Chapter 531: Chapter 531. Liberating Captives. Punishment.
Yasenia turned and saw Luna standing still while they left.
"Luna, follow along. You will probably like what happens next."
Luna looked at Yasenia, confused.
One of the S.L.U.Ts approached and grabbed her hand with a wide smile. "Let's go see Yasenia beat up those bad guys, little sister!"
Another one grabbed her other hand and laughed. "We will beat those bad people and make them cry for their parents!"
Luna looked at her hands and blinked twice. The soft touch and warm skin made her cold body feel like something comfortable was going through her veins.
'Warm.'
She took a step forward, and the others guided her. Luna looked around, and her eyes finally fixated on the dragon woman leading them.
Esther was walking side by side with Yasenia. "What cultivation technique should we give Luna? I've been considering teaching her Spiritual Cultivation instead of Body Cultivation."
Yasenia said. "We should first discern her body constitution, bloodline, and attributes. Then, she can maybe try double cultivating Body and Spiritual cultivation. You should also try it if you find a good enough technique."
Esther frowned. "Where will we get them from?"
Yasenia smiled. "We've got a few recently. We managed to kill a few elders of powerful clans and could gather a few. We intend to take better techniques in the future, so if any of you don't have haste in getting one, I would not rush it if I were you. This is a long-term investment, and our techniques may not be the best for all of you. Unlike Spiritual Cultivation, where changing from one to another, body cultivation is much more painful and hard because you have to change your flesh gradually."
They all nodded.
Yasenia looked at the six struggling beast humans and approached them. Then, she tapped a few acupuncture points to seal the dantian, voice, and ability to communicate mentally. "You do not have the strength to communicate mentally, but just in case."
Esther was impressed. "That was incredibly accurate."
Yasenia laughed. "I have a manual called [Yin and Yang resonance acupuncture manual], and I've learned quite a lot from it."
Yasenia looked at the building and smiled. "Girls, let's start acting like slaves. I'll mentally give you directions on how to act as we move along. I have a few ideas. Let's choose the one you all agree upon."
"Yes, Matriarch!"
Yasenia nodded. "Good. Try to get accustomed to that way of calling me. In private, you can call me Yasenia if you want."
"Yes, Matriarch!"
Cecile asked. "Won't it be dangerous if someone listens?"
Yasenia smirked. "They are my slaves. If I want them to call me darling, no one can tell me otherwise."
Cecile nodded, and the others blushed, imagining themselves calling Yasenia darling with sweet and clingy tones.
As they walked, a few blinked with confusion.
"Hm? Isn't that the Matriarch?"
"Woah! I didn't know there were so many slaves."
"Look, those slaves are dragging Cui Yuan and his group."
"Have you seen the one at the front? That black-haired human is stunning."
"You are right. Matriarch and Lady Cecile are so beautiful that I almost ignored her."
They observed their backs and looked at each other. "Should we follow and see what's happening?"
Cecile's voice reached them. "We'll summon all of you, so follow us."
Their faces became a bit pale. 'We were speaking quietly, and you've heard it all?'
Therefore, the beast humans following Yasenia began growing as they met with more of them along the way.
Yasenia didn't bat an eye and moved forward to the central plaza.
The plaza was large enough to hold all of them without problems and had a stage to show everyone what she was about to do.
Yasenia used her energy and linked herself with the formation covering the whole state.
Then, she spoke in a normal tone that was heard across the entire place and reached everywhere, including inside private rooms and bathing areas.
"In two hours, meet me in the garden behind the mansion. I'm in the middle of the plaza and want to show something to all of you. It is mandatory, and whoever fails to assist will be punished."
It was the middle of the night, but the place where Yasenia was had more than enough illumination for everyone to see clearly.
Instead of waiting in place, our dragoness took the chance to fulfill her promise with Ghana.
She ambled and reached the prison area with Cecile and a sleeping Kaleina.
When she entered, Yasenia heard many curses fly at her while others began shouting about their backgrounds and other things that Yasenia didn't care about.
Yasenia preemptively used her energy to block sounds around her chest, allowing Kaleina to sleep peacefully as her mother's strong and reassuring heartbeat reached her ears.
Cecile felt they would be cursing much more when they fell into either Tatyana's or Kali's hands. So she could only look at them with pity.
"Hmm, there are quite a lot of them. The variety is also very nice."
Yasenia's voice was calm and analytic, as if they weren't living beings but exciting items.
The tone made a few of them shut up as a chill ran up their spines.
"Look, sweetheart. That one is old, and this one is quite young. How did she get involved? She looks not older than twenty-five."
Cecile shook her head. "Her strength is very low, so I don't know."
Yasenia kept walking and reached the room where the three harpies were being kept alive.
She entered the room and looked at the brutalized figures of the three. They didn't react when a person entered.
Yasenia tilted her head and got thoughtful. 'What is the most painless death.'
Yasenia concentrated her energy and waved her hand.
Golden flames engulfed them and carbonized them in an instant.
This flame would not have been so effective if it were before, but the harpies' strength has diminished a lot during the last month. Therefore, it was enough to be turned to ashes instantly and painlessly.
Yasenia waved her hand, and the ashes flowed toward her. She opened three jars and poured their ashes there.
Then, she commented. "Let's go."
Cecile nodded and grabbed Yasenia's hand. Then, the two of them left.
Once outside, the dragoness and Cecile approached the Bloodline Tree Kali planted and poured their ashes around it.
Yasenia stood still for a minute and then muttered. "In hopes you can become something that will strengthen your harpy sisters in the future."
Then, she walked away.
Cecile asked. "Was our punishment too harsh?"
Yasenia shook her head. "No. If I were not strong enough, I would've died. Their fates were sealed once they attacked me. Dying that day, dying a month later, it doesn't really matter. Those that oppose us are irreconcilable enemies and should be stomped without mercy. Feeling empathy for them will only make your resolution falter in the future."
Cecile questioned out of curiosity. "You won't ever give second chances?"
Yasenia looked up at the starry sky. "I probably will. I can't see the world black and white. If I do so, I'll be unable to properly develop my character, knowledge, and determination. There might be times when giving a second chance was correct, and there might be chances when it was not. As with everything, if I make a mistake, I'll learn from it so that the next time goes more smoothly."
Cecile looked at Yasenia.
The tall and charming dragon woman's hair moved along with the night breeze as the stars in the sky looked like accessories for her beauty.
Her golden gaze looking upward was mesmerizing and profound.
Cecile tightened her hand and smiled. "Don't worry, Yasenia. We'll be around you on this path you are walking to help you."
Yasenia looked at Cecile and lifted her eyebrow. "Around me?"
Cecile smiled softly. "That's right. In front of you, behind you, at your side. Everywhere around you. At every place that would allow us to help you."
Yasenia chuckled and lowered her face to kiss her. "That's one of the sweetest things I heard this last month."
Two hours passed, and Yasenia stood in front of the crowd with Cecile and the S.L.U.T. members.
Angel, Tatyana, Kali, and Andrea were in wheelchairs below, being pushed by high-ranking harpies.
Yasenia took out a pearl and threw it upward.
It floated mid-air and began shining brightly, illuminating the place with a soft and not blinding glow.
Yasenia looked down and observed the almost one thousand people before her.
There were mainly females, with a male-female ratio of three to seven.
Yasenia then began speaking with a soft and calm tone.
"When I created the tests for entering my clan, I thought of them as tests that would allow the recruiting team to glance into the people entering the clan and choose carefully the best of the best."
"The test is not easy by any means, and if all of you here have overcome it legitimately, I would be impressed."
Yasenia continued. "When I created it, I thought that I would be happy if one person for each ten thousand passed it. Suppose the numbers I received are correct. Then, after about 40,000 applications, 500 people passed the tests."
"This means the one in ten thousand chance I predicted has been reduced to one in 125."
Yasenia smiled. "Impressive, right?"
Yasenia's words were calm, soft even. However, a few people were already sweating.
Yasenia continued with the same soft tone. "After just a month, not only did we manage to admit so many people, but our strength is not bad for new power. However, even if our strength is legitimate, nasty trash has entered my carefully created and nurtured clan."
The expressions of everyone hardened as their eyes moved to the six people lying on the ground, tied up like cattle.
"These six went to the Slave house I'm building over the west area."
Yasenia chuckled. "What do you think they went there for?"
Yasenia didn't speak, but the meaning implied was easy to discern.
Yasenia continued, her tone lowering and becoming colder as she spoke. "Thankfully, I also went there out of curiosity. If I didn't go... Well, we wouldn't be speaking here calmly and politely."
Yasenia waved her hand and threw a fireball at each of them.
Everyone's eyes widened as the fireballs exploded and consumed the area around the captives.
However, unlike the six corpses they expected, they appeared unharmed after the fire subsided.
The only thing that was burnt was their clothes.
Four naked men and two women tied in ropes lay flat on the ground before the crowd.
Yasenia turned toward the crowd and smiled.
However, the smile was nothing like the previously gentle Yasenia, as everyone present could feel the coldness behind those reptilian golden eyes.
