Luan Feixue thought she was hallucinating. The feeling enveloping her was so familiar, and she had even dreamt of it before. So, for a moment, she feared that she had fallen into some kind of illusion.
However, the scent of her Master was something she knew was irreplicable. It was a scent that could awaken something primal in the purest nun of an isolated church. Luan Feixue turned around, her veiled hat covering the tall woman's face.
But it didn't matter, after all. What she could see were two white mountains and a seductive blue dress that made it look as if those soft peaks would escape their bindings in the next second. In Luan Feixue's memory, there was only one woman with such an explosive body.
Looking up, she saw her master's unparalleled face smiling at her. Her golden slit eyes, warm like the setting sun and soft like those of a mother, made Luan Feixue's eyes sting as her nose soured.
"M-Master?"
Yasenia took off her veiled hat, and then she placed both her hands on her face. "Who else can I be, Little Feixue? Did you forget your master's face after so many years apart?"
Luan Feixue's eyes widened, and then she threw herself into Yasenia's arms. "Master! I missed you so much!"
Yasenia embraced the girl in her arms and used her long tail to pat her head. Rubbing the top of her disciple's head with her cheek, Yasenia spoke gently. "I missed you too, little one. Sorry, I couldn't find you earlier."
Luan Feixue was the human woman with the beast contract. Yasenia never cut it, as she didn't find it necessary, and Luan Feixue naturally kept it on her side.
Seeing the girl rub her head on her neck while crying, Yasenia took a step and moved them into a nearby inn. She moved toward a bed with the girl in her arms and placed her on her lap. "There, there. I am back now. No one can bully you anymore."
Luan Feixue nodded and hugged Yasenia tightly, relishing in her scent and softness.
While Luan Feixue relaxed, the three seniors appeared in the room and glanced at Luan Feixue with interest. Ao Xianlan, her head almost touching the ceiling, asked with curiosity. "Is this your disciple, Little Yasenia?"
"Hm?" Luan Feixue blinked and turned to look at the new arrivals. Once she did, her brain blanked out.
She had always thought that her master's… peaks were unparalleled under the Heaven, but she was now witness to a body so curvy that it made Yasenia look slender in comparison. Ao Xianlan noticed Luan Feixue's gaze and chuckled. "This human girl is so cute~."
"Since she likes Little Treasure so much, I guess it is all right."
The elegant, noble voice caught Luan Feixue's attention, and her eyes moved to the second individual. Her brain crashed again.
'Empress.'
That single word flashed in her mind when she glanced at Tatyana. The woman had unparalleled elegance and violently gorgeous facial features. A single disdainful gaze of hers had the weight of a thousand insults, while her aura seemed able to command everything around her.
Even in casual clothes, Luan Feixue could instantly see through Tatyana's essence, as she was basically radiating magnificence.
"Her talent is not bad, but sadly, she has zero compatibility with seduction arts."
The third voice made Luan Feixue's every single cell tingle. Even before she looked over, Luan Feixue was prepared to see a ruinous beauty that could put men and women alike down to their knees with a single smile.
But when she looked, she was stupefied once again. The woman whom she had expected to be an unparalleled beauty was… ordinary. A face without flaws, but so common that one would probably forget it after a single glance.
Her gaze moved back and forth between the explosive, elegant, and ordinary women as she struggled to understand what they were doing here.
Yasenia could've clarified, but Luan Feixue's expressions were so cute that she couldn't help but observe. "Little Feixue, you need to properly greet seniors when you see them."
It was only then that Luan Feixue remembered she was nestled in Yasenia's arms like a big baby. Her face flushed up to her ears, and she quickly jumped out of the comfortable embrace.
"S-Seniors, sorry for my late greetings! I am Luan Feixue, Master's disciple!"
Ao Xianlan leaned down slightly to pat her head, only magnifying the two swaying mountains that almost gave Luan Feixue a nosebleed. "Good girl. Since you are Little Yasenia's disciple, I can be called your grandaunt. Tell me if you need something or if someone bullies you, and Grandaunt Xianlan will give them a good beating."
Luan Feixue squeaked. "T-Thank you, Grandaunt Xianlan!"
Tatyana chuckled. "Since I am Yasenia's mother, I guess you can call me Senior Lady…" Tatyana paused and frowned. "Forget that. It makes me sound too old. Just call me Lady Tatyana."
Luan Feixue almost jumped. 'M-M-Mother!? She is Master's mother!?' But looking closer, she quickly accepted it. 'No wonder Master is drop-dead gorgeous. Her mother's beauty is unparalleled!'
"Y-Yes, Lady Tatyana!"
"I am your Master's Master, so you usually would call me grandmaster. Sadly, this grandmaster can't teach you much other than some defensive techniques. I hope you aren't sad because of that."
Lady First's words made Luan Feixue's respect soar to the sky for the four-winged, ordinary-looking woman. "G-Grandmaster! Feixue will be happy with whatever you teach me!"
Lady First smiled faintly and nodded. That faint smile made Luan Feixue's face puff red. 'W-Why is she suddenly so attractive!? Ugh… I can feel my heart jumping like a little deer!'
The smile was fleeting, though. So Feixue quickly regained her composure.
Yasenia chuckled and used her tail to grab Feixue by the waist and place her on her lap again, squeezing her like a plushie. "Alright, Little Feixue, how about you tell me how you spent the last few years?"
Feixue blushed, not feeling nice with the senior standing while she sat… sat… Feixue blinked and saw that, at some point, a table had appeared in front of them, and they were sitting with a teacup in front of each of them.
"Here, drink this." Lady First pushed the cup to Luan Feixue, who quickly accepted it with thanks and took a sip.
A second later, Luan Feixue's aura exploded.
BOOM!
She broke through from the Seventh Level of the Unification Realm to the Ninth in a single leap. Moreover, the breakthrough was extremely gentle, causing no drawbacks at all. The girl's expression and posture solidified in her drinking motion.
'W-What just happened? I broke through? Huh? Huh?'
None of the seniors were surprised. After all, the tea was a Supreme Ranked tea concocted with a Seventh Realm tree's leaves and diluted so that Luan Feixue could take it.
This kind of tea, for mortals, was nothing but a miraculous elixir. Of course, the effect was a one-time thing. Even if Feixue drank 10 more cups, her cultivation progress wouldn't budge much.
Yasenia looked at Feixue's pores pushing out impurities and nodded with a smile. "Go bathe and come back later. The bath is there."
Feixue looked down at herself, and her stunned expression quickly became red. Using her quickest speed, Luan Feixue disappeared from the room.
Yasenia laughed and waved her hand, dispersing all the foul odors and fluids. Lady First spoke at this time, confused. "Little Yasenia, I do not want to sound harsh, but… Why did you choose her? Her talent is…"
Yasenia ended the sentence with a smile. "Mediocre?"
Lady First nodded. She didn't want to bash Yasenia's disciple, but Luan Feixue's talent was indeed far from being considered a genius in the higher continents. Ao Xianlan was also curious, so Yasenia recounted her life in the Blue Pearl World from her arrival.
Since she trusted Ao Xianlan like family and Lady First like her master, there was nothing to hide. After making a quick recap, Ao Xianlan and Lady First frowned.
Lady First spoke unhappily. "That Star Immortal Sect… They sent you to fight Abyss creatures while pregnant?" Her succubus tail smacked the ground, somewhat angered.
Ao Xianlan's eyes narrowed for another matter. "Also… You've been cursed to be hated by that Tai Qingzhe's bloodline? While I understand why you don't want to tell me who the bloodline owner is due to deeper implications… Are you sure you don't want me to flatten them?"
Yasenia felt that if she didn't say anything soon, these two would truly make them disappear. She coughed and smiled. "Forget about them. They are not really important, and that fight allowed me to understand some things. So, I am not resentful anymore. Not to mention, my existence caused the sect to dismantle, so I think that's enough punishment."
The two seniors relaxed while Tatyana took a sip of the tea calmly. "Returning to Luan Feixue's subject. What are your intentions with her, Little Treasure?"
"Hm?" Yasenia blinked and spoke honestly. "Teach her, take care of her, and then hope that she does well in her journeys. She is in this Mortal Empire for revenge, most likely. Once she takes it, as she said when we saw her, her ties will be cut with this mortal place. So, I'll just teach her and give her good resources while I learn from Master."
Lady First spoke. "That reminds me. Here is your first test."
Yasenia turned to look in curiosity, and Lady First spoke lightly. "Try to suppress your charm to the point that mortals don't gawk at you."
"..." Yasenia felt as if someone forced her to eat a mouthful of rotten meat. "...Isn't that impossible, Master? Even if I hide all my charm…" She looked down and used her two hands to lift the heavy weapons on her chest. "They can't not look at these."
Lady First glanced at Yasenia's body and took a sip calmly. "That doesn't change anything. If it were easy, it wouldn't be a test. Also, you can't hide your body. You must wear your usual blue dress."
Yasenia looked at Lady First blankly and then glanced at Ao Xianlan and Tatyana for help. The two women smiled benevolently at her.
"Good luck, Little Yasenia."
"You can…not do it. Probably. But try your best, Little Treasure."
Yasenia's eyes glazed over.
"Huh? Master? Are you okay?" Luan Feixue moved toward Yasenia, somewhat flustered. Her Master now looked as if the world was about to collapse!
Yasenia turned to look at her pretty disciple and squeezed her in a hug. She complained, rubbing her face with Feixue's. "Only you are good to me, Little Feixue."
"Eh? Eh? Eh?" Feixue blinked, unable to comprehend.
The woman, smushed in her master's seductive body, could only squirm in happiness as Yasenia's scent permeated her entire being. 'Hehehe~, Master's arms are so comfy~.'
