Chapter 228

Yasenia frowned and asked the general, "Sir, How many waves are left?"

Even if she wasn't scared or tired, she was beginning to worry about her dears. Although Yasenia knew they were strong, this didn't mean our pampering dragoness would relax. Her heart will always flutter with worry toward her precious darlings. Yasenia would be happy if she could keep them in her pocket and protect them, but she knew that they wouldn't want that. She perfectly knew how much effort they put into cultivation in order to not be left behind by her.

Yasenia was extremely grateful to Tatyana for giving her the [Celestial Maiden Ascends To The Heavens] dual cultivation technique. Without it, it would have been impossible for her dears to keep up with her nonsensical growth.

The general was extremely relaxed as Yasenia was like an overwhelming force of nature. She eliminated everything without flinching! "Lady Hero! Two more waves, and this will end!

Yasenia frowned even more. 'The last wave will have 35 strong people, with the strongest enemy at the eighth level of the Mental Nourishing Realm?'

A flash of worry flashed through her golden slit eyes, 'That isn't a small force. Will they be okay?'

Yasenia looked on to the approaching 1 000 people. As she expected, in this seventh wave, there were 30 strong people—the strongest in the Seventh level.

Moreover, the rest of the army was in the seventh level of the Body Modification realm, much stronger than their initial first level during the first wave.

Yasenia calculated the amount of energy consumption and nodded. 'I can use [Celestial Dress] for the rest of the battle.'

Even if the [Celestial Dress] was powerful, it consumed a lot of energy. So she was reluctant to use it at the beginning of this prolonged battle.

But now that only two waves were left, Yasenia was full of confidence. Yasenia closed her eyes and chanted, her voice as imposing as the midday Sun!

"[Celestial Dress]."

Yasenia became the center of a silver, golden, and white energy vortex. Her aura swelled, and a tight-fitting white dress covered her body with golden and silver decorations. The dress had a very long trail, and each side of the skirt was adorned with the image of a crescent moon and Sun. Her long and wide sleeves were decorated with an extremely intricate golden and silver eastern dragon.

The white dress glittered like the stars in the night sky, giving her an empyreal beauty that stole everyone's breath away. Even her enemies looked at her stupidly.

Yasenia opened her golden eyes and looked at the army with indifference. Then, she stomped the ground, and she disappeared from the eyesight of every single person.

*BANG!*

People didn't know when Yasenia collided with the army, blasting the front line flying as if they were rag dolls in front of an unstoppable force. The 30 powerful cultivators reacted instantly and ran toward her, and Yasenia prepared her giant sword.

The first one arrived, slashing toward Yasenia. Yasenia gently swung her giant sword toward the sixth-level cultivator.

Weapons collided, and the cultivator saw with wide eyes as Yasenia's sword shattered his sword and smashed into his body. The raw energy in the slash made his body burst into a bloody mist.

Right after, another cultivator approached from Yasenia's back, taking advantage of her current position to slash her back. But he was so focused on the giant sword that he forgot about the long and beautiful tail behind her. Yasenia didn't even looked at him as her tail lashed like a whip toward his chest in the blunt form.

*BANG!*

The cultivator's chest sunk in, and his back burst open because of the dragoness's tyrannical strength, spilling all his organs through his back. His companions that were about to do follow-ups to his attack became horrified as their companion was literally splattered all over them.

Then, Yasenia flashed around and destroyed every single one with a single sword or tail swing. Not even the eighth-level cultivator could resist a single attack from her.

After two minutes of killing, Yasenia appeared in the middle of the surviving army and pointed her sword to the sky and channeling [Starfall] around her. All the white balls ballooned to a horrifying two meters in width and exploded in the surroundings.

Shouts of pain and death filled the canyon as the stars exploded around one after another in a deadly cacophony led by Yasenia's will.

Angel had some of her golems destroyed in this round, and she had to join the battle herself. However, she received no injury and was able to pass the round, with the fortress receiving minimal damage. Angel was confident in overcoming the last round if she used her resources cleverly.

Kali didn't have any problems since prolonged battles were her specialty. The whole canyon was covered with man-eating plants, dryads, and treats. Her poisonous thorns were falling into the army like nets, infecting everyone with deadly substances. To fight the strong cultivators, she sent a single treant filled with poisonous spores, and then using [Overgrowth], she exploded it in a deadly combo. In the caste that someone survived, Valeria would take care of them. For Kali, this trial was like a walk in the park.

Sarah didn't have many problems because she followed the system's advice. The only problem she had was that she was feeling numb all over her body after killing so many people. However, the system came to the rescue, explaining to her that this was just like virtual reality and all these people were like NPCs. This helped Sarah's psyche a lot, and she gathered her courage to keep going on. Sarah didn't even doubt the system's words for the sake of her sanity.

Then, the last round began.

Yasenia and Kali passed it without any trouble. Sarah became somewhat injured after receiving the strikes from the 35-strong cultivators. She also took her time beating them, and the rest of the army managed to destroy a big part of the fortress, killing more than 200 allies.

Angel had to tackle the last wave carefully. The cultivators were able to damage her golems greatly, so she had to fight in the front line, fighting against the most powerful cultivators. However, Angel had become extremely deft in melee combat. Her shield skills were high, and she was able to face off against them with expertise, all thanks to Selena's teaching. Angel couldn't help but smile gratefully, thinking about her beautiful, red lamia maid.

With clever use of her shield and lasers, she eventually beat them. She also used her [Golem Explosion] and [Glass Mine Field] skills to take some of them by surprise and blast them into pieces. Thanks to the extra protection she gave the fortress, it was basically intact, with only 20 dead people by the end of the final round. However, her energy was almost depleted. Angel calculated that she could have only held on for one more wave.

Yasenia and the rest heard the old man's voice in their heads. 'Congratulations, you beat the twenty-sixth monolith.'

A strange energy surged from the surroundings and lodged into their dantian. They didn't like this forceful implementation because the dantian was an extremely delicate area for the cultivator. Without a heart or a brain, the cultivator had a chance of survival. But if the dantian was damaged, it spelled certain doom.

Still, they couldn't do anything as that energy bypassed their defenses and rested inside their dantian. The white energy ball transformed and became a number, in their case, a three hundred. It was clear that this strange energy was the Trial Points.

Suddenly, Yasenia saw the [Celestial Pear] rotating, and that three hundred began being sucked toward it. Yasenia was startled and commanded it to stop hastily. 'You can't eat that! I don't mind you absorbing the surrounding energy, but that one is special, and I need it to buy things.'

The [Celestial Pearl] was a treasure naturally born from Heaven and Earth. Hence it could understand Yasenia's words. It obediently stopped moving and became inactive again. Yasenia sighed with relief.

Then, Yasenia, Kali, and Angel got the extra rewards. It was a low-level earth-grade attack talisman that could summon a lightning strike. It was neither good nor bad. Its attack strength was similar to the first lightning strike of the Heaven Gate, so it was honestly quite useless for them.

Then, their bodies flashed, and they appeared outside. Yasenia hastily looked at them and saw Kali and Angel alive and well; her anxious heart relaxed. She observed and saw only some light wounds on Angel, but the Monolith healed her so fast that she almost couldn't see them. 'Even if I know that they've gotten much more stronger, I can't help but worry.'

Angel was weary since she spent most of her energy, so she walked like a zombie into Yasenia's embrace and buried her face in her breast. "I'm tired~."

Yasenia didn't delay and picked her up, kissing her cheek. "You've done well, baby. I'm really proud of you."

"Yay~! Yasenia praised me~." Angel smiled sweetly and hugged Yasenia tighter, burying her little face in Yasenia's neck. She loved hugging her like this because their breasts squished together, and she felt safe in this position.

Yasenia then interlocked her tail with Kali's soft and big fox tail and smiled at her, "You have surprised me, honey. You are not only not tired but also uninjured."

Kali hugged her arm, and her tail wagged, moving Yasenia's tail with it. Yasenia laughed, feeling her tail movements. 'So cute~!' It was at this moment that Yasenia learned about the wonders of the wagging tail.

Then she turned toward the injured Sarah and said, "Good job surviving. Let's go to another place, even if this one is not that hard. It takes too much time to complete. We need to gather points if we want to buy the pill recipes and other things."

Sarah couldn't help but feel bitter; the difference in treatment was too different. Still, she didn't say anything, as Kali and Angel were Yasenia's lovers, and she was basically a stranger.

They went toward a restaurant and rested there for a little while. After confirming that it was safe, Yasenia tasted the food there. Her golden eyes widened with wonder as she found the food delicious, so she asked about the ingredients.

The waitress was completely charmed by the dragoness, so she even invited her into the kitchen. The cooks were about to scold her for bringing someone, but their voices got stuck in their throats as the seductive dragoness sashayed her way in. Yasenia smiled at them and put forth her demands. One of the cooks left his post and guided Yasenia through each ingredient.

It seemed that they could also buy things from the restaurant, so Yasenia began bargaining with them. A little bit of temptation and slight skinship made the man cave in and sell items almost at market price. He was barely making any profit selling things to Yasenia. Still, the happy smile on Yasenia's face seemed to make it worth it.

Yasenia's eyes sparkled, and she began a buying spree. She bought different seeds to grow these spices and vegetables in her ring, spending 250 Trial Points. If any other cultivator saw the amount she paid for the seeds, they would have directly coughed blood and lost consciousness. How could someone spend so much on something so useless!?

However, our dragoness left with a happy smile. What better thing exists out there for our dear dragoness than making her dears happy and satisfied? Nothing! "When I'm able to use spirit cooking tools, I will make the most delicious food for my dears! Fufufu, I'm going to conquer their stomachs, hearts, and bodies with my delicious food~."

If they heard what she said, they would have answered that Yasenia didn't have to worry too much because all those things were conquered and marked with her name written on them!

Sarah asked curiously, "Do you cook, Yasenia?"

It was Angel who answered with enthusiasm, "The food she makes is the best in the world! After trying it once, you can taste anything else!"

Kali nodded, "Even the food of spirit chefs is slightly worse than hers."

Was there bias in their words? Of course, there was! Objectively speaking, the flavor and nutritional value of Yasenia's normal foods, meaning without using her breast milk, were worse than spirit chefs. Still, the use of dragon milk made Kali's and Angel's words true as it gave her dishes an extremely nutritious and delicious value.

That lasagna she did previously had become one of their favorite dishes. The deliciously cooked meat with the bechamel made from breast milk was something that couldn't leave their mind. Eating it while thinking from where it came from also was somewhat stimulating, making it even more delicious when they ate it.
