Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 564: Chapter 564. Conclusion of the confrontation.

After Yasenia saw Tengliu's expression, she smiled. "Knowing this, do you think we have the qualifications to cooperate with your clan?"

Tengliu looked at Yasenia deeply, her violet eyes unblinkingly observing Yasenia's body language.

The claim just made of being able to break through the limits imposed by the heavens was that absurd. It was like people telling you that they could change the day to night whenever they wanted, believing it at face value would be impossible unless they had robust evidence or showed it in front of your eyes.

However, even with her usual instinctive ability to perceive lies, Tengliu couldn't feel a shred of lies. 'Either she is delusional and believes that she really can do it, or she is telling the truth. But... Yasenia doesn't seem the type of person to make outrageous claims like this and believe them unless she can carry it through.'

"I need to think deeply about this."

Yasenia pondered. "We can make a contract if it makes you feel more secure. I do have a way for this."

Tengliu looked at her and lifted her snowy eyebrow. "You have a deal, but I want to create a Heaven Oath. Although they are not completely trustworthy, they are good enough to create a link that allows my heart to relax."

Yasenia nodded. "Sure. Moreover, I'll allow Ghana to do it." She turned toward the harpy and spoke. "Ghana, draft it once we reach home. The sooner, the better."

Tengliu laughed and asked. "Aren't you afraid she will make the conditions favorable for me? She is my subordinate before yours, Yasenia."

Yasenia rolled her eyes. "If I can't trust the woman I've chosen to be my right-hand woman, I would not have opened up so much in this situation. It was really not that necessary to expose me to you so much. I made it out of good faith for the future."

Ghana knew this might be a sweet treat to her to increase her loyalty toward Yasenia. Yet, the bird woman couldn't help but take it and eat the delicious sweet with a smile, feeling happy from the bottom of her heart that Yasenia entrusted her with this critical matter.

Tengliu looked at the thin smirk on her subordinate's lips and sighed. "Annoying. How old are you, Yasenia? Your methods feel like a many centuries-old woman."

Yasenia smiled and actually answered. "I'm forty-five years old."

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

Three simultaneous stupid sounds escaped Carbira's, Tengliu's, and Ghana's throats.

Our dragoness burst into laughter because their faces were too funny. The utter surprise and disbelief were even higher than when she spoke about giving them a way to break through the limits.

Tengliu asked with a solemn face. "Are you lying? No... you must be lying. How can you only be forty-five years old? Harpies your age are still flapping around without an objective and barely entering the Spiritual King Realm!"

Yasenia shrugged and leaned back. "I'm not lying. Why would I lie about something like this after everything I've explained? Do I even gain something lying about my age?"

Ghana felt absurd. 'Am I still dreaming? A person who could well be my granddaughter has been leading me around by the nose? What kind of heaven-defying creature is she!?'

Tengliu's shock was much higher. 'A junior like her had enough strength to constrict me, discuss with me, and block my attack and intent!? Ouch, my face. I feel like I've received an echoing slap.'

Yasenia saw that the dignified Harpy Matriarch had her beautiful mouth slightly opened because of the surprise and laughed. "Is it that shocking?"

Ghana wanted to speak a thousand words but didn't know how to express them.

Tengliu cursed. "Fuck me."

Ghana nodded. "That's a good way to express my convoluted feelings."

Yasenia smiled. "Sorry, I can't fuck you yet."

"Yet?"

Yasenia saw the curious expression, and she shrugged. "The future is always uncertain. So, I don't like making clear statements about something. But my current desire for that is negative. You almost raped me, after all. Sigh, it's a bit of a shame that I couldn't end you."

Tengliu's lips twitched wildly. "A forty-five-year-old junior is the one resisting my charm for the first time? You are abnormal."

Yasenia laughed. "I'll gladly accept that term."

The white-feathered harpy sighed and plopped on the couch with a defeated expression. "Whatever. Honestly, I'm fearful and expecting what you will become in one hundred years. At forty-five years old, you have mid-level Ethereal Soul Body realm strength, you can deceive, control, order, and lead people six or ten times your age, and I've also heard that you can practice a few professions to a pretty high level..."

Tengliu frowned. "Say, can you let other people live? I feel like I've wasted my life compared to you."

"Well, if I'm not that qualified with all the training I've received since birth, I can only call myself a failure. I had the tools, and I just utilized them to best I could without losing myself too much."

"Oh? Losing yourself?"

"Well, I can't forget that I have a family, and I must not leave them behind."

Tengliu's eyes moved onto Cecile. "Her? How old are you? Seventy or something?"

Cecile said curtly. "About to make Twenty-five."

The silence was deafening.

Their eyes quickly turned toward Tatyana. Tatyana smiled and stated proudly. "I'm eighteen."

"Bullshit!" Tengliu shouted.

She could barely accept Cecile's age, but she definitely wouldn't accept the woman claimed to be because she had created a formation strong enough to restrain her right under her nose without her knowledge.

If eighteen years old could do something like this, Tengliu would not know what she had been doing for the last one thousand years.

Yasenia and Cecile agreed with her. It was absolute nonsense. That ancient being that passed herself as a human was more ancient than some mountains or islands.

Meanwhile, Ghana's lips twitched because she knew what Tatyana was about to say in response.

"Well, you are right. I'm not eighteen. I'm thirty-one days old... Sigh. Being young is so problematic."

"Y-You are all messing with me!"

Yasenia laughed. "Well, she is certainly much ol-ahem. Experienced."

Without delay, the dragoness stood up. "Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Let's get moving!"

The harpy Matriarch sighed and decided to ask later more seriously. She didn't know if the strange formation around her was dulling her senses or something.

However, she would find when she asked that they weren't lying and that Tatyana was just a big interrogation mark.

Tatyana deactivated the formation and erased it in a few seconds.

Seeing her work was magical. Her formation pen was quick to the point of being blurry. However, it maintained a kind of flow that made it resonate with the world and gave it an ethereal and otherworldly beauty.

Tengliu had seen many formation masters of the highest level of work, and the things that previously impressed her appeared like child's play before this strange human.

"You created this from scratch right under my nose? You didn't activate a life-saving treasure or something?"

Tatyana blinked and smiled without fear. "You are not wrong. It was indeed me."

Tatyana's change in demeanor took Tengliu by surprise. She frowned and asked. "Aren't you just a human? Why are you talking to me like that?"

"Just a human?" Tatyana muttered under her breath and then smiled.

"Well, I can't really be considered just a human."

Tatyana looked at Tengliu, and her red eyes began to glow, leaving a red light trail as if it were gas when she moved her head.

"Honestly, Tengliu. I'm quite angry at you."

Tengliu sneered. She was about to answer but felt as if the words got stuck in her throat.

"Do you know how much I had to hold back when I saw you trying to steal my little treasure away from me?"

Tatyana's aura became more profound as the temperature of the room lowered.

However, this feeling of coldness was not a thermal reaction. It was as if something far out of the world was manifesting.

"When you approached her when I saw my little darling's eyes only have you in them... Can you understand the pureness and depth of my wrath and jealousy?"

Before Tengliu could even register, Tatyana was face to face with her, only a few centimeters apart.

"The moment my dearest ignored me. Those few seconds that she only had you in her eyes. I felt as if the World lost its colors."

Even her voice became phantasmal.

"Thankfully for you, I was too trapped in that feeling to react, and Yasenia snapped out of it quickly. Hence, those dark feelings that were about to spill outward stopped and receded again to the depths of my cold and merciless heart."

During all this time, the pressure of her soul kept increasing and slamming onto Tengliu with growing strength.

By the time they were eye to eye with their noses almost touching, Tengliu's feathers were raised in fear as swear dripped from her forehead.

But she couldn't move as if those glowing red eyes had nailed her to her standing position.

Tatyana smiled. "Either way, nice to meet you. I'm Tatyana Dravory, Yasenia's mother. I hope you take care of my child properly, or I'll destroy this World."

Cecile and Yasenia began sweating because this was not an empty threat.

Tengliu felt Tatyana's immeasurable soul much more clearly than Ghana did because of her Fate affinity and superior strength.

The feeling of trying to look into Tatyana's soul was terrifying. It felt as if she was about to be surrounded by the concept of Death instead of an aura, making her recall the talisman Yasenia previously used. 'How is that talisman related to this being?'

When looking into her soul, the only thing that could be observed was an infinite blood ocean filled with corpses, anguished souls, and a pair of blood-red Suns in the sky, as if they could see the Past, Present, and Future of everything under them.

Tatyana stopped her soul pressure and stepped back, allowing Tengliu to take a deep breath.

Tengliu was utterly horrified. "What are you? You are not a human. Also, how can you exert that pressure with such a weak body!? This doesn't make any sense!"

Tatyana returned to Yasenia's side and smiled. "Me? I'm just a worried mother. Don't worry about details~."

Yasenia's tail wagged, and she glomped Tatyana in her arms, purring while rubbing on her. "I love you, Mom."

Tengliu swore she would be more careful around Yasenia from now on.

'But with a mother like that, it is no wonder she is like she is now. They are probably not from this world.'

Tatyana nodded. "You are right, but keep it a secret."

Tengliu felt all the hairs and feathers in her body standing up. 'She can read my mind!?'

Tatyana blinked. "Well, the effects of the formation are very profound, and although I've removed it, I can still control the remaining circuits until they disappear... Oh. They are gone."

Tengliu tried to think of something. 'I'll kill her when I have a chance.'

But Tatyana didn't lie and didn't react to her test. Not that she would've either way. After all, only a stupid person would not think of that thought as a test.

Tengliu also used that thought because it was a test, but it could elicit Tatyana's reaction if she heard it.

Yasenia looked at the puffed-up Tengliu and muttered.

"Cute."

This interrupted the tension around, making Tatyana chuckle and Tengliu sigh.

She scratched her hair and sighed. "Ghana, all I can say is a good job finding these people."

Ghana was sweating out of nervousness, but her heart settled down now that the tension was cut. "Y-Yes, Matriarch. Although it is more precise to say they found me."

Finally, Yasenia asked. "Do you want to come with us?"
