After Sarah fainted in embarrassment, the system, Yasenia, and Angel were stupefied. Yasenia asked, bewildered, "Did she just faint in front of complete strangers because of embarrassment? Are her survival instincts those of a rock? If we wanted to do something bad to her, she would be in a really bad situation right now."
Angel looked at Yasenia with sparkling blue eyes, "You are that perfect, Yasenia! You made her heart have only you inside of it in the little time we have been here. Also, I like that term a lot; I will also call myself Yasexual!"
Yasenia's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. 'I hope this strange word doesn't spread….'
Our poor dragoness didn't know… That it would become a real word in the future, mainly spread by a certain group with a cute name that had a strange abbreviation.
Sarah woke up, and her nose twitched because she could smell that sweet fragrance surrounding her. 'What happened?'
[Host. You are being carried by the Dragon woman, another person seems to be approaching, and they are walking toward them while speaking. It appears that the dragoness has a harem herself.]
Sarah looked at Yasenia, who was carrying her, and blushed again. 'She is so beautiful… I'm not surprised she has a harem in a world without laws about it… Moreover…' Sarah felt around with her hands sneakily, and all she felt was very soft, silky, and pleasant to the touch. Sarah's body which was resting on Yasenia's, was in heaven feeling the person carrying her. However, she suddenly felt weightless and fell to the ground. "Ouch."
Yasenia had felt her awakening, and she wouldn't let herself be taken advantage of. She turned and looked at Sarah with a serious gaze. "Listen here, Sarah. I don't know if you are a spoiled princess from somewhere or if you have been spoiled rotten by your seniors, and you have become ignorant."
Yasenia said, crossing her arms under her bountiful chest, "We are inside a secret realm, an extremely dangerous place where death can greet you in every corner. A place where cultivators massacre each other to steal the treasures found here. And you are behaving like you are on a trip of some sort, unaware of your surroundings."
Yasenia continued, "You are honestly lucky I'm not someone that wants to take advantage of you. Else, you would be dead or worse. I don't mind you accompanying us, but you better not hold us back. Moreover, I will need some transparency when I ask you about some things. I understand that everyone has their secrets, but I will not tolerate you holding back information that may put me or the people I care about in danger."
Sarah looked at Yasenia's eyes which carried no emotions, and shuddered slightly. The pressure Yasenia's gaze could give when she was serious was no joke; for Sarah, it felt as if something was pressing on her head, making her want to lower it. Sarah nodded rapidly and said with a stutter, "I-I will listen to you, Yasenia. But please don't leave me behind. I-I'm alone, and I don't know where to go..."
Yasenia frowned, 'Why can't I feel that she is lying? Wasn't she talking with someone before? Or did she activate a skill to evade emotion-reading? I've heard about those skills, but they are honestly very rare. Am I overthinking something? Or did an important detail escape me?'
Yasenia didn't think about it much longer because she finally felt her other dear approaching. She saw approaching a veiled woman with a pair of big chestnut-colored fox ears and a long, fluffy green fox tail that seemed extremely well groomed.
This woman was tall at 173 cm and had a slim body with bigger than normal breasts and a round and supple butt. Her body figure approached perfection, and the aura around her made her extremely pleasant to look at, like a fox spirit walking in the mist. Moreover, the veil gave her this mysteriousness that tempted the viewer to uncover her secrets.
The flawless skin of her hands and her figure caught the gaze of the people that laid eyes on her. Everyone that looked at this woman would have that desire to see the face below the veil, being sure that a face that could charm men and women alike was hiding there.
Her dress was mainly green with some golden and pink accents. It was long enough to cover the entirety of her body, not showing anything but her hands to the world, and even these could be hidden under the long and wide sleeves.
Behind her, a three-meter-tall voluptuous lady with a long floral dress and a staff followed her. Her facial features were extremely gentle looking and even if she had a body of sin, it gave a motherly and protective feeling that everyone would want to get closer to. She truly looked gentle, like mother nature.
When Kali saw Yasenia, a big smile spread on her face under her veil, and she ran toward her with clear excitement. "Yasenia!"
Yasenia laughed, seeing Kali's enthusiasm, and opened her arms as she did with Angel. Kali didn't hold back and dove straight inside the dragoness's inviting embrace with a wagging tail and happily twitching ears. Her shyness toward Yasenia had almost disappeared after their last breakthrough in their relationship, and what was left was a deep love toward the dragoness that had taken care of her so well during these months.
After sinking in that soft, sweet-smelling, and protective embrace, Kali's smile widened, and she rubbed her face on Yasenia. Kali heard Yasenia's slightly deep and mellow voice beside her fox ears, making them twitch because she felt them pleasantly tingling. "I'm glad I met you early, honey. I was worried about you since you are the most vulnerable between us. Nothing happened, right?"
Kali's tail involuntarily curled around Yasenia as Yasenia spoke to her. Kali blushed slightly, 'I still can't control my tail... It becomes disobedient when Yasenia is around...'
Yasenia smiled and curled her own tail around the fluffy fox tail and kissed her forehead. Kali blushed a little more, but since the veil covered her face, she didn't mind and said, "I gained a lot of lost species of lost plants! Let me plant them in your ring; although I can grow them faster, I may mess it up without a perfect growing space like your ring. We will be able to make a lot of new pills, poisons, and medicine with them!"
Yasenia said, "Let's speak about this later, honey. Let me present to you our temporary companion. Sarah."
Kali's ears straightened, and she became alert, looking sideways through the veil toward Sarah. 'Yasenia met with another woman already? Will she become Yasenia's lover? Hmmm, she is pretty….'
Kali tightened her hug and presented herself, sounding a little passive-aggressive, and no one missed her tone. This was a result of her recently gained beast traits, which made her instincts a little wild. Similar to what happened to Cecile. "Hello, I'm Yasenia's wife, Kali. My dream is to become the most talented alchemist by her side."
Sarah became stiff, 'W-Wife? Isn't Angel her girlfriend? A-Also, a fox woman! She looks so fluffy!'
[Host. Are you ignoring me, or is your memory extremely short-term? She has a harem. You even answered previously.]
Sarah answered, 'R-Right. Yasenia telling me those things made me forget about it, sorry.'
Sarah curiously looked at Angel and saw her looking at Kali with a gentle gaze. [Host, it seems that the dragoness is able to maintain a harmonious harem. Angel feels very high friendliness and little empathy for the new woman; I'm unable to sense anything negative toward her besides a little bit of healthy jealousy. Probably because they are hugging.]
Sarah answered that she understood and said to Kali with a smile. "Hello. I'm Sarah, and I hope I get to know all of you better."
Kali nodded and turned toward Angel, "Hello, Angel. We were quite lucky finding Yasenia so soon."
Angel chuckled and approached them, diving between their arms. "Yup~. Did you find something interesting on the way, Kali?"
Kali chuckled and gently squished Angel between herself and Yasenia. Then, Angel and Kali began speaking. Yasenia separated from them and walked ahead, looking around for threats. "Honey, I found a giant scorpion. Well, it is over there. Do you want to take its poison sack? I didn't take it because I didn't want to kill it for nothing, but if you need it, we can go back and take it from it."
Kali asked Yasenia about its body characteristics to know if she needed it.
Meanwhile, Sarah remembered the enormous scorpion and asked the system, 'What are my chances against that beast? Or the giant Lizard?'
[Host. Your chance of defeating that scorpion is 81.2756% without taking into account external interference. Your chances against the Lizard are 93.3421%. The chances against the Lizard are higher because the scorpion's poison can become lethal in a surprise attack. Your lack of experience when fighting against creatures with complex patterns would result in lower chances of winning.]
Sarah was surprised, 'I'm quite strong then… Right? Even if I'm inexperienced, I have quite a high chance of defeating powerful creatures.'
[Host. Your potential is limitless. You could be much more stronger than you are right now, but it is true that experience with weapons is not acquired easily. However, I would like to remind you that there are weapon experience books in the shop. I recommend buying them whenever you can.]
Sarah nodded. 'I will, but the {10-year sword fighting experience} is quite expensive, even if it is the cheapest one. I don't even want to look at the price of the [1 000 years sword fighting experience}.'
[Host, if you complete Yasenia's mission, you will be able to buy even the most expensive, {Mastery perfection in all weapons} book.]
Sarah frowned, 'Let me give it more thought; I feel that there is something wrong with that mission.'
Angel suddenly said, bringing Sarah out of her thoughts. "Right! Yasenia, I saw a town or something similar eastward from here. Should we look around?"
Yasenia said, "Wait a moment, baby; I think our communication devices are going to become functional shortly."
As Yasenia expected, one minute later, the communication devices glowed with green and blue energy and became functional. "Perfect~. Let's communicate with Evelyn first… Evelyn, Evelyn, do you hear me?"
On the Arctic Thunder mountain, Evelyn was waving her spear around as five cultivators of her level attacked her. The fight was intense as Evelyn seemed to be struggling to fight against them. However, her spear was extremely fast and blocked their swords continuously with very high accuracy. If the five people attacking her had paid more attention, they would have realized that even if she appeared to be struggling, Evelyn didn't have a single wound.
At the side, the Wolf Queen was overlooking the battle, Evelyn had told her not to interfere, so she was just looking. The Wolf Queen was slightly confused at this, but she had to obey her current master.
Suddenly, Yasenia's voice was heard from the communication device. Evelyn wasn't distracted by it and continued fighting, 'Oh! The device is finally functional. It is time to stop playing around with these fellas. They have served their purpose already.'
Evelyn had been just testing her strength against people who wanted to kill her, and she had realized that she was stronger than she initially thought, especially in this kind of environment. Now, it was time to finish the battle.
