After the Heaven-shaking roar, the dragon flapped its wings slowly, floating midair where the Black orb previously was. Her size wasn't very big, a little smaller than a common tiger. However, the aura around her made was extremely deep.
Each flap of her wings spread starlight to the surroundings, and the way it looked around somewhat cluelessly confirmed to the people that she was recently born.
The dragon's golden slit eyes scanned the thousands of cultivators, giving most of the people a feeling of pressure. Some became so cowered that they took a step back.
Those eyes stopped the cultivators that wanted to rush forward and make a contract. They felt unworthy from the bottom of their soul, as if making a contract with that majestic newborn creature was blasphemous to it.
Nevertheless, there were exceptions.
Before anyone moved, one of the leaders, who Andrea and the rest didn't know, appeared before the dragoness.
Cecile almost shot forward, but Andrea suddenly stopped her by grabbing one of her tails.
Cecile turned toward Andrea with piercing eyes, clearly asking for an explanation. Andrea communicated with them through their Spiritual Senses, "Don't go and protect her yet. The cultivators don't know that the dragon is Yasenia. If we rush forward, we will be revealing it."
Cecile got thoughtful. "How are you so sure?"
Andrea said, "If they knew, do you think that Gerd wouldn't be shouting to attack or things like that? Look at him. He is confused. If we go forward now, they will realize that the dragon is Yasenia. Although it is hard to recognize, it is easy to guess after connecting some obvious points. So we must be as inconspicuous as we can until the right moment."
Cecile nodded and semi-relaxed, her energy still circulating to release it at the precise moment.
Angel frowned and spoke, her voice unusually cold. "Can't we just push through? Whoever tries to stop us from saving Yasenia, we will just murder them until mountains of bodies accumulate, and they learn their lesson to not mess with us."
They blinked, surprised at Angel's sudden burst of murderous and bloody aura. The roots of her hair were becoming crimson red, and a flash of green mixed within her blue eyes.
Not to mention the current aura pressure she was releasing felt really suffocating.
However, while most of them became wide-eyed, Evelyn reacted fast and grabbed Angel's breast with her whole hand. Angel froze as Evelyn snorted, "Calm your tits, Saint Inheritor. We don't know the strength of the enemies in detail!"
Angel stupidly looked at Evelyn, not expecting her to literally and blatantly grab her breast in this situation. "W-What are you doing!?"
After getting a good feel, Evelyn released her breast and smiled. "Hmm~, big, soft, and bouncy. Good tits! Anyway, I'm telling you to relax; Yasenia isn't in trouble yet. We can always use our strength to punish them if they try something funny, but until then, it is best to be an observer."
Evelyn pointed at Yasenia's location with her chin and reprimanded Angel. "What is Tatyana's most repeated advice? Do not let your increase in strength get to your head, and keep a controlled mind in all situations. Look at how all the leaders gather around her. Do you think we can escape unscathed?"
Angel became timid after being reprimanded by Evelyn. She nodded and relaxed. "O-Okay, I will listen."
Evelyn smiled as she saw the roots of her hair transform back to blonde and her eyes return to the pretty and clear blue. She patted her head and complimented, "Good girl."
Their conversation didn't last longer than ten seconds, so the situation hadn't advanced.
As they talked, the group leaders appeared around Yasenia, floating with different methods like flying swords, their own wings, or flying beasts.
The first to reach beside Yasenia was the aforementioned man. He was tall and skinny, with a scholarly vibe around him. Nevertheless, the moment he arrived at Yasenia's side, floating above an upside-down cauldron, he lifted his chin and said in an arrogant tone. "Become my, Isiah's, contracted beast, dragon. Together we shall become unmatched. With my knowledge from the Medical Valley and your strength, no one will be our match."
By the time the others arrived, Isiah had already made his offer. However, instead of jumping and interrupting, they observed the dragon's response.
The beautiful creature continued looking around until her pupils thinned for a moment. Then, as if she had found what she was searching for, her head turned toward him, looking directly into his eyes.
Seeing that the dragon was actually listening, the others didn't lose a moment and also spoke aloud. The person that spoke first among the nine people was a woman. Her smile was seductive, and her aura very charming. She wore a beautiful purple dress and, unlike other dual cultivators, had a touch of elegance within all that seduction.
Moreover, when Yasenia turned her head toward her, she recognized her. It was the woman that tried to use seduction skills on her in the town. This happened right after her first night in the Town with Kali and Angel, so she remembered this particular woman. 'Hmm, in the end, she was someone important. She didn't come back to me, so it is possible she either learned her lesson or she was stalling time until she became strong enough.'
"Don't listen to him; I'm a much better choice. The recently formed Yin Yang Pleasure sect doesn't discriminate and can give you a great time~. You are a very beautiful beast, so we will make perfect partners. I, Qin Xue, am not picky, fufufu~."
A man holding a zither silently floated beside them. He was plucking strings while creating a slow and clear melody, very pleasant to the ears. "How about me, dragon? Our Harmony sect is the number one musical sect. Our songs will chant your tales, and our music shall be for you to listen to. Join me, and we shall become a legend in the World!"
Tang Xian and Long Baidi didn't miss the chance to join and also presented themselves. Their words were similar to the others, saying that Yasenia should make a contract with them and things like that.
However, the fact that they were also speaking like that made Yasenia realize something. 'Hoh~, they haven't realized my identity? That's nice. I may be able to gain something out of this. However, my strength burst is getting smaller as the surrounding energy re-assimilates with the World.'
As she listened, her thoughts spun rapidly. 'Although I'm more than enough to fight all of them simultaneously, that's only temporary. I shouldn't be too strong after this small burst. At most, I should be able to fight Isla and Jaxon simultaneously and win ninety percent of the time. My current realm is the first level of the Unification Realm, after all.'
Yasenia felt around herself and internally frowned. 'My body has regressed to an infant dragon. Even though my growth seems to be accelerated, my bodily strength is still developing and not much stronger than before. I will need at least a year to recover to my peak.'
After Yasenia reached that conclusion, Jaxon appeared beside them, flapping his five pairs of fleshy black wings, and ordered. "Beast, it is unlucky you were born here. Your only choice is to become a contracted beast. If you join me, you will have the most powerful race to back you up. Look around you; thousands of cultivators covet you, and the only group that can protect you from them all is mine."
The dragon turned to look at Jaxon, and its eyes locked onto the shield. 'Hoh~, that's Angel's shield. The one he stole from me in the tournament, [Heart of Glass].'
It was not "Angel's" shield, but, well, Yasenia's brain sometimes worked differently.
Yasenia's show of interest looked different in the others' eyes. It looked as if the beast was interested in Jaxon's offer since it had basically ignored them but showed a reaction after looking at Jaxon.
Their faces turned ugly, and they looked at Jaxon with murderous intent. All three that had appeared were not much weaker than Jaxon, so they didn't fear him. Their groups were also big enough that if the Demons tried to attack them, they would receive crippling damage.
Before the conversation continued, a flash of light illuminated the spot beside them, and the ethereal woman appeared. Five pairs of white, feather wings flapped beautifully. Her blonde hair danced in the wind as her grey eyes overlooked them with clear superiority. Isla said, "Don't listen; a dragon as sacred as you can only become part of the Divines. I won't force you to become my contracted beast, but you should ally with us. Unlike the others here, I won't tie you down with a contract, but you should promise to become my companion for some years."
Yasenia looked at Isla, and her eyes flashed with battle spirit. This woman was the one that beat her extremely badly in the tournament, and she wanted to have her revenge. However, now, it wasn't the moment for that. 'Hmm, the rematch can wait. More individuals are approaching.'
The next that appeared was Laurina in her dragon form. She was a giant ten-meter-long, green and gold dragon. Her presence wasn't any weaker than Isla's or Jaxon's, and the giant creature's majestic bearing was impressive.
The others frowned since, being a fellow dragon, Laurina's offers would be the most attractive. However, to their surprise, the giant dragon bowed her head and transformed into her human form. Then, while bending her upper body, she said. "Congratulations on being born. Laurina and [Nature Dragon] faction are under your command. No matter who is in your path, we shall slay them without holding back."
Four beasts flew behind Laurina and bowed their heads.
The first was a ten-meter-long half-black and half-white winged tiger that transformed into a handsome and perfectly muscular half-black, half-white haired man. "I, Razar, and the [Mountain Slashing Tigers] are at your command!"
A thirty-meter-long giant green and blue turtle was next that spoke after transforming into a human. "Gorena and the [Island Turtles] are at your command!" She was a very tall woman, similar to Andrea, with blue hair and green eyes.
The next creature that transformed was a ten-meter-tall lightning Quilin. "Frisk and the [Lightning Quilins] are at your command." He was a relatively short but handsome man with long blonde hair.
"Sirae and the [Ice Phoenixes] are at your command!" Said a beautiful and slender blue-haired woman who appeared after a blue phoenix transformed.
Seeing these five powerful creatures bow toward the recently born dragon was a problem for the others. Although they were confident in defeating them, at what cost would that be?
Nevertheless, when they looked back at the small dragon, they saw that the dragon's eyes were still locked on Jaxon.
Suddenly, she began to fly slowly toward Jaxon.
Everyone's faces changed, and their energy began rotating around them. Although they were speaking as if Yasenia had a choice, inside them, they would fight whoever Yasenia chose until the end.
Jaxon smiled and said, "I see that you are an intelligent beast. Let's make the contract."
However, when the dragon stopped in front of him, it pointed at the shield with one claw. The claw was a beautiful golden color, like the purest of golds, but it also gave a chilling glow as it felt that it could pierce through everything.
Jaxon was confused and looked at his shield. Then, he asked, "Are you asking for my shield in return for your loyalty?"
The dragon nodded.
Everyone paused and blinked twice. It was at that moment they all remembered that dragons are naturally greedy for treasures.
Without thinking much about it, they all took powerful treasures and showed them to Yasenia.
The first man, Isiah, said, "Don't be tempted by such a lousy shield. What can you do with it, anyway? I have plenty of pills of Transcendence level quality that will surely help your growth and development!"
The dragon, Yasenia, looked back at him, showing clear interest. Her lips arch in what they thought was a childish joy. However, inside the dragoness mind, this sentence was floating.
'Fufufu, maybe I can scam them of their powerful treasures.'
Meanwhile, seeing that they grabbed the mysterious dragon's attention, the others didn't hold back and showed precious treasures.
