Chapter 479: Chapter 479. Results of the Tailoring Tournament. Luna's first step.
After Yasenia returned to her seat, the judge gulped and cleaned the sweat that gathered on his forehead because of Yasenia's previous pressure wave. The sensations were raw when the dragoness wanted to make herself known.
He looked at Yasenia, who was currently playing with a short blonde human on her lap, and commented lightly. "Everyone, please follow the tournament rules. Although killing humans is not heavily punished, it will if someone owns them. Not to mention, you human slaves should restrain your eyes when looking at the seniors. We can't protect you if you offend someone you shouldn't."
He was clearly hinting about Yasenia's actions. Even then, the warning was similar to a little slap on the wrist for everyone involved.
The judge looked at the bunny woman who stood up with a face that was clearly not okay, so he asked. "Seniors of the Bunny Clan, your competitor seems a bit out of herself, and she will probably not be able to compete."
One of them frowned and looked closely at her. "Let her be. She deserves what happened to her. If she fails, then she fails."
This senior has also been scared by Yasenia's dominant display, so he decided to retreat first before taking any action. Even then, they made sure to clean her from her previous loss of control.
No one judged her. They felt that being in the center of that aura storm must have been terrifying.
The judge turned toward Yasenia and asked subtly. "Senior, should I disqualify her for attacking your property?"
Yasenia stopped looking at her baby and lifted her gaze from her cute face to look at the judge. "No need. It was a small transgression. That small reprimand is more than enough. I've seen her high talent, and I can assume that she was blinded by momentary rage and didn't intend to disrupt the tournament. A human beast genius like her wouldn't be petty enough to envy a human genius, after all. They will be on completely different levels in the future."
The bunny woman's seniors felt that her words were a bit too humiliating, but they didn't say anything.
Yasenia looked at them and smiled. "I hope this event doesn't get in the way of a future possible negotiation."
The bunny woman's clan couldn't help but feel subtle about this situation. The leader cleared his throat and nodded. "As the senior says, it was she who was narrow-minded. Sorry for all the interruptions, seniors."
Many people praised the bunny clan as generous and gave their sincere praise, making the atmosphere cheerful again.
The middle-aged tiger man in the Epoch Core realm and his six companions looked at Yasenia deeply, many thoughts flashing in their minds.
Meanwhile, Evelyn and Luna returned to their position and kept competing.
The competition's following stages were challenging, and Evelyn did her best, holding back nothing of her current skill.
Still, it wasn't enough to compete with the near 70 years old.
After a few hours, Evelyn managed to end up twenty-first. This rank impressed almost everyone, but Evelyn felt, for the first time, her inexperience in the Tailoring Profession.
Between Yasenia's dears, Evelyn was the newest in her profession by far.
Although Evelyn was strong in tailoring, her talent profound, and her teachers incomparable to anything Distancia could give, you must remember that Evelyn's previous profession was alchemy. She only changed a few months after Kali joined their group.
Reaching the twenty-first place was an accomplishment, and she got rewarded once she returned with Luna to the stands.
Yasenia hugged her closely, ignoring the eyes around, and kissed her all over her face. "My dear is so talented! Even as a human, she ended up twenty-first! I'm so proud of you, dear."
This cemented the thought of Yasenia being a female-human-loving woman. They could clearly see that Yasenia was kissing her face everywhere, even lifting the veil of the human to kiss the lips directly.
Everyone could see how the human directly melted in her master's embrace and snuggled close to her with joy and love for her.
'Well, if that kind of woman kisses me like that, I also would want to become her slave!' Many thought enviously.
Even after that, nobody thought it was inappropriate since it was a fact that Evelyn performed very well.
Receiving praise from her master and pampering was not a stretch by any means.
Moreover, when they saw Evelyn's eyes bend sweetly, they understood that this wasn't the first time the dragon woman pampered her humans in this way.
Yasenia didn't lose her hug, forcing Evelyn to bury her face in her neck and hug her like a koala, and she turned toward the elders. "My juniors don't have any more competitions today. Do you think it is worth it if we stay to see the rest of the things? Or should I roam the city more?"
"I recommend looking at the rest of the tournament. You may see interesting participants, after all." Commented Elder Song with a sour tone as she looked at how Evelyn snuggled between Yasenia's arms.
Yasenia had this intention since the beginning, but she wanted to ask to look even less suspicious. Yasenia aimed to look at every human slave that appeared publicly and guess if she knew any.
Elder Yu teased. "Maybe you can get another human beauty. Who knows?"
Yasenia laughed. "Elder Yu has mistaken me for a pervert. It looks like my reputation has changed."
Elder Hao looked at Evelyn and commented with a chuckle. "Well, you can't speak too convincingly when you have a human on your lap as you do."
Yasenia patted Evelyn's butt twice and smirked. "Well, she performed outstandingly, so I'm more than happy to pamper her."
Elder Mao nodded. "That's true. Evelyn did extremely well against the other participants. To be honest, the dresses she created are not only powerful, but they are also beautiful and unique. I guess the aesthetic sense of a human is a bit different."
Evelyn answered back with shyness in her expression. "Thank you for the praise, Respected Elder Mao."
Elder Mu was usually not vocal, but the old-looking woman still spoke this time. "Don't be so humble, little human. You deserve praise. I haven't seen the other humans besides Lady Yasenia perform yet, but you are the most talented human I've seen in my life."
The others also nodded.
Evelyn scratched her cheek and answered. "Well, that's high praise, Elder Mu. However, I can be considered the least talented among my peers."
Elder Song was so surprised that she exclaimed aloud. "You are telling the truth?"
Evelyn nodded, and Yasenia didn't refute her. Even if she loved her mischievous girl dearly, she knew that she was the least talented of all of them.
Yasenia kissed her eyes and commented. "Even then, dear. You are amazing, so don't you dare humble yourself."
Evelyn felt a little emotional and nodded vigorously. This dragoness has always lifted her self-esteem in every way possible, and Evelyn could only fall deeper for her. Each time Yasenia encouraged her, she felt like she could do anything, and her will to improve only increased.
Evelyn couldn't be too vocal because of the people around her, but she still smiled widely and exclaimed clearly and loudly. "I love you, Master!"
Yasenia smiled softly and touched their noses together. "I love you too, dear."
Jorey chuckled, her black fox ears dancing playfully. "Oh my~, Evelyn got a little emotional because of all the love from her master~."
The others laughed, looking at Evelyn with amusement. Evelyn blushed a bit and hid her face in Yasenia's neck.
Yasenia snorted. "Jorey, you are making my little girl shy."
Jorey laughed and commented. "Pardon me, Lady Yasenia. I just wanted to tease her a bit. By the way, I'll make sure to reserve the beauties that come to my slave house in the future."
The temperature around plummeted, and Cecile's cold voice entered their ears. "I would like it if you don't suggest these things to my lover right before me. I'm her mate, after all."
Their lips twitched, and their gazes moved toward the Phoenix woman sitting silently beside Yasenia.
Yasenia rolled her eyes and commented aloud. "Don't listen to her. If you have any, tell me. I will buy them for a generous price if I find them worthy."
Jorey glanced at Cecile and asked. "Are you sure? Your mate does seem a bit bothered by it."
Yasenia used her hand to move her long black hair and smirked. "My lover is bothered because more than half of you are looking at my breasts squishing against Evelyn's chest."
Many coughs and choking sounds sounded.
"By the way, they won't spill out. This dress prevents them from doing so."
The coughs increased as many blushes bloomed.
Yasenia laughed and turned toward Luna to look her up and down. Luna still had a deep memory of the bone-deep fear she felt when Yasenia descended before her, so she tensed even if her expression remained as lost as before.
"What's your name? Do you have one?"
Evelyn looked at Yasenia and was about to answer when Yasenia's voice reached her mind. 'Let her answer. I want her to open up. The most challenging part for people like her is not recovering from the trauma but learning to speak back normally again. Once they can communicate, the trauma will slowly disappear.'
'Now that I think about it, you did something similar with Kali, right? Slowly opening her up and forcing her to speak up.'
Yasenia sighed. 'But I did it wrong with her. I was too forceful at the beginning with her. I was only successful because Kali's trauma was slightly healed.'
Kali was listening and comforted Yasenia. 'If your care is flawed, then no care in this world can heal somebody like me perfectly. Yasenia, your efforts are something I've felt since the first time we spoke. That's why I love you dearly.'
Yasenia was a bit embarrassed, and a pink color tainted her ear. 'Um, thanks, honey.'
Tatyana secretly used a camera to capture every instant of her momentary shyness while Evelyn lamented she couldn't do so as she was still between Yasenia's arms. The other girls forgot to blink, saving this memory in their "Yasenia is the cutest, and no one can deny it" folder in their minds.
This conversation was quick, and Yasenia returned to speak to Luna, who had been silent after her question for ten seconds.
The others curiously looked at how Yasenia would handle the situation.
Yasenia commented. "I know you've suffered a lot. But now you are my subordinate, and I won't let you suffer. The first step toward recovery is speaking, opening your mouth and speaking."
Yasenia thought of something and suddenly asked. "Kali, do a full body check-up. Although Evelyn has given her healing pills, there may be sequelae from her abuse."
Kali approached and inspected her. Her face became a bit hard to read, as she said. "Um, Yasenia. Her insides are very misaligned. I think she has been forced to have intercourse with a species with a too large of a member while taking healing medicine...."
Many women present cringed. The sexual organs were the same, so they could only imagine the torture.
Jorey felt that maybe there was too much when dealing with humans, but thinking of the horrible things she has done to the species, she couldn't speak out without looking like a hypocrite.
Yasenia nodded and commented calmly. "Heal her."
Kali took out a Heaven-ranked pill and gave it to Luna. Then, she used her Nature and Life attributes to nourish her body while using the soul of the patient to make the body remember the proper shape of the body.
Luna grunted in comfort as a pleasurable sensation of relief she had never felt covered her body while everything inside her fell into place. Her brown eyes opened wide as the pleasant sensation of Kali's highly pure energy nourished everything inside her.
Then, a grey cloud gathered above them, and Yasenia lifted her eyebrow. "Kali, stop."
Kali looked up and separated. A moment later, a lightning bolt fell on top of Luna.
*BANG!*
Luna's body was instantly half-charred as a scream of pain left her mouth. Unlike physical abuse, Heavenly Tribulation also attacked the soul.
After the lightning bolt, the clouds dispersed, leaving behind stunned spectators.
Kali approached again and forced Luna's body to absorb the remaining healing power inside her. The very red skin regenerated instantly, and her body became completely new. Her hair fell off, and a new brilliant and shoulder-length cascade of black hair grew.
The malnourished person from before had disappeared, leaving behind a beauty many couldn't look away from.
Yasenia lifted her eyebrow and commented aloud. "Hoh, she broke through without a cultivation method."
Everyone present was awed at Yasenia's comment. Increasing strength without a cultivation method is like learning to speak a language without having heard it. Meaning the person would have to invent and learn the language as they go.
Yasenia smirked and stood up, towering above Luna. "Now, human, what's your name?"
Luna, who felt like she was reborn, looked up at Yasenia with eyes that were filled with a hidden vitality. She opened her mouth and slowly and carefully uttered. "Lu... Na."
Yasenia's smile widened as she leaned forward and placed her face right before hers, just a few centimeters apart. "Well, Luna. First of all, congratulations on becoming a cultivator. Second of all, congratulations on becoming my slave. Finally, congratulations on taking the first step toward recovery. I hope that you will grow into a powerful and independent female."
Luna's dead heart felt as if it had caught fire, as a warm current spread in her body. Looking into those gorgeous golden slit eyes, her brown eyes were filled with an underlying emotion only Yasenia saw as she was so close to her.
Yasenia smiled and communicated in Luna's mind. 'I don't care if the thought of revenge has crossed your mind, but you are like a little chick that has just hatched from the egg. If you work for me with good intentions, I don't mind making you strong enough to fulfill that revenge. However, take one step at a time. Now, conceal that hatred in your eyes, or... I'll kiss you.'
Luna felt her heart actually skip a beat as the last sentence was filled with such seduction that few would be able to resist, even someone like her.
Yasenia straightened her waist and continued. "I'll try to recover your mental state to a level where you can at least regain your will to live and strive for something. You will receive further instructions once we reach home."
Luna nodded lightly. Yasenia squinted and ordered. "Speak to me. Do you understand or not?"
Luna trembled a bit after seeing Yasenia squint and finally nodded and gave Yasenia an answer. "Yes."
Yasenia relaxed and smiled. "You can speak if you want. That's good. From now on, you must be more vocal with your answers. Walk beside Evelyn."
Luna obeyed and went with quick steps beside Evelyn. She even stretched her hand and grabbed onto Evelyn's white dress.
In Luna's heart, this person was the most important. She was her goddess who gave her a hand and snatched her from that continuous and eternal torment.
Evelyn didn't mind Luna grabbing her, and Yasenia completely ignored it. Only a person with mental problems would feel jealous of her.
