Chapter 353. Andrea's surprise and Distancia Continent. (Patreon)

The middle-aged man looked at Andrea, Angel, and Evelyn and said. "Them. I want to buy those slaves. They look exotic, even between humans, so I hoped to gain them from you."

They all became confused. However, Andrea, Evelyn, and Yasenias soon caught up to what was happening. 'Since we didn't say anything about them being slaves, it seems this world's state is the opposite of the Sky Continent. Beast humans are the dominant race, and humans are discriminated against.'

While Yasenia and the others thought about it, an unexpected individual from the group jumped in indignation and answered back. "How dare you take my friend as merchandise! Andrea is someone I care about, so even though humans are normally bad people, she is not!"

They blinked, surprised, and looked at Ebirah standing before Andrea, her pincers clacking loudly. A smile appeared on their lips, finding her cute and brave. Andrea approached Ebirah from behind and caressed her shell. 'Don't worry, little one. Whatever he says won't offend us.'

Of course, Ebirah was not too big, standing at one and a half meters tall, counting the shell, slightly smaller than Angel. Therefore, the wolfkin decided to ignore the young-looking crustacean.

However, when his eyes caught the material Ebirah was using as a shell, his eyes instantly widened. He blurted without thinking. "Huh!? What kind of mineral do you have as a shell!? The quality is something I've never seen in my life!"

Ebirah's lobster face didn't change much, but it somehow could express how smug she was feeling. "Hohoho, now you understand this princess's strength!? It is..." Ebirah looked at Andrea, asking for permission to say it. Andrea saw how eager she was to brag, so what else could she do but nod?

Giving the go-ahead, Ebirah said grandiosely. "Hear loud and clear, little merchant. My shell is a Low-level Transcendence ranked [Violet Volcanic Meteorite]!"

It was one of the multiple materials they found where the Heaven-born flame was hiding. Its high energy emissions, coupled with the heat and pressure it released, were enough to create Transcendent-ranked materials.

As expected, the man almost fainted when he heard it. Then, he shouted, full of rage. "The legendary Transcendent Rank!? What are you doing using such a precious material as a shell!?"

Ebirah got scared and almost jumped at his scream. She turned toward Andrea with a face that shouted, "He bullied me!"

Andrea instantly frowned and said coldly. "She can use it, eat it, or throw it away as she likes. If you dare to raise your voice like that again, I'll cut your head off so that you can't scare her anymore. Am I clear?"

The wolf-kin looked at Andrea angrily, feeling that she was letting a specially precious thing go to waste. Ebirah's black eyes sparkled, feeling protected by Andrea. Therefore, full of courage again, she snorted and said. "Humph, that's right! Do you know who I am? I'm the most beautiful princess, and Andrea is my strongestest best friend. So if you dare bully me, I will tell her to cut your head off! I warn you. She is very good at that. I've seen her do it a lot~."

The others held their laughter, thinking that Ebirah looked really cute. Andrea's tense face also relaxed, and a small chuckle left her mouth while she used her hand to caress her shell softly.

"What can a human do? Also, who do you think you are, someone with a Mythical level bloodline?" He snorted and said.

Ebirah froze and exclaimed. "How did you know!?"

Andrea rolled her eyes. "He didn't, but now he knows."

Ebirah was confused, but when she saw the paralyzed wolfkin, she placed her claws in front of her mouth. "Oops."

Andrea asked Angel with a sigh. "Did you place a sound-canceling formation?"

Angel chuckled and nodded. "From the moment little Ebirah stepped forward, I did so fearing the worst."

Evelyn raised her thumb. "Good call!"

The man heard their conversation and began sweating coldly. For good measure, he took out something and measured her bloodline level. 'Peak-level Mythical beast!? She is almost a Divine Beast! Isn't she royalty!?'

The others looked curiously at the strange device in his hand emitting a light yellow color. They didn't know what it was.

The wolf kin's attitude changed almost instantly. Although he had a Peak King-level Beast bloodline, compared with a Mythical beast, the rank just below a Divine beast, he was nothing but a commoner. "Little ancestor, little ancestor, don't be angry. I-I just misspoke right now. I can see at a glance that your human pet, umm, friend is a very noble person."

Then, he gulped and asked. "Can I know which family you come from?"

Ebirah looked at Andrea again, asking for permission. Andrea couldn't resist those pearly black eyes, so she nodded with a chuckle. Therefore, our lobster princess clacked her pincers and exclaimed proudly, "Listen well, furry one! I'm the princess of the [Sun Engulfing Ore Lobster] clan!"

They thought that he wouldn't react. However, they saw his eyes instantly becoming much bigger one more time. Andrea's relaxed facial expression tensed as a thought crossed her mind. 'Don't tell me...'

Making Andrea's fears a reality, the wolf-kin said with a smile, as if he had found a heavenly treasure. "Lobster princess? Oh! That princess! The lost princes!? I'm going to be rich! Hahaha-Huh?"

Before he could express himself more, an extremely sharp halberd was touching his neck. He moved his eyes to the side, only to see Andrea's light green eyes looking at him from above. "Gulp."

With an audible gulp, a chill went up his spine, and his tail hid between his legs. Even the large wolf's ears on top of his head flattened with clear fear. 'I couldn't see her!'

Andrea's calm and deep voice entered his wolf's ears. "How are you going to become rich, mister wolf? Care to explain?"

The normally tall wolfman was surprised when he saw the human woman half a head taller than him holding the large, heavy-looking weapon below his neck. 'W-Wait, a human female's cultivation is higher than mine!? Impossible! Humans can't cultivate body refining techniques as easily. Especially the physically weaker females of the human race!'

In truth, the wolf-kin couldn't sense their auras because they were too large. Imagine trying to distinguish the shape of an ocean from a human point of view. The only thing you would see is water and nothing more. Therefore, he couldn't sense them because our girls were too strong.

Moreover, he had been so surprised about finding Cecile, a Moon Phoenix, that he had overlooked the rest of the creatures present.

Moon Phoenixes usually had Divine-level bloodlines, but his tool could only measure up to low-level Divine Bloodlines. Therefore, it didn't react correctly when pointed at Cecile, a low-level Ancient Bloodline beast.

Not to mention, Kali's bloodline was a high-level Divine bloodline.

Even when he pointed at Sierra, it marked that she was a peak-level Mystical beast. Although it was low compared to Ebirah's and the others, it was still two whole ranks above his.

After looking closely, his jaw opened comically as his eyes widened.

Meanwhile, our girls looked at the other people looking at them curiously. Since Andrea had acted, they were worried that the people in the surroundings would attack.

Kali spotted a group of five taking out weapons and ready to attack the second Andrea placed her halberd on the man's throat. Guessing they were his guards, she just tapped the ground with her two tails and rooted them in place.

Meanwhile, the man had even begun trembling. He was so shocked that he forgot to answer Andrea's question!

Not to mention the powerful feeling Sierra gave him; every single other individual was comparable to the Moon Phoenix he thought so highly of in the beginning. He couldn't sense their strength, but the feeling of danger was very similar.

Then, he finally looked toward the slightly hidden Yasenia.

When his eyes landed on the beautiful dragon, and he pointed his tool toward her, the device in his hand overcharged and literally blew up!

They all blinked, and Angel said with disappointment. "What a shitty treasure; it can't even measure Yasenia's bloodline level."

Evelyn nodded. "I was interested, but it really is subpar. Sigh, what a waste of time. Andrea, you can continue your interrogation; it seems that the item wasn't as precious as we thought."

That's right, Yasenia had told Andrea to ignore the man until he proved he had something interesting. That item was something that could come in handy. However, since it wasn't able to measure her outrageously high bloodline, she lost interest.

Meanwhile, the man's eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. 'W-what is that? What kind of bloodline is that? The item broke!'

Yasenia was purposely folding her wings and walking behind the group not to stand out too much. But after the tool exploded after pointing at her, that didn't matter too much as eyes began gathering on her.

At the end of the day, her dragon form was beautiful but also very eye-catching.

Just one look at her, and one would know that she was a special existence.

Andrea asked again, her voice more forceful. "Stop gaping and answer! Why did you say you would make money!?"

He stuttered and explained, "Y-Yes, the Royal Family is searching for her because she disappeared months ago. They put a reward for those that find her! The reward is five hundred extreme Parus!"

Yasenia sighed. 'Parus? We'll have to learn about this currency.' Yasenia transmitted to Andrea, 'Darling, whenever you can, ask about the currency.'

Andrea sent an affirmative answer.

Meanwhile, Andrea was thinking to herself, 'So we are in her continent.'

Andrea decided to stop acting aggressively. She lowered her halberd and stored it.

Then she asked, "What's the name of this continent?"

The wolf kin didn't like being interrogated by a human, so he was somewhat resistant to answering.

Before, he answered so readily because of the weapon below his neck. But now that he had regained some of his wits after being completely shocked, he took some steps back and said, "I don't have to answer- Hii!"

A terrifying chill drowned him when the silent dragon glared at him. Yasenia's size was deceiving, making her appear like the child she supposedly was in her dragon years.

However, unlike other young dragons that took many years to develop actual interracial intelligence, Yasenia was obviously different. Not only has she grown with humans, but her education was also much more extensive than any wild beast.

Moreover, Yasenia could use the [Empyrean Dragon Authority] in her gaze to make it literally pressure those she gazed at. Of course, she could regulate the effects. If she had gone all out with it, the man would've died because his organs would squish to a pulp under her pressure.

Feeling that he may lose his life if he acted stranger with this strange group, he began answering the questions readily. "T-The name of the Continent is [Distancia Continent] and..."
