Heaven, Earth, Me 5 (GL)

Chapter 998. Pleasant Conversation With Lord Gu.

After going inside, they followed Lord Gu for a while and arrived at a very large room with a table that could probably fit two hundred people. Lord Gu gestured at the left side of the table and smiled. "Sit there, Yasenia and company. I feel like being face to face when speaking is best in these situations."

Yasenia followed his arrangements and sat on the middle chair. Valeria and Kali sat on either of her sides while the maids stood in an orderly manner behind Yasenia, fully geared for combat and ready for any situation.

Lord Gu sat in front of Yasenia and gazed at the maids. "You all can sit as well if you want."

Alaia bowed elegantly and answered with grace. "Lord Gu's offer is tempting. However, as Young Miss's maids, we have her security as our priority before any decorum. Therefore, we ask forgiveness while being rude and keeping our standing positions."

Gu Chen smiled. "Educated servants are the best to see! Apologies accepted. You can allow the ladies to come in."

Once he said that a man in servant robes bowed and then walked toward the door room, opening it. "Welcoming the Ladies. Lord Gu Chen has allowed you to enter the room."

Shortly after he finished speaking, several women entered the area. The Nineteenth Lady was between them as well. In total, thirty-seven women entered.

Yasenia looked as they sat around with elegance and order as if they had practiced before, and she asked. "Lord Gu's family is large and beautiful. Are they all your wives?"

Gu Chen smiled widely. "Being praised by a beauty without equal like you is their blessing! Yes, they are all my wives." He sighed a bit, taking a cup that was soon filled with a strong wine and taking a sip. "Sadly, having children has become practically impossible because of my strength." He sighed again. "I've even gone to many places and bought nights with escorts, which is something I am not proud to share. Still, no children in sight even after several centuries of trying and trying."

Yasenia couldn't help but sympathize a little. She asked, curious. "I've heard that there is a female Undying Monarch Cultivator that calls herself the Death Queen or something like that. Have you tried it with her?"

Gu Chen laughed aloud. "While she is indeed a woman, she is completely crazy. She considers Undead to be her children, so if I ask her to make children with me, she will try to turn me into one!"

Yasenia laughed, her beautiful expression not entirely hidden by her veil. "I see. She is one of those necromancers." She shook her head. "Controlling Death energy is very taxing for the mind, so almost all Death cultivators have peculiar personalities."

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow. "Oh? It feels that you speak from experience."

Yasenia revealed. "Well, my mother is a Death Cultivator, so let's say that I have plenty of experience."

Gu Chen exclaimed, incredulous. "Really? Why do I not feel any death energy coming from you? You feel more like... The firmament, the cosmos? As if you are made of stardust. Nothing in you reveals a hint of Death Energy."

The dragoness was slightly surprised. 'Transcendent Cultivator's senses are so sharp! He managed to feel my Celestial Energy even when I was trying to hide as much as I could.'

After thinking for a few seconds, Yasenia spoke. "Well, I am a bit peculiar, as I have not inherited any of my mother's attributes. I am not even of the same species; she is something close to a human, after all."

"Close to a human?" Gu Chen asked, intrigued. "That's a very strange way to say it. You, if I remember correctly, are a pure Dragon beast, right?"

Yasenia flapped her wings twice and swished her long dragon tail with a faint smile that reached her eyes. "I am indeed a Dragon."
