Heaven, Earth, Me

Estrella barely slept that night. Tomorrow was her 18th birthday, and she was about to have her coming-of-age ceremony. 'I asked Mama Tatyana and Mommy not to make the ceremony too big. I wonder if they listened.'

"Little Miss, it is time to wake up." 

Estrella's head maid opened her room, approaching the window at the side of the room and opening it. While the children sometimes went up to the Space Sect, they spent most of the time in the one in Distancia. The main reason was the quality of energy being better down there for growth. 

The one in the spatial sect was much harder to digest and transform, even if the level was somewhat higher. 

Estrella stepped out of her bed and stretched. "Good morning."

The head maid smiled and nodded. "Good morning, Little Miss. I have breakfast ready outside. Would you like to eat it here?"

Estrella stood up and walked toward the wardrobe. "No need to. I will eat it with the family today." 

As she approached the wardrobe, three other maids entered and stood by her side. Estrella was accustomed to being dressed by them, so she had no problem with it. She extended her arms and asked while they took off her sleeping gown. "What do you think I should wear today?"

One of the maids pondered while looking at the wardrobe and suggested. "How about a golden and red one? It would represent Lady Tatyana and Lady Yasenia's eye colors."

Estrella shook her head. "No. Today's dress should be something that accentuates who I am while subtly hinting at them." 

After taking off everything except her underwear, the maids looked at their Little Miss with analytical eyes. After Estrella matured, she was tall and perfectly curvy but athletic, reaching almost 185 centimeters tall. Her face had a hint of coldness that she inherited from Tatyana while also boasting a pair of charming eyes similar to Yasenia's. Her heterochromia only accentuated the peculiarity of her gaze, giving her looks a deep and lasting impression to those who met with her gaze.

Her white tail behind her also added a certain charm thanks to the contrast it created against her raven black hair. 

The Head Maid pointed at a white and black cultivation robe and asked. "How about that one? The white for Little Miss's scales, and the black represents the family's shared hair color."

The maids nodded and looked at Estrella. The girl smiled and nodded. "Okay!"

The maids smiled and began clothing her. After wearing the robes, Estrella looked at herself in the mirror and nodded. "Perfect~. Mama Evelyn's clothes are always so comfortable to wear."

The maids agreed. One of them said. "Even our maid uniforms are created by her. They are superb in everything. When a blade lands on them, I barely feel anything unless the enemy has a strong weapon."

"Right? I once made a small misstep, and the assassination target managed to sneak in an attack that would've hurt me badly. However, it bounced off the clothes! If it wasn't because of seniors beating battle sense in my veins through training, I might've paused and stared at the dress in shock!"

Estrella blinked a few times and asked. "Um. What assassinations have you been doing?"

The Head Maid smiled. "Don't worry, Little Miss. They are the usual suspects who can't see Mount Tai. They think that if they are sneaky, they will be able to kidnap one of you and extort Lady Yasenia." 

Estrella looked at the maid, baffled. "Are there people that stupid?"

The maids laughed. "Oh, Little Miss, those can be considered clever compared with others that we've met. Did you know that once we took care of a Unification Realm expert who thought that by injuring you, they would be able to ask for Lady Yasenia's hand?"

Estrella's eyes widened with stupefaction. "You are lying. There can't be someone that disconnected from reality."

The Head Maid shrugged. "She is telling the truth. Look, we even filmed him because he was so hilarious!"

Estrella saw an image appear in the room, and in the hologram, there was a man, bloodied and lying on the ground. She heard the Head Maid's voice. "Speak again. Why did you do this? If you do so, you might be spared."

Estrella looked at the Head Maid with a raised eyebrow. "That's a lie. There is no way you would forgive someone that attacks me."

The Head Maid chuckled. "I just wanted him to say this, listen."

The man spoke, his face full of conviction. "If I manage to kidnap Estrella, Lady Yasenia will look up to me as a worthy subordinate! Then, with my charm, I will be able to pair up with Lady Yasenia!"

Estrella looked at the man with a deadpan. "That's… A bit sad, no? Did you kill him?"

The Head Maid shook her head. "We carried him to Lady Yasenia. After hearing his words, Lady Kali took him away. We have known nothing about him since that day."

Estrella felt a bit of pity. "If Mama Kali took him… Poor man, he will become food for Mama Kali's little pets."

The maids around Estrella shuddered slightly when Estrella said that. Of all their ladies, they feared Kali second only to Tatyana. One of the maids commented, "At least Lady Tatyana didn't get involved with him; that can count as a blessing for that person."

Estrella asked, curious. "Is Mama Tatyana that… dreadful? I haven't really seen her torture anyone other than the times she showed me how to do torture."

The maids coughed, not daring to answer. The Head Maid commented. "You should ask your mother yourself, Little Miss. Now, let's go."

Estrella nodded and walked out of her room. Once she was outside, the Head Maid rhythmically tapped the ground and then followed after her. Walking through the long hallways took a little while, and after twenty minutes, she reached the teleportation room. 

Estrella hummed. "Our house is huge…"

The Head Maid laughed softly. "It will become smaller as you get stronger, Little Miss. Don't worry too much."

Once she opened the room, she saw the beautiful and equally eerie Doriel waiting there. Doriel's obsidian eyes turned toward her, and Estrella felt her maids shudder for a second. 'They really fear Mommy's maids.'

Doriel smiled faintly and commented. "Little Miss Estrella, I am glad you are here so early. How did you sleep?"

Estrella smiled and spoke somewhat shyly. "I almost couldn't sleep. I was quite excited during the entire night."

Doriel laughed faintly. Then, she stepped aside and said. "Let's go up, Little Miss. Young Miss and Lady Tatyana are waiting for you."

Stepping over the teleportation formation, Estrella started to feel the familiar sense of weightlessness seeping in, and when she blinked, she was in a completely different place. 

The surroundings had changed to a wide prairie, full of green grass and flat for several kilometers. While it looked barren, many different types of formations guarded the connection point. When a non-registered person arrived here, they would need to provide confirmation of a suitable identity, or they would get in a lot of trouble.

"Little Miss Estrella, over here!"

Turning her head, she spotted a gorgeous red-scaled lamia slithering toward her. Estrella's eyebrows twitched twice before the lamia engulfed her in a tight hug that completely swallowed her. "A-Aunty Selena, I can't breathe."

Selena stopped giving her that crushingly soft hug and exclaimed. "Oh my, I am so sorry. You are so pretty and grown up already that I wanted to squeeze you back down to your previous height!"

Estrella's eyebrow trembled. "Don't say such scary things with such a cheerful tone, Aunty Selena."

Selena pecked her forehead with a smile and said. "Okay, let me carry you for a little while to move faster, alright? Don't worry, you won't feel a thing~."

Estrella hung on Selena's neck, and then, the surroundings shifted to a blur as Selena moved around the spatial sect. At Selena's current speed, not to mention looking around, Estrella could only distinguish Selena who was moving at the same speed relative to her. 'I wonder when I will be able to move at this speed…'

Selena stopped when they arrived in front of a massive mansion that didn't lose in size to the one in the sect down below. She asked. "Hm… Does Mommy like big houses?"

Selena blinked and laughed. "She doesn't care much about the size. She just built it this way so that, in the future, many of her descendants can live here without a problem. Combining both the mansion here and the one down in the Astral Sky Sect, the family can grow to a few tens of thousands of people without a problem."

"I see…" Estrella asked. "What if there are more than tens of thousands?"

Selena shrugged. "By that time, the generations would have to fend for themselves. Young Miss is not their nanny." 

After she jumped down from Selena's embrace, Estrella chuckled. "I guess that's true."

"Come on, Little Miss. Young Miss and Lady Tatyana are waiting in the main room. There are a few new guests that you have not seen yet and that both ladies want you to meet."

"Oh?" Estrella was curious and followed behind.

After walking for fifteen minutes or so, they arrived in front of a pair of giant doors. Selena opened the doors slowly and announced. "Little Miss Estrella has arrived!"

Looking inside the room, Estrella saw Yasenia sitting with her harem, and in front of her, a few dozen people she didn't recognize. Most of them were women. Yet, between them, she couldn't help but look at the two men. 

Not because they were handsome, which both were, but because their auras were literally non-existent for her. 'Huh? Mortals?'

Her dragon mother looked at her and smiled gently, her face having only become more beautiful and mature since she had memory. "Welcome, my baby! Come, come, I want to present these seniors to you."

'Seniors?' 

Listening to those words, Estrella didn't dare underestimate the mortal-looking men, and she bowed elegantly. "Hello, misters and misses, my name is Estrella Dravory."

She heard a few of the women squeal. 

"Oh my~! Your daughter is so precious, Yasenia!"

"Right, right? She is so cute and well-educated!"

"I love her eyes! Was she born like that?"

Estrella walked while feeling a bit awkward when she heard the taller and more muscular man speak. "Okay, little ones, you are making her uncomfortable."

Then, to Estrella's surprise, all those powerful looking women instantly behaved and nodded at once. "Yes, Lord Husband!"

'Husband?' 

Tatyana waved her hand, making Estrella float and sit on the chair between Tatyana and Yasenia, and she smiled. "I bet you are confused, Little Light. Probably thinking something like, 'Why are all those powerful looking women obeying a mortal man?'" 

Estrella coughed. "Mama, don't read my mind so often, please."

"Kya! She calls her Mama! I want my child to call me Mama as well!"

Tatyana smiled. "Well, these two men here are Ayanduin and Gu Chen. They are bonafide Transcendent Realm level cultivators."

Estrella's eyes flew wide open. "Sixth Realm cultivators!?"

Gu Chen nodded. "Hello, little one. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Ayanduin smiled. "A very talented child. I bet your parents are very proud of you, Little Estrella."
