Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 453: Chapter 453. Slight hiccups.

The place to test and evaluate the items was deep into the building. Auction houses were usually divided into an entry and meeting hall, where the auction happened, and a storage and testing room.

The number of rooms, halls, and stages changed from auction house to auction house, but the overall layout was similar.

Brilliant Auction House was the biggest one, including the surrounding cities, and the size of this building showed it.

They had to walk for a while before reaching a hallway with ten rooms and a blue crystal above each door.

Yasenia realized that everything was done for normal-sized races. This brought a question to mind, which she vocalized. "Carbira, I can see that this building has no adaptability for giant races. Is this normal?"

Carbira smiled and answered. "Well, as a new power, it is a good question. I recommend that you don't try to create an "all-race" building. Once giants step inside a shop, their size intimidates many customers. Sadly, Races that have a height higher than three meters are rare. This means that if you want to accommodate most of the market, you must lean toward normal-sized races."

The crab beast-kin saw Yasenia's thoughtful expression and clarified. "Buildings and shops for giant races are mostly dominated and run by such races. Besides the top powers of the Continent, which need to accommodate all races, it is complicated and strange for a normal-sized filled race to accommodate them. Moreover, there aren't any top powers related to them, so a giant's race spending power is more often than not lower than any other power. In short, it is not worth accommodating them until your reputation is stabilized and world-renowned."

Yasenia nodded and then asked with a raised eyebrow. "Are you sure about telling me all of this?"

Carbira chuckled and commented. "Ghana and Hanna are very clear about these things. They probably haven't told you yet because the situation wasn't right, or you haven't purposed creating such an establishment."

Hanna snorted and pushed her chest forward, making it bounce. "I haven't told her because I feel confident in the Matriarch's vision. Naturally, I have a half-written report about all these things done. I intended to present it two weeks later after I complete it."

Yasenia smiled. "You don't have to explain yourself, Hanna. Remember to focus on that report if you have nothing else to do. The faster we know about the market tendencies, the better and faster we can create the shop."

They all nodded. "We understand, Matriarch!"

Yasenia turned toward Carbira and asked. "Are you sure you don't want to change powers? I'm more than welcome to take you in. You look like a competent person."

Carbira shook her head. "I owe too much to the Brilliant House owner. I won't betray him unless he doesn't want me anymore."

'Ghana, keep an eye on Carbira. If they fail to keep a hold on her in the future, don't lose a chance to recruit her.' Even if Yasenia didn't insist, she gave that order to Ghana, just in case.

Ghana was amused and answered. 'I'll look onto it, Matriarch. You really don't lose a chance.'

Yasenia gave her a side glance and a smirk. 'If I weren't like that, I would've missed recruiting you.'

Ghana smiled and didn't answer.

They all walked before one of those ten rooms, and Carbira spoke. "This is a VIP seller room. There is a formation that roughly evaluates the general value of the things placed inside. If you light up the crystal above the front door, you'll pass the quality test."

Yasenia nodded and asked. "Anything I should take note of?"

Carbira thought and answered. "The room only measures items outside your ring. Hence, take out everything you want to auction. The brighter the light, the better the treatment of your batch, after all."

Yasenia nodded and entered the room.

Carbira and the others looked up, not expecting the following events.

Once the dragoness stepped inside, the crystal lit up, gaining luminosity by the second.

Carbira was surprised and commented. "It should be her Spatial ring and clothes. To gain this shine just for her clothes.... The quality should be at least a high-level Heaven grade. No, the light is increasing, so it's a peak-level Heaven-ranked garment. Impressive."

Tatyana blinked and asked. "Lady Carbira, does it measure the ring's quality too?"

Our girls were confused and then remembered. 'Right, Tatyana gave that ring to Yasenia... Wait.'

Carbira looked at the human woman and nodded. "Yes. It is now analyzing the clothes quality and should begin with the ring's quality... Now."

Tatyana was about to warn, but it was too late.

The luminosity of the crystal above the door suddenly increased exponentially, almost blinding them.

The light emitted from it was so bright that it looked like a miniature Sun, illuminating the hallways and beyond with a blinding white light.

Carbira exclaimed. "What's going on?"

*Crack.*

"Huh?"

*BANG!*

The crystal couldn't handle the quality of Yasenia's [Five Realms Spatial Ring] and exploded.

The light extinguished with the crystal's destruction, and the hallways returned to normal.

Almost everyone was stunned on the spot.

Carbira, Ghana, and Hanna knew how much those crystals could handle. Hence, when looking at the crystal shards on the ground, they were stupefied.

Yasenia was confused until she remembered her spatial ring. She looked at the hand and smiled wryly. 'Right, this item was the ring Mom used before the one she has now... How could it be of low quality?'

Yasenia sighed in annoyance. 'To think I forgot such a basic thing...'

Tatyana's lips twitched. 'Such a blunder.'

Carbira woke up from her stupor and looked at Yasenia up and down. Yasenia saw her eyes and scratched her cheek. "Well, sorry for that."

"You, what... What is that ring? This crystal can even handle the legendary low-level Transcendence items! Although we've never had middle-level transcendence items, it shouldn't have any problems with them."

Yasenia smiled calmly and answered. "You already know I won't answer those questions. It was my blunder that I didn't remember, and I'll pay back the Auction House for the broken crystal. I suppose there is a percentage of what we sell that will go to you, right? How much is it?"

Carbira wanted to ask more deeply, but she felt Yasenia and the rest of the women, including the harpies, looking at her with a warning in their eyes.

The woman felt a deadly chill rushing up her spine and swallowed her questions. Ghana said flatly. "Carbira, we are good friends, so I'll tell you this. Say that the thing that broke this crystal was the quantity of Heaven-ranked items she took out."

Carbira's protruding eyes crossed, a sign of her frowning. "That excuse won't work unless she takes out a Heaven-grade treasure amount we've never received. That means above thirty Heaven-ranked treasures. And at least one Peak-Heaven ranked treasure."

Hanna chuckled. "Then, there is no problem."

Carbira would've snorted at everyone else who said they had more than thirty heaven grades treasures at hand, but she didn't say anything this time. 'If this person has a treasure strong enough to blow up the measuring crystal, it should be the auction who begs her to participate, not the other way around. Naturally, she should also be someone not easy to deal with.'

Carbira guided Yasenia to another room, and she spent the only slot she had for the final day of the auction on Yasenia. She had another customer in mind. However, they weren't as good as this mysterious dragoness.

The show of strength and promise of thirty-plus Heaven-ranked items was enough for Carbira to ignore everything else and accept Yasenia.

"Lady Yasenia, now, we need to register all your items, item descriptions, and if they are a niche use item, their way of use, disadvantages, and details for the buyer to keep in mind."

Yasenia asked. "This slot you used, how many items can I present?"

Carbira was curious, but she smiled and spoke. "Don't worry. You won't be able to reach the maximum limit. Remember that all items must be worthy of being on the last day of the auction."

One of the harpies snickered. "Big Sis Carbira, you are underestimating our Matriarch again."

Yasenia didn't keep Carbira in the air and took out a simple-looking short sword. But the word simple would be the last thing Carbira would use to describe it.

The aura of a low-level Heaven-ranked item was on full display as a sharp and piercing aura emitted from it.

Yasenia commented. "This is the lowest and worst item I want to present."

"Y-Your what?"

"My lowest level item."

There was silence in the room for five seconds.

Then, the crab woman asked with a trembling voice. "How many items?"

"One hundred and seven."

"One hund...." Carbira's eyes rolled twice, and she fell backward.

Yasenia flashed and caught her before she fell on the shell on her back.

Angel and two of the five harpies couldn't hold it anymore and burst into laughter. The others also had a smile on their lips as a small chuckle left their mouths.

The dragoness sighed with a smile. "I thought the crystal situation would've been enough to prepare her heart."

Hanna placed a hand on her mouth and commented with a smile. "Lady Yasenia, I think that only increased her stress levels."

Carbira's droopy eyes suddenly straightened and looked around, only to see the seductive and charming dragoness face up close and looking at her with a soft and helpless smile.

That smile, scent, and golden slit eyes rapidly made Carbira's face blush.

The sweet floral scent and firm arm around her waist stiffened her body.

Then, realizing her compromising position and feeling Yasenia's soft breasts squishing against hers forced the blush to climb down her neck, making her face look like a cooked crab. "L-L-Lady Yasenia, even if you are beautiful, this is inappropriate!"

Yasenia laughed and let her go. "I thought you would damage your beautiful red shell if you fell, so I caught you."

"Beautiful!?" Carbira squatted and used her hands to hide her face. However, the pearly black eyes stuck between her finger, looking at Yasenia shyly.

Ghana coughed and asked carefully. "Lady Yasenia, are you trying to court her?"

Yasenia choked and looked at Ghana strangely.

Ghana sighed and smiled. "Praising the shell is quite an intimate thing. I would resolve the misunderstanding before Carbira says she wants to marry you."

Yasenia's eyes widened and turned toward the shy and fidgeting Carbira. She saw Carbira stand up with a determined but blushing face, giving Yasenia a very bad hunch.

She decided to interrupt before Carbira could speak. "Carbira, Ghana has explained it to me. Sorry, I didn't want to confess or anything similar. I was unaware of that cultural difference and carelessly said something irresponsible."

Carbira paused, her blush disappearing slowly. Yasenia felt guilty and apologized sincerely. "I just wanted to praise it. I didn't mean anything else. I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding."

Carbira looked at Yasenia's honest expression and felt disappointed.

You must remember that, not to mention love, Carbira's strange protruding eyes had made it very difficult to find a partner.

"I see. I understand, Lady Yasenia. I also found it strange that you would like someone like me. Do not worry."

Yasenia felt even worse. She usually wouldn't care, but Carbira was a future regular partner and her harpies' friend. Therefore, she was out of the qualification of outsiders, with half a foot in her camp.

Kali smiled and commented. "Carbira, these are my honest thoughts, but you are an attractive girl. You should carry yourself with more confidence. Even I could find a lover, not to mention someone like you."

Carbira was surprised and looked at the two-tailed fox. She couldn't distinguish her face because of her veil, so the perfect and curvy body proportions with a tall stature and gentle and dignified feeling were all she could see.

Hence, the crab woman frowned and asked. "Are you mocking me?"

Kali didn't answer and removed her veil, revealing her heavily scarred face. "Am I?"

Carbira shook her head and looked at Kali with pity for a second, only to realize later. "Hm? Lover?"

Yasenia directly took Kali's waist and bowed forward to kiss her deeply. The contrast between the scarred face and the devastatingly beautiful face made an unexpectedly pleasant contrast.

Some of the harpies hadn't seen her without a veil before, so their eyes widened. Carbira was no different.

Not to mention, in their eyes, Yasenia's willingness and lack of hesitation while kissing her were more than enough to tell others they loved each other deeply.

Kali chuckled and patted Yasenia's bouncy butt. "Stop kissing me, love. We are here to do other things."

Yasenia bit her lips and separated. "Sorry, honey. You are so sweet I can't control myself."

"Ahh!!" The harpies swooned and screamed like fangirls.

"Lady Kali and Lady Yasenia look so good together!"

"Right, right? Their height difference is also perfect~. The way Lady Yasenia has to bow a bit to kiss her is delightful~."

"Not to mention, two big-breasted women kissing is quite the sight."

"Hmph, hmph. If someone in the future dares say something about Lady Kali, they'll have to pass over us first! Lady Yasenia's lovers are our lovers-."

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

"You girls... Behave yourselves!"

Angel blinked and chuckled. 'Ghana is somewhat similar to Yasenia.'

Yasenia looked at Carbira and commented. "Let's keep checking the items."

Carbira nodded and began evaluating the one-hundred-and-seven items with a light blush because of the previous scene.
