While Sierra and Evelyn left, Yasenia realized that she was completely free. The dragoness tilted her head, lately, it was more rare for her to be free than occupied with something. 'Hm… What should I do?'

Yasenia pondered for a second and then smiled. "Girls, today I'm going to spend time with Kaleina."

They all smiled and nodded, giving her a kiss before she left. 

Tatyana was last, and after the kiss, she said. "Little Treasure, I have a few things to do, so I won't be accompanying you."

Yasenia pondered and asked. "Is it that investigation I asked you to do?"

Tatyana smirked. "That's right. I've been listing the top powerhouses of each important clan, and there are a few who are interesting. Either way, I should be done by next month. I hope to receive plenty of rewards~."

Yasenia hugged her waist and laughed. "More rewards? You are sucking me dry almost every night, what more do you want?"

Tatyana smiled seductively, tip-toeing to bite her lips. "What can I do? You are delicious~." 

She almost changed her plans from accompanying Kaleina to rolling on the sheets with Tatyana. The dragoness lowered her face and buried it in Tatyana's neck, sniffing her scent and purring lovingly. "If you provoke me like this, I won't be able to hold back~."

Tatyana's eyes flashed and whispered temptingly. "Then, let's spend half an hour together before you go~." 

Yasenia's eyes gained a pinkish color and both of them disappeared, spending time in their love nest for an hour.

After leaving the room, both of them had languid faces with rosy cheeks and walked basically glued to each other. The dragoness's tail was coiling around Tatyana like a constrictor snake, showing even more intimacy while they walked through the sect. 

The members knew the Sect Master's love for human women, especially the core ones who always walked with her, so nobody felt that the situation was strange.

Yasenia kissed Tatyana's temple and chuckled lowly. "Didn't you have to work?"

Tatyana lifted one eyebrow seductively. "I changed my mind. I want to spend more time with you~." 

Yasenia laughed and hugged her tightly, trying to express her deep feelings. "I love you."

Both of them arrived at their home and went toward Kaleina's room.

When they entered, the little dragoness was playing with three maids.

Of course, knowing that Yasenia treated Kaleina as her own child, the maids were extremely pampering of her. 

Kaleina had grown a lot during the last four years. Her length was already two meters, a bit shorter than Yasenia's tail, and her back had begun developing her wings, while her forehead also had two bumps where horns would eventually grow.

Her face was unlike a typical dragon, much rounded and softer with large golden eyes, looking extremely adorable and pettable. 

Even regarding dragon standards, Kaleina was very pretty. 

Her purple scales reflected the light, giving her a natural shine and mystical aura, and her golden markings were beautiful and complimented her body perfectly. 

Her body type was serpent-like, with only frontal claws and a serpentine body that ended in a beautiful tail. 

When they entered, Yasenia saw Kaleina's nose twitching and instantly turning toward them with a bright smile that could eclipse the sun with her cuteness. "Mommy! Mama Tatyana!" 

She slithered toward them while happily laughing, and when Yasenia leaned down, the little dragoness climbed and coiled around her, hugging her neck and licking her face. "I missed you, Mommy."

Yasenia's eyes shone with love, and she kissed her little dear. "I missed you too, Kaleina." 

Tatyana couldn't help but laugh. "You two have seen each other in the morning. What are you being dramatic for?"

Two pairs of golden dragon eyes looked at Tatyana with similar expressions. "That's too long!" 

Yasenia and Kaleina blinked and looked at each other before bursting into laughter. Yasenia commented. "Say, baby. What do you want to do today? I have the entire day free to play with you as you like."

While she asked, her tail slowly caressed the little dragon, making her squint in happiness. The feeling of Yasenia's scales caressing hers was so pleasant that Kaleina began purring.

Then, when the meaning of her words registered in the comfortable little dragon, Kaleina's eyes glittered like a warm sun, and she said with a smile. "I want to play in the obstacle course! I think I can go much further today!"

Yasenia smiled and kissed her face. "Let's go, then. Hold on tightly." She looked at Tatyana and said. "Let's go."

Tatyana was about to nod, but a communication reached her, making her frown. She sighed. "It seems that there is something I need to deal with. You go alone, little treasure."

Yasenia lifted an eyebrow. "Is it serious?"

Tatyana waved her hand. "A few of our collaborations have been bribed, and they are making trouble. Don't worry. I'll deal with them quickly."

Yasenia frowned. "Who is the culprit?" 

Tatyana looked at the documents. "The Steel Back Wolf race. It seems that they have started retaliating. The Nine Silent Fang Sect also has some involvement. Either way, you have a relaxing day with Kaleina. I'll deal with these things."

Yasenia nodded easily. Tatyana turned to the side and spoke. "Clara, come with me."

Clara nodded. "At your orders, Lady Tatyana." 

Kaleina waved her hand. "Goodbye, Aunty Clara!" 

Clara's serious face melted, and she approached to scratch Kaleina's chin. "Goodbye, little Young Miss. Have fun with your mom."

Kaleina giggled and nodded. 

After that, Yasenia used her tail to hold onto the coiling Kaleina, and she jumped out, speeding toward the obstacle course.

Kaleina felt nothing as Yasenia protected her with her energy. 

Instead, she was loving it. 

"Hahaha. Mommy, we are going so fast!"

Yasenia smiled, accelerated, and her body zoomed across the sect. Two minutes later, they arrived at the obstacle course. 

Before descending, the dragoness made sure to change to a more conservative dress that covered her skin, only revealing a bit of her neck with her hands hidden in the long and wide sleeves, and she placed a veil below her eyes, covering half of her face. 

Many children were roaming in this sect area, so she was more careful with her appearance. 

This obstacle course was like an initiating place for those at the mortal level and the first realm. 

The mortals that were accepted were here because they had excellent potential. Hence, once they advanced, they practiced here. 

Depending on the percentage they completed, they would be placed in one course or another. After completing the entire obstacle course, they would officially become outer-sect Disciples. 

Kaleina came here often with Yasenia to prove herself. After they landed, Kaleina looked in the direction where a group of children gathered and waved her claw to call them. "Hello, big sisters, big brothers!"

Yasenia saw one of the girls quickly turning around, and her eyes widened with delight, sparkling softly. 

This little girl approached with a broad smile and quick steps. "Kaleina! I thought you wouldn't come here today!"

The little girl was a pure beast that had gained transformation skills at an early age. Her talent was extraordinary, and her strength was impressive for her age. 

She was a young Phoenix with a very pure bloodline and light red wings. Her strength was already equivalent to a low-level Initial Foundation Building Body Realm at the age of seven. 

The young phoenix also greeted Yasenia with a respectful bow. "Sect Master!"

Yasenia smiled and patted her head. 

The reason Yasenia knew about this girl was because she met her by chance on one of her trips outside. The little girl had escaped from her home, and Kaleina was in the mood to play hero because of a recent story she had read her, so when the young phoenix was going to get beaten up, Kaleina charged forward valorously and decided to lend a claw. 

Of course, Kaleina and the little girl were no match, so Yasenia intervened and splattered those people who were about to attack her little darling with a sword. 

The little girl was scared and burst into tears, hugging Kaleina in thanks. 

After investigating, Yasenia discovered that her parents were neither influential nor strong. 

When Yasenia contacted them, they were very nervous, but by then, Kaleina had become friends with her, and Yasenia reassured them about her safety. 

Both of them were not reluctant to send their daughter away, making the dragoness suspicious. She later discovered that the girl was an orphan rescued by the couple, but because of the needs of a young beast, their economic situation was a bit tight.

To avoid the little friend Kaleina made from being depressed about being abandoned by her adoptive parents, she took both parents to Astral Sky City and gave them work and a humble place to live. 

Just the necessary aid to not let them starve and indulge a bit from time to time. 

The young Phoenix lived with those adoptive parents, returning from the sect to the city every evening by a transportation device together with many other children. 

As mentioned, this girl was not the only young one in the Astral Sky Sect. There was a way to apply for mortal children in the Astral Sky City, and parents could send the children that had potential to the sect to be trained. Of course, the condition was for the children to work for the Sect in the future.

It was an effective way to groom talents and educate them. Using the lectures to influence their thinking about humans slowly was also in the curriculum. 

Yasenia knew that she couldn't make a big difference in the continent's situation regarding human salves, but she was trying to at least slowly lessen the hate of the beast humans that were in her sect with hopes of creating a future "paradise" where humans and beast-humans lived together. 

She knew that if she wanted to make a more significant change, the only option would be re-educating the entire continent using unmatched strength.

Influencing the younger generations was like planting a seed and hoping it would eventually germinate into a beautiful tree. 

Kaleina slithered down from Yasenia's embrace and said cutely with a smile. "Flame! You are here early today! How have you been?"

Flame grabbed Kaleina's claw with a smile, her red phoenix wings flapping happily. "Very happy! Since I came here, every day has been super entertaining!"

This was another reason Yasenia became fond of the young Phoenix girl. This tiny girl was named Flame, the same as the first "lover" Yasenia lost in the Trial. 

Even if it was just a Trial, such an event left a deep mark in the dragoness being. So, she had a soft spot for the girl. 

Yasenia smiled and greeted her, leaning forward to pat her head again. "Hello, Flame. Did you like the present I gave you the other day?"

The young Phoenix blushed and bowed. "Yes, sect master. Thank you."

Yasenia laughed lightly and pinched her soft cheek. "Don't worry, dear. How far have you completed the course?"

Flame said embarrassedly. "A-About fifteen percent."

She was embarrassed because the four-year-old Kaleina managed to advance twelve percent, almost the same as her. 

Kaleina exclaimed and hugged the Phoenix, making her somewhat stiff. "Flame, you are so strong! You advanced another three percent!"

Flame scratched her cheek and smiled shyly. "Well, it is all thanks to you, Kaleina." 

Yasenia nodded, her eyes flashing with a mischievous light. 'Aren't you too young to feel embarrassed, little one?'

However, it was expected, as Kaleina's and Yasenia's bloodlines were extraordinarily pure and potent. Even if Yasenia restrained herself, her aesthetic beauty and natural aura made beast children feel secure around her. 

Kaleina was also like a social magnet, being liked by almost every other child and adult in the obstacle course.

Yasenia commented. "It's also thanks to your own efforts, Flame. Remember that if you work hard, you will reach far in life." 

Flame nodded solemnly with an incredibly adorable expression. "I won't disappoint Sect Leader!" 

Yasenia couldn't help but pinch her cheek softly again. "Yes, very well done. Remember that this course is tough to complete unless you are near the high level of the Initial Foundation Building Body Realm. Doing fifteen percent as a mortal is really impressive."

Flame's wings fluttered happily. "Thank you for the praise, sect master."

"Mommy, I'm going to play with Flame." 

Yasenia gave her a kiss after slightly lifting her veil. "Go ahead, I'll be watching from here." 

Kaleina slithered with the help of her long frontal arms, and Flame followed behind after bidding goodbye to Yasenia.

Author: Little Kaleina's Friend makes an appearance! 

Angel: She is very cute!

Andrea: I want to head pat her.

Yasenia: Darling, no. She won't survive! Your head pats are too good! 

Andrea: Huh?

Author: I summon you!

WPOmega: Here I am with a long question! 

Author: Oh?

WPOmega: I've been thinking, if dragons generally are an egg-laying species, how will Yasenia's children be born? Does the mother's species, bloodline, and power affect if it's a mammal birth or an egg birth? Basically, I'm wondering if the girls will become egg-laying mammals like the platypus and if the babies born not from eggs will have human forms already or still have to mature to gain one. 

Kali: That's an interesting question I've been researching.

Yasenia: True, she has been asking for samples of my semen. 

Kali: Speaking of which, I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I first looked at it. The concentration of sperm cells is about two thousand times more abundant, and the viscosity of the liquid ensures the vitality of the sperm cells. Either way, I digress.

WPOmega: No, no, you can talk about that.

Kali: Nop, you only have one question per Celestial Theater~. 

WPOmega: Sigh, okay… Does Cecile being a Phoenix affect it? 

Kali: I was getting to it. However, I won't be 100% sure until we, well, give birth. I think that the chance of us laying eggs is slim. It depends on which form the children are born. If they are born in their dragon form, we have an increased chance of laying eggs, but if not, we'll probably have a mammal pregnancy. 

Cecile: In my case?

Kali: For you and I, who are complete beasts, we have more than a 70% chance of laying eggs regardless of what kind of form they are born. 

WPOmega: Interesting… 

Yasenia: How big?

Kali: Yes? 

Yasenia: How big are the eggs? 

Kali: Hahaha, I don't know, love. You are a new species. 

Author: And that's all for today~. Bye-bye!
