The three sides looked at each other awkwardly. They didn't expect Yasenia to leave so suddenly. However, Jaxon also wouldn't begin his attack on the beast group.
The only reason Isla could probably find for fighting with him was to stop Yasenia. Now that she was gone, it was impossible for her to stay arms-crossed and do nothing if he decided to kill the beasts. Therefore, with a voice that was filled with repressed anger, he shouted, "Disperse and search for Yasenia! I want her dead!"
Jaxon's command was like a trigger, and everyone began dispersing. Even Isla's group and the beast group went their way.
Just like that, this tense situation fizzled without a conflict.
However, had Yasenia really left? She didn't!
With Valeria, Mirrory's, and Angel's help, they hid in a relatively close area. Their mastery of formations and the natural life around them make it extremely hard to spot. That's why it appeared as if they had disappeared as soon as they entered the forest. Instead, they were quite close, overlooking what was happening.
There were various reasons for this.
Yasenia had planned to see how things developed.
The first option she had in mind was if Jaxon decided to begin a fight against the beasts; although a stupid decision, it was possible since he might be so angry at her that he would act irrationally.
Acting emotionally to release emotions is not strange at all, so taking out his anger in killing that group of beasts and humans wouldn't be strange.
If that happened, Isla would most likely join the beasts against Jaxon and take advantage of the situation to gain more followers and strike down her enemy. In Yasenia's mind, Isla wasn't someone who despised her but felt she was growing too fast and being a menace to her future plans.
However, their situation wasn't so bad that this could only be solved by either of them dying. The main reason for that is what Isla wanted and what Yasenia wanted. Yasenia wasn't interested in becoming a leader or an Empress. She was interested in creating a safe space for her offspring and her dears.
In short, she wanted to create a family clan that would not meddle with World politics and is a neutral party.
With that in mind, Yasenia had planned to reenter the fight when the battle started.
With Isla fighting on the beast's side, she wouldn't be able to switch sides suddenly. She carried the banner of righteousness, so stabbing people in the back when she began fighting with them would look terrible.
Therefore, in a somewhat forceful yet natural way, Yasenia would be able to ally with Isla.
With a powerful ally, she would deal a massive blow to the demons using Isla's side strength and her own. Of course, even if Isla decided to stand on the side and do nothing, Yasenia would also attack Jaxon's group to save those beasts. They've supported her, after all, so giving a hand wasn't overboard.
However, it was extremely far-fetched for Isla not to participate in the battle and help.
The other option was what happened, everyone dispersing without attacking. In that case, Yasenia had also thought up something. In the place they were hiding, Yasenia related through Cecile, "Keep track to which direction our enemies dispersed to. We will begin to hunt them down in about ten minutes. They've lived long enough, and now that we know their location, it is quite a good moment to kill most of them."
They all nodded and paid attention. Valeria took the chance and approached Yasenia. The dragoness looked at the extremely tall green woman and tilted her head.
Valeria crouched down and tapped her forehead. "Learn this skill in the meantime, Yasenia."
With Valeria's touch, Information flowed inside Yasenia's brain for ten seconds. Yasenia understood what kind of skill it was and began learning it immediately.
The others saw Yasenia stay still, as if she was stunned by Valeria's touch, and blinked, confused. Kali asked calmly, knowing Valeria wouldn't hurt Yasenia. "What did you do, Valeria?"
She was so sure because of the conversation she had had with her some days ago. She still remembered how shocked she was when Valeria asked her the following.
***
"Kali, do you mind if I and Yasenia deepen our relationship?"
At that time, Kali asked back, confused. "Deepen? In what way?"
Valeria was sitting on the sofa with Kali on her lap, so she said directly. "Well, having children with her, maybe falling in love in the far future, who knows?"
Valeria felt Kali freeze in shock, so she lowered her head to kiss her cheek. "I will only do this if you accept, Kali. You are and will be my most important person. That won't change."
Kali looked at Valeria's gentle expression and blushed bright red. She fidgeted with her hands, her two fox-tails coiling around Valeria's waist as she whispered. "O-Okay, you can. H-However, I just froze because I didn't expect that question. But if you two become closer, I will be very happy." Valeria found Kali very cute, so that day, she carried her around everywhere the group went.
***
With that in mind, Kali was sure that not only would Valeria not hurt Yasenia, but she also entered into the people she would protect. Valeria chuckled and answered Kali's question. "I think it is inconvenient to communicate through Cecile all the time, so I'm teaching her the [Spirit Sense Communication] technique. This could take anywhere from a day to a week, but I know that with her comprehension abilities, she will learn rather fast. Once we have a small time frame to rest, I will teach you all that skill too."
And to prove her point, Yasenia's mellow and bone-softening voice echoed in their heads two minutes later. "Thank you, Valeria. I was becoming frustrated that I couldn't talk to my dears."
Valeria crouched and petted Yasenia, "Not a problem. So, may you enlighten this old woman and say the name of your bloodline?"
Yasenia's eyes blinked in surprise, "I thought I shouted it quite loudly before I transformed?"
Valeria rolled her eyes, "That's something you called yourself. Do you think the title Spirit Queen is something you gain out of nowhere? I want to know the real name."
Mirrory's bad habit kicked in as she taunted, "But you still would have to bow before my master."
"Previous master." Valeria retorted. "Your new master is so cute and kind; she wouldn't tell me to kneel. Right, little Angel?"
The tall, voluptuous lady's gentle smile was a lady-killer. Angel blushed and nodded. Valeria bent forward almost ninety degrees, making those massive mountains bounce powerfully, and pinched Angel's red cheeks. "You are so cute~."
Evelyn's mouth was hanging open, "My Heavens, Yasenia, you are flat-chested compared to her."
*Bang!*
Yasenia's tail slapped her as she rolled her eyes. "Of course, I will be small compared to her. You are comparing me to someone that has double my height and the same body proportions. Shameless."
After making her seventh backflip, Evelyn stood up and said seriously, "However, my love. In all seriousness, why is your dragon body so slender? Where are your dragon tit-?"
*Bang!*
This time, she spun horizontally and vertically, simultaneously making Angel and the others applaud. "Impressive. I didn't know that control was biologically possible."
"Masterful use of the tail."
"Did she train during her twenty years in the trial? I really can't relax, or I will be left behind."
"As expected from Yasenia! She doesn't forget to train anything, even her Tail-slapping Dao!"
Yasenia's lips twitched. 'What the hell are they talking about? I didn't train my tail-slapping Dao!'
Evelyn stood up again, unscathed, and said. "My love, I have a very serious question!"
Yasenia resisted the tail slap she almost sent reflexively and motioned her to go ahead.
"Will we be able to have a taste of your dragon dick and pu-?"
*Bang!*
Yasenia sighed, "I don't know why I bother."
However, when she turned and saw five pairs of eyes locked on her, she froze. 'What are those expecting eyes? Why are their eyes shining with curiosity!?'
Her dragon face became strange as she asked, "Do you really not mind doing it in my current state? I mean, I'm not partially human or anything. I'm really a full-fledged dragon. Where is the attractiveness to that?"
All of them shook their heads in sync. Andrea laughed, "I think we are all quite eager to have a taste, to be honest. It should be a fresh experience."
Cecile muttered, "Are you bigger? Can I look?"
Evelyn thought aloud, "Can you lactate?"
Angel and Kali blushed and looked elsewhere, their minds imagining who knows what.
Yasenia turned her head, embarrassed. "I-I thought you would mind. Isn't it strange to have a full dragon as a lover for all of you? You were raised as humans, after all."
Cecile approached and patted her head, kissing her lip-to-lip once. "Why would we mind, my love? We love you as a whole, not only your physical shape. We will continue taking care of your needs no matter your form."
Yasenia turned and looked at them with her reptilian eyes. She smiled, her eyes bending in crescent moons. There weren't any sharp angles in Yasenia's face that made her look ferocious. On the contrary, she had quite rounded and beautiful facial features. Just standing still, she would look elegant, with human characteristics on her face that made her look gorgeous. This smile which curved her eyes, even as a human, looked extremely fitting and would look beautiful even from a normal human's viewpoint. With such a lovely face, she transmitted softly. "I love you."
They couldn't help but look stupidly at the dragoness. 'Although we didn't mind, since when were dragons this attractive!? Are we blinded by our love, or is Yasenia even beautiful in her dragon form!?'
Yasenia snorted with laughter at their faces. Then, she looked toward the place where the groups were previously gathered and saw that it was mostly empty. She was about to ask if they kept in check where did their targets go, but she stopped speaking as someone approached.
The others also realized and tensed, looking toward where they came from.
Lidia, Linda, and Laurina appeared, followed by the beast leaders and other people. They were all searching for them. Lidia spoke aloud, "Munchkin! Where are you? Big sister misses you~."
Angel immediately asked, "Do we reveal ourselves?"
Yasenia shook her head and said, "I know you want to see your big sister, but we have more important things to do right now. Although I wouldn't mind taking them in since they are all in the Unification Realm, I also want to spend some time with all of you. Moreover, although they are in the Unification Realm, they aren't strong enough to fight directly against those we will fight with. Let's go."
Angel said, "Can I give her one of our communication device sets? We've each have four, after all."
Yasenia nodded. "You should leave a note and pass it to her stealthily." Angel did so, and then they moved far away from there.
Lidia felt something above her and prepared her sword. However, since they were two items that didn't give any danger sense, one orange with a blue core and another orange with a green core, she caught them. A message was heard right after, "Sorry, big sis, but we've got things to do. Once we are done with it, I will communicate with you. Keep them safe. By the way, they don't work inside spatial rings!"
Lidia pouted, "Munchkin, you are so bad."
Angel answered through the device, "Sorry, big sis. Once I can speak more, I will communicate. Goodbye, I love you!"
Lidia sighed, "I love you too, be careful."
