Chapter 583. The Dragoness Finally Snaps.

After winning the item, Yasenia returned to her room and let her body fall onto the comfortable couch, her head landing on Cecile's lap. "Well, that went very well. I was prepared to lose all the fortune I amassed back there."

Cecile lifted her eyebrow and inserted her fingers in the dragoness's soft hair to tenderly massage the scalp. "We've lost about half of our profits. Are you really okay with it?"

Yasenia looked at her and smiled. "It is more than worth it. That technique might have limitations because of the attribute rarity and probably difficulty. However, we can use it quite easily."

Yasenia added to Cecile and Tatyana. 'Moreover, since I have the Sun attribute. My descendants will probably also have it. Also, the description says that the cultivator will be able to eventually absorb energy in the core of a star, which probably makes the technique compatible with the Star Attribute. If I find one with Moon attribute, I will be able to create an appropriate cultivation technique eventually.'

Tatyana asked aloud. "Little treasure, do you think you handled this correctly?"

Yasenia looked at Tatyana and nodded confidently. "I think I did. I might have been a bit too pushy, but the price would've probably escalated further if I wasn't like this."

Tatyana continued. "If they could win against you regardless, wasn't everything you did pointless? You would've been in a spot."

Yasenia agreed. "However, I saw that even Tengliu could only gather 27 million in a short amount of time. I gave a fair assumption that someone might have triple her money, which is about 81 million. Hence, I had a high chance of getting it."

Yasenia further explained. "Moreover, if they had more capital than me, being like this might have opened the door to me buying it for a favor. I was prepared to give a peak-level Heavenly item as extra payment for the power to resign and give me the treasure."

Tatyana smiled and nodded. "Very good, you thought it deeply."

Yasenia smiled back, and Tatyana commented. "But, if their power was not understanding and was an arrogant power that liked to throw their weight around, you could've offended them very deeply for not giving them enough respect."

Yasenia snorted. "So be it. Although I can't fight back right now, I still have my life-saving teleportation talisman. I can jump toward my mansion and then hide inside. The formations there should be strong enough to hold anyone back. Moreover, there is her."

Yasenia's eyes landed on Tengliu.

Tengliu's eyebrow twitched. "You wanted to get me involved like that?"

"Why not? You said that I could use your name as I liked, right?"

Tengliu sighed. "Cunning child."

Yasenia smirked.

Tatyana agreed and commented. "Have you taken into consideration that you are not a hidden and small power now? The little show you did has placed you in the spotlight, especially using the talisman's aura as a deterrent."

Yasenia nodded. "I couldn't gamble. My experience is not enough to guess how seniors think. What if one of them always carries their treasury with them? The purchasing power of an Empire's Royal Family should be in the billions. I needed to make a statement and buy favor. Buying that cultivation technique is enough reason to step out of hiding."

Tengliu commented. "Although it is true that our main powers have a lot of capital, most of it is used to keep the power going. If someone has one hundred million flawless Parus to spend freely, it would be considered a lot."

Yasenia touched her chin. "I see."

Tengliu laughed and threw herself on top of Yasenia, intending to fall on top of her while she lay down. However, Yasenia's tail reacted quickly and, with practiced motions, did a beautiful and ethereal arc.

Bang!

Tengliu's face met with the golden tail tip as her body flew to the side.

Everyone blinked, and Yasenia coughed. "Sorry, I'm accustomed to having this reaction."

Tengliu quickly moved and sat near Yasenia, completely ignoring the fact that she was tail slapped away. "It doesn't matter much, though. You were so beautiful back there! I really want to rain kisses on your beautiful face again~."

Yasenia's eyebrows twitched. "Please, spare me."

The dragoness sighed at the "abandoned puppy" expression the millennial harpy was making. 'At least she is controlling enough not to act on her desires without control or borders. It seems that once I say no, she will really stop. This is good… Tsk, why wasn't she like this since the beginning? Everything would be much less awkward.'

Yasenia heard the knock on the door, snapping her back from her thoughts. Tengliu smirked a bit mischievously and lay between the couch and Yasenia, hiding most of her body.

"What are you doing?"

Tengliu sniggered. "I will hide my presence and see what this person wants without taking me into account. Can you use that gorgeous and long tail to hide me?"

Yasenia rolled her eyes, but her tail moved and landed on top of her, hiding her upper body from sight.

Tatyana went to open the door.

The person at the door was a tall and handsome man with large brown-reddish wings on his back.

Cecile's eyes flickered. 'Phoenix bloodline. Quite weak, though.'

When he stepped inside, he put forth a broad smile, and before he could register who was in the room, the sight of Cecile made his pupils shrink, leaving him slightly speechless.

Yasenia's eyes flashed with hidden and suppressed emotions. 'You better not be a second Tengliu. You are not influential enough to make me back down.'

Carbira was stunned, but a look from the man silenced her.

The man stepped inside without saying a word and sat on an armchair in front of them.

Without making an effort to stand up from her lying position, Yasenia smiled. "Well, manners are quite not there, it seems. However, for your demeanor and low-level Epoch Core strength, I'm guessing you are the leader of this Auction house."

The man smiled and nodded. "You are right, Yasenia Dravory. To think that you allowed Miss Ghana to increase her strength to the High-Level Ethereal Soul realm so quickly, your power creates nothing but miracles."

Yasenia internally sneered. 'Did you learn it from those fraudulent cards to participate in the event? You must be frustrated I didn't insert my own energy, so I'm still a big question mark for you, right?'

Yet, her face showed a smile as she laughed politely. "Small things. Your power being able to set this up is the one who deserves praise."

He laughed, trying to appear generous, but Yasenia's sharp eyes felt pride and arrogance in that laugh. 'Did success this time get to his head? It wouldn't be strange considering how many powerful people attended.'

Yasenia's eyes flashed. 'However, how much of this is my influence? The many heaven-ranked treasures must've had a lot of influence.'

The man said. "That right, Lady Yasenia. I'm very happy with the event I managed to create. Even Royal Families from the Three Empires came. My humble name is Pei Zhang. I've come to speak about an alliance because of the number of items you presented."

Yasenia sat up without forgetting to use her long and thick tail to cover the not-small harpy "hiding" behind her. Then, she crossed her long legs and leaned back on the woman, ignoring the heavy breathing she was hearing.

"Well, let's hear it."

"Directly to the point, right? Hahaha."

Yasenia smiled. "No need to speak pleasantries. I find them out of place and vocabulary without meaning. It's better to go directly to the point."

The man nodded. "Hm, I agree. Then, let's not go in circles. I want to sign an alliance with your clan and be provided items from you. If we want to change powerful powers to regular customers, we need something unique to auction every time. Something that can tie them to us."

Yasenia's mind spun, and understood what was the thing he wanted.

However, she didn't stop him and asked. "For example?"

The man said, hiding the greed inside him. "The [Soul Enhancing Pills]. I don't know where your alchemist learned from, but the people I sent to your shop always come back with new discoveries. Hence, I would like to buy one of the unique pills and have a steady supply to sell them in the auction. Of course, I would pay generously."

Tatyana, at the side, wanted to laugh. 'No wonder his power stays as a low second-ranked power. So shameless and greedy. Does he take Yasenia as stupid or something?'

Yasenia naturally saw his attempt, and her smile thinned, her face becoming colder. "You want to buy the rights to sell it, meaning I would not be able to sell that specific pill myself, right?"

Pei Zhang flapped his wings once, making a small refreshing gale.

He smiled refreshingly and looked at Cecile handsomely. "Don't you think so too? The deal benefits both of us, and it is a win-win situation. Your matriarch would be able to rule over Koran City without problems."

Cecile's and Yasenia's noses twitched and smelled a lingering fragrance.

Yasenia's small smile completely disappeared as she looked at him increasingly coldly. 'Does everyone think that they can step on me as they like? I have yet to swallow the humiliation I received while facing Tengliu, and now this man is trying to afflict Cecile with this filthy scent!?'

The dragoness had always been on the brink of bursting into a rage for two days since she could do nothing about Tengliu.

Her pupils had become vertical lines as her aura involuntarily leaked.

Cecile and Tatyana looked at him coldly, and Tengliu and Ghana ignored him.

Tengliu thought that if she couldn't influence her mind, this man's attempt to influence Cecile or Yasenia subconsciously was nothing but a pathetic action that would only irk the sensitive dragoness. 'Well, thanks for becoming an outlet for the child to vent~.'

The man smiled calmly. "What do you say?"

Yasenia smiled widely, making him also smile, and she spat with dripping disdain. "You, pathetic creature that deserves nothing but death. You come here intending to practically fuck me in the ass and throw me into the garbage while telling me that the deal is worth it? Do you think I'm retarded? Do I look like a cultivator who has had a mental deviation while cultivating and has problems thinking straight? I was going to find you so that you could return the rest of the items in your care in a friendly manner, but now I want to do so much worse."

Carbira stiffened, Ghana's eyes opened, Cecile looked on coldly, Tatyana sneered, and the "hiding" Tengliu looked at him with pity.

The man was not much better, as he didn't expect this kind of reaction. "W-What?"

Yasenia continued smiling, but the man finally realized that her eyes were filled with disgust and anger. "Not only are you shameless, you are also deaf. Was my speech too complicated for a person who seems to lack the brain part in the soul? I'll give you a chance to dismantle your power from anywhere near me before I raze your fucking bullshit power to the ground."

Tengliu gulped in the back. 'So, I was saved from this reaction. Thank the heavens, I met with Yasenia when she was still weak and gained a second chance…'

Angel: Wow.

Evelyn: Wow.

Andrea: Wow.

Kali: Wow.

Cecile: Hmph.

Tatyana: Little treasure is so beautiful~.

Author: Welp. Yasenia finally snapped after being stomped on for so much time.

Angel: Yes… It's very rare for Yasenia to swear like that…

Evelyn: Now that you say it…

Andrea: So… Brilliant Auction House is no more?

Author: Who knows~. Anyway, I summon you!

Randomplant: Hello!

Evelyn: Hello! What's your question?

Randomplant: Tatyana, Valeria, Mirrory, I was wondering and wanted to ask.

Randomplant: Would Yasenia's Dual Cultivation technique make any difference if the girls and Tatyana used it as well, or would it not be necessary? And how much different is Yasenia's energy when using the technique compared to other cultivators?

Tatyana: It isn't necessary with this one. As said before, it is an extremely high-level technique, so if the partner allows Yasenia to completely take control, it isn't necessary to learn it.

Tatyana: As you should know, the girls' level of trust in her is basically bottomless. So, their dual cultivation is basically perfect.

Tatyana: Then, speaking about the difference in energy... Well, Yasenia is like someone a realm above herself, so it is nurturing to the extreme. Comparing it is like nectar or honey to mud.

Randomplant: That big of a difference?

Tatyana: If you take into account bloodline, constitution, etc. Yes. The difference is quite literally like the distance between heaven and earth.

Randomplant: I see.

Author: And that's all for today. Thanks for reading~.
