Two weeks have gone by since they arrived at the Second Broken Star City. During this time, Yasenia didn't go out and instead observed the outside with her spiritual sense. She was trying to comprehend the personalities of the cultivators in this place and their attitudes toward beautiful cultivators, regardless of gender.
'It's much better than I expected. As long as a veil covers the beauties, they are likely to be left alone. Even if they are intercepted, a small show of strength is accepted.' Yasenia had seen a gorgeous woman flipping around a man and slamming him against the pavement. She has also seen the opposite, where a magnificent man sent a persistent woman flying with a palm strike.
'I have not really seen many Beast Humans, though. Regardless, there doesn't seem to be any discrimination between races at first glance. It shouldn't be too bothersome to go out.'
Yasenia looked behind her and took a deep breath. Energy enveloped her body, and the air rushed towards her back. Then, her folded wings began pressing against her naked back and slowly melding into her body. After a few moments, Yasenia only had her dragon tail out. Her normal appearance was that of a human woman with a tail, so hiding her tail was not easy.
Moreover, she didn't want to.
The only reason she chose to hide her wings is that they might be bothersome when walking through the streets and shops built primarily for humans. Her tail might also be inconvenient, but she has lived her entire life with it. So, she was accustomed to moving it out of the way and avoiding hitting people or furniture with it.
Yasenia approached the mirror, and energy reached into her [Five Realm Spatial Ring]. Then, with a flash of light, her dress changed. An elegant, modest, but waist-cinching dress surrounded her body. The dress was light purple in color, with flowery golden accents and edges that gave it a noble aura. A wide white band surrounded her stomach with a thinner purple-gold line in the middle. The long, wide-sleeved dress covered her skin entirely, with a floor-length skirt that dragged behind her beautifully.
She would love to wear her usual seductive dress, but that would be calling for trouble. Moreover, she also liked how this dress fit her with her tail, white skin, golden eyes, and black hair.
With a few deft movements of her fingers, Yasenia gathered her long black hair into a half-updo. Then, to add a finishing touch, she took a golden phoenix hairpin and slowly fitted it across her bun. This hairpin would usually look tacky. Nevertheless, thanks to her sun-like slit eyes, it matched her exceptionally well.
Finally, Yasenia took out a semi-transparent black veil and placed it just below her eyes, hanging right above the tip of her nose and reaching slightly below her chin. The veil could be blown by the wind, revealing parts of her gorgeous neck and chin, but Yasenia didn't mind that much.
"Perfect~. Hm… Should I touch my eyelashes and eyebrows?" She looked at the reflection in the mirror and hummed. "Just… a little bit won't hurt, right?" She took out some makeup tools and picked up an eyeliner Evelyn had made. After Evelyn learned makeup, she also taught herself how to create makeup tools. Naturally, she gave a set to Yasenia.
A smile appeared on Yasenia's soft and glistening lips as she remembered the first few times Evelyn put makeup on her. 'Dear was so bad at it… I love her~.'
After retouching her eyes and eyebrows, Yasenia's gaze gained a tangible intensity. A single glance from her could make anyone clutch their chest as if struck. A smile reached her eyes from below the veil, very slightly curving her gaze. "Perfect."
Then, Yasenia turned around and left the building for the first time. "Star Forge, I am leaving to look around."
"Wait!"
Star Forge's voice reached her, and Yasenia stopped in the middle of the hallway. Before she asked what was wrong, Mo Yun, Tai Qingzhe, and Star Forge appeared in front of her with scrutinizing eyes.
Once they saw the elegant and noble beauty in front of them, their breaths stagnated for a second. Yasenia's back was straight, her hands gathered in front of her elegantly, and her golden slit eyes seemed to have physical force once they glanced at them.
Mo Yun muttered. "Oh, Heavens. Yasenia is going to break so many hearts…"
Star Forge spoke with a complicated expression. "Thankfully, you are not wearing that brain-stimulating blue dress of yours. Still… Try not to look at people directly, yeah? I think you'll steal their souls if you cross eyes with someone."
Tai Qingzhe didn't speak, her eyes fixed on the gorgeous and tall dragon woman standing in front of them. 'She looks straight out of a painting…'
Yasenia gently rolled her eyes. "Am I a child or something?"
Mo Yun and Qingzhe blushed while Star Forge coughed. "Also, don't roll your eyes. You made my spine tingle."
Yasenia's eyebrow raised playfully, creating yet another prohibited gesture for Star Forge to warn about. "Hey. It's not my fault for being expressive. Should I walk around with a constant deadpan?"
"That would be great." Star Forge and the other two nodded.
Yasenia rolled her eyes once more and walked forward. She used her tail to bonk the three of them as she passed them and chuckled. "I know what to do. Don't worry too much. If you are worried, you can come with me if you want."
Star Forge spoke as Yasenia walked further away. "I can't follow you, sadly. I have some things to deal with."
Qingzhe muttered. "Should I skip…"
"No." Star Forge deadpanned. "But… Mo Yun, you can go with her, right?"
Mo Yun looked at herself and showed a semi-crying expression. "I feel like my confidence in my beauty is going to—Woah!"
The dragoness used energy to yank the short woman to her side. "Don't be so whiny and come with me. Here, I'll give you my hand so that you don't get lost."
Yasenia's elegant and slender hand appeared in front of Mo Yun's eyes, and she grabbed it with a faint blush. "O-Okay. I'll accompany you."
"Great." Yasenia turned her head and smiled at Mo Yun. Thinking for a moment, Yasenia guided Mo Yun to her own room again and changed her clothes to ones similar to hers.
Seeing the little beauty wearing matching clothes with her, Yasenia was delighted. "So pretty, our Mo Yun~. I really want to plant a big kiss on your forehead. Let's go."
And so, Mo Yun was dragged outside while wearing a remarkably similar lilac-colored dress with golden wave accents and a sash at the waist. Only, Mo Yun had a white-colored hairpin instead of a golden one.
Once Yasenia and Mo Yun arrived at the entrance lobby of the place they were staying, the Star Immortal Sect Disciples and Elders stopped whatever they were doing and stared blankly until they passed.
"W-Was that Elder Yasenia?"
"Of course she was! Only Elder Yasenia has that pair of impacting golden-slit eyes!"
"Have you all been so blinded by her face's beauty that you forgot she has a giant tail behind her? Who else has a dragon tail other than our peerless Elder Yasenia!?"
Meanwhile, Yasenia opened the doors and finally stepped outside. The sound of the door grabbed a few people's attention, and while Yasenia admired the surroundings, the movement in the street seemed to have come to a stop in her presence.
"Say, Mo Yun. Where do we go now?"
"Um…" Mo Yun looked between the stunned crowd and the seemingly blind dragon woman. "That… The crowd… Do we do something?"
Yasenia chuckled softly, her laugh making some people lose strength in their legs. "Silly, if I had to stop each time, I would reach nowhere. Either way, let's go east."
Then, hand in hand, Yasenia guided the stupefied Mo Yun away. The cheerful girl could confidently say that she was a beautiful woman. Her face was round, her eyes big, her lips like flower petals, and her nose was pretty and slim. Her body radiated an innocent beauty that attracted gazes from time to time.
Nevertheless, this was the first time she was with someone who could, quite literally, bring a country to its ruin only with her looks. Looking around as some people tripped, others collided, and others dropped whatever they were holding, Mo Yun got to truly understand the extent of Yasenia's appearance. 'For her to be alive until now… I wonder how she managed it? There must be countless evil people who should want to…'
Mo Yun shook her head quickly, her eyes complicated as she looked at Yasenia's stunning profile. 'Perhaps…'
Yasenia, unaware that she had become a pitiful white flower in Mo Yun's heart, asked curiously. "So, Star Forge has been investigating which sects have come, right? Any sect I must be wary of?"
Mo Yun snapped out of her thoughts and answered softly. "Yes. Quite a few. While our continent doesn't have many Dual-Cultivation-focused sects, that doesn't mean they don't exist. On the contrary, there are a few locations where they are the main cultivation method."
Yasenia sighed. "That bunch again…"
"Um…" Mo Yun asked, her tone cautious. "Have you dealt with them in the past?"
"Many times." Yasenia snorted. "They really won't give up until they see their graves. I've had enough deterrents in the past. But now… Anyway, tell me about their robes so that I can avoid them as much as possible."
"There are… too many to describe." Mo Yun laughed. Then, she started thinking.
Yasenia asked. "Do some of them have white robes with plum blossoms and an image of a woman in their sash covered by the blossom petals?"
"Huh?" Mo Yun blinked, surprised. "That's one of the strongest Dual Cultivation sect attires, yes. How did you… know…"
Following Yasenia's gaze, Mo Yun's eyebrow began twitching. 'How are we so unlucky?' A man and a woman were walking over, wearing that precise combination of colors. Their gazes looked calm and relaxed, but with Mo Yun and Yasenia's perception, they could easily tell that they were sizing up Yasenia.
Looking at the edge of their clothes, Mo Yun sighed in relief. 'Thankfully, they are mortal disciples. If we deal with this properly, we shouldn't be bothered later."
Among many sects, mortal Dual Cultivators were among the few who dared to approach Transcendence Realm cultivators. The reason was that, thanks to their special cultivation, their Yin and Yang energies were usually pure enough to benefit Immortal Cultivators as long as they reached near the peak of the mortal realms.
Of course, the Mortal Dual Cultivator would benefit the most. But if both sides were willing, it was a win-win situation.
Once they approached, the man spoke with a smile. "Greetings, senior. Your—"
"Not interested," Yasenia answered coldly and curtly. Then, she took a step forward and reappeared behind the two mortal cultivators while holding Mo Yun.
A wind blew the clothes of the two Dual Cultivators, freezing them in place.
Mo Yun was stunned. 'I-Is it okay to answer like this?'
The man and woman frowned deeply after snapping out of their daze.
"They really overestimated themselves."
"Really, they are like toads lusting for swans."
"Did they think they could approach a respected immortal like that peerless fairy with such impure thoughts?"
"Tsk. Blasphemous bunch."
Their faces flushed with embarrassment as they heard the people around whispering that they had overestimated themselves.
With a bit of rage and plenty of indignation, the man turned around, ready to raise his voice. However, before he could let out a sound from his mouth, Draheart was pointing straight at his forehead and piercing his skin.
A drop of blood slowly fell down the middle of his forehead, tracing his nose and dripping down to the ground. Yasenia's cold and murderous eyes were visible on the other side of the giant sword as she spoke, her tone full of killing intent. "Not. Interested. Am I clear?"
A strangled scream left their mouths as both the woman and man fell backward under the pressure of Yasenia's killing intent. The man almost pissed his pants in fear. When Yasenia locked on them with her boundless killing intent, it felt as if a sea of corpses surrounded them, the metallic smell of blood filling their nostrils.
Yasenia put away her giant sword after they fell on their butts and walked away with Mo Yun. The cheerful woman looked at Yasenia with glittering eyes. 'Wow! Yasenia is so cool~!'
