After Cecile arrived, the rest didn't take much to also come to Yasenia's room. By the time Yasenia and Tatyana sat on the bed, all of them were present. Andrea presented herself to Tatyana. "I'm Andrea, and I'm Yasenia's partner. It is a pleasure to meet you, mother-in-law."
Tatyana nodded and looked towards her crotch with a raised eyebrow, "You are also like my daughter… To tell you the truth, humans like you are… rare is an understatement. You are the fourth human with these characteristics I met in my long life!"
Yasenia said, surprised, "Mom aren't you super o-"
Yasenia felt a chill climb up her spine and changed her words. "...Extremely experienced in life? Only four people! That is very little!"
Tatyana smiled, and Yasenia was sweating cold, 'You told me you are more than 100 000 years old! What are you but ol-.' Another shudder traveled her spine, so she directly shut down her brain.
Tatyana nodded and continued with a smile. "In beast-humans, it is a lot less rare to have the two sexes… But in humans, it is completely abnormal to have the two sexes functional. If they are not functional… they are just deformities and nothing more, so I don't count them. Andrea can get pregnant or impregnate girls without a problem. That is what makes her rare."
Yasenia raised an eyebrow. "Oh… Then I will be able to get pregnant?"
Andrea looked at Yasenia, and even with her tanned skin, one could see that she was blushing in happiness. 'She doesn't mind getting pregnant with my child!!'
Andrea stepped forwards and hugged her beautiful dragoness. "I love you, Yasenia."
Yasenia didn't understand this reaction, but she liked being hugged by Andrea a lot, so she buried herself in her embrace. As a reward, Yasenia gave a kiss on her chin and smiled with a wagging tail, melting Andrea's heart a little more.
Andrea's reaction was caused mainly by her insecurities. Her previous experiences due to her body have caused insecurities to grow in her. For Andrea, having Yasenia was already a blessing, but she didn't know that Yasenia didn't mind getting pregnant with her child, making her delighted.
Thanks to this statement, Andrea's heart demon took a big hit and was on the verge of disappearing.
Tatyana continued, "Beast-humans, although they have less fertility than humans, unlike humans, all of them can start the cultivation path thanks to their strong bodies. All of you have seen Yasenia's absurd physical prowess. The rest of the beast humans also take traits of the beast they resemble."
The others nodded thoughtfully, but Evelyn frowned, "Are you telling us that beast humans have monstrous strength like Yasenia? How can we even win then? In my opinion, within the same level, Yasenia is practically peerless. Fighting to the death against someone with Yasenia's strength..." Evelyn and the others felt chills going up against their spine, imagining the scenario.
Tatyana laughed and said proudly, "I have to say that Yasenia is very strong even among the beast humans, but there are people that aren't that far from her. However, beast-humans' mental strength and intelligence are a lot smaller."
They looked at Yasenia, then at Tatyana, then at Yasenia again, and for the first time, they doubted her words. 'I haven't seen someone more perceptive than her. Are you calling me stupid to my face indirectly!?'
Tatyana could read their faces like an open book and laughed, "Don't put Yasenia as a standard for beast-humans. My daughter is the best! I won't tell you the reason, but Yasenia is a little... Special."
The other four nodded in sync, and Yasenia rolled her eyes in a charming motion.
After seeing that eye roll, Angel clapped and said, "Even her eye-roll is beautifully done!"
Yasenia's eyes started rolling so hard that she almost took off.
After getting some laughs, Tatyana finished saying, "If you ever fight a beast human…."
She put a mischievous smile, "Provoke them, taunt them, insult them and their ancestors. Their rage will make them a little stronger but a lot more… beastly. After that, it is the same as fighting with a beast of the same rank, but with human size."
Yasenia asked, "Should we humiliate someone like that? I don't want my dears to get into trouble."
Tatyana said, "Don't worry, there aren't any beast human families with enough power on this continent. Humans control these five continents."
Yasenia and the others nodded. Angel bragged again, "Yasenia not only doesn't become more beastly when angry, she even becomes calmer and sexier the angrier she is! As expected, my Yasenia is the best!"
Yasenia eye-rolled like a plane turbine, and with the constant spinning motion, she directly flew away.
The next week in the boat was normal. Except for the first day when Yasenia was tired because of the action with Tatyana, she cultivated with them and slept with them at night. Tatyana also disappeared from time to time, but she always returned at night.
Thanks to these seven days of cultivation, they managed to make the last push and advance their cultivation realms.
Angel and Evelyn reached the second level of the Mental nourishing realm.
Cecile was more than halfway into the third.
Andrea was in the seventh level, almost reaching the eighth.
Yasenia was still in the half-step of the Body Modification realm.
While lying on the bed, Tatyana inserted herself between Cecile and Yasenia. It seems that not even mommy Tatyana can take Yasenia's baby spot! Thus, when Angel woke up on top of Yasenia, even when her mother was there, her smile was so wide during that day that she ended up with hurting cheeks even if she was a cultivator.
The flying battleship arrived at the city where the tournament would be held. They were on the ship's deck and looking toward it. Yasenia saw a big mountain in the middle surrounded by many buildings creating a gigantic city.
In the mountain area, there were big, luxurious estates. Tatyana said they were the houses of the most prominent families in this city. The higher on the mountain, the better the position.
Moreover, the main streets ranged from 100m to 200m in width! Everything was… big. However, seeing the number of people, carriages, beasts, and other vehicles... If they hadn't built it this way, there would have been people jams instead of carriage jams.
Tatyana spoke, "Welcome to Challenger City. This enormous city is on the neutral ground between the demonic territory and the righteous territory. It is a commercial center for both sides, and there are all types of trades here. Yasenia, you will be seeing a lot of beast people… Well, beast-people slaves."
Yasenia nodded casually, "I don't see a difference between human and beast-people. Moreover, my lovers are human; you don't have to worry, mom. I will not act like those righteous heroes and try to change something impossible to change. I'm more curious than anything."
Tatyana nodded happily, and the rest took note of her words.
They stopped at the docks, and the almost 500 students put themselves on lines and got flanked by the teachers. Yasenia and the rest didn't move from Tatyana's side, and no teacher was worried because the headmistress was here personally.
The teachers' actions confirmed to Yasenia that her mother was part of the Academy. She didn't know exactly which position yet, but it wasn't low.
Of course, only the teachers and some knowledgeable students knew about Tatyana's identity, and none had the guts to spill it. Tatyana hasn't told Yasenia because she wanted Yasenia to discover it herself! She was eager to see her daughter's dumbfounded face. It was also harder because her name as the headmistress is Katherine!
With Tatyana around, they reached the inn without problems and got into their rooms. The room distribution was the same for the six as it was in the battleship; a double room on one side for Yasenia and Tatyana and a four-person room next to them for the others.
Knowing that they still had three days until the tournament, Yasenia wanted to explore the city, so she asked her mother. Her mother obviously accepted.
Are you asking about the responsibilities of being the headmistress? What was that? Can't you see that my daughter is wagging her tail while asking me something!?
So the six of them went to tour the city. Yasenia couldn't help her curiosity and asked, "Mom can we see the slave traders? I want to see the business."
Tatyana didn't have any opinions and guided them toward one of the slave traders. The street was filled with slave houses of different qualities. They entered a medium quality one.
They saw various doors inside the slave house in a very big hall. There were receptionists at the side and some counters to ask questions. There was a place where the slaves and masters were signing contracts.
After asking, they went through the biggest door to another hall. In this hall, there were a lot of entries, and each entry had a tag on top of them. Then, they separated to find the "Beast Slave" door.
Tatyana and Yasenia walked together as Yasenia read the tags outloud.
"Sex slave."
"House slave."
"Combat slave."
"Toilet slave."
Yasenia stopped and reread that last one. She looked at that door for a while, and unable to understand, she asked Tatyana, "What's with this one?"
Tatyana stopped looking at her daughter's seductive face for a nanosecond, enough time to read the entrance text, and continued looking at her daughter.
Tatyana answered, "They are used to clean toilets, not as toilets… Well, not all of them."
Yasenia looked with a strange face at that door, "Little treasure, there are very crazy people in this world, me one of them."
Yasenia nodded, "No matter how crazy you are, I love you the same, mom."
Yasenia smiled seductively and said, "Moreover, where can I find another person to milk me dry."
Tatyana blushed and said coquettishly, "Seeing your mother as nothing more than a cum milker! I'm going to blush!"
Yasenia laughed at her acting. She saw the others return with strange faces and asked, excited, "Say the name!"
Angel said, "Blood slave."
Tatyana answered, "The ones that buy them use their blood for rituals and similar things."
Cecile said, "Food slave."
Tatyana said, "They are either good cooks or good to be cooked."
The rest choked. 'That doesn't make it clear! In what way are they cooked!?'
Andrea said, "Poison slave."
Tatyana continued, "Very straightforward. An alchemist buys them to test their poisons or venoms on them. Some of them secrete poison or venom."
Evelyn said with a completely weirded-out face, "Broom slave."
All of them looked at her bewildered. Tatyana looked at Evelyn and said, "That… Is new."
Evelyn answered the unasked question, "I asked, and they are used as brooms. Like… Literally."
The rest decided not to dive deeper into the mysteries of the slave-house and searched for what they came here for. Finally, they found the "Beast salve" door.
A woman exited the door when they reached. She was a very beautiful woman with some luxurious clothes, her back straight and her chin raised. That woman looked at the side, and her sight locked onto Yasenia. 'S-S-So beautiful! Is she a new addition? I want her!'
Proud as a peacock, she advanced toward them. Tatyana looked at that woman and calculated the conversation pattern of young masters, extrapolated it to young mistresses, and added the targeted girls' personality traits, the place they are, and their appearance.
In one second, she had already simulated in her mind the whole conversation. She reached one conclusion, 'Oh… She dies.'
That woman spoke arrogantly, "I see that you have come to sell that beast-human. I want her! She will be a fine slave for this young mistress!"
Evelyn and Andrea were indifferent and continued conversation with Yasenia. Cecile's and Angel's faces became as freezing as 1000-year-old ice. While the first two love Yasenia, they tend to ignore dumb people like this.
On the other side, to Cecile and Angel, Yasenia was their reverse scale. You could insult both of them all you want, and you won't receive any big reaction from them. Aim for Yasenia and…
Angel spat, "Can't your dog eyes see that she is with us? Are those ears to feed the pigs too? Can't you listen to our conversation before opening that filthy mouth that what it eats only transforms into a waste of spent food? Even being near you is making the air smell foul! SCRAM!"
Yasenia was impressed at her baby's sharp mouth, 'She looks so cute! I want to kiss her cheeks! Will I disrupt something if I do that?'
That woman's face became red, then green, then blue, then purple, and finally red again, and she screamed, "HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!? Do you have any idea who I am!? My fath- "
*SLAP!*
A tail-slap landed on her cheek masterfully, making her spin three and a half times without being sent flying and making her fall.
Evelyn commented, "Your tail-slapping is becoming an Art! Masterful use of your tail! Better, she is not even damaged!"
Yasenia spoke while hugging Angel from behind, "This rainbow woman screamed at my baby! That slap was deserving!"
The people looking at the side thought, 'Didn't she just insult almost her nine generations and back!? What do you mean deserving!?'
The woman stood up, undamaged on the surface, but her pride was cracked everywhere. "You! Filthy beast-woman, I was thinking of honoring you by making you my sex slave, now you will be lucky if I make you become my-"
*Bang! *
This time a blunt arrow hit her head, sending her flying and spinning backward until she hit the wall with a loud bang.
The air around Cecile was so cold that snowflakes were appearing. "You want to bed MY dragoness? Courting death is an understatement! You are blatantly asking for it!"
