Chapter 1414. Leaving Lan City.

The morning of the following day, the sky finally cleared, and Tatyana descended from the sky. While she was refining this new, super general, she didn’t lose sight of her surroundings. So, she knew that Yasenia let those juniors go after getting their treasures.

Yasenia was patiently standing at the Lan Clan’s entrance, smiling as Tatyana descended. “How was it?”

“Fruitful.” Tatyana answered with a slightly cold smile. Yasenia was curious and approached. “Why the cold face?”

It wasn’t Tatyana who answered, but a heavily armored knight was standing by Tatyana’s side. “She can’t control it for now, Little Princess. Lady Tatyana brought out her negative emotions to refine Hakkan’s body and keep his talents. Hence, there is now a small backlash. Do not worry, though. The feeling will subside in a week or so.”

Yasenia glanced at the tall knight with ghostly green eyes shining through the visor and asked, curious. “You are… Lauren?”

The dragon knight brought his heels together and bowed respectfully. “I am indeed Lauren, the Death Empress’s Undead Grand Marshal. It is a pleasure to speak with you, Little Princess.”

Yasenia nodded, her eyes gleaming with a curious look. “In life, you were Tatyana’s first lover, right?”

Tatyana answered, her tone slightly cold. “Why do you care about that? Do you not trust me?”

The suddenness of Tatyana’s reaction startled Yasenia. The dragoness turned to look and saw Tatyana looking at her with cold and accusatory eyes. ‘Why did she… Ah.’

For others, Yasenia was as dense as a rock. However, her perceptiveness toward her lovers was sublime. So, she was quick to connect the dots. ‘Colder emotions evoke more of her previous natural self. This means that she is doubtful, jealous, skeptical, and paranoid regarding most things, especially feelings related to love.’

Yasenia smiled and grabbed Tatyana’s cold cheeks, squishing them with her hands. “What will you do if I doubt you, hm~?”

Tatyana’s red eyes darkened, an ominous, possessive, and dangerous feeling blooming from the pitch-black darkness of her pupils. “You better not, or you won’t see the light of day again.”

A burst of chills went up Yasenia’s spine. She had been subjected to Tatyana’s possessiveness in the past, but it was mild and slightly warm. Meaning, it was a loving possessiveness. However, this time around, all the hairs around her arms and nape stood up, feeling danger. A smile full of disbelief appeared on Yasenia’s face. “Wow. Those are some strong emotions!”

Tatyana squinted and asked, her voice still somewhat cold. “Why do you keep holding my face?”

Yasenia released her, but Tatyana’s eyes shone with even more dissatisfaction. “Why are you releasing my face?”

The dragoness was speechless for a second before she understood. With a laugh, she grabbed her face and approached, landing a rain of kisses on her cold and elegant face.

As if it were magic, the dissatisfaction behind Tatyana’s expression disappeared, returning to her cold and elegant expression. Yasenia squealed and hugged her tightly. “You are so cute, Mom! I love you the most!”

Tatyana didn’t answer, her face completely buried between Yasenia’s massive breasts. The dragoness could even feel how Tatyana was sniffing her cleavage quite greedily. Even her arms went around Yasenia’s soft waist, pulling herself deeper.

Our dragoness didn’t mind at all. She used her tail to pat Tatyana’s head while pulling her closer.

“This marks the end of the longer-than-expected stay in the Lan Family House. Who would’ve thought that a single flower would lead to such an abundant harvest!”

“Little Princess, where do you want to go now? We can move on my steed if you do not mind.” Lauren spoke in Tatyana’s stead. After all, the Death Empress was too preoccupied getting drunk with Yasenia’s fragrant body scent.

“Where is Tian Long?”

Lauren answered formally, his back straight. “Lord Tian Long is too large, so I thought that it would be a bit cumbersome to use Lord Tian Long’s back. My steed can shrink to an acceptable level, making it less high-profile.”

Yasenia chuckled. “High-profile? Tatyana has already battled and killed a Demigod. What is more high-profile than that? Still, I’ll heed your suggestion. Let’s go on your ride!”

Lauren nodded and looked up with his glowing green eyes. Yasenia was curious as well and looked up.

From beyond the clouds, a gargantuan western dragon over 10 kilometers long appeared. His pitch-black scales were covered in armor made of ancient metal. This metal was matte black, contrasting the shiny scales below. The green light of the dragon’s eye spilled out of the helmet, creating a fog that followed his movement.

The giant armored dragon stopped 20 kilometers from the city’s skyline. Its gargantuan wings, edged with sharp, spiky armor, blotted the sky, casting a shadow over a large section of the city.

Yasenia nodded and turned back to look at Lan Shuyao, still holding Tatyana in her arms. “Lady Lan, we will leave here. It was a pleasure knowing you. I hope that you can make it to the tournament 2 years later.”

Lan Shuyao smiled. “If there are no pressing matters, I will certainly go.”

The dragoness paused for a moment and threw one jade slip at Lan Shuyao. “Do not feel pressured. But if you are able to complete that task, I will owe you one favor.”

Lan Shuyao blinked and nodded, checking the contents. ‘Ho~? She wants me to search for some people? Hm… It shouldn’t be too complicated.’

Seeing how Yasenia flew up with Tatyana in her arms, followed by Lauren and Cai Xue, Lan Shuyao smiled. ‘Good luck, little girl. Thank you for bringing back color to my life.’

Behind Lan Shuyao, the ancestor commented. “Is it okay this way?”

“Yes.” Lan Shuyao turned around, her long red hair flowing with her movements. “Our meeting is fleeting, so there is no use in trying to deepen our bond.”

Ancestor Lan shook his head. “You know that I don’t mean it that way.”

Lan Shuyao just smiled, a wave of her hand closing the main doors with an imposing and loud sound.

***

Yasenia sat on the dragon’s head with Lauren and Cai Xue behind her. Tatyana was curled in her arms, still sniffing and licking her skin. While Yasenia didn’t care, she was honestly getting too horny.

Having her beautiful woman in her arms and acting like this made her dragon down below so stiff that it was about to burst. Before she spoke, Tatyana looked up, and her eyes flashed with a faint pink aura.

At that moment, Yasenia’s reason seemed to be cut for an instant. She didn’t even care where they were as she pushed Tatyana down and devoured her mouth, ripping off her own clothes and Tatyana’s.

Lauren and Cai Xue blinked once, then turned around and sealed off their hearing. They reduced their presence as much as possible, the last thing they saw being Tatyana’s slightly smug and evil, possessive smile.

The dragon continued its journey, feeling rhythmic hits on top of its head. Of course, he didn’t dare say anything or even move his head.

It was only six hours later that the rhythmic hits stopped.

Cai Xue and Lauren turned around and saw Yasenia flopped down like a starfish, her cheeks sunken as if her soul had almost been sucked out of her. By her side, Tatyana sat comfortably, her face adorned with a light and alluring blush. There was even a satisfied smile at the corner of her otherwise cold expression.

Tatyana spoke to Lauren. “Has the ancestor concocted the pills?”

Lauren nodded with no change of expression below his helmet. “We have all of them, Lady Death Empress. They are all flawless-quality and with eight Tribulation Marks.”

“Eight?” Tatyana’s eyebrows furrowed. “An ancestor at the second level, almost the third, of the Seventh Realm can’t concoct some Transcendence Ranked pills at the maximum nine tribulation marks?”

Lauren nodded and spoke. “Lord Lan was also surprised. It seems that to perfect these pills, one needs an extremely high attainment in the pill-dao. Therefore, his best result, even after trying a few times, was flawless with eight marks.”

Tatyana picked nine pill jars Lauren presented, each with a set of Star Pills, and looked inside. ‘Three are flawless with seven Tribulation Marks, and the other six have eight marks.’

“Hm…” Tatyana pondered for a few moments. “If it is that hard to create them perfectly, there must be a secret behind these pills. After all, they can be considered an inheritance from a Demigod powerhouse. Sui Xing, come out for a second.”

Sui Xing materialized, his handsome face and calm eyes looking at Tatyana with a hint of reproach. “You used [Love Law] back then, didn’t you?”

Tatyana’s eyebrow raised faintly. “I did. But I only inhibited Yasenia’s desire to hold back. What she did during the last six hours was vent her desires.”

At the side, Yasenia spoke with a croak. “I can’t move…”

Sui Xing sighed. “Well, you two are lovers, so I won’t poke my nose where it doesn’t belong. Still, as Yasenia’s treasure, I want to ask you to do this sparingly. The amount of Yin Energy she got from you is enough to last her for two months.”

Tatyana smirked. “Can you blame me? She was so passionate that I couldn’t hold back at all.”

Sui Xing shook his head. “Anyway, you’ve called me to ask about the Five Star Pills, right?”

“That’s it.”

“Many of the treasures and trials my previous owner left behind in his inheritance are unknown to me. I only knew where they were and how to approach the trials. The owner made it as such so that there wouldn’t be too many unfair advantages to those who got one of the treasures.”

Tatyana nodded and asked. “What do you think? Should Yasenia eat these? Or do we wait to find someone who can concoct them perfectly?”

Sui Xing was unsure. “It will always boil down to, can the advantages you can get by consuming it now outweigh the reward for waiting and perfecting it? While I am unsure if their perfect forms have some special ability, I personally think that it’s worth the wait.”

The man glanced down at the sprawled dragoness and smiled. “If she had a mediocre foundation, I would say that she should consume it now. Still, I believe that she is plenty strong as she is. Special enhancements will be of much more value to someone of Yasenia’s talent.

Tatyana nodded. “I was thinking the same.” Then, she caressed Yasenia’s head with her fingers and spoke. “We’ll leave these in your ring. Alright? If you have something like a disciple or something like that in the future, you can use them as rewards.”

Her tail wagged floppily at her touch. Then, she answered while purring, the low growl-like sound making Tatyana’s ears tingle. “Grr~… I can use them for little Feixue and the others. Grrr...”

A faint smile appeared on Tatyana’s cold face. “Alright. Destination, Crimson Lotus Hall Sect!”

Yasenia blinked. “Huh?”

Tatyana smiled coldly. “These weaklings dared to push the Dragon Hunters onto you. Naturally, we have to make them pay. Let’s give the world a good warning that, if they want to manipulate things from behind the scenes, they must be very careful not to let us see the threads. Otherwise, the fire will climb through those and burn them whole.”
