Their eyes turned toward the opened gates, and a Dragoness that could only be described as a Celestial Goddess entered their eyesight.
A tall, seductive, curvy body wore a dress that did nothing to hide the voluminous breasts, supple skin, and thin waist.
The skirt was short in the front, barely reaching mid-thigh, revealing her long legs with soft and plump thighs.
A face that could steal souls away, golden eyes that could lock a person in place, and a head full of silky black hair that moved at the rhythm of the woman's walking speed, swaying the hearts of those that looked at her.
Around her slender and beautiful neck, a creature they couldn't identify shone with a beautiful luster as her violet scales reflected the sunlight. The beast had a small pair of golden eyes that blinked curiously.
Then, her aura and momentum were worthy of a superior, increasing her presence to something worthy of being called Celestial.
The starlight shining on her very long blue tail with golden rings gave the dragoness that mystical feel that enhanced the woman's existence and showed off her dragon heritage.
These harpies weren't prepared for the frontal visual stimulation, and all stood there stunned, their expressions somewhat loose as many mouths fell open.
Yasenia observed the three hundred naked harpies, her golden slit eyes scanning their strengths. 'The strongest is Ghana, but fifteen of that group are not too bad. Although the aura and strength the others give are not extraordinary, I can work with this. Not everyone must be a genius, after all. I'll need common people to take care of many things. However…'
Yasenia internally chuckled. 'Although I'm releasing a passive aura to deepen their impression of me, their expressions are quite amusing.'
Ghana spread her wings and folded them before her before leaning forward. "I welcome the Matriarch of the Astral Sky Clan, Lady Yasenia Dravory. As you asked, I've gathered my harpy sisters these last few days. Most of the other harpies are still in a wait-and-see situation. I hope the Matriarch can be generous and give time for them to decide."
Ghana straightened and solemnly stated. "From this moment on, we are all under your care!"
The other harpies were still stunned at Yasenia's beauty.
Thankfully Ghana's last exclamation made them snap out of their daze, and they also made the same gesture. "We'll be under your care!"
The voice of three hundred harpies was loud and clear, making the spectating powers curious.
Yasenia looked at Ghana and smirked. 'The little bird is very smart, wanting people to know that harpies have a new backer, so you made this small scene. Well, this is something good for me, so I can't complain.'
Yasenia sighed. 'It seems that Ghana is still too independent in some decision-making. I'll have to explain things in-depth. Doing good things is good, but she must understand that my working style differs from the City Lord.'
Yasenia wasn't bothered. 'Well, we've known each other for a week. It would be scary if she could adapt to my preferences on how to do things this quickly.
Yasenia didn't move and waited silently, thinking about these things.
Her sharp eyes didn't stay still as her gaze moved across the three hundred women, one by one.
Each time her golden slit eyes landed on someone, they felt like a heavy weight had fallen on their backs.
However, they didn't dare move, as if the coercion created by her gaze was enough to lock them in place.
Yasenia saw that a tiny number had slightly changed expression during this quiet time, indicating dissatisfaction. 'Hmm, interesting. Well, I don't blame them.'
'Even then, they should be a bit more patient with their future superior, and although I trust Ghana, I should do a clean-up as soon as we enter.'
Yasenia looked around silently and internally sneered. 'We've been watched for a while after my transformation event. I hope these powers are not too obvious and allow me to act on them.'
After a while, she opened her charming lips, allowing them to hear her mellow and intoxicating voice. "Good. I've heard your vow. Follow me inside, and we'll speak more in detail."
Then, she turned around and walked away.
The harpies breathed out a sigh of relief.
Her silence made most of them nervous. They felt a natural inferiority toward her, not in a wrong way, but in the sense of Yasenia being in a higher place in the hierarchy.
'A natural ruler.'
'A superior being.'
'An unmatched senior.'
Thoughts like that floated in their minds.
Ghana stepped forward and walked inside.
The other three hundred harpies walked behind Ghana, following her steps.
Meanwhile, one of the youngest silently squealed. "Oh, my Heavens! She is so gorgeous I thought my heart would explode!"
Another one nodded. "Sister, I understand. My talons almost gave away when I saw her. I still feel my body wobbly."
Another one had her eyes glued to Yasenia's back, and she swooned. "Sister, I'm in love. My life objective is becoming the Matriarch's concubine!"
A senior snorted. "Child, don't be so noisy."
The juniors felt a bit guilty and were about to apologize when they heard this senior harpy state. "You have to respect seniority. If the Matriarch were to choose a concubine, I should be chosen first!"
The younger harpies were speechless.
Ghana's eyebrow twitched. 'These horny bird brains. Do they think the Matriarch is deaf or something!? I should educate them harsher once we are accepted.'
Meanwhile, Yasenia was amused and almost laughed aloud. 'Quite an energetic bunch. I like them.'
Ghana felt her friend's gaze and looked at her.
However, those glittering eyes gave her a bad vibe. "Big sister Ghana, if you told us that our boss would be such a crotch-wetting woman, I would have come earlier!"
Ghana almost coughed up a lung. 'A crotch what!?'
Yasenia almost tripped when she heard that expression. Thankfully, dealing with Evelyn's strange praise daily had tempered her bearing to a terrifying point.
The other harpies who listened nodded. 'Quite an accurate description.'
Ghana didn't dare look down and see if the expression was literal or metaphorical, so she looked forward and walked as if nothing had happened.
All the harpies followed Yasenia inside, and the manor doors closed on their own.
The people outside began discussing and speaking about it. It was clear that the fact that this mysterious power seemed to be recruiting would soon spread around Koran City.
The harpies walked behind the dragoness, whispering to each other with shining eyes and their eyes observing her tempting swaying hips and tail.
Although they preferred males since they were a female race, Harpies were quite… omnivorous in general. Not to mention, Yasenia is not an ordinary dish but a succulent and flavorful world-class one.
The way her waist twisted with each step felt like a cat was scratching their little hearts, tempting them to walk face first into her alluring behind.
Yasenia ignored their gazes while thinking. 'Well, I didn't think they would react like this. Am I that attractive to Harpies? I thought the impact would be less since their race has many attractive women.'
What Yasenia failed to consider is that when you think you've seen the most beautiful and perfect thing, suddenly encountering something even more perfect can be an even greater shock.
Without losing time, Yasenia guided them to the back garden where her other dears were waiting.
The harpies had just looked at the Yasenia dish, only to be presented with six other delicious-looking ones.
This group of six women, one giant white wolf, and a hermit-crab-like creature was very eye-catching and seemed to have a wide variety of flavors.
They all had white robes and veils, making their beauty ethereal and mysterious.
However, they gave an individual charm that was hard to miss even when their faces were hidden.
Cecile was especially beautiful in their eyes as her silver wings charmed almost half of them into a daze one more time.
This time, Andrea also wore the same as others, a white dress with a veil.
Her tall, well-proportioned body looked heroic and handsome, and her aura was domineering.
Some harpies almost called 'mommy' when they saw her.
Yasenia walked to the middle of her dears and turned around, prepared to deal with the horny birds.
Andrea mentally communicated. 'Their eyes are quite hungry, hahaha.'
Kali blinked. 'I can even see a few looking at me when this veil only covers half my face.'
Tatyana chuckled. 'Harpies are very open in this regard, so expect receiving advances. I suggest not getting angry because although they are insistent, as long as you refuse them firmly, they won't pursue the matter.'
Yasenia chuckled. 'Dears, be patient with our future clan members.'
Yasenia could feel Cecile's irritation about it. However, this was just their culture, and they couldn't do much in the short term.
'Andrea, start designing something they can wear. It doesn't have to be a formal dress, but enough to hide them a bit. I don't care if they end up sexier. It's all about novelty. An item like that will sell like hotcakes for a while.'
Andrea nodded and noted it.
Yasenia began to talk to them. "I don't know how much Ghana has explained to all of you, so I'll repeat everything I want you to have clear. Listen attentively."
They all straightened.
"Our Astral Sky Clan has no foundation in this city. We can be considered a new power. Our intelligence is limited, and our main clan is far away."
The harpies frowned but kept listening.
Yasenia smiled. "However, our resources are deep, and our techniques and methods are unmatched in Distancia Continent."
Yasenia saw their doubt and continued. "I know this claim is outrageous. I know you don't believe it, and I don't ask you to believe it. I wouldn't believe it either. But it doesn't matter. Instead of words, I'll use my future actions to make this statement true."
Many different emotions flashed in their eyes.
Yasenia continued. "Even if I have that knowledge, we are new here. Therefore, our first step must be to create a stable operating base and place to grow roots so that we can become a titanic tree."
Yasenia spoke calmly and slowly, but the momentum behind her words was impressive, making these harpies' blood boil.
They felt as if they were witnessing the beginning of a new era.
Yasenia's face became serious as she asked. "Now, I want to know if you are a little more than pretty faces. I want to know if the women Ghana selected are here with playful interest or serious commitment."
Yasenia continued. "I'm willing to take you all in, but I don't keep waste by my side. Therefore, I ask, are all of you sure about taking this step and entering my power? Whoever leaves now won't receive any penalty."
Yasenia finished by saying. "I won't care about unrelated people leaving, and even if you want to leave later, I won't tie you down under certain conditions. However, once you snuggle below my wing and become part of my power, what I hate with my very soul is betrayal, and punishment for it will be beyond anything you can imagine. Therefore, take your time and think if you'll stay or not."
Yasenia then stopped speaking and silently looked at them.
