth Realm."
Yasenia nodded, and her eyes sparkled. "My dears are super strong and talented, after all!"
"Yes, yes, yes. They are the best of the best."
The dragoness didn't hear Tatyana's half-exasperated tone and instead nodded earnestly. "Exactly!"
Tatyana raised her eyebrow. "So, what do you think a senior would do when they see someone as talented as the girls?"
Yasenia based the answer on her own experience and frowned deeply. "Try to kill them because they are fearful of their potential?"
"... My bad." Tatyana smiled wryly. "Ahem, usually, if the seniors are not narrow-minded, they would become eager to nurture and nourish that talent. Being the master of a very powerful cultivator earns almost as much reputation and respect as becoming one oneself. You won't see anyone bother the teacher of an Emperor, right?"
Yasenia's furrowed brows relaxed, and she blinked. "Hm… Like Xing Jimie? Even if she didn't like me at first, she made sure to teach me well and protect me."
Tatyana narrowed her eyes. "She didn't like you at first?"
Yasenia tilted her head. "Didn't I tell you during my narration?"
The Death Empress heard something like that, but the way Yasenia worded it back then was that Xing Jimie acted coldly, but not that she disliked her. "Hm… Should I have a word with her?"
The dragoness, thankfully, saved the woman's skin from losing a few layers. "There is no need. I like Xing Jimie. She is like a caring elder who always nitpicks at you, but protects you during the important situations."
Tatyana relaxed her expression. "I see." Her fingers gently traced Yasenia's soft skin, and she smiled. "Anyway, as I was saying. Your girls, once they arrived at different parts of the Exalted Heaven, were immediately poached by different powers."
"Huh? How?"
Tatyana laughed. "Do you think that the people who take care of connecting different Heavenly Layers will lose out on the chance of adding powerful geniuses to their ranks? In the first place, the reason the powers guarding Heavenly Layer Transportation Formations are so powerful is that they basically control the influx of people."
Yasenia thought about it for a second and finally grasped the meaning. "Do they have poachers on every formation to look out for talented people?"
"Exactly. Moreover, since they know the limits of cultivation on those Heavens, it is easy to place someone at that peak so that no one can refuse without a good reason."
"Wow… Isn't this terrible for the rest of the powers?"
Tatyana laughed. "Of course, they are not stupid, love. If you owned the same thing, wouldn't you know how to keep taking advantage without making enemies with everyone else?"
The dragoness understood. "I understand. So, what you are saying is that my dears are currently stuck in different sects?"
"Yes." Tatyana nodded.
Yasenia tilted her head, confused. "Then… Why did you word it as if they are about to get into trouble?"
The Death Empress smiled wryly. "Love, what did your… nourishment do to the girls?"
Again, our dragoness answered a bit cluelessly, her beautiful golden eyes bright and innocent. "It made them stronger and more talented!"
Tatyana looked at Yasenia, her eyes egging her on as if they were asking her for more. Yasenia saw her look and pondered. "My nourishment made them… have more solid foundations?"
Tatyana gave up and spelled it out for her. "Beyond all that, it made them more beautiful. Most of them were already beauties when you met them, but with your…help, they've broken through the ranks of beauties and become ridiculously attractive. Even if she is not blinding like the rest, Evelyn, that average-looking girl, can now charm a man with one of her mischievous smiles. Imagine the firepower the rest have."
"Oh." The dragoness paused, and then her face crumpled into a scowl. "Are there brainless people aiming for them?"
The Death Empress nodded. "Yes. They are all among the top in the beauty lists of their respective sects, admired by many. With so many suitors, there will naturally be some with a lot of influence who use slightly more forceful methods."
Yasenia's eyes shone with killing intent. Thankfully, Tatyana knew how to calm her down. "You don't have to worry. Kali and Angel both have Valeria and Mirrory with them, so they are by far the safest. Evelyn's god inheritance has also made her untouchable among her peers, and the seniors of her sect are nurturing her with care."
A bit of relaxation returned to Yasenia, but she asked. "What about Andrea and Cecile?"
Tatyana chuckled. "Andrea's charm is most effective on women, which makes her less prone to being attacked forcefully. Although it also makes her much more vulnerable to attacks from jealous or desperate individuals, it's hardly as dangerous. So, things won't get complicated to the point that she is in a dangerous situation. Moreover, her two contracted beasts, Ebirah and Vairon, are really powerful."
After pausing for a second, Tatyana smirked. "As for Cecile, she is your [Interlocked Soul]. Not only is her face always covered in a layer of frost, but her body is basically constantly signaling that she already has a partner. Of course, Cecile, being as peerlessly beautiful as she is, still has many suitors. Probably the most among all your lovers, with a close second being Kali." Tatyana grinned. "Cecile is a piece of emotionless ice, though. So, all those who dared even slightly approach her will get frozen stiff."
Yasenia frowned a bit. Then, she summarized, ignoring Tatyana's hand, which was squeezing her breasts to the point of sinking all five fingers into them. "So, Andrea and Cecile are not in much danger because of the type of beauty that they are, while Mirrory and Valeria protect the most vulnerable Angel and Kali. Then, my pretty Evelyn is just… there?"
"Exactly." Tatyana chuckled. "Thus, the girls are not in immediate danger. Their suitors are many, but none of them dares make a move. Those who dare to be underhanded, well, they won't have good ends. Just look at yourself. Even you did not have that many problems with perverted people, right? Those who managed to become Transcendents are much more in control of their impulses. Exceptions are everywhere, but unless you are around Demonic cultivators, the chances for a tragedy to occur become slimmer."
While Yasenia's heart settled down a whole lot, it was not entirely at rest. Still, it was enough for her body to soften that the hands roaming her body began to heat her core. Looking up from her pensive position, she noticed Tatyana's lips arched seductively. "Love~, I think it is time to see your progress from over a hundred years ago~."
Tatyana's main body had not experienced intercourse for a century while having a lover, so she was more than starving. Yasenia's body heated up, and her arms went up, coiling around Tatyana's neck as she kissed her deeply.
