While the Elder spoke to them, Yasenia and the others decided to return home.

Andrea and Sierra had been waiting outside all this time, but after hearing the commotion, they were somewhat nervous. When they saw them exit from the building, their nerves relaxed.

Andrea asked about what happened, and the others explained the details.

They were silent on their way back but could see Yasenia frowning occasionally, thinking about something.

Cecile didn't hold back and asked. "What are you thinking about, my love?"

Yasenia didn't answer and looked at Ghana and Flanna. "You two should return already. We'll deal with this ourselves."

Flanna nodded. Although they've spent very little time together, it was a pleasant time, so she said. "I'll come back another day if you don't mind."

Kali heard her timid voice, so she nodded. "Sure, unless we have important things to do, we'll certainly welcome you."

Yasenia added. "However, you should avoid relating to us for a while. We'll come to you later, okay?"

Flanna frowned, feeling Yasenia was making an excuse not to meet with her again. Yasenia chuckled and said. "You are here to gain military experience, right? You don't have to be specifically a City Guard. So, in the future, when we open our shops, we'll contact you to work with us. What do you say?"

Flanna got thoughtful and nodded. "Okay, but don't forget about me."

Yasenia nodded. "We won't."

Flanna smiled, and after saying goodbye to everyone, she left.

After seeing the giant woman leave, looking back from time to time, they chuckled. Andrea commented. "Quite a cute girl for her size."

Evelyn commented with a smirk. "Moreover, she had quite a big sister body."

Kali was speechless. "Evelyn, a single breast of hers is larger than your entire body. You could probably hide your entire body in her cleavage. That's just too big."

Evelyn said with righteousness. "There is no limit to the glorious female shape! Only proportion matters! That's the way of the Breast Dao-."

*Bang!*

Yasenia tail-slapped Evelyn. Then, she felt that she hadn't done so in a while.

Anyway, the dragoness turned her head toward a stupefied Ghana and said. "Miss Ghana, will you continue to be with us?"

Ghana shook her head. "No, I must inform the City Lord about his child's behavior. You should also expect nothing to happen. Even the Nine sect elder has given you face. The City Lord is not stupid enough to go against your group."

Yasenia nodded. "We have many things related to Blacksmith, alchemy, tailoring, and formations. Once we open a shop in this City, we'll probably be able to increase Koran City's reputation. So I hope the City Lord is wise and makes the correct choice."

The Harpy nodded and said. "Don't worry, miss Yasenia. I've already gathered enough information. I'll probably not appear before all of you again, so this is a goodbye."

Yasenia approached the Harpy, releasing a bit of her enticing scent, and smiled. Although she was in a dragon form, Ghana's aesthetics were more general than a human's, so she could admire the beauty Yasenia had in her dragon form in a more personal way.

Therefore, these gestures made Harpy blush slightly.

"Miss Ghana is impressive and has very high skill. If you find that you need another place in the future, you can always consider us."

Ghana was fidgety, feeling that this kind of approach was unfair. However, she still answered professionally. "I feel flattered by your interest, but I'll probably not be able to do so. Thank you for the offer."

Yasenia chuckled and circled Ghana twice, looking at her up and down. However, for the naked Harpy, her eyes didn't feel invasive but appreciative. "Don't be so quick to reject me. The offer will always be there, so remember to come to us as long as you feel like it. Unless a big change has occurred, we'll probably accept you."

Ghana was stiff under Yasenia's scrutiny. However, she managed to nod and say hastily. "I'll keep it in mind. Thank you for the offer." Then, she flapped her wings and flew straight up, quickly disappearing into the distance.

Yasenia narrowed her eyes for an instant and then communicated to the flying Harpy via spiritual sense. "Sure, we'll be waiting."

After they saw Ghana disappear, they turned toward Yasenia, waiting for her explanation. "Ghana could move when I was pressuring the whole room, and she didn't get overwhelmed by fear."

Cecile said lightly. "Her cultivation is not low."

Yasenia nodded but counter-argued. "Although she is a middle-level Ethereal Soul Body Cultivator, equivalent to a level four Unification Realm expert, her bloodline should not be high enough for her to resist as relatively easily as she did. Therefore, her mind must have been trained a lot. Having her as a general manager for our shop would be a big plus."

The others found truth in her words and were convinced by her explanation.

As they walked down the street, Yasenia kept thinking about what had happened. The others saw she had plenty on her mind, so they asked about it.

Yasenia sighed. "Although they won't bother us in a while, they may retaliate when they discover our real strength. Even if they have twenty people as strong as the Elder, I'm not afraid. However, his strength is already approaching our limit. Moreover, he seems to be a weak Elder compared to the true powerhouses of this Continent. So as long as he calls a person above his rank, we'll be in trouble."

Evelyn asked curiously. "Why weren't you more forceful, then? Maybe making a show of strength would've been better and deterred future troubles."

Yasenia shook her head. "Although I could kill him or beat him into a sorry state, I couldn't do so instantly. Making a short exchange and leaving our strength to the imagination will always have a better ending."

Yasenia looked at Evelyn and said. "Moreover, I don't even know how many treasures he has with him. Remember that attacking rashly can result in a dangerous situation, similar to what happened with Tang Xian and Long Baidi. That arrow that damaged me badly was not within our expectations. At that time, we held back slightly and used them as target practice, but it almost ended in tragedy for being overconfident."

Yasenia saw their thoughtful expressions and explained further. "Furthermore, since we didn't fight seriously and only exchanged a single blow, the resentment in the Elder is quite small. A small gift as thanks should be enough to reconcile with their sect. A gift like a good quality cauldron will appease the Elder if he is angry and wants retaliation. However..."

Yasenia's words trailed as she thought about Young Master Fu.

Tatyana said with a praising tone. "You've settled it the best way possible, little treasure. I'm honestly impressed. I thought you would be more forceful, but you handled it very cleverly. Also, if you get targeted by people like that child, you'll end up either fighting, suppressing each other, or killing each other unless you listen to their absurd demands."

Yasenia smiled, happy with Tatyana's praise. "Thanks, mom. Let's return home as soon as possible."

Angel asked. "Weren't we going to go to the Auction house?"

Yasenia sighed and said. "We don't know if they are arrogant enough to call for reinforcements. What if Young Master Fu ends up convincing the Elder? Although he looked reasonable, don't underestimate the power of talking nonsense from those spoiled brats."

Cecile said to the others. "Let's go home. It's not like we have any haste to go to the Auction. We still have two weeks, after all."

They all followed behind after a nod.

Once they turned the street, Yasenia suddenly commented. "We need something to hide Sierra. Although our group is somewhat eye-catching, Sierra gives our location like a big fluffy white signal."

Sierra snorted a laugh. "Did you have to put it like that?"

Evelyn chuckled. "Well, if we ignore your usual aloof attitude, that description is quite fitting."

They all got thoughtful, and Sierra said. "How about I wait at our house? I don't mind staying at home."

Yasenia shook her head. "No. I'm worried something will happen to you. Although our defensive formations are strong, if there is no Angel or Tatyana nearby to control them, they can only function at ten percent of their real potential. What if they try to capture you? I don't want anything to happen to you."

Sierra nodded and smiled.

Even with the contract, she felt like part of the family. 'Making Evelyn my contractor might have been the best decision of my life.'

Valeria suddenly asked. "How about you hide in Evelyn's body, as other contracted beasts do?"

Sierra tilted her head. "How could I hide in Evelyn's little body? One of my fangs is almost taller than her!"

Tatyana asked, surprised. "You don't know how to? I thought you were outside because you disliked being inside her."

Sierra was surprised. "Wait, I can hide inside Evelyn?"

Yasenia has never touched the topic of beast-taming, so she was also clueless about this. She knew a humanoid could attach beasts with different contracts, but nothing too deep about it.

The other girls were in a similar situation. Beast taming was a very niche way of cultivation, almost as rare as plant summoners. Hence, knowing about this profession's skills would be a stretch even for our knowledgeable girls.

Evelyn scratched her head and said. "Maybe I should start learning about Beast Taming. I may find ways to improve ourselves and other convenient things."

Yasenia rolled her eyes. "Dear, how could you overlook something so important?"

Evelyn snorted. "It has been quite hectic lately, so I completely forgot. Speaking of forgotten things. How are you girls with the [Element Enhancement Pills] we gained from the Heavenly Sect Master in the tournament?"

Yasenia commented. "I've already eaten one of each. I'm waiting another four months to eat the next one."

The others also said similar things. Yasenia suddenly had a bad feeling. "Don't tell me you also forgot about that."

Evelyn chuckled and said. "No, I didn't. Those pills are vital for our development, after all. They can strengthen our elements, and there is a minimal chance for them to evolve, after all."

Tatyana said. "Ebirah, Sierra, Andrea, Evelyn, come to me. I'll pass you the way to allow your beasts to reside inside you."

They all came close to her and Tatyana tapped their forehead with her finger.

A stream of knowledge flowed inside their brains, adding information about how to use the skill.

Tatyana explained while they all focused on absorbing the information. "That's the method. Its name is [Beast Pocket]. It is a basic skill for beast tamers. If they didn't have something like this, they wouldn't be able to walk around with their contracted beasts since, more often than not, a beast tamer has multiple beasts under them."

Yasenia also asked for it. Therefore, Tatyana passed the skill to all of them.

Learning it was effortless because even Body Modification Realm experts needed to use the skill. Moreover, it has been perfected through many generations of beast tamers, making it very basic when the effects were not.

The skill created a spatial pocket in the cultivator's soul, allowing the beast to live in their souls. Typically, this would be difficult and dangerous, but a beast couldn't attack the master with malicious intentions, so situations when it became a problem, were far and few in between.

Evelyn looked at Sierra and used the skill for the first time. It felt a little uncomfortable for a moment since the skill slightly modified the soul.

However, as soon as the process ended, Sierra felt her body shrink and transform into a stream of light. The stream of light entered Evelyn's chest, and she disappeared just like that.

They all blinked, surprised. 'So easy?'

Ebirah looked at Andrea and used the skill herself. Andrea felt Ebirah's wish, and she accepted it. Soon, the uncomfortable feeling passed, and the same event occurred.

Yasenia suddenly asked. "Can I hide inside Cecile or Angel? I have a special contract with both of them, after all."

Angel blinked, curious.

Tatyana shook her head. "You aren't their contracted beast, so you can't. A soulmate or interlocked soul is very different and much more intricate than a beast contract, so this beast pocket can't work."

Yasenia heard Angel muttering that it was a shame and chuckled. "Did you want me to flow inside you~? I can do so without the skill."

Angel blushed and looked sideways.

After teasing her baby a little bit, Yasenia looked at the six people left behind without including herself and Kaleina and nodded. "Now, it will be much easier to move around."

Finally, after an eventful day, they all returned to the safety of their home.
