After leaving the Empire behind, Yasenia went to the Astral Death Sect and picked up Cai Xue. She had previously left her personal maid behind, fearing that conflict would appear.
Once she arrived, accompanied by Feixue and the three seniors, she was welcomed by Hei Lin and Xing Jimie. "Welcome, Lady Death Empress, Young Lady."
Tatyana nodded. "No need for courtesy. We came here to get that girl, Cai Xue. Where is she?"
Xing Jimie straightened and spoke formally. "Cai Xue is currently in closed-door cultivation. However, she told us before she entered that we could interrupt her if it was Young Lady who required her presence."
Yasenia blinked and nodded. "Let's go call her then." She muttered softly. "I miss the way she styled my hair."
With that said, they flew toward the residence Yasenia and Tatyana kept within the Astral Death Sect, where Cai Xue was cultivating. It was, to put it mildly, luxurious and grand. However, the luxury was not one that glowed with countless gems, but a quiet quality that seeped out of every single brick used to build the place.
Feixue looked around with curious eyes. "Is this your true identity, Master?"
Yaseinia hummed and smiled. "More or less. I never told you my true origins, right? You just encountered me in that forest, and we went from there."
Hei Lin and Xing Jimie became curious when they heard that. 'Encounter in the forest? A Mortal?'
Yasenia then explained her origins faintly, without saying a few important pieces, but not holding back much other than anything related to Tatyana.
"You are…" Luan Feixue spoke, her tone unsure. "From a lower Heavenly Layer?"
This knowledge was earth-shattering for Luan Feixue. How could someone as talented as Yasenia come from a lower Heavenly Layer? She had always thought that Yasenia was the child of a goddess who fell from the Ancient Heavenly Layer!
Yasenia chuckled. "Surprised?"
"Surprised…?" Luan Feixue answered bluntly. "Master, I feel useless. I feel as if my entire cultivation journey is just… wasted time."
Yasenia rolled her golden eyes gently. "Silly girl. Isn't your path just starting? Don't say such strange things."
Luan Feixue sighed again, feeling full of emotion. 'My master is truly abnormal.'
Once they arrived near Cai Xue's place, Yasenia spoke lightly, her voice carried by energy into Cai Xue's room. "Cai Xue, I am here."
It took less than five seconds before the woman appeared in front of Yasenia, wearing a maid dress. "Young Lady, you've finally remembered this servant."
The dragoness chuckled and smirked. "Missed me?"
"Yes." Cai Xue was unafraid to admit it. After all, she was Yasenia's body and soul. Even if Yasenia wanted to push her down here and then, Cai Xue would open herself completely to her without a shred of hesitation.
Seeing her answer so honestly, Yasenia felt a little touched. She hugged her maid and rubbed her face with hers. "Good. My maid is so cute."
Cai Xue, feeling her cells light up with excitement, struggled to keep her respectful attitude. 'Young Lady! You are going to force me to change underwear if you don't stop soon!'
After a few moments, she separated and looked down at the short girl. "Alright, do my hair. I've missed your deft fingers~."
Cai Xue's lips twitched. The way Yasenia spoke, with that seductive voice and face, truly awakened her inner beast. Even then, she faithfully stepped behind Yasenia, floating up and moving Yasenia's long and thick black hair.
After a few moments, Cai Xue twisted the upper half of her hair into a neat knot and fixed it in place with two slender hairpins crossed like blades, leaving the remaining strands to cascade straight down her back.
The hairstyle was perfectly elegant and feminine, with a hint of noble allure. It gave Yasenia's entire aura a fresh and unique feel. Luan Feixue's eyes sparkled. "Wow… So pretty."
Yasenia used a mirror to look at herself, and she smiled, satisfied. "What dress do you think would go best with this, Cai Xue?"
"A white dress would be perfect, Young Lady."
With a single gesture, Yasenia donned a complex white robe with long sleeves, the front opening widely. It was closer to a kimono than a hanfu. The purple and gold flowers embroidered on the fabric gleamed beautifully, adding charm to the overall setup.
Once she changed, everyone couldn't help but stare blankly at the dragon woman. In just a second, she went from a tempting peerless beauty to a noble and otherworldly seductive temptress.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yasenia was satisfied. "Perfect. The next place we are going needs to respect us. So, this set of clothes is perfect."
Cai Xue thought, her eyes scanning the soul-stealing, charming dragon girl. 'Respect? I would be worried that you'd be kidnapped, Young Lady.'
Of course, she kept silent.
"So, where are we going next?" Tatyana asked, curious.
"Let me contact someone first." Yasenia took out a communication jade and contacted the Lan Family.
Once the connection was formed, she asked. "Is everyone there?"
"Yes." The woman on the other side was a red-haired beauty. It was Aunty Lan, whom Yasenia had helped heal previously.
When she left, she had asked her to find Star Forge and the others. Her actions would not be monitored by others, so it was easy to help Yasenia gather everyone important without accidents.
Yasenia smiled. "Perfect. Tell them that I will go get them when I am finished on my side. I don't know if those I beat in the tournament will react soon or let it go. Therefore, it's better if they don't get involved with me again for the time being."
Aunty Lan smiled. "Got it. Go with ease."
After cutting the communication jade, Yasenia turned toward the others and smiled. "Alright, next stop, [Radiant Flow Sect]."
Tatyana's eyebrows raised, and she nodded with a smile. "Alright, let's go then. Tian Long."
The giant dragon manifested in the sky, and everyone moved up together.
Hei Lin and Xing Jimie saw them leave, curiosity in their eyes. "What do you think Lady Yasenia needs to do over there?"
Hei Lin shrugged. "Not our problem." Then he looked at Xing Jimie, confused. "Weren't you going to ask the Young Lady about that matter when she returned?"
"It's not time yet." Xing Jimie answered calmly, her eyes glancing at the distant horizon. "I am also… unsure. Her prospects are nothing but incredible. However, I am unsure if Lady Death Empress would allow me, a saintess, to change. Therefore, I will have to ask her first."
Meanwhile, in a distant continent, a shadow of a giant dragon manifested in the sky. Everyone couldn't help but tremble under his powerful aura, alarming almost all powerhouses on the continent.
In the Radiant Flow Sect, the elders were rushing about and activating defensive formations. After all, their sect was perfectly aligned with the path of this dragon!
Meng Lihua, the female protector that Yasenia encountered in the Secret Realm, flew at the very front of the elders together with the right protector and the Sect Master.
"Sect Master… Are you sure that we should activate the formation? What if the creature takes it as a challenge and attacks us?"
Radiant Flow Sect Master shook his head. "The creature is probably a Seventh Realm beast. None of us can resist it. If we don't activate our defensive formations and get attacked, we won't have enough time to regret and cry about our past mistakes."
The Right Protector, Ma Tianhao, nodded. "I agree with Sect Master."
Meng Lihua frowned and sighed. 'If that girl could mature quickly… She has the potential to surpass Sect Master.'
At this moment, in the distance, a gargantuan shadow appeared, blotting out the skies. This shadow was incredibly fast, and in just a few breaths of time, it stopped right above the Radiant Flow Sect.
Everyone held their breath, their hearts thumping in both fear and trepidation.
A second later, five females appeared at the entrance of the Radiant Flow Sect. Clearly, these five were the ones who came along with the massive dragon covering the skies.
Meng Lihua and the others looked at each other with trepidation, quickly rushing toward the entrance.
However, once they arrived, Meng Lihua's eyes widened. The peerlessly beautiful dragon girl in the middle of the five was the unmistakable top genius in the entire Blue Pearl World.
"Celestial Dragon Yasenia!? What is the top genius doing here?"
"Incredible. I heard about her beauty previously, but only now do I realize that their words were actually underplaying it!"
"She looks like a goddess…"
Yasenia was accustomed to the whispers, so she didn't say anything. Instead, she stepped forward and gently bowed. "Radiant Flow Sect Master, excuse me for the uninvited arrival. However, I was curious about the sect after I encountered Lady Meng Lihua in the Secret Realm and then Miss Chen Xueli in the tournament. If it is not much of a bother, may we enter and have a look inside?"
The Radiant Flow Sect Master's brain was spinning at 1000% speed. 'What is her intention? Does she want to assimilate us? Why is she accompanied by three top powerhouses? If we offend her, she might flatten our entire sect…'
Worries piled up in his head one after another, almost making the Half-Step Transcendence Realm Cultivator feel his stomach cramping. Still, outwardly, he showed nothing and smiled.
"Of course, it is our Radiant Flow Sect's blessing for Lady Yasenia to be interested in us. Please, come inside."
Yasenia chuckled. "No need to be so courteous. I am, after all, a junior. Also, having Lady Meng Lihua accompany us is more than enough. I wouldn't want to disturb anyone else just because of my arrival."
Radiant Flow Sect Master smiled courteously. "That's quick to arrange. Lihua, please make sure Miss Yasenia is comfortable."
Meng Lihua stepped forward and bowed. "It will be my pleasure." Then, she smiled at Yasenia and spoke. "Please, follow me inside. I am sure that Chen Xueli will be happy to see you."
Yasenia stepped forward, her white kimono flowing like clouds around her body. "Will see? We didn't have that much interaction the last time, did we?"
Meng Lihua's brain was also overheating, trying to read between the lines and each and every gesture Yasenia did. Still, she answered calmly. "The time was short, but seeing a dragon such as yourself was impactful for someone who had been quite sheltered."
Yasenia smiled. "I see. That might be the case."
Looking ahead of her, Yasneia's golden eyes shone playfully. 'I wonder… How will Lidia react when she sees me?"
