Chapter 271: Unexpected Blunder. The Crystal Key's use.

After their buying spree, Angel and Kali were left with only several thousand Trial Points. Their gains in this town were tremendous, from knowledge in their profession to equipment in the Heaven rank. There were various tools for each side job, and obviously, they didn't have a whole set of Heaven-ranked equipment. This is another thing they managed to gather.

Yasenia didn't use her points, reserving them for when she came out of the trial Han Xue spoke about. Who knows what she would need inside such an expensive trial or after it?

Yasenia also looked into the acupuncture book she got while they walked, it was interesting, and Yasenia was trying to see if it would be difficult to use for her. Yasenia sighed and thought, 'Unless my energy also goes wild with the acupuncture needles, it shouldn't be too hard to use. I didn't have problems with acupuncture in the past, so I should be able to use it.'

While Yasenia revised her book and Kali finished spending her points, Angel suddenly remembered the [Crystal Key]. Remembering that the Guard Captain said that only people with authority knew about it, she approached Han Xue to ask.

Han Xue's liking didn't stop at Yasenia. Angel's cute and sweet appearance and character made Han Xue treat her like her daughter. Each time Angel asked something, she would try to answer to the best of her abilities.

On the other side, Kali's experiences made Han Xue treat her with care. She was patient with her and always had a mindful way of speaking. However, this mindful way of speaking wasn't about taking care of Kali's feelings. Instead, Han Xue spoke with her normally.

Speaking with exaggerated care and too differently would only make the affected person realize they were different, so speaking normally to people like Kali was the best thing to make them included.

Not to mention the fact that they were Yasenia's wives, which only made Han Xue even more fond of them.

Therefore, when Angel approached Han Xue, the Mayoress patted her head and asked with a gentle smile, "What's wrong, little Angel?"

Angel smiled and took out the [Crystal key]. Then, failing to realize Han Xue's instant change in expression, she asked. "What's this for?"

Han Luan exclaimed, "Impressive! How did you get this, little Angel? Ah, forget that. That is not important. You really lucked out!"

Han Xiao also chimed in, "Yeah, that is one of the best treasures in our town."

Angel blinked and looked at the key with interest.

Yasenia and Kali also paid attention.

Han Xue thought about it and explained, "This key is to open one of the inheritances across our world. The inheritance is from someone extremely influential. However, the records say that you have to be able to manipulate glass for it. So I don't know if little Angel can receive it."

Angel chuckled and created a lump of prismatic glass in the air. Then she began moving it around with her will, making different forms and shapes.

The glass changed from a fluid-like state to a solid one. She made different shapes and forms as she manipulated the glass lump around. The sunlight beautifully refracted and created a mesmerizing scenery.

Then, Angel transformed the thirty-centimeter glass into Yasenia's shape and began making it dance. The glass figurine spun and jumped agilely and beautifully, attracting the attention of the people in the surroundings.

Looking at the thirty-centimeter tall glass Yasenia dance was an extremely magical and beautiful scene.

Every mortal around was mesmerized by Angel's spectacle; this included the Han trio.

After three minutes, Angel made the glass Yasenia bow and dissipated it in the wind with a wave of her hand.

Someone began to clap, and many followed. Soon, the whole street was clapping at Angel's performance.

Angel was slightly bashful and hugged Yasenia's side to hide a little from the ovation. Yasenia smiled gently and said, "That was very beautiful, baby. I really liked it."

Angel's face blushed with happiness. "I'm glad you liked it, Yasenia."

Han Xue asked a little sheepishly, "Little Angel, could you create a permanent glass Yasenia? I would like to have it."

Angel looked up at Yasenia to ask her opinion. Yasenia nodded, "She has helped us a lot, baby. Create a real size one wherever Han Xue wants."

Angel nodded, and Han Xue looked at Yasenia gratefully.

As they spoke, they arrived at Han Xue's house.

It was very big, even bigger than their house back in the academy.

It had a pair of tall gates leading to a wide frontal garden. Yasenia saw some guard patrols, but seeing that they were all mortals, she was curious about how they prevented cultivators from sneaking in. Nonetheless, Yasenia didn't ask since it should be a deep secret.

After walking for ten minutes, they arrived at the front door of the house; the frontal garden was that big.

The main building had three floors, but it was immensely wide. Yasenia calculated that it would be enough for 400 people to live inside. And this number was an approximation without knowing about the additional buildings and structures in the area.

When they entered, two rows of people welcomed them. The left row was made of beautiful maids and the right one of handsome butlers.

"Welcome home, mistress!"

Yasenia teased Han Xue, "You should have some fun with all these beautiful faces around."

Han Xue laughed, "Believe it or not, I haven't touched a single maid or butler in the house. I'm very loyal to my husband."

Yasenia looked at her doubtfully, 'You wanted to have sex with me, and you call yourself loyal?'

Han Xue knew what she was thinking and whispered, "You are special, dear Yasenia. I'm really loyal."

Yasenia nodded. She believed her. She understood how much her charm could affect a single person.

They walked up some stairs of the luxurious house, the walls were of a pristine white, and the floor was made of elegant marble. Moreover, red carpets covered the hallways, giving them a more authoritative feel.

There were some exquisite bases decorating the sides of the hallways, together with some exotic plants, increasing the feeling of luxury.

The whole building was truly impressive. Yasenia thought to herself, 'Leaving aside that everything is basically of mortal quality, it isn't much different from my house in the Moon Empire.'

Angel even commented, "Wow! My house is not much bigger than this!"

Han Xue lifted her eyebrow, "Are you someone important outside, little Angel?"

Angel tilted her head and asked Yasenia, "Is a viscount house important, Yasenia?"

Yasenia thought and answered, "Somewhat in the middle? You are not too influential, but people also won't take your house lightly."

Kali was somewhat speechless, "Yasenia, not even one person in ten billion has the influence viscounts have. My family would have to lower their heads to a baron, not to mention a viscount."

Yasenia nodded, "I know, but compared with the real big shots, a viscount is not someone too influential. It is truly an awkward spot. Not too influential for taking part in the big events, but also influential enough that you are targeted by those that want to climb up."

Yasenia smiled and said, "Only after reaching Count rank would the family gain real stability and be able to prosper for many generations. That is why Mom decided to become a Countess and not a Duchess. She just didn't want to bother with the politics of the Empire, but she didn't want to be too bothered by other families."

Han Luan asked curiously, "Is your mom strong, Yasenia?"

Yasenia smiled proudly, and even her tail wagged, "The strongest cultivator in the continent and the strongest cultivator in my heart!"

Han Xue laughed, "You really love your mother."

Yasenia nodded, "En, I love her the most."

"More than your lovers?"

Yasenia lifted her eyebrow and said, not hiding it. "Yes. She is the person I love the most. For her happiness, I wouldn't mind setting this world in the way of destruction or bringing salvation to it."

Yasenia's golden slit eyes were deep as she said, "For her, as long as she is happy, there is nothing I wouldn't do." Her tone sent a chill up Han Xue's spine.

The Han trio looked at Angel and Kali, but they didn't see any reaction. Angel said with a giggle, "Mommy Tatyana is super charming~."

Yasenia returned to her previous self and teased her, "En, little Angel reaaally~ likes mom. Calling her almost every other night, she is very attached to her~."

Angel blushed and got fidgety, "Yes... I really like Mommy Tatyana."

Han Xue's eyebrow jumped after realizing in what way Angel liked Tatyana. 'Yasenia is okay with it? It seems like it...'

While making casual talk, they reached the Major's room.

Han Xue knocked on the door, and a man's deep voice was heard on the other side. "Who?"

Han Xue spoke, "It is me, husband."

"Enter." Said the same baritone voice.

Yasenia and the others entered the spacious room.

It had bookshelves at the sides, filled with different books.

The floor was covered with a reddish-brown carpet, and the furniture had a natural light brown color, clear that they were made carefully so that the wood didn't lose its original traits. The artistic nature emphasized letting the wood's rings create beautiful patterns, giving the whole study a pleasant feel. 'Nice decoration.' Yasenia thought.

There was a black-haired middle-aged man behind the wide desk. He was much more handsome than Yasenia expected, with an angular face and thick brows. He had some of the perfection cultivators naturally had.

His face didn't look stern but gave of an authoritative aura of someone that had been giving orders almost all their life. Yasenia's first impression was that he looked like a natural leader.

Han Xue naturally approached him and sat beside him after exchanging a kiss as a greeting. "Let me present Yasenia to you. She is an immortal with 500,000 Trial Points. I thought about letting her take the trial for that treasure. What do you think, husband?"

The man looked at Yasenia up and down, and if it weren't because of all his years of seeing all kinds of beauties, he would have had a hard time maintaining his currently straight face.

Still, he was slightly dazed and continued looking at those delicious curves for a little longer than he planned to.

"Husband?"

Han Xue's call, laced with a threatening undertone, woke him up from his stupor. His tone was frank and sincere as he said, "Excuse me for being rude, immortal. Sometimes the surreal beauty immortals have stills affects me. I accept my wife's proposal. Adding another person to the trial will make it more interesting after all."

Han Xue asked, surprised. "Another? How is it possible? We've yet to announce it. As tradition says, we can only announce about its existence one month after the first immortal steps into our town."

The major nodded and tapped the desk with the pen in his big hand, "I was also surprised when that woman came and asked about it. I don't know where she got the information from, and I can't force an immortal to speak about it."

He sighed and said, " I was frustrated since the competition for the treasure is normally the biggest event in our town. She would've been able to win it effortlessly if it weren't for you carrying this immortal here."

Yasenia was curious about who had been able to gain so many points as fast as her.

Yasenia knew that there had been more cultivators that passed through the Heaven Gate, but Yasenia also knew that they entered at least two or three days after her.

The main reason was that people's respect toward the Heaven Gate increased after seeing so many strong cultivators die on it. Therefore, only after some days would cultivators begin challenging it again. Realizing that it wasn't as hard as it seemed, the number of Heaven Gate cultivators grew exponentially.

Of course, Sarah crossed the dragoness's mind for a second, but there was no way for her to learn about this since they had been together these weeks. 'Is it possible that the thing possessing her learned about it? But how could it know where to ask for it? Another problem is that she didn't have enough Trial Points unless... She lied to me.'

Yasenia frowned when she thought about this, and her heart cooled down even more than it already was for Sarah. 'She is more cunning than I thought. In the end, I got to comfortable around her and I let my guard down. If I didn't meet with Han Xue, she would have gobbled up another powerful treasure in this town. First, that tattered scroll, and now whatever this is.'

Yasenia wasn't angry at Sarah but at herself.

She wasn't angry because Sarah didn't tell her about the treasure, she had all the rights to keep it from her.

What the dragoness found infuriating was that she didn't find it strange when Sarah didn't struggle as much in insisting to keep traveling with them. She did cry, but there wasn't a lot of words about not separating.
