Young Master Dan quickly burst into Yasenia's room. Since he heard the battle sounds from the killing formation, his heart was drumming with fear that the aftershocks would kill the weak dragon girl.
"Ainesay! Are you okay?"
When he entered, Young Master Dan froze, looking at the woman sitting by the window. He had thought that he would find Yasenia trembling and pale-faced, but instead, she was glancing out of the window with a serene expression. In that calmness, though, Young Master Dan seemed to feel a hint of yearning.
'Yearning?' His gaze moved toward the empyrean dragon tail that shone with starlight, and he understood. 'While she is a mortal, she is also from a draconic lineage.'
This hidden look made Young Master Dan look at Yasenia as something more than a wife. It felt as if he could build a future with her, and she would lead the Dan State properly.
"Ainesay." He approached, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Once we heal your voice, we'll search for ways to advance your cultivation. Don't worry."
Yasenia's golden slit eyes moved toward Young Master Dan, and she showed a faint smile. However, he noticed a strange hollowness in her eyes. Quite clearly, the dragon woman had given up in this regard.
'Sigh, Heaven is probably jealous of her beauty and restricted her strength. I guess that's her curse. She will be like a firework—gorgeous yet fleeting.'
"Come with me. My sleeping quarters are safer than this area."
Yasenia stood up elegantly, her tall frame surpassing Young Master Dan by a lot. The reason was the high heels that some maids gave her. Right now, Yasenia was quite literally a head taller than Young Master Dan.
When they walked outside, Yasenia took a silent breath and focused. 'Dissipate. Become like morning fog. Make your appearance look illusory, but never tangible enough to make others yearn for it.'
Her Dual Cultivation technique activated, and immortal energy flowed through her body, mixing with her aura. As they walked together, other than Young Master Dan and the others who had already been affected by Yasenia's charm, no one bothered looking at Yasenia.
Those with the sharpest senses still glanced over once, only to frown when they looked at Yasenia. They could tell that the woman was beautiful, but… that was all. There was not a heart-pounding sensation, no feeling of having their souls being stolen… It was as if Yasenia were a gorgeous statue.
People could appreciate her celestial looks, but they were not affected by them.
However, this was not easy for Yasenia. As she walked a step behind Young Master Dan, her forehead started perspiring lightly, and her mind burned from the effort. Even her very soul was strained, trying to contain the monstrous natural beauty from causing even the slightest ripple.
Her expression didn't change, but her lips tightened very lightly, becoming a thin line.
Lady First looked at her and nodded. "That's it. You managed to achieve a state that will snuff out your charm's natural effects. However, you are straining yourself a lot. Unless you can do this as naturally as breathing, I won't give you the pass."
Yasenia gritted her teeth. 'As naturally as breathing? You are asking the impossible, Master! This feels like trying to contain a primordial beast from breaking through its seal!'
Lady First chuckled lightly. "If it were something easy to do, I wouldn't be teaching it to you. I shared the method and even offered a little advice. When you manage to enter the state of [Charm Dispersal], you can be considered to have taken the first step toward mastering your beauty."
Yasenia wanted to bite someone, her teeth itching. Tatyana, as if reading her mind, quickly appeared before her and extended her fair, soft, and elegant neck. Her red eyes were blinking flirtatiously, as if provoking her.
Yasenia almost lost reason and pounced. Thankfully, her will was incredibly sturdy.
'Mom! You are not helping!'
Hearing Yasenia's scolding, Tatyana chuckled and stopped teasing her, hugging her arm with a smile. "You are doing great, Little Treasure. What are the plans next?"
Yasenia, while trying her best to keep her body from trembling from the strain, answered with a light tremor in her voice. 'W-We wait. Now, Young Master Dan will most likely try to imprison me in his place. However, after Ancestor Dan's death in the Prince Duke state, Emperor Dan will be furious. To get back and also take revenge for Young Master Dan slapping Princess Dan, he will send an imperial edict and take me away from him.'
Yasenia chuckled. 'Once that happens, the conflict will escalate. I will officially become the beauty that launched a thousand ships and sparked the war. With Luan Feixue's strength, she now only needs to assassinate important figures and muddy the waters further.'
After pondering a few seconds more, Yasenia smirked coldly. 'This empire has less than two years left before it collapses. All the underlying problems that Ancestor Dan's existence was suppressing will now explode like a volcanic eruption. Without Fifth Realm experts… everyone is on the same playing field.'
The other three were far from not understanding the state of this. While their immortality made them sometimes predict a mortal's thinking methods erroneously, that didn't mean they could escape their overall plotting.
Ao Xianlan chuckled. "So, Emperor Dan will attempt to break through in two years and die. Once he dies, the last hope for the Dan Family will be snuffed out. Moreover…" Ao Xianlan looked in the direction of the palace, her eyes piercing through everything and landing on the Fate Pearl. "With the pearl now black-colored, it will further influence Emperor Dan toward his own demise."
Tatyana sneered. "Reading your own fate is the fastest way toward demise. Once you stop trying to manipulate the future and instead focus on taking control of your present, you will be free of chains."
Ao Xianlan glanced at her and asked softly. "Speaking from experience?"
Tatyana nodded and spoke nonchalantly. "There was a time I thought myself invincible after I learned to read the future. Sadly, the only result at the end of it all was the death of everything around me except myself."
Yasenia looked at Tatyana. She had heard about this in the past, but she still felt her heart prickle when listening to her mother's tragic past. Knowing that the mortals around wouldn't be able to discern her true actions, Yasenia leaned over and hugged Tatyana.
With our dragoness standing in high heels, Tatyana's face was perfectly aligned with the middle of Yasenia's breasts. Her face was soon enveloped in their expansive softness.
After that day, everything moved like Yasenia predicted.
Young Master Dan placed her under "house arrest" with the excuse of "protecting" her.
Princess Dan complained to Emperor Dan until the man's ears almost fell off.
Yasenia was escorted to the palace, and Young Master Dan's heart twisted entirely.
Princess Dan and Young Master Dan began fighting against each other covertly and directly.
The conflicts sparked rivalry, conflicts, and disagreements between all Dan Family branches.
Luan Feixue, taking advantage of the hidden attacks, assassinated some people close to them. These crimes, naturally, fell on Princess Dan and Young Master Dan's heads. While no one openly "revealed" their true face, they "knew" that it was done by them.
Meanwhile, the two culprits thought the other side was being ruthless and sacrificing their own people to frame each other.
Their minds, lost in their obsession and love for Yasenia, had reached a point of no return. Right now, they would probably kill their own parents if it meant Yasenia would belong to them in the end.
Emperor Dan, suffering from Princess Dan's actions, was cornered by some officials. Without the "absolute power" Ancestor Dan previously represented, he was much more vulnerable and even received a few assassination attempts.
He was strong at a personal level, but those assassinations Luan Feixue participated in became too close for comfort. After all, Luan Feixue was holding back. If she wanted, taking Emperor Dan's head during some of the assassinations was not a problem.
However, Luan Feixue didn't want the Emperor's head; she wanted the entire Dan Family to collapse.
And so, the fated day arrived when Emperor Dan decided to break through in secret. Of course, this "secret" leaked to everyone who should not have known about it.
Luan Feixue, now at the Half-step Unification Realm level, stood on a hill with an expressionless face. She glanced at Emperor Dan, whose aura had already exploded to challenge the Heavenly Tribulation, and she smiled coldly. "Two years and you finally decide to take the last step toward your doom."
Yasenia, "imprisoned" in a room created by Princess Dan, glanced at everything occurring in the distance while calmly sipping tea. Tatyana was resting on her plump thighs, her head sinking into her incredibly soft body.
"Sigh… Your legs are the best pillows."
Yasenia smiled, amused. "Now's not the time to make those comments."
Tatyana snorted, a bit annoyed. "When is it then? That crazy princess will come in…"
BANG!
Princess Dan opened the door, her eyes looked at Yasenia like two black whirlpools. "Ainesay…" She walked over, her clothes instantly disappearing.
Yasenia glanced at the woman and extended her foot toward her. "Lick and get done quickly. I am drinking tea."
Princess Dan pounced toward Yasenia's foot, hugging her leg as if she were an addict getting her prized release. The second Princess Dan licked Yasenia's sole, a beastly groan escaped her. "MMMM!"
The woman instantly climaxed, her body convulsing as if she were being electrocuted while all types of fluids poured out between her legs. Yasenia looked down indifferently, her golden eyes cold and emotionless.
Ao Xianlan rested her chin on her palm, her elbow leaning on her knee. "Say, Little Yasenia, why do you allow her to lick your feet?"
Yasenia spoke, no longer caring to hide that she could speak. After all, Princess Dan was too far gone to care about anything else. "She has helped my Little Feixue push her own Dan Family into the abyss of no return. At least, before she dies, I can give her one last reward." Looking down, she smiled coldly. "Right, Princess Dan? Licking my foot in exchange for the destruction of your family is not a bad exchange. It's a worthy deal, isn't it?"
Princess Dan nodded crazily, placing Yasenia's toes in her mouth as she widely fingered herself like she wanted to destroy her entrance. "Yes! Yes! Thank you for allowing this scum of the world to lick your sacred foot! Ah! Ah! AHHHHH!"
Yasenia kicked the woman down, stood up, and stomped on Princess Dan's chest. "I'll give you your last release. Have a nice journey to the underworld."
Then, while Princess Dan's wide-open eyes locked between Yasenia's legs, Yasenia slipped her panties to the side with her finger. Thanks to the short frontal skirt, that gesture revealed her intimate part to the woman she was stomping on.
"O-OHHH!"
Princess Dan released a bestial scream, only to become perfectly still in the next second. That single glimpse of Yasenia's sacred place caused her soul to explode, her body spewing all of her fluids as she died. Even her nose burst with blood as her eyes cried tears of blood.
Even without a soul, the lingering electrical signals made the woman convulse for over 10 minutes before she stopped.
Yasenia stretched lightly, not caring for the convulsing corpse by her feet. "With Princess Dan dead and the Emperor dying to his tribulation, this coincidence will make it quite clear whose scheme it was." Her gaze moved toward Young Master Dan in the distance, and she smiled coldly with her seductive face. "I hope you like my last present, Young Master Dan."
Tatyana clenched her thighs, her cheeks blushing. 'Fuck me, that was so hot.'
