Heaven, Earth, Me

The people in the Supreme Lord’s mansion were nervously waiting while looking at the sky. When Yasenia and Supreme Lord had gone to fight in space, some had wanted to follow. However, a single gaze from the group of women that followed the dragon woman froze them in place.

“Do you think Lord Husband will win?”

This question reflected the mood of many of the women standing in the courtyard’s garden. A group of several dozen people were looking toward the sky, with some women holding small children in their arms. 

A relatively younger woman snorted. “What kind of question is that? Isn’t it clear that Grandfather will win? He has always won, and he will always keep being supreme!”

That woman answered rather emotionally, trying to hide her true thoughts behind a strong façade. The wives of the Supreme Lord looked at her, and one of them smiled, hugging her softly. “Right, right. If Little Min says it, we can trust her.”

Little Min nodded strongly, trying to hide her watering eyes. Supreme Lord might have ruled his family strictly, but that didn’t mean that people didn’t respect or love him. Everyone thought and felt that he was doing that for the sake of the family’s future. 

As they were speaking, a Silver Sun manifested in the middle of the sky. The light from this silver colored sun was freezingly cold, making many people shudder.

A young man frowned. “What was that? Father, does Grandfather have a skill like that one?”

A middle-aged man shook his head, his face unsure. “Not that I know of… Mother, do you know?”

The woman by his side shook her head. “I don’t.” She then sighed. “Let’s just hope for the best. I hope your father can avenge Sister Lucia and the others.”

While they were speaking, several streaks of light descended from the sky. This made the group become nervous, until, eventually, around seventy people stopped above their manor. The group’s beauty was unequaled, and their robes fluttered majestically, giving them an air of an immortal fairy. 

However, they couldn’t appreciate their beauty because the dragon woman that had been fighting the Supreme Leader was holding someone with her arms. Everyone's face turned pale when they realized who the man with frostbite all over his body was. “Impossible…”

Nobody knew who was the one saying that, but that voice snapped everyone out of their daze as both fear and anger filled their hearts. The dragon woman landed in front of them without a single twitch in her expression. There was no joy or sorrow after defeating their invincible Lord. Perhaps, for the dragon woman, this outcome was normal. Perhaps she never saw the Surpeme Lord as a threat. 

A man suddenly rushed forward and disappeared, reappearing right by Yasenia’s side. “LET GO OF HIM!”

The young man was one of the Supreme Lord’s first children, and his strength was great. He had reached the Ninth Level of the Fifth Realm, and his intent was at Level 8! Moreover, he was cultivating [Speed Intent]. A very rare and powerful intent.

Sadly, the opponent he chose was Yasenia. The dragoness shifted her gaze even before the man arrived. Once he appeared by her side, stretching his hand toward the Supreme Lord, her tail flashed like a metal whip.

BANG!

The earth below Yasenia’s feet cracked from the impact, followed by the man’s body flying back even quicker than his approach. 

BOOM!

His body tunneled into the ground with a massive explosion, creating a large dust cloud. Yasenia glanced at the rest of the people and asked, her tone calm and indifferent. “Anyone else? I defeated the person you all thought was invincible, and now you are trying to attack me? Is there really no one with a brain in this family?”

Resentment, hate, anger, and many more negative emotions barreled toward Yasenia. If gazes could kill, Yasenia would’ve probably died enough times to create a book relating them. 

Still, before anyone acted out again and got into trouble, a woman descended from the sky and landed before the group. “Lady Yasenia. We can talk, but first, return him to us.”

Yasenia glanced at the woman and blinked. “Hm. Not bad strength. Are you his main wife?”

The woman had cold facial features and an ethereally beautiful body with gentle but attractive curves. She was wearing a simple white dress, which didn’t harm her beauty but accentuated her purity and nobleness. The woman nodded faintly, neither arrogant nor overbearing. “You have a good eye. Now, can you release him?”

Yasenia tilted her head. “Why?”

The woman frowned. “What do you mean? You are here for Soul Cultivation Methods, right? Then, you should give him to us so that we can make the decision.”

Yasenia looked at the woman for a few seconds and, noticing that she was serious, she sighed. Shaking her head, Yasenia spoke again. “It seems that you still don’t understand your own position.” Yasenia passed the fainted Supreme Lord to Selena. And then faced the main wife. “Tell me your name.”

The main wife’s body tensed, her body alert and ready to fight it out. Her strength was only second to the Supreme Lord since she had been nourished to the Supreme Lord’s best abilities. His love for the rest of his wives might have leaned more toward lust, but toward the main wife, he had an actual pure feeling of love. Hence, the Supreme Lord had never slacked in giving her resources. 

With her peerless talent, her strength was not much different from the Supreme Lord. She was even stronger in some aspects. 

“Minghe.”

After saying her name, Yasenia nodded and spoke slowly and clearly. “You might be thinking that we defeated the Supreme Lord using a combination attack or something. However, you are wrong. I defeated him alone.”

Minghe’s cold face twitched once, almost breaking her facade. However, she managed to maintain it and smiled derisively. “You are bluffing. I can sense that, while your aura is terrifyingly profound, you don’t have the special characteristics of a Sixth Realm cultivator. I have seen many more things than you can imagine during my few thousand years of life, Yasenia. I know that under the Sixth Realm, all are ants!” She added. “Of course, a group of strong ants might be able to tumble down a powerful beast, but alone? That’s impossible.”

Minghe’s eyes suddenly flashed, and she smiled coldly. “You were too arrogant.”

“Hm?” Yasenia was confused.

“You thought that I am ignorant and tried to deceive me. However, I can see through your lies!” Minghe’s cold face had a confident smile. “Now, return Supreme Lord to us. After that, we are willing to exchange cultivation methods. However, if you dare deceive us, there will be consequences.”

After she had spoken imposingly, there was silence on both sides. On the Supreme Lord’s side, the people were looking at her admiringly. On our side…

Evelyn blurted. “Does this woman have a brain problem?”

Andrea coughed and scolded. “Don’t insult people. Her reasoning is actually quite sound. It’s just that she is facing Yasenia, so… Well, she sounds quite silly.”

Angel giggled. “She doesn’t know~. Hehehe.”

Cecile blinked. “Pitiful.”

Kali sighed and stepped forward, standing by Yasenia’s side. Then, she spoke toward the baffled Minghe. “Lady Minghe. Your husband is dying as we speak. We have the methods to maintain his life. However, in order to give you these methods, we are going to ask for quite harsh conditions.” She bowed slightly and sighed. “I am a doctor, and these kinds of schemes are not something I would do unless the other side provoked me. Sadly, the Supreme Lord touched my reverse scale.”

Minghe frowned. She had heard all of their little conversation, so she knew that they were mocking her. The words were quite sincere, and while hurtful, Minghe’s several thousand years of experience prevented her from lashing out. Instead, she pondered if she had miscalculated something. 

As she was pondering, Yasenia’s words reached her. “We want Soul cultivation manuals of the highest quality for each of the attributes. We also want an attributeless method that can be practiced until the Sixth Realm at the very least. If you can take out these and techniques that can be used with them, I am willing to let bygones be bygones and leave.”

Yasenia had been pondering Andrea’s worries, but she eventually dismissed them. The chance of both sides running into each other was extremely low. Moreover, it seemed that Mirrory, Valeria, and Tatyana had a lot of interest in the Supreme Lord and would not let him off easily. Hence, the chances of this person being able to threaten the security of her children was null.

Of course, this was the last attempt at being merciful from her, an attempt born from Yasenia’s desire not to get tangled in a massacre of a mortal world. She had no problems slaughtering gods and demons alike, but as a dragon, senseless slaughter was not something she relished in. Only stronger opponents could make her blood boil.

Menghe looked at Yasenia closely and saw the indifference and growing chill in the draconic golden eyes. The tall and voluptuous woman standing in front of her had an aura difficult to measure. Nevertheless, she could sense that this offer was strangely sincere. ‘Does she truly believe that something like this is fair? How is this possible?’

Having stood at the top of the world for several millennia, it was difficult for Minghe to fall back into the role of the “weaker party.” However, there was a nagging feeling deep in her heart that told her a single misstep would result in a terrible outcome.

Everyone stayed silent and allowed Minghe to think it through. As she was pondering, Yasenia commented. “Oh, if the Supreme Lord is not treated in twenty minutes, there will be serious aftereffects. Treating him now and twenty minutes later would be like treating an external wound against treating an internal wound.”

Minghe’s face fell and her gaze landed on her husband. Seeing him unconscious and with needles pierced all around his body, her heart hurt terribly. The fact that she could maintain a semblance of calmness was already praiseworthy. After taking a deep breath, she looked at Yasenia and spoke. “I would accept. However, only he is able to take out Soul Cultivation techniques. Even I am unable to do so. So, you need to make him recover to an initial stage at the very least before we can continue discussing this further. Even if I make a decision, he can alter it easily later.”

Yasenia shook her head. “Weak excuse. I can tell him that if he doesn’t give me those items, I’ll slaughter his entire family in front of him one by one.” Yasenia saw Minghe’s face change, and she added. “However, I won’t do that. Let’s follow your arrangements.”

Minghe was about to sigh in relief when Yasenia disappeared and reappeared in front of her in less than a blink of an eye. Minghe could not react at all and was forced to look up to the tall woman. 

“Minghe, remember. I am trying to be merciful, but the number of people I’ve slaughtered is many more than you can imagine. Your family is nothing but a drop in the bucket, and doing it will not hurt my conscience. I’ve already killed a few of your family members; killing more is as easy as flipping my palm.”

Minghe’s face paled, unable to take a step back from the terrifying pressure pouring out from the golden eyes looking at her. Eventually, she gulped and nodded once. Yasenia relaxed her aura and flashed back to her original position. “It’s good that you understand. Let’s go inside so that Kali and Valeria can start the treatment.”
