The next day at noon…
"Miss, it is already noon. Even if you want to sleep, didn't you want to accompany mister Oliver outside to buy some cultivation tools?"
Yasenia opened her eyes lazily and sat up. Then she looked at Eve, a little dazed, and asked groggily. "Noon?"
Seeing her adorable appearance, Eve chuckled and answered. "Yes, miss, it is already noon."
Yasenia woke up completely and jumped out of bed when the words sank in, exclaiming, "Why didn't you wake me up sooner!?"
Eve answered, "Lady Tatyana said that you were tired and that we shouldn't bother you until noon."
Yasenia heard 'Lady Tatyana', and she tripped, almost falling. However, she used her tail and managed to straighten herself. "W-well, if mom told you, then it doesn't matter."
She extended her tail like always, wrapped it around Eve, and dragged her to the wardrobe room, hiding her red face. Meanwhile, Eve was chuckling at her dorkiness.
Like that, the days passed, the weeks went on, and before they knew it, seven months had passed. In the backyard, Yasenia was cultivating at dawn. Because of her attributes, the best times for gathering energy were from dawn to sunrise and sunset to dusk because the moon, sun, and stars were present.
These hours are also called the twilight time. Apart from these, Noon and Midnight are also extremely beneficial since it is when the Sun energy and the moon's energy are strongest.
Her cultivation technique [Convergence of celestial bodies] has various stages. The more one comprehends, the faster you will cultivate, and you will be able to unlock different stages. She has looked at the strongest state out of curiosity, and it is called [Celestial Divinity]. She will be able to start using it only when she can create a real Sun, Moon, AND stars on top of her hand.
It has a grand total of five stages, and inside of each, there are three more. Each of the three levels is related to the Sun, Moon, and stars. The five major stages are; Presence of celestial bodies, Absorption of celestial light, connection with celestial bodies, celestial bodies and spirit as one, and celestial bodies within my hand.
Then, the small stages for the first are the Presence of the Sun, the Presence of the Moon, and the Presence of the stars. The rest also follow a similar trend; Absorption of sunlight, absorption of moonlight…
She has already comprehended the Presence of the Sun and the Presence of the Moon, giving her body a golden and silver glow only visible in dark spaces. It was discovered in one of their rendezvous at night, trying to do it in total darkness. Yasenia can, as a matter of course, control it.
Their relationship has only improved within these months. Tatyana was waiting for her to comprehend the presence of the stars before talking to her about her constitution. She didn't want Yasenia to have doubts or anything before completing this.
Right now, the two of them were in the hall sipping some tea. "Mom, I can't understand, in my opinion, the presence of the stars is faint, so it should be the weakest of them, right? The stars are always eclipsed by the radiance of the Moon or the Sun. Knowing this, why can't I seem to break through to the next level?"
Tatyana, like always, maintained her silence and let Yasenia think for herself. Yasenia knew that no one would answer her questions, but she liked to say them aloud because it helped her find faults in her words. Yasenia tapped the floor with her tail repeatedly, showing that she was close, yet couldn't grasp the final concept that was escaping her.
She saw the pastry crumbs accumulated on her lap and bosom because of her absentminded state when she looked down. She couldn't help but complain, "Tch, why didn't you say that I was spreading crumbs everywhere, mom?" And then she paused.
Her mouth arched upwards, and her tail slapped the ground strongly. "How could I forget! Even if the presence of the stars is weak, they are everywhere! Although the sun and moon's presence is strong, they only occupy a small part of the sky. The stars are the opposite! Their presence is small, but they occupy the whole sky, sometimes overshadowing even the moon and the sun!"
Tatyana's mouth also arched upwards, and the maids around had proud smiles on their faces. They said at the same time, "Congratulations, miss!"
Yasenia happily ate the pastries and continued to talk with Tatyana for the rest of the day until twilight came.
Yasenia sat in a mermaid-like position on the outside, her legs sideways and one on top of the other. She supported her upper body with a single hand, making quite a seductive posture.
She wore a short red kimono with pink edges and flowers adorning the whole length of the garment. It was opened in the chest, showing her white mountains yet hiding the most important part. The short skirt didn't conceal her plump thighs and long legs. However, her long sleeves covered her tender arms, giving her a delicate and seductive feeling.
This was her energy-gathering robe, named [Flowers and spring kimono]. She needed a lot of skin exposure to practice her cultivation technique because she needed to feel the celestial bodies in the sky. Her tail went through a special opening and circled around her on the ground, bathing in the glow of the setting sun.
With her eyes closed and a relaxed smile on her face, the light from the sunset was illuminating her whole figure. She looked like a seductive goddess, attracting the attention of every mortal. Even if they were at a distance, the maids and guards around couldn't help but be enchanted.
When the sun lowered enough, the Moon and stars started appearing. A golden and silver glow appeared around her. Then Yasenia opened her eyes, looking at the stars in the sky. With the Sun in front of her and the moon behind, above her, countless stars glittered in the twilight sky! At that moment, she felt something.
She focused, and when the sun was about to disappear, lights started to appear like white fireflies around her body! The golden-silvery glow surrounded by countless white lights made her as beautiful as a night full of stars! *Bang! * Something broke inside her.
She managed to break through the 8th level of the Opening realm, creating perfectly the meridians on the tail! Not only that, but she also comprehended the [Presence of the stars], Completing the first level of her cultivation technique.
Then she exhaled, and a happy smile appeared on her face. She spoke slowly and gently, "Finally."
And everyone woke up thanks to that. One guard said, "Congratulations, miss!"
One maid said, chuckling, "Miss is so beautiful; she will charm everyone in the academy when she goes there."
Another maid answered whit a prideful smile, "Our miss is the best. In only seven months, she broke through the eighth level of the opening realm."
Another maid nodded, "Normally, genius cultivators with only one extremely rare attribute need one and a half years to do the same."
Tatyana approached Yasenia and glomped herself into her embrace. "As expected of my daughter. The next two realms are the easiest; you just need to accumulate energy to create the dantian and then breakthrough. You will end one month earlier than I expected!"
She tiptoed and kissed Yasenia on the cheek. "Good job!"
Yasenia answered with a kiss on her forehead and carried her in a princess hug with the help of her tail and arms. Then she said cheerfully, "Go, go, go! This miss is going to eat until she explodes to celebrate my double breakthrough!" Tatyana laughed and let herself be carried.
After dinner, they went to their bedroom and rolled on the beds for a while.
Tatyana was breathing roughly and thought that now she could finally tell her about her constitution. She looked at the person below her, that had a happy smile on her lips, and hesitated a bit before speaking. "Love, I have something to say about your constitution."
Yasenia used her tail and arms to curl around Tatyana and said languidly, "Is there something wrong with it?"
Tatyana answered hesitantly, "It is not exactly wrong… But it truly is a little troublesome…."
Yasenia looked at the strange face that Tatyana was making and kissed her in the form of encouragement. "No matter what difficulties, I told you before that I rather us be honest and think of solutions than make assumptions and create misunderstandings."
Tatyana looked at her and finally blurted it out. "Your constitution is special in the sense that you are very lustful. Moreover, the deeper you go into the mortal realms, the more pronounced this quality will become" She paused a little and let it sink in.
Yasenia thought about it and said, "It is true that my libido has been growing the past months, but you can take it easy because of your cultivation base, right?"
Tatyana nodded and continued. "The problem is, can you imagine if I was someone at the same cultivation level as you?"
Yasenia thought and said, "She wouldn't be able to take me… But the thing is that you aren't someone with low cultivation, so I don't see the problem?"
Tatyana continued, "Your body grows in lust because you need nourishment from a Yin or Yang source. Thanks to the automatic balance of your body, If you grow your Yang quality, your constitution will upgrade your Yin quality or vice versa. The problem is that you can't absorb my Yin energy because you would explode from the amount of energy that it contains… To absorb my energy, you need to, at least, pass all the mortal realms."
Yasenia nodded. "En, I know. But I still don't see the problem, isn't my normal cultivation technique feeding my Yin and Yang energies?"
Tatyana said, "Normally that should be the case, but because the upgrading speed of quality of energies would be slow, your constitution uses that energy to upgrade the quantity of your Yin and Yang energies. This is what makes your lust grow."
Then she continued, "That is why I gave you the dual cultivation technique."
Yasenia, now knowing where this was going, was surprised, "Are you telling me to dual cultivate with other people!?"
Tatyana nodded meekly; Yasenia responded, "Absolutely not! I told you already that I would be loyal to you. If it is about the quality of my Yin and Yang energies, can't I use some treasures? Not to mention, it only affects me until I pass the mortal cultivation realms, right?"
Yasenia tightened her embrace and looked at Tatyana's eyes directly with her golden eyes. "I won't betray you, no matter how you put it."
Tatyana smiled gently and kissed the furious person in front of her softly to relax her. Then she persuaded, "Don't worry, Love, this isn't betrayal, aren't I consenting to it? Moreover, anyone with Yin or Yang constitutions will most of the time have a harem, girls with yin constitutions normally have four or so males, and the males are the same."
"The only exceptions are when you find someone with the same quality as your energy. If a cultivator finds someone like that, they normally will become a couple or Dao companions. After that, they will only dual cultivate with each other to not break the balance and advance in the cultivation path together."
Yasenia frowned and said weakly, "I don't want to have a harem…."
Tatyana looked and asked strangely, "Why are you so against it even after I gave you permission?"
Yasenia answered softly, "Isn't it because of you?"
Tatyana asked, "Me? Didn't I just give permission?"
Yasenia answered strangely, "Don't you hate harems after being a part of one in the past with that male? And wouldn't you become uncomfortable with me dual cultivating with other people?"
Tatyana blinked, and then it dawned on her! She laughed and said, "Do you think every harem will end with hundreds of people? I will only give you five slots!"
Then Tatyana showed a cold smile. "If you dare to bring back more than five girls, I will cut your smaller tail!"
Then she said, "By the way, don't let me know that males touched you."
She smiled sweetly, saying, "Do you understand, love?"
Yasenia winced and thought, 'No males, forbidden males, what is a male? Is it delicious?'
Yasenia relaxed and said, "I won't actively search for partners. If I return with nobody, you can't reprimand me!"
Tatyana flickered her forehead and answered calmly, "Then I will let all the maids you can absorb energy from play with you."
Yasenia had the vision of being thrown in the middle of a bunch of starved beasts and eaten alive, so she said, "I will find four beautiful daughters-in-law for you, I promise!"
Tatyana smiled with satisfaction "Sleep, love, thank you for understanding." She gave her one last kiss, snuggled in Yasenia's embrace, and closed her eyes.
The next day at noon…
"Miss, it is already noon. Even if you want to sleep, didn't you want to accompany mister Oliver outside to buy some cultivation tools?"
Yasenia opened her eyes lazily and sat up. Then she looked at Eve, a little dazed, and asked groggily. "Noon?"
