Heaven, Earth, Me
Chapter 1259. A Sweet Time With Luan Feixue.

Luan Feixue opened her eyes dazedly. Her body felt as if she were floating in fluffy clouds, and her scent receptors were happily dancing as a sweet floral scent gently enveloped her senses. Whatever was surrounding her was at a perfect temperature; even with skin-to-skin contact, there was no sense of discomfort. When her eyes focused, she saw a patch of beyond-perfect skin. It was so supple that it looked as if water was going to come out if you pinched it a little too hard. 

A strange urge to bite overcame her, but she reacted before she took action because she heard a voice that would make those accustomed feel their bones soften. “Is the little girl awake~? How did you sleep in my arms, eh?” 

Feixue blinked twice and looked up, only to have her eyes blinded by a peerlessly seductive face. Red soft lips, straight eyebrows, long eyelashes, hooked eyes, and a mole under the golden eyes that looked like molten gold, which could attract the souls of those who looked. Who else could it be other than Yasenia? “Y-Yasenia? W-W-Why are you hugging me!?”

Seeing the little girl’s face flush up to her ears, Yasenia laughed, enhancing her already gorgeous facial features. “Someone came home crying last night, so I thought I’d make you feel a bit better~. I am, after all, your Beast Companion, aren’t I?” Feixue’s eyes widened, and Yasenia smiled gently. “I’ve been neglecting you a bit these days, haven’t I? I needed to sort some things out with the sect before I could gain free time.” 

Feixue looked down and buried her face in Yasenia’s ample bosom. Honestly, she didn’t know why she was acting like a little girl when she was with Yasenia. But everything around Yasenia made her seem motherly and gentle, pushing Feixue’s desire to be pampered by her. Strangely, even at this moment, there was not even a bit of romantic desire. Just a pure desire to be taken care of by her. That made Feixue’s thoughts become somewhat strange. ‘Do I lack sexual drive? Is that why I am not able to feel any lust toward the most attractive being I’ve encountered in my life?’ 

It was a strange but honestly valid thought to have. Still, when something transcended a certain realm, one lost the ability to lust for it, as those feelings evolved into appreciation and respect. In Feixue’s mind, Yasenia was like a goddess far up in the sky, so having any strange thoughts about her not only felt wrong, but they also felt blasphemous. 

Yasenia’s hand gently tapped Feixue’s back, using her tail and wing to envelop Feixue in a protective cocoon. ‘My children love it when I hug them like this. I guess Feixue also does since she is hugging me tighter~.’

After staying silent for a few minutes while being hugged by Yasenia’s entire being, Feixue slowly lifted her face to look at the patient dragoness. Then, she spoke with a saddened face. “Shen Miao got into a relationship with Senior Brother Xing Luo.” 

The dragoness was surprised. ‘That arrogant missy got into a relationship?’ But after thinking about it, she didn’t find it that strange. While Shen Miao looked arrogant, she had a good heart. Her actions and speech were almost opposite, which probably attracted Xing Luo. ‘Hm? Now that I think about it…’ Yasenia blinked. ‘Xing? Isn’t the Sect Master also surnamed Xing?’

Feeling that she had made an interesting discovery, Yasenia refocused on Feixue’s words. 

“Honestly… I didn’t expect to be so attached to Shen Miao. At first, I even buried what I felt because I found it strange to feel anything other than friendship for Shen Miao. However, after hearing about your relationships, I decided to try to accept those feelings. Who knew…” Feixue’s eyes teared up, and she buried her face in Yasenia’s ample bosom again. “The day I wanted to tell her, she came with a wide and happy smile, holding Xing Luo’s hand, and she beamed at me that they’ve become a Dao Couple.” 

Yasenia sighed softly and kissed Feixue’s dark hair. It was partly her fault, so she had to take responsibility. If Yasenia had not influenced Feixue, her feelings wouldn’t have bloomed. After all, everyone was taught that same-sex relationships were taboo. “What are you planning to do now, Feixue?” 

“What can I do?” Feixue showed an ugly smile. “I’ll just cheer them on and slowly forget about my feelings…” She then asked. “Um… Do you know any meditation methods to separate mortal feelings from oneself?”

“I don’t,” Yasenia answered faintly and used her index finger to gently clean slowly spilling tears. “I’ve never been someone who favors forgetting or cutting mortal feelings. Why would one want immortality if not to feel alive for a long time and experience things? If you detach your feelings and live for a million years, you are no different than a sentient rock.”

Feixue showed a sad expression. “T-Then… What do I do? It feels so stuffy inside…” 

The dragoness lifted Feixue to her eye level and smiled. “Experience it.” Feixue blinked, confused, and listened to the beautiful dragon speak. “Feel how much it hurts, think on why it hurts, and let time slowly close that wound. It might leave behind a small scar, but so what? Our emotional scars help shape us. All feelings you’ve forgotten won’t have any influence on who you are. Yasenia Dravory is me because of all I’ve experienced, good and bad. Luan Feixue should also be the same, don’t you think so?”

Those words were like a thunderbolt in the middle of a cloudy sky, washing most of the darkness away for a few moments. Then, even when darkness returned, the flash of enlightenment made the dark feelings not feel as burdensome. A pretty smile appeared on Feixue’s face. “I see… Thank you, Yasenia!”

The dragoness rubbed her cheek with Feixue’s. “Don’t worry~.” Feixue flushed when the velvety feeling of Yasenia’s skin rubbed against hers. She muttered with a frown. “When you do that, it makes me think that my skin is as coarse as tree bark in comparison…” She put on an annoyed expression. “Why are you so perfect!? Is this a Dragon-specific thing?”

Yasenia showed a smug smile. “Jealous? Sorry, little girl, this dragoness has been born with unequal beauty. You can only feel jealous for the rest of your life.” 

“Woah…” Feixue blurted. “Calling your own appearance unequal is the most narcissistic thing I’ve heard in my entire life.”

“What did you say~?”

The dragoness tickled Feixue’s sides, making the girl explode in laughter as she squirmed in Yasenia’s embrace. “Pfthahahah! Stop! Stop! Yasenia, ahahaha! Stooopp!!”

A few minutes later, Feixue and Yasenia were in the same bath, with Feixue sitting between Yasenia’s legs and having her hair slowly cleaned by her. The little girl felt shy, but inside, her heart was comfortable and happy. ‘This feels like when I bathed with my mother when I was little…’

The dragoness didn’t realize her own growing motherly affection toward Feixue. Her pregnancy influenced this, which heightened all her maternal instincts. Seeing that Feixue was someone worth taking care of, she slowly developed fondness toward her. 

Rinsing her hair with water-coated hands, Yasenia asked. “How is your cultivation doing? Are you advancing in the other three paths?”

“I am.” Feixue turned around with a smile. “A bit more time and I’ll reach the peak of both the Soul and Body First Realms.” 

The first two realms were the Initial Foundation Phase and the Soul Molding Realm. When these two were completed, the body would become a container for energy, while the scattered soul would gain shape and become much easier to use. Moreover, thanks to having practiced the Spiritual Path to the Mental Nourishing Realm, her enhanced mental capabilities, meridians, and dantian greatly aided her during the process. 

Yasenia pondered for a bit as she heard Feixue relate her experiences. ‘Perhaps, instead of starting all three paths at the same time, it is better for the Spiritual Path to develop to the peak of the Third Realm.’ Honestly, everyone was relatively new in this field. So, while her children were taught to establish all three paths simultaneously from a young age, that might not have been entirely effective.

‘If I get a few disciples, I can train them differently and see the effects. Although each person is their own world, I can probably derive some conclusions through trial and error.’ But as she thought of that, she saw Feixue speaking happily to her about how her cultivation was going. ‘... Can I ruin the future of an innocent child just to test these things?’ 

Yasenia didn’t consider herself merciful, but she was not a cruel sociopath, only focused on results. Shaking her head, Yasenia squished Feixue’s cheeks and hugged her in her arms, leaning back gently. Not to bother the little girl, she was wearing a set of panties with a spatial pocket that hid her… dragon. So, for Feixue, Yasenia looked like a full-fledged female wearing panties. 

“Y-Yasenia, we are both naked! Don’t hug me like this!”

Seeing Feixue’s red face only made Yasenia laugh. She was floating using her tail and wings for buoyancy. So having Feixue lie on top of her didn’t sink them at all. “Just relax~. Today is a special day since little Feixue got her heart hurt~.” 

Feixue harrumphed, but her eyes were shining with joy as she sank into the softness of the dragon woman. ‘Wah… So comfy. No wonder I slept so deeply… Also, haven’t we just showered? Why does she still smell sweet and flowery? So strange.’

Yasenia moved them across the wide bath she prepared using her tail as a propeller. They only left when the warm water began cooling down. 

While they wore their clothes, Feixue became somewhat bold and asked. “W-Why do you wear panties? Is it because that place is too precious?”

The dragoness almost choked and glanced at Feixue incredulously. “You’ve really become bold, eh?”

The girl snapped, her face a touch colored. “You’ve made me lie in your naked breasts for almost an hour! If I don’t become bold, do I need to remain a coward for the rest of my life!?” 

Blinking a few times, Yasenia shrugged. “Touché.” Then, she chuckled. “It’s not because it is so precious that I can’t show it. But because it would be inappropriate and might make you get strange ideas.” 

“Huh? I don’t understand…” 

“It doesn’t matter. Now, forget about that and come change clothes.” 

Not minding her words, Yasenia put on her clothes and helped Feixue do the same.

Feixue wore a white cultivator robe with a skirt and long sleeves. She looked pretty and clean, and her excellent facial features added a sensation of freshness and energy. Her hair was styled in a low-hanging ponytail, giving her a sense of both softness and heroism. Overall, she was like a young girl ready to take on the world. 

Meanwhile, Yasenia covered her body in a modest long blue robe with images of dancing white phoenixes, giving her the air of an immortal. Her face was half-covered with a black translucent veil, which highlighted the beauty of her golden eyes while also restraining some greedy looks. At the end of the day, even when the long-sleeved dress covered most of her skin, it was impossible to hide her vertigo-inducing figure.

As they walked, her long black hair, wings, and tail moved behind her, garnering the attention of all the cultivators who saw her pass. 

“Who is that gorgeous senior?”

“I have never seen her… She looks like a dragonkin?”

“Since when did we have such a beautiful woman in our sect?”

“I think I am in love…”

Feixue felt an urge to poke the eyes of the people ogling Yasenia. Somewhat annoyed, she asked. “Where are we going? Is there a reason we need to walk instead of moving with flying swords?”  

The dragoness was so accustomed that her brain didn’t even register that type of gaze anymore. Unless they were the sticky and sickly kind, the dragoness would ignore them. At the end of the day, she lost nothing for people who appreciated her beauty. “We’ll go on foot. After all, we need to investigate the sect to find a suitable location where I can give my future lessons. I also want to get familiar with the layout of this place.”

“Lessons?” Curiosity shone in Feixue’s eyes, and she forgot about those around them. She happily grabbed Yasenia’s soft and elegant hands and asked. “What lessons are you talking about?”

Seeing her pair of dark, curiosity-filled, shining eyes, the dragoness smiled faintly under her veil and explained. “After talking with your Sect Master, I’ve been admitted as a Guest Elder in your sect. I’ll be giving classes twice a week for two hours to mortal cultivators. Overall, I’ll focus on whatever realm you are in. Now, I teach classes to cultivators from the Unification Realm and below. Depending on my performance, things might change.”  

“Woah!” Feixue jumped excitedly, swinging Yasenia’s arm back and forth. “So, you’ll be my formal teacher as well!? That’s great!”

The dragoness’s lips arched below the half-veil she wore, and she gently squeezed Feixue’s small hand. ‘Cute~.’
