In just a little over a week, Yasenia arrived at the Exalted Mid Heavenly Layer. This layer, having Sixth Level Transcendence Realms as the peak, made Yasenia feel quite subtle. Looking around and feeling the energy quality, she felt like going from breathing fresh air to breathing unfiltered air.
"I didn't recall the Energy Quality being so bad."
Tatyana, now controlling her secondary body, smiled amusedly at Yasenia. "If you react like that, the day you go to the Ancient Heavenly Layer, you will feel disdainful of even the Blue Pearl World."
Yasenia coughed, scratching her cheek. "You are right. I've been breaking through in this environment for years, so I shouldn't be too harsh on it."
As their group walked out of the portal, Yasenia, Tatyana, and Feixue leading at the front, Yasenia heard the voice of a man from a distance.
"Stop for me!"
Yasenia naturally didn't think that he was speaking to her, so she continued walking forward. It was Tatyana who smiled and poked Yasenia's side. "He is calling you."
"Hm?" Yasenia blinked and then turned to look. The man approaching was somewhat handsome, and his clothes were quite luxurious. Seeing his facial expression, feeling his aura, and looking into his arrogant but slightly greedy eyes, Yasenia's eyebrows twitched.
"It has been… quite a while. I almost forgot their existence while roaming in the Blue Pearl World…"
As a place with Demigods and the like, people were not too arrogant in front of unknown people. After all, you might kick a steel plate and suddenly have a Demigod descend and flatten your entire continent with a single palm.
So, Yasenia failed to encounter Young Master type people.
Here, though, things were different. The top powerhouses were all quite similar, being at the Sixth Level of the Transcendence Realm. Therefore, the number of arrogant, pampered youngsters that could get away with their evil was many, many more.
Yasenia was in a bit of a rush, but stopping for a bit to savor this lost feeling of seeing filth jump in front of her was not out of bounds. She even turned to look at her little disciple and spoke. "Look, Little Feixue. This type of people are called Young Masters."
"Young Masters?" Luan Feixue blinked, a bit confused. "Like… Young Master Dan?"
Yasenia pondered. "Similar. However, Young Master Dan targeted commoners. Otherwise, he would've kicked the bucket long ago. This man approaching is much more shameless. If he takes a liking of you, he must get you."
"So arrogant?" Luan Feixue was stunned. "Isn't he afraid of provoking someone he shouldn't?"
Yasenia chuckled. "Listen to his words."
The man finally arrived with his entourage and a few Transcendence Realm guards. The man looked Yasenia up and down stealthily, but his gesture fell under the eyes of the 300 maids, making their gazes gain a terrifying hidden chill.
Still, they knew their Young Miss had allowed this flea to approach for her amusement, so they didn't interrupt her fun.
"You, beauty. I am Young Master Mao. I've taken a liking to you. Follow me tonight. I will invite you to have some drinks."
A lackey by his side chuckled. "Beauty, you are lucky. Young Master Mao's father is the City Lord of this Heavenly Layer Main City. He, taking a fancy to you, is your blessing."
Luan Feixue's jaw slackened, while Yasenia patted her head, ignoring them. "See? They are basically telling you to your face: Let me have a shot, or you'll be bruised."
Luan Feixue looked up at her master, speechless. "Aren't they too shameless?"
"Yes." Yasenia smiled. "That's why we need to get rid of trash that approaches us when we encounter it."
Luan Feixue blinked and then frowned. "Don't kill them, Master." Looking at the few weaklings that were staring at them with dumbfounded expressions, she snorted coldly. "How can Master have her hands stained with this filth? I will do it for you."
She unhesitatingly drew her sword, stepping forward and summoning a few stars around her. "[Heavenly Constellation Steps, First Sky: Pegasus Gallop]."
Faint starlit feathers manifested behind Luan Feixue, and then, her body surged forward at a terrifying speed for a mortal-realm cultivator.
Young Master Mao shouted, angered. "You dare!? Guards!"
The 20 Transcendence Realm guards wanted to rush forward. However, before they could even move, 20 of Yasenia's maids flashed even quicker than Feixue, punching those 20 to the sky and leaving Feixue a completely free straight line toward Young Master Mao.
Yasenia looked at Feixue as she entered their little group, like a tiger feasting in the middle of a group of powerless sheep, satisfied. 'Her skills have become quite refined. Even when facing others with similar realms, she can win overwhelmingly.'
Tatyana nodded as well. "Not bad. There are quite a few points she needs to perfect. However, compared to a few decades ago, she has progressed."
Yasenia smiled. "She really has. Although, much of it was not thanks to me. I was too occupied. Thank you for looking after little Feixue, Mom."
Tatyana smiled.
Luan Feixue, after slaughtering all of them, snorted coldly and flicked her sword, splattering their blood onto the floor. Then, she returned to Yasenia's side.
'Hm?' Her gaze moved toward the 20 maids that stepped out at the same time as her, and she was surprised. "Why are the big sisters back?"
Yasenia blinked. "Dealing with a few weaklings takes no longer than a second. The only reason they didn't instantly kill them was to leave you some room to fight."
Luan Feixue couldn't help but look admiringly at these maids. 'Master's close attendants are all so strong, sigh… I hope I can have similar strength compared to them in the future.'
She was not delusional enough to think of surpassing them. Luan Feixue had long come to terms with her current talent. Of course, she had not given up on finding some kind of inheritance or treasure to reverse her fate.
Still, for now, she knew that hoping to catch up to these maids was already quite a lofty goal. As for catching up to her Master… Luan Feixue shook her head with a chuckle. 'That's impossible.'
An angry voice reached them from a distance. "You dare to kill my son!?"
Yasenia looked at the angry middle-aged man and spoke softly. "Anna. Deal with him."
Anna didn't even move as she extended her hand. Terrifying energy burst forth from her lithe body, twisting space as several hundred tree vines manifested around him.
Before he could react, his body was bound, and then Anna pointed at him. "[World Piercing Light Sword]."
A white line extended, crossing the distance and piercing through his forehead in an instant. That attack obliterated his soul, killing him instantly.
Yasenia smiled, satisfied. "Perfect! The annoyance is gone. Let's leave in the direction of Darling's world!"
Everyone nodded and flashed away, their figures disappearing and leaving behind a stunned group of spectators.
"D-Did the City Lord just die?"
"Who were those fairies?"
"Huh? Who died? I was too dazed looking at that peerless dragon goddess."
"I also missed it. I felt my soul sucked in by the red-eyed woman's beauty."
"..."
Once Yasenia left the area, she noticed that the sturdiness of space around her was quite… flimsy compared to the Blue Pearl World.
She blinked and pondered. Then, Yasenia gathered her strength, and punched out.
Terrifying energy gathered in Yasenia's fist, and when it boomed out, space itself shattered into a massive black void extending several tens of thousands of kilometers.
"Heavens… Isn't space here a bit too weak?"
Anna and the others felt their lips twitch, very much wanting to retort that she was the one who was too strong!
"Still, since that's the case, traveling is much easier."
Yasenia smiled, and then, she spoke softly. "[Empyrean Cosmos Dragon Cosmic Transformation]."
The energy of the cosmos around her gathered toward her like a world-dwarfing hurricane, her body quickly expanding and reaching her maximum size.
Seeing the dragon whose single claw was already as large as an average mountain, the maids blinked a few times. Anna spoke, somewhat stunned. "Lady Tatyana, is this what you meant in the reports by Young Miss's dragon form being a bit big?"
Yasenia turned to look at her stunned and then adoring maids, and smiled. "Mount on my head. I'll carry you over."
Everyone quickly landed there, Tatyana holding Yasenia's egg. Then, she stretched her wings, and Yasenia focused all her strength into her wings and body.
Then, she flapped.
BOOM!
Space shattered in front of Yasenia as she soared forward, her speed accelerating with each passing second.
100,000 kilometers per second… 200,000… 300,000… 400,000… Her speed broke light speed, making the surroundings deform terribly as she traveled under the outermost layer of space.
Yasenia then used her [Celestial Intent Domain], covering the distance before her and shrinking the cosmos even more.
The dragon accelerated even more, reaching a speed that was nothing short of astounding, and soon, they began their star-traveling journey at a much faster speed than expected.
Eve blinked, smiling wryly. "...Forget the initial three weeks total we estimated. At this pace, we will arrive in four more days. That makes what… 12 days of travel?"
Anna spoke, her eyes filled with both adoration and love. "Young Miss is as impressive as she was when she was little!"
Eira, gently caressing the scales she sat on, spoke softly once. "Young Miss is the best."
The other maids nodded, in full agreement with her. Yasenia asked Tatyana as they traveled. "So, is the world Andrea is currently living in worth keeping?"
Tatyana blinked, confused. "What do you mean?"
Yasenia spoke casually. "Well, if this world has offended my Darling, I don't mind making it disappear. So, I am asking if I can destroy it or not."
Tatyana blinked once, then twice, and then smiled extremely proudly. "Of course you can destroy it, Little Treasure! Hehehe. This will be your first world destroyed!"
Anna coughed once. "Young Miss, if I remember correctly, Madam Andrea is quite benevolent. I do not think she will be quite happy if you destroy the world."
Yasenia was somewhat stunned for a moment, and then she nodded seriously. "Right, right. I need to ask Darling for permission first!"
The maids: "..."
Luan Feixue: "..."
Tatyana: Proud.jpg.
"Ahem. Either way, we are going in the correct direction, right?"
Eve took out a real-time intergalactic map and nodded. "We are. Just speed straight ahead. I will guide you, so don't worry and just speed ahead."
"Got it." Yasenia flapped her wings powerfully.
Meanwhile, back in Andrea's forge, she changed clothes to some casual ones, prepared to have her annoying day with Princess Tao. She didn't know that a certain dragoness was basically barreling through the cosmos in her direction!
