Chapter 435: Yasenia\'s test.
Yasenia observed them and spoke. "All of you have different skills. They are not part of a power\'s strength. However, they can come a long way to bring entertainment and a way to make our long lives easier and more fulfilling. I know the importance. However, I also know that you are not essential."
They all frowned and kept listening. Yasenia smiled. "However, like sex workers, you are a piece that can\'t be forgotten when developing a healthy clan. A way to vent, relax, or let our imagination run. That\'s what you all are. Therefore, do your best, and we\'ll also create plans for the future for all of you."
Their eyes brightened, and they all nodded. Yasenia walked a few steps to the right and observed the last group.
Unlike the previous two, they were confident since their professions were rare. Yasenia smiled and spoke. "It\'s good to be confident. However, I\'m clarifying that although you can become valuable assets for our Clan, you are not essential."
Their relaxed stances tensed. Yasenia laughed. "Well, don\'t be so tense. As I said, I know the value of a Talisman master and the others since I myself am a Spirit Cook."
They all relaxed again, and Yasenia nodded. "Good, all of you will follow my instructions in the future. However…" Yasenia moved her eyes and landed on a beautiful blue-feathered harpy. "Why did you come here?"
The eyes of the others gravitated toward her and were confused for a second. Then, they remembered that Yasenia told them that gardeners needed to go toward the Fox Woman.
The harpy\'s face became pitiful as she said. "I have bad experiences with fox-kin. I\'m sorry, Matriarch. Allow me to work under you."
Yasenia raised her eyebrow, and a smile appeared on her lips. Then, she called the rest while not answering the gardener. "Let\'s group up again."
They all nodded and gathered in a single group, confused about why she ignored her.
Yasenia began. "First of all, I need to inform all of you of this one more time since it seems unclear."
Yasenia blurted. "I hate people lying to my face."
They all flinched for a moment at the coldness in her voice. Yasenia continued. "I understand some things can be said easily. I understand that there will always be lies. Therefore, I won\'t blame any of you for it unless it is something I consider important. For example, I don\'t care if any of you tell me that you have zero intercourse experience, even if it is a lie. I don\'t care about those things."
Yasenia continued. "However, if by chance I ask why you didn\'t follow my orders. And then, you blatantly lie to my face, expecting me to believe it. Well, it doesn\'t sit well with me, yeah? I feel like I\'m being treated as a stupid person."
Their eyes couldn\'t help but gravitate toward the gardener, and they saw sweat building up in her body.
Yasenia chuckled and stepped forward, using a handkerchief to clean the sweat on her forehead. However, this gesture didn\'t come as heartwarming. It felt as if the cold was seeping into their bones.
"Since things are like this, we\'ll do one thing before we begin knowing each other more thoroughly." Yasenia\'s voice sounded calm, like the calm before the storm.
Yasenia stepped back and looked at the fifty women, spreading her spiritual sense at maximum efficiency around them.
The woman saw Yasenia\'s golden eyes radiate a soft glow, and their instincts told them that an ancient predator had locked their eyes on them.
Yasenia spoke, maintaining the calm but now emotionless tone. "All of you make an oath to the heavens saying that you didn\'t deceive me or tell me half-truths when presenting yourselves."
Her senses caught four of them flinching as soon as she finished speaking. Strangely, one of them wasn\'t the gardener.
However, Yasenia didn\'t care. She smirked, and her eyes landed on those four, one after another.
"You four, step forward and tell me the truth. Name, age, cultivation base, profession, and your intentions and reasons for entering my clan."
Their faces twitched, but they had no choice but to step forward.
The other groups felt the abnormality, and their eyes moved toward them.
Ghana frowned and was about to ask when she felt a pair of red eyes landing on her back. Ghana\'s words got strangled in her throat, and she swallowed them. She asked Tatyana. \'Lady Tatyana, what happened? Did they offend Lady Yasenia?\'
Tatyana said. \'Just watch. If no one offends her, Yasenia will treat all of you exceptionally well. Her change in temper should be because of something major.\'
Yasenia smiled and said with a calm tone that didn\'t match the smiling lips. No, her voice matched the cold golden reptilian eyes that seemed to see through all truths. "Don\'t worry. I expected people to lie, trying to hide their true intentions. Not to lie to you, I even expect spies from other powers to be in this group. Or people sent with bad intentions, wanting to know more about us."
The four harpies that stepped forward didn\'t show anything on their faces, showing a calm stance.
Yasenia chuckled. "Do you think that a person that has nothing to do with this will keep calm and not be surprised by my words?"
Their faces changed as Yasenia continued. "It looks like you are trying to control your facial muscles, not to make any errors and get discovered. Lack of facial expression or reaction is also quite a big hint, don\'t you think so, Florrie?"
The harpy Yasenia spoke to had black feathers and blue eyes. With a beautifully proportioned slender body. A cold beauty that usually had a calm face.
However, this time, the lips couldn\'t help but twitch as her eyes looked at Yasenia with a hint of fear.
"I think Lady Yasenia is too suspicious." Her voice was cold and without fluctuations.
Yasenia chuckled. "Am I? Good, good. Then, go ahead. Swear to the heavens you are here with good intentions toward my clan. Or something easier, swear that you don\'t have any secondary thoughts toward me besides joining with all your sisters."
Yasenia stepped forward and smiled. "Go on. I\'m waiting. I\'ll believe in you if you can swear one of them."
Florrie said. "I, Florrie, swear to the Heavens that my intentions to come to Lady Yasenia\'s clan are good."
Everyone thought something would happen, but thunder didn\'t fall, or the clouds didn\'t gather.
Yasenia laughed aloud. "You have the guts to do little tricks with your words? Are intentions good? Good for whom? Can you answer this simple question? Hahaha, hilarious. Did you really think you could deceive me with such a blatant and obvious trick?"
The others who began doubting became solemn. Yasenia\'s current smile was too cold. "How many years has it been since someone has tried to trip me with words in such a blatant way?"
Yasenia disappeared, and before they could react, she clutched Florrie\'s neck and lifted her body.
The eyes of everyone widened. \'When did she move!?\'
Florrie\'s eyes bulged as Yasenia\'s monstrous bodily strength could fight back against a body cultivator at her same level. "Florrie, Florrie. You are making my patience run thin-."
Yasenia stopped talking when she felt an object attacking her from a blind spot, trying to stab her dantian.
While Yasenia talked, one of the other three who stepped forward had taken a sword out and attacked without previous signals.
The momentum on the harpy\'s body exploded, making everyone realize that she was in the low level of the Ethereal Soul Realm.
Yasenia\'s pupils thinned as she analyzed the situation with her spiritual sense, and a plan formed instantly. \'Low-level Earth treasure. Strength is close to a level one Unification Realm Cultivator. Movements are practiced, so she isn\'t a novice assassin. Her intention is clearly to kill me. Whom might I have offended enough for them to try this? I can think of very few, but it can also be an unreasonable power that doesn\'t want me to take a piece of the pie.\'
Yasenia saw the sword reaching right before her stomach and smiled cruelly. \'Well, I expected something like this, and I haven\'t had action in a while.\'
*CLANG!*
Yasenia saw the dagger bounce off her blue [Empyrean Cosmos Dress], and Yasenia didn\'t move from her spot.
The harpy\'s face turned as pale as a sheet of paper as she saw sparks flying because of the friction between the dagger and Yasenia\'s dress. \'What kind of dress is this!?\'
She looked up only to meet a widely smiling face.
That smile looked like the grin of a demon in the Harpy\'s eyes.
Yasenia threw Florrie to the side and turned around. "Well, well, well. A little bird wants to play with me."
The harpy instantly knew that she had made a grave mistake and tried to flap and jump back.
However, it was too late.
A blurry shadow zoomed toward her and didn\'t allow her to react.
After a painful sensation on her chin, the harpy saw the word spinning as her body flew into the distance. Her body rolled on the ground until she hit a wall with tremendous force.
*BANG!*
Yasenia\'s blunt tail had hit her right on the chin, sending her spinning against a wall almost three hundred meters away instantly.
The powerful impact made the harpy\'s brain bounce, making her eyes dizzy and her body hurt.
Before she fell to the ground, Yasenia appeared beside her and grabbed her by her hair. "What, a single hit, and you are already like this? However, I must give it to you. Your body is somewhat resistant to keep your chin from shattering after that impact… Oh, never mind. You have a dislocated chin."
Yasenia grabbed the back of the harpy\'s head, lifted her, and then with a full body motion, she slammed downwards.
*BOOM!*
A powerful shockwave spread in the garden as soon as the face slammed into the ground.
The crunch of bones breaking filled the ears of the harpies, making them shudder.
They looked back and saw Yasenia calmly walking while dragging a bloodied harpy behind her.
This was a scene that many of them would not forget for a long time.
However, although this took much time to explain, not even ten seconds had passed since the harpy attacked.
Right after Yasenia began walking back, seven monstrous auras exploded from the girls, including Sierra, and slammed all the harpies onto the ground.
*BOOM!*
They all felt their hearts sinking like the Heavens were about to collapse as their bodies sank slowly, creating three hundred harpy-shaped craters.
Yasenia chuckled and disappeared for one second, reappearing in front of them while holding the fainted harpy. "I thought that my sincerity until now could have made you abandon your intentions of spying on me or trying to hurt me. I thought that you may have even come forward and explained yourselves. However, I really can\'t trust anybody in this World."
Yasenia looked around and asked. "Now, what should I do to make all of you, vermin, come out from the treasure trove I found and allow me to clean it?"
