After she was tackled to the ground, Yasenia started petting her children while laughing. All of them were trying to get a piece of her. "Hahaha. Okay, okay. I also missed all of you dearly!"
She didn't tell them to stop. She just pampered them for a long time until they finally calmed down. After dealing with the younger children, Yasenia stood up and walked toward Kaleina and Flame. "Come here, you two. I know you are eager as well~."
Kaleina and Flame walked forward and fell into her arms. "How are you two doing? Any interesting news that you want to tell me?"
Kaleina spoke first. "I have managed to increase my cultivation a lot! I am already in the third realm, and my control over my Void attribute is getting better."
Yasenia kissed her forehead. "That's great. How about you, Flame?"
Flame blinked and smiled, answering softly. "I am also doing great, Aunty Yasenia. My shop is becoming better, and my cultivation, while a little behind Kaleina's, is also advancing nicely."
"Oh?" Yasenia raised her eyebrow and asked. "Did Kaleina catch up? I thought you were ahead of her in cultivation."
Kaleina giggled. "She lazed around, so I caught up!"
Flame pouted, looking slightly childish. "I didn't laze around. I just focused on blacksmithing a lot, so my cultivation speed slowed down."
Andera commented from the side. "She has been very diligent. She can already create Magic-ranked items."
Yasenia exclaimed. "Magic rank? That's really good!" The dragoness kissed her forehead and smiled widely. "I am very proud of you too, Dear."
Flame smiled shyly with a hint of proudness in her eyes. Then, the dragoness released them and walked toward Andrea with a smirk. "Well, well, well. I can feel your sluggishness from here!"
Andrea asked, confused. "How am I sluggish?" She smirked and added. "Aren't I as energetic as ever?"
Yasenia stopped in front of her and poked her nose. "Do you really think that I don't know how my Darling feels when I become stronger?"
Andrea looked at the gorgeous golden eyes that gently looked back at her and sighed. "Hey, can you leave me a bit of face at least?"
The dragoness hugged Andrea and laughed, kissing her neck. "Silly Darling. I know how you feel each time my strength increases, opening the gap between us." The other girls were about to tease Andrea, but the dragoness looked at them and smirked. "All of you can hide it a bit better, but not good enough to deceive me!"
The girls cleared their throats, trying to look dignified while Yasenia exposed them. Andrea placed her hands on Yasenia's shoulders and asked softly. "Well, but we can't really do anything, right? So, what's the point of showing it and whining about it?"
Yasenia stepped back and raised her hand, showing a small wooden figure in her hand. "Well, that's about to change~. Look at what I found for you."
Kali blinked and smiled. "No wonder you were so eager to buy it back then! It was for Andrea!"
Yasenia nodded with a laugh. "Yeah. Once I discovered what it was for, I naturally thought of my sulky darling!"
"Will that nickname follow me from now on?" Andrea sighed with a smile, picking up the small figurine. "... So, what is this?"
Yasenia shrugged. "An inheritance of some sort. How much you discover and gain from it is up to you, Darling."
Andrea's eyebrow jumped. "An inheritance? Are you sure you want to give it to me and not Dawn? I bet Dawn would benefit more from it, right?"
Yasenia shook her head. "Baby Dawn will have her opportunities in the future. This is something I got for my Darling. For you."
Yasenia smiled gently. For Andrea, her face was alluring and beautiful beyond words. She couldn't help but lean down and give her a kiss on the lips, making the dragoness's tail wag. "Okay, love. Since you've taken this for me, I'll refine it."
"Great!" Yasenia clapped with a large smile. Then, she looked at Evelyn and raised her eyebrow.
Everlyn asked with a smile. "Oh? A treasure for me as well? I am quite full, though~."
Yasenia walked with crossing steps, making her curvy body sway temptingly. "Really? Then, you must not need this~."
Yasenia extended her hand in front of the semi-hypnotized Evelyn and summoned a spear. Evelyn's gaze went from Yasenia's breasts to that spear, and her eyes widened. "Huh? This… Isn't this a treasure of the same level as Angel's [Heart Of Glass] shield?"
The dragoness nodded. "Exactly! Are you happy?"
Evelyn picked the spear and smiled. "Of course. Even if it were a stick, I would love it." She then grabbed the spear and began a martial arts routine with it.
Her movements have evolved to a completely different level during these last years. She kept her swift battle style, but each of the blows had an inherent strength behind them that made them difficult to defend against. Even if you had a shield, blocking the spear would cause you to be blown backward.
The children looked at Evelyn's expert spear dance and couldn't help but renew their image of this Mama of theirs. Usually Evelyn trained them, but because she was too fast when fighting, they never really saw her movements.
Skye exclaimed. "Wow! Mama, you are super good with the spear!"
Evelyn laughed. "Of course, I am~. My [Spear Intent] is already at the eighth level."
Yasenia exclaimed. "Really!? You've advanced so much, Dear!"
Evelyn laughed. "Well, if we don't want to be left in the dust by a certain super genius, we need to work hard. Angel over there has even managed to increase her Intents to Level 9." Evelyn looked at the innocently blinking Angel and sighed. "You've also become a little monster. I am honestly not sure if Yasenia can easily win against you."
Angel snorted, crossing her arms with a pout. "We'll never know! I won't fight Yasenia! Even if you ask me, I won't do it!"
Evelyn laughed. "Don't worry, you two 'wrestle,' enough at night~."
Angel flicked her finger, sending a glass bullet that hit Evelyn's forehead. "Silly! The children are listening!"
Evelyn rubbed her forehead with a laugh. "As if they don't know about those matters~. Tsk, tsk, we haven't raised a bunch of prude dragons! They will conquer all kinds of caves and mountains!"
SLAP!
Evelyn spun in the air, creating a perfect arc, and then landed with open arms. Skye clapped. "Ohh! Even after Mommy's tail slapped you flying, you can land so nicely! Impressive!"
Yasenia sighed and shook her head. Then, she looked at the silent Cecile and cute Angel and smiled apologetically. "I have nothing for you two this time around, sorry loves."
Cecile shook her head and answered softly. "Don't worry, my love. It's not like we need anything."
Angel nodded. "Right, right. We have almost everything!"
Yasenia laughed. "Well, we still need to get Cecile an inheritance and then get you both a Natural Treasure." Yasenia paused and looked at Kali. "Speaking of which, have you felt something from yours in the worlds we visited?"
Kali shook her head. "I haven't. However, if I meditate for a few years, I should be able to detect the presence of the next shard. After getting two shards, my connection with it has increased many times over."
Yasenia nodded and pondered. "So, our short-term goals are to find Andrea's inheritance location and fill the [Spatial Astral Sky Sect] with creatures. Kali's will come later, after all, the Natural Treasure is divided in who knows how many pieces."
Evelyn shook her head. "Before all of that, there is something much more important that you need to do, Yasenia."
Yasenia blinked. "Really?"
Evelyn nodded and approached, grabbing Yasenia's hand and dragging her away. "My Yasenium reserves are dryer than a world without water! I bet the others are similarly thirsty, so it's time for you to quench our thirst of three years!"
Yasenia blinked a few times and saw Andrea, Angel, Tatyana, and Cecile surrounding her and carried her away. Kali waved her hand at Yasenia and smiled. "Don't worry about taking long! I'll take care of the children in the meantime!"
Kali had had her fill during these three years, so she was more than okay with letting them spend their time with her.
The dragoness gulped. 'I am going to be squeezed dry.'
Ebirah looked over and pondered. "Kali, do you think I should find a mate too?"
Kali looked at the gorgeous pink-haired lobster-woman with a gentle smile. "Ebirah, we are young. You don't need to rush. Look at how long our lifespan is, the only reason Yasenia and the rest of us moved so fast is because Yasenia found her soulmate too early in her life, triggering a hidden desire for reproduction in her."
The children approached, and Kali caressed Dianna's head while speaking to the others. "Remember, children. Finding someone is okay, and if you do, don't fear telling us about them. We will only tell you no if we think that they are deceiving you and trying to take advantage of you."
Interested, Skye asked. "Mama Kali, does our partner need to be someone influential?"
Kali shook her head. "Not at all. The most important quality in our family is whether you truly love the other person, even if they are someone with low status. A farmer, a noble, a merchant, or a sect disciple. You can choose whoever."
Dawn blinked and asked, pondering. "Do they need to be a girl?"
Kali tilted her head. "Why do you ask, love?"
Dawn smiled. "Well, all of our closest people seem to be female, so I was curious."
Kali thought about it and realized that it was indeed the truth. Most of the closest people to them were female. 'Huh? How did this happen?'
Kali tilted her head and realized. 'Ah, the males of that level become covetous more often than the women, so it is normal for them to be… eliminated.' Kali smiled. 'Thankfully, Lord Gu Chen will come into our circle soon. Having a male presence will be nice for the children…' Then, she clicked her tongue. 'Ayanduin… I hope he doesn't influence them wrongly.'
Speaking of him, Kali had left a few doses of the antidote with Ayanduin, enough for him to hold back the parasite for half a year. She decided to place this vote of confidence in him because of the conversation in Gu Chen's mansion.
Kali was still full of grudges, but she also understood that Ayanduin had some credibility and trustworthiness. 'Well, once he comes for more of the antidote and the other girls meet him, I guess he might go through some setbacks.' Kali smirked. 'I can't wait.'
"Okay, children. We are now going to go to the place where we will build our mansion. The location is quite far away, so I will transform and carry all of you on my back, okay?"
The children raised their hands and exclaimed. "Yay!"
They loved it when their beast mothers transformed into their true forms. Kali gathered energy, and soon, her body transformed into a mountain-sized, greenish four-tailed fox. Her figure was slim and agile, with golden and pink patterns of flowers on her fur that gave her entire being an enchanting and illusory attractiveness.
She threw all her children into the air using her fluffy tails, and due to how fluffy her fur was, they didn't get injured when they landed on her back.
"Okay~. Let's go!"
The fox then rushed toward the place that Tatyana told her. Meanwhile, in the distance, the dragoness was being eaten by the hungry lovers, creating a melody of pleasure-filled moans.
