Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 214:

Sarah first was surprised at Yasenia's strength, but right after seeing the violent aftermath, her stomach churned, and she began puking at the side. 'W-What was that!? S-So merciless and, and, the man exploded… Bleurgh!'

The shock of the gory kill was so high that she didn't even register Yasenia's strength yet. She was leaning on a tree, emptying her stomach.

Angel and Kali looked at Sarah with confusion and approached her from the back, patting her. Angel asked curiously, "Are you okay? Did you eat something bad?"

Sarah was crying and puking as she thought, 'Eat something bad? Why are neither of you affected by what just happened!?'

Kali wasn't as naïve as our little baby, so she said with a little bit of pity. "Sarah. You have to get used to seeing this kind of thing, or you will die young. When killing, you can't have the luxury to grant a beautiful kill." Angel blinked and understood that Sarah's current situation was because of the cultivator's death.

Yasenia approached after taking the man's spatial ring. She looked at Sarah and saw that she had stopped emptying her stomach, but her face was still ruined with tears and snot. Yasenia sighed and said, "Sarah, You may have been sheltered all your life, but things are crueler than you think. This world may be beautiful from the outside with the countless mystical landscapes, beautiful-looking people, and impossible things to discover that can change your perspective of the world. Even I'm relatively new to this world and still have many things to discover and explore."

Yasenia saw that Sarah was looking at her, so she took out a towel and began cleaning her face. "However, our world is cruel, so incredibly cruel that no one that enters the cultivation road is free of blood. Every single cultivator you have met and will meet are people who had most likely slaughtered other people in cold blood to remain alive. No matter how righteous they are, how good their morals are, or any other personal qualities they have. There is almost not a single cultivator that wouldn't kill many to save themselves."

Sarah looked up at Yasenia with teary eyes, and Yasenia said mercilessly. "In the cultivation world, you either become an unfeeling monster toward your enemies or die early under someone that was able to leave this human part behind. I hope your sheltered self can understand this; even if mercy has a place in the cultivation world, it is something only the strong have the leisure to have."

"You choose if you follow us. Angel, Kali, let's go." Yasenia didn't say anything more and turned in the direction of the town, walking away. Angel and Kali gave Sarah one last look and ran after her.

Sarah looked at their back and wanted to chase after them. However, her steps flattered when she looked at the pieces of flesh lying around. Her eyes watered again, and she looked down, 'I-I've always ridiculed those MCs that didn't push forward after their first killing but now... I-I can understand how they felt.'

Sarah chuckled with ridicule toward herself, her tears falling and unable to take that step after Yasenia. 'I bet those "Self-righteous" protagonists I ridiculed just didn't want to kill because it was too hard to see something like this again and again. I can completely understand why they didn't want to. That sweet ideal of not wanting to see something like this and have everything go your way.'

Sarah slightly trembled as she thought, 'Moreover, what if Yasenia and the others suddenly consider me an enemy or an obstacle to gain whatever they need? Wouldn't it be me the next person to die like that?'

[Host. Although you don't need Yasenia and the others, it would be wise to follow them. It is rare to find people like them in the cultivation world who don't want to exploit others immediately. Nonetheless, we can also survive if we are by ourselves. Moreover, this choice won't affect your mission about Yasenia. The Host can freely choose what to do.]

Sarah looked at their backs which were becoming almost invisible due to the vegetation around them, and she cleaned her tears. 'B-But what if they suddenly attack me? Have you seen Yasenia's strength!? I'm not her match! She truly is a chosen one or whatever. She just punched someone four levels higher to death as if they were trash!'

[Host. Remember that you have one life-saving treasure. You can try to be with them and run away if you think they have bad intentions. Although I don't want to force Host, this is a great chance; something like this doesn't happen often. From the data I have from previous systems, there are instances of the Hosts never triggering quests like this one in their tens of thousands of years.]

Sarah weighed her option for some minutes, and suddenly something flashed in her mind, 'Right, what if a cultivator with bad intentions crosses my path? Wouldn't I be in more danger alone than by Yasenia's side? Moreover, although these shocks certainly made me fear her, I still...'

Sarah didn't finish her sentence, but she gritted her teeth. 'Fuck, fuck, fuck! I will bet, then! I will bet in the woman that bent me!'

She looked in the direction where Yasenia already disappeared and ran after them.

Yasenia hadn't sped up toward the distance because she was somewhat struggling. She didn't want Sarah to come with her as having unknown variables would mean more risk, but at the same time, she also didn't want to leave her behind. 'She is just a naive woman that hasn't seen the world; it would be too heartless to leave her behind. But...'

Yasenia didn't know what to do, so she sighed and thought, 'I will let her decide; if after five minutes I don't hear her coming near, I will just go.'

Angel and Kali followed after Yasenia, and Angel asked, "Why aren't we going fast, Yasenia? Are you waiting for Sarah to come?"

Kali said, "I don't think she will come, Yasenia. You didn't see it, but her face when you killed that man was so bad that I think a heart demon was born in her heart."

Yasenia's face became strange, "You are making me pity her more."

Kali sighed, "Although I don't like her since she has intentions toward you, I understand that we shouldn't shun every person that likes you."

Angel chuckled, "If we do that, we might as well live alone, hahaha."

Yasenia hugged each of them with one arm, squishing their faces on her big, soft, and fragrant breasts, "Let's wait for some minutes. If she doesn't come, then, we can go our way."

Both of them snuggled closer to Yasenia and rubbed their faces on her. Yasenia took this as an affirmative, so she stopped and pampered her two dears while waiting, petting them, kissing them, or coiling her tail around them.

After four minutes, Yasenia, Angel, and Kali heard the fast steps behind and sighed, 'I thought she wouldn't come… Well, better to have one more ally than one more enemy.'

She released the purring Angel and Kali, turned with a smile, and said to the running woman, "I'm glad you came after us, Sarah. I was beginning to think you were afraid of me~, hahaha."

Sarah looked at the gently smiling dragoness, and her pale cheeks blushed slightly. 'S-So she was waiting for me here? Did she expect for me to come?'

Sarah fumbled with her hands and said, "I-I will work hard, Yasenia. So don't leave me behind."

Yasenia approached and patted her head, "I'm looking forward to it."

Then, she turned around and said. "Let's try to reach there before Noon. Use your movement techniques and follow after me."

The other three answered, "Yes!" contemporary romance

They began running seriously, and Yasenia began gauging Sarah's real strength with this run. To our dragoness surprise, she saw that speed-wise, even if she was slightly inexperienced, she was faster than Kali and Angel. Yasenia began taking this woman more seriously, 'She is stronger than I thought; even if her speed isn't comparable with Evelyn's, it is close. And this is right now that she seems inexperienced. What will happen after she masters this movement technique or gains experience?'

An enormous elephant-like creature appeared in their way, but Yasenia didn't do anything. Sarah was about to ask, but she heard Kali speaking, "[Golden crown], kill it."

The [Golden Crown] had been following in the surroundings all the time, blending with the vegetation. Even if she was a three-meter-tall lady, she was practically in her own domain, making her almost impossible to detect.

The transmigrator girl saw with astonishment as the forest surrounding the fifteen-meter-tall elephant came to life with the cracking sound of nature. After the surrounding vegetation literally came to life, the roots in a 500m radius shot toward it. Sarah had chills going up her spine as the roots attacked like countless whips, spears, and hammers, lashing, entangling, piercing, or beating the third-rank middle-level beast.

By the time they reached its side, they didn't even have to slow down because it was already dead. Then, Sarah saw Yasenia touching the giant creature, and something transparent but visible wrapped it and sucked it into the beautiful ring in her hand.

For the next creature, an eight-meter-tall bear, Yasenia told Angel to face it. Angel took out her shield that almost covered her body and shot forward with tremendous speed, using her movement technique and leaving Yasenia and the rest behind. Her steps seemed illusory, and her footwork erratic.

The bear saw Angel approaching and roared angrily, slapping with its paw with the intent to flatten Angel. However, it completely missed its attack as it smashed toward an after-image created by Angel.

By the time the bear realized it had been tricked, Angel was below it and had charged enough energy to create a thick and powerful laser beam. The laser shot from her shield in a circular beam three meters wide and pierced the bear's head from below, creating an enormous hole in the skull.

Angel then jumped and sharpened the edges of her shield, slashing toward the neck of the tall bear. Like a hot knife through butter, Angel sliced the giant head of the bear into the air. Yasenia jumped and caught Angel midair, absorbing the bear inside her ring as she did that. Angel smiled sweetly and smooched Yasenia's cheek. Yasenia chuckled and let her go when they landed.

Without looking back, they continued running. As they ran toward the town, Sarah was completely stupefied at their killing efficiency.

Kali and Angel took turns and killed the beasts in their way with increasing efficiency as if they were swords being sharpened. They were like grim reapers taking wildlife left and right. And the artisan sharpening them and giving them advice from time to time was Yasenia, always providing accurate orders and tips that even Sarah could understand and implement.

They saw some cultivators moving around from time to time, but Sarah realized that Yasenia just looked at them for a short time and continued forward. Sarah was somewhat surprised, 'So she won't kill everything in her way; she even let some beasts go. What is going on inside her head?'

The beasts Yasenia didn't order to attack were intelligent, those who gained sapience. Yasenia could identify them easily because, at the end of the day, Yasenia was also an intelligent beast, a dragon in human form, but a pure dragon nonetheless. The only reason she was in human form was that her gestation and mother were human; it wouldn't be long before Yasenia unlocked her natural form.

Even if killing wild beasts that were unintelligent was something that Yasenia wasn't against, for Yasenia, beasts, humans, demons, or any intelligent creatures were the same. And although she had a slight bias toward humans because of her growing ambient and her lovers' race, she wouldn't kill indiscriminately intelligent creatures unless necessary or if they had pissed her off.

After 20 minutes of running around, they reached the area near the town. To their surprise, there was quite a crowd nearby. Yasenia and the others stopped and looked around to understand what was happening.
