Andrea forged a frost and fire sword marred by Princess Tao's squeal, resulting in a lower-ranked treasure, while enduring the princess's persistent affections and a forced engagement decreed by her father. Biding her time to grow stronger than the king, Andrea tempers her resolve amid mounting grudges. Yasenia, sensing a distant call, shattered the talent pillar to accelerate her descent through Heavenly Layers, arriving to a joyous welcome from her 300 devoted maids.

Overwhelmed by intense emotions in that instant, Yasenia gazed at the three hundred beaming women ahead of her. Detecting the remarkable improvements in their cultivation compared to earlier, turbulent waves surged through her heart. 

Gazing at all of them around her, a pang of guilt stirred within Yasenia. These three hundred women had endured absolute torment—a ruthless selection of the elite—and likely witnessed the deaths of many familiar faces during the brutal training that elevated them to their present ranks. 

Their trials were hardly milder than her own, yet nearly all of these 300 women hadn't laid eyes on her since she departed at 18 years old. 

She advanced slowly, her expression softening as she revealed her most sincere smile. “Thank you for waiting for me. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for working so hard and… I am eager to fight by your side from now on.” 

The maids felt emotions just as powerfully as Yasenia did. Having watched the tiny infant blossom into a poised young lady, they now beheld Yasenia and could scarcely recognize her anymore. 

That half-black, half-golden dragon tail had evolved into an empyrean, starlit, cosmic-blue tail adorned with golden rings. 

Although her height remained largely unchanged, a more voluptuous and mature physique now enhanced it, rendering her appearance vastly different from the past. 

The form-fitting blue dress, which glowed with otherworldly radiance as it clung to her curves, radiated immense, formidable power. 

Finally, her facial features. 

The once youthful, vibrant, and subtly arrogant traits had matured into serene, deep, and deliberately alluring ones. Her eyes, movements, and overall presence evoked a seasoned ruler—one who had danced on the edge of life and death countless times, always crushing mortality and emerging triumphant. 

Though it didn't truly scar her, a subtle weariness from worldly trials lingered in her warm golden eyes, revealing the vast experiences Yasenia had gathered on her journeys. 

How desperately every single one of them longed to have stood by her side.

How fiercely every single one yearned to embrace Yasenia and cradle her against their bosoms for respite and healing. 

Yet, they knew it was precisely this version of Yasenia who could unfurl her wings and conquer the heavens. 

No matter what, Yasenia remained their cherished, gifted, and stunningly beautiful Young Miss. That truth was unshakeable, sealed by oaths sworn long ago that this dragoness would be their entire world. 

Standing behind Yasenia, Cai Xue and the other three sensed overwhelming pressure. Despite being the ones who supposedly understood Yasenia best, the unwavering trust and devotion in the gazes of the three hundred maids made each of them feel inadequate for the first time in ages. 

Yasenia advanced further, spreading her arms to embrace the two petite blonde women leading the group. “It has been a while, Anna, Eve.” 

The twins, enveloped by her now deeper and more captivating scent, shut their eyes tightly as they returned the hug. “Once more, welcome back, Young Miss.” 

Yasenia stayed quiet, holding them in an emotional embrace for several minutes. Afterward, she proceeded to the next maid, in no rush at all. She lingered with each one, offering hugs and sharing brief words. 

Furthermore, while embracing them, Yasenia's possessive instincts were far from idle. She deliberately infused her scent onto every one, claiming them exclusively as her own.

The maids detected it immediately, yet far from objecting, they willingly relaxed their bodily defenses, allowing Yasenia's essence to seep deeply into their cores. 

Embracing 300 people, each for several minutes, demanded a substantial amount of time; it wasn't until ten hours later that she completed it! 

In the meantime, Tatyana had confirmed with Anna and Eve about their booking for travel to a lower Heavenly Layer, and both affirmed it. They had even foreseen Yasenia's prolonged reunion, scheduling it two days ahead. 

Tatyana chuckled. “Comfortable~.” 

Anna inquired, puzzled. “What is comfortable?” 

Tatyana smirked. “Having you around. Everything just… flows. Sigh, truly worthy of being the top two of all of my trainees for Yasenia’s personal maid training.” 

Anna and Eve offered faint smiles, their composure barely shifting. This poise once again left Cai Xue and the others in awe. 

Eve turned her strict gaze toward them, appraising their outfits. As her eyes swept over the group, they all tensed up, as though facing the scrutiny of some primordial beast. “Hm… You four should be the maids Yasenia took in during our absence, am I right?” 

Cai Xue stepped forward, replying in a formal manner. “Yes, Head Maid.” 

Eve's stern expression softened just a bit from that answer, yet hardly enough. “Good that you're not becoming arrogant from spending more time with Young Miss. Keep in mind, we're all equals. Each one of us devotes body and soul to serving Yasenia. Arrogance has no place among us.” 

“Understood, Head Maid.” 

Anna, far more upbeat than Eve, grinned at them. “Relax a little. Your talents seem fairly average. No need to fret though—after finishing the training on Sky Continent, you'll rise anew from ashes, blood, tears, and agony.” 

The four nearly teared up. Yet, they replied steadily, faces unchanged. “Understood, Head Maid!” 

“Anna, Eve, quit frightening them like that.”

The oppressive presence from the maids dissolved in an instant, smiles blooming as they turned to their Young Miss. Anna laughed lightly. “Got it, Young Miss. I figured a warning beforehand would toughen their bodies a touch before starting.” 

Yasenia gave a helpless smile, refusing to contradict. Truth be told, though details escaped her, Yasenia knew full well she'd endure torment in the training those 300 women had survived.

“What's the plan then?” 

Eve responded promptly, dipping into a shallow bow. “Young Miss, we'll head directly to the Heavenly Layer Portal site. The route to Madam Andrea’s world is all set. Expect no more than three weeks barring any mishaps.” 

“Three weeks?” Yasenia's eyes widened as she glanced at Tatyana. “Didn't you mention a few months?” 

Tatyana lifted her shoulders casually. “No clue. Your maids excel at magic tricks. With your rush, they must've pulled strings without telling me. They're yours, after all, not mine.” 

The maids showed no unease at her words. Indeed, these 300 would charge into death against Tatyana at Yasenia's command. 

Naturally, such extremes didn't define their respect. Every single one held deep admiration for Tatyana. But their loyalty bound solely to Yasenia, no others. 

Yasenia laughed softly and nodded, her tail brushing Anna while her hand patted Eve. “En. They're the best~.” 

Both maids' eyes crinkled in delight. 

From behind Yasenia, a maid nearly matching her height and curves chuckled. “Young Miss, ready to set off? Leave everything to us.” 

Yasenia beamed. “Sure, I get it, Xyrona.” 

Xyrona winked mischievously, grinning. “We gotta spar soon, Young Miss. Curious about your giant sword mastery now.” 

Xyrona had taught Yasenia the most about weapons. She sparked Yasenia's love for—and choice to master—giant swords. 

Xyrona ranked among the top, if not the strongest, close-combat brawlers in the maid ranks. Her cultivation sat at Fifth Level Transcendence Realm, not lofty. Yet, like every maid, her Intent Domains matched her realm perfectly. 

Yasenia grinned slyly. “You may not stand a chance against me, Xyrona.” 

Xyrona's eyes narrowed briefly, then her aura erupted fiercely. 

BOOM!

Yasenia's pupils shrank, sensing danger from her. Behind, Cai Xue and the trio broke into cold sweats. Xyrona's pressure mirrored Yasenia's own. 

A difference existed, of course—Yasenia's power was formidable. Still, the aura alone warned Yasenia a quick win against Xyrona lay out of reach.

Scanning the group, Yasenia eyed each maid, realizing they all hit at least Third Level Sixth Realm, mastering spirit, soul, and body paths flawlessly. Their foundations stood unshakeable as boulders!

Star Forge swallowed hard, baffled. “H-How do they keep getting stronger one after another? Competing to out-absurd each other?” 

Among the maids, Star Forge fixated on a “white” one. Hair, eyes, skin, maid outfit, waist-hung sword—all snowy pure. 

Far from frail, she evoked a blade hidden in frost, poised to strike anytime. 

Eira sensed the stare, her pale eyes shifting. Their gazes locked, and Star Forge's eyes stung like sword thrusts. ‘Heavens! Who is that?’ 

Yasenia caught the subtle exchanges but let them be. Rivalry fueled her maids' drive. She remembered monthly Sky Continent rankings swinging wildly—number 240 surging to 56, or dropping fast. 

Essentially, they consumed one another, growing ever more powerful and forming a virtuous feedback loop.

Yasenia clapped her hands to draw everyone's focus. “Alright, my darling appears to be facing some trouble, so we must hurry and depart. Let’s head to the portal and check for more of those talent thingies that I can smash to speed through even faster.”

Anna gave a slight bow and gestured to the side. “This way, Young Miss. There are indeed talent steles nearby. We collected them for you, but if Young Miss claims them, we could receive even greater privileges.”

Thus, Yasenia approached, smashed the stele with a punch, cracked it open, and swiftly gained a path downward.

She descended from the Sublime Heaven mid-layer into the low-layer. From there, she dropped to the Exalted Heaven's highest layer, the location of the Sky Continent.

At this spot, Cai Xue and the other three parted ways along with Tatyana’s main body, while Tatyana’s secondary body linked up with her.

Afterward, they descended from the highest layer one more level, reaching the domain inhabited by Sixth Level Transcendence Realm cultivators.

Exalted Heaven divides into low, mid, and high layers, each demarcating the major stages within the Sixth Realm.
