Yasenia looked at the little woman between her arms and smiled softly. She sometimes felt that it was a bit of a shame that Evelyn loved a more frantic mating instead of a loving and slow love-making. However, she didn't mind much because even while they were doing it that way, Yasenia could still fill her ears and mind with loving words and actions.
Seeing the little darling sleeping between her arms after their week of constant sex felt fulfilling and exciting for Yasenia; she couldn't help but love Evelyn more and more as the days passed.
Using her hand and placing it over the still-swollen belly, Yasenia's eyes appeared as if they were dripping with love and care. 'Another little one is coming to our world.'
She knew that war was approaching and that it would be difficult. However, if she delayed it once again, Yasenia honestly couldn't see when she would be able to start a proper family with them.
After the war? Who knew when the war would actually end? The chance of everything getting more complicated and escalating further was not small. In Yasenia's opinion, there were two endings to the war that was about to happen.
The first option was Yasenia's plans coming to fruition. Then, she would be able to stomp down all her enemies, finally securing Distancia as her nest and her domain.
The second option is that something went wrong midway, and things got complicated enough that a long and exhausting war would begin.
A midpoint like a stalemate was not in Yasenia's calculations for two reasons. First, she herself would not allow it to happen, and if it were starting to occur, she would brute force a winning conclusion using the raw power of her army. Second, their armies were too imbalanced for something like that to happen.
If there was a force that managed to push her maids into a stalemate, then Yasenia had yet to meet them or even get a single piece of information about them.
Her hands constantly caressed Evelyn's naked back as she thought of these matters. She had no haste in going to her other girls, as she didn't want to leave Evelyn alone after getting her pregnant.
She wanted to be with her until she woke up and then pamper her. Yasenia refused to let the mothers of her children wake up without her being by their side.
So, for the following hours, Yasenia guided all the Yin energy that she absorbed from Evelyn into her Dantian. The energy was rapidly absorbed by her new Dantian, and a large part of it was strangely siphoned by the Celestial Energy Star.
Yasenia looked at that with curious eyes. 'Hm? Is it helping Soluna?'
The dragoness didn't know, but that didn't matter much to her. She couldn't actually do anything more to help Soluna, so everything was up to the spirit.
After a day or so, Evelyn's eyelids slowly fluttered open, and she was met with a large expanse of soft flesh right before her face. 'Hm, waking up and seeing Yasenia's breasts is a true delight.'
Evelyn looked upward and saw the dragoness looking at her with a peaceful and tender smile.
Seeing that smile, Evelyn's memory flashed with what happened and her eyes widened in realization. "W-Wait. Am I…" Evelyn looked at Yasenia and asked carefully. "Pregnant?"
The dragoness laughed softly and kissed her forehead. "That's right, Dear. You are pregnant with my child~."
Evelyn blinked several times, and to Yasenia's surprise, she saw tears gathering in her eyes, startling her. The dragoness knew that they were tears of happiness, but she couldn't help but become flustered.
Quickly gathering her in her arms, she started speaking soothingly and lovingly. "Oh, Dear. Don't cry~. I love you, Dear. I love you a lot. Don't cry, okay?"
Evelyn sobbed as tears fell and whimpered. "I-I am so happy, Yasenia."
Yasenia smiled as the petite girl buried herself in her arms and tightly hugged her. "I am also delighted, Evelyn. From now on, our family has grown by one, love."
Evelyn nodded quickly and her entire being entered "mother" mode. "S-So, what do I do now? Do I change my diet? Also, what do I need to do so that my child grows stronger? I want her or him to be super talented!" Evelyn realized and stuttered. "O-Oh, but, if they are normal or lack talent, I wouldn't mind as well, I will love them the same, so, do we plan for that situation? And, what if they want to become a demonic cultivator? How do we prevent them from becoming one?" Evelyn became nervous. "O-Oh, what to do, Yasenia, what if-?"
Yasenia stopped her words with a reassuring kiss and laughed. "Don't worry so much, Dear. We will take things slowly and at our own pace. We will teach them, get help from everyone, and also see what they are good and bad at." Yasenia caressed Evelyn's cheek, and seeing her attentive gaze, she softened her tone. "Evelyn, remember this, and remember it well."
Evelyn nodded, and Yasenia spoke. "As long as the child is happy after we did our best teaching them, then we will support their path. We can always try to guide them, give them our opinions, but, in the end, they are the ones choosing their future." Yasenia asked Evelyn. "What would you have done if your mother told you not to become my lover?"
Evelyn frowned and realized. "Right, I would've probably ignored her, and not only that, our relationship would've soured even more than it already is."
Yasenia smiled. "Right? So, remember, love. We are our children's guides and teachers, not their rulers."
Evelyn stuttered. "B-But what if they end up in danger or they are in a really worrying situation?"
Yasenia laughed. "Well, we will get rid of the danger and then use that danger to give her a good spanking. How does that sound?"
Evelyn nodded seriously. "Hm. A good spanking can work."
Yasenia burst into laughter and began tickling Evelyn while rolling around the bed. Evelyn's laughter filled the room, mixing with Yasenia's giggles, making a very cozy and happy atmosphere.
Yasenia and Evelyn talked for an entire day about many things, never separating from each other. Even when they were naked, there was not an ounce of lust in them, as they chatted away the hours and shared a pleasant and harmonious intimacy.
Evelyn looked at Yasenia and commented. "Now, love. You need to go to the others."
The dragoness nodded. "I will go, then." She gave her a small kiss and smiled. "I love you, Evelyn."
Evelyn grinned. "I love you too, Yasenia."
They stood up and took a shower together. Then, Yasenia put on clothes and left the room.
Instead of going directly to another of her lover's rooms, she paused in the garden and meditated for a day.
It was important for Yasenia that the girls didn't feel like they were "another one." Therefore, she wanted to reset her mind and calm her convoluted feelings awakened by Evelyn.
Once with one of her lovers, and more importantly, now that she was going to make them pregnant, Yasenia wanted her mind to be focused on them as individuals, not as a group.
The dragoness opened her eyes at noon, revealing a pair of placid and calm golden hues. Her vertical pupils looked forward with a happy and anticipatory feeling, but nothing deeper or different. "Perfect."
She slowly stood up and went towards Angel's room.
All the girls had gone to their own rooms and entered a meditative state, so that time flashed by quickly. They would not wait for Yasenia and do nothing in the meantime. After all, there was never enough time, and wasting it was foolish with Yasenia as a lover.
When Yasenia arrived, she saw Selena in front of the room. Greeting the red-scaled lamia with a hand gesture, the dragoness asked. "Is Angel inside?"
Selena nodded. "She is inside, Young Miss. You can enter at will."
The dragoness' hips swayed with her steps as she approached and opened the room. She gave one last look at Selena and smirked. "I'll see you in a while~."
Selena covered her mouth as she giggled. "Take your time, Young Miss~."
Once inside Angel's room, Yasenia was welcomed with a pleasant visual contrast that decorated the room with white and red furniture.
In the middle of the room, there was a large white bed, big enough for four people. Angel was seated cross-legged in the middle of it.
Mirrory appeared before Yasenia called Angel and looked at her. Yasenia was puzzled, as she didn't expect the senior to appear in front of her. "What's wrong, Mirrory?"
Mirrory commented. "To be honest, this is the first time one of my wielders will get pregnant."
Yasenia was surprised. If her estimates were correct, Mirrory was a creature that had probably lived eons. Perhaps she wasn't completely aware during the entirety of the incomprehensibly long time span. However, she was an ancient creature that came from times that even recorded history failed to preserve.
Yet, now Yasenia was learning that Angel would be a "first" in the books of this creature. The dragoness asked as she sat on a chair. "Why is that so?"
Mirrory leaned on the bed, her spiritual body failing to bother Angel's meditation. "My existence is Truth. As I explained before, my wielders could feel the truths of people. Even sincere love always has a reason, it has a truth, and when you dissect everything into the most individual parts, it becomes, ironically, meaningless."
Yasenia asked. "However, wouldn't any of your wielders want to create something like an inheritance for their descendants? Then, even without love, creating progeny would not be a farfetched situation."
Mirrory agreed. "You are right. However, when a cultivator walks down the path of truth, anything else other than finding the most absolute [Truth] becomes meaningless. Inheritances? Leaving behind something for future successors? Why do so when you can become the "only" successor?"
Yasenia pointed out. "But Fu Jing Jing left an inheritance."
Mirrory shook her head. "You are right and wrong."
The dragoness smirked. "Ironic coming from the [Truth Mirror]."
Mirrory smiled a bit. "Fu Jing Jing's death ascended her to Sainthood. As I said before, Fu Jing Jing has been one of my strongest wielders, if not the strongest one. However, as much as she was strong, Fu Jing Jing found truth in righteousness. Unlike many who walked down the path of objective truth, becoming a spectator as their path deepened in the seemingly endless cultivation path, silently disappearing from the eyes of everyone, and becoming shadows that overlooked creation in search of that [Absolute Truth]."
Yasenia sighed and smiled. "Lady Saint Fu Jin Jing is truly unique, isn't she?"
Mirrory nodded. "I honestly admire her. One of the few people I've ever honestly admired."
Yasenia nodded, and Mirrory continued. "So, because of Fu Jing Jing's righteous path and Karma, Venerable Morhuan, the creator of that Secret Realm you visited, decided to hold the last strands of consciousness from Jing'er's remains and lock us into his secret realm for one million years, in search for an inheritor."
Mirrory made a sarcastic face. "And you appeared, which sent our initial plans to eternal oblivion." The Ancient being looked at Angel with a hint of interest and wonder. "And now, here I am, ready to see my inheritor give birth to a new life."
The dragoness asked, curious. "How does it feel?"
Mirrory stopped speaking, thinking and searching for the correct word. "Mystical."
The dragoness's eyebrow raised, but she didn't add anything else. Her attention instead turned toward Angel and asked Mirrory. "Please, leave us some space alone~."
Mirrory teased. "Oh? I can't look from here?"
Yasenia snorted. "Distracting! Go inside Angel's soul, like always! You can peek from there all you want!"
Mirrory laughed and disappeared.
