Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 252: Unexpected Harvest!

Kali nodded, "I blocked it a meter away from the Queen. It was very close."

Yasenia asked with interest, "How did you discover the traitors?"

Both of them looked at Yasenia with puzzled expressions and asked simultaneously, "What traitors?"

Yasenia was momentarily stumped. Seeing their clueless faces, she smirked and pinched their cheeks, "The carriage driver and one of the guards were spies! Don\'t tell me that you really didn\'t realize."

Angel and Kali looked at each other, then at Yasenia, and they shook their heads in sync. Yasenia burst into laughter and hugged them, "You both are so cute. Were you so strong that they didn\'t dare go forward with their plans? Anyway, let\'s forget about it and choose an artifact."

They snuggled closer to Yasenia and smiled, not caring about it anymore. They separated and entered the place for Heaven Gate challengers. The reason the four gates were open was that a challenger could take treasures from their rank and those of lesser level. For example, an Earth Level challenger would have been able to choose treasures from the mortal treasury but not from the Heaven one.

Inside the Heaven treasury, there were plenty of treasures of different categories. There were treasures for Alchemy, blacksmithing, spear users, sword users... You name it; they had it. The lowest rank of the treasures was low-level Heaven Ranked. Almost ninety percent of all the treasures were in this rank.

Yasenia said, "Look around by yourself. If you find something you like, let me know. I don\'t really need anything for myself… Why are you looking at me like that?"

Angel snorted and continued looking at the items, ignoring Yasenia. Yasenia felt like someone had punched her gut with a metal gauntlet. \'My baby is ignoring me!?\'

Yasenia instantly flashed beside Angel and nuzzled her cheeks with her, "Don\'t be angry, baby. It is true that I don\'t need anything. Unless there is a high-level Heaven-ranked dress or accessory I can equip, there isn\'t anything that I need."

Angel said, unconvinced, "What about an alchemy cauldron? Or the other profession tools? When you manage to understand why you can\'t do things, you will need them."

Yasenia waved her hand and showed her and Kali the nine treasures with a smile. "I already have them! Don\'t worry, baby."

Angel and Kali were speechless, \'Did she create them out of nothingness so that we don\'t get angry? When did she get them!?\'

Yasenia saw their faces and laughed, "Mom gave them to me right before we entered the secret realm. I don\'t really know why she won\'t give them to me after we get out, but I can guess that something has gone very wrong on the outside. Moreover, I can use these nine treasures. Mom should have given them to me in case I don\'t understand how my energy works with objects after a long time."

Yasenia continued convincing them, "Moreover, my sword grows in strength, my battle dress is low-level Heaven ranked, my gloves and leather gauntlets are low-level Heaven ranked and high-level Earth ranked, and my energy gathering kimono is also low-level Heaven ranked. I have plenty of life-saving treasures, and my spatial ring is of a quality I can\'t even understand! I really don\'t need anything right at the moment! That is why I want things for you."

Angel sighed and hugged Yasenia, burying her little face between her breasts while looking up with a resigned face, "Okay, if I want something, I will ask you."

Yasenia picked her up and wanted to kiss her, but an invisible force stopped her. Yasenia and Angel blinked, confused.

They tried kissing again, and it was impossible. Their lips stopped five centimeters away.

Kali looked at the funny faces they were making and burst into laughter. "What are you two doing? Mimicking an octopus? Hahaha."

Yasenia put Angel down and said with interest, "Maybe this zone is protected so that people that come here don\'t do anything other than choose their artifacts?"

Kali thought about it and said, "Maybe, but let\'s not test the limits. We may be kicked out if we aren\'t careful. Worst case scenario, lighting will strike us down!"

Yasenia agreed, "Remember all the treasures you like. We may be able to come back here in the future after completing other Monoliths, but I\'m sure that the number of times we can visit here is very limited."

Then, they separated and looked around. Since most treasures were low-level Heaven rank, they didn\'t take much time as that level of treasure was already lacking as a reward for them. There were few in the middle level, even fewer in the high level. Yasenia\'s treasure sense was going somewhat wild with so many treasures around, but she suddenly caught a powerful aura. Her eyes shone as she looked toward her right, \'Oh wow! A very powerful treasure is that way~.\'

Yasenia followed her instincts with a money-grubber expression. "Powerful treasure~, come to mama dragon~."

Kali and Angel looked at how Yasenia was acting and giggled. They were curious as to what would trigger Yasenia that way, so they followed after the wagging tail of the dragoness.

After making some turns around the corridors, they reached a hidden door. Searching normally for treasures would be almost impossible to find it. Yasenia carefully pushed it open, and her treasure senses tingled powerfully. \'Oh my~, so mighty!\'

They entered the mostly empty room and looked around. There were three platforms with one treasure floating above each of them. When Angel placed her eyes on them, she couldn\'t help but exclaim, "Transcendent-ranked treasures!"

That\'s right. They were transcendent ranked treasures!

Their auras were so profound that they had a hint of dignity in them, and their glow was as appealing as the stars in the sky.

Yasenia and Kali were naturally surprised as they didn\'t think they would be able to look at a transcendent ranked treasure so soon. The only one they had ever laid their eyes on, besides those equipped by the seniors, was the [Glass Heart]. The prize for the tournament.

Yasenia looked around the room, trying to spot any traps. But she was unable to find any hints of a trap.

Moreover, this place was the reward room. Creating a trap here would be absurd, as it wouldn\'t follow the intention of making this place.

Therefore, Yasenia was quite sure that it was safe.

The three of them approached the platforms and looked at them thoroughly.

The treasure to their left was a watermelon-sized rock. However, this rock\'s surface was similar to a cloudy sky, as patterns of moving clouds and rain filled the smooth, spherical rock. Furthermore, some lightning cracked across its surface when the patterns became more stormy, and even a chilling air enveloped it when snow formed.

It was a very mesmerizing rock.

The treasure in the middle was much more simple but as beautiful nonetheless. It was a light-blue key seemingly made out of crystal. The light that refracted on it would break and form various colors, creating a beautiful spectacle around it.

The final treasure was a fist-sized cauldron. It had images of rivers and mountains on it, looking like a miniature work of art than something usable.

The name of each treasure was written on their platforms, and after admiring the three treasures for a while, Yasenia read their names from left to right. "[Weather Controlling Primal Stone], [Truth Crystal Key], [Earth Refining Cauldron]."

Yasenia wasn\'t sure if they would be useful, so she asked, "Do you want any of these?"

Kali said something sensible, "How about we take the three of them? They may come in handy in the future. Even if we don\'t want them for the moment, I\'m sure that transcendent ranked treasures won\'t be useless."

Yasenia nodded, "Well, it is true."

Angel said, "Yasenia, can I get that key? I can feel a small connection with it."

Yasenia nodded, "In case the treasures became linked to our souls after picking them up, let\'s pick the most suitable one for each other. I will take the [Weather Controlling Primal Stone]. Kali, you take the [Earth Refining Cauldron]. If it is an alchemy cauldron, your refining speed will take a giant step forward."

Kali agreed. She was quite eager to make some pills using that cauldron.

The three of them didn\'t doubt anymore and stored them inside their rings. Then, they disappeared from that place and appeared in front of the Monolith with Sarah and another random.

Sarah looked at Yasenia and whined, "Who can stop that arrow? It was too sudden. I lost my chance to complete it flawlessly because of that."

Yasenia patted her and said, "We can always repeat it in the future. I don\'t know if you can enter the treasury after failing to do so the first time, but it is worth trying. Let\'s look at the other five Monoliths we\'ve planned and then repeat the most efficient one to gain points."

Then, without delay, they moved toward the next Monolith. While they were walking, Angel was looking at the key curiously. It was made of blue crystal and was semi-transparent with a mysterious aura around it. It was honestly mesmerizing.

Yasenia had to surround Angel\'s waist with her tail and guide her so that she didn\'t collide with other people. Angel said, "Yasenia, I think I can gain something from this. But I\'m not sure…."

Yasenia smiled, "Let\'s ask the Guard Captain then."

They changed directions and reached the armory. This time they entered through the entrance without trouble and arrived at the Guard Captain\'s office.

Yasenia knocked on the door and said. "We would like to have a conversation with the Guard Captain."

"Enter." Said a man\'s deep voice.

Yasenia didn\'t delay and opened the door. However, her movements stopped as she saw three Demons together with two human Demonic Cultivators.

Both groups froze, but they knew they couldn\'t create trouble, so they didn\'t say anything. Nonetheless, Yasenia saw the surprise in their eyes quickly being replaced by a vicious and slimy gaze. Yasenia internally frowned even if her expression didn\'t change, \'This is bad. Demons have started entering the town...\'
