Pov Elena:
As promised, today I will sleep with my daughter Elizabeth: the proud dragon, and surprisingly she didn't oppose or rather she was so distracted that she simply ignored it.
It wasn't until I was in her bed hugging her with "maternal love" that she reacted, giving a embarrassed look and blushing.
"Haha, how cute," I thought.
I also wanted to do this, as it wouldn't hurt to experience being in my children's lives, and this is also a great opportunity to gain points with my daughter, since she will be a very important ally and not forgetting that this little one here is my strongest bond with Illios.
Time passed and Elizabeth finally fell asleep.
We were hugging or rather she was leaning against my chest and hugging my waist, seeing her up close my daughter will surely be a beauty.
Her silver hair was really beautiful and shiny, so much so that any women on earth who had anything to do with fashion would be envious, and her innocent face breathing softly was really adorable.
"If you keep it up, someday you'll be just like your mother," I said with great pride.
Thanks to the Star Demon body, my body developed in the most perfect way possible, so much so that I would be proclaimed the most beautiful woman on earth for all eternity, if I were in that place, I mean, not only on earth, I could also be here if I increase my power more.
While thinking about nonsense, little by little I was falling asleep.
Or so I had planned.
"AHHHH, DON'T GRAB MY TITS SO TIGHT!", that's what I wanted to say, but only painful moans came out of my mouth, since I could feel Elizabeth's tense body.
Damn it's so strong, Elizabeth was grabbing my nipples like she was going to rip them off, I mean I know I didn't breastfeed you but don't take revenge like that.
But I couldn't blame him because I heard that if you wake up someone who is having a nightmare they might have a heart attack from the scare, so I decided to hold on to the pain and slowly took Elizabeth's hands off and put them back on my waist.
When she put her hands on my waist she squeezed them very hard, really what's wrong with you little girl?
"It must be a crazy nightmare for you to almost rip my tits off with so much terror", I thought as she put her head on my chest and caressed her.
Oh god, if this had to put up with mom, when I had nightmares, I really admire her so much, especially her every time she looked at me in a motherly way. I, on the other hand, am not very pleased by your "strong caresses" little dragon.
Anyway, now we are going to sleep...
------------------
When I woke up, I could see the sun peeking through the window, indicating that it was around 5:00 in the morning. As I looked down, the little dragon was nibbling on my shoulder. I observed this with curiosity, as unlike yesterday's "caresses," her nibbles did not cause me pain or discomfort, but rather a bit of tickling.
As time passed, I observed the behavior of my little daughter for future reference. Finally, the little dragon woke up.
"Aaaaahhhhhh..." the little one, still half asleep, sat up and yawned.
After finishing her yawn, she looked at me with half-opened eyes, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that she reacted, opening her eyes and blushing furiously.
"He, he, he, little dragon, it seems like you've overcome your nightmare," I said with a mocking smile on my face.
It seemed that the little dragon's embarrassment was very great, as she immediately hid under the sheets and showed no signs of coming out.
"Anyway, Elizabeth, as I told you earlier, I need your help when we go to the Ice Phoenix Sect," I said and, regardless of her state, explained how she should act.
In summary, what Elizabeth had to do was simply serve as proof that Illios had good genes and could bring a breath of fresh air to their already decadent sect.
How exactly? Well, we would simply go to the sect and I would boast as much as I could about Elizabeth's abilities. And taking advantage of Illios possessing the Imperial Phoenix Ode, if they don't take the bait when they see the dragon's potential, I might have to entice them by promising them access to the simplest technique.
The Phoenix Aura, although only the first exercise of many in the Imperial Ode, can increase the efficiency of Phoenix Qi in those who possess such a bloodline, as it allows for more efficient control. It may not sound very powerful, but in this world, apparently the ancient phoenixes were quite backward for not being able to discover this process, even though they were supposed to have lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
With just this technique, I could ensure that at least one woman falls for my words and volunteers herself. Who doesn't like power, right? That being said, I still need more sweets and temptations, because who knows, in that sect there might be guys like those stubborn oldies who resist change, even when they see their ship sinking.
"Do you understand, Elizabeth?" Setting all jokes aside, I asked her seriously, as if I fail to meet the criteria, I might be expelled from this world. It would be a huge setback for me, as I have an unlimited credit card called Illios.
"I understand, mother," she said with a small voice still hiding under her sheets.
"Very well, tell Alyssa to prepare things for the trip and also tell her to accompany us in case you have any emergencies, understood?" I said, this time with a slightly mocking tone.
"What accidents could I, a dragon, have...?" My ears caught Elizabeth's careless mumble, so to mock her even more...
"Did you say something?" I asked her.
"No! I mean, yes, mother, I understand," she said and corrected herself.
With things sorted out with Elizabeth, now I have to deal with her father.
--------------
When I entered the office where Illios handled county affairs, I saw two mountains of documents on either side of the desk.
Honestly, I don't know where people get the pleasure out of games like S1M City, if you're really just playing to be a slave to the state and preparing things for them to profit off of, because in reality you have to declare the earned property and the government takes a large part of it.
Although in this world there is a feudal society where you can get rich as long as your territory is not a hellhole and scares away residents, this only increases the paperwork because the empire will not interfere as much in your affairs as long as you don't act like an idiot.
Anyway, back to the point.
"Illios, I need you to prepare 'donations' because I'm going to the sect in a few days," I said directly.
Although our relationship has not yet been fixed, we have a collaboration pact, since he will temporarily take care of the county while I make sure to find potential mothers with enough theoretical level to give birth to someone with the potential of the Sovereign of existence.
"I have already prepared a storage ring, you can check it and tell me if anything is missing," Illios replied, giving me a ring.
If this were not a cultivation world, the fact that Illios gives me a ring would only be seen as a marriage proposal, but in reality this small ring contains the source of my confidence to be able to convince the most ambitious people in the Phoenix of Ice sect.
"Be careful and don't show it to anyone, since in those novels there is always some type of infiltrator from another sect conspiring against them or some demonic cult," said Illios, giving me a detailed example of the possible dangers based on a novel.
I mean, even though we're in a world that is incredibly similar to those novels, it doesn't always have to be the same, right? Reality is very different from fiction, but it's true that robbers exist everywhere and I don't want any problems on this trip, as it is very important for the future.
"No problem, and...you should go somewhere to relax and have a drink," I said as I was about to leave the room. Relaxation is crucial because it helps you have a clear mind. Even if you have cultivation, mental health is quite fundamental.
"You know that with the Star Demon Body, it's highly unlikely that alcohol will affect me. In fact, I don't think it will affect me at all. Not like your 'tea', at least," Illios responded with clear sarcasm in his words.
"You have the appropriate tool to solve that problem," I said, ignoring his sarcasm.
The Universal System should have something that could help him with that issue. If they have a machine capable of transplanting a pregnancy, I don't think it will be too difficult to find relatively good liquor in that part.
----------
And so, Elena prepared to go to the Phoenix of Ice sect with Elizabeth, while Illios stayed in the county to deal with any issues that might arise.
Meanwhile, less than four years remained until the first event of the system, the details of which were still unknown.
