****************************************

Two hundred and thirteen humans stood in the room, with Yasenia present.

The dragoness looked at them and then looked at Long Baidi. Seeing his crazed face, her lips arched. "How low you have fallen, Long Baidi. Hahaha. I still remember your arrogant face wanting me to give you those things. Your family has been bothering me for a while. Do you want to know why?"

Yasenia commented. "A junior Tang clan wanted to buy me, but she was killed. Then, because of the good connections, someone from your family tried to kill me. However, she died. Then, your parents acted like children, unable to accept that their children were stupid and courted death, trying to kill me at every turn. They went as far as trying to start a beef with my mother. Hahaha. Truly stupid."

Before speaking further with him, Yasenia liberated her fans and looked at the remaining people. There were 147 women and three men between them. All of them were native humans. This left her with 63 non-native women from the Sky Continent. And between those, thirty-three were S.L.U.T. members. Or at least, Yasenia had a recollection of them.

Yasenia pondered as she looked at the other 147 native humans. "Since you were here, I decided to buy everyone… But… What should I do with you?"

Yasenia got thoughtful and had an idea. "Ah, I know. I'll leave all of you under Luna's charge. At first, everything will probably need supervision from Esther, but after a while, this might become a strength to make all your spirits brighten."

Yasenia saw a few with similar expressions to Luna when she first got her. 'Well, we've set up a mental nursing home, and it has worked quite well with Luna, so it should not be a problem slowly healing the ones that have their spirits broken. The others, about 120 of them, seem lucid enough.'

Yasenia's eyes landed on the three men, excluding Long Baidi, and frowned. 'What do I do with them? I took them out of impulse because I wanted the Elder to have a good opinion and search for Tang Xian. I mean, if I left them with her, she would probably feel that I was too narrow-minded for not accepting three harmless humans… Sigh.'

Yasenia muttered, not hiding her thoughts. "Killing will leave an uncomfortable aftertaste. After all, I do not murder without reason. Moreover, these three seem quite awake… Even now, their eyes are darting toward the windows and other places, trying to find a way to escape."

The three men froze.

Yasenia frowned, and after a while, she sighed. 'If I really accept them, it can become troublesome.'

Yasenia summoned her sword. Then, she swung it toward their necks.

Two of the fans spoke, a bit hurried.

"W-Wait!"

"Yasenia stop!"

Yasenia's sword stopped a centimeter before the neck of the first one. The strength of the swing created air pressure enough to move that man a few steps aside and make him fall onto the ground.

Yasenia blinked and looked at the two haggard women, tilting her head. "What's wrong? Do you know the situation of the Continent? You should for what you've experienced, right? If they arrived a few years later, I wouldn't mind making exceptions. But now, I can't. I'm too weak. Although my foundation is getting stronger, I'm just a wrong step away from everything crumbling like a tower of loose stones."

Meanwhile, the natives become extremely scared at the audacity of the two women ordering their master and hastily went to their knees, trembling in fear.

This distinguished natives and non-natives very quickly. After all, those who still stood on their feet were from the Sky Continent.

Yasenia didn't bother telling the natives to stand up. She knew that, even if she said it, they would probably not listen.

One of the S.L.U.T. women became flustered and hastily lifted two of the men. "Don't kneel. You are already weak enough. What if you hurt yourself."

The other approached the man who was thrown to the ground by pressure and lifted him. "A-Are you okay? Did it hurt?"

Yasenia was surprised at their tones. 'Well… Four months have gone by in whatever hell hole they've been…'

Yasenia frowned. 'This complicates things.'

The dragoness sighed and pierced the sword taller than herself onto the ground. "Explain. Did they help you? What are they for you?"

The woman smiled awkwardly. "They consoled the few of us who… Well."

Yasenia understood, but she didn't react. Many months have passed since they arrived here, so expecting them not to be touched would be idealistic and, honestly, delusional. 'Even if most of them are not used as that. The beautiful ones are probably more inclined to that fate. Being a cultivator, not being beautiful compared to mortals, is difficult.'

Yasenia's mind flashed with her dear Evelyn, and she smiled. 'Not that it matters. My little dear might not be the most beautiful, but she is adorable ~.'

She focused on them again. "All three of them are with you?"

One begged, grabbing the hand of the tallest one. "A-After I was crippled, he took care of me and… Please, forgive his life."

The other said, grabbing the hand of the other one. "H-He stood by my side all the time… I… Um."

Yasenia nodded. "No need to explain in detail."

Even in the worst conditions, affection born from dependence can bloom. 'If I killed them after they've said so much, I would be too ruthless. However…'

After pondering, Yasenia concluded. "For the outside. I do not accept men. It is a condition I put myself in to avoid scrutiny. How many of you have a crippled Dantian? Meridians, we can heal them slowly and nourish them if they are only damaged, not broken. However, the Dantian... I'm not skilled enough yet."

Of the sixty-three, fourteen lifted their arms, indicating broken meridians or damaged Dantian.

Yasenia sighed. 'It is becoming worse. In the first month, only one out of fifty were crippled. The proportion is only increasing. Not to mention…'

"How many were left behind?"

It was natural if superiors became fond of a human and refused to let them go even for an Earth-level treasure. Moreover, being adaptable, a few could've tried seducing beast humans to keep themselves safe.

Yasenia has tried making the conditions of trade good enough that they will relent, but…

One of the ones in the large group spoke weakly. "Four were left behind, Yasenia. Two voluntarily, two against their will."

Our dragoness sighed yet again.

'Sadly, I can't go on the offensive yet. By the time I can… It's probably too late.'

Finally, she turned toward Long Baidi. "At first, I wanted to torture and play with you a bit. But my mood is gone. Die."

Her tail flashed, and his head exploded. Then, she waved her hand, and the body was encased in moon-attributed ice, becoming ice crystals in the next moment that were blown out of the window by her energy control. 'And with this, Long Baidi is gone.'

Her gaze moved toward the native humans, making them tremble.

Yasenia ordered. "Use make-up on the males and make them look like women. The males with a partner will live with their lover and work at home."

Yasenia looked at the third male, who didn't have a partner between the girls, who stepped forward and muttered. "Only you are left… why was he chosen?"

One of the Sky Continent women who were not from the group answered. "I think he is too ugly, so they tried to sell him to everyone. Since his appearance is as such, he doesn't even qualify as a male breeder."

Yasenia blinked and looked at him closely. 'Well, she is not wrong.'

Yasenia pondered and took out a magic-level log.

She cut, polished, engraved, and gave it the form of a mask in less than thirty seconds. Then, she gave it to the three men.

Then, she summoned two hundred plus robes, one for each person. They were all made with mortal materials, but they were enough.

"Wear these. It's better than makeup. Also, here are some clean clothes. Moreover, the mansion has two shared bathtubs; the men will use one, and the women will use another. Esther will put all of you up to pace. Put on the clothes after cleaning yourselves."

An hour later, Yasenia went to the side mansion where the humans lived, and observed the three rows of clean women. Their faces were much more relaxed, and the gloomy feeling was gone for many of them.

After all, seeing strong humans like Esther and the others, plus their dresses, it felt a feeling of being reborn.

Their bodies still left much to desire since they looked as if the wind would carry them away, but at least they had a bare minimum of hygiene. 'Hm. It seems like Esther has given them a simple makeover, cutting nails and hair, plus spreading a bit of cream on them.'

Yasenia smiled. "Well, this is really another look."

Esther approached with a smile. "I didn't expect so many of them to come, Yasenia. This place can hold about two thousand people if we divide rooms, so take it into account."

Yasenia nodded. "Don't worry, living space will soon be of no problem. How is it? Any lethal diseases."

Esther nodded. "A few, but the water prepared by Lady Kali can kill all mortal diseases. They are all free of ailments."

Yasenia looked at the three men, two of them with one of the girls grabbing their arm. "Esther, limit the living space of those three men. Living within a room with basic necessities should be better than whatever they went through in the past. I don't want a problem to occur because of people thinking with their lower halves. Remember that the natives have zero education."

Esther nodded and explained. "We've decided to create ranks within the human group. Those women with no cultivation will work as housemaids, and those with cultivation will go to a training and rehabilitation camp led by Xeria, one of the two S.L.U.T. girls you saved first in the tournament. We will also search in the Body Cultivation library which ones are suitable for the techniques you've collected until now."

Yasenia asked. "How is Luna doing?"

Esther smiled. "Perfectly fine. Angel finished the ritual formation and used it in the past. Luna has Water, Darkness, and Death attributes. Her constitution is called [Emotion Reaper Physique], and her bloodline seems to have demonic traces. It is called [Flowing Dream Demon]."

Yasenia's eyebrow lifted. "[Flowing Dream Demon]?"

Esther nodded. Yasenia said, surprised. "That's a sick twist of Fate…"

The beautiful black-haired woman looked at Yasenia, confused. "How so?"

Yasenia commented with a weird expression. "That's a Succubus Demon Bloodline."

Esther's face crumpled. "T-Truly… A sick twist of Fate."

Honestly, Yasenia was impressed. This was good news in a way because Succubus had natural resistance to trauma because of sexual aspects. They were not immune, mind you. But it was the positive part in the bad.

Moreover, her talent was not worse than Cecile's before her transformation into a Moon Phoenix.

'No wonder her body was so well maintained even in those conditions. No wonder she could reach out to Evelyn. No wonder she managed to break through. She has a Succubus bloodline.'

Yasenia heard that Luna had cultivated during these months and raised to the second level of the Opening Realm and Foundation Building Realm. The Spirit and Body Cultivation path's first realm, second level.

Her attitude continued to be gloomy and mostly emotionless, but she showed a few facial expressions when Evelyn or the fan girls who took care of her were around.

She even was cute enough to call them big sisters when they asked.

Yasenia pondered. 'She just doesn't open up to me for some reason. Was it my strong attitude the day I bought her? Well, her hate for beast humans is probably deeply ingrained. Plus, I acted like a real master at the beginning. Maybe she thinks I'm just acting to get on her good books? That would be too arrogant, though. What kind of need for her do I have? But, well, she is recuperating, so I'll be a bit lenient with her.'

After sorting everything, Yasenia sent the ape woman a painting of Tang Xian.

If they found her like Long Baidi, perfect, one less worry.

If they didn't, well, she wasn't too worried.

What worried Yasenia was Angel's sister and a few of her close friends from the academy.

'Let's hope for the best and think that they are not in this continent. After all, the number of people I found is not that many… Probably cultivators have been thrown around this Universe.'

Yasenia looked out of the window in her office, and seeing the sky becoming dark, she stood up. 'Enough work for today.'

Yasenia left, thinking about the three human males. 'I hope they behave…'

************************************************

Tatyana: Wow, the flag you set up is so big.

Yasenia: What flag?

Tatyana: Nothing, little treasure. I'm quite interested in what kind of thing this will bring.

Mirrory: She should've been ruthless. Now, she is a leader.

Valeria: I think that giving them a chance is not bad. All life is precious.

Mirrory: I disagree. Depending on the situation, life is expendable. Moreover, other people's lives are not equal. Ask your fox if she would rather kill a thousand cultivators or Yasenia.

Valeria: That's an extreme argument.

Mirrory: What if they are fighting in a populated city? Will you hold back to protect the lives of the city?

Valeria: Lives not mattering doesn't mean you should not care. At least try moving the battle away from the city.

Mirrory: Useless distractions that can cost you your life.

Author: Oy! I've yet to summon the dear. What are you two speaking about?

Mirrory: Tatyana, what do you think?

Tatyana: Hm? Do any lives besides Yasenia's matter?

Mirrory: …

Valeria: …

Author: Well, I summon you!

Sophia: Hello~.

Mirrory: Oh? A new soul.

Sophia: Yep~. Hello, Mirrory.

Mirrory: Um.

Sophia: Well, my question is for Mommy Tatyana!

Tatyana: Oh?

Sophia: Once everyone's power is more stable and secure, will you begin to show more of your truly amazing and terrifying self, or would you prefer to continue to support Yasenia from the shadows?

Tatyana: Depends… But I've already experienced many things. So… I'd rather be a spectator with the right to interfere.

Tatyana: Of course, if little treasure asks me to do something. I'll do it.

Sophia: Then, if she asks you to interfere and take the lead?

Tatyana: I would ask why. Then, I would agree or disagree, depending on her reasoning. This is not a black-or-white situation, after all.

Sophia: I see.

Author: Anything more?

Sophia: Nope. Thanks for having me here~.

Author: No problem! Well, you've heard, little lurkers. Goodbye, and have a nice day!
