Little Yasenia nears her first birthday, playfully running through the mansion and charming her mother Tatyana into bedtime reading lessons. Following a kidnapping attempt on the child, Tatyana obliterates the culprits and their kin, sending shockwaves through the capital. During her private birthday ritual, Yasenia reveals the extremely rare Sun, Moon, and Stars elements, which fuse harmoniously into the unique Celestial element and Celestial Yin and Yang body.

Once the celestial phenomena faded from the heavens, tranquility descended upon the backyard anew. Everyone present couldn't hold back their tears of joy! Meanwhile, Yasenia continued staring at the sky, lost in a daze.

“Waah *sob* our little miss is incredible!” exclaimed one maid, weeping with emotion.

“The little miss is as incredible as always, with so many phenomena during her awakening! Amazing, just like Lady Tatyana’s daughter,” declared a stern guard, nodding approvingly.

“Fortunately, Lady Tatyana foresaw this and set up the formation to block prying eyes,” said a maid, relief washing over her as she patted her chest.

“Hmph! Let’s see who dares lay a hand on our little miss. This maid will make them suffer hell while they still breathe!” snarled the maid beside her, her face twisted viciously.

The voices from behind snapped Yasenia out of her reverie, and she turned around. Spotting Tatyana, she flashed a grin revealing her fangs, forming a small V-sign with her fingers. “Mommy, Yassy didn’t disappoint you!”

Tatyana nearly dissolved from the overwhelming adorableness. She hurried over, scooped her up, and cradled her. Exhausted from the ritual, Yasenia drifted off in her mother’s arms, a sweet smile on her lips, her tail wrapped snugly around Tatyana’s waist.

Seeing the little miss asleep, the gathered people composed themselves, faces turning solemn. Tatyana spoke, “I doubt it’s needed, but none of you may speak of this. If you can, never mention it again to prevent slips. If outsiders get too nosy, handle them first and report to me after. Don’t hesitate over permissions—let none escape. You’re my trusted retainers; I demand absolute clarity above all.”

They murmured softly, careful not to disturb their little miss, “As the Lady commands.”

“Begin searching for the cultivation method called [Convergence of stars].”

Inwardly, she mused, ‘Using the two methods I discovered in ancient texts, [Convergence of the Sun] and [Convergence of the Moon], I can craft a unique cultivation technique for my precious girl. But there’s one issue.’

Gazing at the adorably slumbering Yasenia in her arms, a headache throbbed. Her constitution carried a single flaw: her lust and sexual endurance would overwhelm any single partner.

Tatyana eyed her daughter darkly, then sighed… Muttering, “It won’t be my first harem involvement. Still, I wanted her all to myself.”

She bit her lip involuntarily. “All I can do is claim the largest spot in her heart… She’s still so young anyway. Over 15 years remain before those urges shape her mind.”

She considered curbing her future wives’ numbers. “I’ll also seek a fine dual cultivation art for her. It’ll let her empower her harem, elevating them to higher realms later…”

With that, she strolled leisurely toward the house. Pausing, she wondered aloud, “What if she prefers males?”

Tatyana’s heart rebelled, ‘No way! Other women are barely tolerable; males in her harem? Never!’

She glanced at the sinking sun and sighed once more. “We’ll see how she grows. As I said, she’s tiny now. I can’t wait for fully matured Yasenia, fufufu~.”

Four years later

A captivating girl appearing nine years old—though truly just five—dashed through an obstacle course. Normal humans couldn’t navigate its perils, yet despite struggles, she progressed at a solid pace.

Sweat glistened on her brow, lending a vibrant glow to her youthful features. Her golden-red slit pupils scanned for paths ahead in the challenging layout.

Leaping high, she cleared a descending trap. Beyond it, sharp wooden spikes emerged. As she teetered toward them, she twisted her waist, smacking the gaps with her tail to rebound skyward, evading the hazard.

Pressing on, she spotted a low crawl space ahead, dropping fast. Undeterred, she dropped low, nearly scraping the ground in her sprint, tail extended straight for balance as a counterweight.

Clearing that hurdle smoothly, she scanned ahead in dismay. Automated bows with blunt arrows ringed the safe path! Painful stings awaited, even if no real harm.

Arrows flew; she dodged while pushing forward. Cornered, she flexed her tail rigid like steel, slashing arrows aside!

Sadly, sneaky side shots struck her face and waist squarely, toppling her balance amid the volley.

A stunning figure with flowing raven hair shielded her from the onslaught. With a casual wave, the woman unleashed an energy barrier, halting every arrow. Turning with a grin, she faced the girl.

Yasenia pouted unhappily. “Mom, this obstacle level is unbeatable! I always get pummeled here!”

Tatyana arched a brow. “Quitting already? That’s just your 42nd failure.”

Little Yasenia’s expression shifted; her tail thwacked the earth. “Quit? Never me! Hmph, next round, I’ll conquer it and claim that massage book you promised!”

Tatyana eyed her skeptically. “Why crave those massage manuals so much?”

Yasenia replied earnestly, “To pamper Mom, naturally! Maids mentioned this… uh, what was it?”

Scratching her head, she smacked fist to palm triumphantly. “The red-light district offers top service, even internal body massages for ultimate comfort! I want Mom comfy too!”

Tatyana’s face darkened briefly before smoothing. Her smile held, but her eyes gleamed coldly. “Which maids chattered about that near you?”

Yasenia answered honestly, a tad uncertain. “The bath cleaners after dinner? Overheard them fetching my forgotten item… I think?”

Tatyana recalled, then messaged head butler Richard. “Anyway, Yasenia, what’s next? Bath time?”

Yasenia sniffed herself, face twisting oddly. “Mom… Why’s my sweat kinda sweet? Training with guard uncles and aunties reeks horribly!”

Tatyana beamed proudly. “Your constitution’s gift. Still, bathe to shed the tackiness—even if you smell fine. Don’t you feel sticky?”

Internally: ‘Truthfully, her charm aura’s budding early. Unwashed, maids would cling endlessly. Good it’s not seductive yet—just mild affinity boost. Strong-willed resist, but maids adore her, so they bask in it! They rotate hair-brushing, dressing, even bathing duties!’

Yasenia nodded. “Fine, I’ll wash up then find you in the study!”

She bolted off summoning maids for her bath. Tatyana watched her vanish, then headed to the study.
