Yasenia was patient and waited until they ordered their ideas and thoughts.
With little Angel and Kaleina on her lap, Yasenia had no problem waiting since she could pamper them in the meantime.
"Mommy, play!"
Yasenia smiled and used her tail to place Kaleina on the table and then play fight with her.
Her arms tightly wound around Angel as she kissed her forehead occasionally and caressed her hair.
Angel squinted and took a deep breath, filling her nostrils with Yasenia's sweet floral scent.
After she saw half of the people present stop writing or grabbing the jade tablets, she stopped and carried Kaleina back into her embrace with her tail.
When she made sure she was comfortable, Yasenia asked. "What do you think? Well, seeing your faces, I can already guess. Still, I want to listen."
Ghana sighed and started speaking as the person with the most rank. "It was our mistake. As you said, we are not used to handling such high-level items and valued their price horrendously wrong. We'll do more market research in the future. Also, a big part of this seems to have happened because of the extra people we accepted in the clan, which, again, is our fault for not obeying your previously stated requirements strictly."
Yasenia nodded. "That's a good summary of what you need to polish. Here is a suggestion: Don't do the research in towns or cities similar to Koran City. Research must be done on cities under First rate powers and capitals."
A harpy in charge of managing a part of the treasury forward. "Matriarch, if we place those prices…"
Yasenia lifted a hand. "Let me finish."
The harpy nodded.
"Heaven-ranked items are precious and don't have to sell the first year they are released. They are rare, luxurious, and unique commodities not many can buy. A Heaven-ranked ranked treasure can go ten years without selling and still have the same price or even higher than before. They are timeless treasures because high-level fighters would break or feel the wear of time on them."
"Moreover, our clan can operate properly without the Heaven-ranked items being sold. The profit we get from Earth-ranked items is more than enough to create profits so high that we'll be able to expand soon. Heaven-ranked items should not be expected to be bought, only expected to be an occasional extra cash flow."
They all nodded firmly.
Yasenia said. "Before I hear all of your opinions, I'll tell you about the punishment."
The image of the six beast humans that died only a week ago flashed in their minds, making them sweat.
Yasenia commented. "As a punishment, your salaries will be reduced by half for the next year. That half will be used to compensate for the losses for these treasures and any losses we had in the Astral Sky Clan the last month. The amount to pay will be double the loss calculated. After the amount is paid, the punishment will also be lifted."
Hearing the reasonable punishment, they all sighed in relief.
"Yes, Matriarch!"
Ghana even asked. "Isn't this too little of a punishment?"
The others looked at her with unkind eyes. 'Can't you shut up before our beautiful but murderous Matriarch changes the punishment to something terrifying?"
Yasenia smiled. "Our Clan Shop has recently opened, and all of you are still accumulating Astral Points. Having fifty percent fewer Astral Sky Points means having to work fifty percent harder than others for the same price if you want a popular item. Think of those items you had planned on buying, and then think if you'll have enough by the time you planned with this percentage reduction."
Ghana coughed as her lips twitched. "It looks like enough punishment, Matriarch."
Yasenia smiled, but her smile didn't reach their eyes. "So, work harder and make up for your mistakes if you want to acquire those items. By working harder, you also benefit the Astral Sky Clan."
"Understood."
Yasenia commented. "Good, now each of you has five minutes to explain to me your thoughts." She pointed at the lowest-ranked person present and spoke. "We'll begin with you. We'll go from lowest ranked to Ghana, the highest ranked."
The person was surprised and quickly stood up. Then, he began explaining his thoughts on the matter, and Yasenia listened attentively while writing a report.
Angel being in her lap didn't bother her at all.
After two hours, with the time being midnight already, all of them finished their presentations.
"Hm. Not bad. Here are the things I found lacking and the ones I found really interesting."
Ghana took what Yasenia wrote, and they all bowed. "We'll be going, Matriarch."
"Good. Don't forget to change the prices on the Astral Sky Clan shop before the debt you have to calculate increases."
They all nodded and formally, but with quick steps, left the room.
Yasenia saw the door close and relaxed. 'This should be enough.'
While Yasenia sighed, a blonde-haired head and a purple and golden scaled serpentine face appeared in her vision.
"Yasenia, are you tired?"
"Mommy, tired?"
The voices of her two little fairies were like a refreshing spring that blew all her tiredness away.
Yasenia's eyes became so soft that they looked like gentle golden lakes.
"Angel, Kaleina, I want kisses~."
Angel smiled sweetly and began pecking Yasenia's cheeks while Kaleina used her arms to hold her mommy's face and lick her while purring.
Now that there were no people here, Angel could finally speak her grievances.
"Yasenia, I missed you!"
"Missed you!"
The dragoness's tail wagged happily as her two dears snuggled around her and asked for kisses and hugs.
"My~, what do you dears want? Even kisses are not relaxing you…"
Yasenia laughed gently and suddenly thought of something. "Wait for a second, dears."
Then, the two dears saw Yasenia lowering her dress and quickly revealing her beautiful pink nipples. "En, this should relax you~."
Angel and Kaleina were quick to each gain control of one nipple.
Even without asking, our dragoness was quick and proficient in cradling both her dears simultaneously while breastfeeding them.
Angel buried her face in the soft large breast and sucked with squinted eyes. The sweet, a bit thick, and savory milk relaxed her excited self to the point that she felt boneless.
Kaleina was coiled around the other and squeezed with her body while latching onto the other nipple.
She was quite an expert in this regard.
The feeling of breastfeeding had a calming effect that Yasenia appreciated. "Sigh, so comfortable."
She leaned back, and the chair she was sitting on slightly reclined back. The hole on the back of the chair also widened appropriately not to pinch the thick tail passing through it.
She couldn't describe how much she liked this situation. The peace she felt deep down in her soul was extraordinary.
She looked down and observed how her two dears joyfully got fed, the dragoness's heart melting in a puddle of love.
"Angel, Kaleina, I love you."
Gentle, deep, and soothing.
Those were the correct adjectives to describe Yasenia's voice at that moment.
When the others entered the room, Kaleina had already stopped feeding and had fallen asleep while coiling around her mommy's neck.
Angel was not much better.
After having her belly full of the nutritious and warm milk, Yasenia began caressing her belly in circles while gently swaying back and forth.
Resisting this kind of tenderness was not something Angel could do, so she was almost asleep, with half-closed eyes, while her breathing slowly slowed down.
Nobody talked until Kaleina and Angel fell completely asleep in Yasenia's comforting embrace.
After they fell asleep, their tone was soft to avoid waking them up.
"How was your day, love?"
Yasenia looked at Andrea and smiled. "Very productive. I managed to patch a few of the hidden problems that might become problems later down the line."
Kali asked. "Yasenia, did you see something interesting in the auction?"
Yasenia nodded and waved her hand toward the table.
More than twenty items appeared. "I thought that you might like any of these, so take those you like."
Evelyn smirked. "What if we like the same?"
Yasenia rolled her eyes. "Are you children? Speak between you and decide on who will get it."
Evelyn laughed lowly.
Andrea lifted her eyebrow and picked a strange cage-like thing. "What is this?"
Yasenia looked over and shrugged. "Who knows? It was Mom's idea to buy it."
Tatyana looked at that and thought about it. "Don't bother. It was to place it in the Astral Sky Shop as a sexual toy."
All the girls besides Evelyn were curious. "Sexual toy? A cage?"
Tatyana nodded. "Don't worry. It's not something you all need."
Cecile agreed. "Besides the necessary dildos that allow us to fuck Yasenia's pussy and feel as if it were ours, there really is nothing we need."
Kali coughed. "As blunt as ever, Cecile."
Cecile titled her head. "How would you say it, then?"
Kali shook her head. "Don't worry."
Cecile nodded. "By the way, have you tried those, Kali?"
Kali nodded with a blush. "Very comfortable. I didn't know it felt like that."
Tatyana sniggered. "It doesn't."
They looked at her one more time. "What do you mean?"
Tatyana commented. "Although you all think that Yasenia's penis is the best, I think that her vagina is marvelous, to be honest."
Yasenia blinked and remembered her masturbation attempts with her own tail. "Does it?"
Tatyana nodded. "You don't focus on those things, so it's normal not to realize."
Yasenia shook her head with a laugh. "Whatever. If all of you are happy, then I don't care if I'm strange down there."
Then, they conversed in low and peaceful tones to avoid waking them up.
The conversation was varied and went through all the night.
Yasenia didn't move; since she was a cultivator, having Angel and Kaleina cradled like that for a night didn't create any numbness.
The following day came, and the light from the expansive window in Yasenia's office hit Angel and Kaleina, making them wake up groggily.
The presence and soft body of Mama Dragon compelled them to rub against her supple and silky skin as the dragoness's slowly woke them up with caresses.
"It's morning, Angel, Kaleina. You have to wake up."
They both opened their eyes lazily and looked up at Yasenia.
The position was not exactly the same.
Yasenia had changed to a more comfortable armchair and positioned herself in front of the expansive window, surrounded by the other girls.
Angel mewled with a nasal and sweet voice. "Good morning, Yasenia~."
Yasenia leaned down and kissed her mouth softly. "Good morning, baby."
Kaleina rubbed her little head against Yasenia's cheek. "Morning, Mommy~."
"Good morning, dearest. Did you sleep comfortably?"
Kaleina smiled widely and said in a bubbly tone. "Comfortable!"
"I'm glad."
Our pampering dragoness tenderly kissed Kaleina's little mouth, face, and body, making her giggle happily.
Evelyn clutched her heart and said with a strained voice. "Sorry, girls. This is too sweet. I'm going first."
They thought Evelyn was about to make a performance, but under their nose, Evelyn moved quickly and blinked her violet eyes at Yasenia.
Who was Yasenia?
She instantly understood, and with a few maneuvers that lasted no more than ten seconds, Yasenia was now cradling Evelyn and Angel simultaneously while pampering her three little dears.
Then, Evelyn was defeated by fluffiness overload and joined Angel and Kaleina in melting between Yasenia's arms.
The others looked natural, but they were waiting patiently for the moment Yasenia stopped to get their early morning dose of Yasenium.
After Yasenia hugged, kissed, and acted coquettish with all of them, recharging their Yasenium batteries to the max.
She bathed together with all her dears in a morning session of pure and fluffy love. She, Tatyana, and Cecile left the clan with Ghana shortly after.
*******************************************************
Angel: Yasenia, Yasenia!
Yasenia: What's wrong, baby?
Angel: I- um.
Mirrory: *Spoiler* *Spoiler*
Mirrory: Tsk.
Author: Are you trying to spoil what will happen!? If I didn't block you, you would've spoiled the surprise.
Yasenia: Is this really going to happen?
Author: Well, it will.
Yasenia: Sadly, I'm not the same as that Yasenia. Well, good luck, me.
Author: Sigh. I summon you!
AARTAPPEL: Hello.
Kali: Oh? A new person. Hello.
AARTAPPEL: How are all of you doing?
Evelyn: Well, we learned that *Spoiler*
AARTAPPEL: Woah! I didn't ask for a spoiler!
Author: Don't worry, you will forget it once you exit this place.
AARTAPPEL: O-Oh, I see.
Author: Well, go ahead and shoot the question.
AARTAPPEL: Yes!
AARTAPPEL: This is for any of the seniors. Are the Sky Continent and Distancia Continent in a different star system or galaxies in the same universe, or are they in different universes?
*Seniors looking at Author*
Author: What?
Tatyana/Mirrory/Valeria: Can we answer without you blocking our words?
Author: I mean… be mindful.
Tatyana: Do any of you want to try?
Mirrory: Hm. The short answer is they are in a different plane or dimension.
AARTAPPEL: Oh?
Valeria: The Universe is divided into layers. Some call them Heaven Layers, others call them Grand Limits, and others call them Heaven's Ceiling.
Mirrory: Yep, it has many names.
AARTAPPEL: Why are they there?
Tatyana: It's quite easy. Imagine me going with my original body to Distancia.
AARTAPPEL: O-Oh…
Tatyana: Yes. Although the strongest cultivators are important, lower cultivators are what keeps the world going. Without low-level cultivators, the Universe would only head to destruction.
Mirrory: Hence, there are limits depending on the quality of a World.
Mirrory: This will be explained later, but the realm of a World can increase, and when it increases to a certain extent, it can "ascend."
AARTAPPEL: Worlds… cultivate?
Valeria: They are not conscious beings, though. It's more like…
Tatyana: They follow the "basic laws" of the Universe. In your mortal world, Physics is an unavoidable existence, right? Well, in our Universe, Heavenly Laws are unavoidable… Although not completely, we can become strong enough to manipulate those basic laws.
Mirrory: Even then, manipulating those laws only happens inside a certain area. You don't spread the influence throughout the Universe.
Valeria: Well, it depends, right? Becoming that strong should be possible.
Mirrory: Well, and the probability of a human spontaneously creating itself through sheer coincidence is also not zero.
The rest: …
Author: This has gone a bit more in-depth than I wanted, but it's a good summary for the answer, right?
AARTAPPEL: Wait, I don't know where Distancia and Sky Continent are situated.
Author: As if I would tell you such a spoiler, hahaha.
AARTAPPEL: Tsk.
Author: This is all for today. A very interesting [Celestial Theater] that will be explored in detail when our girls are much stronger!
