Heaven, Earth, Me Chapter 500: Valeria's Shortcoming. Tatyana's Discovery. (+Bonus Chapter)

Then, Tatyana closed the door, leaving behind a puzzled Valeria and a wryly smiling Kali.

Kali took out the [Body Scent Absorbing Pearl] and activated it. The transparent sphere the size of an apple pulsed, and every fluid in the room evaporated, creating a mist. Then, the absorption force of the item sucked everything in rapidly.

The room filled with the smell of their mixed scent was soon free of it.

Kali opened the window, and fresh air from the outside entered. She saw people below, and her eyes opened wide, remembering she was still butt naked.

However, the heart-rising moment was just a second before she remembered the formations shielded the view from the outside.

"My heavens, that scared me for a moment."

Valeria laughed and used a vine to yank Kali into her embrace.

The giant lady's softness soon surrounded Kali, her large breasts resting on top of her head.

Kali blushed as the green lady's member hit her back and went along her spine. "Cough, Valeria, please hide your dick. It is touching my back."

"Hoh? But I feel you like it."

"I do, Valeria. However, did you not hear what I spoke with Tatyana? No intimate contact without Yasenia's presence. Even if Tatyana didn't say so, I wouldn't have intimate contact with you if Yasenia was not present." Kali said earnestly.

"Even if she gives us the go-ahead?" Valeria asked with apparent confusion.

Kali nodded. "Yes. Having permission is not synonymous with an obligation to do things like that. Unless necessary, I want to avoid close intimate contact with you if Yasenia is not present."

"Strange." Muttered Valeria.

Kali felt the thing slowly shrinking and sliding down her back, giving her chills.

The thing fell between the root of her three tails and electrocuted her.

Then, it disappeared.

'That was an experience.' Kali sighed.

Our fox understood why Tatyana was against Valeria joining Yasenia's lovers' group. Her dearest Nature Spirit Queen did not understand the concept of "Love and Relationship."

For the Spirit Queen, relationships are based on four things: closeness, willingness to copulate, the possibility of betrayal, and compatibility of genes to give birth to children.

Closeness was related to trust, not feelings of love. Valeria trusted Yasenia, and Valeria knew that Yasenia trusted her. The possibility of betrayal was minimal with Yasenia since she greatly loved Kali, and Valeria felt it. The other two things, well, they just got confirmed during their night session.

Therefore, for Valeria, Yasenia was already close enough to enter a relationship with her. However, for Tatyana, these feelings were too volatile. Not to mention, Yasenia herself does not want Valeria in her harem.

Although Yasenia is balancing the "concubines" idea, she is still thinking about it. It will take a lot of time to reach a conclusion finally.

Valeria sighed and fell back onto the too-small bed. Kali fell with her. Her head squished between her giant breasts as only part of the ceiling was visible because the huge tits blocked her periphery.

"What am I missing? Do you know, Kali?"

Kali shook her head. "Valeria, it is difficult to explain. Moreover, even if you understand, you'll probably not know how to tackle it. It is not in your Nature, and that's not wrong. You are a Spirit born from Heaven and Earth. You've lived for many years and have your own ideas. Tatyana is honestly just being stubborn because she doesn't want Yasenia to have more close lovers."

Valeria. "Hm, I understand."

"Also, Yasenia herself doesn't love you, Valeria. She is comfortable with you, she doesn't mind having intercourse with you, but she doesn't love you."

"Love? That's right. It is an emotion that fleshy beings have to find a mate and copulate to reach the following generations. We, spirits, can reproduce alone. Hence, we don't need those feelings."

Kali turned around and climbed up her body, placing her waist between Valeria's breasts as she hugged her neck. "Valeria. Don't worry. I love you very much, even as you currently are. You are my savior, guardian, teacher, and guide. You are someone I will trust until the day I vanish from this world."

Valeria suddenly felt her heart skip a beat and blinked twice, unaware of what that feeling was. She couldn't help but find the scarred face of her Master cuter than before and more attractive.

She gently smiled and impulsively kissed Kali's forehead. "I see. Thank you, Kali."

Kali fluttered her eyes, feeling that kiss carry a strange warmth with it. Her three tails wagged, and she smiled.

The wag of her tails suddenly made her remember them.

She hastily stood up and walked toward a full-body mirror. This action brought Valeria's heart sweetness since Kali approaching a mirror in the past would have been something out of the question.

Our fox jumped away from Valeria's body and approached a full-body mirror.

"Look, Valeria! Three tails! Moreover, I've advanced in cultivation! I'm in the middle of the second level!"

Valeria smiled and stood up, almost hitting the high ceiling. Then, she walked behind Kali with everything still in sight and smiled. "Good Job Kali. You did very well. The tails look gorgeous."

Kali looked at the giant lady's body swaying and blushed as her three tails wagged. "Valeria, aren't you tired?"

Valeria blinked and smiled. "A little Unification Realm junior can't tire me even if she were the succubus progenitor herself at that level. However, I feel like my evolution path has slightly deviated."

Kali was stunned. "Really?"

Valeria nodded. "Either way, I wasn't supposed to have golden slit pupils. My pupils should be normal and black. Not to mention, taking this shape is very unusual. My body shape has always been more slender and more elegant, similar to Tatyana's body shape."

Kali asked. "Could you also, um, grow a penis?"

"No. That's also new. I think Yasenia has influenced me via you because she feeds you daily with her energy. I feed on your energy, so I've also been feeding on Yasenia's energy."

"Now, I can feel a deviation from my usual growth path. I could've stopped it, to be honest. However, something inside me tells me not to do so and allows everything to develop naturally. Very strange."

Kali turned around and almost choked. Her height made it just perfect to have Valeria's genitals right before her face. 'Whoa, she is similar to Yasenia even here… Not! What are you looking at, pervert Fox!'

She coughed and looked up past the impossible-to-ignore green mountains and asked. "Is it a good thing?"

Valeria walked back to the bed and sat. "Yes. I'm stronger than I should be. The path's limits are the only thing unclear to me. My final evolution with my usual path would be reaching the [Divine Nature Spirit Goddess] realm. Now, I'm not sure."

Kali gulped. 'A divine what now?'

Valeria smiled. "Well, let's leave unimportant things aside. Do you want to have a bath, Kali?"

Kali wanted to scream. 'This is not unimportant!'

However, our fox knew that when a senior acted like this, it meant that it was not time to learn about it yet. "Sure. How about I try and massage you, Valeria? I've been learning from Yasenia's massages."

"Hm? The ones where she makes you twitch and squirt? Your face looks quite loose when she massages you like that."

'Why is she so direct!?' Kali blushed, but she answered anyway. "Cough, yes, those."

"Sure. Let's try them. I've always wanted to receive one."

Meanwhile, Tatyana was in her room, bathing Yasenia slowly and with care. Her hands had a special soap, and she slowly cleaned Yasenia's body.

Tatyana felt nothing about what happened, just a bit annoyed with Valeria because she didn't understand basic concepts. 'Well, it's not like a Spirit will learn these things. They do not make sense to them, after all. Only time can tell if she becomes someone worthy of Yasenia or not.'

The Death Empress remembered that Valeria had come inside, so she used her fingers and cleaned Yasenia's insides to avoid accidents. 'She is unconscious, so I can't risk it.'

Yasenia was so tired that she didn't twitch during the whole bath, even with this much movement. Tatyana's presence reassured the dragoness, so she slept like a log.

Tatyana smiled helplessly. "Sigh. Little treasure, you always go far and above for us…." Tatyana caressed Yasenia's face and smiled lovingly, kissing her lips once.

"Calling you little treasure is truly fitting. Let's see, can I do something about the Blood Essence expenditure? Hm…"

Tatyana observed Yasenia's dantian and smirked. 'Oh? The weakened Yin energy of the Spirit Queen! At least this will increase her cultivation by a lot, as she absorbs it slowly, it should reduce her cultivating time by half until the third level.'

Tatyana frowned. 'Why could Yasenia absorb it? It should be too strong… Hmm…'

Tatyana pondered. 'I've been holding back my Yin energy quite a bit. Maybe I don't have to hold it back so much? What is keeping it at bay?'

Tatyana observed the strange "solar system" Dantian she had and saw that the little Celestial Energy Star in the middle was releasing a powerful aura that made the Yin energy tame. 'Whoa! Is it that influential? I may have been underestimating the Celestial Energy.'

Tatyana then frowned. "Tsk. I can't do anything about the Blood Essence. This is one of the secrets cultivators have failed to decipher even until now. Or at least, the book I've read doesn't have anything substantial besides effects, uses, and how to aid natural regeneration with external treasures. There is nothing about directly 'healing' it."

Tatyana cradled her little treasure and took out a plant. She was about to feed it to Yasenia but stopped. 'Right, she can't chew.'

Without a single shred of hesitation, she placed it in her mouth and chewed. Then, she leaned down and fed Yasenia slowly.

Yasenia began dreaming about a tasty paste entering her mouth and eagerly swallowed in her dream. 'So yummy~. It has a bit of Mommy's taste. Delicious.'

Tatyana saw Yasenia licking and then smacking her lips. "So yummy~."

Tatyana had to stifle her laughter. "Why are you so cute, little treasure?"

Then, she carried Yasenia princess carry and laid her on the bed. The other girls had already come, Kali included, and all leaned around the dragoness, not minding her nakedness.

Angel looked at how fluffy the three tails looked and decided to sleep on them. Evelyn took the chance and took Yasenia's body for herself.

Then, all the girls asked Kali about the experience, and Kali didn't hide anything from them. They were all her family, so Kali was deeply fond of them, and so were they.

Not in a romantic tone, but a familiar one…. Well, Angel's love for Tatyana may exceed the familiar love.

The next morning came, but they didn't leave the inn because Yasenia was still asleep. She had used a lot of stamina against a senior, and she was burned.

Evelyn looked up, still lying on top of Yasenia, and asked. "Valeria, did you suck out her soul or something?"

Valeria answered mentally. 'My bad. I didn't expect her to be so delicious. Kali and I sucked her dry last night.'

Andrea commented. "That's quite the accomplishment. Anyway, let's stand up and leave. Do not bother our sleeping beauty."

Cecile said. "I want to see her sleep."

Andrea smiled. "Sure. If you are silent, I won't stop anybody from seeing her sleeping. It is quite a beautiful image, after all."

"Cecile, I want you to do something. Sorry, but you can't look at her today."

Cecile looked at Tatyana and easily nodded. "What do you want, Tatyana?"

Tatyana then asked Cecile to go with the two S.L.U.T. fans to find the others and see if they were still around.

Cecile nodded and left together with Kali. Kali was now one of the strongest combatants, as she had increased a level and multiplied her might.

Moreover, the recently nourished Valeria was extremely powerful. As she was now, she would probably be able to best Tatyana or Mirrory.

AUTHOR NOTE: Hello, dears. Although this extra chapter will be heavy for a celebration. It is something I've been working on for a while, and when is it better to release than as an extra chapter to celebrate the 500th chapter?

SPOILER for the chapter between the stars. You can read without reading it, or reading it, you choose.

*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The following text happens five years into Yasenia's trial. It tells the first time Yasenia lost one of the girls. It is opposite of the usual HEM chapters, as it is harsh. However, I hope you give it a chance at an appropriate time. Reading it before bed is not recommended.

*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Also, this is her after the first five years, remember she stayed twenty-two here.

Have a great day, read with a steady heart, and many, many hugs, dears.

************************

It had already been five years since Yasenia had begun the trial. During this time, her personality had undergone many changes.

Yasenia has changed from the initial approachable and smiling dragoness into an indifferent and stoic woman. Her only motive, desire, and focus seemed to be to win the war many considered lost.

"Yasenia, you should rest. You've been training for twenty hours, and we have a battle in five hours." The woman who spoke was Yasenia's second in command.

Yasenia swung her sword and danced with it elegantly, interlocking attacks with her tail, punches, and kicks.

She was much more elegant and refined than her previous brutish sword style that relied on pure strength. The dragoness realized that her strength was only a bit better than the average fighter in this war, so her previous tactics were quickly smashed one by one.

Only fighting smartly could make her feel like she could make a difference. Her skills were strong, her tail was a powerful trait, and her body was strong. Using all of this efficiently allowed her to dominate the battlefield.

Yasenia knew that if she wanted to increase in the strength ladder of this Trial, she needed to perfect these as much as she could.

She was at the Half-Step of the Mental Nourishing Realm. Hence, she didn't truly need sleep or rest. Cultivating for an hour was enough to recharge her energy and mental condition.

"Yasenia… I don't understand your fixation on this War. Why don't we leave the country together? My sisters and I are all worried for you."

Yasenia stopped her sword dance and looked at the beautiful woman. "I told you since day one. I either finish this war, or I die trying. If any of you want to leave, you are free to do so and bear the consequences."

Yasenia's cold and aloof tone made the woman tremble for a second. She could be called the closest one to her. But they could all feel that Yasenia's heart was as cold as stone, and her closeness to them was only physical closeness.

"Sigh, Yasenia. How about we relax together for a while? We all want to support you in battle, but resting is also important."

Yasenia walked to her side. She was clad in full-body silver armor. However, even this armor could not hide the perfect body curves of the dragoness, making the woman gulp.

"Relax together? Or do you want me to fuck all of you? Stop the nonsense and prepare for battle."

The woman paled a bit and looked at her disappearing back. The triple-sectioned tail with the first third black, the second third blue with golden rings, and then the last part of the entirely golden tail tip swayed with Yasenia's body, making her steps naturally seductive as her waist balanced from side to side with each step.

"Well, even if she is like that… I can feel she at least cares for us."

Yasenia walked to the top of a tower in the camp and sighed. "Will they forgive me?"

Yasenia's mutter was carried in the wind, and nobody heard it. She didn't know who she was speaking about, her dears, or the virtual women she was using without remorse for her goals.

Every sensation here was too real, and sometimes Yasenia had to meditate to remember where she was.

Often times she became too engrossed in killing enemies and almost lost her mind.

Yasenia looked to the horizon, and her sharp eyes could spot their enemy's camp. "We are five thousand, and they have eight thousand. I need to perform extra well, or the defeat can become tragic. Moreover, my promotion to the general rank will slow down by a lot if I lose. I may also lose one of those girls…."

Yasenia thought of the harem she was building in this trial where everything was not real. 'Sorry, but I can't love any of you. My heart must remain steady.'

She sunk into her mind and remembered her dears. Angel's sweet smile, Cecile's refreshing presence, Kali's scarred face, Evelyn's mischievous laugh, and Andrea's pampering gaze. Then, she remembered her mother's caring red eyes, which looked over her and protected her from the shadows. 'Good, their faces are still clear to me.'

Yasenia took a deep breath and exhaled. "Maybe, I should write a note or diary. I don't want to forget anything about them. I should read it before I leave this place so that Angel and the others don't find anything wrong with me…."

Yasenia frowned. "Angel and the others? Since when did I stop calling them my dears? It is happening more and more often…."

"Yasenia~."

The dragoness heard the sweet voice of a girl, and Angel's face flashed in her mind. However, she knew that this voice was not hers.

Angel's voice was silvery and soft like cotton, making you feel she was lovely, pure, and with a transparent heart like glass.

This one was sweet, like candy, and cheery, making you feel like she was a vivacious and gentle girl.

The dragoness turned around, her face cold, and looked at the short black-haired girl smiling at her. The petite woman walked forward and hugged the armored Yasenia. "Why are you here, Yasenia?"

Yasenia looked at her in a daze, and her hand subconsciously went to her head to pat her.

The girl giggled
