Chapter 943: Estre''s Reaction. Cracking The Eggs!
Estre woke up, and even before opening her eyes, she smiled. Around her, the warmth and softness of her Mommy enveloped her, so she knew that her pretty mommy with a dragon tail like hers was hugging her.
She felt a soft yet slim hand caress her hair, face, cheeks, and eyshes, tickling her and making herugh. With herugh, an answer from the woman holding her came to her. "Oh~? Is my little darling awake?"
The voice was so soothing, so gentle, so full of tenderness that even when she was very young, Estre could feel her mother''s love for her. She opened her eyes and looked up beyond her mother''s ample chest; she saw her pretty Mommy looking down at her with a smile.
"How are you feeling, Baby?"
Estre felt a bubbling happiness in her chest and eximed with a big smile. "Great! I love you, Mommy!"
Her dragon mother smiled at her and leaned down to nt a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I love you too, Estre."
Then, Estre asked. "Mommy, did the ritual go well?"
Estre has heard the exnation of what the ritual would do, which would, more or less, tell her talent for cultivating. Cultivating was very important to her Mommy.
Estre understood that much. After all, even though she was a one-year-old, as a dragon, her intelligence was close to that of a typical six-year-old human.The hand caressing her head paused for a second but then continued like always. The smile her Mommy carried looked as tender as always as she spoke. "Well, Baby''s ritual was very special."
Estre blinked and asked, confused. "Special?"
Her motherughed. "That''s right. Estre is going to be a great martial artist!"
Estre tilted her head again. "Martial artist? Like, using swords and sticks?"
Her mother nodded. "That''s right. So, from today on, Baby will train in the martial arts path! We need to discover what kind of weapon Baby likes and has talent with, and we need to discover what kind of style Baby likes. We must also find a technique that suits your human and future dragon form."
Estre hummed and asked shyly. "Um. I also want to be like Mommy and make those big stars appear!"
Estre saw her mother look at her with a gaze she couldn''t understand. As a child, she was perceptive, so she knew that it was not a bad gaze, but it was also not a good one. Estre didn''t know that Yasenia was looking at her with a bit ofpassion. "Well, Baby doesn''t seem to be talented. But we can practice together if you want after we do the formal training. What do you think?"
Estre felt a bit down. "I can''t make those big stars like Mommy?"
Yasenia shook her head. "At least, Baby will have a lot of difficulty doing them."
Estre hummed and looked down, burying her face in her mother''s weing and soft chest. "Hmph."
"Oh? Is Baby upset?"
Estre harrumphed again and looked up. "Then, then… I want to learn how to make those, umm… Undead? Rise! Like Mama Tatyana!"
However, strangely, her mother, who was always supportive of her decisions, seemed like a different person today. "Hm. That would be nice, but Baby probably can''t learn."
Estre couldn''t decipher her mother''s expression, but she didn''t like it at all. She felt that her chest was a bit stuffy when she looked at her mother''s usual gentle golden eyes. So, instead of insisting, she asked. "Then, which, ummm, at… attre… attro… attri… Oh! Attribute! Which attribute is Estre good at!"
Her mother became thoughtful, and Estre waited for a few seconds. After a while, her mother finally answered.
"Well, Estre doesn''t have talent with any attribute."
Estre looked at Yasenia, puzzled. "Hm? I don''t understand."
Yasenia''s voice was calming like always, filling Estre with love. Yet, Estre didn''t feel asforted as she always did. "Estre is really good at martial arts, but in exchange, Baby is considered attributeless."
Estre heard that and was stunned. She naturally didn''t know how to react. Severalplex expressions shed on her face as she tried to process the information. But, before she could overthink it, her face was lifted a bit, and her mother''s smiling face filled her entire vision.
Yasenia poked their noses together and said. "Baby, you are my pride and joy. You being attributeless means nothing." Her mother''s tone was loving yet resolute. "Listen well, Estre. You are gifted. Perhaps not gifted where everyone else is, but you are gifted in your path."
Estre blinked a few times, not really understanding. Still, she could feel her heart soothing with each word. Her mother continued speaking gently, lovingly, caringly. "Estre, most of the time, it is better to master one thing than be average at many. You won''t understand yet, but I''ll make sure you eventually understand. So, don''t worry, Baby. Mommy and the rest will guide you. You are my daughter, and while perhaps you have a slower startpared to the rest, Mommy will always, always, always believe in you."
Estre blinked a few times. "Mommy will believe in Estre?"
Yasenia gave Estre a little peck and smiled. "That''s right. Mommy will always believe in Estre."
Estre felt her heart rx and her body soften while her mother''s arms tightened, giving her a feeling of protection. Then, Yaseniamented. "Speaking of Mommy believing in Estre! Did you know that even Aunty Mirrory and Aunty Valeria were surprised at Estre''s constitution?"
Estre blinked twice. "My constitution… What is the name, Mommy?"
Yasenia put on a proud face and said. "[Supreme Martial Abyssal Body]!"
Estre''s heterochromatic eyes were filled with little stars. "WOW! It sounds cool!"
Her Mama Dragonughed and bathed her face with kisses, making Estre giggle happily. "Of course, it sounds cool. It is my Estre''s constitution!"
Estreughed,pletely forgetting about her previous depressed mood. Meanwhile, Yasenia looked at Estre''sughing face and smiled. ''Good. That face is how my darlings should be. Happy and cheerful. As if I''ll let her being attributeless depress her.'' Yasenia sneered. ''Attributeless? Wait for a few years. I''ll make sure my Baby has the tools to be strong enough that no one will be able to mock her.''
She heard the door open and looked over to see Tatyana walking over. Yasenia pecked Estre''s forehead and said. "Baby, I''ll leave you with Mama Tatyana, okay? I need to go do a few things~."
Estre blinked twice cutely and asked. "What things?"
Yasenia smirked. "Well, I need to create a martial art for my babies~. Now that I know my precious Estre is attributeless, I''ll make a few changes so that baby can practice it as well~."
Estre nodded twice with a big smile. "Good! I want to learn Mommy''s martial arts!"
Tatyanaughed. "You will, little one. Tsk, tsk, [Supreme Martial Abyssal Body], my little Estre is surely a cool little darling~."
Estre giggled and extended her chubby arms so that Tatyana could pick her up.
After that, Yasenia spent a few more minutes with them and then left. After leaving, she went to the treasury, took all the martial art books they''d collected over the years, and headed toward her cultivation cave immediately.
The dragoness then started ssifying all of them individually and creating piles of scrolls, books, jade slips, and other information-retaining treasures.
She worked during the nights, leaving Dual Cultivation to the essential. The others understood that the dragoness was busy, so they also only went to call for Yasenia when the Yang Energy in their womb started getting thin.
Having intercourse for Dual Cultivating and the usual one was very different. While both were done with love, it was clear that Dual Cultivation at these times was done until they were full of energy and not full of satisfaction.
Of course, saying that having sex with Yasenia was not satisfactory was a lie. Even hugging her was enough to make them feel in heaven.
In short, there were noints.
The dragoness dealt with all her matters, took care of the children, and was always moving around, leaving her with just enough time to cultivate a few hours daily and nothing more.
Her busy days seemed unending. However, that was not a problem for her. What she was doing was for her children, the children that she had been wanting basically her entire adult life.
Working on these matters was not bothersome; taking care of them was even less. Yasenia felt fulfilled, she felt happy, and she felt that this kind of lifestyle was probably what she wanted.
The girls looked at Yasenia''s busy life, and they all naturally helped where they could. When the children yed, they discussed everything with their dragoness, helping her with whatever they could and in any way they could. Even if they could just give her a massage or something, they would do it.
Their dragoness''s busy life was nothing but their pride. After all, why was Yasenia so busy? Wasn''t it for all of them and their children?
And so, time flew by, and soon, Kali and Cecile started feeling restless. Their motherly instincts were telling them to go to their nest and warm up, or, in Cecile''s case, cool down, the egg as much as they could.
This was a clear indication that their eggs were about to hatch. Of course, taking this into ount, the dragoness put everything she was doing on pause and apanied the two restless women.
Kali muttered. "Hm. How about I transform into my fox form? I can use my entire body as a big nest for the baby!"
Cecile''s eyes shed, and Yasenia bonked their heads softly. "Silly, do you want to crush the little baby? You weigh as much as a mountain in those forms!"
Kali and Cecile blinked a few times. Yasenia extended her arms and hugged them both closely. "Rx. They wille out fine. There is no need to be this agitated. Look, where are we?"
Kali and Cecile looked around, and Kali answered. "The delivery room."
Yasenia asked again, patiently. "And, what did I do to this room?"
Cecile blinked. "Make it probably the safest room in the entire world."
The dragoness chuckled. "Right? Moreover, where is this room located?"
Kali muttered. "Inside our manor, which has another protectionyer."
Yasenia kissed their cheeks and asked again. "And where is this manor located?"
Cecilemented. "Inside our sect, which has anotheryer of protection."
The dragoness asked. "So, are we, or are we not protected?"
Kali and Cecile nodded. "We are protected."
Yasenia teased them. "You said it so softly…"
The Fox and Phoenix women rolled their eyes softly, but they both followed Yasenia''s words and said loudly. "We are protected!"
The dragoness smiled. "Right? So, rx. Each of you goes to your nests and then uses yourselves as protection. When the babies start attacking the shell, tell me, and I will go right away."
Kali blinked. "What if both of them start hatching at the same time?"
Yasenia''s lips twitched a few times, and suddenly, she started feeling anxious. "I don''t know. Do you want to make me panic now that you are calm, or what?"
Kali and Cecile burst intoughter and kissed the dragoness on the cheek. Kali smirked, "Don''t worry. Cecile and I have talked about it, and in case that happens, you need to go toward the child who breaks the egg first~. We won''t let anyone see the child until you finish with the other."
Cecile smirked. "I know you want to be the number two they see after hatching."
Yasenia harrumphed a few times and then smiled. "Okay, we''ll do it that way. Now, go."
They both stood up and walked toward their nests.
Kali''s nest was simr to a cave, making her feel somewhat protected. Moreover, inside, there was a bed made from her own fur and Yasenia''s scales.
Simrly, Cecile''s nest was also a cave, but inside the cave, there was a bird nest made from her own feathers and Yasenia''s scales.
After waiting for two days, Kali''s egg started hatching first.
