The next twelve products were not interesting for Yasenia, so she didn't bid.
Tengliu found one of them useful and bought it for almost the initial price. It was a peak-level Earth-ranked flying sword.
A few tentative voices tried to bid against Tengliu, but she bid quickly back, not letting the auctioneer even say their bids.
This intimidated them into giving up, which warned another round of adoring eyes from Yasenia. Something that delighted the millennial harpy as she rubbed her cheek with her again. 'Oh my gosh! Little Yasenia is so cute~.'
Yasenia was curious and asked. "What do you need that for, Aunty Tengliu?"
Tengliu answered with a smile while hugging Yasenia a bit tighter. "Well, someone back at home has recently broken through into the Ethereal Soul Body Realm. I was searching for something to gift her, and this sword is nice."
Tengliu received it from Carbira and nodded. "The craftsmanship is good."
Yasenia nodded. "It's not bad."
"Only not bad?"
Yasenia chuckled. "I honestly can't evaluate it higher than "not bad." Andrea back at home can make you a sword like this one in less than a week while working on other projects."
Tengliu blinked and looked at the sword again. 'Hm… This little girl hides many secrets. Maybe Ghana wasn't exaggerating when she said that little Yasenia's production methods were first ranked even among top powers.' She shook her head and stored it in her spatial ring. 'I'll tour Yasenia's Astral Sky Shop later. I dismissed her claims because I thought she was trying to make amends between me and little Yasenia, but I might have jumped to conclusions.'
The auction continued, and they all could see her white feathers ruffle with joy each time Yasenia praised her, or they laughed together.
As the hours went by, Yasenia and Tengliu slowly became closer.
Both parties had good instincts and could feel the other person softening, creating a good cycle of gently and gradually increasing goodwill.
After thirty-four treasures, the auctioneer said. "Now, we have this [Spring Tree Sap Cauldron]. It is the last peak-ranked earth-ranked cauldron with the initial price of two hundred high-level Parus!"
Yasenia knew that these kinds of profession-related equipment were helpful for her clan members, so she bid anonymously. She didn't want to abuse Tengliu's name.
Tengliu was confused. "Child, why did you not use my name?"
Yasenia looked up at Tengliu and said seriously. "I want your name to be impactful, so using it too much will lose the feeling of awe it gives to others. I'd rather reserve it for the more important items later on."
Tengliu smiled and rubbed her face with Yasenia again. "You are so cute~. Do you think that overusing it can make something like that? Hahaha, you shouldn't worry that much and abuse your Aunty's name!"
Yasenia laughed, and her tail gently wagged.
It had been a while since she felt this feeling of care from an elder coming from others besides Tatyana, so she indulged a bit.
Tatyana asked curiously. "By the way, Tengliu. How much money have you prepared for this event?"
Tengliu didn't separate from Yasenia as she answered. The position has even changed into Tengliu lying in a reclined position and hugging Yasenia on top of her while her leg pushed them closer.
It felt as if Tengliu was nestling a child between her wings.
"I don't have that much money at hand, to be honest. I have only over six million flawless Parus in my card."
Carbira choked on her saliva and began coughing.
Yasenia's eyes widened, and she understood how far she was from genuinely wealthy people on this Continent without using her Purple Crystals.
Remember that she had hundreds of thousands of purple crystals with the value of a few billion Flawless Parus. She had gained them from Long Baidi's ring.
Yasenia saw her bid overcome again and increased the offer directly to two flawless Parus. "Two flawless Parus coming from the VIP room number nine!"
"Oh? VIP number twenty-four bids two and a half!"
Yasenia didn't overreact and placed another bid.
Thinking about Tengliu's wealth, she didn't overreact. If someone like Tengliu couldn't amass that much money, maintaining the enormous clan that spread throughout the continent would be impossible.
Tatyana commented. "Then, prepare for the last items. I've read someone's mind that it is quite important."
Tengliu nodded seriously.
She took this red-eyed human as an equal.
Even if their strengths were worlds apart, she understood that this fact might not remain the same for much time.
Moreover, her formation building was something she had never seen before. 'Who knew a formation could restrain my strength so much that a junior like my cute and adorable little Yasenia could pin me down?'
Leaving aside the new way of calling our dragoness in her mind, that and their confrontation of souls back then was the main reason for her respect toward Tatyana.
Their "secret" conversation between seniors also made her realize how far Tatyana had seen and how dangerous it would be to have her as an enemy.
Human or not, Tengliu admitted that Tatyana was powerful.
"Five flawless Parus coming from the Nine Herb Fragrance Sect!"
Yasenia blinked and sighed. "Well, it looks like I won't get it this time."
Tengliu and Tatyana frowned and thought the same. 'Tsk, those stupid people, can't they understand that Yasenia is bidding!?'
Yasenia saw Tengliu about to bid and kissed her cheek. "Let it be, Aunty Tengliu."
Tengliu smiled like a flower and rubbed her face with Yasenia's. "Sure."
Tatyana stood up and sat on Yasenia's other side.
After a look at each other, the two seniors moved Yasenia around until she was squished between them in a super comfortable position.
Yasenia blinked twice and felt Tengliu's comfortable feathers while Tatyana massaged her in the places she liked the most.
Her muscles softened as her tail lazily wagged in comfort.
Cecile looked from the side with a smile in her eyes. 'Whatever, as long as she is happy.'
Ghana also felt relief as she watched them. 'It seems that Lady Tengliu has completely accepted them. Thank the heavens I won't need to see worst case scenario.'
Now that she was relaxed, Ghana laughed a bit to herself. 'Is this the power of Yasenia's cuteness? Hahaha.' She couldn't deny that she also had the itch to caress the current dragoness.
Being so comfortable and with Tatyana's comforting presence, Yasenia only took a few minutes before her guard ultimately lowered, and she began purring.
Ghana, Carbira, and Tengliu suddenly heard Yasenia's deep purring as the vibrations transmitted to the Harpy Matriarch because of their close bodies.
They all felt like having butterflies in their stomachs, making their facial expressions melt and hearts flutter.
Tengliu wanted to bash her head against a wall. 'She purrs when she is comfortable!? Oh. My. Gosh. Her tail is wagging! Why did I almost do something so sinful toward an adorable creature like her!? Ahh, I deserve death!'
And thus, the harpy Matriarch fell deeper into the bottomless abyss of Yasenia's cuteness hidden behind her alluring exterior.
Ghana and Carbira were also hit by a stray arrow while looking at everything.
Yasenia continued the bids without using Tengliu's name and gained eleven pieces of equipment for twelve and a half flawless Parus.
The auctioneer smiled. "And, with this, we've auctioned all the Earth-ranked treasures. Congratulations to all of you who bid successfully. We also encourage those who didn't to think that the money you could use will help you with future expenses."
Tatyana rolled her eyes while softly scratching Yasenia's chin. "What would a few tens of Parus do when buying Heaven-ranked items."
Tengliu kissed Yasenia's cheek and laughed. "Well, it is a good way to motivate those who didn't buy anything."
Tatyana didn't deny that.
Tengliu asked. "By the way, little Yasenia, how much money do you have left?"
Yasenia commented. "Not much, about six thousand flawless Parus."
Tengliu blinked. "Are those the net profits from the Astral Sky Shop from this last month?"
Yasenia nodded. "Yes."
Tengliu praised her sincerely. "That's a huge number. You are still developing, and your expenses are at an all-time high, so having six thousand flawless Parus profit in the first month is impressive."
Yasenia smiled softly. "Thank you for the praise, Aunty Tengliu."
Tengliu smiled and rubbed her cheeks with Yasenia. "So cute!
Yasenia chuckled and leaned on Tatyana because it was more comfortable for her. Tatyana's scent was delightful for our dragoness, after all. Not that it mattered since both women were close enough to kiss her face at any time.
"We decided to make a small shout-out to our top treasure contributor and our top contributor with the most heaven-ranked treasures."
Yasenia's ears perked up.
"The top treasure contributor is the [Jade Thunderbird Clan], the top clan of the Thirty-Three Clans. Moreover, it is a cultivation technique! Prepare your pockets if you want to get it!"
Yasenia heard the howls of a few beasts cheering on them.
"Then, the clan with the most Heaven-ranked treasures contributed to the auction is the uprising Astral Sky Clan! With a generous amount of thirty-five Heaven Grade Treasures in total!"
The Auction house became silent as everyone's jaws almost fell.
Tengliu's eyes widened widely, and she looked at Yasenia with a stupefied expression. "Wait, wait, wait. Thirty-five items!? Why are you selling so many, child? Are you in need of money? Silly girl, let's retrieve them, and I can lend you as much as you need. Heaven-grade treasures are the foundation of a powerful clan! Selling thirty at one is like cutting your own finger for a bandage! No, since your power is still so new, the cost is like cutting off an arm!"
Yasenia saw that Tengliu was honestly about to drag her to retrieve the items and pulled her down while laughing. She couldn't help but feel a touch of warmth in her heart. "Don't worry, Aunty Tengliu. Don't you remember that Mom is by my side? She wouldn't let me do something that would hurt me too much. Moreover, I've thought about it and planned many things, so I really need this capital."
Tengliu frowned. "I'm going back with your mother later to inspect those plans. You are still a feeble power, and you must be careful! Selling thirty items will attract a lot of attention."
Yasenia turned her head to look at Tatyana, asking her with her eyes whether to allow her to see the plans or not.
Tatyana shrugged. "She is sincere, so I'll let you make the last decision."
Yasenia looked at Cecile and blinked. Cecile blinked back. The others saw a silent communication happen between them for a few seconds.
Tengliu was stunned. "How deep is their link?"
Tatyana answered. "They can feel each other souls as if they were their own."
Tengliu's mouth opened. "How did Cecile manage to control herself and avoid attacking me? I remember her aura bursting but finally not attacking me…"
Tatyana rolled her eyes. "How do you think? Yasenia was constantly coaxing her while you made your seduction technique."
Tengliu felt deep admiration for Yasenia.
She naturally knew how strong her seduction technique was. To be able to coax her soulmate while resisting the deep bone attraction was proof of Yasenia's will strength.
Yasenia looked at Tengliu and sighed. "Sorry, Aunty Tengliu. We still want to test your sincerity a bit deeper."
The white harpy with violet eyes didn't mind. If she were her, do not speak about talking. She would've killed the offender right away.
Tengliu deeply understood that her fate wasn't as such because of the precarious position Yasenia was in.
If Yasenia was strong enough and not tied to make amends with her power, Tengliu believed her life would've ended in that room.
'Well, even if our relationship started bumpy. I'll make sure little Yasenia eventually trusts me!'

The girls: …
NikkiAD: Hello!
Kali: A new person. Hello.
NikkiAD: Hello, Kali!
Angel: What's your question?
NikkiAD: Oh dear, you are so lovable.
Andrea: So excited, hahaha?
NikkiAD: Of course! Well, here goes my question for the seniors. Can a reincarnated person remember their past life/lives without the World interfering as it happens with transmigrators? Is there a spell/ritual to make them remember?
Tatyana: To my knowledge. Unless the reincarnation was forceful or created by some heavenly treasure, it should be impossible to maintain the memories.
Mirrory: Yes. Also, treasures to make remember the past lives are extremely hard to create. Remember that souls are whitewashed when they enter the reincarnation cycle. Hence, making them remember is not really possible unless you peer into their Fate and see their past beyond the life of that cultivator.
Mirrory: Doing this is not only difficult and troublesome, but the cultivator doing this can also receive a backlash strong enough to cripple them, even if they are gods or immortals.
NikkiAD: Wow.
Valeria: So, to answer your question. They "can." But being able to do so practically is extremely rare, difficult, and it only happens with exceptions within exceptions.
NikkiAD: I see. Thanks for answering, seniors.
Mirrory: Um.
Tatyana: No worries.
Valeria: You are welcome. It is our duty as seniors, dear.
Author: Well, and with this, today's Celestial Theater ends!
Yasenia: Where is Tengliu, by the way?
Author: Visiting a solar system in that direction.
