Rushing over to both the ongoing battle between Lavendia and the other Griffin, Dana found a completely different 'Battle' from what she was expecting.
The other Griffin, in which she now identified as female is currently within a human form as both her and Lavendia are passionately entwining with each other.
Upon seeing such a scene completely dumbfounded Dana silly, who just stood there with her mouth gaping open in shock.
Lavendia who finally noticed Dana's presence said, "Hey Dana you finally dealt with the other one? I was just finishing up with this Griffin, and she seems to have a lot of pent up emotions about the male Griffin which she seemed to hate strongly."
Seeing the unashamed appearance of the Dryad at being caught in the act, Dana stared at her with a furious expression as she said, "Seriously? You have been doing this the entire time while I've been fighting fiercely with the Griffin, you spent your time playing with a girl? You have also made me rush over here expecting you to be in trouble for no reason at all!"
Witnessing Dana's furious appearance, Lavendia said, "Hey why are you so angry about this all? Hmm. Oh, right forgive me for being rude before, want to join us?"
Of course, this just ended up making Dana, even more, angered at her lewd subordinate as she beat up the Dryad continuously.
But, this just ended up not getting the result desired Dana wanted at all, instead of painful cries she expected it made Lavendia moan in pleasure with a face in complete bliss as if this wasn't any form of 'Punishment' at all.
Seeing her 'Punishment' being useless and the Dryad actually enjoying it caused Dana to instantly stop the beating, and start thinking about other alternatives to punish Lavendia if she got out of line.
But, after thinking through the entirety of her mind, Dana seemed to find that her only solution to everything seemed to be violence, and this is the worst possible sort of thing to do towards a masochist.
While she was searching through her mind to solve this current predicament, she is suddenly reminded of her 'Guest' as her eyes were drawn to the now human-formed Griffin.
Within her human form, the Griffin human appearance had long blonde hair which cascaded down her shoulders reaching slightly above her lower back, while she possessed a cute heart-shaped face and also has an hourglass figure complementing her beautiful looks even further.
Dana's eyes looked questionable at the Griffin, wondering how this situation ended up occurring and upon seeing Dana's inquiring look, the Griffin suddenly answered.
"Look, this is all a misunderstanding here, alright? I am simply forced into being here with that other fool as my family arranged a marriage with him beforehand, which ended up with me being brought here alongside him when he became the Guardian. Due to me hating him we didn't have sex very often, and when we did it wasn't enjoyable for me, so I had a lot of pent up sexual thoughts, and your Dryad friend used one of her abilities which caused me to become aroused towards her, and then you know what happened next,"
Listening to the Griffins reasoning behind the situation it seemed she realised why this came about, but this still didn't stop her wondering why this Griffin doesn't seem to hate her.
"Alright now I get why you ended up having 'Fun' with Lavendia, but why don't you look at me with such malice similar to the other guy?" Dana said.
"Honestly, I don't have the best of relationship with my family anyways after that incident with forcing me to marry him just for some benefits and to form a connection with his clan. So, at the moment I'm not welcome back to my kind, as if I return without him, then I will likely be named a traitor and executed. Therefore, why should I be so passionate about disliking a bunch of Dragons who I never met for the sake of them?" Said the Griffin.
Nodding in realisation, Dana found the reasoning suitable. Thus she decided to leave the Griffin be as she never provoked her in the first place and runic-stone isn't within her possession, so she doesn't really need to slaughter her for no reason.
Not to mention Dana thinks she can end up becoming a good subordinate for her, due to Griffins being a strong race.
But, even with the power, the Griffins hold the System still recommended her in not gaining their bloodline as she will only be able to contain a limited amount within her body in the future.
And even though the Griffin bloodline is extremely powerful, it isn't the most powerful beast bloodline of the wind attribute.
Moreover, the System said there are some even superior, which she should aim to gain within the future. Therefore, the Griffin bloodline will only bring short-term power, but in the long run, she may regret her decision. Thus she decided to follow the System's advice and wait until she receives the even stronger ones available.
Dana stared at the Griffin with a smile before she said, "Would you follow this Dragon, similar to Lavendia over there? I'm sure you got no better place to go and having the company which would truly accept you for what you truly are will be incredibly rare." Said Dana.
Hearing Dana's compelling argument, the Griffin was still unsure if she should make this decision, but Dana was right, and she would never be able to reveal her true form in front of humans if she were to live within their society.
Not to mention that experts with high cultivation can detect something wrong with her in human form so she may end up in serious trouble within the future.
Of course, this trouble doesn't apply to Dana as she gained the human form with the System. Thus her human form is flawless compared to the other spirit beasts which some individuals have means to detect whether they're truly human.
If Dana didn't have such benefit provided by the System, maybe she'd have already been caught by an expert by now within her human form, causing her not to be able to live within human society at all and even have the possibility of being enslaved.
The Griffin who is still hesitating on making such a decision, suddenly heard a voice within her mind which is precisely the old fogie of the Secret Realm which said," I recommend you, girl, to follow her as even my master predicted that within the future she would be extremely powerful, alongside her you will rise higher than what would be normally possible for yourself to achieve within your lifetime. But, in the end, it is your decision whether to heed my words or not."
The Griffin upon seeing how highly Dana was talked of by the old fogie of the inheritance instantly decided to follow Dana, as she knew that this old man wouldn't be able to be forced into saying flattery words of Dana unless it was the truth.
She knew that the old man wouldn't lie about Dana being such a talent, as even the many talented geniuses which entered this inheritance didn't enter his eyes, therefore why would he provide special treatment to Dana?
"I accept, but before that, I should reveal my name to you. My name is Maia, formerly from clan 'Talon'." Said Maia.
Thinking that the clan thing must be a tradition amongst Griffins, Dana said with a smile on her face, "Good, I accept you in becoming another one of my subordinates."
Now having two powerful beasts alongside her, Dana believes it will be much easier getting things done, as couldn't she just send them to take care of things for her while she concentrated on cultivating in the future?
Also, Dana enjoys the idea of having company within this world, who wouldn't she have to abandon as a result of them having insufficient talent, so being able to have long-lasting companions excites Dana.
However, thinking back to the lewd behaviour between both Lavendia and Maia she suddenly said, "You won't be doing much more of that lustful behaviour right?"
Dana's comment seemed to cause Maia to blush heavily as she said, "I apologise for that, I don't know what seemed to have gotten over me. I assure you I won't disgrace myself in such a way again!"
But, the Dryad didn't seem to be ashamed at all when she said, "Eh Master it was only accidental on my part, I didn't think she would be affected that badly by my pheromones. Don't worry thought Master; you will always be my priority!"
Though this didn't seem to improve Dana's mood at all as she cursed the Dryad multiple times, and ordered her not to mess around in such a situation again.
Finishing with her rant towards Lavendia, she was suddenly interrupted by the voice old fogie of the inheritance, "You have finished my inheritance as I expected, gain your rewards and open what my Master has prepared for you. I believe you will also find it interesting what he has to say to her. Also, as an additional benefit, I will ensure the Griffin won't betray you in the future, as she will be similar to the Dryad with not being able to tell others about you."
With the old fogies voice fading away, Dana, Lavendia and Maia were teleported with the dead Griffins body directly to the centre of the Secret Realm!
Seeing the new surroundings, Dana looked around finding they seemed to be at the central area of this place, the only location within the Secret Realm connected to each of the five areas.
It is also the most difficult inheritance, which none had even the chance of entering, but now this answer was revealed to Dana as it seemed the key to this place all along was to complete the other five inheritances within each of the five areas within the Secret Realm.
Digging out the runic-stone of the Griffin body and rest of the Griffin for later use within her storage ring, Dana, Lavendia and Maia walked towards the long-awaited treasure which has awaited her since the beginning.
But, upon walking for ten minutes, she soon found a group of people she never expected she would come across.
It was the one which has been provoking her from the beginning she entered the Xinghai Continent, Princess Hui Ying!
