Heaven, Earth, Me Chapter 1728. Preparing for the After Hunt.
Previously on Heaven, Earth, Me...
When everyone returned to the large prairie, the ones waiting for them were the Empress, the Emperor, and some of the Princes and Princesses. It was, after all, a Royal Hunt. The presence of the royals was expected.
Yasenia even noticed the ostentatiously dressed guards behind them. Their golden armor gleamed in the sunlight, and their swords rose straight into the sky, as if to tell the people they were ready to fight even the Heavens for the Emperor.
The Emperor stepped forward, and the entire world fell silent. Not even the wind moved as his overbearing aura pressed down on everyone. “Today marks the end of the Royal Hunt. Some of you returned with riches, some of you returned empty-handed, and some of you didn’t return. The wilds are dangerous, and even with our powers, you must not forget the risk. Those who failed to return today are your reminder. A reminder that we want to make sure you remember.”
While everyone listened, many were genuinely shocked. The Emperor’s words meant that everyone who wasn’t here was already gone, lost in the wilderness.
One of the Half-Step Demons in the Royal Court stepped forward and knelt down. “I greet the Sun of the Empire! This humble one wants to know if Your Majesty’s forces have searched thoroughly.”
The Emperor looked at him and answered indifferently. “We have. No one else is in the Royal Hunt Territory. Whoever is missing now will be missing forevermore.”
The Demon’s face crumpled. “Your Majesty, are you saying that 99% of the incubi who entered, except for a junior and other rogue ones, have gone missing?”
The Emperor spoke one more time. “Not missing. They’ve been confirmed dead. Now, let’s move on to the rewards. For those who have hunted the most, and for those who have gathered the most treasures…”
Yasenia listened as many suspicious gazes fell on her. ‘Now that I think about it, don’t I have the high-level incubus in my spatial ring?’
She had to take it to cook it for Asterion and Andrea. After cooking, it would probably give a nice boost to stamina and other areas of the body. Incubi were known for their sexual prowess, but it was also what hid their other specialties.
Without combat capabilities, Incubi would be little more than playthings. The strongest talent of Incubi besides sexual feats was body strengthening. Using their immense Yang Energy to create scorching fire, boost their physique, and more made Incubi a feared race beyond their charm tactics.
About 400 families participated in total. As Yasenia expected, their family clan ranked in the top 50, which was high, but not high enough to catch people’s attention. She received congratulations from some of the families she created connections with, and Yasenia answered in kind.
The rest of the day was a celebration and a banquet. Yasenia was not too eager for this banquet, but she nonetheless had to attend. Thankfully, Yasenia could send her dears back home. So, without a shred of doubt, Yasenia told Cecile, Andrea, and Angel to go back with half of the maids.
She left behind Kali, Tatyana, and Evelyn to help her with the banquet. Even if Kali was pregnant, she was an expert in alchemy and other poison-related skills. So, having her around would be a strength, not a weakness, despite her pregnant status.
Of course, Angel and Mirrory could also be a plus, but that’s precisely why she sent her back. To guard their home now that every powerhouse had returned.
Either way, Yasenia was thinking about what to wear. She sat in a dressing room with Kali, Evelyn, and Tatyana. Dressing Yasenia up was something the girls liked to do quite a lot. Let’s be honest, Yasenia looked good even if she wore a potato sack.
However, what the girls liked to do was try to change her overall charm. For example, making Yasenia look seductive was incredibly simple. Cleavage, a cinched waist, and a slit on the side of the dress, and Yasenia became a walking allure bomb.
However, could they dress her up to bring out other parts of her looks? Elegance? Perhaps, heroicness? Otherworldliness? Purity?
Those were the attributes they wanted to try to bring out, and overshadowing her raw allure was a nice challenge.
Kali was rubbing her chin as she glanced at the dresses Evelyn had prepared this time around. “Say, Evelyn.”
“Yes?”
“Do you tailor dresses for Yasenia in your free time or something?”
Evelyn crossed her arms and looked at the subspace where she kept all the clothes she had sewn. “Why would you think that?”
Kali’s eyebrow twitched as she glanced at the, quite literally, nine-story-tall wardrobe full of different dresses. It was also deep enough that Kali calculated this wardrobe alone had over 5,000 different dresses. Then, she glanced to the side and saw over 10 more equally large and stacked wardrobes.
‘Is it even possible to create so many different designs?’
For Evelyn, it was. Imagining Yasenia wearing them made the girl drool, so her fingers moved before her brain could. Tatyana picked one of the dresses and blinked. “...This one doesn’t have a crotch area or the nipple area.”
Evelyn answered with a professional tone. “Of course it doesn’t. That’s a reverse dragon suit to let Yasenia’s crotch and bosom open while covering the rest. It even comes with a mask! Showing off her best features while covering the rest allows the viewer to focus on what’s important!”
Yasenia picked the dress, and with a flash, she changed into it, posing for the girls. “So… Shall I wear this one?”
Kali raised her hand to her nose as she looked away. ‘Okay. I understand what Evelyn meant. Wow. I mean. Wow. Oh my Heavens. Wow.’
Tatyana smiled at Yasenia. “If you dare to wear this in public, I’ll cut your little tail as punishment and make you cook it.”
Yasenia instantly reverted back to her usual, revealing blue dress. “T-There is no need to scare me that much, was there?”
Tatyana burst into laughter and raised her eyebrow. “Still, you’ll be wearing that dress and won’t take it off our next night together. Evelyn, I’ll take it for now.”
Evelyn shrugged. “Go ahead. I must say, though. There is only one dress per design. You can find variations, but nothing that’s identical.”
Since Yasenia was dressed in her usual clothes, Kali could finally look back. “Why did you choose to do that?”
Evelyn sighed and tilted her head at a perfect upward angle. “The ways of the dao can’t be trod twice. I am searching for the ultimate piece of clothing. One that can make me orgasm with just a look. You wouldn’t understand.”
Feeling everyone's gazes on her, Evelyn shamelessly puffed out her small chest. “What? I know I’ve become charming, but there is no need to look so intently.”
“How about this one, Young Miss?”
It wasn’t just the girls. The maids gathered around were also looking for something nice to wear. Yasenia glanced toward Star Forge and almost burst into laughter. “...An armored dress?”
Star Forge raised her eyebrow with confidence. “Every woman at the banquet will likely wear an elegant, refined, and feminine dress to impress others. This dress isn't too heavy, but it has the heroic feel of a battle-hardened hero. But, over that, it focuses on your side breasts. It is tight in the middle, which causes your bosom to bloom to the sides. Wearing this will cause Young Ladies and Young Masters all around to drool.”
Yasenia approached and changed into it. She even took out Draheart and transformed her into a longsword form. Then, she posed with her back straight and wore a serious yet confident look.
“How is it?”
Valeria commented, her eyes sparkling. “I was doubtful at first, but Star Forge’s words have merit. Wow. You look great.”
Yasenia turned to Star Forge and noticed the woman staring blankly at her body. Unlike others, Star Forge didn’t show it on her face, but Yasenia could perfectly tell that Star Forge was internally drooling right now. Feeling mischievous, she approached and looked down at the woman, using her height.
A single lifted Star Forge’s chin to meet eye to eye. “Young lady, how about you come into my arms tonight~? I promise to gallop through an intense battlefield until we collapse, only the two of us.”
Star Forge’s face flared up red. Yasenia struck with merciless precision, right in her preferences, then twisted the sword. It was, undoubtedly, a K.O.
Yasenia found Star Forge adorable and laughed, but her laughing face was a critical hit to the woman who was already done for. To calm the heart rate that Yasenia could hear from where she stood, she lowered her face and kissed Star Forge deeply for a few seconds.
In the end, the woman wound her arms around Yasenia’s neck and, after a few moments, dropped to the floor with a dazed smile. ‘Ah… How right I was to become her maid back then. I can’t wait to give her at least two children~.’
“You are lucky that you girls are still too green to go all the way, or you’d have needed to participate in the banquet with your baby room full~.”
Yasenia gently caressed her face with her tail and turned around. “So, do I wear this one?”
Everyone nodded quite rapidly, and Yasenia approached the mirror.
Her plated white-and-silver skirt almost reached the floor, while the tight upper dress hugged her curves and pressed against them. Without the few silvery armor plates at her waist and under her breasts, it would look more like a white swimsuit than a proper battle dress.
Moreover, as Star Forge said, the front being pressed and the dress covering up to Yasenia’s neck meant Yasenia’s massive breasts spilled at the sides, giving her heroic appearance undeniable allure.
Her back was incredibly seductive, as most of it was naked, with only the dress’s neck-hugging piece covering part of it. A bow-tie-like knot sat at the top, with a few ethereal-looking cloth strips that waved with her movements, like a split cape.
Sitting down where many makeup tools were gathered. “Anna, Eve, Cai Xue, you know what to do.”
Cai Xue had become Yasenia’s official hairdresser after winning a competition, earning the other maids’ recognition. So, she approached to take care of her hair.
Anna was the more easygoing headmaid, but she was keen on detail. So, she approached to take care of her accessories.
Eve was meticulous and serious, but she knew perfectly how to draw out Yasenia’s different facets with makeup. So she was in charge of it.
Cai Xue thought for a moment and decided to style Yasenia’s raven-black hair into double braids. Then Anna picked a few golden accessories Yasenia could wear without looking tacky, thanks to her golden-slit eyes and cosmic blue tail with golden rings.
Finally, Evelyn chose to sharpen Yasenia’s gaze with makeup, painting her lips a slightly darker shade to show solemnity.
She didn’t need to touch the eyebrows, as their naturally straight form already added to her heroic look. The eyelashes were slightly thickened, but not much since Yasenia had natural fan-like, curved lashes.
When she was done, Yasenia stood up, hung Draheart at her side, and turned around with a sharp, confident look. “Then, shall we go to the next battlefield?”
The girls had to hold back from pouncing on her. She looked divine.
