The following morning, Yasenia woke up earlier than usual to cultivate.
She silently escaped being buried under her dears and took her sleeping little dragoness with her.
Kaleina groggily blinked, but when she felt the familiar caresses from her mommy, she closed her eyes again and sighed through her nose.
The reason Yasenia woke up early was because of her promise to Kali. She had to cultivate extra because of her use of Blood Essence back then to advance what she would usually do.
By now, Yasenia and all of the girls were on the verge of a breakthrough to the next level.
Yasenia also felt much closer because of Tatyana's and Valeria's Yin energy. Added to this, the absurd amounts of energy she could absorb, she was confident in breaking through today.
After arriving at her room, Yasenia sat cross-legged after she left Kaleina on a cushion at the side.
The Sun wasn't even up, and the sky was dark. However, there was a hint of blue on the horizon.
She closed her eyes and activated the energy-gathering formation.
Her pores opened, and her tail's energy-absorbing quality activated. The still air in the room slowly moved as energy began gathering toward the dragoness.
With each breath, Yasenia absorbed the energy of the world.
Her meridians absorbed her surroundings' Sun, Moon, and Star energies while her body worked to expel everything else.
From her meridians, the energy rotated and was absorbed into the Dantian.
When the energy entered her Dantian, her [Primordial Energy Core] absorbed it and transformed it into pure and personal energy.
That energy was like a stream of multicolored light that moved across her [Solar System Dantian]. A large part of it went toward the center, where the [Celestial Energy Star] resided. The rest was divided across the [Celestial Pearl]. [Draconic Heart], and her own body.
Inside her Dantian, her three intents, her [Empyrean Galaxy Domain], and the energy everything swam into rotated around the Celestial Energy Star as Yasenia's cultivation reached the limit of consolidation.
'I can't have a stronger foundation. Now, let's breakthrough. I should use a bit from Valeria's Yin energy and another bit from Mom's Yin energy.'
The pure green ball and pure black ball floating near the [Celestial Energy Star] and being suppressed by it let out a few strands of energy to be absorbed.
Yasenia absorbed the accumulated Yin energy in her Dantian and combined it with the energy absorbed from the surroundings to nourish her body.
The energy streams across her meridians nourished her soul, dantian, organs, bones, muscles, and marrow.
Then, her aura condensed as her understanding of the soul increased.
The objective in the Unification Realm was, as the name said, having your Soul, mind, Dantian, and body become tightly connected.
Before this realm, they could be considered different parts of a cultivator. However, after the Unification Realm, everything came together as a whole.
Yasenia needed to understand and perceive the existence of the soul for the first three levels.
For the following three levels, from the fourth to the sixth, the cultivator had to create a link between those four.
Then, from level seven to nine, the cultivator made everything connect and fuse into one.
Finally, a cultivator needed to spiritualize a Dantian when breaking through into the half-step level. This meant making a physical organ into something spiritual, which was possible only because of the Unification of Soul, Body, Mind, and Dantian.
After spiritualizing the Dantian, the energy reserves would become much larger, and the cultivator would also be able to harness the power of their soul into the battles.
This step was also crucial for Body Cultivators as their bodies would be enhanced by their souls, making it easy to display the innate attributes physically.
Yasenia quickly pushed through that bottleneck, and almost without resistance, she broke through.
A wave of deep pressure surrounded Yasenia, but it didn't damage anything nor bother the sleeping Kaleina.
Her body was strengthened, and the dragoness's strength, comprehension, and abilities multiplied.
Her energy condensed into a purer and more concentrated form.
The Solar System in the Dantian also had a few changes. The Celestial Energy star in the middle became larger, and the other items became more refined at a glance.
Yasenia felt her grow while her body purified any impurities that might have appeared.
When she opened her eyes again, she looked down and saw a very light grey, almost transparent, sweat all around her body.
The smell of this sweat was not pleasant, making her frown. 'So, I had a few impurities. Hm… What might it be? The food? After all, what I cooked for a while was not Spirit Food until a few days ago, so eating mortal food might have created a few impurities.'
The dragoness stood up and went toward the bathroom.
While taking a shower and cleaning herself, the light grey matter slid down her curvaceous body.
The dragoness lifted her breast to clean the underboob and those places she couldn't see. 'Hm, having prominent curves can be bothersome in these regards.'
She had a mirror that couldn't fog in her personal shower to help her look at these places.
After rinsing, our dragoness blinked. 'Hmm, did my body change?'
Yasenia observed herself and didn't find anything out of place. 'I look basically the same. Maybe when I'm not wet, I will see if there are any changes.'
Yasenia exited the shower and dried herself with a flick of her fingers.
Then, she sashayed her wide hips and walked in front of a full-body mirror at the side.
She looked into a mirror and saw almost no difference. 'My skin is a bit more supple? Hmm, it looks like if I were to put a light layer of cream. The difference is only noticeable when I'm naked, though.'
She used her fingers to touch her skin and lifted an eyebrow, muttering. "A bit more… smooth? The girls should like it."
Yasenia felt something hugging her ankle and looked at her feet in the mirror. While at home, she didn't like using Spiritual Sense actively. However, she was always alert, just in case.
Seeing the little thing slowly climbing up her leg, her face softened as she crouched down to take her between her arms. "Kaleina, my baby, when did you come inside?"
"Now!"
Our dragoness laughed softly. "Now? Why did you come, Kaleina?"
Kaleina smiled and hugged Yasenia's face, licking her. "Missed, Mommy."
Yasenia kissed her and corrected her. "Add an 'I" dear. You have to say who missed Mommy."
Kaleina blinked her clever golden eyes. "I missed Mommy!"
"You are so clever, baby. I also missed you a lot, dearest."
Kaleina bit Yasenia's cheek playfully. "Mommy didn't play with Kaeia yesterday!"
Yasenia walked out laughing and listening to her little daughter talk. Whenever Kaleina would want to bite her cheek again, Yasenia playfully moved her face and kissed her little mouth, making Kaleina giggle.
"Yasenia, what are you… Oh."
Yasenia looked at the side while still completely naked and saw Evelyn standing there. Her eyes roamed her body unabashedly.
'Hm? Her skin looks so good.'
"Did you use some kind of cream or something, Yasenia?"
"No, this happened after I broke through."
Evelyn was speechless. "Wait, this is your natural skin?"
Yasenia nodded, and Evelyn gulped. "Yasenia, how do you become even more beautiful each time I see you? Isn't this too unfair for the rest of the world?"
Yasenia chuckled. "Why did you come, dear?"
Evelyn reacted, and first of all, she walked forward and dived into Yasenia's naked embrace. "Oh, my heavens. You are so soft, smooth, and tender now. I would really like ramming my dildo between these breasts or being buried by them as you fill my holes."
"Didlo!"
Yasenia, who was about to laugh, heard Kaleina's exclamation, and her face darkened.
Evelyn's mouth twitched. 'I fucked up.'
*BANG!*
Yasenia looked at Kaleina and smiled. "Not like that, dearest. She said dilute."
Kaleina blinked. "Dilute?"
Mama Dragoness nodded. "Yes. Dilute is when you put something into a liquid, and it disappears. Like this."
Yasenia took out a glass of water and threw powder into it, then, revolving it with her energy, the water turned green.
Kaleina's golden eyes widened, and she looked at her Mommy with adoration. "So fun!"
The dragoness who expertly escaped the trap smiled softly. "Yes, yes. Learning is fun."
'Instead of saying that "dildo" is not good to say, override the word with a similar sounding one. She is a child, so she will forget eventually as long as it doesn't come again. Moreover, if someone slips, Kaleina correcting them and saying something cute like "Not dildo, dilute!" would be very probable.'
"Cough, sorry for that, Yasenia. You are just so tempting that I forgot myself."
Yasenia rolled her eyes and smiled. "Come here and don't repeat those things. Kaleina is starting to learn to speak, so try to be mindful, okay, dear?"
Evelyn smiled and dove into her embrace again. "En. I love you."
"What did you want, dear? I doubt you came here just for that."
Evelyn looked up and said shyly. "Um… Can I put on makeup on you?"
Yasenia was surprised and guided Evelyn to the bathroom. "Of course, you can. But why so suddenly?"
Evelyn walked while hugging Yasenia's waist and burying her face in her ample side breast. "I have learned a bit from the harpies and wanted to try it on you. I've never tried makeup before, though. So, I might not be skilled... "
Yasenia placed Kaleina on the wide bathroom vanity and summoned her makeup box.
She had not used it since she ate the Beauty Pill, so it had been decades since then.
'Makeup... It was really been a while since I put on such worldly things.'
Thankfully, her ring could preserve things for much longer than usual. So even if they were decades old and magic-level treasures, Yasenia was not worried that they expired.
Evelyn took the box and thought about what the harpies had told her.
*****************************************************
Yasenia: Well, well, my dear is going to apply makeup to me? So happy~.
Evelyn: Y-You'll probably be disappointed.
Yasenia: How could that be?
Author: Well, let's get done with this early. I summon you!
Yasenia: What's the haste? I wanted to-.
Author: Oh, here they are.
Dante: Hey! Um… What's up with Yasenia's constipated expression?
Author: Don't care about her.
Yasenia: Hmph, whatever.
Dante: So, girls, what would you girls have done if Yassy had forgotten her love for all of you when she returned from the trial?
*Collective stare*
Dante: W-What's wrong?
Andrea: Not to be rude, Dante. But isn't it quite obvious?
Dante: I-Is it?
Evelyn: I mean, us abandoning her because she forgot her love for us is impossible. We would naturally chase after her with all of our hearts.
Tatyana: Dare to forget me? I would push her down and make her remember. After a good pounding, she probably would snap out of whatever happened. If not? Not a problem. This time I'll make her soul get addicted to me so that even if she forgets me again, her body and soul would remember.
Author: That's dangerously close to a certain line.
Tatyana: What line haven't I crossed?
Author: …
Angel: I would stick to her until she pampers me again! Try to speak to her about our past, about our promises. I would never give up if it is for Yasenia, no matter how much I hurt. A-Also, I would try to steal another kiss. After all, this is how we started our relationship, hehe.
Cecile: Are you forgetting my connection? Even if the connection disappears, she is my only mate in between Heaven and Earth. I would go to any extent to make her remember me again.
Evelyn: I would naturally flirt with her as I did in the past! I can catch her one time, I will be able to catch her a second time. I would slowly melt her heart with whatever I can, jokes, presents, actions, and love words. Whatever it takes to regain my little and comfy place in her heart. Also, I would try to suck her ti-
*BANG!*
Andrea: I would naturally approach and talk to her about other matters like forging. Then, slowly, I would seduce her. After all, my little dragoness is the one who cured all my insecurities. I want to be beside such a person forever.
Kali: I would stay beside her whether she loves me or not. She is my most important person. Even if I stay by her side as a friend forever, I'm willing. She is my light, my only Sun in this Universe with countless stars.
Dante: That was very beautiful.
Author: It really was. Either way, this is all for today. Bye-bye!
