Yasenia stayed in the Radiant Flow Sect for another month. During this time, she got to know how Lidia lived and who she was close to and even had a small talk with the Sect Master and his sons.
There were three sons, one younger than Yasenia, another with 2,000 years of age, and the third with 5,000 years of age. While their ages were quite far apart, that was normal for a powerhouse of the Radiant Flow Sect Master's level.
It was, after all, not easy to conceive when reaching their strength.
After encountering these three, Yasenia understood slightly why Meng Lihua was so confident. They were truly proper in attitude. Even when seeing her, they were able to hold back their thoughts.
Of course, when encountering the youngest, Yasenia made sure to dissipate her charm so that it wouldn't affect the young boy. To make sure that the youngest wouldn't be influenced by Yasenia, Radiant Flow Sect Master also made sure to avoid encounters.
In the end, Yasenia felt satisfied with what she saw and was convinced that Lidia was in good hands.
Yasenia looked at Lidia and smiled softly, stepping forward to hug her. "Take care, Sister-in-law. I don't know how long it will take me, but I hope that next time I return, you will be here to welcome me back."
Lidia buried her face in Yasenia's bosom, indulging a little before her departure. "I hope you don't take that long. Still, I will be waiting. Take care of Angel and Aurelia, alright?"
"I will." Yasenia looked down at Lidia's golden hair and smiled. Then, she released her and stepped back.
"We are leaving now, Sister-in-law. If you ever feel wronged, make sure to contact the Astral Death Sect. Goodbye!"
Lidia saw Tatyana wave her hand, taking the group of five into the sky, where Tian Long descended and carried them all away.
The moon-sized dragon flew away, its figure easily visible for a long time as it flew into the distance.
Meng Lihua looked at Lidia and gently patted her arm. "We'll return inside. Come in when you feel like it."
"Mhm." Lidia nodded, staring into the distance. "I'll go after a bit."
***
On Tian Long's back, Yasenia sat cross-legged with Feixue sitting in the hollow of her legs. Hugging her disciple, Yasenia sighed. "I didn't expect her not to want to come with me."
Tatyana spoke softly. "Time is something that can make the predictable unpredictable. She was not even 40 when she entered the Secret Realm. After more than a century, she naturally has changed her views and adapted to her new environment. Still, if you had not arrived, I feel that Lidia would've left to try and find Angel by herself."
Yasenia nodded, slightly dazed. "Perhaps… Still, it makes me think quite a bit."
Ao Xianlan looked at Yasenia's face and smiled. "Worried?"
Yasenia chuckled. "Always." She didn't deny it. Why would she?
Feixue looked up with curiosity. "Why are you worried, Master?"
Yasenia looked down and spoke gently. "I am worried that I am taking it too leisurely. I am worried that something unexpected will happen. I am worried that next time I won't be enough… I am worried because the future is unknown."
Feixue frowned, speaking carefully. "But… You don't look worried."
"Because…" Yasenia kissed her forehead and smiled. "As much as I am worried, I am equally expectant. I am expectant about how my lovers have developed. Expectant about the child in my belly. Expectant to see how my pretty disciple will evolve. Expectant of the surprises that I will encounter in the future…."
Feixue blinked, her eyes brightening. She nodded seriously. "I won't let you down, Master."
Yasenia laughed. "You can't let me down. As long as you follow your heart and work hard, I won't feel let down. Try your best, try to push through your limits, and wherever you end, I will be satisfied."
Feixue smiled funnily. "What if I become an evil demoness that wants slaughter?"
Yasenia raised her seductive eyebrow. "Then, you'll have to be confident that you are stronger than me. Otherwise, once I know about it, I'll make sure to spank you until you ask for forgiveness."
Luan Feixue suddenly felt very scared. 'I don't want to be spanked!'
Yasenia chuckled at her expression and looked toward the endless horizon.
Ao Xianlan asked, curious. "What's next, Yasenia?"
"Next?" Yasenia pondered. "Aunty Xianlan, you wanted me to go to the dragon land, right? Will it take long?"
Ao Xianlan pondered. "Depends. I am one of the strongest Ancestors, but I am not the only Ancestor. So, while I am very biased toward you, the others might place some obstacles in your way. Especially because clearly you won't stay in our Dragon Clan. So, many of them will consider you an outsider not worth the resources."
Yasenia hummed, her eyes thoughtful. "What about you, Master?"
"Your charm can be practiced everywhere." Lady First answered leisurely. "Dragons are a good target, as you are basically prime mating material among them. Over there, we can perfect your ability to control not only your visual charm but also your aura charm."
"Aura charm…" Yasenia repeated, her eyes thoughtful. "Are you speaking about things like my presence, scent, bloodline, and such?"
"Yes." Lady First nodded. "Human and Beast Humans don't have sharp senses toward those things. Even among the sharpest Beast Humans, their senses are lacking compared to normal dragons. So, if you can manage to avoid instantly charming a low-strength dragon just by existing, that would be big progress toward your control over your charm."
"I see…"
Yasenia nodded and smiled. "Since that's the case, let's first go to the Lan Family. We can pick up those people from the Star Immortal Sect and drop them off somewhere to be at ease."
Tatyana squinted slightly. "How many people from the Star Immortal Sect did you ask the Lan Family to pick up?"
"All that they could," Yasenia spoke lightly. "Giving her specific names could've been dangerous, as some people will do reckless things and use them as leverage. However, if I asked for the entirety of the sect members, people would think that I am doing it to repay gratitude without any deeper feelings."
Luan Feixue blinked, looking at Yasenia with surprise. "Are you always that careful, Master?"
"Careful?" Yasenia tilted her head. "Isn't it normal to set up things with a certain layer of security?"
The girl was somewhat speechless. 'What to do? My Master's brain works too differently from normal people.'
Tatyana commented. "Tian Long, you heard the girl. Let's go to the Lan Family."
The dragon's rumbling voice sounded. "Understood. Hold on tightly."
His massive wings flapped strongly, the space in front of him twisting as his body shot forward.
WHOOSH!
The massive dragon became a streak of light, moving millions of kilometers each second with ease.
Yasenia looked around with wide eyes. Everything was extremely distorted, as if reality itself couldn't keep up with Tian Long's speed.
Tatyana chuckled. "You'll know how to fly this quickly in the future. Don't sweat it."
Yasenia nodded and took out a communication talisman. "Aunty Lan, we are going to meet you soon. As those from the Star Immortal Sect to gather."
An elegant voice came from the other side. "Got it."
The journey was quick. In just a few minutes, Tian Long arrived at the Lan Family, his body perfectly hovering above the Lan Estate.
Yasenia looked down with a smile and jumped down.
Before coming, she confirmed that those closest to her were present, so she was not worried that someone was missing.
Tatyana was also quite intrigued about who could probably fall into the "friend" category for Yasenia. It was very rare for her daughter to make friends, after all.
Yasenia's group of five quickly flew down, landing at the entrance of the Lan Family's mansion. Once there, the gates opened, and Lan Shuyao stepped out with a smile. Her aura was very different from the last time they met.
Yasenia couldn't help but exclaim. "Aunty Lan, you've become so strong."
Lan Shuyao, her extremely long red hair dragging on the ground, chuckled at her words. "I just recovered and made some advancements. I am just a step away from entering the Seventh Realm. I just need a little bit more fame and…"
She didn't continue, but that single sentence made Yasenia widen her eyes. She skipped forward and grabbed her eyes, her eyes shining excitedly. "Are you going to become a Demigoddess, Aunty Lan?"
Lan Shuyao smirked. "That's the plan. I will become the first Demigod in almost 200,000 years." She sighed softly. "Sadly, the last one died protecting our family. Otherwise, our family wouldn't have entered such a big decline."
Yasenia smiled, encouraging her. "Now that they have you, there is nothing to fear!" She asked with a mischievous smile. "Do you want me to advertise you? I can say that I am very impressed by your strength, and millions will flock to 'wow' and 'oohh' for you."
Lan Shuyao rolled her eyes. "I don't want to become your little follower, Yasenia. So I'll pass on the offer."
Yasenia showed a pouty face. "Hmph. Your loss! I made the offer only because it was Aunty Lan."
"Hm. I see. Then how about you give me a baby?" Lan Shuyao nodded as if it were a matter of course. "I thought it through, and having a descendant with your bloodline will only be a bonus for my Lan Clan. Don't worry, I'll reluctantly sacrifice and become the mother. I will also reluctantly love the baby with all my heart. And, well, since we are at it, I'll reluctantly take you in as my Lan Family's daughter-in-law and allow you to rule by my side. I'll finally reluctantly allow you to Dual Cultivate with me daily, no strings attached. What do you say?"
Yasenia rolled her eyes to the Heavens. "You have not given up?"
"How could I?" Lan Shuyao showed a distressed expression. "You did so many things to my body during our treatment that I feel as if I've been enslaved by you. Even after full recovery, I yearn for your fingers to go here and there, sigh."
Her exaggerated expression made it quite clear that she was not struggling in the slightest and was just horny for Yasenia. Of course, our dragoness understood and just laughed.
Meanwhile, Feixue was standing somewhat stiffly. 'W-What treatment? Why are their words so strange? I don't understand!'
Lan Shuyao noticed Feixue and asked, curious. "Who is this little darling?"
Yasenia used her tail to snatch her and hugged her from behind. "My disciple!" She answered proudly. "Isn't she super beautiful?"
Lan Shuyao looked at Feixue for a bit, trying to find some sort of super-powerful bloodline or talent, but she just felt that the girl was… slightly talented. Like a genius, but only in comparison to normal cultivators.
'Does she have a hidden quality I can't see?'
Someone like Yasenia, taking in a normal disciple, was a concept so detached from her thoughts that she couldn't even think of Luan Feixue as just a slightly talented girl.
"I see. I am sure that she will soar to the skies in the future." Lan Shuyao smiled. "How about you all come inside? The others are waiting for you."
Yasenia nodded.
