Chapter 444: Chapter 444. Leaving the mansion. Five Shadow Fang group.
Once their forging session ended, Tatyana arrived to knock on their door. "Enter!"
The door opened to reveal the Death Empress's figure wearing a white dress.
Yasenia turned around and smiled. "How was your trip?"
Tatyana smiled back and walked toward her, her eyes roaming her body. "Fruitful. By the way, where is Kaleina? I don't see her here."
Yasenia blinked and commented. "I left her with Cecile before coming to the smithy."
Tatyana looked at Andrea's dodging eyes and understood. She lifted her eyebrow and commented. "I hope you practiced seriously."
A cough left Andrea's mouth, and she continued cleaning up the smithy.
At first, Yasenia didn't understand, but she soon got it. "I've even had an enlightenment about blacksmithing, so I guess it was fruitful. A little bit of fun doesn't hurt."
"Right. Let's go down after you finish here."
They nodded, ignoring the harpies' curious eyes.
While walking down the stairs, Yasenia looked outside through the windows and saw that the sky was already darkening. "It's so late. I only managed to create three swords."
"Matriarch, to have only worked for a day, that's very good!"
Yasenia smiled and nodded.
Soon they separated from them, and they both went toward the kitchen while Andrea left to inform the others.
After confirming that no harpies were around, Yasenia hugged Tatyana and asked while coiling her tail around her. "How was it? Did you have any problems? Was it difficult?"
Tatyana smiled and returned the hug, burying her face in Yasenia's neck and sniffing her floral scent. "Don't worry, little treasure. Everything went well. The final price for their house and the shop locations in this city are two low-level Heaven-ranked items. What do you think?"
Yasenia looked down at the gorgeous woman and blinked, surprised. "Just two swords? No way. Even if Heaven-ranked items are expensive, they shouldn't be able to buy all their houses and shops. I heard that they were a second-rate power, after all."
Tatyana nodded and lazily leaned on her tall daughter. "They are in dire need of good equipment to fight the Nine Sect. I used it to my advantage to scam them. We've signed a contract and even used vows, so they can't return even if they regret it now. With a nod of your head, we can buy it whenever."
Tatyana looked up and smiled mischievously. "Not to mention, I've managed to slip a clause that prohibits them from messing with us in the future. It's not absolute since they only have to sacrifice those tied in the oath. However, they will lose three Ethereal Soul Body Realm cultivators if they do so."
Yasenia laughed. "In short, unless it is a considerable offense, we are immune to them."
Tatyana nodded. "They are the thirty-first Clan of the thirty-three clans, the [Lightning Flash Squirrel] Clan. I asked around and learned that the conflict started because an arrogant junior from the [Nine Pure Melody Sect] forced herself on a man from the Squirrel race. However, the woman turned the story around, and both sides fell off since there was no definitive proof for either side."
Yasenia realized. "I wondered why they could resist the Melody sect with a second-rate power level. It turned out to be one of the thirty-three clans. By the looks of it, even if internal conflicts exist, the thirty-three clans are unified toward outside threats. Although they won't truly interfere, they won't let the clan be destroyed. I guess the conflict will end either with the Squirrel Clan's apology or the Melody Sect asking the other Nine sects to interfere."
Tatyana blinked twice. "Oh my. Little treasure, you've truly matured to guess so much from what I told you. Good job."
Yasenia laughed and lowered her head to kiss her. "It was not hard to guess. However, we have to keep in mind that this is all speculation. We can't read the future, after all..." Yasenia stopped and looked at Tatyana with strange eyes. "Well, I can't do it, and you also currently can't with this body."
Tatyana laughed aloud. "I don't use this skill to predict these outcomes unless completely necessary. Tapping into the future can change it just by looking, not to mention predicting an accurate outcome is a very dangerous skill."
"Dangerous?"
"Yes, do you remember how even my main body was bleeding from the seven orifices when you entered the Secret Realm? Even at a demigoddess level can hurt me, not to mention something weaker."
"Moreover, those Fate users that abuse similar powers usually end up with terrible Fates for themselves. Quite an ironic thing, to be honest."
"I see. But you were injured because the time frame to predict was minuscule, right?"
Tatyana was surprised. "How did you know?"
Yasenia smirked. "Well, I've learned a few things about all the attributes inside the trial while reading all the books you left behind."
Tatyana confirmed her suspicions. "Yes. I tried predicting countless paths three months ahead in just an instant, and it overwhelmed my soul and mind momentarily."
Yasenia nodded and changed the subject. She didn't like talking about Tatyana's injuries. It made her heart hurt. "So, when are we moving?"
Tatyana lifted her head and commented casually. "Whenever you want, I recommend moving right away. We can avoid many potential threats and also begin seriously working on strengthening the clan."
Yasenia nodded and shared a little bit of an intimate moment with her in the kitchen. Nothing out of hugs, a bit of fondling, whispers, and kisses.
Then, Yasenia prepared dinner with the harpies and, at the same time, stored her items lying around the kitchen in her storage ring. They were going to move, so Yasenia intended to carry away everything they could.
Tatyana also stored the formation she was building.
Usually, formations weren't transportable. However, Tatyana knew that they wouldn't stay in this place long enough for her to complete it. Therefore, she built it on a portable surface.
While Yasenia prepared dinner, Tatyana informed the rest of the girls and harpies, making everyone move busily.
By the time Yasenia and her helpers finished cooking, the whole mansion was already cleaned of all items, leaving behind a pristine house.
To make a short goodbye to where they first met, Yasenia set up the tables outside to eat together.
The harpies were excited and waited for the food to be served.
The dinner was not too fancy, but it was naturally delicious. Not to mention, the atmosphere was exciting, and many harpies even set up a small stage to sing, dance and play music.
Yasenia leaned on her hand and smiled. "We should do something like this from time to time."
Evelyn nodded enthusiastically. "I agree!"
They blinked and followed her gaze, only to land on a pair of voluptuous harpies dancing. Naturally, the lack of clothes made the dance unnecessarily sexy.
They all sighed and chuckled.
Yasenia shook her head and kept feeding her two little dears, Kaleina and Angel. Then, she teased. "Should I also take off my clothes and dance?"
"No." Was the instant answer from all of them.
Yasenia burst into laughter.
With this joking banter, the dinner went by quickly.
Then, Yasenia gathered everyone and spoke. "As warned before, we are moving tonight. Our management team made a great deal; we can't miss this chance. Tomorrow morning I'll share with all of you many plans and projects I want to start and the direction our clan will take."
Yasenia paused for a second and continued. "I trust you didn't leave anything behind. Even then, I will give you an extra half an hour, so revise your rooms, workplace, and the places you visited during your stay here."
"Yes, Matriarch!"
Yasenia and the other girls used their spiritual sense, just in case, and after cleaning up the place, they walked toward the gate.
The movement was not big. However, the fact that the annoying formation that blocked their sight disappeared was important.
Therefore, some powers received notice of their movements.
Yasenia stood at the gate, waiting for the harpies to gather.
Naturally, these spies from the outside waited patiently. However, they didn't realize that Yasenia's wide spiritual range had already locked onto them, and she was observing their racial characteristics.
'Hmm. I can't guess much, but I can distinguish the mouse, lion, tiger, bull, and wolf races. At least, their characteristics lean on those races. Well, it doesn't matter. Once I open my intelligence network, I will have people doing this work.'
While being analyzed, these people couldn't help but look at Yasenia.
Yasenia was wearing her beautiful blue dress with the scaled skirt. The night breeze blew her long dress as a semi-transparent black veil covered half her face and accompanied her in this dance with the wind.
Her tail was even more striking at night since it had its own glow. The white lights on her scales shone like a star river as the golden arcs left a trail wherever the tail moved.
The constant swishing motion was hypnotizing.
Behind her, the five white-wearing women stood elegantly, and the armored had a relaxed but attentive posture.
Their eyes moved past the giant, majestic white wolf and landed on the group of three hundred harpies.
Yasenia smiled and commented. "Let's move. Maintain a formation and follow the group."
Then, the dragoness turned around and unhurriedly walked down the street. The time was late at night, so very few people walked on the streets.
Halfway to their objective, Yasenia slapped her tail on the ground twice. The movement was inconspicuous and felt natural.
The following people didn't notice that seven harpies disappeared from the group using extremely high-level stealthy movements.
Once out of sight, these seven harpies separated into different groups and flew quickly toward gathering points.
Right after they stopped flying, some seniors from other powers approached them.
Meanwhile, Yasenia encountered a small problem.
"Quite a beautiful woman we have here. Not to mention the ones behind! How about you all join our group during this cold night?"
Yasenia's eyes narrowed as she observed the group of twenty before her. 'What power are they from? They are all of similar strength to Ghana.'
Ghana didn't delay in communicating. 'Lady Yasenia, they are one of the evil powers in the Koran City, [Five Shadow Fang]. Their business covers beast-human trade, addictive substances, gambling places, and similar. I've been trying to deal with them for almost two decades. However, their backing is strong, and I've never had substantial success.'
Yasenia nodded. Then, she turned toward them and smiled.
*BOOM!*
A pressure shockwave filled the street like a wave as the night became darker, and Yasenia's golden eyes glowed.
Yasenia's [Empyrean Dragon Authority] and [Monarch Intent Level One] burst forth with tremendous momentum. She also mixed her soul pressure within the aura, increasing the pressure to the next level.
"Scram before I erase all of you from existence. I'm not free enough to play with you."
The twenty people's pupils widened in fear as their bodies trembled. They had the illusion of looking at an archaic creature that had just escaped its prison.
This kind of people feared the strong and took advantage of the weak. Therefore, after getting burned by Yasenia's monstrous momentum, they all scurried with their tails between their legs.
Then, Yasenia's aura relaxed, and she kept walking forward.
Yasenia stopped and turned around toward the petrified harpies. "Is there something wrong?"
They all woke up from their shock, and the admiration in their eyes increased to the point that Yasenia felt it in her skin.
Ghana coughed and ordered. "Restrain yourselves and follow the Matriarch!"
"Yes!"
Yasenia nodded and continued walking. 'If they can overcome the initial fear, they could fight harshly against me. Twenty beast-humans with mid-level Unification Realm strength are not a joke, after all.'
Yasenia smirked as she continued her walk. 'Thankfully, my bloodline is as strong as it is~.'
Then, our dragoness sighed. 'However, it looks like this power may bother me in the future. Well, I can't blow up my cover as a super-powerful senior here. Speaking of powers bothering me, how are those girls doing?'
