While Yasenia was choosing her treasures, the geniuses of the other top-tier powers were spending their time consolidating their gains. Most of them actually managed to break through, their strength improving greatly.
Among them, Vrixana, Drakar, and the others who interacted with Yasenia stopped the day before the competition. They, who had set Yasenia as their target, wanted to know where Yasenia cultivated. After all, none of them encountered her, and they all reached the sixth level in the trial, with very few of them managing to step at the very edge of the seventh level of transcendence.
Vrixana entered her master's room, ignoring the sensual sounds inside. "Master, I've finished consolidating. I wanted to ask about Yasenia."
Her master, a succubus with enough beauty to make most drop to their knees in awe, didn't stop moving until the man below her tensed. "Perfect~. Thank you for the meal."
She stood up, not a single drop dripping down, and turned to put a semi-transparent blue robe around her naked body. "Vrixana, didn't I tell you not to bother me when I am busy?"
Her tone was seductive, but there was a tone of helplessness in it. This girl barged into her room at all times, regardless of what was happening inside. Vrixana, not even batting an eye at her master's plight, kept looking at her in search of answers.
"Don't look at me like that. I won't answer you."
"Huh?"
Her master sighed, looking at her disciple with complicated eyes. She had seen how Yasenia tail-slapped her against a wall and ignored her later. Knowing her disciple's personality, she didn't doubt that Vrixana wouldn't rest until she pushed that dragon woman down and rolled in the sheets with her.
Still, this time, things were different. "You heard me perfectly fine, so don't show such a confused look. I won't tell you where Yasenia cultivated during the trial. Also, forget about her. That dragon is not someone you should be aiming for."
"Ha?" Vrixana was shocked. Her master was a Demigod Demon Sovereign. She was one of, if not the, strongest succubus. The people who could fend off her charm were few and far between, and she had always taught her that with a succubus's innate abilities, it was impossible not to bag those they wanted as long as they tried hard enough.
Yet, this time, she actually told her to give up! Vrixana's face crumpled. "Why do you say that, Master? Do you really think that she is out of my league? I admit that she is beautiful, probably one of the most beautiful and seductive beings that I've ever seen. Even my charm falters when I stand by her side. Nevertheless, I don't believe that she can resist me if I am serious."
"She can." The Succubus Ancestor didn't even hesitate to shoot her down. Looking at her disciple's bewildered eyes, she sighed. "This time, the prey you chose is out of your league. Not to mention you, even if I wanted to bed her, I would have problems."
This time, Vrixana's eyes widened in fright. She was starting to believe that someone had secretly exchanged her master while she was consolidating her foundation.
"What does Master mean? Is Master saying that she can resist your charm?"
The Succubus Ancestor rolled her eyes. "How could a little child like her resist me? If we were in a room together, she would be under my spell in just a few minutes."
"MINUTES?" Vrixana almost screamed in disbelief. "How is that even possible!? A dragon of her age and strength can't possibly resist Master for more than a single second!"
Somewhat annoyed at being constantly questioned, the Succubus Ancestor frowned. "And yet I am telling you that she can. Can you stop acting as if the sky is collapsing? To start with, that child's heart is spotless; she has absolutely no Heart Demons. Second, her soul is massive. And I mean ridiculously enormous. If your soul is as large as a lake, hers is like the ocean. There is absolutely no comparison."
Honestly, saying that she would need minutes to subdue that child hurt her own pride. Even Low Level Law Creators fell to their knees with just a smile of hers. Yet she was sure that the dragon child she saw in the trial would last at least a minute or two before being subdued.
As a Fifth Level Demon Sovereign, how could she not feel ashamed of revealing this? Still, for her disciple's sake, she had done so.
Vrixana's face was blank, still having difficulty digesting this news. In her mind, her Master was godlike. It didn't matter who it was; everyone ended up under her spell, and she had never seen her struggle.
A sigh escaped the succubus ancestor. She looked at Vrixana for a moment and then looked out with her spiritual sense. "Come with me."
Both of them put on some clothes. Vrixana still wore her ultra-revealing clothes. However, strangely, the succubus ancestor wore a decent-looking black and gold robe that only showed some cleavage. For someone at her level, revealing her beauty was nothing but secondary.
After moving through the city for a bit, they arrived in front of the treasure pavilion. Vrixana was confused as to why they came here, only to see Yasenia and the others leaving the place. When she saw Yasenia, her eyes shone with desire once more, attracting the dragoness's attention.
Such a feeling was not rare, but the intensity and seductiveness behind it felt familiar, so Yasenia turned to look. She saw two women standing there; she already knew one, and the other made her brain freeze for a second.
The woman with the black robe was exquisitely crafted, and even the air around her seemed to move just to enhance her beauty. Thankfully, Yasenia's mental strength and willpower were ridiculous for her level, so she managed to extricate herself just a second later, frowning lightly.
Vrixana saw the whole process, and her heart sank. 'The first glance at Master only dazed her for three seconds? How is that possible?'
She then heard her master speak, her tone polite but not submissive. "Good afternoon. I am the second Succubus Ancestor. I am here to teach my stubborn disciple a harsh lesson. Would these fellow cultivators allow me so that there are no extra troubles later?"
Vrixana saw the woman with red eyes step forward. When she noticed her, it was Vrixana's turn to blank out. The woman's beauty could only be described as violently gorgeous. Her raised eyes, red lips, elegant facial features, and perfect body proportions and height were crafted beyond perfection, reaching a level of beauty that didn't lose out to her own ancestor.
She only came out of her daze when Tatyana spoke. "Welcome. I appreciate the intention. How would you like to solve this problem?"
The Succubus Ancestor smiled faintly. "Let me charm your child. I will naturally stop before any damage is done. This can also be considered as training for your child, while teaching my disciple a lesson on people whom she shouldn't aim at."
Tatyana pondered for a second, her face showing no reaction to her words. As she was thinking, Vrixana noticed Yasenia take a step forward. "Mom, let me do it."
The red-eyed empress blinked, turning to look at Yasenia's resolute expression. There was no reproach, only curiosity in her eyes. "Why do you want to do this?"
"Two reasons." Vrixana heard the dragoness speak. "The first is that this demon will continue to annoy me unless she is convinced. If I were to attack her and kill her in the future, the conflict would certainly escalate. After all, she is probably one of, if not the strongest, geniuses inside the succubus race."
The Succubus Ancestor's eyes showed appreciation, smiling slightly. She even spoke up to ask. "What's the second reason, child?"
Yasenia looked into the Ancestor Succubus's eyes with intensity and determination. "I involuntarily blanked out when I looked at you. I even felt my heart tremble once very lightly. I can't accept that my heart has been affected."
For Tatyana's group, what Yasenia said spoke volumes about the Succubus Ancestor's overwhelming charm. Yasenia knew how to appreciate beauty, but she was never carried away by it. If she saw a beautiful woman, she would show appreciation and wouldn't be ashamed to admit others were beautiful. However, the fact that her heart trembled for a second was something she just couldn't compromise, even if their strengths were far apart.
On Vrixana's side, Yasenia's words sounded like utter and unabashed arrogance. Her eyes gained a dangerous glint as she glared at Yasenia. "How dare you disrespect my Master!? Do you even know what you are saying!? My master is a super powerhouse! Someone who can most likely flatten whatever sect you belong to with her strength alone!"
"Vrixana."
Before anyone spoke, the Succubus Ancestor's low voice descended with enough strength to darken the surroundings. Vrixana's heart trembled, and she lowered her head. There were very few times when she saw her Master angry, but those few times ended up with either a sect being destroyed or families being exterminated to the last dog in the house. It was terrifying.
Seeing her disciple calm down, the Succubus Ancestor relaxed her stance and smiled at Yasenia. "Come here, child. Don't worry, I won't play tricks. Vrixana, make sure you look closely."
Yasenia was not afraid and approached. From start to finish, this Succubus had not shown any enmity. Even if the other side could hide her emotions from her, she wouldn't be able to do so easily from Yan Huang, Ao Xianlan, and her mother. Since the three of them didn't react, she was assured.
Yasenia was a head taller than the Succubus Ancestor, making her laugh. "You are so tall! Now, listen well." Yasenia paid attention.
"I won't use my full strength from the beginning. I will slowly escalate it for a minute. When the minute is over, if you can reject me when I ask for a kiss, we will continue. We will do so until you can't resist my question and lean over to kiss me. Of course, I will block the kiss and stop you. Alright?"
Yasenia took a deep breath. She knew that what she was about to experience was not easy. However, it was a perfect opportunity to further forge her heart. A chance like this came around very rarely, which was also why the seniors didn't stop her from the very beginning.
"I am ready."
Yasenia's energy bloomed inside her, enveloping her entire body as she cleared her mind of all distractions.
And yet, when she looked down into the Succubus Ancestor's black eyes, and the woman smiled, Yasenia felt as if everything else in the world stopped mattering. The only thing that existed in the world was this woman's smile, and she had to use everything to protect it.
