Chapter 784: Lottery. Embracing Tranquility.
The winged man presenting the games concluded. "Now, let's move toward drawing lots. As previously designed, there are 22 areas, and the top 22 powers will each go to one. This top 22 are the Three Empires, the Nine Sects and the Top Ten of the Thirty-Three Clans."
"Areas 1,2 and 3 will go to the Empires, areas 4 to 12 will go to the Nine Sects, and the rest will go to the top ten clans."
To make it fair, there was a large rolling sphere filled with 49,978 different balls, each with one number. The numbers went from 23 to 50,000.
When the man clapped, 22 similarly winged beast humans flew to the platform with the giant sphere. Each of them was beautiful and elegant, wearing similar robes and standing behind the handsome winged man.
The man smiled and commented. "As per usual, the host is tasked to create a fair distribution among the powers. So, this time, we've done it by lottery. When you arrived, each power was assigned one number at random, and that number will be revealed to you now."
Yasenia felt the formation around her, trying to send something directly into her mind. She slowly accepted the message, and the number 34,654 appeared in her head.
Lornerat waited until he received the notice that everyone got the message and nodded. Then, he flapped his six wings and hovered before the large sphere. "The 22 assistants below each represent one of the areas."
After he said that, a number floated above their heads ranging from 1 to 22.
"They will approach one by one and roll the giant sphere, making one of the balls fall through the hole at the bottom when stopped. Then, the number they show will be paired with the area that corresponds to the number they represent. For example, if number 12 takes out the ball with the number 100, the power assigned with the number 100 will enter the 12th area."
Nobody complained. This method was transparent enough that cheating on it would be extremely difficult. After all, many spiritual senses were locked on the giant sphere, making it the most guarded item in the entire continent for the few seconds that this lottery would last.
Number 1 approached and used a lever to roll the giant sphere. The sound of marble balls hitting each other was the only sound heard, and after 5 seconds, she stopped.
A pure white ball fell from a hole at the bottom, rolling slowly until it landed in front of Number 1.
Number 1 picked it up and then spoke clearly. "Number 12,451! Number 12,451! Number 12,451!"
After repeating it three times, Number 1 moved aside, and number one took her position. The process didn't last longer than 20 seconds.
Yasenia calculated, and her lips twitched. 'At this pace, the lottery will last more or less 11 days.'
However, when she looked around, she saw that people had no problem with that. Tatyana looked at Yasenia and asked. "What's wrong?"
Yasenia explained, and Tatyana titled her head. "Isn't it just 11 days?"
The dragoness felt a bit speechless.
Tatyana laughed, her ruby-like eyes gleaming softly. "You are accustomed to high-pace living, but usually, cultivation matters last this much. I've even participated in events where the assigning lasted months, and the events lasted years."
Tatyana hugged her arm and smiled. "It's time you begin to feel how a cultivator lives and get accustomed to it. In cultivation terms, you are considered extremely hyperactive. One week doing one thing, the next week doing another, and the following one creating something new. Sigh, such a tiring life. Take it easier, love."
The dragoness, who had become accustomed to being a workaholic, looked between the sphere and Tatyana, thinking. 'Do you know how many things I can get done in 11 days!?'
But, knowing that there was no reason to speed things up, Yasenia took a deep breath and sat cross-legged, informing the rest of it.
Kaleina and Flame were not nearly strong enough to be able to not fall asleep during all 11 days, so Yasenia prepared bedding for when they wanted to sleep. She created a few peak-level Heaven-ranked defensive formations that wouldn't break even if Alaia released her dragon breath at point blank, just to be safe.
The few powers around Yasenia saw the extremely high-level materials that slowly fused into formation ink by Angel with their eyes twitching. 'What kind of godlike thing are you doing in the middle of an event!?'
Other than that, Yasenia took out a few books to read. After all, cultivating here was impossible. One became too vulnerable while cultivating.
Naturally, the rest of the people would stand dazedly around without doing anything for 11 days. Many powers took advantage of this time to meditate, relax, or do other small activities.
There were even some Dual Cultivation Sects who sent caution out of the window.
Those places were naturally blocked from view and sound by our dragoness.
Time flew by. The first day passed, the seconds also did, and on the fifth day of the lottery, Yasenia finally heard her number.
"Number 34,654! Number 34,654! Number 34,654!"
The dragoness lifted her hand while petting the sleeping Kaleina and Flame, looking at the person holding the ball. 'Number 8, huh.'
Tengliu, Coraline, the Mermaid Queen, and a few other leaders sent Yasenia a message simultaneously.
"That's the [Nine Shadow Fang Sect]'s area."
Yasenia lifted an eyebrow and felt a gaze landing on her. Turning to the right, she saw the people from the Shadow Fang Sect looking her way with cold and emotionless eyes.
Yasenia smirked and chuckled. 'Action since the very start? That's good.' Then, she looked at the scrolls and looked at the small map for the first floor.
'Area 8 Area 8 There it is.'
While they were inside a mountain, that didn't mean that all areas were mountainous and desolate regions. There were forests, deserts, and many other types of biomes.
The one Yasenia's group landed in was a gloomy swamp. There was even a light fog that affected the Spiritual Sense.
"Mm~."
Yasenia heard Kaleina groaning as she snuggled closer to her while asleep. She looked down at the two darlings sleeping in her arms and drooling out of comfort and stifled her laughter. 'They are so cute.'
Yasenia was half-lying on the bed prepared for them, and both children were hugging her to sleep. They fell asleep like that because Yasenia was reading them a book before their time to sleep.
So, while she read and hugged them, her calming body scent and warmth relaxed them enough to fall asleep.
Andrea sat by her side, touching Yasenia's head. "Are you tired, love? We can move them onto the bed if you want."
Yasenia shook her head softly. "Don't worry, let them rest on me for today. They were a bit more tired than usual."
Andrea nodded and leaned forward, cautious not to wake up the two darlings. "Don't push yourself, okay? Remember that we have to fight in a while."
Yasenia nodded as she lifted her head, asking for a kiss. Andrea naturally obliged and leaned down to capture the dragoness's soft and sweet lips.
After kissing for a few minutes, Andrea gave Yasenia one more peck between her eyebrows and stood up from the bed, moving toward the side where the rest of the girls were.
The "sleeping area" they'd created had anti-spying functions as well, so nobody could see anything from the outside.
After Andrea left, Angel entered. Angel looked at the two children by Yasenia's side and slowly made her way in between, landing face down between Yasenia's large breasts and taking in a deep breath. "Sigh~, so comfortable."
The dragoness chuckled when her third baby was added to the mix, and she gently used her tail to squeeze Angel's body with an expert tail massage.
Angel felt the squishy, long appendage coil around her and sometimes apply pressure, provoking a face that melted in comfort. "It feels so nice~."
"Does it? I know you love it when I coiled it around here, right?"
The dragoness's tail moved toward Angel's arm and undulated the pressure, making her muscles feel as if they were being liquified in a good way.
When Yasenia's tail stopped applying pressure, her arm fell, soft enough to appear boneless. Then, the dragoness repeated the motions on Angel's other arm.
Our baby purred in comfort, her large blue eyes watery as she joined the other two drooling on top of Yasenia.
Thankfully, our dragoness didn't mind. Instead, she internally laughed. 'Does it feel that great? So cute~.'
After making Angel's other arm limp, the tail moved and pressured on Angel's back, the tip poked like fingers, sometimes dragging across the skin and other times making quick taps.
Thanks to Yasenia's ability to soften her scales, it felt like a bumpy, smooth surface instead of raspy, lighting up the nerves in comforting pleasure.
Angel, her face buried between Yasenia's marshmallow-like breasts, slowly closed her eyes. While she had plenty of stamina as a high-level cultivator, Yasenia had placed Angel to sleep almost daily, so she had never lost the habits.
The only times Angel lost sleep was when she was too concentrated when studying formations.
Other than at those punctual times, our baby was always carried to bed and placed to sleep by having lovely sex and cuddles. "Yasenia~. Muah."
Angel kissed the breasts surrounding her head with tap kisses. The dragoness smiled, lowering the tail to non-sexually massage Angel's athletic little but.
While our baby had a great front, she was a bit flat hip-wise. Not that it mattered.
Carefully moving Kaleina and Flame, Yasenia managed to move her arms enough to place her hands on top of Angel's head. With that, she started using her fingers to play with her soft and long hair.
Angel's golden locks reached around the back of her knees when left loose, so more often than not, Yasenia liked styling Angel's hair.
While her current range of motion was very small because of her honestly uncomfortable position, the dragoness continued her tail massage as she played with Angel's long hair.
She didn't speak because she knew that her baby was about to fall asleep. The slowing rhythm of her breathing was all too familiar to Yasenia.
Looking down at the three sleeping dears, one on her left shoulder, one between her breasts, and one on her right shoulder, Yasenia felt full.
She really treasured these moments of comfort and love she shared with them. 'It would be nice if I could go to bed each day like this, surrounded by my loves, and not care about anything else.'
As a dragon, Yasenia had ambitions. It was part of who she was. However, her lovers have managed to occupy such a large part of the dragon's heart that all her instincts were now secondary.
She would feel happy if they were fulfilled, but as long as her family could smile, the dragon was happy to lay everything down Or, on the contrary. Extend her wings to fly and fight the entire world.
If the result of her actions was the happiness of her family, this Celestial Dragon was ready to do anything.
