บท 982: Chapter 982. Entering the [Forgotten Star Area].
After mounting on the warship, they all prepared to depart. Before they did so, Kali asked. "Yasenia, won't the city fall into chaos now that you've killed the leader?"
The dragoness paused right before giving the signal to depart. "Hm? Does that bother you, Honey?"
Kali looked at Yasenia and smiled a bit weirdly. "Usually, it wouldn't, but…" Kali sighed. "When I saw those cauldrons, I just couldn't help but imagine that they would be refilled once we leave."
Yasenia tilted her head. "I see. You are feeling compassion for those little ones… Hm." The dragoness rubbed her chin. "While we can't save everyone, looking out for people occasionally should not be a big problem."
Kali looked at Yasenia and shook her head. "No, we can't. Your health is a priority. You are currently in pain and with a terrifying poison in your soul. I really don't want to delay a single second."
Yasenia smiled softly. "Hm. Okay, give me five minutes then." She flew out and hovered over the city. "I'll come back in a while. If I see the same mess, I'll just create a crater in the place where this city currently is…" Yasenia paused and sighed. "Forget the figurative speech. If I come back and this city doesn't protect at least the children until they grow up, I will kill all of you. Understood?"
Then, she flew away and landed back on the warship while everyone in the city stood there, baffled.
Kali looked at Yasenia and laughed. "I guess that's better than nothing."
Yasenia caressed her fluffy fox ears. "Becoming the leader will lower me to their height and make me a "mortal" in their eyes. If I just make a threat like an almighty immortal, there will be people who will use that as hope and stand up to fight for a better future. Will there be a better future? That's up to those doing the uprising. However, it certainly is better than doing nothing."
Kali hugged Yasenia and squinted comfortably while the dragoness played with her ears. Yasenia's agile and long fingers squeezed around so pleasantly that Kali's legs trembled with comfort.
"Okay, now that my pretty fox is happy, we can depart! Use the maps we've recovered to approach the hidden area through normally traversed routes."
The dragoness sat on a chair, and Kali plopped her soft butt on her lap. Her four tails moved happily while looking at the scenery around the blur from their speed.
It didn't take long to see other flying treasures moving in different directions toward the place that was covered with that massive formation. "How much area does the concealing formation we are dealing with cover?"
Alaia commented. "It is quite large, around two-thirds of Distancia Continent's land surface."
Yasenia muttered. "It is large, but isn't the space slightly small for a Transcendent Cultivator to rule?"
Valeria commented. "Size is not the most important~."
The dragoness raised her eyebrow. "Well, that's right. The resources of the area can also be very important… Is it important enough to keep the curiosity of probably more than one Transcendent Cultivator? We'll need to see, I guess. Join the flying treasures and slow down, even if we take a few days to reach a destination. We shouldn't stand out too much."
Kali smiled. "The way you dealt with the people in that town was quite nice! It had been long since I saw you acting overbearing in such a way, hahaha."
Yasenia sighed. "I have been too restricted in Distancia, to be honest."
Kali stuck out her tongue. "I don't pity you. They were voluntary restrictions!"
"That's also true, I guess."
Alaia warned. "We are going to enter the concealing formation. I can feel several high-level energy sources in the distance."
Yasenia patted Kali's butt, signifying her to stand up. After she approached and looked in the distance, both her eyebrows raised. "Is that an energy gate? It seems that there is something interesting going on here, after all."
Kali tilted her head. "The level of these formation drawings is very high. I can barely understand anything. I don't think Angel would be able to replicate some of these formations."
Selena shook her head. "Not even close. Those are High-Level Transcendence Realm formations. Even I would be unable to draw them… Young Miss, be attentive. The way Young Miss acted back in that city is good to roam the Cultivation World and Demonic Cultivation Areas. Still, refrain from easily killing people. Try to leave them heavily injured but fully recoverable by standard means."
The dragoness nodded and walked to the bow of the ship. The maids who weren't in charge of manipulating the warship's formations walked by her side.
Once they arrived, a few smaller ships and cultivators riding their swords and other flying treasures like fans, shields, and beasts approached. There were nearly 20 of them.
The leader of the guards spoke loudly and with a commanding tone. "Identify yourself!"
Yasenia spoke faintly, using her bloodline pressure together with her voice. "Yasenia from the Astral Sky Clan."
The Guard Captain paused when he felt the suffocating pressure from the gorgeous woman's voice. Still, he hardened his face and continued asking formally. "I don't have any records of an Astral Sky Clan."
Yasenia spoke faintly, but her mellow voice reached them without a single problem. "We are relatively new. This is our first visit to the [Forgotten Star Area]."
The Guard Captain nodded and moved his hand, sending information into the jade scroll he was using. Selena whispered. "He recorded your name along with your power and appearance, Young Miss."
Yasenia spoke aloud. "I would not want my appearance recorded, Sir."
The Guard Captain paused and looked at Yasenia with a curious gaze. "Oh? You understood what I was doing?"
The dragoness smiled faintly. "Please, delete my appearance. I don't like to admit it, but it is my main source of problems, and having it recorded will lead to disaster almost for sure."
A female soldier at the right spoke. "We should make an exception, my lord. Lady Yasenia is right."
The Guard Captain nodded. "Understood. Instead allow me to record something that's unmistakable from you. What could it be?"
The dragoness thought and smiled. "Wait a second, please. I am going to use energy, so please don't overreact."
The guards nodded and prepared their weapons. Yasenia then moved her energy and focused it on her back. With a burst of powerful energy, two massive pair of draconic wings burst outward from her back. The gorgeous colors were stunning, but the vivid Sun and Moon of the wings were magnificent.
Yasenia smiled. "The shape of my wings should be enough, Sir."
Some guards gasped. "Gorgeous scales."
"I thought her tail was already good-looking, but her wings are equally beautiful."
The Female Guard sighed. "It is as if she were crafted by the Heavens. It has been a long while since we had such a beautiful woman enter… My Lord, I have a suggestion."
The Guard Captain snapped out of his daze and asked. "What would that be?"
The Female Guard smiled. "I would like to be their guide. I think it is a bit dangerous to let her enter as she is."
The Guard Captain pondered and nodded. "Okay. Go ahead." He turned around and shouted. "Open the gate!"
The Female Guard landed in front of Yasenia with a smile, and the dragoness finally could take a closer look. She was a brunette woman with an oval face and a decently proportioned figure. Her cultivation realm was peak-level Ethereal Soul, the fourth Body Realm.
"Hello, Miss Yasenia. You can call me Miss An. I hope you don't mind me choosing to accompany you."
Yasenia shook her head. "Don't worry, Miss An. I can feel your goodwill. I appreciate you and…" Yasenia extended her hand and smiled softly. "Welcome aboard."
Miss An was dazed for a second, but she managed to snap out of Yasenia's enthralling smile a few seconds later. "Ahem! Miss Yasenia, that smile is prohibited from now on. I recommend that you look as indifferent as possible."
Then, she stretched her hand and took the dragoness's hand. 'Wah… So soft… Is this woman made of pudding?'
Alaia saw that An had been holding Yasenia's hand for more than a minute and coughed. "Miss An."
An snapped out of her daze and released Yasenia's hand. "D-Definitely prohibited from offering your hand as well!"
Kali laughed and presented herself. "Hello, Miss An. I am Kali, Yasenia's wife."
Surprised by that declaration, she asked. "Really? Female and female romance? That's rare!"
Yasenia nodded. "We know. But things went well, so we gave it a try. We are happily together now."
When they crossed the gate, a powerful wave of dense energy surrounded them. Yasenia took in a deep breath and almost moaned a sigh. "The energy density here is not bad at all. Miss An, do you…" Yasenia blinked and looked at An, seeing her dazed again. "Cough, Miss An."
An, flustered, blurted out while pointing at Yasenia. "You! Don't you have self-awareness!? Who mo-moans like that all of a sudden!? Miss Kali! Take the lead, please! Your wife will get into trouble the second someone hears her speak!"
Kali, who had been wearing her veil until now, took it off and smiled. "Sure. I'll do so."
An paused and looked at Kali with widened eyes. "W-What happened?"
Kali blinked and realized. "Oh. Well, they are old scars. Hahaha. Don't worry, Miss An. Everything is in the past."
An nodded and didn't ask further. 'Wow… Whoever did that must've hated her to the bone. Also…' An looked at Yasenia with different eyes. 'And she… even when Miss Kali looks like that, she got into a sincere relationship with her?'
Kali approached Yasenia and tiptoed while placing her own veil on the dragoness. "Here, love. I will be the one talking from now on, okay? If you want anything, send me a spiritual message."
Yasenia's face was covered from below the eyes and to her neck. That left the wide cleavage of her dress quite visible. Therefore, Kali asked. "Love, can you change into a more modest dress?"
The dragoness looked down and nodded. "Sure." Then, she waved her hand, and her dress changed into a beautiful and elegant blue dress with a transparent light blue floaty ribbon.
Her temperament wholly changed into a mature and elegant female cultivator with a pair of gorgeous golden slit eyes and mysterious long black hair. Not even her hands showed, as her long sleeves covered everything.
An was baffled at the instant change in temperament. "If you could've looked this way all the time, why didn't you?"
Yasenia spoke softly, adding to the etherealness of her current outfit. "You are not reacting because you've seen my other dress. If you saw me wearing this from the start, you would've asked me to change into something more modest either way." Yasenia's golden eyes moved, gazing at An and making her freeze from the charm they radiated. "My charm is not so easy to hide, Miss An."
An couldn't help but gulp. 'Damn this woman, was she thrown into a cauldron filled with charm-increasing substances when she was a child!?'
