Chapter 448: Chapter 448. Wealthy? Super Spirit Market. Jewelry and Gem Embedding.
After the seven harpies left and closed the door, Yasenia's aura softened, erasing the solemn feeling in the room.
Without the dragoness's pressure, the room was very cozy and welcoming. The colors and plants created a relaxing atmosphere.
Cecile spoke with a soft tone. "Good job, my love."
Yasenia stood up and threw herself into Cecile's embrace.
The phoenix naturally opened her arms and silver wings, closing them as soon as the soft and fragrant body snuggled comfortably.
"Sweetheart~, I'm so tired! Pamper me~."
Who could resist?
Cecile certainly could not. She carried Yasenia toward the large couch and sat with the dragoness straddling her. Although the dragoness was big, this didn't impede them from sitting in this position.
The Phoenix's cold body would feel uncomfortable for other people, but Yasenia thought it was perfect.
Although Yasenia's body and attitude were usually hot, she also had the Moon attribute.
Attributes affected personality to a certain extent. It was a knowledge known by everyone.
Yasenia's Sun and Moon attributes also took part in this. For outsiders, Yasenia was as cold as the Moon and as indifferent as the night sky.
For her dears, she was the opposite, like the warm Sun that kept them warm and cozy in a cold-blooded world.
For her allies, Yasenia was like the stars in the sky. She had a mysterious and celestial beauty and looked like someone you couldn't see through or obtain.
After they sat comfortably, Cecile began petting her dragoness and kissing her. "My love is so hardworking. I'm very proud of you."
Cecile's three phoenix tails entangled with Yasenia's dragon tail as her hands caressed her back and her large wings cocooned her.
The feeling of the cold and feathered tails squeezing her tail muscles melted the dragoness until only a purring and tail-wagging dragoness blob remained.
The others chuckled and sat around them. Evelyn crossed her legs and commented. "We finally have everything on the starting line and ready to go."
Andrea nodded. "Right. What is our next move?"
Kali suggested. "Should we stay low and gather information?"
Evelyn answered. "Have you forgotten the small tournament coming up in the neighboring city? We should watch it to understand how strong juniors of the powers here are."
Yasenia didn't stop sniffing her sweetheart's neck as she commented. "You are right. However, remember that we have to do a few things more important than that before that."
Angel commented. "Long Baidi's ring is almost opened. I'll need two more days. Between the treasures inside, nothing will be of immediate use. It is also a shame that Sky Continent's purple crystals are worthless here. There are almost five hundred thousand of them."
Evelyn spluttered. "Five hundred thousand!?"
Tatyana chuckled. "If you could exchange them for Parus, you would become one of the richest people in Distancia."
Andrea asked. "What is the exchange rate?"
Tatyana said. "To remind you, the Parus currency is divided into six levels, needing 1000 of the previous one to reach the next. These levels are flawed, low, mid, high, peak, and flawless Parus."
Evelyn smirked. "I think none of us are so forgettable, Tatyana."
Tatyana smiled and thoughts. 'You may not be, but some people are.'
"Anyway, a Purple crystal is the equivalent of ten thousand flawless Parus."
They all choked and entered a coughing fit. Andrea muttered in shock. "Doesn't that mean we have 50.000.000.000 Flawless Parus?"
"Fifty Billion!?"
Cecile blinked. "Then, why are we selling things in the auction? Being generous, a heaven-grade treasure may reach a million flawless Parus tops. That's a drop in the bucket for us."
Yasenia kissed her neck and chuckled. "If there are other people from the Sky Continent, using purple crystals is like telling all of them we are here. It would be easy to track them back to us. Remember that we came here directly from the Secret Realm."
"We have quite a few enemies there. If they band with the top powers and sell us as a human-ally power, things can go south quickly. Our strength is not small, and the strongest cultivators of the continent will not allow to leave us to grow peacefully. Not to mention, they might force me to kill the humans, Evelyn, Andrea, Angel, and Mom, to prove my innocence no matter what kind of word plays and tricks I use. In short, it is too dangerous."
Tatyana agreed. "But little treasure, it's not like you can't use them completely. Using some as a mineral you've found wouldn't be a bad deal. You'll have to melt them and change their coin shape. Then, using rarity as an excuse, the price can also be increased by a lot."
Evelyn laughed. "Well, this resolves all of our economic problems."
"As if we had any in the first place." Yasenia snorted, making Cecile chuckle as the air she blew tickled her neck.
Then, they entered the discussion about the shop. Andrea opened the conversation. "How many shops will we set up in Koran City?"
Yasenia answered easily. "One."
Andrea and the others blinked. Kali confirmed. "Just one? We won't open one for each profession?"
Yasenia nodded. "We'll make a huge shop with shops inside. We can separate it into floors for different necessities and professions. Each floor can also have many stalls, and if it gains popularity, we can even make deals with other powers to allow them to set up their own shops inside in exchange for gaining a percentage of their income."
They all thought about it and realized that it was an excellent idea.
Meanwhile, Tatyana blinked twice and asked. "You want to open a supermarket?"
Yasenia was confused and asked. "A super what?"
Tatyana laughed and shook her head. "Nothing, don't worry. I also agree with this idea. Allowing other powers to set up shops can also avoid many conflicts. We can also use blocking the highest floors as a privilege to inflate prices for the biggest spenders. The fact that the item can be bought in a privileged place can greatly increase prices."
Kali asked with disbelief. "Mother-in-law, do you really think people will pay extra just because it is in a "privileged" spot created by us? They are not stupid."
Tatyana sighed. "Oh dear, you underestimate how easy it is to manipulate a population as long as a certain portion of that population does it."
They found it hard to believe but decided to believe in her.
Yasenia, on the contrary, was fond of that idea and began scheming with Tatyana on ways to promote it.
The girls listening to obviously black-hearted schemes to squeeze money from people prayed together toward future consumers. 'May this mother and daughter don't scam you too hard.'
Angel silently asked. 'Mirrory, do you understand what they are speaking about?'
Mirrory answered lazily. 'I do. The idea is quite revolutionary, to be honest.'
Angel was surprised. 'You haven't seen things like that in the past?'
Mirrory rolled her eyes. 'Usually, my masters are all focused on cultivation and don't meddle in these worldly affairs. A cultivator doesn't need economic power if their strength is high enough. Why should I pay attention to something like this?'
The night arrived while discussing things.
Yasenia looked at the darkening sky and stood up from Cecile's embrace. Yes, she had been plastering herself on Cecile all this time. "Let's stop here. We prepared the general outline and can work on the details in the future."
Kali asked. "What are you going to do now?"
Yasenia smirked. "I'm going to cook! I need to teach five Spirit Cooks well. Maybe they can open a small restaurant in the Super Spirit Market. It will help people who want to wander around for more time and get hungry. Moreover, I must give work to the gardener, talisman master, architect, gem embedder, and jewelry master."
Angel asked curiously, "What is the difference between a gem embedder and a jewelry expert?"
Andrea answered. "The jewelry master focuses more on the design and carving of the actual material. They create accessories and such."
"The Spiritual Gem worker focuses more on the theory and development of new ways to add special materials, usually precious gems, into treasures and other objects."
"They are similar, but the distinction is that one creates items while the other focuses more on bettering items after completion. They will work together with my blacksmiths to create high-end accessories. Blacksmiths can create accessories, but the quality is much lower than theirs."
Yasenia stretched after she stood up.
They couldn't help but appreciate that curvaceous body stretching and highlighting all the seductive features.
Yasenia sighed after stretching, making some of them gulp.
The dragoness smiled and commented. "We have everything on track. The thing we are lacking the most is income and liquid capital."
"Tomorrow, to alleviate some of the more materialistic harpies' worries about the future, let's hold an exhibition of the things we will present for the auction house."
Kali nodded. "That's a good idea. Once they see the depths of our funds after instilling respect for the first days, they will think of us more highly, and the chances of betrayal during our first most difficult period will decrease tremendously."
Evelyn smirked and added. "Moreover, these harpies have previous connections. Once they realize our goods' quality, number, and variety, they will probably contact allies or people they know, spreading our name while also being limited to businesses."
Andrea further added. "We'll maintain anonymity in the public eye, but our name will slowly reach the higher-ups of the Distancia Continent. This can make us remain hidden and also visible."
They looked at Yasenia's calculating eyes after realizing the extent of the effects, and they couldn't help but admire her.
Each step may not be significant, but it was steady and firm and stronger with each stride.
As they saw her retreating back, they could already imagine that not too long from now, a single stomp from the dragoness would be able to make the continent tremble like an earthquake.
Dinner and the first night were uneventful.
Yasenia celebrated with her girls at night, filling them with much love.
She didn't forget to put Kaleina to sleep first.
They all thought they would drown in Yasenia's love as she didn't hold back much. Their eyes rolled at the rhythm of their rocking bodies, and melodic moans filled their rooms for hours.
After the fact, Yasenia walked to Kaleina's sleeping room, picked her up, and carried her toward their shared bed, placing her beside her head.
Then, she went to sleep, surrounded by her satisfied and peacefully sleeping girls.
When they woke up the next day, they could still feel the hotness all over their body and a bit of soreness on their lower halves. They all stood up and walked outside the bedroom, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
'My goodness, I think I will have a hoarse voice all day. Yasenia was really excited yesterday.'
Thanks to the unique qualities of Yasenia's discharge, they could still fill it moving in their core as they walked, making them feel delightful.
In an excellent mood, everyone began their morning activities.
