Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 682: Chapter 682. Second Challenge, Du Xian. Unexpected situation?

After exiting, Yasenia looked at the list and saw Xiang Yinnu's name becoming red, while a message saying she won appeared beside her name.

Reading messages of other fights, she realized that surrendering was an option. 'Did Xiang Yinnu know?'

Shaking her head, the dragoness continued to look at the list and saw that all her girls had also been challenged. Thankfully, they've all won for now.

If Yasenia had to be objective, the weakest one of them would probably be Sierra. But even she was a pure beast mutated via the nurturing of a Thunder Soul for hundreds of years.

Of course, Yasenia was not confident if someone as strong as Xiang Yinnu challenged them. 'If I remember correctly, I have an hour of rest before I can be rechallenged, right? How much time is left before the monster waves open?'

The initial five hours they had fell to four and fifteen minutes.

Knowing that she had more than enough time, the first thing she did was look into a mirror naked to see her wounds.

After a while, she nodded and approached the recovery fountain at the side, carefully washing them with the healing spring water.

Gently caressing her scars with the water as she sat on the edge of the spring, Yasenia healed her pristine appearance in twenty minutes.

Then, she wore her revealing blue dress again and went to the bed to sit cross-legged and recover. 'I've used another Celestial Skill... With the remaining energy, I can release another three or four of them. I must use them wisely.'

She reviewed the battle with Xiang Yinnu in her head, thinking of ways that would've made the battle easier. 'I used things accurately, but I also gambled a few times. Even if I was confident she would fall for it, I could've been in danger if her reactions were quicker.'

Yasenia released her breath slowly, energy cycling in her body and nourishing her while also filling the Dantian. 'My use of energy is also a bit reckless. Not every sword strike needs to have a skill attached to it. If any other cultivator did what I do, their Dantians would dry up in a few minutes. Of course, since my natural energy regeneration is very high, using skills while keeping my energy lake fluctuating between 70-90 percent should be the best unless we are in the last stretch of the battle.'

While opening her alluring eyes, Yasenia smiled. 'Even then, the fight was a general success. I'm very happy with the results. My understanding of my intents, skills, and self have also increased a lot.'

Then, thinking of her wounds, the dragoness's luscious lips arched. 'Thankfully, the girls couldn't see me, or they might have felt anxious. I need to avoid wounds to the face if they are present.'

After the timer for her challenge ended, one arrived in an instant. Her vision fluctuated, and she landed on an arena similar to the previous one. However, the combat scars were completely healed from the ground. 'Interesting, does each person have an arena? I should've asked my dears if their arena was the same as mine.'

Then, the message finally arrived.

[You've been challenged by rank 921, Du Xian.]

'Huh? Rank 921? Does this person have a death wish?'

The dragoness hastily looked at her opponent, being on guard for the strange encounter. Yet, when she saw her opponent, her eyebrows arched. 'Oh? I know this woman.'

In front of her, an incredibly adorable squirrel woman stood with a solemn face that didn't suit her facial features and was holding two daggers.

She was very short, with a slim body, a pretty face, brown eyes and hair, rounded animal ears on top of her head, and a fluffy brown tail.

Even while not letting her guard down, Yasenia only wanted to hug and pet her until that serious facial expression melted. 'So cute!'

Not forgetting that she was her opponent, Yasenia analyzed her and was surprised. She asked aloud. "A low-level Epoch Core cultivator? Why are you in the bottom half of the competition?"

The woman was also confused and asked back. "Rather than that, how can a High-level Ethereal Soul Realm be in the second place?"

Yasenia laughed. "Say, haven't you read the messages at the side of the list?"

Du Xian tilted her head, and the confusion on her pretty face only made her look cuter. "What messages? I just exited my first fight and saw that you were free, so I challenged you before anybody else could take the chance."

Yasenia remembered that to see the fighting conditions, one had to approach the list and look closely. Her eyes danced with amusement. 'So, she doesn't know I faced Xiang Yinnu?'

The dragoness smiled and thought about how to fight her. 'I can't feel killing intent from her, so she probably wants a fair match without taking lives. How do I tackle her?' Then, her eyes flashed with mixed emotions of interest and coldness. 'It has been a while, but...'

After Du Xian asked, Yasenia's body appeared to soften as her aura became more sensual, her lips arched in a seductive smile, and her body leaned forward, allowing a few strands of her glossy black hair to drape forward, showing her ample breasts. At the same time, she shook her chest slowly in a tantalizing motion that followed her slow and tempting tail movements.

"Why am I second? What messages? If you let me cuddle with you, I might answer~."

The woman's squirrel tail was long and wide, curling upward, and covered with shiny and smooth fur, making Yasenia eager to touch it. After all, her preference for women had always been short, cute, and huggable women.

Naturally, she was not interested in a romantic way, nor was she seducing her to get close in a physical way. Behind the dragoness's allure existed a hidden edge of danger.

Yet, the squirrel woman didn't sense the edge, only being hit by Yasenia's powerful pheromones and enthralling aura.

Her stern face blushed as an involuntary heartbeat made her blood warmer. "A-Are you trying to seduce me!? I-I have a husband!"

Yasenia approached step by step, her wide hips swaying together with her upper body and tail. Moreover, as if her charming, sashaying actions were not enough, she purposely lowered her voice an octave, adding a natural raspiness to her attractive and mellow voice while allowing her bloodline to gently pour out together with her scent.

"Don't worry, I also have wives~. My intentions are pure, Du Xian. I just want to cuddle with a cute girl like you."

The squirrel woman's eyes moved from side to side while following the motion of the large and soft-looking breasts and hips. 'C-Cuddle together? It might not be that bad... Wait, no! I-I like males. Why is this dragoness tempting me!?'

"Du Xian, why are you looking at me with such a cold stare?"

The soft whine and pitiful-looking eyes made Du Xian's daggers tremble in her grasp while the blush on her face deepened. "You, s-stay away! I-I'll attack!"

However, she couldn't help but gulp when the wide hips hypnotically accompanied the swaying large breasts in a dance of enthralling seduction. Moreover, the sweet, floral scent that hit her nose made her brain dizzy and hot, sending a tingly feeling around her entire body. 'O-Oh... S-Such a nice scent...'

Yasenia reached before Du Xian, looking down at the almost two-head shorter woman with a seductive smile and soft eyes. "Come here, Du Xian. Let's cuddle together~. If we do so, I will reward you."

Yet, behind the dragoness, the tail tip hardened and changed to a spear shape, while deep in her golden eyes, a cold ruthlessness flashed for a moment too small for the dizzy Du Xian to react. 'Three more steps...'

The squirrel woman's dagger tips were pointed at Yasenia. Still, they were trembling as her entire body was surrounded by the alluring aura of the Progenitor Beast Queen, which made her instincts cry with delight just for being looked at by Yasenia's tender eyes. 'U-Uh... W-we could hug, no?'

As they grew closer, the scent was overpowering, and Du Xian's daggers fell a bit while her tail wagged cutely.

Yasenia extended her arms, a hidden, cold glint appearing in her golden eyes. "Good girl~. Place your daggers aside and come into my arms."

Yasenia's pupils thinned, and she was about to attack. 'She is probably going to snap out of it now and attack. At that moment, I'll retaliate- Huh?' But something unexpected happened.

As the sound of the dragoness's praise reached her ears, the squirrel girl placed her sword aside and rushed forward, burying her face into Yasenia's chest and rubbing her face on them. "Oh~. So comfy~, so nice~."

The dragoness's tail, which was about to attack, froze in position while Yasenia looked down speechlessly at the woman hugging her. 'Ha?'

Seeing that Du Xian was lifting her head, Yasenia corrected her expression to the previous seductive and tender one, and without relaxing her tail, she moved one hand to caress the top of the petite woman's head.

Du Xian rubbed against her hand like a small animal, and a cute sound escaped her throat while her eyes squinted in delight. "So nice~."

A few seconds ago, when Du Xian's head got buried in the dragoness's breasts, and the lethal sweet scent filled her nostrils, her taut nerves relaxed as her body sunk into a world of softness and happiness. 'I want to hug her forever~.'

Yasenia's golden eyes flashed with surprise and confusion. In truth, she was trying to use seduction to give her a lethal attack and win the battle in one hit.

Although she was confident, the opponent was an Epoch Core cultivator. Her strength was a complete mystery because of her low rank, either very problematic to deal with or very easy to deal with. She didn't want to risk the use of Celestial Energy, so using one of her strengths, her beauty, was a way to do so.

However, she didn't expect her seduction to work!

'Didn't this woman just say that she has a husband? But...' She curiously touched her smooth hair and furry tail, and her lips arched. 'Wow, her tail is so soft.'

After thinking for a few seconds, Yasenia took out a comfortable armchair and sat, placing the woman even smaller than Angel on her lap and petting her. She fit snugly between her arms, making Yasenia chuckle.

The daggers held by the squirrel woman had long fallen to the ground, and Du Xian had fallen to her instincts without a chance to retaliate.

Yasenia asked with a smile. "Where do you like scratches, Du Xian? On the root of your tail? On the back of your cute ears?"

"B-Both." Du Xian stuttered with a red face, and Yasenia started caressing her.

Du Xian groaned in delight when Yasenia's long fingers skillfully stroked her, and her body melted completely in her arms. 'So happy~.'

The woman's thoughts about the fight were long gone, as Yasenia's overpowering floral scent and bloodline had essentially rewired her brain into liking the dragoness.

Yasenia never intentionally used her seduction besides her unconscious gestures because of her dears and lack of interest in anything outside her circle. On the contrary, she was always holding back her scent and bloodline influence on purpose.

But, if she used it, this was the true extent of her attractiveness to beast humans. When she really tried, an Epoch Core cultivator didn't really last long before she was purring in the arms of the dragoness.

Of course, mentally, Du Xian was not that strong. If she had tried this with Xiang Yinnu, Yasenia wouldn't have succeeded as quickly. She would need to cook her for at least a few hours, which, even then, relatively speaking, was not that much.

Furthermore, Du Xian was a rarity among her race for even reaching the Epoch Core realm as her bloodline level was shallow. She was a mere Peak-level Monarch Beast. Remember that the ranks went from Monarch to Mystical to Legendary, then Mythical, Divine, and finally Ancient. Meanwhile, Yasenia was a peak-level Ancient Beast.

With five large realms between their bloodlines and Yasenia being a progenitor and a dragon, Du Xian's body was now dancing in joy at being embraced by a superior beast without any chance of feeling malice for her unless Yasenia attacked her.

Frankly put, it was a type of involuntary brainwashing that had no harmful consequences as it didn't really change the personality besides adding "I like Yasenia" to her thoughts.

As shown by her actions, Du Xian was a very cuddly and soft woman, so now that she hopelessly liked Yasenia, she was also acting cute and cuddly with her.

Meanwhile, unaware of the extent of her effect on the woman between her arms, Yasenia heard her groan with happiness when she caressed her, and her golden eyes shone with playfulness and amusement. 'Ah~, she is so cute! What to do? I suddenly don't want to kill her. Maybe... Can I become friends with her? She would be the first friend I've made in years!'

With the wishful thinking of making a friend, Yasenia continued petting the purring squirrel girl between her arms, who was rubbing her face on her skin and sniffing her with a blushed face.

*************************************************************

The girls: Love~.

Yasenia: C-Cough, yes?

Angel: Is she cute?

Yasenia: Why does your question sound so bone-chilling, baby? I just want to be friends with her!

Angel: Hugging and petting her?

Yasenia: Yes? What other way is there?

The girls: ...

Tatyana: Well, her knowledge of making very close friends is very different...

Andrea: What do you mean?

Tatyana: Don't you remember that she even gave naked massages to Linda or even the fans? There was that accident where a fan licked her di-.

Yasenia: Cough. That was an accident.

Angel: Linda?

Tatyana: The woman she met at the tournament and was competing for the last harem spot with Kali. She is one of Yasenia's few close friends.

Kali: I remember her. Yasenia even hugs her closely and gives her kisses on the cheek, right? Now that you say it... She has always been a dragoness who likes skinship.

Andrea: Little Angel, forgetting her is a bit...

Angel: *Blushes* It has been a while, okay?

Author: It has also been a while for our readers, hahaha. I summon you!

????: Hello!

Evelyn: Another anonymous. Hello!

?????: This is a question for Kali. Kali, since the scars are the result of incomplete regeneration of the flesh and skin, what is stopping you from chipping away at them with your energy and using your healing abilities to replace them with flesh and perfect skin? After all, Angel, Evelin, and Andrea aren't covered in scars every time you heal them.

Kali: Well, believe it or not, the scars have a poison I have yet to break down. While it is not really harmful, the toxin makes it impossible to heal as it has etched the scars on my "being." Healing works by reshaping the body into the shape of the soul, allowing the body to know how and what to heal. When I use healing on my body, it returns to the scarred form.

?????: Oh?

Kali: Yes. Either way, it's much better than when I met with Yasenia since her Dual Cultivation has purifying skills. Therefore, only the appearance change remains while the pain and any other adverse effects have long disappeared.

Kali: Furthermore... I don't really hate the scars that much. So, I'm not giving it priority. Naturally, I will heal them eventually, but not for now.

?????: What do you mean?

Kali: These scars, while they are part of my past trauma, are also a reason why I managed to meet Yasenia. Moreover, with the amount of affection that Yasenia pours on them, licking them, kissing them, caressing them... I feel a bit reluctant to lose them. Plus, they keep suitors away since my appearance is not as beautiful as before.

Yasenia: You'll heal them.

Kali: ...

Yasenia: I want you to be 100% healthy, honey.

Kali: *Looking at her lovingly.* Sigh, I will.

?????: Thanks for answering, Kali. We also want to see you wholly healed soon, so work hard!

Kali: Haha, I will.

Author: That's all for today. Bye-bye!
