Sarah arrived at the top and took a deep breath. 'That was intense. I thought Yasenia would win against me. Was she impressed at my ability to withstand the pressure?'
Sarah smirked, imagining Yasenia looking up at her. Her honey-colored eyes looked around the top and found nothing for a few seconds.
Soon, she spotted another woman who made her heart pound for many reasons.
The relatively tall woman was wearing an elegant black dress that flowed with the wind together with her very long black hair. Her elegant face was enhanced by absolute beauty and gained further impact because of the pair of uncommon, ruby-like eyes.
There were a few traces of similarity with the gorgeous Yasenia, but if the dragoness was alluring like a lust spirit, the woman before her was ethereal, like a celestial being.
Yet, the aura around this celestial being felt so dreadful even when she was calm that instead of something holy, it gave a ghostly magnetism that might drag the viewer to hell if you stared for too long.
A peerlessly beautiful Death Empress.
The elegant woman turned to look at her, and the corner of the thin but seductive lips arched upward. Sarah could feel her heart beating in her chest from a confused feeling of intertwining fear and attraction.
"I expected my little treasure to arrive first, not you."
The smooth and elegant voice enraptured Sarah, making her nervously swallow. "S-She is close by, so it's not that big of a difference. Yasenia was very hard to beat, haha."
Tatyana smiled, and while Sarah was entranced by her smile, the black-dressed woman disappeared from her view, appearing in front of her face in the next instant.
Sarah's heart jumped again. 'I-I couldn't see her.'
Tatyana looked closely at Sarah; the distance between their faces was so short that Sarah could feel the warm yet chilling breath of the Death Empress.
This distance tempted the woman to move forward and kiss because of Tatyana's beauty, yet it also transmitted the feeling of dying if she dared to do so.
"Of course, she was hard to beat. After all, my lovely girl doesn't use cheats but is incomparably talented. Unlike you, otherworlder."
Sarah's eyes couldn't move away from Tatyana's eyes.
Sarah had frozen the second she made eye contact, even if Tatyana was doing nothing.
While Sarah was naturally dull, Tatyana's eyes felt like an ocean of blood, swirling with ghostly energies that could scare anyone who looked deep enough into them.
Tatyana smirked again. "What's wrong, otherworlder? Do you feel fear? Do you feel like your limbs are freezing? Is it hard to look deeply into the eyes of an experienced cultivator?"
Sarah couldn't respond, but her body was trembling. Tatyana laughed alluringly. "Even if you've stayed for six years in this world, you still haven't realized that you are not the center of this Universe. You look at things, thinking deep in your mind that you are the 'Protagonist' of the world. That with the system in your hands, you are unbeatable, and that things will eventually sort out without much effort from your part."
Sarah couldn't answer, even when Tatyana was using no auras. Just the weight of experience was enough to make her silent and unable to speak up.
Tatyana approached even closer, their faces so close that if Sarah leaned forward, their lips would touch. "Otherworlder. I've warned you in the past not to try to put your hands on my little treasure. At that time, you still didn't know I was her mother. But now, you know. Yet, ignoring my presence, you are still trying to entangle her with your system."
The Death Empress smiled. "I have placed a few formations around them that tell me when you try to make contact with them."
Sarah's legs were trembling, and her body was sweating. However, she couldn't move, not even drop down to her knees because her limbs were frozen stiff out of nervousness.
Tatyana leaned forward, barely missing skin-to-skin contact, and placed her luscious lips beside Sarah's ear.
"I really want to kill you. Trap you in my realm forevermore."
Sarah licked her dry lips, and the quivering of her body increased with the loud palpitations of her heart.
"But, don't worry, I won't." Tatyana grabbed her chin and twisted her face to force her to look at her. Her chilly breath poured on Sarah's face. "You can try as many times as you want seducing her. Try, and try, and try. Use your harem members, and use your tricks with the system. Please, use everything you can."
Then, Tatyana thought to herself, the red in her eyes swirling like a whirlpool of blood.
'That way, Yasenia will eventually want to kill you, and I'll be able to slaughter you and erase your presence, not caring about Sky Continent's intention for creating you.'
Sarah stopped breathing. Those eyes felt so full of blood, as if it was about to spill and swallow her, drowning her in the feelings of Death.
Sarah saw a strange smile appear in Tatyana's eyes and then heard a low and chilling voice.
"Mom? Sarah? What are you doing?"
Sarah inadvertently panicked, even if she didn't do anything.
At first, the dragoness was surprised because, from her perspective, it looked like both of them were kissing. Of course, she knew it was her misunderstanding, but her voice's chill and suppressed anger escaped even then.
Tatyana laughed and released Sarah, turning around and looking softly at Yasenia. "Little Treasure, you're here. You've worked hard."
The strange aura around Tatyana fizzled like smoke in the wind, creating a soft and tender feeling.
It was as if the previous dangerous being was nothing but an illusion.
With long strides, Yasenia approached and hugged Tatyana with her arms and tail, engulfing her in a highly possessive embrace. She lowered her face and bit her cheek, licking her chin right after. "Mom, why are you so close to her?"
Tatyana didn't resist, and her body was soon buried in softness and slightly aggressive caresses. An amused and low laugh escaped her throat. "What? Is my little darling jealous?"
Yasenia gave Sarah one last look and focused on Tatyana, biting her lips. "You were too close."
Tatyana burst into laughter even when Yasenia was biting her mouth, finding her extremely cute. "How about a kiss to relax- Hmph!"
Tatyana moaned as Yasenia's long and sweet tongue filled her mouth and poured her saliva inside. 'Ahn~, I'm getting wet~.'
Sarah didn't really snap out of her daze until Yasenia and Tatyana stopped kissing. Her paralyzed brain began thinking normally again, and she took a deep breath, looking around.
'W-What?'
[Host. I've arbitrarily used
Sarah gulped and looked at herself. Even with the naturally purifying properties of her clothes, she still could feel them damp because of her cold sweat. 'S-System, are all seniors like her?'
[Host. That woman is unusual, but I can't read anything about her. She had used nothing, and the mental pressure the host received was nothing but that woman's existence.]
'E-Existence? I don't understand…'
[What I mean is that what you faced was her usual self.]
Sarah looked at the back of the woman buried in the arms of the tall and voluptuous dragoness and gulped. 'That's her usual self? Then… If she uses auras…'
Sarah shivered and shook her head. 'What should I do? She has given me permission to seduce Yasenia, but…' She couldn't help but feel strange as if she had fallen on the palm of something much bigger than her. It was a vague feeling that no matter what she did, she would not be able to escape.
'Escape? Escape from what?' Sarah rubbed her forehead and moved to the side, sitting on a rock. 'I must be going crazy. Let's relax for a while.'
Meanwhile, Yasenia began speaking about her experience with a happy face. "It was quite difficult to reach here! The pressure right before reaching the top slowed me to a tenth of my usual speed!"
Tatyana tiptoed to kiss her chin and smiled. "That's really good. That area is done taking into account personal strength, so you faced what a normal level three Dantian Spiritualization would."
Yasenia blinked. "Were you looking?"
Tatyana lifted an eyebrow teasingly, the bottom of her eyes shining obsessively. "My spiritual sense is always on you, love."
Instead of feeling creepy, Yasenia smiled brightly and hugged Tatyana tightly. "Really? Are you always looking at me?"
Tatyana kissed her neck a few times while answering. "Of course. I'm always looking at you."
Yasenia felt ticklish when Tatyana licked her neck and sucked. "That's nice~. Mmm~." She hummed when Tatyana's canines scraped her neck, sending electrifying currents to her brain. "Um… you are arousing me~. Stop."
Tatyana looked at the red patch on Yasenia's neck and smirked, satisfied. "Okay." 'I really want to take a bite~.'
Yasenia looked at Sarah with a competitive light in her eyes, ignoring the woman in her arms kissing her neck softly. "Sarah, I won't lose next time."
Sarah smiled a bit awkwardly, still feeling a bit out of sorts. "Yes, I will also try my best."
Her plans of getting closer to Yasenia were interrupted because she felt she was not in the right mind. 'Next time…' Her eyes moved toward Tatyana. '… Is it really all right?'
[Host. Didn't she give permission?]
'I just feel strange.'
[Maybe she was impressed by your perseverance.]
'Impressed enough to want to kill me?'
[After all, isn't she Yasenia's lover? She must be feeling jealous.]
'Hm… But, if so, why would she let me approach?'
[Long-living cultivators are very eccentric. Perhaps she wants to mix both harems into one? Maybe she will follow Yasenia no matter where she goes? It might work if the host can accept that the woman will always be by Yasenia's side.]
Sarah pondered and shook her head. 'Well… Let nature take its course. I need to clear my mind first. That experience was too terrifying. Any decision I make now is probably not lucid.'
[Understood.]
Yasenia and Tatyana waited, and a few minutes later, all the other girls began arriving one after another.
Evelyn arrived before Cecile, and the other five came simultaneously. Since there was no position reward, they had climbed together. They've also discovered that you can't help another person. If they tried helping, the pressure would multiply more than fifty times.
The beast heirs were also not far behind, and the same was true for Sarah's lovers.
By the time one hour had passed since Yasenia arrived, there was a group of 148 cultivators.
The 148 people looked at each other, knowing the competition was gathered here.
While waiting, one harpy approached Yasenia. "You should be Yasenia."
Yasenia looked at her and nodded, feeling that she was a bit rude for not placing an honorific before her name. "Yes, and who might you be?"
Even though she asked, Yasenia had seen her before. She was the leader of the harpy group back in the initial chamber. At that time, this woman had turned her head and avoided helping.
Yasenia didn't resent her, but any goodwill toward her was also erased. Therefore, she was indifferent to this woman.
The harpy squinted and snorted. "I don't understand what kind of spell you have cast on Matriarch Tengliu, but I recommend that you learn your place. Matriarch Tengliu is not someone who would be interested in a second-rate sect leader like you."
Yasenia looked at her coldly, and our girls were not amused.

Angel: Kya! Mommy Tatyana is so cool~.
The rest: *Nod, Nod.*
Author: Well, let's see who comes today. I summon you!
Arfa42: Today, it is I~.
Andrea: Hello.
Arfa42: Could you summon Sarah, please?
Author: Of course.
Sarah: You have been calling me quite often lately.
Arfa42: Well, I'm curious. Sarah, your system is a harem goddess kind. So, what happens to your "nightlife" if you have three digits or more lovers? Will you have six days of "nightlife" and one of rest? And how do you divide the harem turns?
Sarah: … Well. I haven't thought of something that far away. Also, who says I'll have a very large harem?
Arfa42: Right…
Sarah: Cough. Also, I don't really need rest, do I? The system gives me a lot of stamina. Does Yasenia need rest?
Evelyn: Nope.
Sarah: O-Oh. Well, with just six lovers, it must not be that tiring to repeat it every night.
Yasenia: Sigh. Sarah, it is not about tiredness. It's not a chore. It is about wanting to do it. If they want to rest, they just need to ask me, and vice versa.
Sarah: Right, right.
Arfa42: Well, that's all.
Author: Then, let's stop here today. Bye-bye, dears.
