During this one-and-a-half week, Cecile, Andrea, and Kali focused on training while Angel worked on the formations around the house, and Evelyn took care of everything else.

Evelyn was in a room with a desk, the place that would've been Yasenia's temporary office, looking through a few documents. While Evelyn was usually focused on Tailoring and Cultivation, she was a very intelligent person. 

Many times, Yasenia had consulted with her about a few strategic decisions. Of all the girls, when it came to management skills, Evelyn was second, right after Yasenia.

Alaia entered with a document in her hand and commented. "Evelyn, there have been three groups that tried to sneak inside. Here is the data we've managed to uncover."

Evelyn took it, and her violet eyes scanned the documents. "Hm. It doesn't feel urgent. They are all local powers that probably got incentivized by either the Continental Shadows or anyone tied to the Demons Yasenia provoked on our day arriving at [Ascending Ocean City]."

Alaia nodded. "That's what we thought as well. We've planned to leave it aside for now until Lady Tatyana and Young Miss stop their mating."

Evelyn nodded, taking other documents with the expenses of the activities in the city. "By the way, Alaia. What's up with the formation costs? I don't usually dab in our expenses other than those related to Tailoring, but this formation we are building is quite expensive for a temporary stay, no?"

Alaia explained with a smile. "Young Miss is always like this when it is related to your safety. It's quite a normal expense."

Evelyn blinked. "100,000 Flawless Parus were used for this formation." 

Alaia nodded.

Evelyn blinked twice. "That's about one hundred times as much as an average First Rate sect's yearly expenditure."

Alaia nodded. "Most of the items used by Young Miss are self-grown."

Evelyn tilted her head. "I see… It's quite a lot, eh? That's the cost of a mid-level Heaven Ranked treasure."

Alaia laughed softly. "Yasenia would burn a hundred of those if it meant keeping you girls safe, so I would say that's on the cheaper side. She has actually cut down many expenses because we, the maids, are here." 

Evelyn acknowledged and commented. "How is the thing I asked you to do?"

Alaia summoned another document and gave it to her. "Here are the top ten shops for each of the professions. We've also sent a few of the maids into the underwater side of the city, so these seven lists are a mix of everything we've managed to explore during the last week." 

Evelyn looked at the titles. "Restaurants, Forgeries, Alchemy Workshops, Cloth shops, Tattoo Workshops, Formation Shops, and Hospitals. Good, thank you, Alaia." Evelyn used her energy and picked up a very thick stack of documents and jade-scrolls, giving them to her. "Here is the processing of the usual work."

Alaia took them and gave them a superficial look. After 15 minutes, Alaia nodded. "Perfect. You are quite good at this, haha."

Evelyn smiled wryly. "Compared to Yasenia, I'm a novice."

Alaia didn't deny it. The work Evelyn did in an hour, Yasenia would probably do in 5 minutes. Still, Evelyn's work speed was commendable. "Still, Young Miss is just different. There is no reason to compare yourself to her."

Evelyn laughed. "That's true. Speaking of that lovable dragoness, have they stopped increasing the moisture levels of that particular room?"

Alaia snorted a laugh. "A peculiar way of asking. Yes, they stopped about 4 hours ago. They are now sleeping. Taking into account Young Miss's habits, they are probably going to wake up in half an hour." 

Evelyn sighed. "She should sleep a bit longer."

Alaia made a wry expression. "Not even us can force her to sleep. You know how it goes."

Evelyn nodded, leaning back on the chair. "Well, with these lists, we'll have places to visit when we go out. Kaleina wanted to go outside, right?" Alaia nodded, so Evelyn laughed. "Then, we'll probably go outside today or tomorrow."

Alaia smiled. "There are four days left until the beginning of the Summit, so you are probably right." 

Evelyn stood up, stretching a bit, and asked. "Is the Astral Sky Shop in this city set up?"

Alaia nodded. "We followed your arrangements and had no problems opening it to the public. The caravan's path will also add this city while passing through the nearby [Dalian City]."

Walking toward the outside, Evelyn used her hands to tie her long electric blue hair in a ponytail. "So, everything went as I arranged it? That's quite nice to know."

Alaia used her tail to pat Evelyn's butt. "Have more confidence in yourself. The fact that we also trust your decisions should tell you a lot about your abilities."

Evelyn jokingly sneered. "Right, you trust me after passing the plans I presented through a bazillion screenings." 

Alaia rolled her eyes. "Trust and not checking are different things." 

Evelyn pouted. "But you don't do the same with Yasenia's plans."

Alaia said, speechless. "Didn't we just agree that comparing yourself with Young Miss is not a thing you should do?"

Evelyn couldn't maintain her pout and burst into laughter with Alaia. Then, she said sincerely. "Thanks for the trust, Alaia. It really means a lot."

Alaia nodded and said playfully. "Continue studying and learning, and the bazillion screenings would be reduced to a gazillion times." 

Evelyn almost tripped. 

One hour later, all the girls and a few maids, Kaleina and Flame included, were in the same outdoor room, waiting for Tatyana and Yasenia to arrive. It didn't take long to see the door opening as two people, hand in hand, entered.

The girls saw the two goddesses enter while holding their breath. Their faces had similar relaxed smiles, and their presence boosted each other's aura, making the two women look otherworldly even while wearing regular clothing.

Yasenia was wearing a red kimono that opened in the front, revealing a large part of her breasts, along with a long skirt and long sleeves. Meanwhile, Tatyana wore a loose white dress with red accents, complementing Yasenia's kimono in a way similar to the couple's clothes.

The dragoness smiled at them, making their hearts skip a beat. "Sorry for the delay, dears."

Evelyn joked. "You finally exit your love nest. I was losing my hair while taking care of your work."

Yasenia and Tatyana moved and sat on the same couch as Evelyn, Yasenia being the one sitting by her Dear's side. "Well, then I should rewardmy dear, right?"

Evelyn felt Yasenia's arm going around her waist, making their bodies stick close together, which made Evelyn feel the softness of the dragoness at close range. She coughed and nodded. "That's right. It's an imperative action you must take."

Yasenia laughed, lowering her head to give her a kiss. Then, she waved her hand and threw something at each of the people present. "I've cooked a grilled cheese and ham sandwich with tomato, fresh lettuce, raw onions, and meat. The bread is also hand-made, adding spices and powdered cheese to give it a good flavor. I've also added a sauce on one of the slices of bread to make it juicier, together with a fried egg." 

The girls looked at the thick and juicy sandwich, and their mouths began salivating. The combination was quite simple, but the ingredients were not as simple, as each of the items on the sandwich was Heaven-ranked. The cheese was even specially made from Yasenia's own breast milk.

Yasenia threw a small spatial ring at Selena and smiled. "I hope you girls like it. There are three sandwiches for each of the maids there. There is also a separate pouch with the sandwiches that didn't use my breast milk but another kind of cheese for all the sect members. Let it be a reward for their hard work during this one and a half weeks."

Selena, the red-scaled lamia, blinked. "They are mid-level Heaven-Ranked food, right? It should give permanent buffs."

Yasenia nodded. "To us, they won't give anything as I've already fed you as much heaven-ranked food as possible in terms of permanent buffs. However, it will be a good boost for the ones that came with us. It's a bit worse without using my cheese, but it's good enough as a reward."

Selena laughed. "More than a good reward. I think that once they eat the three sandwiches, the sect members will cry with joy."

Yasenia laughed. "So exaggerated."

Selena shook her head, thinking. 'If a few of them don't kowtow in gratitude, I'll reverse my name.'

Well, she wouldn't need to change her name, as a few of them actually did so.

Kali took a bite, and the bread made a loud crunching sound as her teeth broke the crispy crust. Then, the tender crumb exploded with the accumulated juices of the meat, sauce, and flavors in the bread. Right after, as her teeth sunk into the soft meat and other ingredients, the combination of tastes made her senses dance in joy as Kali almost moaned. 

After biting and pulling back, a few strands of the grilled cheese stretched, only cut after pulling her head back a bit, adding that visual deliciousness to the food.

As Kali chewed, the flavors perfectly enhanced each other in her mouth, and when she finally swallowed, a sigh-like moan left her mouth. "Woah… Delicious."

Valeria was also eating one, and she agreed. "It's really good."

Even Mirrory had hers, and the ancient cultivator found it good as well. 

Kaleina and Flame were constantly munching; their cheeks puffed with the savory sandwich. 

Yasenia smiled at them. "Eat slowly and savor it, dears. Nobody will take it away. I've prepared a few extra of them, so there is more than enough even if you want to eat another."

Yasenia ate just one of them and looked around with a tender smile as her girls munched in silence, appreciating her food. 

After eating, Andrea looked at Yasenia and Tatyana and asked. "So… Any results?"

Yasenia snorted. "I don't know."

Andrea blinked, looking at Tatyana. "What does she mean."

Tatyana laughed. "I hadn't told her yet."

Cecile asked. "And when are you going to tell her?"

Tatyana looked playfully at the dragoness and smiled. "Now."

The girls paused their eating, looking at Tatyana simultaneously. Tatyana looked around and commented. "After one and a half weeks of trying 24 hours a day, my Little Treasure made great efforts."

The girls felt their lips twitching at Tatyana's eagerness to drag out the answer. Tatyana looked around with laughing eyes. "There were ups and downs, and for the first three days, we tracked if it happened or not. However, lost in our passion, we forgot about everything and decided just to enjoy the process."

Tatyana sighed, holding her cheek. "My eggs were very powerful, fighting back the billions of little soldiers my little treasure shot. It was truly a massacre."

The girls felt their hands twitching this time, wanting to slap the back of her head.

Looking at Yasenia's impatient face, Tatyana laughed. "Of course, like a good Dragon, my Little Treasure never gave up!" 

Flame and Kaleina were completely lost, not knowing what Tatyana was talking about. 

Tatyana's eyes softened as she leaned on Yasenia's side and spoke with a smile while looking up at her. "And her efforts paid off, as her objective was fulfilled."

Yasenia's eyes widened, and her heartbeat accelerated, similar to the others, and Tatyana finally said with a large smile. "I'm pregnant, little treasure. Thank you for loving me."
