Yasenia immersed herself in the complex art of Transmutation, deciphering intricate formulas and material reactions. After a long session, she was interrupted by her maid, Tai Qingzhe, who was jealous of Yasenia's attention to others. Yasenia reassured Qingzhe with affection and then prepared a large meal for everyone. Meanwhile, a mysterious girl had been tracking Yasenia, driven by curiosity about the magnificent dragon. The girl, Shang Qinqin, was discovered by Yasenia and brought to her nest. Despite Qinqin's attempts to explain her presence, Yasenia claimed her as a prisoner and, after transforming into her human-like form, decided to talk with her captive.

Yasenia looked at the fidgeting woman with a confused look. Her tail moved up and down in thought, creating undulations along its resting length. She was sitting down with her dress spread out around her and her tail surrounding her. So, it was quite cute each time the tail waved.

Shang Qinqin took everything in like a starving beast on their hunting day. Her gaze was also very, very focused on the two massive mountains making their presence known right before her eyes. Each of Yasenia’s breaths caused them to gently move up and down, pushing against the tight top that showed a deep ravine she very much wanted to dive in.

"Miss Shang Qinqin."

Qinqin quickly answered. "L-Lady Dragon can call me Qinqin comfortably! No! I would prefer if you did so, Lady Dragon!"

Hearing the enthusiastic voice, Yasenia nodded without feeling anything wrong. "If that’s the case, I’ll call you Qinqin."

"Hehehehe."

Yasenia blinked, looking as the woman smiled deeply and breathed roughly. "Um... Are you okay?"

She had to act as a Tyrant Dragon, but the flush on the woman’s face as she laughed strangely caused her to worry. What if she was afflicted by some kind of poison?

Yet, right after she asked, the woman flashed forward, sticking her face right before Yasenia’s. "I-Is L-L-Lady Dragon worried about my unworthy existence!? HAaa... Ha... I am so honored!"

Yasenia barely, just barely, held back her desire to slap her and send her flying. For some reason, her Tail Dao was twitching and asking to be released. This woman needed a good tail slap!

Yasenia’s eyebrow twitched faintly. "First, stand back. Second, answer the question."

Shang Qinqin flashed back to her initial position, smiling widely. "Yes! This unworthy woman is perfectly healthy and fertile!"

Her tail twitched again, but she held it down. "I see... Also, there is no need to call yourself unworthy of the like. I am unaware of your human customs, but you can speak comfortably as well."

Shang Qinqin asked with the shy blush of a maiden in love. "T-Then, may I ask for Lady Dragon’s beautiful name?"

"Yasenia Dravory. That’s my name. You may call me Lady Yasenia if you want."

"Such a beautiful name! It is so unique and fitting for you!"

Yasenia smiled, happy that her name was praised. Her tail faintly wagged a few times, causing Shang Qinqin to almost lose it and lunge. ’Holddddddd! Hold baackkk!!! I can’t scare off Lady Yasenia!’

Unaware that the woman in front of her had almost jumped her, Yasenia continued speaking with a calm look on her face. "So, Qinqin. You come from the central area? I’ve never been there, so can you explain to me a bit about it? I was about to open my nest and make my presence known. So, I am curious about what I need to be cautious of."

"You mustn’t!"

Shang Qinqin shouted quite worriedly. "Why is there a need to make Lady Yasenia’s presence known? You might be in danger if you do so! Isn’t it better to live here for the rest of your life and have many beautiful children?"

’With me, of course!’

The woman’s brain had already forgotten that Yasenia was a woman. Strangely, she was not wrong about Yasenia’s ability to impregnate her.

To make it clear, though. Shang Qinqin was not being affected by Yasenia’s charm in the way you might imagine. Shang Qinqin’s reaction was wholly hers after seeing Yasenia’s appearance. She was someone who was quite sheltered, so the exciting situation of being kidnapped and then forced to become an attractive—emphasis on the attractive—and lustful dragon’s wife was not too far off her tastes.

The poor woman had been so starved for love that her tastes had twisted like a fruit picked far too late.

Yasenia, completely unaware that the woman before her had already imagined themselves married and having at least 10 children, continued her act as the arrogant and tyrannical dragon.

"Who are you to speak against my desires, human? If I say I want to surface, I will!"

’Argh! My gorgeous dragon wife wants to endanger herself! As her adoring partner who had given birth to 13 children, I must support her!’

For some reason, the delusions were growing stronger. After racking her brain, Shang Qinqin spoke with a serious look. "If that’s what my wif—ahem, what Lady Yasenia wants, I can’t stop you. However, please give me time! I will contact my family and make sure this area is perfectly safe for our—I mean, Lady Dragon’s future children!"

Yasenia felt something off in her speech, but since our beautiful dragoness was a block of wood for everyone other than her lovers, she glossed over it without any issue. After all, whatever the woman’s emotions, Yasenia didn’t feel any true threat. Therefore, she didn’t pay attention.

Hearing her attractive offer, Yasenia fell into thought. ’This woman’s background seems to be quite nice. I guess it is not bad to rely on her. Still, I have no guarantee that she is trying to use me and capture me. She must know cultivators who are strong enough to face us.’

From an objective standpoint, there were risks and rewards to accepting her offer. ’We are not in a rush either way. The reason we are here is to cultivate for a while, after all. Making connections and becoming a semi-relevant power will give us advantages and opportunities to participate in truly rewarding events.’

The advantage to being a rogue cultivator was that everything you got was yours.

The advantage of being part of a sect was the resources you got from the sect in exchange for your loyalty.

The advantage of owning a sect was the connections and opportunities that came with it.

All paths were attractive, and each one had its risks.

The risks of being a rogue cultivator were that you had no background and could easily be stabbed in the back.

The risks of being part of a sect were that if said sect became the enemy of a powerful sect, you could be killed without knowing why due to revenge or conflict.

The risks of owning a sect were a mix of both of the above. Without enough strength or connections, you could easily be crushed.

Yasenia’s chosen path was the third, which had the most risks. The reason was that the potential was the highest. If she could elevate the sect enough, taking over massive territories and resource nodes was the easiest. It was with this path that Yasenia took over the entirety of Distancia and became its de facto ruler.

Her plan in this world was not to take over, but she at least wanted to create an influence large enough where her daughters could arrive in the future and have an easier time. As much as she couldn’t see them, Yasenia wanted to smooth out some of the thorns in their journey as she walked forward herself.

"Hm... alright, I’ll accept your proposal, human." Yasenia lifted her chin slightly. "What do you want in exchange, human?"

Qinqin almost made a fist pump and shouted a massive "OH YEAH!" to the heavens. Thankfully, not to startle her future? Wife, she was able to hold back with monstrous willpower. Instead, she smiled prettily and answered. "Oh, there is not much Lady Yasenia needs to do. Lady Yasenia only needs to become very close to me!"

Yasenia frowned. ’What is she playing at? Didn’t I just kidnap her? She must’ve some resentment in her... If that were the case, is this a way to try and make me reflect on my actions and ask for forgiveness? Hm... Well, that’s not a problem. In the first place, I acted this way for fun. I didn’t plan to do anything bad to her.’

In a way, this was an advantage that fell onto her lap by pure chance. So, asking for forgiveness was not a problem. Not right away, though. Yasenia couldn’t completely break character. If Shang Qinqin knew that the reason she was kidnapped was just for fun, she might become angry and cancel everything she had offered up to this point.

’I can take advantage of her using her family to get away from here and ask for my forgiveness.’

Believing that, Yasenia looked at the woman and snorted. "You want to ask for my forgiveness? Human, you are far too arrogant. Still, your offer is attractive. If you show me good enough advantages, I might reluctantly agree to become closer to you."

With Yasenia’s seductive features and body, her arrogant acting could only be described as flirting. Shang Qinqin blushed. ’Oh my! Was Lady Dragon of the same heart as me!? Did she take me here to make me her wife, but doing so straight away is too embarrassing for a prideful dragon. Therefore, she is discussing things in a roundabout way to make me hers!? Aahhhh! Why is my wife of 16 children so adorable! I will give her another child because she is so cute!’

As the number of children in Shang Qinqin’s head grew in numbers, the woman nodded and answered with a serious nod. "That’s a matter of course, Lady Yasenia. This humble girl will offer enough treasures for you to be satisfied and make a connection with us."

Yasenia smiled. "That sounds good, human. I expect good things from you!"

Yasenia: ’Heh. I knew it. She is using treasures to get away from here. I must make sure our relationship becomes a touch better before I let her go so that we can continue working together later.’

Shang Qinqin: ’Ahh! Look at her acting so humbly! Whatever is mine, it is yours, wife! Of course, the resources for our future 21 children will naturally come from my pocket; you just need to be pretty and impregnate me whenever you can! Ilovemywifeverymuch!’

So, as their misunderstandings deepened, Yasenia and Shang Qinqin came to an agreement.

Yasenia used her tail to stand up and looked down at Shang Qinqin. "Since you said you are going to give me valuables, I can’t let you stay here. This is my nest for my dragon form. I have another nest for my human form. I will take you there for a while."

Qinqin blushed deeply. ’Oh my! Are we already moving to our future house? Is it time for our honeymoon!? Wife, you don’t need to move this fast; my heart can’t take it! Ahhh!’

Yasenia used her energy to drag her and then flew off toward the other area. This place was visited by her maids and such. It was also a place where Yasenia entered for closed-door cultivation. ’I can’t let her meet my family yet. Even when I don’t feel any malice from her, she might use Asterion or Feixue as hostages if I am not careful. Let’s leave her here for a while, and when our relationship becomes better, I can show her to my family.’
