Chapter 172: Chapter 172. Yasenia's efforts for them.
Oliver said, "Beside the letter, the reason I came to ask so suddenly is that Gerd wants to move to the Demonic Sect with Lucia. It seems that, no matter how much Lucia denies him, he is hell-bent on doing so. I thought of confessing before she moved…."
Oliver looked at the cloudy sky and sighed, "I honestly thought that he might leave her here if we got together, but after knowing about your enmity with Gerd... I'm not so sure anymore."
Yasenia stopped her hands and looked at Oliver. "You know, Oliver. In my opinion, your forward disposition and your ability to get along with practically anyone are what I like most about you. However, you've always had a weak point, and that is romance."
Oliver scratched his head awkwardly, "W-What do you mean? I've never been bad at romance, right?"
Yasenia looked at him gently and said, "Did you think that I didn't realize how you looked at me all those years ago when we were fifteen or so."
Oliver blushed a bit and looked sideways. Yasenia said, "I've never blamed you, and honestly, you were my first option in romance before all that happened on my 18th birthday... I was close to trying to be in a relationship with you. And I think it was because mom realized this that she took a step forward. I've never heard her say that the 18th birthday was special for any reason, but she transformed that day into an event that changed my life completely."
Oliver relaxed and reclined in the chair, sighing. "Do you think Aunt Tatyana would have let me confess?"
Yasenia continued sewing and softly said, "I don't know. Mom is very adverse to the idea of me having male partners. I don't understand because, well, she doesn't mind Andrea being with me. Moreover, Mom is... Not a very sane person and I understand why it is."
Yasenia sighed sadly, "The fact that she still has enough common sense and self-awareness to bring me up is something I admire deeply about her. So what if she wanted to raise me, her daughter, to become her lover?"
Yasenia became slightly agitated, knowing what people would think if they knew about their relationship. "Can those people who lived only for some hundred years understand the struggle of someone that has lived Hundreds of millennia of heartbreaks!? Even I myself can't imagine much less them! We are cultivators! We don't have the genetic problems normal mortals do if they have children with immediate family! So I can't see a single bad thing about our relationship!"
Oliver didn't interrupt and let her vent a bit. However, Yasenia relaxed fast again and shook her head. "Anyway, I'm going to be honest with you, big bro. I would have confessed much sooner if I were you. I don't like sudden events happening that may separate the people I find interesting and me."
Yasenia looked at Oliver and said, "That is why I began my relationship with all my lovers relatively fast. Even If I have yet to cross that last line with Kali, I took her under my wing first and then cultivated deeper feelings slowly. I did the same with Angel and Andrea. And even though I took longer with Cecile and Evelyn, it was because I felt that their feelings for me were constantly growing."
Oliver chuckled and asked, trying to distract Yasenia from her previous outburst. "How is it going with them? Are you happy, little sis?"
Yasenia smiled gently, and her eyes became tender. "I'm happy, big bro. I love them all a lot, and even though I always find myself thinking that it isn't fair for them to have to share me with other women. I try to do my best to give them all the love I can and more. I want them to be proud when talking with others about being in my harem. I want them not to feel less than women with single relationships. And if they are able to brag about it, then I would be satisfied."
Oliver looked at the almost finished green dress and smiled. "Don't put yourself down too much, little sis. You are an incredible woman. I'm sure they all feel lucky to have you as their partner. And as you said earlier, even I had a big crush on you when we were younger, hahaha."
Yasenia chuckled and said, "I hope what you say is true, and they really feel lucky. Even if I'm sharp, I'm not a mind reader at the end of the day."
Yasenia looked at him and joked, "And sorry about stepping all over your little heart~."
Oliver chortled and said, "You were locked by Aunt Tatyana even before you were born! I had no chance at all, hahaha."
Yasenia laughed with him. Yasenia said gently, "Do things that won't leave regrets behind, Oliver. Personally, I would rather try and fail than never try and not know if I could or could not do it. Go for it, but be careful with Gerd. Remember, big bro, if anything happens, ask for my help. I will always do all I can to help you."
Oliver nodded and reclined on the chair again. He took out a book, and they both stayed some more time there without speaking. The ambiance around them was relaxing, and with the refreshing breeze and the peaceful scenery, time went by fast.
An hour later, Yasenia finished the dress and smiled, "I'm done with it~. I hope she likes it."
Oliver looked over and saw a normal green dress that reached the ankles. It had some crooked golden flowers with little pink dragons flying around. Well, Oliver guessed that those snake-like things were dragons. The quality left a lot to wish for, but Oliver couldn't help but find it beautiful, knowing how much work there was behind it.
Oliver chuckled and said honestly, "I'm sure they will love it, little sis. I can feel the care and love in it from here."
Yasenia's tail wagged happily and said, "Let's give them to my dears~. Do you want to come?"
Oliver shook his head and said, "Nah, I will go home and prepare for tomorrow-. Moreover, that is you and your family time; I would feel bad interrupting."
Yasenia stood up and said, "Sure. Go directly to her, big bro. Who knows when that crazy brother of hers will act and suddenly kidnap her. The sooner you say it, the less risk you will have of not being able even to say it."
Oliver also stood up and nodded, "I will listen to little sis! Wish me luck~."
Yasenia walked forward and hugged him, "Good luck, big bro."
Oliver returned the hug, and then they separated. Then, he turned and left.
Yasenia stood there, looking at Oliver's back until he disappeared. After seeing how Oliver walked away with confident steps, she was reassured and went inside.
She took out the dresses and made them float before her with her energy.
There were five simple female dresses and one jacket—all of them with different designs and colors.
Yasenia found only giving one mortal garment each a little lackluster, so she wondered what more could she give. 'Should I give them something more?'
Then, she remembered her life-saving treasures. 'I do have five of those 100km random teleportation talismans, right?'
Yasenia took them out with a smile, and she placed one in four of the five dresses and the last one in the jacket. They had hidden pockets in the skirts, so it wasn't inconvenient, and they were nicely hidden. Yasenia nodded, satisfied. 'Those life-saving treasures I got from the excursion will come in handy for a nice surprise~. I hope they can save them from a dangerous situation....'
Yasenia put them all in a decorated wrapping, also done by her, and went inside with the six packages floating around her. She reached the living room and saw that all of them were present.
The others saw Yasenia enter carrying six packets and became intrigued. Cecile asked, "What do you have there, my love?"
They saw Yasenia sitting alone on a chair couch, which they found extremely strange. But when they saw her smiling, they focused on her.
Yasenia was honestly a little bit nervous because she didn't know if they would like it. However, she spoke calmly, looking at them. "I've done these in my spare time, and today I finished them. It is for all of you so, umm, I hope you like it. Come here, dear."
Evelyn approached eagerly and sat on Yasenia's lap. Yasenia chuckled and grabbed the purple-colored package. "Here, dear. This one is for you."
Evelyn opened it carefully; she didn't want to damage what was inside by mistake, or she wouldn't forgive herself in a lifetime. When she opened it completely and took out a knee-length, purple dress, she couldn't help but look at it, dazed.
It had some white and blue eastern dragons sewn on the skirt. They were a little crooked and weren't very detailed, but the effort behind them could be easily seen.
These two eastern dragons went around the skirt, interlocking, and had their heads pressing with each other forming a clear heart-shaped form. It had mid-length sleeves and a high collar.
It wasn't the most beautiful dress by any means, nor impressive.
But Evelyn had been learning tailoring these last weeks and had developed a discerning eye for clothes quite quickly.
When she instinctually analyzed it, she couldn't feel a single energy trace on the threads or stitching points. What did this mean? It meant that Yasenia had done them without using energy and from scratch. 'Spare time? How many hours has she spent on this? All that time she could have used for strengthening herself… Especially now that the secret realm is approaching….'
Evelyn became teary-eyed, touched by Yasenia's gesture. 'This silly and stupidly lovable dragoness.'
Without receiving an answer from Evelyn, Yasenia became a little nervous. 'Does she not like it?'
When Evelyn looked up with teary eyes, Yasenia's nervousness soared. But Evelyn didn't even let her speak as she used one arm to bring Yasenia down and seal her lips with hers.
Yasenia relaxed and answered the kiss happily, hugging her closer to her body.
When they separated, she asked, "Do you like it, dear?"
Evelyn said with an emotional voice, "The best dress in the world. I will treasure it for life."
Yasenia's smile widened, and she laughed happily. Evelyn gave her one last kiss and stood up, "I love you, Yasenia."
Yasenia smiled and said, "I love you too~. Oh! I almost forgot, there is a surprise in the pocket~ look at it when you are in your room."
Evelyn nodded and went to sit on the big couch, still looking at the dress.
Knowing they were receiving presents from their dear dragoness, they were all excited and fidgety, waiting for their turn. Yasenia looked at Angel and smiled, "Come here, baby."
Angel almost teleported and sat on Yasenia's lap. She was so excited that she directly kissed Yasenia before Yasenia could take out the present. Yasenia chuckled while kissing her and grabbed the yellow package. Angel stopped kissing her and opened it excitedly. "Another present! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I like it, and I don't know what it is!"
Yasenia burst into laughter and hugged her from behind. "Then open it to discover what it is, baby."
Even if she was excited, Angel also opened it carefully. Everything Yasenia gave her, she treated like a treasure.
Angel saw a yellow-colored cotton jacket. It had a single pocket, and Yasenia sewed an eastern white dragon on the pocket.
It was simple but elegant. Moreover, Angel realized that the jacket complimented the previous white dress Yasenia gave her on their first date, which gave her a gleeful surprise.
Angel squealed in delight, "The little dragon is so cute!! I love it, I love it, I love it! It is the best jacket in the world!"
Yasenia had a constant smile on her lips and a wagging tail, delighted by her reaction. Angel gave Yasenia a last big smooch and stood up, putting the jacket on directly with a wide and sweet smile.
As she said to Evelyn, Yasenia reminded her, "There is something in that pocket; look at it later. The other presents also have a gift in the pocket, so look at it later~." Angel and the others nodded with eager smiles.
