Cecile looked at the giant doors and asked. "Why did you not replace the building completely?"
"Hm? Are you asking why I am remodeling it instead of demolishing it?"
"Hm."
"I wanted to see the Live Material workers in action. Also, I don't want to use different architecture from the one in this city. The fewer details available to uncover our marks, the better."
"I see. This place should be able to hold at least three hundred people, right?"
"It could hold about one-hundred giants so that space should be enough for four-hundred people to live comfortably and create profession and training rooms."
Yasenia opened the main gate, and the giant doors slid open. With perfect control, the doors didn't make any sound.
Cecile commented. "It is my first time here. I didn't expect to feel so small."
Yasenia looked around and smirked. "Well, it would feel cramped if we were in our beast forms."
Cecile blinked and smiled. "True."
They stepped inside, and Yasenia was confused. "Where are they?"
"Squeak?"
Yasenia looked between her arms and saw Kaleina's poking head looking at her. Yasenia looked at the night sky through one of the windows in the main hall and realized. "Right, it's dinner time."
Cecile lifted an eyebrow. "You'll feed her now?"
Yasenia lowered her dress and revealed her breasts as she walked. "Why not?"
Kaleina was quick to latch onto the nipple and begin eating her dinner.
Cecile saw how Yasenia floated and continued moving forward to avoid shaking Kaleina with her steps and followed her example so that holding hands didn't become awkward.
She couldn't help but have a short chuckle escape her mouth.
Cecile said. "The girls should be in the general room. Since this place is made for giants, they decided to stay together in the mansion's west wing. At least, that's what I heard."
Cecile smiled. "Moreover, they have created a deep bond after fighting for their lives together on this Continent."
Yasenia lifted an eyebrow and scratched Cecile's palm. "As deep as our connection?"
Cecile heard the emphasis on the word "deep" and laughed. "I don't think they can go as deep as you love."
Yasenia giggled.
After a minute of floating around the mansion, they finally heard a few voices.
However, people were shouting, and Yasenia and Cecile could hear male voices.
Yasenia and Cecile looked at each other and quickened their speed.
In a few seconds, they arrived at one of the dining rooms in the mansion but didn't enter right away.
They looked through the semi-opened door and observed the situation.
One of the S.L.U.T.s shouted. "I told you our Senior sister is not for sale! Why are you being so stubborn? We were carried here by the Lady herself!"
A man with a red reptilian tail and scales covering his arms crossed his arms and sneered. "You lowly human slave! Do you know that I work below a manager in our clan? Nobody would say anything even if I took her away by force!"
A female with canine traits lifted her chin. "Right, who do you think you are to talk back to us? She should be grateful and open your legs like a good slut if we ask you."
Yasenia and Cecile didn't have to hear more, and their faces became frosty in seconds.
A dog man and woman, a lizard woman, and three other men with reptile traits glared at the thirty-one women group.
Luna was inside this group and protected by four S.L.U.T members.
There wasn't anyone injured, and since the surroundings were intact, probably only words had been thrown at each other.
The S.L.U.Ts would not take a word beating with their mouths clothes and began firing words in a barrage.
"Animal, are you deaf?"
"Not only are his eyes blinded for messing with us, even his ears are rotten."
"Look at that face. I can probably use those scales to make a cheese shredder."
"Have you seen the woman? She is so flat that I could iron my clothes on her."
Then, the one that was being targeted spoke. Her elegant and beautiful voice complemented her looks, with a perfect body and face that could charm thousands.
"You lizard brain-rot-filled animal. We told you we are the Matriarch's humans. Touching us will get you in trouble."
The woman's eyes looked calm, but their despise and disdain were almost overflowing. "Who thought that shit people like you managed to get into our Peerless Dragon Goddess' clan. You are lucky we don't have the authority, or we would be peeling your skin, chopping your limbs, and feeding them to you!"
The six beast human faces almost became blue because of anger.
Another S.L.U.T member sighed and spoke. "Senior Sister, don't bother. He probably acted properly outside. He fancied your beauty, and his head began functioning through his dick. So he gathered a few of his friends and came at night."
Another one spat on the floor below them. "His friends look as brain-dead as him. Even the two women are looking at you lustfully, Senior sister."
The elegant and beautiful woman that had spoken with the class until now blurted. "As if they can lay a hand on me. My body, soul, and pussy are junior Yasenia's!"
Yasenia almost choked with her spit. 'There it goes the previously built-up elegance.'
Cecile's eyebrows twitched wildly as her fingers flinched, intending to take out her bow.
However, the woman looked familiar to our Phoenix, and her mind began spinning. 'Where did I see her?'
Yasenia also heard the term "junior Yasenia," so she observed the woman in more detail.
Yasenia couldn't help but have her eyes light up. Even she had to admit her beauty.
She was a step below Angel and her girls whom her Dual Cultivation technique had nurtured, but this woman would be on the same level if that didn't happen.
If Yasenia were objective, her beauty would be at the same level as Yasenia's before taking the [Beauty Pill].
The woman's head was adorned with thick and glossy black hair gathered in a traditional hairstyle. Her eyes were large but slender, giving her an expressive but aloof glare.
Those two orbs were adorned by irises the color of emeralds, and her slender body complemented the long robe and her willowy eyebrows and thick eyelashes.
Her lips were thin and looked soft, and her nose was straight and small.
Her supple and white skin gained a silvery light thanks to the Moonlight pouring from the window, making everything around her become dull.
Each feature of the woman seemed painted by a soulful artist wanting to capture the beauty of a noble and imposing beauty.
Cecile didn't mind Yasenia's stare because Yasenia's feelings were clearly without an ounce of lust.
The feelings were honest and respectful admiration.
The shout coming from the dog man startled Yasenia, forcing her to refocus her attention.
It was the dog man who spoke. "Since you don't come willingly, I just have to force you. It would be a shame that a few of the Matriarch's slaves would disappear, but you left me with no choice."
The black-haired woman's green eyes were piercing cold. "Gibberish. No options? How about you leave with that filthy tail of yours between your legs?"
The man sneered. "I hope you can maintain that aloof and mighty expression when you are buried below our bodies and shouting in euphoria."
Cecile asked. "Should we intervene?"
Yasenia's lips arched in disdain. "Is there a need to? Of the girls present, Luna is the only one these people can beat."
Cecile realized. 'Right.'
The black-haired woman saw the man rushing toward her and sneered. "Scum like you being in Yasenia's clan is truly an insult to her greatness."
Luna saw the man with the intention to rush forward and grabbed the hand of one S.L.U.T member.
That woman looked back and saw the soul-depth terror in Luna's eyes.
She smiled reassuringly and spoke. "Don't worry, junior sister Luna. Look how your Senior sister deals with this trash."
Looking back with anxiety, Luna saw the man already before the Senior Sister, making her heart-rate rise.
When he reached with his hand intention to grab her neck, Luna saw how the Senior Sister elegantly raised her long leg and smashed the side of his face.
"[Flow Intent Level One]."
Cecile's and Yasenia's eyes opened wide.
*Bang!*
The foot that looked like she moved slowly sunk into the man's skull and deformed it.
The next instant, the man flew across the room like a meteor and smashed against a wall while spewing teeth and blood.
The Senior Sister slowly lowered her leg as her long cultivation dress flowed around her elegantly.
Luna's eyes flashed with a deep emotion before regaining their usual emotionless glow.
Yasenia heard Kaleina hiccupping because of the smash of the man against the wall and patted her head softly. The sweet baby purred and crawled into Yasenia's cleavage to have a nap since she had finished her dinner.
Yasenia lifted her dress and commented. "Although I didn't expect any less, she is exceptional. Very good."
Cecile snorted. "She kicked too lightly. I didn't hear the crunch of his skull. The blow only deformed it slightly and didn't break it."
Yasenia laughed. "They've been just running around without being able to study, so they still don't know the resilience of Body Cultivators."
"If you ask me, she kicked quite harshly. A Spiritual Cultivator of the same level would be barely alive after that kick."
Cecile nodded. "You are right."
Meanwhile, the five companions opened their eyes wide in fear. That man was the strongest among them and was blown away by a single kick. "Y-You, how are you so strong?"
The woman flicked her hair and looked at them coldly. "Not your business. Now carry that trash and leave."
The five of them were about to burst into rage, but they saw the woman turning around, and her demeanor changed.
A soft and beautiful smile spread on her lips as her aura relaxed and became calm and graceful.
"Matriarch, sorry for not being able to welcome you earlier. We were occupied because of them."
The other five had their eyes widen and hastily looked to the entrance.
The joy they felt while watching their gorgeous Matriarch was replaced by a deep fear as Yasenia crossed her arms while looking at everything coldly.
******************************************
Cecile: Beautiful?
Yasenia: Yes?
Cecile: Is that woman beautiful?
Yasenia: Um… Yes.
Cecile: I see…
Yasenia: Sweetheart, you are much more beautiful.
Cecile: I see.
The rest of the girls: (Why do I feel her mood is much brighter when nothing has changed from the way of saying it?)
Evelyn: Let's get with the questions.
Author: Wait-
Evelyn: I summon you!
Author: My catchphrase again (இ﹏இ`｡)
Lost_Universe: Hello!
Andrea: Hello for a second time~.
Lost_Universe: Um… How are you doing, Andrea?
Andrea: Is that the question?
Lost_Universe: Not at all, just asking.
Andrea: Oh, very sweet of you to ask. I'm doing excellent.
Lost_Universe: *Nods.*
Lost_Universe: Then, well. Here goes a question for Kali.
Kali: Oh? I'm listening.
Lost_Universe: What types of ingredients are required to create a pill of transcendent rank? Suppose you use an ingredient to craft an earth-rank pill. Can that same ingredient be utilized for creating a transcendent rank pill?
Kali: Not at all. For Transcendence ranked pills, you need either Transcendent ranked materials or very strong and powerful heaven-ranked materials combined with a skillful alchemist and a high-level recipe.
Kali: For example, Andera's armor has about seventy-four different materials. Of those, three are Transcendent. However, since Andrea was in the middle of enlightenment, she almost managed to create a Transcendent realm item.
Lost_Universe: I see. So there is a limit for each recipe.
Kali: Yes. You can always optimize them and increase their rank. However, a recipe can, at most, create things a rank above if they are in the mortal ranks, meaning Heaven and below.
Lost_Universe: You mean a middle-earth-ranked recipe can create mid-level heaven-ranked pills?
Kali: If used at maximum efficiency, it is possible. But, as I said, only possible. Doing something like that, in actuality, is very complicated.
Kali: I'm still new with Transcendent Realm recipes, so you should've asked Valeria if you wanted to know more in-depth.
Lost_Universe: No, it was enough. Thank you!
Kali: You are welcome, Lost_Universe. Please, keep supporting us~.
Author: Well, a concise and thoughtful answer from our Lady Fox.
Yasenia: Mine.
Author: Eh?
Yasenia: My Lady Fox.
Author: Cough, sorry. Yassy, you are becoming a bit possessive of them.
Yasenia: I'll take it into account. I'm also feeling the same.
Yasenia: Anyways, it's time to say goodbye, dears.
Author: Eh?
The girls: Bye-bye~.
Author: Wait, don't close it! Tsk. Have a nice day!
Lost_Universe: Goodbye.
