'You asked for it.'
During an instant that was too small to perceive, Yasenia controlled her dantian.
She closed her eyes as the wave of energy traveled toward Evelyn while her internal organs squeezed because of the pressure from the seniors.
Evelyn and the others saw the energy wave coming their way, and their faces became solemn as their energy gathered to counterattack.
At that instant, everything seemed to slow down for everyone present, and the world fell silent.
The space in the room seemed to solidify and constrict as the eyes of everyone present moved toward the source of the anomaly.
Then, Yasenia's every aura burst forth from her.
For the first time, she didn't hold back a single thing.
[Monarch Intent], [Empyrean Dragon Authority], [War Intent], [Celestial Dress], [Empyrean Cosmos Dress], [Empyrean Galaxy Domain], and even her cultivation base was mixed in.
Then, Yasenia added a strand of something else, and the aura that felt like something looking at them from the skies changed to the gaze of a Primordial being born from the cosmos.
*BOOOM!*
The pressure wave of the seven seniors was instantly obliterated as the aura in the room dissipated together with everything that was not strong enough to resist Yasenia's aura burst.
The walls reinforced by the Heaven-ranked formations cracked, creating countless spider-web-like fissures.
The faces of the seven seniors changed as fear flashed in their eyes for the first time while being looked at by Yasenia's cold and indifferent murderous slit eyes.
Her reptilian gaze seemed to come from a superior creature, almost forcing them to kneel down in reverence.
If it weren't for the massive difference in cultivation, they would've fallen face-first onto the ground.
The space inside the room had also changed, appearing as if they were in the middle of space, surrounded by the Moon, Sun, and countless stars.
Yasenia's voice echoed in the room ethereally, with a tone of an absolute being looking down at mortals.
"Are you done? Did I permit you to touch my slaves? Why are you acting so high and mighty before my presence? I've told you that I want to create positive connections, and you do this. MY patience is running low, woman."
Yasenia saw that they were about to fight back her pressure, so instead, she dissipated it and avoided them, gauging her real strength.
The room returned back to normal as only Yasenia's chair and the chairs below the seniors remained in the previously heavily decorated room.
The reason Yasenia could dissipate the aura of seven powerhouses for that instant and overwhelm them was not actual strength. Yasenia could do it because, after combining everything in her arsenal, she also forced her dantian to work against the pressure damaging her and push a strand of pure Celestial Energy from the star in her dantian to mix with her auras.
The powerful ancient energy made everyone in the room, including Tatyana, Mirrory, and Valeria, feel like the room had become a small Universe under Yasenia's control.
Tatyana's red eyes flashed with excitement, and her heart pounded with anticipation for the future. 'My little treasure is exceptional~.'
The Celestial Energy and aura combination released in the instant it materialized was enough to obliterate everything in the room, even damaging Yasenia herself.
If they could look inside Yasenia, they would see her internal organs heavily bleeding as her body worked overtime healing herself.
Another thing worth commenting on is that Yasenia's aura burst did not just obliterate the furniture, the remaining human slaves in the room were also instantly killed.
Luna survived because she was near our girls, who defended against the aura burst with a combination of effort as Cecile told them what was coming before it happened. Even then, the air shockwave shook her brain and made her faint with a concussion.
Kali used her tails to engulf Luna in her fur, and she used a healing technique, healing all the damage she received in a few instants.
Sadly, Kali couldn't do the same with Yasenia, as their dragoness was currently acting like a senior, and she couldn't show a moment of weakness.
Yasenia stood up momentarily, her tail smashed the chair below her, and she summoned an armchair from her ring, sitting back down without a change of expression.
The movements were fluid and natural, looking majestic and elegant.
The seniors who had a bad relationship with Yasenia couldn't hide their ugly expressions. They thought that this time they'd kicked a steel plate.
Moreover, Yasenia's attitude toward the serpent woman showed them her lack of fear while facing all of them.
Yasenia looked at the mangled corpses and then back at the seniors. "Now that the trash is out of the way, the little games have been played, and the greetings are done, can we move on to the thing I came here to? Your subordinates have probably informed you that I'm a female human collector, so you should have merchandise that I'm interested in."
The tiger kin smirked and commented. "Well, color me surprised. It looks like some of our guesses were not that right. You are right. We want to present to you a few slaves."
Yasenia lifted her eyebrow and smiled. "They are probably not normal slaves, right?"
The tiger kin squinted and asked. "What do you mean?"
Yasenia sneered. "You should have called me because you have some unruly slaves of high level and want to get rid of them. Moreover, since they are not obedient, you wanted to test if I am enough to keep them at bay and measure my strength that way. Not that it matters anymore, as our small altercation was quite fruitful in making that clear, right?"
The tiger kin's smile disappeared, and he looked coldly at Yasenia. "You may be strong, but we are by far not the strongest in the Continent. I admit your aura is something I have never felt before, but it lacks profoundness. If you keep being arrogant, you are going to suffer."
Yasenia lifted an eyebrow. "Arrogant? I felt misunderstood. I have never, since the very beginning, wanted to become an enemy with any of you. Not even now, I do have that intention."
"Oh?"
Yasenia commented. "I just wanted to stop the pointless games and get to business. Hence, me explaining my understanding of the situation. Nothing more, nothing less. I apologize if I've come forward as arrogant. It was not my intention at all."
The seven seniors were surprised since people with strength usually have massive egos. Showing a powerful side and then humbling yourself is comforting for other parties. If used efficiently, it can lead to creating solid connections where you have slight advantages.
Meanwhile, a few of our girls were having difficulty holding their fangirling squeals. 'She is so cool!'
Kali stealthily asked. 'Yasenia, my love, do you feel uncomfortable?'
Yasenia wouldn't lie and say she was okay. She whined a little bit. 'I feel like my insides are being electrocuted while a fire is burning me, honey. I think their pressure has burst one or two of my internal organs. I've been holding back spitting out blood for a while already.'
Kali and the others instantly felt distressed and wanted to rush forward to hug their dearest. Tatyana commented. 'Hold on a little bit more, dear. We are going to pamper you a lot when we return.'
They saw Yasenia resting but unable to completely hide the wag of her tail, creating a soft "Pat, Pat, Pat" sound against the ground.
They almost clenched their heart at her cuteness.
The tiger man burst into laughter and clapped. "Good, good, good. We underestimated you. Sorry for not stopping her, but we all had our plans."
Yasenia rolled her eyes and shifted her body, trying to avoid the painful position she was sitting in. "Don't place silly excuses, senior."
Subsequently, Yasenia looked at the cold-faced woman and smiled. "Beautiful Miss, you shouldn't worry too much. I can understand why you did it. I also was a bit harsh because you almost hurt one of my precious little girls and spoke out of hand. Let's let bygones be and start again as friends. What do you say? We are all old enough to know that we can also take steps back to create beneficial relationships."
Yasenia sent a wave of her scent toward them as her smile became soft.
The woman was surprised, and then her nose twitched, catching a whiff of the sweet scent that tingled her senses for a second.
Looking at the attractive woman, she couldn't help but look deeply at Yasenia.
Then, she waved her hand, and a cold wind froze and disintegrated the seven mangled corpses and all the blood splatters.
Then, the serpent woman smiled and said, her tone much more friendly. "Let our first impressions disappear like the crystal dust of the deceased. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation, Yasenia."
Yasenia nodded and laughed. "I would have preferred to see this beautiful and elegant side of yourself first, to be honest."
The woman chuckled. "Oh, you. The mouth is a bit too sweet. Either way, I'll also apologize for being rude to your cuties. Let's see if the ones we present to you are enough to compensate for their small scare."
Yasenia smiled and nodded, but internally, she still felt a burning wrath inside. 'You attacked my dears, and you really think I'll let bygones be bygones? Wait until my strength is enough, and we'll see what happens next.'
After the woman called outside again, someone pushed the door open. However, to no one's surprise, the door crumbled to the ground because of the previous aura explosion.
Yasenia and the others blinked, but they didn't pay attention.
From the destroyed door, four women were pushed forward. This time, they looked healthy and didn't have strange traces or marks.
The physical abuse they received was probably minimal, or they had been healed before coming here.
Yasenia observed them, and suddenly her eyes flashed with surprise.
She hastily concealed her emotions and turned to look at the seniors. The tiger kin smirked. "What do you think? They are quite good catches, aren't they?"
Yasenia's eyes remained calm for a moment, unknown thoughts flashing in her mind.
Then, she smiled widely and spoke. "It was definitely worth it coming here. Such beautiful humans. Not only on the outside, but they also look beautiful on the inside."
The mellow and attractive low female voice startled two of the four women that walked inside, and they lifted their lowered heads.
Their hearts beat louder when their eyes landed on the seductive woman wearing a revealing blue off-shoulder dress that barely covered the two white mountains on her chest. Those long bare legs and wide hips were impossible to miss, and the empyrean tail burned their hearts.
Then, the softly glowing golden eyes and country-ruining countenance made their nose sour.
Thankfully, the tiger kin's voice brought them back to reality. "Hoh? I can see you've taken a liking to them."
They hastily lowered their heads and masked their emotions while their heartbeat with uncertainty and expectations.
"You are right. I took a liking to them."
Yasenia stood up and stepped toward them. The slow steps made the four women feel many different emotions as they observed from the corner of their eyes how the tall and utterly gorgeous woman sashayed her hips as she walked toward them.
Yasenia stopped before one of them and used her index finger to lift her lowered head.
The seniors accurately saw how the human woman's cheeks blushed as her eyes became watery.
However, they couldn't really fault her since, despite their elevated cultivation level, they barely maintained their composure upon catching a glimpse of Yasenia, who had a captivating beauty.
After Yasenia lifted the face of one of the girls that reacted, she internally sighed. 'As expected, they are from my fan club. Sigh, my little girls have suffered. Are there more of them in their hands? These two don't look too badly affected, but are there any others that have already… Sigh, my little cuties have suffered.'
Yasenia had a special place for these girls who honestly supported and worshiped her from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing them so beaten up, she felt heartache and a surging wave of rage. Even in the Secret Realm, when she left the encirclement to avoid combat after her rebirth, she stayed behind and observed whether the conflict would arise to protect them.
Now, in this continent, who knows how many of them are currently suffering?
'Yet, I can't do much. I must ensure that I can get my hands on them even if they are spotted and captured.'
The serpent woman she just "befriended" spoke. "I see you set your sight in the two most unruly of them. We captured another one with those two, but she died in battle. These two have also barely been trained, and even one trainer was almost killed by them having their member almost bit off. Are you sure you want them?"
Yasenia was observing the second S.L.U.T member and heard the serpent woman. She momentarily paused as she tried to control the rage bubbling inside her.
A brutally cold smile appeared on Yasenia's face while the seniors could only look at her back. 'It seems that, when I'm strong enough, I'll have to bathe myself in blood for a long time.'
At this instant, the future nightmare of many from the Distancia Continent was awakened.
