After seeing Evelyn's eyes looking at her, Yasenia rubbed her forehead and sighed.
Cecile commented. 'Don't feel pressure to save her, my love. There are many like her, and you can't save everyone.'
Yasenia nodded. 'I know, don't worry. I won't blow our cover over a random female, even if she is as such.'
Andrea asked. 'Then, what are you thinking about?'
Yasenia commented. 'I have a plan to fulfill during this tournament, and I think she is quite a good starting point. However, unlike the perfectly planned one, this action would need improvisation.'
Angel commented. 'Take her, then. I trust in your skills with my heart, Yasenia.'
Kali nodded. 'Our trust in you is as such. Moreover, you have Mother-in-law to correct you in case you make a dangerous decision.'
Tatyana smirked. 'That's true. I've been a bit passive lately, my love. I can always interfere if you want.'
Yasenia chuckled. 'I love all of you to bits. Although it wasn't within my plan, I can use this situation.'
Yasenia looked at the woman grabbing Evelyn's dress like a lifeline, and a sigh left her mouth. 'Moreover, even a rock would be moved by her situation.'
Cecile snorted. 'Liar. I can feel your heart as calm as a lake. Even if she is beaten to death before you in a horrible way, you would feel nothing for her.'
Yasenia's mouth twitched. 'Although I haven't made any attempt to hide that lie, can you all at least nod obediently and follow my thoughts.'
Kali chuckled. 'We already know that you are warm on the outside but brutally cold on the inside for others, dear. No need to try to look otherwise.'
Andrea laughed. 'Our love is a cold-blooded dragoness, which we understand very well.'
Angel blinked. 'I bet even killing her passed your mind as an option when she reached for Evelyn.'
Yasenia rolled her eyes. 'I'm going to fill all of you tonight until you make stupid faces.'
The four coughed and blushed a bit, quite expectant for the night to come a bit faster.
All of them except one.
Tatyana responded. 'Hoh~? I'm looking forward to it. I really want to have a crazy night until someone can't even move.'
Yasenia wanted to cry. 'Since Mom appeared, I can't even win in bed. Okay, let's get to business.'
Angel snickered. 'She is escaping from Mommy Tatyana.'
Yasenia looked at the judge and spoke aloud for everyone to hear. "Judge. How much does the blue-dressed slave cost?"
Her voice was like a wave that silenced most people who heard her, as the attractive tone captured many hearts.
Everyone got silent when Yasenia's mellow and charming voice spread in the stadium.
Yasenia didn't stand up or make any obvious gestures, but everyone who spotted her sucked in a deep breath.
'Heavenly Beauty!'
'A woman that matches the stars.'
'What kind of Divine Creature is her?'
Yasenia leaned on her chair, emphasizing her large breasts, as the low-cut blue dress barely covered her skin. Moreover, the short frontal skirt left her crossing long and thick legs bare for the world to see.
It looked like the slightest movement would show her glory to everyone looking.
Then, at the end of the long legs, she wore comfortable footwear that left most of her dainty, beautiful feet in the air.
Her long black hair, gorgeous face, and indifferent golden slit eyes highlighted her beautiful fair skin. Meanwhile, the extremely long tail circled two women at the side once as most of it rested on their laps, Angel's and Tatyana's, who were massaging it with care.
Yasenia saw the judge looking at her stupidly and raised an amused smirk. "Judge, I'm talking to you."
The man snapped out of his daze. "Excuse me, this is shameful to ask, but what was your question?"
Yasenia chuckled aloud, making many lose strength in their legs. "I was asking whether that blue-wearing human female is for sale. I'm interested in buying her."
Elder Song at the side frowned. "Lady Yasenia, that human female has been used too much. Isn't it a bit dirty having her by your side?"
Kali couldn't help but cringe a bit, something Yasenia caught.
A burning fire ignited inside Yasenia as her sharp gaze turned toward the woman. Then, Yasenia answered Elder Song with a cold and murderous tone for the first time. "That's none of your business, Song Woman. Even if I want a woman that is being fed shit, you have no right to interfere."
Everyone couldn't help but shudder at the change of tone. It felt like winter had arrived, and many fantasizing minds stopped the wild thoughts out of pure fear.
"S-Sorry. You are right, Lady Yasenia." Elder Song's face was pale as the weight her golden eyes pressed on her was surreal.
Yasenia stretched her hand to grab Kali's hand, turned toward the judge, making him flinch, and asked again. "Are you mute or something? Or is my speech not understandable?"
Kali looked at Yasenia's cold face, and her heart beat rapidly as fluffy and fluttering feelings danced in her stomach.
Valeria chuckled. 'Her love for you is almost palpable.'
Kali's tails wagged as she secretly smiled sweetly. 'I know.'
Meanwhile, the judge answered quite fearfully. "N-No, No. I'm sorry. I'll ask right away if you can buy her."
The judge reacted and asked through a communication device to the tournament organizers.
These people called the leader of the Five Shadow Fang, where the woman came from, and asked the older woman what she thought about it. "Interesting… Give it to her, but the price must be very high. Someone like that human toy wouldn't even sell for a Spirit-graded treasure, so increase the price for the woman to the dress she is wearing."
The tigerkin at the side lifted an eyebrow. "Quite treacherous. An Earth-ranked item for that used thing? Are you trying to scam this dragon woman?"
"Huh, but Lady Fang, does that woman have the authority to allow that?"
"I don't care. She should ask the owner of that human slave and negotiate or something."
"I want the dress for my great-granddaughter, and I won't accept anything else."
The judge frowned and looked back at Yasenia. Then, he said carefully. "The dress she is wearing is the price. If you can convince the human who created it to give it to us, you can get her."
Yasenia nodded and ordered. "Give it to them. I want the human. A little Earth Rank treasure you created in an hour is too good, but it's not something expensive either way."
Elder Fang's lips twitched as the tiger kin laughed aloud. "You slapped yourself a bit harshly, Fang Xue Xian."
"Shut up, Huo Yang, I got an Earth-rank treasure from literal garbage, so I think I should be applauded for that."
Evelyn answered respectfully. "Yes, Matriarch. I'll give it right away after the judge gives me the passing grade."
This answer created another small commotion.
"Is that divine woman the human tailor's master?"
"I wonder which power they are from."
"I can see elders from five out of the nine sects around her. She must be an influential person."
"Yes, she even snapped at one of them, so her standing must not be low."
The girls and other elders looked surprised at Yasenia. Jorey commented. "An Earth-rank treasure? Isn't that a bit too much?"
Yasenia lifted an eyebrow. "It is just an Earth-ranked treasure that my tailor created in an hour. I'll have a few hours of fun with that woman, so the trade-off is quite good, I would say. Moreover, that woman is not broken."
Elder Huo from the earthly sword sect asked. "What do you mean?"
Yasenia looked at the human female with interest and commented. "Didn't you see how she reached out for Evelyn's clothes? Even after who knows what kind of abuse, there is a spark inside her. I can bet that any of you would be mentally dead."
They all were surprised at Yasenia's words and looked at that woman with interest.
Elder Mao chuckled. "Your eye for humans is exceptional."
Yasenia corrected. "Only for human females."
Elder Yu laughed aloud. "Only human females? Who would've thought that the most beautiful woman I've ever seen is so attracted to other females?"
Jorey nodded and asked seriously. "Right. With your beauty, us, other women, must look all mediocre. Why do you like females?"
Yasenia answered while leaning on her hand. "I prefer fragrant and soft bodies to the too-hard and strongly scented ones from males. There are more reasons than that, though. I'll tell you if I find it adequate."
Elder Song and the others nodded. "Well, I can understand your point of view. Moreover, I also sometimes feel pity for them. Humans are quite miserable."
Jorey smirked. "I've decided! I'll change the slave policies once I return. After interacting with Andrea and the others, I really can't treat them as I did in the past. I can't help but feel like they have some wasted potential that can be brought forward."
Yasenia chuckled. "Good luck with that."
The others also got thoughtful, and these thoughts planted a tiny seed in their hearts.
After the stipulated hour, the first round finished.
Then, the judge went one by one, observing the clothes on the humans.
When it was Evelyn's turn, he was awed by the beauty of the dress and nodded. "Contestant Evelyn, really well done. The following stages also need a model, and since your master has bought this woman, you can use her from now on."
Evelyn nodded. "Thank you, I'll do my best not to disappoint the judges."
The judge smiled and continued walking.
Evelyn looked at the woman that hasn't released her clothes and spoke. "My master has bought you. You'll be happy from now on."
She didn't say much, just two sentences that could resonate with her.
The woman's facial expression remained still, but a single tear slid down her cheek while her fingers tightened on the white robe. She was hoping with her entire being that this all was not a dream, that she would not wake up again in that hell where rest was a luxury.
Evelyn smiled and asked. "What's your name?"
The woman looked at Evelyn, but she stayed still. Her mouth didn't move, and her eyes remained like a dead fish's gaze.
She did not receive an answer, so Evelyn got thoughtful and spoke. "Maybe you don't even have a name. How about I call you Luna until I think of something better?"
Sierra chuckled. 'Are you giving her my previous name?'
Evelyn snorted. 'I should put to use the one you rejected.'
Tatyana asked privately to Yasenia. 'Did she remind you of Kali?'
Yasenia smiled helplessly. 'I can't hide anything from you.'
Yasenia looked at Luna, whom she still didn't know the name of, and said thoughtfully. 'I can imagine that my honey was similar to her after her event. Although I really feel nothing for this woman, I can't help but reach out a small olive branch.'
Yasenia sighed as she gathered Kali in her arms and kissed her forehead. 'Moreover, her reaching out is a sign of not giving up. Her courage reminded me of Kali's courage in confessing her love to me, a scene I keep like a little treasure in my heart.'
Yasenia chuckled as Kali's verdant green eyes looked at her shyly, and her two fluffy tails wagged happily because of the kiss. 'Therefore, I thought about using her for my plan and helping her. I felt like I would lose something important if I didn't do so. Being cold-blooded is one thing. Acting completely like an emotionless machine is another. Not feeling something doesn't mean I can't act on what is rationally correct as a moral action or that I can't understand the feeling. I won't do this much, but doing it occasionally will probably avoid something I don't want to happen.'
Tatyana nodded. 'Don't worry, little treasure. You can do whatever you want. Experiment, feel, have many experiences and learn from them. Build yourself up from all of that, and reach a result you are satisfied with. I will never leave you, even if, in the future, you feel nothing for the outside world. I'm your eternal companion, a little shadow that will follow you until the end.'
Yasenia used her tail and also gathered Tatyana between her arms, kissing Kali and Tatyana on their lips as she cradled them with a happy smile.
Kali and Tatyana looked at each other and saw the pampering smiles in their eyes. 'Our dragoness/my little treasure is super adorable.'
The judge announced the results, and Evelyn advanced without any suspense.
The bunny woman that previously attacked Evelyn also advanced. She was not too far from Evelyn, so she closed her arms and sneered. "Not bad for a human. But with that skill and speed, you'll fail the next section. Moreover, what a shitty master you have, buying a used toy like that. Does she like rubbing against used humans or something?"
Evelyn disappeared from her spot and, like a lightning bolt, appeared before the bunny woman, holding a short sword and aiming it at her neck. "Woman. I've told you not to speak to me before. I don't care how much you insult me. I'm a slave, after all. However, if you dare put one more word in your filthy mouth about my master, I'll kill you."
The bunny woman felt Evelyn's killing intent, and her eyes widened in fear. 'She is not lying!'
The judge interrupted and commented. "Participants, stop before you are disqualified."
Evelyn snorted and returned to her post slowly.
"Have you seen her move?"
"That human is so fast!"
"She was very slow. You weren't looking attentively."
"Right, I could see your eyes almost popping out of your skull after the human flashed beside the bunny woman."
Evelyn ignored everyone and refocused on the judge.
Although our girls didn't mind acting like Yasenia's slaves, they had a bottom line. That was someone insulting Yasenia.
Their dragoness was something other people better leave out of their mouths, or our girls would be like a pack of wolves pouncing on them.
