Heaven, Earth, Me

After Tatyana fell asleep, Cecile and the rest stood up and left the living room with a gentle smile. They didn’t mind Yasenia’s declaration; they knew who Yasenia loved the most.

When they closed the door, Andrea spoke, “We also have to become stronger. The last thing I want is to become a burden for Yasenia and Tatyana.”

The rest nodded. Cecile said, “Evelyn, Angel, let’s go to the training room. Andrea and I will coach you. Since we don’t need to sleep, let’s use the nights Yasenia can’t be with us to cultivate.”

Evelyn nodded and said, “The good thing is that as Yasenia approaches our level, her Yang energy becomes exponentially stronger.”

Angel said with a smile, “Yasenia’s Yang energy is a delish~. It nourishes our bodies, strengthens our foundation, and speeds up our cultivation.”

Angle shyly said, “It is also delicious~.”

The others chuckled, and Andrea sighed with a smile, “She is a walking cultivation treasure. The best thing is that besides pleasure, her energy isn’t invasive and harmful. It upgrades our strength smoothly and gently. I’ve also noticed my sexual stamina building up, so my Yin energy is also getting stronger.”

Cecile said with a gentle smile, “We are very lucky to have her.” She chuckled and continued, “I sometimes want to hide her in my pocket from the world so that other people stop coveting her.”

Angel repeatedly nodded, completely agreeing. However, Andrea and Evelyn raised an eyebrow at that statement, but they didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, Yasenia looked down at Tatyana’s sleeping visage in the living room with a soft smile. Yasenia moved with Tatyana in her arms until she was beside the window, making the moonlight cover the mother and daughter with a silver blanket.

Yasenia traced the contour of her mother’s face, looking at her long eyelashes and the shadows that the moonlight made with them on her face. Tatyana’s facial features were relaxed, with her mouth slightly opened, and her breathing was even.

Yasenia cradled Tatyana with her arms and tail and hummed a soft tune that Tatyana sang to her when she was little. Her voice filled the living room with a soft and slow melody, giving a peaceful ambient to the living room, letting Tatyana sleep peacefully.

Yasenia began thinking about the end of her travel when she finally achieved her objective. ‘I will have to build a place where our family can live peacefully in the future. Passing our days together, cooking together, maybe we could have a little garden and grow different things as we see our children run around…’

A natural smile formed on Yasenia’s face; she really liked that future.

Yasenia kept thinking about things that they could do, away from the cultivation world, the never-ending fight for supremacy, the never-ending cycle of hatred, revenge, death, and betrayal.

However, for that scenery to become true, she needed strength. She needed to be part of the cultivation world, become stronger, and reach a level where other people won’t bother them. ‘I will keep advancing, even if I have to become….’

Yasenia shook her head and put those thoughts apart. The road was long, and she was just at the starting point. ‘I haven’t even seen clearly a senior cultivator strength… Teacher Mason’s display was just a single attack. Will it shock me?’

Yasenia’s face hardened, ‘Even if it shocks me, I won’t let it put me down too long. I will push forward and come out stronger!’

These thoughts will become her determination, her drive to push through hell, and her strength to overcome future trials.

Yasenia wanted to become Tatyana’s strongest ally and become strong enough to live peacefully with her family.

The time passed, and the sunset orange glow illuminated the pair. Tatyana didn’t wake up, and Cecile and the others didn’t bother them. Yasenia just kept humming softly, giving her a soft kiss from time to time. When the moon was high up in the sky, and the silver glow surrounded them, Yasenia fell asleep, but her arms and tail didn’t lose strength, keeping Tatyana safe and steady in her arms.

This night, the moon watched over them, letting them rest the whole night peacefully.

When morning neared, Tatyana woke up groggily, ‘I fell… asleep? How many years has it been since I slept? I can’t remember…’

Tatyana opened her eyes and looked at their position. After seeing how Yasenia held her, her smile turned tender and loving. ‘Has she been cradling me since yesterday afternoon?’

She looked up at Yasenia. Her sleeping face was gentle, without a hint of her usual seductiveness. Her sweet scent right now only relaxed her senses, as if even her scent changed qualities to make Tatyana’s sleep more comfortable.

Inside Tatyana’s eyes, a new glitter appeared one that hadn’t appeared in millennia inside her red eyes. ‘I think… It is worth fighting again against fate instead of flowing through it. I should start cultivating seriously again.’

Tatyana chuckled, ‘I hope my senses didn’t rust after all these years.’

Tatyana didn’t move and waited for Yasenia to wake up. She just gazed at her daughter’s face, burning into her mind every detail of it. Even if it were a face that she had already looked at again and again these last years, Tatyana would never get tired of looking at her daughter.

Her every expression, mood change, or struggle, Tatyana wanted to see them.

Yasenia naturally woke up before sunrise. Her dazed golden slit eyes focused and looked down. Two pairs of eyes meet. Yasenia observed, quietly.

This time, the red eyes had a hidden strength in them, as if a dormant ancient beast had awakened, ready to take the cultivation world like a storm again. Yasenia’s eyes curved into crescents and said, “Good morning. I see that you woke up.”

Tatyana raised her eyebrow and said, “Yes, it was a nice and lengthy sleep.”

The others entered the living room softly, and seeing that they both were awake, they moved walked toward them. Angel made a little run, and Tatyana and Yasenia opened their arms. The golden bullet jumped into their embrace, and mother and daughter wrapped their arms around her. Yasenia said, “Good morning, baby, sorry for not accompanying you yesterday night. I fell asleep here.”

Tatyana chuckled, “It seems I was able to steal little Angel’s mattress for one night~ What a sin!” Angel laughed happily and rubbed herself on the two women that were spoiling her.

Evelyn and the rest neared, and Yasenia made them come nearer with her tail to give good morning kisses and hugs.

Tatyana stood up from Yasenia’s lap and put Angel in her previous position. Yasenia accommodated her baby in her embrace, and Angel buried her face in her breasts like a magnet attracting her face.

Tatyana said, “Today, I will teach all of you combat training! Especially Angel and Cecile. Angel, we need to create simpler formations to help your versatility in the one against one fights. Cecile, we need to make you accustomed to your new energy and change some of your basic skills. Evelyn, we will train attribute control to make your armor better. Finally, Andrea, you need more offensive moves similar to Yasenia’s or Evelyn’s charge skills. That jump attack you have is nice, but you are quite static. The times you lost inside the realm were mainly because the enemies utilized hit and run tactics.”

All of them bowed and said excitedly, “We will be in your care today, Master!”

It doesn’t matter how close they were. When training, Tatyana was their senior, teacher, and protector! They had to give her the respect she deserved.

Tatyana nodded with a smile, and they went towards the training room. On their way there, they meet with Kali… Well, they guessed that the person was Kali.

She had a cloak around her shoulders, and nothing of her body could be seen. She also had a veil covering her whole face, hiding her skin.

They managed to recognize her because of her chestnut-colored hair and her aura more than anything else.

Cecile and the others looked strangely at Kali. They didn’t know what to do with this scarred girl. Yasenia, on the other side, greeted Kali normally. However, the hesitation in her gestures didn’t escape Tatyana. “Kali! Where have you been these days? A lot of things have happened~.”

Kali looked at their reactions and tilted her head confused, “Are you speaking of your fight against that undead summoner? I was there seeing it.”

Then, Kali said, sounding a little shy. “Y-You were very heroic and beautiful.”

Although the veil covered her face, there was a blush on her scarred face. Yasenia chuckled and changed the topic, “Not that. Have you heard about me killing a Thousand Poisons Valley disciple?”

Kali shook her head. They began walking, and Yasenia explained superficially about the Abyss and other things that may happen. Kali listened closely and said, “A place where they find a mate based on strength and not looks… It isn’t that bad. Why would other races group up against them?”

Yasenia raised her eyebrow, “Well, that is another way to see it. At the end of the day, everything depends on the situation of the people involved. For example, I wouldn’t want to live there.”

Feeling Kali confused, Yasenia elaborated. “If I lived there, other people could steal my lovers at any time, right? For me, that is something unacceptable.”

Kali realized her blunder and stuttered, “S-sorry, I didn’t mean that I, uh, of course, that is bad, Umm….”

Yasenia’s heart softened, seeing her nervousness, and she patted her head. Then she smiled gently and said, “I know what you meant; I was just giving my side of how I feel about it.”

Yasenia thought about it a little, and, seeing her fidgeting, she asked, “Do you want to come train with us? Mom is teaching us; one more girl shouldn’t be a problem.”

Kali looked at the reactions of the others, and seeing neither rejection nor aversion, she nodded. She didn’t want to be on their bad side since she has been looking secretly at Yasenia during these days and knows that she loves them deeply.

It is clear to anyone watching how she interacts with her harem members and how much she cherishes them. Especially Angel, who is always on her lap or burying her face in her breasts. She was actually quite jealous.

Kali followed after them and looked down, thinking, ‘If I want to enter her harem, I need to find a way to heal my scars, especially the ones down-‘

Kali smirked disdainfully, ‘I mean, I could confess, but… Will she even accept me? No matter if the scars heal, someone like me… Thinking about what she told senior sister Linda… Will she even look at me having senior sister Linda as an option?’

Kali looked down and clenched her fists under her cloak. ‘Why did something like that have to happen to me!? What did I do wrong to deserve this!?’

Yasenia patted Kali on the shoulder after she didn’t answer her calls, “Kali, did you hear? What would you like as a weapon?”

Kali woke up from her thoughts and answered, “Umm, a longsword wouldn’t be bad.”

Tatyana looked at Kali in contemplation, ‘She has a very muddy heart. How did she even manage to remain sane? She should even hear illusory voices and whispers from time to time. Either her psyche is very strong, or she is too far gone… For the moment, It seems to lean toward the first option… What an impressive little girl.’

Tatyana noticed that when Yasenia spoke to Kali, her heart demons would lighten, but they would strengthen when she talked to the others. ‘This isn’t good. Yasenia is too carefree before this girl… *Sigh* At the end of the day, no matter how perceptive, she is still young and doesn’t know how to handle this situation…’

“Little treasure.” Yasenia looked back at Tatyana, “Come with me; I need to ask you something.”
