บท 1035: Chapter 1035. Deal with Sect Master Violet.
The Sect Master of the [Thirteen Rose Thorn Sect] didn't know how to react to Tatyana's outburst. 'But… 20? Is her shamelessness her strongest quality or something? If someone at her level of strength is twenty years old, I might as well bow down to them and ask for the secrets of the universe!'
Tatyana laughed. "No need to answer, Sect Master Violet. You asked how confident I am in tinkering with those formations, right?" Tatyana pondered. "If there was no one looking, I am quite confident that I can do so with relative ease. However, if there are guards, that will be impossible, as you say."
Violet's eyebrows raised quite noticeably for the first time. "Have you seen the formations? How are you so confident?"
Tatyana winked her eye playfully. "I have my methods."
Yasenia coughed. "Senior Violet. If we went to [Ruin World City] to get the permits, would you mind accompanying us? We don't want any problems."
Violet smiled. "It's not that complicated. Just send someone who would not catch the attention of those people, and you won't have a problem."
Yasenia blinked and asked. "Doesn't each person need a pass?"
Violet shook her head. "Not at all. The organizations need a pass that they can share. For example, you would need to get one for your sect and then share it."
The dragoness frowned. "So… What stops you from giving us a pass? Could we use your sect's pass?"
Violet smiled. "It's not impossible, but I want compensation~."
Yasenia raised her eyebrow. "Oh? Shoot the offer. I don't mind paying a little extra if I can avoid going to that city."
Dandan blinked and asked. "You are really determined not to visit the place. Any reason?"
Yasenia answered faintly. "Each time I visit a city, I catch the eye of some big shot and end up changing the whole city's internal structure so that I don't get bothered. I don't want to do the same again."
When Yasenia said that, Tatyana and Valeria looked at her with raised eyebrows. 'Oh? She made a mistake revealing that.'
Dandan laughed. "You are exaggerating!"
Yasenia looked at her and smiled, not answering her exclamation. Instead, she looked back at Violet and commented. "So, what are your terms, Senior Violet?"
Violet placed her arms behind her back and commented. "My terms are simple. I want twenty percent of the value of whatever you find inside."
Yasenia burst into laughter. "That's a great joke, Senior. Would you prefer it if I gave you half?"
Violet looked at Yasenia and raised an eyebrow. "I am not joking."
The dragoness looked at Violet strangely. "That price is outrageous, Senior Violet. You are asking us to give you one out of every five treasures that we find."
Violet shrugged. "You made a mistake. You showed me how much you are against visiting the [Ruin World City]. If I don't take advantage of it, can I even call myself a cultivator?"
The dragoness paused and realized her blunder. She frowned and sighed. 'I relaxed too much… Sigh. Well, no one is perfect. Still, this mistake is too… ugh.'
Yasenia rubbed her forehead and commented. "A counter-offer. I give you five percent of the value of things I find, which I still find too much. Then, I will also show you my dragon form."
Violet blinked twice. "Do you really think that your dragon form is worth that much?"
Yasenia leaned back and tilted her head. "Perhaps." Then, she smiled. "Your Dandan is quite eager to see it, though. It would be a shame if she never saw it in her life."
Violet glanced at Dandan, making her hiccup. Dandan cleared her throat and proceeded to ramble. "U-Um, Sect Master! Look at Little Sister Yasenia's tail! Can you imagine a whole dragon made of those scales!? Wouldn't it be the prettiest dragon you've ever seen!?"
Violet looked at Yasenia's moving tail and couldn't help but recognize that, indeed, she was curious. Dragons were a very rare species. More so, a dragon that wasn't holed up in their birth planet.
While many dragons had a lot of strength, Star Beasts were a real threat that not even they took lightly. So, instead of flying around a forsaken place, since they could grow as long as they were in a world, they just stayed there and lived with their Worlds. Their very long, natural lives also encouraged them to be patient and just grow old together with the world in which they resided.
On some planets, there were dragons even more ancient than the Heavens governing those worlds.
Violet crossed her arms and sighed. "Dandan, when are you going to grow up? You keep acting childish even after all these years."
Dandan pouted. "B-But, Aunty!" Receiving a glare from Violet, Dandan hiccuped again and corrected herself. "I-I meant, Sect Master!"
Yasenia blinked and smiled, giving Violet a grin. "It seems that both of us have committed a mistake~."
Violet rolled her eyes. "Okay, okay. I don't want to share what you find. Instead, I want to go with you. It is clear that you are not simple, so I feel that I will earn quite a few interesting things if I follow you into that place."
The dragoness pondered. "I agree. I want to ask a question, though."
Violet tilted her head, and Yasenia asked. "Are you Senior Brother Zhang's Master?"
Zhang Dalong, standing at the side, blinked twice, not knowing how or why his name came up in the conversation. Violet was also puzzled, but she answered honestly. "I am indeed his Master. Why?"
Yasenia smiled faintly. "A master that can grow a golden-hearted man like him can't be bad. That's all."
Violet raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Dalong with a smirk. Then, she suggested. "If you like him so much, how about an alliance based on marriage? I am sure our Zhang would be elated to have someone like you as his wife."
Zhang Dalong coughed and stuttered. "D-Don't mess around, Sect Master. With Junior Sister Yasenia's beauty, I am sure that she already has someone."
Yasenia stood up and nodded. "Indeed. I am already paired, sadly." Zhang Dalong looked a little bit disappointed, but he already expected it. So he cheered up quickly. Yasenia smiled at him. "If the situation were different, I would've thought about that offer positively."
Zhang Dalong was not incredibly handsome or anything. However, as Yasenia saw him, he had a really good heart and an honest and straightforward personality. He was someone simple and serious, someone who probably would treat his partner with the same care and seriousness.
Zhang Dalong shook his head. "No need to be considerate, Junior Sister Yasenia."
Violet commented. "Okay, then let's go to those ruins-."
"Sect Master!" Dandan jumped and looked at Yasenia. "Dragon form!"
Yasenia had a soft spot for these types of cute and pure girls, so she couldn't help but pat her head and smile. "Okay, okay."
Cecile looked at Yasenia and asked her via mental communication. "Which one are you going to show?"
Yasenia hummed. "The bigger one. These people feel very trustworthy. If I show greatness, they will take me more seriously. Since we need to slowly expand outward, having an interstellar ally is a good way to set foot into the unknown."
The others also received Yasenia's thoughts as she communicated her plans to everyone. Coraline commented. "When gaining allies, we gain enemies as well."
Yasenia smiled as she stood at the edge of the ship and gathered energy. "We do gain enemies, but if a Sect has the leisure to send their Sect Master with a few elders to explore a forsaken planet in a Nebula, I am sure that they are not weak in the slightest. Not to mention, the Grand Elder gave up after a few trades with her. This means that it was more of a fake fight than anything."
One of Distancia's leaders asked, confused. "How so?"
Yasenia explained. "The Grand Elder's family got killed. Even if it was legitimate, the Grand Elder can't do nothing about it, or they will be taken as weak and will lose respect. Therefore, he battled with Senior Violet for a while to show everyone that he cared. However, this time around, the other side was just too strong and, therefore, he had no other option but to forgive."
The people who hadn't realized the intricacies couldn't help but widen their eyes. 'No wonder this dragon managed to stomp our Continent…'
"[Empyrean Cosmos True Dragon Transformation]."
Andrea blinked. 'True? So, she has changed the name of the skill for when she transforms with Cosmic Energy…'
Those who were close to Yasenia realized that small change and looked at Yasenia with interest.
Violet and the other twelve saw Yasenia jump from the warship, and the energy of the cosmos rushed at the dragoness. Then, in just a few instants, the body of the dragoness expanded and grew until it reached the colossal size of thirty kilometers in length and wingspan.
This time, Violet's eyes widened with disbelief. She looked around at the people with Yasenia, trying to see if they were also surprised. However, seeing their calm expression, Violet realized that they already knew, making her heart shake. 'Are Gu Chen and Ayanduin really the leaders?'
"WOOHOOO!!!"
Dandan's shout snapped Violet out of her thoughts.
"YOU ARE SOO BIGGG!!"
Yasenia lowered her head while turning so that her golden eye could look straight at them. Seeing the gargantuan golden eye, the people from the Rose Thorn Sect couldn't help but tense. Then, Yasenia's ethereal voice reached them. "Well, this is my dragon form. Do you like it?"
Dandan jumped up and down like a little girl. "I love it! I love it! You look so awesome!"
Violet looked at Yasenia deeply and asked. "Yasenia, can you be truthful with me?"
Yasenia's enormous pupil shifted slightly, looking straight at Violet. "About what, Senior Violet?"
Violet asked. "Are you a Star Beast that has taken human form?"
The other twelve from Violet's sect paused for a second and had their hearts thump strongly. If that was the case, they might've met with the first Star Beast that had managed to become a humanoid! This was unprecedented!
Yasenia's lips arched. "Star Beasts can't transform, Sect Master Violet. I am not a Star Beast."
Violet frowned. "But, you are absorbing Cosmic Energy. That's something only Star Beasts can do."
Yasenia nodded and commented. "You are right. However, I can say with full confidence that I am not a Star Beast. I am similar to one as I am right now. However, I am not a pure Star Beast."
Violet looked at the massive golden reptilian eye in front of her for a few seconds, and she eventually nodded. "Understood. I'll trust you."
Yasenia commented. "Now, let's go to the ruins."
Violet commented. "Before that, transform back. If you appear there with this form, you'll be hunted down."
