Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 23

After the classes, Yasenia went to the skill library, this time she went alone. When she opened the door, there were rows and rows of skills, and in the middle, there was a spiral staircase that led to the next floor.

Skills, weapons, and cultivation techniques were classified like this. from the weakest to the strongest: Mortal, spirit, magical, earth, heaven, here the mortal limits lay then surpassing that level we have transcendental, supreme, and finally Ancient. Inside this, there was low, middle, and high level.

Yasenia’s robe was a high-level magical treasure, for someone at her level where magical treasures are rare, they were astounding.

Yasenia’s sword was a low-level magical treasure, and her tail when hardened, was equivalent to a high-level spirit weapon.

On the other side, her [Flowers and spring] kimono, was actually a middle-level heaven-grade treasure! Because they aid in cultivation and do not serve for combat, Tatyana gifted it to her.

The first floor of the library had mortal level and spirit level skills, this level was available to all the disciples of the academy.

The next level had magical level skills and cultivation methods, to enter this level you have to be at least of the outer disciple violet class or above.

The next level you could enter when you advanced to the violet class in the inner disciple section or above it had earth-level skills and cultivation methods.

The fourth and highest level was only available to core disciples, it had heaven-level skills and cultivation methods. For higher rarity, one must become a teacher and make some oaths to the heavens.

Yasenia was aiming to the second level. She wanted to find something that could last until her real movement technique could be learned.

In truth, what she said in class was a lie. Her scroll was too high ranked to be learned by people of her level, not too complex, it was given by Tatyana and was found inside the ancient tomb. She didn’t want covetous eyes on it, so she spoke like that.

Tatyana couldn’t use it because it was for people like Yasenia, you had to have a tail to learn it, and at least, one of the three celestial elemts.

When she was about to reach the staircase, she was stopped by a short, orange-haired man. Seeing his lecherous eyes and arrogant disposition, she could already guess where this was going.

This time, however, she couldn’t slap the person flying as she did with that young master. Mainly because this man was at least on the early-middle levels of the Dantian Spiritualization realm

Carlos has been one of the librarians of the Academy for at least 150 years, thanks to his family and the effort he put into studying he was able to accumulate a lot of knowledge and become one of the main librarians at that time he was only at the half-step of the unification realm.

The necessary condition in strength for the position is surpassing the mortal realms, so his achievements in knowledge were impressive, to say the least.

Since he entered as a librarian, the efficiency of gathering useful books, information gathering, and the way of ordering the library got better.

Moreover, he was able to find the correct books for students or teachers easily. However, this service was only done to inner disciples of the blue class or above.

Once, however, a very desperate girl of the outer disciples came pleading. Since he maintained himself headstrong the girl offered her body as payment.

She was very beautiful, so he gave to the temptation. But once you bend the rules, furthermore, since he didn’t get caught… He got encouraged to do this.

His mentality started degrading and the alumni that reported him, normally being outer disciples without backing, didn’t make many waves.

But one time he actually got caught in the middle of the act. The girl at that time, however, did it willingly so even if the punishment was harsh, the connections he made during the years were able to reduce the punishment from being banned from the academy to reflect for 30 years.

He also had to pay compensation for every wronged disciple in the past, and when he got back he would be demoted to a simple librarian of the first and second levels of the skill library.

Because he used almost all his connections and favors not to get banned at that time, he has stopped his behavior since then.

Moreover, because his backing is a lot weaker and he was being monitored he was now well-behaved inside the academy. However, Yasenia was too irresistible for scum like him.

Moreover, he hadn’t seen her before so he thought that she had no backing, this is why he decided to begin his former ways with her and target her.

After getting near Yasenia, he said with a smile “Hello, I’m Carlos, one of the former general library librarians. I’m extremely knowledgeable of the ins and out of the first two levels. Do you want my help finding what you need?”

Yasenia didn’t even bother hiding her dislike. And answered flatly, but politely “No, could you let me pass to the next floor? ”

Carlos continued with a smile “You may not know but I previously helped even core disciples! I can assure you that you will like my suggestions.”

Yasenia answered politely since she didn’t want to be rude and didn’t know about his hidden history “Thank you, but I will be able to find something by myself. Can I go to the next floor? ”

Carlos’s patience was wearing thin and was losing his smile little by little “How about you tell me- ”

Yasenia became impatient and said bluntly “Teacher, let me pass. I have even refused teacher Mason, what makes you think I will need your help.”

Carlos also lost his façade and answered with a sneer “That brute with no brain, how can he compare to me! I’m telling you, you will get my help you like it or not!”

Yasenia ignored him and turned to leave ” I will come another day.”

What she didn’t expect was for this guy to actually grab her tail! Yasenia hardened her tail and changed her tip to be sword-like, then she pulled with all her strength making a blood spray from his hands!

Her aura exploded and she turned with a murderous expression and a growl on her voice “I’m telling you, librarian, I don’t care what you say to me, but touch my tail one more time and I will kill you. Did I make myself clear?”

Carlos who was more than two realms above her actually felt a shiver of fear go through his spine and took a step back! However, he recovered quickly and put a vicious expression! “Do you know who am I? If I want you gone from this academy, then you will disappear before you know it! So now, follow me before you regret it”

Yasenia’s face became completely icy and thought ‘So this is the dark part of the cultivation world that I didn’t see until now! If you are unlucky and you are targeted by someone you can’t resist, all that is left to do is become the prey! I remember mom telling me once. If you don’t have strength, you don’t have a voice! Now I get what she meant. Truly a dog eats dog world.’

In spite of this, Yasenia isn’t someone that is easily bullied! Looking down to the one head shorter person she said icily “Little man, I will tell you one last time. Scram before my patience disappears. Or I promise the only thing left after I’m done with you, is going to be regret!”

Carlos become completely mad and was about to move when a silvery voice was heard from the side. “Yasenia, have you finished? Do you want to go home together?”

Carlos turned to look and saw that it was Angel, one of the top five beauties of the outer disciples and one of the favored students by a lot of teachers, so he reigned his temper fast and said with a smile to Yasenia “I was just trying to help you, are you so narrow-minded that you will get angry for this. Miss Angel will hate you if you are like this. ”

What he didn’t expect is that Angel is becoming more and more protective of her recently gained girlfriend, and for the first time in a lot of years, she got angry, her voice sounding icy as she said “Who do you think you are to tell me who I like and I don’t like. Scram!”

Carlos was stumped and Yasenia smirked, she turned toward Angel and said with a gentle smile “En, finished. Let’s go home. I will make you an absolutely delicious dinner today as a reward for coming to get me.”

Angel’s eyes sparkled ‘I will go get her from everywhere from now on!’

She hugged Yasenia’s arm and started to pull showing her excitement “Go! Go! Go! Since today morning I was impatient to try your food again! ”

While they were leaving, Yasenia felt a nasty gaze on her back and her expression darkened a little. ‘I can’t make trouble on my first day. I will come to the library accompanied next time. However, I will not keep it to myself either, I will inform Master and let her deal with it. If she can’t even help me with this, I rather change masters.’

Angel felt the slight gloomy aura around Yasenia and asked “Did something happen?”

Yasenia asked back “Do you know that teacher?”

Angel said “He is normally an easygoing teacher and helps a lot when you ask him things. I didn’t expect to say something like that…” Recalling what he said, she hastily added, “I-I won’t hate e-even if you get angry with people! S-so, uh…”

With this cutie by her side, how could she remain gloomy? Yasenia said with a teasing tone “En, I know, but… you are being quite brave ah! Pulling my arm like this… I thought you were on the shyer side… Not that I dislike it~”

Angel looked down and saw Yasenia’s arm squished between her breast and her face reddened, she freed the arm hastily and started to make hand gestures while talking with a read face “I-I-I, t-this! It wasn’t on purpose!” Seeing the reaction she wanted, Yasenia laughed.

Yasenia then used her height advantage, she put her arm around her shoulders squishing Angel’s face against her side-breast. Then she said while she walked with the stiff and red-faced Angel “Today I will make your favorite food!” Like that the couple went back to their little house.

After dinner, each of them showered, Yasenia put her [Flowers and spring] kimono and went to cultivate at sunset.

After the shower Angel didn’t see Yasenia so she looked around and reached their little backyard, only for her brain to freeze with the beautiful scenery.

In the backyard. Facing the sunset was Yasenia, her expression was relaxed with a slight smile, and her eyes were closed. She was seated in a mermaid-like position, her red kimono was open in her chest and her long legs were bare, giving her a sensual appearance.

The setting sun added a golden-red glow to her whole being as if the glow came from her entire body, illuminating the surroundings.

Suddenly, Yasenia started to absorb that glow, circulating it, she felt her meridians and dantian getting full. Pushing the circulating speed around them and channeling that energy to her bones *Bang!* She broke through the next realm!

However, Yasenia didn’t stop, she continued to feel the sunlight in her skin, and after comprehending the way to absorb it… *Bang!* her body beautifully radiated with a soft golden light! She also broke through in her cultivation manual! She achieved the [Absorption of Sunlight] realm!
