Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 684: The next ten waves and the start of the fourth event.

Chapter 684: The next ten waves and the start of the fourth event.

They both were teleported back to their rooms, and Yasenia stretched. 'Sigh, not being able to hug Baby for a few hours is giving me a cuddle lacking disease.' She then chuckled. 'Well, it was fun.'

Suddenly, an announcement happened.

[Congratulations to Du Xian, Rank 921st, for winning against Yasenia Dravory, Rank 2nd. From now on, because of the significant distance in ranks, Du Xian will earn thirty percent as an extra of what Yasenia Dravory wins.]

Yasenia blinked and then smiled wryly, not expecting it to be announced in such a high-profile way.

The next second, Yasenia heard the communication device sound with a flood of messages from her dears.

Evelyn asked with evident concern. "Yasenia, how did you lose? Are you okay?"

Andrea's soft and deep voice was next. "Are you okay, love? Are the injuries deep? Be sure to take care of yourself."

Tatyana's voice was next. "Little Treasure, are you injured? Tell me later how you lost so that we can work on what you lacked."

The rest also sent similar messages of concern.

The dragoness felt her heart melt with love, and she quickly answered. "Don't worry, don't worry. I didn't fight. I just made a deal with Du Xian and surrendered without fighting. I'm unscratched."

Angel answered. "Thank the heavens…"

"Why did you surrender?" Cecile asked, curious.

Yasenia explained what happened, and the girls listened in silence. After explaining, the dragoness didn't hear their voice, making her feel something amiss. "Um, dears? Are you there?"

Cecile was the one who answered her. "Hmmm, so you cuddled with that woman for an hour."

The tone was calm, but Yasenia felt her muscles tensing for some reason. "S-Sweetheart. She has a husband."

"She does?"

Yasenia felt an unknown threat and blurted quickly. "She even has a child older than me!"

"I see."

Cecile's tone didn't change, but Yasenia somehow felt a sense of relief. Then, she heard Angel mutter. "Should I lose on purpose and challenge her later…"

A droplet of sweat fell from her temple. "D-Don't do that, baby. I want to see you end as high as possible."

Her baby's cheerful tone reached her next. "Okay!"

Yasenia released her breath, feeling that she had overcome a very dangerous opponent. 'As expected of my dears, not even Xiang Yinnu gave me this sense of pressure.'

The other girls also fought their battles, but none of them were defeated, nor close to being defeated. While a few matchups took a bit of a toll on them, they always had it somewhat controlled because the people who were as strong as Xiang Yinnu were in the top 50 and, therefore, wouldn't challenge them.

An hour before the third event started, Yasenia got challenged one last time as soon as the timer finished.

[You've been challenged by rank 601, Huang Ming'er.]

Yasenia turned and saw another pretty and cute girl. She was feeling somewhat speechless. 'Is there no other creature besides these cute girls in this tournament, or what? I remember that there weren't that many when I surveyed the area in the first event!'

The woman pointed at her and sneered. "If you lost to number 921, it seems that you were ranked second out of luck. I'm number 601! You should surrender before I attack you."

Yasenia saw that the woman was on the high level of the Ethereal Soul Realm, and her lips twitched. 'Do I really look like such a weak person?'

Then, Huang Ming'er sneered. "If you don't surrender, don't blame me when I kill you!"

Yasenia's entire being switched from calm to cold. While Du Xian challenged her, she didn't really direct killing intent toward her in the beginning, but this person wanted to kill her.

Her lips arched in a chilling smile. "I wanted to test my seduction skills, so an unexpected thing happened. Do you think that two people can have the same luck? [Empyrean Galaxy Domain]. [Celestial Cosmos Dress], [Celestial Intent]."

BOOM!

Her overwhelming aura flooded the arena, and the high-level Ethereal Soul woman almost pissed her pants. It felt as if Yasenia's presence had swallowed everything in the entire area, and she was nothing but a speck of dust before the Sun.

Yasenia used [Heavenly Constellation Steps, first sky: Pegasus Steps] and appeared before the scared woman in an instant. The woman, who was at the same cultivation level as the dragoness, didn't even have a chance to react before Yasenia attacked. "[Sun Dragon Claw]."

The Huang Ming'er hastily used a defensive skill and crossed her arms, and right after, Yasenia's hand smashed against the woman's arms.

BANG!

Her body flew, creating a trench through the arena floor while the Sun Energy explosion charred her arms.

"[Monarch Intent], [War Intent], [Sun Dragon Body]."

BOOM!

The aura around her raged like an inferno, flooding the entire arena with her menacing presence. While she chanted the skills, the dragoness jumped up high and took a deep breath.

"[Sun Dragon Breath]!"

ROAR!

A massive golden beam scorched the air, accompanied by the rumbling dragon roar.

The woman's stomach dropped when she lifted her head and saw golden death rushing toward her. All her senses shouted to her that if she got hit, she would die. Out of pure survival instinct, she screamed. "I surrender!"

Instantly, a golden cocoon appeared around her and blocked Yasenia's powerful breath attack, scattering it like a spoon placed below a faucet. Wherever the scattered streams of her dragon breath landed, enormous explosions resounded, filling the entire place with deafening sounds.

The dragoness landed with all her strength before the woman, creating a loud explosive sound that shook the pretty woman's heart and cracked the solid arena ground.

Huang Ming'er was trembling and sitting on the ground, looking at Yasenia with a pale face and terror deep in her eyes.

Yasenia stated with a cold stare and a threatening voice. "Next time, be clever and take a detour when you see me."

With those words, they both disappeared and reappeared in their rooms.

Yasenia snorted and tucked her long black hair behind her ear while deactivating all her skills. 'I guess I'll receive quite a few challenges because of my loss against Du Xian. Well, whatever. Just fighting beasts is a bit stale.'

With no more challenges, the rounds began.

This round, Yasenia had to fight two level eight Fusion Core beasts in round 31 and probably 20 of them in round 40.

Of course, fighting 20 beasts at the same level was already a challenge many wouldn't be able to complete, so people started using the blue teleporter instead of the red one, which lowered the beasts' level while giving half the points.

It was during these waves when the points began to fluctuate, and many lost their "perfect" streaks.

Of course, our girls were not ordinary in any way, so they could clear the forty waves very quickly. But, to do it perfectly, they took their time.

They realized that perfection mattered much more than speed, so instead of trying to eliminate everything extremely quickly, a strategy that allowed them to exterminate beasts slowly and methodically without being touched was best.

[Congratulations, you won perfectly against two eighth-level Fusion Core Beasts without receiving any damage in 12.1 seconds. You've won 6200 points. X2.2 Multiplier detected. You've won 13,640 Points. You have 198,840 Points.]

[Congratulations, you won perfectly against eight eighth-level Fusion Core Beasts without receiving any damage in 26.8 seconds. You've won 6800 points. X2.2 Multiplier detected. You've won 14,960 Points. You have 242,400 Points.]

[Congratulations, you won perfectly against ten eighth-level Fusion Core Beasts without receiving any damage in 30.5 seconds. You've won 7000 points. X2.2 Multiplier detected. You've won 15,400 Points. You have 257,800 Points.]

[Congratulations, you won perfectly against eighteen eighth-level Fusion Core Beasts without receiving any damage in 39.7 seconds. You've won 7800 points. X2.2 Multiplier detected. You've won 17,160 Points. You have 323,800 Points.]

[Congratulations, you won perfectly against twenty eighth-level Fusion Core Beasts without receiving any damage in 41.2 seconds. You've won 8000 points. X2.2 Multiplier detected. You've won 17,600 Points. You have 341,400 Points.]

Because of the time they took, their ranks lowered. Moreover, there were a few new names in the top fifty as people with the point advantage began climbing.

Still, Yasenia was in the top 7, while Tatyana was still first. While help from points was something essential, their 2.2 multiplier and perfect score were still tremendous advantages.

Out of curiosity, Yasenia searched for Du Xian's name and found her in rank 128, making her laugh. 'Not bad. An 800-rank jump.'

128.- Du Xian, 310,400 Points. 40th wave.

Doing quick calculations, Yasenia knew that Du Xian had challenged someone with a 1.8 multiplier and won; this person also should've been more than 500 ranks above her.

In short, Yasenia and the girls scored a perfect rating, maintaining their top 50 positions, and Du Xian also climbed relatively high.

A gathering of energies caught the dragoness's attention, and she looked over to the yellow portal that appeared one more time. 'Hm… I see. First, we will do the event, and then another round of challenges.'

Yasenia stepped inside, and she was transported to another location.

Looking around, she noticed that they were all together once more.

The number of participants had been reduced to 880, the battles between cultivators were ruthless, and deaths were bound to happen, not to mention the sharp increase in difficulty in the waves.

The people left were powerful participants.

The girls looked for Yasenia and observed her to check if she genuinely had no injuries.

Seeing their seductive dragoness languidly standing there, making heads turn, they all sighed in relief.

Curious about who had made a deal with their lover, the girls searched for the squirrel woman Yasenia had spoken to them about. They had demanded a description so they all knew how she looked.

Soon enough, they found the cute squirrel woman looking around with her big eyes and round animal ears flickering.

'Cute.'

It was a unanimous thought.

Unlike Angel, who had a hint of seductiveness in her purity and adorableness because of her curvy body, Du Xian perfectly fit the "small herbivorous" kind of woman.

The man's voice echoed, garnering their attention. "This event is called [Treasure Land]. As the name implies, it was created to give those who reached the fortieth wave a chance and a reward. In front of you, there is a treasure land. You have two days to investigate it and gather treasures at will. Then, you can leave or continue challenging the trial in order to reach the top fifty and gain the final reward."

Yasenia and the others looked over the vast rocky landscape with volcanic flora and some pieces of land with thick reddish-black vegetation and found it interesting. 'Volcanic flora and fauna. It's indeed very rare and an appropriate reward. I wonder what we can find."

When they felt their bodies able to move after the man's speech ended, our girls approached Yasenia.

But to their surprise, a group of short people also approached, with one of them being even quicker than them. It was Du Xian's group.

Du Xian was excited to see Yasenia again and dove into her arms before the stunned eyes of our girls.

"Yasenia! Did you see my rank? Did you? I'm 128th! It's all thanks to you, hehehe."

The dragoness blinked in surprise, but then she laughed and patted her head. "It's also thanks to your own efforts, Du Xian."

Du Xian smiled brightly. "Yes! Also, do you want to explore the secret realm tighter?"

A teasing and elegant voice was heard from their side. "Hello, is my little treasure's embrace comfortable?"

Du Xian's fur puffed up as chills ran throughout her body, and she instinctively hugged Yasenia tighter in fear. "W-who!?"

Looking sideways, her breath was stolen away by an enchanting pair of red eyes. The black-haired woman was a beauty who could probably cause a war between two countries to have her smile.

Tatyana spoke with a smile. "Hello~."

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

Andrea: We are approaching the final section of the competition. With the points advantage a few gained, it's becoming interesting.

Yasenia: Maybe we can steal, I mean, gain a few interesting things during these two days.

Evelyn: … Love, you are truly bottomless.

Yasenia: The more treasures, the better.

Evelyn: Hahaha.

Author: Let's move on~. I summon you!

Kaszty: Hello.

Kali: Oh? It has been a while, Kaszty.

Kaszty: Yes. I'm here to ask Tatyana something.

Tatyana: I'm all ears.

Kaszty:Since Yasenia's birth, how much of your heart started to heat up, and how many heart demons were you able to heal?

Tatyana: That's… a complicated question.

Tatyana: Hm… It's difficult to quantify, but from what I heard from my direct subordinates, I'm much softer than before.

Kaszty: Didn't you just annihilate a few kingdoms in the Sky Continent?

Tatyana: Right? Why would they say I was merciful?

Valeria: She probably would've annihilated more than a few kingdoms in the past.

Kaszty: Cough. I see.

Tatyana: Probably? I don't know. Now, about my heart demons… Is there anything that I was able to squash? Well, I'm constantly fighting with them, so I don't really know.

Mirrory: Her soul is honestly a mess. If a normal soul without heart demons is smooth like a bedsheet, Tatyana's is like a messed-up ball of yarn. To unravel that, it will take much more than a few years of happiness.

Yasenia: …

Kaszty: I see. Thanks for answering.

Tatyana: No problem~.

Author: And that's all for today.
