Tatyana asked curiously. "Do you have children?"
Tengliu thought for a moment and finally decided to answer. "I've told you before that I tried, right?"
Tatyana nodded.
Tengliu shook her head. "Didn't I tell you how aloof I was before? Now I'm a high-level senior, and it is difficult to find a proper father that won't tie me politically and has good genes."
Tatyana nodded. "I heard the Garuda race is quite close to the harpies, right? Was the partner you tried this with a Garuda?"
Tengliu rolled her eyes as she bid for another item that piqued her interest. "It was. After all, I thought that he should be the best male around. Garudas are basically male harpies. I don't like their bird heads, but their bodies are good enough to ignore it."
Tatyana further asked. "So… What happened?"
Tengliu bid. "Five hundred Parus." Then, she answered. "When I went to him, his clan was of a higher rank than me. Unlike the suppression harpies received all around because people saw them as… well, being blunt, sex relief, Garudas aren't seen like that. There are female races that are perverted, but as you should know, the Yang energy that naturally resides in males makes a male hornier than a female who was Yin energy."
They all nodded.
"Because of this, their position was fifteenth, the same as today, while ours was lower than twentieth."
"The deal we had back then was that I would have children until a Garuda was born. It is known that the chances for a harpy giving birth to a harpy are usually seventy percent while thirty percent is for the father's race."
Tengliu snorted angrily. "But that soft dick bastard's sperm was so weak that my constitution basically devoured his seed without giving it a chance to germinate."
Yasenia almost laughed aloud. "Why was that?"
Tengliu sighed. "Because he was fucking all day. Even while doing the contract with me, a female was between his legs! Can you believe it? I mean, I'm a pervert, but I have a semblance of courtesy."
Tengliu's face scrunched. "If that wasn't bad already when I told him to stop fucking for a year to accumulate Yang energy powerful enough to impregnate me, the bastard told me that it wasn't his problem!"
Tengliu got a bit heated. "I mean, you are fucking all day with clear Yang deficiency because of it, and the problem is now me? I put up with his crap because he was honestly my best choice if I wanted progeny. However, I broke the contract after seeing that he didn't change his ways."
She added. "Not to mention, having sex with him was so boring. He just moves his waist as if he is trying to dig a hole with his dick. What kind of pleasure can I receive from that? Move your waist a bit, use your hands or something, use different speeds, maybe? I mean, do something else besides move back and forth!"
Yasenia was incredulous. "That's really inconsiderate."
Tengliu nodded and asked. "How do you have sex with your lovers, Yasenia?"
Yasenia was about to answer, carried by the conversation, but she stopped. "That's none of your business."
Cecile commented. "You would probably lose your mind if she had intercourse with you, Tengliu."
Tengliu frowned. "Little girl, I'm mentally much stronger than Yasenia or you. Even if the pleasure is strong, I can take it."
Cecile nodded. "I know. What I mean is that you would become a lovebird instead of a harpy. Your mind would be lost in love because of how Yasenia treats you during the act."
Tengliu lifted an eyebrow in a challenging manner. "I don't believe it. Do you dare to allow Yasenia to have sex with me to prove these claims?"
Yasenia patted Cecile's butt. "Stop teasing her."
Cecile smiled. "Sorry, Tengliu. You'll have to take my word for it."
Tatyana commented. "The Patriarch of that race is too arrogant. They are just in the fifteenth position inside the Thirty-three clans and have stopped at that position."
Tengliu sighed and nodded.
Tatyana imagined herself in that situation and smiled. "Did you cut his dick off before leaving him or at least do something?"
Yasenia felt her member shrank in pure reflex when she heard her words.
Tengliu didn't find the question strange. "I didn't. I told him that all the marriage arrangements were canceled and left. Since then, he has resented me."
Tatyana lifted an eyebrow. "But all the harpies I know are quite okay with having a Garuda as a partner. Aren't you fearful that someone between your ranks will betray you if they use expert and mind-controlling dual cultivation techniques?"
Tengliu smiled coldly. "It already happened. Though, I've already got rid of those harpies publicly. Not only that, over fifty years ago, I razed the Garuda's main place and killed one hundred times the harpies they forced me to publicly."
Tengliu sneered. "Between those tens of thousands of Garudas, I made sure to target his favorite people, sons, daughters, and lovers."
Tengliu sighed. "It's a shame that the [Jade Thunderbird Clan] interrupted my massacre and told me to stop. Well, I got my revenge, so that's that. Since then, they have not had the guts to touch us in a wrong way."
Yasenia and Cecile listened intently, finding Tengliu quite a badass. 'Going directly to their base and killing thousands right under their nose is like slapping them in the face and then throwing their face into the mud.'
Tatyana nodded. "I respect that. But why did you kill only a hundredfold? You should've razed their entire race."
Tengliu clicked her tongue. "As I said, the [Jade Thunderbird Clan] came. Although, them alone would've not scared me to stop. The other clans also came to stop me. However, I told them that if they dare mess with my girls like that again, I will fight until I die together with them."
Tengliu sneered. "Since then, although our rank fluctuates between tenth, ninth, and eighth, even the top three clans don't dare provoke me harshly."
"The Garuda clan was also given an ultimatum because I almost managed to burst the head of one of their top seniors in a one versus six. They told him that the next time, they wouldn't come to stop me."
Cecile and Yasenia felt their respect for this woman soar. 'Okay, I can hate her for what she did to us, but she is really powerful.
Tatyana's eyes also changed. "Tengliu, I thought you were just a debauched woman, but it looks like I misunderstood you."
Tengliu coughed. "Oy, I know what I did wrong, okay? You can stop rubbing it in my face each time. I'm trying to make amends!"
Tatyana laughed. "This is the last time I say it."
Tengliu sighed and nodded.
Tatyana spoke. "I understand your reaction was probably your nature as a harpy at play. Even if it is not excusable, I respect you. You are a good leader, so I decided not to punish you as harshly."
Tengliu grumbled. "You are taking me as quite a weak person to think you can punish me at will, aren't you?"
Yasenia laughed. "Aunty Tengliu, you'll understand in the future. However, since Mom has said that, you should not worry."
Tengliu sighed with a smile. "If you say so, I'll put my heart at rest. But! Only if you let me smooch your face a bit more."
Yasenia rolled her eyes and pushed her face toward her.
After a while, all low-level items were auctioned.
Of the 350 low-level Heaven-ranked treasures, Yasenia got four, and Tengliu got fifteen.
Of those fifteen, nine were Yasenia's.
She wanted to take more, but other powers were also quite excited about the Astral Sky Clan's items because of Tengliu's and the Nine Sect's eagerness to buy them.
The competitiveness was something Yasenia welcomed. After all, she was the ultimate winner, making around thirty thousand flawless Parus for her twenty-one low-level Heaven-ranked items.
Adding the two auctioned on the first day and the one on the second day, there were twenty-four low-level, seven mid-level, three top-level, and one peak-level treasure—a total of thirty-five treasures.
Finally, the mid-level treasures began appearing. As done in the previous parts, Yasenia's item opened the auction. The reason was because they were the most aesthetically pleasing besides having the most exciting effects.
Distancia's forging could create very sturdy items, but adding special skills was very complicated.
Lost Town's method was the opposite, focusing more on skills than strength.
Sky Continent's blacksmithing was about giving the weapon a set of veins that acted as strengthening and also skill creation, making it more balanced.
The woman smiled and presented the gorgeous armor a fake humanoid creature wore. "The first mid-level Heaven-ranked item will be this gorgeous blue armor! This armor is especially suited for winged races. As you can see, a pair of metallic wings sprout on the armor's back, and these can move and cover your wings."
The people began discussing it, giving it praise all around.
"However, it also works on normal races as the wings have an in-built ability to fly. Its name is [Deep Sea Demon Armor]. It was made by the reliable Astral Sky Clan, showing their expertise and quality once more! The initial prize is 25,000 flawless Parus with a minimum increment of 2,500! Begin!"
Tengliu sighed. "What a shame that I can't wear armor. It looks gorgeous."
Yasenia smiled and disclosed something they were working on. "My blacksmiths, tailors, and alchemist are researching a way to allow all of you to wear items. We won't force it, but adding extra protection and attack power with armor, battle robes, or any clothes will greatly help your race, right?"
Tengliu's violet eyes shone. "Are you really doing that?"
Yasenia nodded and then felt a pair of winged arms going around her neck.
Cecile blinked and looked back at Yasenia only to see Tengliu basically eating Yasenia's cheeks with kisses and Yasenia's stupid face, not knowing what was going on.
With a sigh of resignation, she ignored it and continued looking at the auction. 'Whatever, at least she is clearly holding back and avoiding the lips.'
Yasenia asked Ghana. "What's going on, why is she so excited?"
Ghana laughed. "We've tried researching something useful for millennia, but we have never been successful. The things we created were loose clothes that barely covered what our feathers naturally do. Moreover, they didn't enhance anything, as they just didn't bother us, look."
Ghana summoned a strange cloth that floated around her. The brown-feathered harpy moved around, and the clothes followed her movements. "It's not bothersome, but it does almost nothing."
Ghana stored it again, returning to her naked state. "Therefore, If you manage to do it, Matriarch Tengliu's legacy will be eternal as long as harpies wear clothes."
Yasenia sighed as the supposedly senior harpy slobbered her face with loving kisses. "Yasenia, I love you to death!"
The dragoness rolled her eyes, but they had a hint of a smile.
Meanwhile, the price for the armor had increased to sixty thousand.
In the end, it was sold for 77,500 Flawless Parus.
After all, the in-built flying ability was too attractive for a few juniors, so their spoiled butts bid for it like crazy.
The seniors found the armor worth it besides being cool, so they did not stop them.
Yasenia heard that the one who bought it was from the Fu clan. 'Hm? Someone from the main branch, perhaps?'
However, it didn't matter to her.
Fu Yu was dead, and the City Lord was not a problem anymore, as she had ranked up on the social ladder after meeting Tengliu, Luscia, and Coraline.
Moreover, only a stupid person would provoke her right after getting the favor of Tengliu.
The auction continued, and after relaxing her excitement, Tengliu bid for a few items and won four of the nearly seventy mid-level treasures.
Between them, the [Soul Enhancing Pills] Yasenia sold were all bought by Tengliu.
There were three jars with ten pills each. The price they reached was extremely high. After all, soul-enhancing medicine was as rare as they could get.
After selling her seven mid-level Heaven-ranked items, Yasenia's pocket received 1.2 million Flawless Parus. The two-pill jars of [Soul Enhancing Pills] were valued at 300,000 and 400,000 respectively.
Yasenia blinked at the price. 'Even my high estimates have fallen short… I really need to reevaluate many things.'
Her gaze moved toward the white-feathered harpy, who was curiously looking at the floating pill with her enchanting violet eyes, and she smiled. 'Thankfully, I have someone I can now rely on for these things.'
***********************************************
Tatyana: Always learning~.
Yasenia: Yep. When you think you finally know everything, you realize how many things you still lack.
Author: Let's get to the summoning.
Kali: Um…
Author: Yes, Kali?
Kali: Can I do it today?
Author: Of course you can!
Kali: Thank you.
*Tails wave with the energy as a gentle energy spreads.*
Kali: I summon you.
Randomplant: Alo~.
Author: Hello!
Angel: Weren't we going to see WPOmega for a few days?
Author: Maybe the fact that there were very few questions left motivated my other dears to ask.
Angel: I see.
Randomplant: Well, this is my question. You know that there is a chance that your future children will fall in love with Yasenia or have too high expectations of a partner (not only in appearance but also in personality). And the question is, have you formulated any countermeasure or plan to avoid or mitigate that?
Author: This question is good if all of you answer it.
Randomplant: Hm. Okay.
Author: Let's start with… Little Angel!
Angel: Eh- Me? Um. I-I'll teach them that Yasenia is their mommy!
Tatyana: But I'm also Yasenia's mommy?
Angel: But, um, eh… I don't know…
Andrea: Don't worry, little Angel. The first person to reject them is probably Yasenia.
Yasenia: Of course. Although I love my children to bits, and I don't mind my little ones loving me back, I will never do anything to them.
Evelyn: What do you think is the best way to stop this?
Yasenia: Well, brushing it off with familiar love. If they say that they love me, I would say that they are the loveliest child in the world, for example.
Cecile: That might work.
Kali: It's a good idea.
Andrea: Well, we will also try to teach that Yasenia is unavailable, hahaha.
Randomplant: Interesting. I'm quite eager to read those parts.
Author: I'm also quite eager to write them!
Author: Either way, this is all for today. Thank you for reading, little lurkers~.
