After Yasenia's show of skills, the other girls, who thought that they were advancing rapidly, felt urgency like no other.
Even while Yasenia was dealing with many things, and although they knew that Yasenia never stopped working on herself, her speed of improvement was exaggerated.
Evelyn was in the lightning storm area, together with Sierra. "What do you think, Sierra?"
Sierra was receiving lightning bolts as she answered. "Lady Yasenia is an exception, Evelyn. Your own speed is considered higher than hers since she is approaching fifty when you are still in your twenties."
Evelyn sighed. "But most of my cultivation energy comes from her Yang energy, Sierra. If it were not for her, I would still be in the Mental Nourishing Realm."
Sierra opened her eyes, revealing her icy eyes. She rested her enormous head beside Evelyn, looking at her with one of her eyes. "So?"
Evelyn looked at the giant wolf's head and snorted. "Doesn't this make my cultivation less genuine?"
Sierra lifted an eyebrow. "Then, what am I? A fake thing? I was a common lightning wolf who was lucky enough to find a Thunder Soul. I fed from it, developed my bloodline, and became what I was when you met me. Then, with your help, my bloodline has increased by two entire realms, and it is about to enter the Divine Beast Bloodline Realm. That's three realms higher than my original high-level Mystical Bloodline."
Evelyn muttered. "Mystical, Legendary, Mythical, and then Divine, right?"
Sierra's lips arched. "Correct. So… Am I leeching of you? Is my whole existence a joke because you have supported me until now?"
Evelyn giggled. "I get your point, Sierra. Who knew you were that wise?"
Sierra smiled. "I might be a wild beast, but I'm a few hundred years old. Moreover, you've taught me quite well."
Evelyn leaned on the thick white fur of Sierra, smelling her soft and clean fragrance. "You smell similar to Cecile."
Sierra snorted a laugh. "Don't compare me with her. It's insulting to Cecile. She is a respected Ancient Beast, while I'm just a peak-level Mythical Beast. If we were not from the same pack, I would need to lower my head in her presence."
Evelyn sighed. "You are right. Well, since we were lucky, we must do the most out of it, right?"
Sierra smiled in appreciation. "That's right. You have a very nice inheritance in your hands, one that came directly from a God. From what Mirrory told us, it's also quite a strong one."
Evelyn summoned a white jade scroll with lightning crackling around it and imagery of clouds and thunder looming over mountains and rivers.
It was complex, beautiful, and intricate, while it hid a profound reality within itself.
Sierra looked at it and asked. "How is the comprehension of it?"
Evelyn shook her head. "Besides the first three skills, I can't decipher anything else. It sounds like gibberish, to be honest."
Sierra blinked. "Isn't learning three skills really good?"
Evelyn shrugged. "I think they are the basic ones. After all, they are an offensive, an enhancing, and a defensive skill."
Sierra nodded. The blue-haired girl asked back. "So, how about your skills? Beasts learn very differently, right? Also, how are you keeping up in cultivation speed?"
Sierra commented. "Well, I use all the money Yasenia gives me to buy beast cores and other things. Moreover, your [Beast Pocket] skill helps me keep up with you."
Evelyn blinked. "Does it? Well, Tatyana gave it to us, so it can't be simple."
Sierra laughed. "I asked. She told me quite nonchalantly. 'Well, that is the secret technique of the strongest beast-taming sect I've ever come across, so it should be good.' Hahaha."
Evelyn burst into laughter. "Very Tatyana-like. Where did she find it?"
Sierra shrugged. "I didn't ask further. I'm happy she would answer my question."
Evelyn lifted her eyebrow. "You really respect her, eh."
Sierra smiled. "Of course. To be able to give birth to Lady Yasenia, Lady Tatyana is someone I look up to as a role model!"
Evelyn snorted with a teasing tone. "I will pray to the heavens so that your future pups don't go through too much hardship."
Sierra rolled her eyes. Evelyn moved away from Sierra and sat cross-legged as she asked. "By the way, have you decided whose children you want?"
Sierra shook her head. "There are good males around in these mountains, but… I find them mediocre at best."
Evelyn sighed. "Yasenia has broken your mate-standards."
Sierra smiled. "I do admit it."
Evelyn tilted her head. "Well, you are not old anymore. After entering the fourth realm, your lifespan is in the thousands."
Sierra nodded. "That's the main reason as to why my standards rose, to be honest. I have no haste. And knowing how far you will reach, I'm barely at the start of my life right now."
Evelyn smiled. "That's true. Well, let's continue with the breakthrough. I'm almost there, and all the other girls have already broken through the seventh level."
Sierra laughed. "Even Andrea was able to reach it. You became too busy with tailoring and the [Heavenly Thunder God Inheritance] scroll."
Evelyn ignored her and made her body conductive to attract the lightning bolts flying around in the clouds above.
RUMBLE!
BANG!
A massive lightning bolt struck Evelyn, but she didn't even flinch. From that moment on, the surroundings were instantly flooded with sound.
BANG! BANG! BANG! RUMBLE!!
Evelyn strangely felt calm as her body was assaulted by lightning bolt rain. Her body would destroy the lightning, absorb the light and lightning elements inside, and nourish her body.
With the help of the [Heavenly Thunder God Inheritance], her body was enhanced and tempered with powerful lightning, while the meridians pushed energy around exceptionally quickly.
Instead of using the energy to nourish, she struck her meridians and other body parts energy, using the energy released with the impacts to enhance her strength.
After twelve hours, Evelyn felt her body unable to get stronger. 'Perfect. Now, the soul.'
With her body at its peak, her focus changed to the soul.
The electric currents fused with light, and she attacked her soul. Evelyn bit her teeth as pain spread through her body.
Although our girl was a hopeless masochist with Yasenia, this pain was not pleasant at all. However, the [Heavenly Thunder God Inheritance] was about purifying your body with lightning.
Since Evelyn also had proficiency with the Light attribute, she added light energy to it. Of course, she had discussed it with Mirrory to see if it would become harmful, and the ancient Mirror had told her that it was a good idea.
So, Evelyn was ruthless with her body.
Another thirty hours went by, cultivating without stop.
BANG!
A massive lightning bolt with the thickness of a small elephant hit her, making even her extremely lightning-resistant body shudder. 'That freaking hurt!'
The accumulated energy went through her veins, meridians, and into her dantian. Then, Evelyn felt it. 'Oh? Here it is.'
Her energy accumulated, and finally, after much effort, she broke through.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Tens of lightning bolts struck her surroundings, creating small craters as electricity swirled around her like a storm.
The color of the lightning was black and white, representing her evolved lightning and [Storm Roaring Thunder].
After a few years of discovering it, Evelyn finally gained the initial understanding of how to fuse her lightning and light elements, creating [Luminous Lightning].
Her violet eyes opened, electricity flashing through them, and her face looked indifferent and majestic.
Sierra looked at her and was impressed. 'If she were serious like this all the time, she would be quite an imposing woman.'
Evelyn stood up, her long robe fluttering as the white and black lightning coursed around her body. "Very nice. The increase in strength is impressive."
Sierra smiled and praised. "You look very badass, hahaha."
Evelyn laughed as she waved her arm, dispersing all electricity around her in light particles. "Really? I might use it later to seduce Yasenia and let her plow my holes as if she wants to dig something out!"
Sierra sighed in defeat. "Remember to shut your mouth during that time and make yourself expressionless."
Evelyn felt stumped. "But my flirting skills are the best!"
The giant wolf queen was the one stunned this time. "I've always wondered, but where does that confidence come from?"
Evelyn tilted her head. "If I could wife up someone like Yasenia, doesn't that make them quite impressive?"
Sierra couldn't counter argue even if she wanted to. What could she say, that Yasenia was an easy woman? That was clearly not the case if her lovers weren't involved.
During these three years, she had seen plenty of clan members professing their love skillfully and being demoted right the next day.
The cold-heartedness of the dragoness toward "outsiders" was very comforting in one way, as Sierra understood that Evelyn was in good hands. However, she didn't understand how Evelyn managed to get into the dragoness's good books.
Evelyn smiled widely. "Let's go, Sierra. It's time to share all of our progress with the girls!"
Sierra blinked. "Right, when you broke through, it would be the time when all of you shared all your skills as Yasenia did. Do you want to ride there?"
Evelyn jumped fifteen meters into the air, landing on the forty-meter-long and fifteen-meter-tall white wolf's head. "You've grown quite a bit, eh."
Sierra smiled. "I doubled in height and length, hahaha." Then she commented. "Although, little Ebirah, Cecile, and even Kali's beast forms had grown a lot."
Evelyn nodded. "No doubt about it, hahaha. Cecile's Phoenix form has almost two hundred meters in wingspan. You can stand on her back and look small. Not to mention, besides Kali, you look like a pup."
Sierra chuckled. "They are quite large. Ebirah, at least, follows my size standards."
Evelyn agreed. "I wonder what kind of size they will have when they enter the Dantian Spiritualization Realm. They will be like small mountains. When you enter the Divine Beast Bloodline Realm, you might also grow a lot in size."
Sierra shrugged. "It doesn't matter too much. Strength is what is important, not size."
Evelyn laughed. "Size doesn't matter!"
Sierra rolled her eyes one more time.
Then, not entertaining the innuendo, the perfectly developed muscles of the giant wolf moved as the four powerful legs pushed her body forward.
BOOM!
Sierra became a white blur as she ran through the mountains and forest with agility nothing her size should have.
"AWOO!!!"
Her majestic howl spread through the mountain basin, warning the others that Evelyn had already broken through.
A while later, all of them joined in the house they built for themselves. It had an eastern style, using one floor and a lot of terrain to build it. Walking normally, you would need about twenty minutes at a mortal speed to walk from one side to the other.
There was an intricate garden being taken care of by the mortal female maids. About one hundred of them worked here in total.
Food was not a problem, and each girl had a part of the extensive residence for them.
There was a main building where Yasenia and the others spent their time together. In this center building, there was also a huge bedroom with massive comfortable beds and a few rooms at the side used for spicy activities.
When Evelyn arrived at the main living room, Yasenia was lying on a couch, propped up by her arm, and reading a book to the not-so-small eastern dragon between her arms.
There was an open wall at the side so that Sierra could lie there and be with the rest of the family.
The two dragons looked up and locked onto Evelyn. Yasenia smiled softly. "Congratulations, dear."
Kaleina parroted. "Congratulations! Mama Evelyn!"
Evelyn couldn't help but chuckle when two similar pairs of golden reptilian eyes landed on her. 'They are so cute!'
*********************************************
Tatyana: Well, well, the following two chapters will be quite interesting, eh?
Author: I'll try. I will really try not to make them insufferable, but as a dear said in the comments, it's about time since we have an update on our girls' skills. There have been at least 300 chapters without a clear explanation!
Tatyana: Can't you use the glossary?
Author: … I'm aiming high if ten percent of my dears even use the glossary. Not to mention, it's also not up to date!
Tatyana: Oh…
Author: Either way, I summon you!
WPOmega: Hello! How are you girls doing~.
Angel: Hehehe, you are acting as if you are returning home after a long day of work.
WPOmega: Hahaha.
Andrea: Well, WPOmega, who do you want to ask?
WPOmega: Sarah, the transmigrator!
Author: Okay, wait a second… There.
*Puff*
Sarah: Hm? Where am I!? System?
System: [Host. I'm helpless. I don't know what has happened].
Author: Yo!
Sarah: Woah! What are you!? An eldritch horror without shape!?
Author: …
Angel: Hahaha.
Tatyana: I mean, it's your fault for being a humanoid-shaped mass of… cosmos?
Author: Whatever. Sarah, listen to that person, answer his question, then you can leave.
Sarah: O-Okay.
System: [Host. Are you sure? I can't sense anything from it.]
Yasenia: What's that thing speaking?
Sarah: E-Eh!? Y-Yasenia, what are you doing here?
Yasenia: Oh… Well, hello.
Author: Answer him. Chatting can be done after.
Sarah: Y-Yes!
WPOmega: Sarah, hey umm, this is rather awkward now that you have your own harem, but I was really rooting for you to join Yasenia's and be maybe the last of her wives. I mean, your chances aren't gone, just infinitely closer to impossible...but well, yeah, systems tend to affect the minds of their hosts subconsciously, so things will be hard. My question, well, the most important one for me anyway, is, do you plan to be true allies with Yasenia?
Sarah: Huh? Why wouldn't I?
WPOmega: Well, she was quite the asshole with you.
Yasenia: Cough.
Sarah: Well… You are right. But, meh, I don't want to antagonize a person with such a high-level reward for conquering. Who knows, maybe she is the endgame heroine that I met early. After all, her reward levels are similar to those of conquering something similar to a goddess.
WPOmega: … I see.
Sarah: So, um… Can I go now?
Author: Wanna stay and chat?
System: [Host. You should leave.]
Yasenia: Oy, what are you? Host this, host that. Are you the thing inside Sarah?
Author: Well, while the dears from this dimension discover the wonders of systems, I say goodbye~. Bye-bye~.
