Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 1169. Surprising Tournament Rewards.

After the judge revealed her own true feelings, although many found it odd and strange, they could tell that those were her true feelings. Moreover, hearing that the Mo family was involved in the matter, things didn't look simple.

The old judge was unaware that she had spilled everything and was looking around, somewhat bewildered and with a trace of nervousness. 'Huh? Did I get exposed? Why do people have such resentful eyes when looking at me?'

"Judge Nie, explain yourself!"

The judge, thinking that her words had been flawed and she let a hint slip about it somewhere, tried to correct it.

'You should've misunderstood. What I am saying is that Junior is someone who shouldn't be here in the first place. She is reversing seniority...'

Or so she thought she said, whereas the reality was quite different.

"You should've misunderstood. What I am saying is that I really dislike that woman for being talented, and I am jealous that she can stand here when I couldn't when I was young. She is offending me and all the efforts I have made during my long lifetime. That's why I agreed with the Mo family when they asked me to."

The leading judge took a deep breath and looked at the public. "Whoever is manipulating Judge Nie's speech can stop at once. We understand why you did it, and we won't look at it too deeply as long as you comply."

A small energy fluctuation appeared around Judge Nie, and the leading Judge glared at the woman once more. Judge Nie had heard him and was confused. "Little Han, why did you say that I am being manipulated? My words have never been clearer!"

The man sighed and shook his head. "On the grounds that you call me Little Han, I will give you one chance to confess your wrongs. Judge Nie has contributed incredible advancements to the formation world. Hence, we won't be too harsh. However, there must be clarity, and you must tell the truth. Judge Nie, were you and some other judges bought out?"

The old woman's face became somewhat ugly. She knew that if he asked that question aloud, they must've gathered enough information. She was still confused about how she was discovered, but she couldn't just admit to her wrongs. Hence, she pointed at Judge Han and spoke loudly. "Little Han! Accusing your elders in this way is shameful. Do you know how much the reputation of our trading association can be damaged if your words are taken seriously?"

A person from the stands couldn't hold it anymore and shouted. "You shameless old woman! You just admitted to working with the Mo family, and you dare say such nonsense? Do you take us as toddlers who can't understand words!?"

Judge Han saw a slight twitch on the old woman's face, so he warned. "Judge Nie. The same offer still stands, but our patience is not unlimited."

Angel looked at the ongoing fiasco with interest. If it hadn't been considered disrespectful, she would've taken out some chocolate popcorn that Yasenia cooked for her to eat. 'Do you think something will happen to that Judge, Mirrory?'

'Probably nothing. These kinds of old people have too much influence and importance to be judged fairly. While her popularity and reputation might take a hit, most people will forget after a few years. The facts will probably be twisted as well.'

'Aw...' Angel pouted for a second, but then she just shook her head. 'Well, at least there will be some punishment. I wonder if we'll continue to the third part of the competition.'

After speaking for a while, Judge Nie didn't reveal anything extra nor did she admit to her wrongdoings. The tournament staff decided to substitute her for the final rounds. Of course, the old woman left with an indignant huff as if she were the victim. Moreover, she gave Angel a glare before going.

Yasenia was in the stands, almost jumping over the barricade to gouge her eyes out. "How dare you look at my Baby like that!? I swear that if you dare bully her-!"

Thankfully, Andrea was hugging her waist from behind. "Relax, love. Don't get agitated."

Yasenia looked at Andrea and pouted. "But she is bullying my Baby!"

Andrea laughed and kissed her beautiful pouty lips. "Just relax. We can't make a big scene here, can we?"

Yasenia harrumphed, and she happily snuggled in Andrea's arms, smelling her strong but pleasant scent. It made her sensitive nose itch pleasantly, making her purr in delight.

After a little while, the third part of the competition started. However, since Angel had won the first round by a landslide and the second with a comfortable margin, her position was nothing but guaranteed.

The tool she made was a star map, something extremely complicated since it would need an anchor in space as a perspective to show the surrounding stars. Thankfully, after fiddling with the skeletal warship's formations, she was able to create something good enough to rank her third.

Her ranking as overall first came from her genius-like ability to come up with formations on the fly and her previous experience in city protecting formations. Tatyana's tips and advice back then served her extremely well, leading to the current result.

In terms of skill, though, Angel could be considered at a similar level to the other Transcendence Ranked cultivators with thousands of years of experience. Of course, regardless of the reason, the final result was her winning the formation competition.

Once she returned with the reward, she was hugged by the tall and voluptuous dragoness before she spoke a single word. "My Baby is the best in the world~. I love you so much, Baby."

Looking up with blushing cheeks, Angel smiled sweetly. "I love you too."

Yasenia lowered her head and kissed her, unable to hold herself back. "Cute, cute~. You are so cute, love."

After making Angel a human blob in her arms, Yasenia looked at the rest and asked curiously. "Do you girls want to see the talisman competition?"

They all shrugged, not having any opinions about it. Yasenia looked at the Long family, asking for their opinion. Ancestor Long commented. "We have one person participating. Since you are going to come with us later to buy the Dragon Cores, how about waiting for us?"

Yasenia nodded after thinking about it. The competition for the talisman masters went quite well. While the Long family senior was not the best, they managed to rank fourth out of seven people. Once he returned, everyone congratulated him.

Another senior from the Long family asked. "What is the reward, by the way?"

The Long Family's Talisman Master spoke. "I received a ring with enough materials for 5 years of crafting. It's quite generous."

Ancestor Long was faintly impressed. "This year's rewards are slightly more generous than usual." Turning toward our girls, the old man asked. "What about you, little girls? What did you receive?"

Yasenia didn't mind if they wanted to share, so she nodded at them. Kali went first and inspected the ring. "Similar to Senior Long, I also received a few Transcendence Ranked herbs. Once I plant them, I can probably create basic Transcendence Ranked pills without any setbacks.

Evelyn answered after Kali. "On my part, I received a low-level Transcendence set of needles. They are quite nice, slightly better than the ones I have now. So, I will probably use them."

Andrea smiled and commented. "They were quite generous on my part. I received a Heaven-Born flame. Since I already have one, I will probably use it to nurture mine. Regardless, it's a really generous gift."

A senior from the Long family exclaimed, "That's incredible. A Natural Treasure for ranking in the top three?" Looking at Angel, who was being carried like a baby by Yasenia, he asked, "What about you, little Angel?"

Angel blinked lazily and asked, confused. "Eh?"

She was so lost in Yasenia's embrace that no other information entered her ears until the man called her name. The Senior's eyebrow twitched, but he repeated the question patiently.

After listening to him, Angel glanced into the spatial ring she received and exclaimed. "Oh!" Her eyes widened, not expecting something like this as a reward. "No way, they are this generous?"

At first, Angel had thought that whatever the reward, it would not really impress her. After all, she had so many formation resources that anything she received would be nothing more than a novelty. However, the two items inside the spatial ring were truly useful for Angel.

"The first item is an exceedingly rare [Crystal Soul]! Moreover, this [Crystal Soul] Natural treasure is not a low-grade one."

This time, even the seniors from our group became slightly surprised. [Crystal Souls] were the Naural Treasure born from large accumulations of Glass Attribute. Locations with extreme Glass Attribute were so uncommon that a [Crystal Soul] was even rarer than some of the higher-level Natural Treasures, like those of the Sun, Life, or Death attributes.

The second reward for winning the competition was a Formation Pen. However, this Formation Pen was special. At first glance, it looked like a high-quality Transcendence Ranked Formation Pen, which was not bad at all. However, when Angel looked closer, she noticed that there were a few seals on it.

Tatyana glanced at that Formation Pen and muttered. "It's quite a powerful one. It should help you throughout your entire Sixth Realm. What are their names, Little Angel?"

Angel answered with a happy smile. "The Natural Treasure's name is [Brilliant Rainbow Crystal Soul]. Then, the formation pen's name is [Seven Worlds Unbound Formation Pen]."

Evelyn grunted, her face showing a bit of unhappiness. "No wonder the Mo family poked their noses in. The high-ranking rewards were this abundant!"

Kali also sighed, feeling a bit of regret. "If I knew, I wouldn't have been so easy to convince. Well, some opportunities come and others slip by us."

However, Yasenia was not that easy to quell. Her eyes squinted as she planned how to deal with the Mo Family. "Since they've been this welcoming when I was merciful with that stupid Demon, I should return the favor."

The girls glanced at the hidden anger in Yasenia's eyes and felt a bit of pity for the Demons that would enter the Secret Realm with her. 'I hope you Demons manage to stay out of her way, or you'll be turned into Dragon fodder.'

Once they arrived at the Long Gold Pavilion, Yasenia went and bought all the cores for some materials that she had in her ring. The trading discussion lasted for almost three days and nights before the two greedy dragons reached somewhat of a middle ground.

Seeing the old and young fox smiling, everyone else started sweating coldly. 'These two... I better never start an economic war with them, or else I might lose even my clothes!'
