Heaven, Earth, Me
Chapter 1258. Deal With Star Forge. Feixue’s Heartbreak.

After returning to Star Forge’s peak, the powerful woman and Yasenia sat in a room together. There, Star Forge began conversing with Yasenia. “Now that we are on the same side, you can be honest with me. Before, I was going to hide your identity, so you should’ve already realized that I have no animosity towards you.”

The dragoness listened calmly while sipping a mellow plum wine she brewed. 

“Having said that,” Star Forge looked at her seriously and asked. “Can you tell me what happened between you and Qingzhe? There is no way that woman would react as she has without being provoked first. You might not know, but her reputation of being someone rather isolated from all matters precedes any other quality she might have. Each time she had a problem with someone, it was for a good reason.”

The dragoness chuckled twice. She had expected something like this would happen when Star Forge asked her to return with her to the private house. “Nothing happened. I am being truthful.” 

She wouldn’t overcomplicate her answer. If Star Forge believed her, that was great. If not, there would be no way of convincing her otherwise, since nothing truly happened other than some verbal conflict. 

When such a simple answer came from the woman sitting calmly and sipping wine, Star Forge felt somewhat helpless. “Sigh… Anyway, let’s change subjects. When I said that I wanted your help, it was not entirely to mess with you. I actually need you to help me with some things. You are a Sixth Realm cultivator, and even if you are a beast, your knowledge in the Heavenly Path should be enough to teach mortal cultivators. You will start tomorrow morning and you’ll cover these subjects across the year.”

Star Forge flicked her wrist and summoned a jade slip with everything written on it. Yasenia didn’t pursue the matter of that woman and focused on this new task. Since she had agreed, she would complete it to the best of her abilities. 

“Star Forge, I am quite in need of gaining strength. So, while I can help you with these children, I ask you to give me most of the day to work on myself. I advanced to the Sixth Realm not long ago, so I want to create a solid foundation and develop my Intent Domain.”

Her words were more than reasonable, and Star Forge nodded easily. “Sure. You’ll give your classes twice a week for two hours each time. The time can be morning or afternoon. That’s up to you. What do you think?”

Yasenia tapped her chin with the jade slip and nodded. “Alright. Twice a week it is.” Then, she smiled at Star Forge. “Thank you.”

Star Forge waved her hand. “Don’t mind it.” Then, looking at the wine Yasenia was drinking, she asked. “So, do you have more of that wine? The scent is quite tempting.”

While somewhat surprised that a serious woman like Star Forge would be interested in this, she didn’t keep it to herself. “Of course! This is something I’ve brewed myself.”

“Right.” Star Forge remembered, and her lips arched in a small but teasing smile. “Didn’t you say something about making me meals and giving me acupuncture massages? You even gave me that delicious brownie…” Thinking of the delicious chocolate snack, Star Forge asked curiously. “Speaking of which, do you have more of those?” 

Yasenia laughed and teased back. “Craving my food~? I’ll let you eat as much as you want.”

Star Forge deadpanned. “Do you like innuendos? You’ve used them quite often, and we have not talked that much together. At this pace, you’ll make me think that you are attracted to women.” 

She gave the woman a large bag with bite-sized brownies before answering. “I am not attracted to women.” Yasenia started to add seriously. “I am only attracted to my wives.” 

Star Forge was caught off guard, and she choked. “Cough. You can’t joke around like that!” Star Forge spoke with a serious tone. “I don’t know how things are where you came from, but here, relations before marriage or same-sex relations are seen as taboo. Only those degenerate Dual Cultivation sects treat an action as sacred as that one like something casual.” 

The dragoness leaned to the side, placing her chin on her palm. “I didn’t know. Well, I’ll need to hide it in the future then.”

Star Forge observed Yasenia’s relaxed expression and asked, curious. “You… Are you really married to other females? Plural?” 

“Yes.” Yasenia was not someone ashamed of her wives. “I have six wives and one Spirit Companion Lover…. Speaking of whom… Soluna, love, are you still cultivating?”

Relations of that kind were so different from what she was accustomed to that Star Forge didn’t react until she heard an exotic voice. “I am awake~.”

The double-voice sounded like two people speaking with similar voices. It was easy to understand, but gave the owner of such a voice a layer of mysteriousness. Then, she saw someone appear on Yasenia’s lap. 

The woman who appeared was slightly shorter than an average-height woman. Her body was slender and beautiful, and she had a sleeveless, golden, silver, and blue dress depicting the stars, sun, and moon. Her hair followed a similar pattern, half of it being silver while the other half was golden in color. These two sides were separated by a celestial blue band in the middle. Then, her eyes were what caught Star Forge’s gaze the most. Gorgeous sapphire-colored eyes with different pupils, one of which represented the Moon and the other the Sun.

She was an exotic yet gorgeous woman who didn’t lose in appearance to herself. “Wait.” Star Forge frowned and grabbed her forehead. “Aren’t you a Beast? How come you have someone contracted with you?”

The dragoness raised her eyebrow while gently hugging Soluna in her arms. “Who said that Beasts couldn’t contract Spirits? The method is also not that much different than the one you humans use to tie down beasts.” 

Soluna giggled and rubbed her face on Yasenia’s neck. “I missed you~.”

Yasenia smiled softly and kissed the top of her head. “I missed you too, love.” 

Star Forge looked at them with a complicated expression. “I assume this is your lover, and not one of your wives…?” 

“Yes!” Soluna nodded with a happy smile. “A wife is a bit too heavy with the Spirit Contract we have. So, I told Yasenia that I wanted to just be lovers! Moreover, I respect Yasenia’s wives a lot, and I don’t want them to feel uncomfortable with my presence.”

The dragoness didn’t say much on this matter. After returning from the Secret Realm, the girls and Soluna spoke together, leaving her out of the conversation. While she could find out what they spoke about at any time, she decided not to meddle in their matters. She trusted everyone involved, and since they resolved it peacefully, there was no need for her to get involved. 

Star Forge picked another brownie piece and threw it in her mouth. “Hm… Hey. You aren’t aiming for me, right?”

The dragoness was sipping wine when Star Forge asked that, making her choke on her drink. “Cough. I am not, don’t worry.” 

Yasenia’s reaction gave way to Star Forge’s suspicions. When she saw that look, Yasenia rolled her eyes and placed her cheek against Soluna’s. “I have her. Do you think I’ll need you for any matter? Moreover, now that I can control my lust perfectly, I have no problems at all holding myself back.” 

Soluna laughed. “Don’t be so bad, Yasenia. Look at her face. That hurt her pride quite a bit!”

Star Forge snorted. “I don’t know what you see in Yasenia. Isn’t she just a promiscuous dragon?”

“Promiscuous?” Soluna blinked her gorgeous eyes a few times. “If Yasenia were promiscuous, the number of wives would be 600, not six. I was an exception that happened due to some very special circumstances. Honestly, if it weren’t because I almost died at that time, Yasenia probably wouldn’t have…”

The dragoness used her tail to slap her butt. “Don’t speak like that. It makes me feel as if I accepted you out of pity and not out of true feelings. No matter how close you were to…” The dragoness paused for a moment and turned Soluna’s head to look directly into her eyes. “I don’t want to think much about it. Still, I could’ve dual cultivated to save you and still maintain a normal relationship. I didn’t because I could feel myself being attracted to you. Don’t ever think that I accepted your feelings out of pity, do you understand me?”

Soluna blushed a bit and nodded happily, fiddling with her fingers as her toes curled in happiness. “O-Okay. I won’t.”

“Hey.” Star Forge interrupted the pink bubble surrounding the Spirit and Dragon. “Can you not shove dog food down my throat without any sort of care?”

Yasenia grinned. “Find someone to counter me with then.”

Star Forge waved her hand, shooing Yasenia away. “Go, go. Remember to come to the main pavilion in two days to give your first class. I’ll be there as well to supervise it, so don’t embarrass yourself.”

“Understood.” Yasenia stood up while holding Soluna in her arms and then turned to leave. 

Following the dragon’s back, Star Forge’s eyes followed the swaying hips and tail. After Yasenia left, she blinked and shook her head. “It’s not like I can’t understand why someone would want to be with that dragon, regardless of her gender. Still, I wonder how they will hold up after a few thousand years? Doesn’t Yasenia want to leave progeny?” 

It was a curious remark on her part, but she wouldn’t poke her nose where she didn’t need to.

Meanwhile, Yasenia traveled to Feixue’s residence with Soluna and entered inside, overcoming the defensive formation Feixue set up with so much ease that the alarms didn’t even go off. “Hm~, I’ll need to reinforce them later. At least to the level that mortals will have trouble entering.” 

“Yasenia?”

The dragoness and Soluna turned their heads to the side and saw Feixue sitting on her bed with a depressed expression. Soluna blinked twice and smiled at Yasenia and kissed her chin. “I’ll return inside. Be sure not to be too gentle or you’ll make the poor girl fall in love with you.”

Then, she transformed into a ray of light and entered Yasenia’s dantian.

Feixue was confused and looked at Yasenia. “Um… Who was that? Why could she enter inside you?”

The dragoness walked toward her and sat by her side. Then, using her tail, she picked the girl up and placed her on her lap. “Forget about that.” Yasenia looked at the young woman and smiled gently. “Tell me, girl. Why are you feeling depressed? Did something happen?”

Feixue opened and closed her mouth a few times, her eyes tearing up a bit. Then, she placed her face on Yasenia’s shoulder, sinking her body into the dragoness’s soft and comfortable body. “Just… Nothing much. A bit of a heartbreak, I guess.”

Yasenia lay on the bed while hugging her and patting her back gently. “There, there~. Love comes and goes. First, release your pent-up sadness, and then sleep. Come, cry in my bosom. Nobody will hear you here~.” 

“I… don’t want to cry… Sniff.” 

While she spoke like that, Yasenia could feel wetness against her skin. She didn’t talk and just hugged the girl to sleep. In her soft embrace, Luan Feixue felt protected and comfortable, as if she were in her mother’s loving arms.

The dragoness sighed softly while looking down. ‘I’ll let her sleep before I ask her about it.’
