While walking around the city, Yasenia got approached by plenty of people. After the fifteenth rejection, Mo Yun was already numb and understood how Yasenia could be so indifferent. 'She has rejected so many people that she can respond by pure instinct.'
Yasenia looked at a few items displayed on a street vendor's stall with curiosity. "Look, Mo Yun, aren't these quite cute?"
Mo Yun snapped out of her daze and looked at the items Yasenia was pointing at. "Oh… They are pretty cute."
The row of items was jade figurines of cute girls and beautiful women. They didn't really have anything special other than their exquisite and lifelike appearance. The dragoness chuckled. "Although… They look so real that they are a bit creepy."
Mo Yun agreed with that. "That's true…" Looking sideways, her eyebrow twitched. 'Another one? Really?'
Yasenia was about to reach out to pick a petite blonde figurine that looked similar to Angel when someone else took it from her. She frowned and looked sideways, seeing a man smiling at the vendor. "I'll buy this for the beautiful lady."
Yasenia didn't say anything and waited for the transaction to happen. After the man was done buying it, Yasenia picked the figurine.
"What's your—"
Yasenia ignored him and smiled at Mo Yun. "Do you want one? I bet that this generous man will buy it for us."
Mo Yun blinked twice, confused. 'Does she like people like him?'
Looking over, the other man was taller than Yasenia and had good facial features and a good body. Overall, he looked like a handsome warrior. Still, she shook her head. "No. No need to."
"Great." Yasenia nodded and then grabbed Mo Yun's hands, walking away.
Both Mo Yun and the man looked bewildered at Yasenia. "Um… What about that man?"
"What about him?" Yasenia blinked her golden slit eyes twice, confused.
Mo Yun looked at the figure and asked again, her confusion increasing. "That… Didn't you accept that figurine?"
"Hm?" Yasenia looked at it and nodded. "Right, he was so eager to buy it for me. How could I miss a chance to get something I wanted for free?"
Mo Yun's brain twisted, and she finally understood what was happening. Right after, she burst into laughter. 'Oh! Hahaha. She just wanted free things! Hahahaha.'
"What's wrong? What's so funny?" Yasenia asked with a head tilt. Meanwhile, behind them, the man who heard everything only felt his heart and wallet hurt.
"Nothing, nothing! Haha." Mo Yun smiled. "I guess that people are quite generous."
"Isn't that right?" Yasenia smiled. "I've had this happen quite a few times." Then, she warned Mo Yun seriously. "Although sometimes some people do it with hidden intentions. So you have to be careful."
"Pfft hahahaha!" Mo Yun laughed louder. "You are so adorable! Hahaha!"
The dragoness blinked a few times, not getting what was so funny. After all, for her, this kind of thing was a regular occurrence. Using gifts to court people was quite a common tactic, and some felt too awkward to say anything after Yasenia completely ignored them after snatching their gift.
So, for Yasenia, it was the generosity of the people around her. Only when the people got a bit touchy would Yasenia retaliate or throw the gift back. But, honestly speaking, whatever "gift" entered Yasenia's greedy claws, it was quite difficult to snatch back.
Yasenia looked at the figurine with curiosity. "Hm… I wonder who the artist modeled this after?"
Mo Yun looked at it and commented. "I think she is quite a famous cultivator. She appeared around half a century ago, with the cultivation level of a Fifth Realm cultivator."
"Oh? How come you know about her? Mortal Cultivators with fame must be few and far between, right?"
"That's true." Mo Yun smiled. "Still, the geniuses are easy to remember. One like her even more. She appeared in a tournament and demolished the competition. Only a few peerless geniuses were able to stand up to her. Nevertheless, she eventually won the tournament without losing once."
"That's impressive." Yasenia sincerely praised the woman. Looking closely at the figurine, Yasenia kept feeling that she looked somewhat familiar. Nevertheless, she just couldn't remember.
"Why are you interested?" Mo Yun asked.
After pondering, Yasenia spoke with uncertainty. "She just feels familiar, as if I'd seen her before. She is also similar to… one of… my wives…" Yasenia stopped walking, and her pupils shrank. Her gaze locked onto the figurine. 'Blonde hair, big breasts, round green eyes, a stern yet cute-looking appearance…' Her mouth opened a little before blurting out incredulously. "Lidia!?"
Mo Yun exclaimed. "Oh! How did you know her name? Lidia Glassheart; that's her full name. She is quite a rare Light-attributed cultivator. Were you around during the tournament?"
Yasenia didn't listen to Mo Yun's words as her head was a bit of a mess. 'Why is Angel's big sister here? I thought that the people could only be thrown to the lower Heavenly Layers after being randomly teleported by the Demon's formation!'
As she looked at the figurine, Yasenia looked at Mo Yun and asked. "What is her current realm? Where does she cultivate?"
Her tone was outwardly calm, even if inside she had received the shock of the decade. "Hm~, it is true that you like cute girls, but don't you think that aiming for a junior is a bit weird?"
Yasenia deadpanned at Mo Yun's lecturing look. "Hey, what weird things are you thinking? I am just curious."
"Right, right. That's the excuse all junior hunters say!"
"J-Junior what?" Yasenia asked, befuddled.
Mo Yun blinked. "Haven't you heard? There are some perverted immortals who aim only for juniors. They like them young. Other cultivators have coined them as Junior Hunters."
Yasenia almost choked on her saliva. Still, after thinking, her lips arched with amusement. 'I should call Mom like that at least once to see her reaction. Although thinking about it, I might end up on a bed, pinned face down…'
The dragoness cleared her throat. "Anyway, tell me about her. You know that I am a pregnant woman, so you shouldn't make those kinds of jokes."
Mo Yun teased further. "I heard that pregnant women have a spike in their libido. Who knows~?"
Looking at the teasing, cute woman, Yasenia squinted seductively. "If you want to squirm in my arms, there is no need to be so indirect."
Her low, tempting tone made people around crash, while some closed their legs and whimpered. They somehow felt violated just from the tone.
Mo Yun felt somehow tempted to become a "victim." But, knowing that provoking this seductive dragoness was a bad idea, she relented with a cough. "Ahem. I'll stop teasing you, then. From what I know, she is in a relatively high-level continent. I think it was the… 81st? Something like that. The sect she belongs to is the [Radiant Flow Sect]. They are participating this time around, so you might get to see her up close if she is chosen as one of the peak-level mortal cultivators."
Yasenia hummed. "Oh? She is still a peak-level mortal cultivator?"
"Of course." Mo Yun chuckled. "She is around 130 years old, which makes her a super genius. Not many can reach her level at her current age."
Yasenia muttered to herself. 'That's quite fast progress. Still, if she has been treated as a genius of her sect, I guess it makes sense. High-quality energy, powerful treasures, and high-level teachers. Overall, achieving peak-level mortal realm in less than 200 years is more than possible.'
In the Sky Continent, reaching the Dantian Spiritualization Realm at Yasenia's current age was a standard to divide geniuses from non-geniuses. Here, two layers above the Sky Continent's Heavenly Layer, reaching peak-level Dantian Spiritualization Realm at 100 years of age, one must be considered a super genius.
Moreover, breaking through into the Sixth Realm after reaching the peak of the mortal realms was a lengthy process. Some people took centuries to complete it.
"Hm… I guess I'll need to find a way to contact her one way or another." Yasenia sighed. 'I bet she is worried sick about Angel. Back when we met, I could easily tell how much Lidia loved Angel.'
The rest of their journey wasn't much different from a normal tour. Yasenia used it to buy a few interesting culinary plants to grow and some animals as well. After all, her spatial ring could easily hold low-level life.
When Mo Yun noticed, she was quite surprised. "That spatial ring must be powerful."
Yasenia smirked. "Don't get jealous. I think it is a Nine-Star Supreme Ranked Treasure."
"What!?" Mo Yun's eyes opened wide, and she instantly became as sour as a lemon. "Ugh. My Spatial Ring is only a Quasi-Supreme-Ranked spatial ring. Moreover, mine doesn't have the ability to keep living things inside."
Yasenia commented, extending her hand and summoning one jar of red, thick liquid. "Here, some red honey."
"Red honey!? You actually have a Scarlet Queen Bee in your spatial ring? That's an almost extinct species…" Mo Yun harrumphed as she snatched the honey jar. "You really are a dragon, eh? Your pockets are full of treasures…" Squinting dangerously, Mo Yun spoke sinisterly. "I really want to pop you like a balloon so that I can see a rain of treasures explode from that greedy belly of yours."
Yasenia picked her up like a kid and smiled gently. "Look how my baby has grown up! I could almost feel a hint of killing intent from you! Great Job!"
The eight-thousand-year-old woman was speechless. She had not been held up like this ever in her life. Still, looking down at Yasenia's smiling, gentle gaze, she felt strangely comforted and not offended. She even felt a bit reluctant when Yasenia placed her back down on the ground.
'Hm… It doesn't feel bad to be babied by Yasenia. She has this… motherly aura around her that makes one feel comforted.'
Yasenia, not knowing that she had almost tricked Mo Yun into having a mommy fetish, looked around one last time before sighing. "We should return. I don't think there is much more to look around."
Mo Yun smiled. "It's almost a month already. It's a shame that we couldn't find anyone from either the Astral Death Sect or the Radiant Flow Sect. You were quite eager to find them."
"Well, it can't be forced. I'll meet them later either way." Yasenia smiled.
Then, both of them returned and prepared to go to the place where they'd wait for the Secret Realm to open.
