After being pressed down like an insect and feeling his bones crack, he released his full aura, trying to fight against Tatyana's. His aura pushed against the black and green skeletal hand, but it didn't even budge. Tatyana released Yasenia's hand and approached step by step until they were 10m apart.
The Long family head was surprised at her strength, but he said calmly, "Do you really think yourself as invincible? Release him; your daughter killed our children, so she must pay for it."
She lifted one hand and commanded. Her voice sounded imposing, like an Empress ordering a subject, "I ordered you something, now do it. [Fate weaving]." Then, countless threads of different colors appeared around Tatyana.
Patriarch Long's eyes widened, scared shitless. 'Those are fate threads! She can pluck fate threads!?'
But he then relaxed; he denied other thoughts, 'That skill won't work on our strongest cultivators. She should only be able to change simple things, making the skill useless in combat. She must be above the Transcendence realm for that skill to work in combat, and no one is above the transcendence realm in this continent!'
Fate threads were what dictated the fate of every single creature who had sentience. Being able to pluck them meant that Tatyana could literally change someone's fate at will! Of course, there were limitations.
However, unlike Patriarch Long's thoughts, Tang Guo was too weak to resist! Tatyana moved her beautiful hand and plucked three of them. Then she stopped using her aura, and the threads disappeared.
After the Tatyana plucked the threads, Tang Guo stopped using his aura, stood up, not bothering about his broken bones, and walked calmly to the side of the Long Family Patriarch.
As if it was the most natural thing in the world.
As if it was what he had to do in this instant, no matter the consequences.
Even the people around didn't find it unusual.
Of course, this feeling lasted until he stopped walking. Tang Guo's eyes widened, and he started sweating cold. 'D-Did she just control my fate!?'
The knowledgeable spectators also were shocked.
Tatyana calmed down during this time and said flatly, "A petty squabble between Mental nourishing realm children and you, a transcendental realm cultivator, want to poke your nose in it. Aren't you ashamed? Moreover, about you not calling me senior, do you think you are on your family's ancestors' level? Even they give me respect, not to mention you, their descendant!"
Tatyana didn't stop there; she sneered as she reprimanded, "No wonder you have been stuck in your cultivation realm for who knows how long. I'm surprised you haven't been consumed by your heart demons yet! Your great-grandfather was stronger than you by three levels at your age!"
The Tang family head didn't dare retort; he was still too shocked! However, the Long family head's face became ugly. "You, the headmaster of the Rising Talent Academy, truly have guts that reach the heavens! Is it because those shitty empires didn't want to fight for those small pieces of land? Do you think that you can fight our Ancestors together? Foolish!"
Yesenia and the others almost choked to death. 'THE HEADMASTER!?'
Yesenia looked at her mother adoringly, and her tail wagged. 'My mother is so cool!!'
Tatyana almost broke her serious face seeing the adoring look of her daughter and her wagging tail, but she endured! However, her internal struggle was intense!
'To maintain my appearance, I will use my hundreds of thousands of years of experience to hold back from directly throwing my little treasure to the bed and... Maybe I shouldn't hold back… No, no, no! Hold yourself together, and your daughter will worship you more!'
Tatyana nodded internally, 'That's right! Face slap these people harder and then slap your daughter's softness the hardest- Stop my traitorous thought process! Resist the impulse!'
Tatyana looked at them with ridicule while her inner demons fought an all-out war. "Do you truly think that I gained my position because of pity? The foolish one is you! Do you truly think your families are my match? Do you think I will not use all the Academy forces to flatten your proud Long and Tang families? Can you even resist a tenth of my forces?"
Yasenia swooned with Angel and Evelyn making Tatyana's inner demons battle lean towards the 'Throw Yasenia to bed now' side. Nonetheless, she stayed strong and didn't bend!
The two patriarchs knew they were losing more face by the second, so they entered the auction house while saying, "Don't brag too much, I know you don't want to start a war, or you would have started it long ago. We can have a tournament with the juniors to decide your daughter's life or death. However, if you want to fight, then fight! Send whatever you want. Your academy isn't the only strong power in this continent!"
Tatyana looked at their back. When they disappeared, she led the others inside as she said, "There is one hour left until the auction begins. How about taking a look at the catalog? There may be something you want to buy. However, I will not lend you any money."
Yasenia went to Tatyana's side and said in a worshipping tone, "Mom, you are the best~ The headmaster, I love you the most~."
Then, Yasenia kissed her cheek, and everyone heard something snap, followed by Tatyana speaking, "Go to the room. I will appear with Yasenia after half an hour."
The rest nodded, and Tatyana entered another private room, sealed it, and threw Yasenia towards a bed face down. Yasenia didn't know what was happening until she felt Tatyana lift her skirt from behind, and Tatyana pressed her face down on the bed. Then, a very thick and slimy object opened her to the limits. Yasenia's eyes rolled up, "OHHH!!"
Tatyana proceeded to pound sanity back into herself while making a certain dragoness scream herself hoarse.
Meanwhile, in another VIP room, Andrea spoke, amazed. "To think that Tatyana was the headmistress of our academy… Doesn't our headmistress go by the name of Katherin? So which one is the real name?"
Angel answered, "Tatyana is the realm name for sure. Do you think Tatyana would lie to Yasenia about her own name?"
The others nodded. Cecile asked, "Are they going to speak about her identity or something?"
Evelyn nodded. "I'm sure they will have an in-depth conversation. That is why we couldn't listen."
Cecile suddenly blushed, and Andrea asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Cecile shook her head and said, "They must be having a very in-depth conversation."
She thought shyly, 'I just felt Yasenia's complete submission towards another person before all the signals disappeared….'
Being her marked mate had its perks! This would have normally been something that would make her furious. However, knowing it was Tatyana who made her dragoness submit completely, she didn't mind.
Cecile knew that Tatyana wasn't Yasenia's [Soulmate] because she was her mother; therefore, she couldn't gain that status. Moreover, Cecile didn't love Yasenia because she was her [Soulmate]. She loved her even before that; the mark made those feelings deeper.
Cecile looked to the Auction theater to distract herself. The walls were white with some colored sculptures, showing different types of objects, probably the rarest objects that have passed the Auction house.
The theater could accommodate 100 000 people easily, only counting the public seats. The seats had a nice wine color and were lined up efficiently.
The ceiling was tall, and the VIP customer boxes had three levels on the semicircular wall, and it was impossible to see what was inside unless the people didn't mind it.
Looking around, she could spot the Tang and Long Patriarch in the same room. They were on the low right, quite near the wooden stage. Their own room was opposite them on the low left, also near the stage.
The stage was also large, prepared to show any object, and the wood was also extremely resilient. Damaging it would probably be impossible unless one was nearing the Transcendent realm.
They continued speaking and looking through the catalog for a while until the door opened. Tatyana and Yasenia appeared, with Yasenia sticking to Tatyana's side. She was growling lovingly while giving kisses and licks to her neck, as a tamed beast would do to its owner.
Her face had a melted smile, and her tail coiled around Tatyana's body. They even saw her irises colored with a pink-golden color.
Tatyana, who was walking with a refreshed smile, sat. Yasenia plastered herself on Tatyana, sitting on her lap, and continued her entranced actions, growling softly and licking and kissing her cheeks, lips, hair, and neck. Tatyana asked while hugging the soft body on her lap and receiving her affections, "Have any of you found anything interesting in the catalog?"
The rest swallowed their question because the answer was obvious! Evelyn answered by asking about the things they didn't know what they were. Tatyana answered with a sing-song voice. Anyone could hear her excellent mood through her voice.
Angel asked curiously with a whisper to Cecile. "I know what they did, but… When does Yasenia show this side?"
Cecile answered with a smile. "That is when her mate makes her submit completely, she becomes very loving and cute in this state~."
Angel blushed and nodded. "She is truly adorable right now."
Yasenia separated a little from Tatyana without leaving her lap and looked at the items on the catalog. At first sight, she didn't see anything interesting. And what interested her was extremely costly.
However, she spotted one thing that picked her curiosity; it was also quite affordable. She asked to confirm, "An egg?"
Tatyana said, "This is an unknown beast egg. It looks like a normal chicken egg but somewhat bigger... I heard it has a very sturdy shell. Some high-level beasts conceal their eggs with normal shells to protect them from strong beasts. I mean, what high-level beast or cultivator would aim at a normal-looking egg."
Yasenia nodded and returned to bathe Tatyana with love. Tatyana sighed in comfort. Evelyn asked, "Then how did they get this one?"
Tatyana said languidly, relaxed by her daughter's caresses. "Some cultivators picked it up from a destroyed site between a battle of two powerful beasts. The battle destroyed everything around but the egg. Thus they think it is from a powerful beast."
They continued to talk until there was a knock on the door. When Tatyana permitted them to enter, six handsome men with different body types and uniforms entered. The tallest one said with a magnetic and deep voice. "We are here to offer services if your excellencies want."
Then the sexiest one said with a seductive tone. "We can offer any kind of service. Do not hold back."
Andrea and the rest knew that this was just their working model, so they didn't get angry. Andrea smiled and said in her clear and deep voice, "We have a knowledgeable person in our group, and we don't want any other kind of entertainment. Thanks for the offer."
The leading male nodded with a smile, bowed, and they left without insisting.
Evelyn was impressed, "I thought they would be very pushy! They are quite professional."
Tatyana said, "They can't afford to offend people in the VIP rooms. If someone accepts, they luck out; if not, it is their bad luck. This kind of extra service is only for VIPs."
Yasenia asked, stopping her actions, "Are there cases when they don't get paid after giving their services?"
Tatyana said, "There are. Normally young men and women; you can already guess why. However, the punishment is that no matter how honored a guest is, if you do that, you will be revoked of the VIP position and will have to buy it again. The auction house secretly gives the victim a part of the rebought VIP, so they win money anyway. Almost no staff has resigned since the new owner took place."
Yasenia said, "For people to not complain after the VIP is revoked... The owner must be strong, right?"
Tatyana shook her head, "She is only at the peak of the mortal realm, half-step level of the spiritualization realm. She can be glared to death by people like patriarch Long or Tang. However, no one has ever seen her."
Yasenia was doubtful and asked. "Then, how can they have so much influence that no one refuses to pay? Moreover, how can you know about it if no one has ever seen her?"
Tatyana shrugged, "Who knows~?"
Yasenia bit Tatyana's lips as she said, "Why do I feel like you are hiding something again?"
Tatyana silenced Yasenia, kissing her deeply, making the recently tamed dragoness putty in Tatyana's embrace.
