Heaven, Earth, Me

Yasenia is a child born different from the rest, her mother, Tatyana, used an ancient technique she found to absorb the world's energy to get pregnant instead of having regular intercourse. Her objective was to create a lover for herself since the endless years of solitude and all the heartbreaks covered her heart with eternal ice. While pregnant, a strange soul seems to try to seize the body of her child to be reborn; a shame that Tatyana is someone not to be messed with. In her rage, she destroys the sense of self and memories, leaving only a husk of the soul, and uses it to nourish Yasenia. What Tatyana didn't know at that time was that this would change Yasenia in ways she never expected.

Chapter 986. Money Talks.

After Yasenia made her offer, the tall and slender woman began pondering. Yasenia's offer was very tempting. However, unlike what Yasenia thought, she didn't have the ability to call her master at will. The only way for her to call her master and have him actually appear was if she managed to sell everything in this shop. 

So, thinking of that, she spoke. "How many of those purple crystals do you have?"

Yasenia blinked and asked. "Why? Asking me how much money I have is not quite nice."

"Hm… With that answer, you should have more than 1,000 of them, right?" 

The dragoness crossed her arms below her chest and snorted. "Hey, you little brat, do you think that trying to get an answer from me with indirect methods will work? Tell me why you asked the question, and if the answer is good enough, I'll answer." 

The slender woman looked at the dragoness's highlighted chest with baffled eyes. Because the robes were relatively loose, she couldn't really tell how big they truly were. Now, not only her but even the people behind were gaping at Yasenia's impressive size. 

'How can she swing a weapon with those?' 

The dragoness slapped the ground with her tail, creating a loud sound that snapped everyone out of their daze. "Stop looking at my breasts and answer me! I really don't want to do the same thing I did to you before."

The tall woman's body shivered when she remembered that powerful pressure. The only pressure that she had ever felt and was stronger was her master's pressure. "Well… Unless I sell all my merchandise for a fair price, then I can't call master here." 

A guard behind Lady He asked lowly. "Lady, why are we still here?" 

Lady He answered with a baffled expression. "Do you think anyone else in this city other than those four up above the clouds is more important than this unique dragon that's chasing after one of those four?"

The guards that were starting to get impatient coughed, recovering their stances and focusing on Yasenia's and the tall woman's conversation.

The dragoness hummed. "Well, we've talked quite a while, but I still don't have your name."

"Money." 

Yasenia frowned. "You want money for something as basic as asking your name?" 

The tall woman shook her head. "My master gave me this name."

Yasenia rolled her eyes. "The person who gave me my name would be able to flick your master to another Solar System, and I didn't ask for money!"

The tall woman spoke, a bit frustrated but without losing her bored tone. "Money is the name my master gave me."

The dragoness was about to become impatient, but suddenly, she paused, and her eyes flashed with surprise. "Wait… 'Money' is your name?"

The tall woman's frustrated expression eased, and she nodded twice. "Yes. Money is my name."

Everyone in the room went silent again, unable to comprehend. Well, everyone except Yasenia. "Ohhh! That's a nice name. Knowing that you are very good with treasures etc, he gave you a very proper name!"

Kali somehow could see Ayanduin and Yasenia laughing and agreeing about stupid names in the future, making her stomach twist. 'There is a second lineage with Dravory-level naming sense…'

Money looked at Yasenia with surprise and then nodded quickly. "Right, right. Nobody gets it!" Even her usual bored tone became a bit more spirited. "Whenever I tell my name to people, they always either laugh or look at me strangely!" 

Yasenia snorted. "Bah! Those people just can't tell what's good. It's an awesome name." The dragoness continued. "So, Money, you said that you need to sell all the merchandise so that Ayanduin appears here, right?"

Money nodded. "Yes… I was asking how many purple crystals you had because if you had enough to buy everything, we could make something interesting." 

The dragoness raised her eyebrows and asked. "Well, tell me how much everything here is worth, and I'll tell you if I have enough."

Lady He's facial expression changed slightly. 'Does she have many more of those precious purple crystals? How rich is this woman?'

Money calculated. "Let's see… We have one of those and another of these… There are many thousands of ingredients for several pills… I also have many tons of a few interesting minerals and… Oh, right, there are these few medicines and poison pill jars. Then, there are the weapons, armors, robes…" 

Money continued listing many items, making everyone start to sweat cold. 'Did her master want her to sell everything under the Heavens or something?' 

Kali commented strangely. "I somehow feel that Ayanduin doesn't want to see Money soon, so he just dumped a big part of his own spatial ring on her to get rid of responsibilities." 

Nobody could really deny it. 

Yasenia inspected the little figure that she had bought in the meantime. 'Hm, what are you, eh? It's almost as valuable as a peak-level Heaven Rank item. However, I can feel that you are more valuable than what Money said.'

She tried gently using her energy to move parts of it, but nothing really moved. Then, she tried pouring energy into it, ending in failure once more. 'Hm… Blood? But if it is a cursed item, I will be in a bit of trouble.'

Her nose could smell the value of an item, but she couldn't sense as accurately if something would be harmful to her. There would be specific signals to warn of very strong threats, but it was difficult for milder or longer-lasting ones. 

While thinking about that, she remembered. 'Hm? Can I use that method Mirrory taught me about? It is quite a nice way to sense the intentions of places towards you. I wonder if it can do the same with items?'

Her energy moved around her body in a gentle pattern, trying to mix with the World's energy. Then, she spread it outward and harmonized with the surroundings. 

A gentle hum appeared around her, and her entire body felt illusory. Her robes fluttered beautifully, catching the attention of everyone in the shop, including other customers who were walking around.

Then, she extended the hand that was not holding the figure and touched it. 

Ding~.

A very melodic sound echoed around, making everyone stop as they looked at the dragon's expertise in energy manipulation.

Lady He asked Kali. "What is she doing?"

Kali answered softly. "Karma reading."

An invisible aura that only Yasenia's group could read appeared around the item. It was a very mystical and profound feeling, like the echoes of a starry sky. There was a very tame yet somewhat menacing aura in the depths of the aura. However, it felt so weak and listless that most creatures would've ignored it.

The dragoness squinted when she felt this aura. It being faint didn't mean that it wasn't dangerous. If she fed her blood to the item, this energy would force that weak presence to awaken and absorb her blood; everything could go awry very quickly.

Valeria spoke at this time. "No wonder you were attracted to this item. It is something extraordinary."

Yasenia blinked and looked at Valeria. "Oh? Something extraordinary even for you?"

Valeria smiled. "If Kali didn't have an inheritance prepared for her already, I would've wanted that item for her."

The dragoness had two questions after hearing Valeria. "This item is an inheritance? Also… Kali has an inheritance prepared for her?"

Valeria nodded. "Of course. You wouldn't think that I would leave nothing for my future masters, no?"

Kali coughed. "I mean, your own self is already quite a strong advantage. Knowledge from an ancient senior and a powerful summon that can basically fight several levels above her own. A strong healer that has almost no match in the same realm and a combat support that can make creatures use 200% of their potential." 

Yasenia grinned. "Also, a gorgeous companion~." 

Kali agreed. "Indeed." 

Meanwhile, Money was looking at the small figurine in Yasenia's hands with a baffled expression. The dragoness felt her gaze and asked. "Is there something wrong?"

Money nodded. "Yes. Why is the value of the item varying so much? I can't… Huh? Now it is four million Sunderials, and now it is a few Earth coins… What is going on?" 

Yasenia's eyebrow raised and she thought. 'Well, I don't want it.' 

Money frowned. "Now it is back to 40 Sunderials worth…" 

Yasenia squinted and thought. 'Nevermind, I'll take it back home instead of using it myself.'

"HUH? What is this!? Value is incalculable?"

The dragoness's eyes flashed. 'I see. So, her constitution can measure the value of items due to their Fate. If someone like me, who is outside of Fate, buys it, she won't know the price it will have until I decide what to do with it. If I am involved with it…' Yasenia thought. 'I'll take it for myself.'

Money deadpanned. "Now it is worthless."

Yasenia's lips twitched. 'Okay, even though I know it has no value in her eyes because I am the one using it, it feels a bit bad hearing that.' 

Money scratched her head. "Is my constitution broken?"

Yasenia laughed softly. "Don't worry. Everything is working nicely. Look, now it should cost 40 again."

Money looked, and indeed, its price had gone back to 40 Sunderials. "Huh? How did you know?"

"Who knows~?" Yasenia teased, and then she commented. "Okay, then, how much is the entire shop?"

Money spoke. "345,541 of your Purple Crystals."

Yasenia's heart tightened. 'S-So much money, ugh. How many do I have left?"

Her Warship used those crystals as fuel, so she didn't have her original 500,000. 'Hm… I've spent 2,431 Purple Crystals…' 

The dragoness sighed. "Is it really worth it to pay so much to see that guy? I don't even know if he will even stop to listen when I ask him to."

Money muttered. "I can ask him to stay if you want. To be honest, this part of the test is quite strange. After all, my master was supposed to teach me personally next. But he suddenly changed opinions after he came back." 

Yasenia smiled under the veil and tip-toed to pat her head. "Well, don't be sad. I am sure he did so with you in mind. While he is a merchant, you are probably one of his most valuable people. Your constitution is so rare and powerful. I am sure that he cares about you."

Money pouted. "He only cares about me because of the constitution."

The dragoness raised her eyebrow. "Do you care about items that don't have any worth? For example, that stool that you were selling there, do you care about it? Or would you have thrown it out of your shop if you had the chance?"

Money blinked, and Yasenia smiled. "Your value is inherent. It is something that is part of the whole 'you.' Therefore, Ayanduin valuing your constitution is the same as him valuing you. I, for example, know that my beauty is a weapon, a blessing, and sometimes, a curse. However, that doesn't stop me from showing my beauty because it is part of myself. You were also interested in me in the first place because my scales are probably worth a lot, right?"

Money nodded. "One Sunderial per ten grams!"

Lady He's eyes widened, and she blurted. "What? That makes it more valuable than some peak-level Heaven Ranked ores!"

Yasenia chuckled. "So, Money. I am sure that Ayanduin cares about you more than just your constitution. But, even if it is not that way, try to make it that way. Make other parts of yourself more valuable." 

Money hummed. "I see…" She smiled very faintly and said. "Thanks… Senior."

Yasenia nodded. "You are welcome, junior."
