Chapter 480: Chapter 480. Seven of the Thirty three Clans.
While they were talking, a person from the tournament landed before them and saluted with Distancia's greeting. "Matriarch from the Astral Sky Clan, we've come to retrieve the dress your slave is wearing."
Yasenia smiled and nodded. "I was about to call someone so that they could come and get it. It's a bit of a shame, though. I really like how it looks."
The others looked at Luna, still wearing the off-shoulder blue dress. It was very tight and hugged Luna's curves perfectly, making her look like a high-ranking person even when her facial expression was lost.
The person who came laughed and nodded. "Participant Evelyn did a great job. Aesthetically, it is honestly my favorite dress. So unique and beautiful. I bet participant Evelyn will have a few people asking her for dresses soon."
Jorey commented with a laugh. "She already has a bit of fame in Koran City, and many misses and madams have already asked for dresses."
Yasenia turned toward Evelyn and asked. "Dear, please remove her clothes and give her something else to wear."
Evelyn looked down at Luna's ample chest and thought about what to give her. Then, she spoke to Yasenia. "The dresses I have for large breasts are all yours and Angel's, Matriarch. However, neither of you has her height. The Matriarch is too tall, and Angel is too short for her."
Yasenia commented. "Well, if they are everyday dresses, you can use the one you want and retouch it. Don't use anything expensive."
Evelyn rubbed her chin. "Hmm... Should I take one of Angel's long dresses and touch it a bit to look like a midi dress? That sounds like a good idea. But Luna's breasts are a bit bigger, so I should use a baggy dress not to make it stuffy."
Yasenia nodded. "That sounds perfect."
Evelyn took out one of Angel's white dresses, followed by her scissors and needle. Then, in a few seconds, she made some cuts and adjustments to the dress.
The others looked at how Evelyn worked up close and nodded in approval. Elder Song smiled. "Worthy of being the twenty-first, her skills are excellent."
Evelyn finished shortly after, and Yasenia ordered. "Luna, take off your clothes."
Nobody thought it was strange for Yasenia to ask Luna to get naked in the middle of the crowd. In their opinion, this woman was just a slave, after all.
Yasenia also ordered it like this for that reason. A slight for showing her naked body is not something Yasenia will try to cover.
Tatyana has always trained Yasenia not to be ashamed, and Yasenia had even fought naked in the past against her maids.
When Evelyn approached to take it off, Luna grabbed onto the blue dress.
The other people present were startled and looked at Luna with frowns. Yasenia was not excluded from the group of frowning people.
Our dragoness could understand why Luna was reluctant, but there were limits one had to understand.
Yasenia's voice cooled down as her gaze landed on Luna while exerting mortal-level pressure. "Take it off, Luna. Either take it off, or I'll throw you back to where you came from. I've not shown kindness to you for you to forget your place."
Yasenia's tone was convincing because she was not lying. She saved Luna out of convenience for her objectives, not because Luna was unique or something. There were thousands like Luna, and Yasenia was no saint who would put herself at risk for this.
Therefore, the cold voice making such a promise made almost everyone who heard it tremble, including Luna.
Her eyes looking at Yasenia showed fear and a hint of resentment, something Yasenia didn't miss.
Evelyn knew that if she didn't intervene, Yasenia would not hesitate anymore, so she took a step forward and used her cultivation to force change Luna in a few moments.
Luna was naturally unable to resist, and the blue dress was stripped of her, consequently being forced to wear the white dress.
Evelyn took the dress and gave it to the tournament person. "Here you go, mister. I'm sorry for the complications."
Luna was still unsure what had happened, but when she saw the blue dress in another person's hands, she almost took a step forward if it weren't because Evelyn nailed her to the ground with her angry eyes.
'I'll tell you something now, Luna. Don't get spoiled under our care. If you dare make any complications that can damage Yasenia, I'll kill you myself.'
Luna's eyes opened wide as her heart hurt again. Evelyn commented. 'Is a dress so important? I know it has a significant meaning, but think of our situation before thinking like a brainless person. I know you may not be very bright, as your entire life lacks education. However, I'll tell you now, if when I stop pressuring you, you take a step toward that dress, you'll be sent back toward the place where you came from.'
This world was cruel, and the situation was unfavorable for everybody here. Yasenia was always dancing on a thin ice surface; a single misstep could mean disaster.
Evelyn would not let the person she saved damage the efforts their dear dragoness was making daily for a dress.
Evelyn stopped pressuring Luna, but her fingers flashed with a trace of black lightning, her Thunder Soul, ready to strike Luna if she did something stupid.
The tournament person could've left, but he was interested to see what this human would do, so he stood still as Luna's eyes kept being locked onto the dress.
Yasenia's face was getting colder by the second, and when she was about to speak, Luna looked elsewhere.
Evelyn released a sigh she didn't know she was holding.
The tournament person lifted an eyebrow and turned to look at Yasenia. "Well, with this, she is yours, Matriarch of the Astral Sky Clan."
Yasenia smiled and looked at him. "Thank you for agreeing to my demands. Our Astral Sky Clan is interested in beautiful, tenacious, and strong female humans, so please get in touch with us if you catch any. We'll pay generously."
Yasenia didn't add males because most people she was close to, including the S.L.U.T. group, were females. This way, she can veil her intentions behind interest rather than saying all humans and have people doubt her.
She felt sad for all her male friends, but Yasenia would easily sacrifice anything else for the safety of her dears, and this time, they were them.
The man got thoughtful and commented. "I'll speak with my superior. I think we know of a few of them. I heard they recently caught a few, so you may be interested, Matriarch of the Astral Sky Clan."
"That would be helpful, thanks." Yasenia nodded without a change in expression. Her thoughts, however, couldn't help but spin.
'Recently? Hm... I hope my thoughts are wrong, but at the same time, I hope they are right... Sigh. Such a dilemma.'
After the tailoring competition, Yasenia stayed in the tournament area and walked around with just her dears, looking at other stages and all the humans that appeared.
Yasenia found no one she knew, and the others were the same.
There were a few that were a bit deformed, but Yasenia's spiritual sense and memory scanned every single one of them and found no trace of a familiar aura.
You may be surprised, but Yasenia knew and remembered every single member of her Super Lovable Ultimate Team or S.L.U.T. They were not that many right now, a few thousand, so it wasn't that hard to memorize for our dragoness's powerful mind.
Moreover, a dragon's way of remembering was more via auras than physical appearance. Even if they were crippled and deformed, Yasenia was confident in spotting someone she knew.
The only way of genuinely escaping a dragon's senses was by using techniques to hide the aura.
The day went by without problems, and Yasenia even got to see the other human participants.
Yasenia commented to her dears with a wry smile. "I don't know if we are lucky or not."
Angel and the others knew how Yasenia was feeling. Cecile interlocked her fingers with Yasenia and smiled.
Kali commented. "We are lucky, love. Finding someone means that a person has likely already gone through something. They are either not in this Continent or perished resisting if we find no one."
Yasenia knew Kali's way of looking at things was too optimistic, but she smiled and used her tail to interlock with Kali's.
The long, fluffy fox tail happily interlocked with Yasenia's soft and long dragon tail as they walked around.
Someone from the tournament stopped before them, saluting them with Distancia's greeting. Then, she commented. "Matriarch of the Astral Sky Clan, a few of our leaders want to speak with you. Please, follow me."
Yasenia lifted an eyebrow. 'I thought they wouldn't invite me. Did they choose to do so on purpose after the first day of the tournament? They must have been observing me, then.'
Yasenia internally sneered. 'I bet that if I showed any interest in saving humans, they would've used that against me quite eagerly.'
Yasenia looked at Luna, who was grabbing Evelyn's dress while walking with them, and frowned a bit, her cold reptilian eyes flashing with many thoughts.
She looked elsewhere and sighed. 'Well, whatever.'
Yasenia looked at the tiger woman smiling at her, and nodded. "Lead the way."
The tiger woman was surprised. "The Lady doesn't want to ask what you will talk about?"
Yasenia looked at her and put pressure on her gaze. "Are you qualified to speak for them? If so, I'll ask."
The tiger woman's ears flattened as her tail went between her legs. "N-No, madam. I'm not qualified."
"Then what are you delaying? Lead the way and stay silent."
The tiger kin nodded and led Yasenia's group with her head lowered.
In another room, the people observing had different reactions.
"She is quite wild." Said an ape-man of the [Devil Smashing Ape] Clan.
"I think she did the correct thing." Answered a man with lion-like features.
"[Gale Chasing Lion] Clan elder, little Song has spoken quite well about her to me. However, I just find her too arrogant. Shouldn't she be a bit more humble before us?" Mocked a woman with serpent-like features from the [Five Fang Serpent] clan, the same as Elder Song.
"But her attitude is deserved, at least from the aura she released back then." Commented the tiger man.
"That is something I have yet to see." Said a dignified Dragon man.
"Don't act so high and mighty for being the third strongest thirty-three clans, [Sky Scale Dragon men]." Commented a bear woman.
"He is the highest ranked of everyone here, so we should listen to him." Said an older-looking dog woman.
The tiger kin man laughed. "Well, we have the third, fourth, seventh, thirteenth, eighteenth, and twenty-second races here, so let's be welcoming of her. Who knows if we'll become the thirty-four clans after knowing her."
"The weakest clan is giving orders. So refreshing." Snorted the dragon man.
"My race may be the weakest of the ones here, but strength-wise, I'm the strongest in this room, so be careful with your words." Answered the tiger man with a sneer.
The lion woman laughed. "If you weren't, it would be laughable, Patriarch of the [Azure Sky Tigers]."
