After Yasenia entered the bathhouse while carrying Lidia, she closed the door behind them with her tail and placed the girl down. Yasenia spoke with bubbling laughter in her voice. "Sister-in-law, there is no need to hide anymore. We've entered the Radiant Flow Bathhouse."
Lidia carefully peeked out of Yasenia's ample cleavage and looked around. Her faintly reddened eyes from the previous silent crying and her rosy cheeks from embarrassment, adding to her adorable facial features, instantly sent arrows all around, striking at the hearts of every woman present.
'How can a woman be so cute!?'
Noticing their expressions, Lidia quickly coughed and put on her usual stern expression. It didn't work. Putting on her usual stern expression with the faint, teary eyes and blushing cheeks only made her cuter.
Yasenia, utterly weak to Lidia's type of beauty, clutched her heart once before pulling her into a tight hug. "Sister-in-law, you are so cute!"
She wanted nothing less than to rain kisses on her, but she knew that it was an inappropriate action. So, to her regret, she could only hug her tightly and rub her face with hers!
Not that such actions were much better than kissing her, but how could Yasenia resist such cuteness!? It was her weakness!
Lidia blushed even more fiercely. Yasenia's beauty was no joke, and with their many places inappropriately rubbing together, she was becoming hot all over. After all, she was no monk, and she also had needs.
'Ugghhh. Focus. Don't let temptation take over! This gorgeous and utterly beautiful dragon woman is your sister-in-law! She is Angel's girlfriend! Resist it… resist it…'
Lidia chanted in her mind with all her strength, only able to calm her mind lightly, but not her body.
Utterly uncaring of Lidia's current heated body, Yasenia separated from her and smiled widely. "Let's bathe together, sister-in-law."
Lidia's lips twitched fiercely. 'Heaven, Buddha, Mother, Father, protect my mind from this evil demoness!'
She was quite sure that if Yasenia actually pounced on her, the current her would only resist outwardly but very willingly accept inwardly!
This was not Lidia's fault in the slightest, though. While Lidia had never felt romantic feelings towards Yasenia and only saw her as family, their current situation was special.
Lidia was reuniting with someone she knew after over a century of separation. Moreover, Lidia knew that Yasenia had the "tools" necessary to make women quite… delighted. So, instinctively, Lidia saw Yasenia as someone from the "opposite" gender.
If then, over all those emotions of familiar attachment, Yasenia's current immortal beauty was added, the mix ended in blooming lustful feelings. Nothing romantic, but a feeling strong enough to make Lidia very reluctant to take off her robes!
"T-That, Yasenia, relax. How about we go elsewhere first?"
Yasenia, being her usual blockhead self in this regard, smiled with unexpected purity at Lidia. "Isn't it better to take a bath together? Don't worry, sister-in-law. I can scrub your back if you want."
She even winked after that.
Lidia's escape routes were sealed shut by the stupidly seductive dragoness, and she just resigned to her fate. 'Sister-in-law most likely won't do anything to me… So I just need to relieve myself later to get rid of this burning lust. Yes, that's it. Have faith in her!'
Steeling her heart and hoping that she wasn't pushed down, Lidia took off her robes together with Yasenia.
Naturally, the dragoness's sharp senses noticed the whiff of scent and also saw Lidia's thighs somewhat… gleaming.
Our blockhead finally realized what was happening, and her expression turned subtle for a second. '...I was a bit too much. I'll have to apologize later.'
"Sister-in-law, come on, let's go together."
Meanwhile, Lidia was doing her best to look anywhere that wasn't at Yasenia's explosive body. Unlike her, the rest of the women present were frozen stiff, looking at Yasenia's body with the band around her still flat stomach.
`[Care Of A Mother] would come off later, but that band couldn't hide anything else, so everyone got to know about Yasenia's 'sleeping' dragon.
Meng Lihua's mind went into disarray. 'S-She is a double-gendered dragon!?'
Beast humans and beasts had people like Yasenia, and, while very rare, they happened often enough that it was common knowledge that it was possible.
The women that had come to take a peek at Yasenia's body fell like puppets whose strings were cut, their noses bleeding and their faces flushed.
Lidia looked back at the "carnage" that Yasenia left behind with a single exposure and sighed, following the dragoness into the large bath.
Yasenia looked around with curiosity. "Wow, there are so many pools. Each of them has different colors as well."
"Yes," Lidia explained a bit. "The largest one in the middle is the Radiant Lake. It is the main one, and only Core Disciples and Transcendence Realm elders can enter it. Those around it colored blue, green, and red, are for the second benefit that one can take here."
"Which is?"
"A relaxing massage session with dips in those zones. The green pool can cleanse the skin, the red pool can increase circulation, and the blue one can seep and nourish internal organs. They, together with the Radiant Lake, create quite a good effect for cultivators."
Yasenia's golden eyes lit up as she walked inside naked. Those who were relaxing inside and were curious about the commotion outside were greeted by a heavenly goddess of seduction, and many instantly blushed up their ears.
Our dragoness, of course, ignored everything and finally detached [Care Of A Mother].
Being the center of attention, another round of exclamations spread out.
"P-Pregnant!?"
"Impossible! Who dares desecrate my goddess!?"
"Argh! I am so envious!"
Remember, this was the women's bathroom.
Lidia blinked at Yasenia's very big belly. She looked like a 6-month pregnant woman already, so it was extremely noticeable and large.
"Andrea's baby?" She asked, curious.
Yasneia looked at her, smiling brightly. "Yes! Our baby!"
All the women in the bathroom who were about to start cursing in their hearts were blinded by Yasenia's motherly and delightedly smiling expression. That smile full of happiness and love purified the evil spirits they were trying to conjure, exterminating all their negative emotions.
"I bet the baby will be gorgeous."
"Of course! With my goddess giving birth, the baby will be ravishing!"
"We must protect the baby!"
And so, the women in the bathroom did a 180 in attitude.
Even Meng Lihua nodded at the comments.
Feixue approached curiously as well, placing her hands on Yasenia's belly out of curiosity. After a while, she blinked confusedly. "There are no kicks! The baby is so well behaved!"
Yasenia chuckled and patted her head. "It's probably because it is an egg. I have not felt any kicks at all as well, so I am quite sure."
"Hm?" Lidia tilted her head, confused. "Can't you check?"
"I haven't!" Yasenia smiled. "I am leaving it up to fate. After all, I don't care what I give birth to. As long as it is my baby, I'll love it to death!"
Caressing her stomach, Yasenia's thoughts flew to her other babies. She wondered how they were doing.
'They were with Kali and the others the last time, right? I wonder if they've managed to break through into the immortal realm?'
She knew that it was probably impossible. However, her children's potential was ridiculous. Even Mirrory praised them, and for that ancient mirror to praise something, it couldn't be less than heaven-defying.
'I can't wait to see them again and pamper them~.' She chuckled with a soft smile, walking toward the Radiant Lake.
Lidia and the others followed, quickly submerging into the water. Tatyana hummed and nodded. "This water is not bad."
Even Lady First nodded. "It's a treasure. Even I can feel that, if I stay here for a while, I will have a mild improvement in my complexion."
Ao Xianlan was hugging Yasenia protectively, her hands caressing Yasenia's big belly, while her chin rested on Yasenia's head. "If it can even improve your complexion, then this water is truly a treasure."
Meng Lihua became a bit nervous as she listened. 'These big bosses won't steal it away, right? This is one of the most important treasures that has helped our sect for generations!'
Lady First glanced at Meng Lihua with a calm gaze. "Don't worry. We are not covetous of things that belong to Yasenia's friends."
She didn't smile because, in her naked state, smiling could probably make almost anyone present become her slave. While she could control her charm, when her facial features became "conventionally attractive," it was difficult to hold it back, even with her mastery over charm.
Her words relaxed Meng Lihua as she bowed. "Thank you, Senior."
Yasenia, leaning into Ao Xianlan's comfortable and soft embrace, used her tail to splash around as she languidly gazed at Lidia. "So, sister-in-law, did you spend your days happily here?"
Meng Lihua became tense once again. 'Lidia, for the love of all that you believe in, don't you dare speak of anything negative. Even one of the three women sitting around Lady Yasenia can flatten our sect with a single wave of their hands!'
Lidia noticed Meng Lihua's gaze. How could she not when she was smiling at her with eyes as piercing as those of a hawk?
Clearing her throat, she smiled and nodded at Yasenia. "Don't worry, I was treated excellently. Of course, there were some conflicts. After all, who wouldn't try to compete with me when I am vying for the best resources in the Sect? Still, using my means and being protected by the seniors, I have been able to cultivate in peace for most of the time."
Meng Lihua's heart was currently riding an emotional rollercoaster. 'Why are you so sincere!? My heart can't take this!'
Yasenia hummed, her lazy gaze squinting slightly. "Who troubled you?"
That question sent the entire bathhouse into a tense silence. There was no aura and no presence. Even the question was casual, and her voice was neither loud nor soft.
It was as if she were asking for the weather.
However, everyone who had been secretly eavesdropping knew in their hearts that whoever Lidia singled out would not have a good time in the slightest.
Lidia could easily sense what the others sensed. She felt warm inside and smiled at Yasenia. "Don't do anything. Conflict is normal in our world. It was because of those people that I managed to grow as fast as I have. Aren't you the same?"
Yasenia nodded, but she answered. "Even then, I flattened most of those obstacles until they were forgotten by heaven itself. Since they opposed me, why should I hold back from making them disappear?"
Her tone was relaxed as she used her tail to play with the water. Even then, it sent everyone chills down their spine.
Lidia shook her head. "Let's not speak about this. Instead…" She hesitated, but looking at her pregnant stomach, Lidia had some hope. "Do you know how Angel is doing?"
Yasenia blinked and smiled at Lidia. "I lost contact with her almost 30 years ago, so I am a bit… unaware. However, I can tell you a few things. For example…" She smirked at Lidia. "Angel is already a mother~."
Lidia's expression froze for a second. The freezing was so absolute that she looked perfectly still, even for the demigods present with impossibly refined dynamic vision.
