Chapter 504: Chapter 504. Kali's compromise. Angel's shock.
After Valeria appeared, she sat on her knees beside Yasenia with an obedient expression. Not really knowing how to face her angry Master, she smiled and asked. "Did you call Kali?"
Kali smiled angrily, her beautiful verdant green eyes shining like emeralds through her anger.
"Did I call you? Hahahaha. Oh, I sure did, Valeria."
Valeria and Yasenia flinched.
"You see. I've heard quite a funny thing from Yasenia. Something about you allowing her to use her blood essence to help me? It would be funny if it were true, right, Valeria?"
Valeria smiled, her lips twitching. "Well, I did do that, but."
"But what?"
The flat tone made Yasenia and Valeria feel intimidated. Yasenia was internally crying. 'Honey is not being nice. I want her pampering, not her lessons.'
Valeria was thinking. 'How do I calm her down? I should explain things as they are, right?'
Kali stepped forward, her three tails waving menacingly, and smiled widely. "Why did you allow Yasenia to do something so stupid?"
Valeria stammered. "Kali, listen to us. Yasenia won't be affected by this drop."
Kali's large fox ears stood up straight in rage as her three tails waved dangerously. Then, she snarled at Valeria with fury. "She wouldn't be deeply affected even if someone slices her stomach out! But that does not mean it is correct to do so! If Valeria were to feed us her flesh because it is nutritious, oh, ohohoho, you best believe I would smack Yasenia's butt so hard her personality would turn into Evelyn's!"
Yasenia felt guilty, but she didn't regret it.
It was true that she was not too affected. At most, her cultivation speed would drop by ten percent for a year.
This can be prevented by cultivating longer. Either way, she uses too much time to sleep and can use those moments to grow instead.
Yasenia sighed and smiled. 'I should calm her down now that she vented.'
Yasenia stepped forward and hugged her furious fox.
Kali's anger deflated by half once she fell into her lover's soft and comforting arms. "Uhh… Yasenia, hugging me is cheating."
Yasenia kissed her forehead and spoke softly. "Kali, love. The effects are only a negligible amount of slowdown in cultivation speed. I'll cultivate for more time daily and make up for it, so don't be angry. Not only that, I'll let you supervise my cultivation hours daily, okay?"
Kali looked up at Yasenia's softly smiling face and felt defeated.
The others looked at how Yasenia tried to console her, and they all smiled.
Andrea decided to step forward and help Yasenia. "Kali, you are now like Angel, having a deeper connection with Yasenia. So, I think you should be happy."
Yasenia looked at Andrea and smiled tenderly.
Kali sighed while Yasenia nuzzled her cheek and commented. "Andrea, you know that I'm very happy. However, we can't spoil this behavior."
Kali patted the dragoness rubbing on her, and sighed. "You all know that our dear will go to any lengths for us, so we must be firm and make Yasenia understand that doing these things is not right unless it is a life-and-death situation. Is the tournament that important? Evelyn's and Angel's performance is more than enough to reach our objectives.
Yasenia looked at Kali, and Kali lifted a hand to caress her cheek. "Love, I know you want to give us everything. I know you want to pamper us with all your soul. However, giving blood essence is at the level of feeding us your flesh because it is nutritious. Would you do something like that?"
Yasenia shook her head. "That's a bottom line I don't want to cross."
Kali nodded. "Then, add your blood essence into that bottom line, okay?"
Yasenia sighed and nodded. "I understand. Sorry for making you angry, Kali."
Kali laughed and used her arms to make Yasenia lean down so that she could kiss her. 'My love is so tall~.'
After kissing, Kali suddenly commented. "Not to mention, unlike Cecile's connection with you, Angel's and my connection with you is not permanent, so I don't feel it is worth it."
Angel's eyes opened wide as she became a shocked statue. Yasenia was also surprised.
Kali frowned and asked. "You didn't know? I can feel that the Blood Essence inside me will eventually dissolve and disappear. This will probably end the connection between us in the future."
Yasenia turned to look at Angel and saw her baby's aura and entire body gain the 'wilted eggplant' feeling of an abandoned puppy.
Yasenia's heart squeezed. 'Oh no, my baby!'
Yasenia's tail stretched and latched onto her little dear, pulling her between Kali and herself and squeezing her face between her breasts. "Oh, baby. Don't be sad."
Tatyana was also surprised. "It isn't permanent? I was sure it was. How can you feel that it isn't?"
Tatyana stood up and approached the three of them, using her senses to analyze it deeper.
Kali used her tails to surround Angel and Yasenia and make the little girl more comfortable, then explained it. "I can't guess how long it will last, but something inside tells me it isn't permanent. The aura of the blood essence is not completely fused with my bloodstream, and it will eventually be digested."
Yasenia sighed while kissing the top of Angel's head. "Well, I found it strange that I could mark more than one person besides Cecile. Even if I'm an exception, marking is something that it's difficult to do, even with rituals."
Andrea asked. "Is it that difficult?"
Yasenia chuckled. "If it weren't, my soulmate wouldn't be Cecile but Mom. Do you think she is someone who would give up that position easily?"
Kali sighed, and she used her hand to pat Angel's blonde hair. "Don't worry, Angel. It will last a lot of time and will slowly dissipate. We probably won't even feel it was gone since the process will be very gradual and across many years."
Yasenia nodded but was busy consoling her baby. "Oh, my baby, don't be so sad. My heart breaks when I see you so upset."
Angel lifted her head, and Yasenia was startled to see tears falling down her cheeks. "But I want to be your soulmate! Why must it disappear? I don't want to!"
Yasenia separated from Kali and hugged just Angel closely, picking her up and kissing her lips softly. "Don't cry, love. Don't cry."
The dragoness looked at the hour and commented. "Let me alone with her for twenty minutes. We should have enough time to make it for the competition."
Then, she carried Angel in her arms and went to a room on the side.
Evelyn sighed. "Sadly, we'll miss the Tattoo Masters competition. I was really looking forward to it."
Tatyana asked. "Do you girls want to go ahead?"
They all shook their head. Andrea answered. "No need. What is more important than Yasenia and Angel? We'll have plenty of opportunities to see something like that."
Tatyana nodded, and they all leaned on the sofa, waiting for Angel and Yasenia to exit the room.
Inside, Angel was kissed softly while she cried as they both lay on the bed side by side.
Yasenia tasted Angel's salty tears and wanted to make her baby sink into her body to console her sadness. "Baby, why are you so sad? We will continue to be lovers forever and ever. The soulmate connection is just an added thing. I love you with all my heart, dear. I love you so much I feel my heart in pain when seeing your saddened tears."
Angel was crying so hard that her words were interrupted by her sobs. "But I wanted to be your soulmate! I, I want to know how you feel inside and to know if you are in danger or safe."
Yasenia felt like a knife stabbed her heart, and someone twisted it deeply.
She turned Angel on her back and landed on top of her, lowering her face to taste her salty lips.
Angel was crying, but she still hugged Yasenia and answered between sobs.
Yasenia looked into her baby's reddish eyes with a tender smile, filling Angel's sight with her loving expression and loving eyes. "Baby, we will refresh the connection in the future, okay?"
Angel couldn't instantly stop crying, but her cries slowly stopped. As she hiccupped between intermittent sobs, she asked. "Really? How would we do that? I-I don't want you to hurt yourself."
Yasenia nuzzled her face with Angel's and spoke softly. "I won't hurt myself, baby. However, I'll make sure to find a way to make our connection permanent."
Angel's saddened eyes glittered, and she asked. "Really?"
Yasenia laughed and softly kissed her eyes. "How about I'll give you my blood essence each time it is about to disappear? I'll make sure to develop with Kali a pill that helps me negate the effects; that way, we'll be soulmates forever."
Angel hugged Yasenia's neck and asked with hope. "But that sounds really difficult."
Yasenia smiled. "Have I ever lied to you?"
Angel shook her head firmly.
Yasenia's golden eyes looked tender as she consoled her again. "We still have fifteen minutes. Let me cheer you up, okay?"
Angel felt her clothes, and Yasenia's disappear, and their naked bodies touched together since Yasenia was still on top of her.
The little girl felt her heart speed up as a deep blush appeared on her cheeks. Yasenia saw Angel's blushing face, with tear traces and reddish eyes from just crying, and she gulped.
Yasenia had to take a deep breath not to begin a wild session.
'Control yourself, Yasenia. Now it's not the time for that.'
Then, unlike the sex Angel expected, Yasenia cuddled her and shared skin-to-skin contact. The dragoness leaned on her side and nestled Angel between her arms and legs.
Angel's body fell into the soft, sweet-smelling embrace as their body parts touched closely together. However, the sensation was very different than when they were about to have sex.
Her mind, body, and soul felt like they had fallen into a pond filled with love as her body sank into Yasenia's careful and loving arms.
Angel blinked as her face was buried between Yasenia's naked breasts.
Her voice was still a bit brittle as she asked. "We won't do it?"
Yasenia's low and tender laugh entered her ears. "Silly baby, a connection is not all about sex. Take a deep breath, feel my body warmth, my love for you, feel my skin and passion for you through our connection, and close your eyes. You'll see how silly your fears are."
Angel surrounded Yasenia's waist with her arms and closed the distance further. Then, she followed her dragoness's words and closed her eyes.
