Chapter 354: Chapter 354. Conversation about Distancia Continent. The wolf's plan.
The wolfman answered. "T-The name of the Continent is [Distancia Continent], and we are in the middle part of our Continent. The Continent is separated into central, western, eastern, southern, and northern sides."
Kali asked softly, "Which side is the strongest? What are the strongest powers?"
He frowned and asked aloud. "Are you all outsiders? How could you not-"
Yasenia pressured him again, making him shut up. Then, Cecile said coldly. "We are the ones asking questions. Also, you don't have to wait for your guards since we have them immobilized. Trust us when we say your life is in our hands."
The man wanted to curse. He thought that he'd had bad luck this time. However, he didn't make any fuss and answered their questions. "The main powers are the thirty-three clans, nine sects, and three Empires."
Kali and the others were curious. However, Andrea asked about the origin of the Continent's name. The wolfkin looked at Andrea with disdain and answered proudly. "Our Distancia Continent was renamed after the hero who fought against the humans oppressing other races in the Continent. Thanks to his strength and leadership, beast humans rose into power, and we were able to exterminate most of the evil Humans occupying our Continent."
Yasenia looked at him, not fully believing. However, she didn't doubt it too much. Cecile asked on her own, "Is he or any of his companions alive?"
The man's gaze turned murderous for a second. However, he relaxed quickly and answered. "They sacrificed themselves to kill the strongest experts in the human race. Thanks to them, we can have the lives we have. Moreover, this was something that happened seventy thousand years ago."
Andrea asked, "Where do the [Sun Engulfing Ore Lobsters] live?"
"in the Western coast." He answered half-heartedly.
Andrea wanted to punch him, but she realized that she was not the one to ask questions this time around. Therefore, Kali followed it up. "Sir, where exactly? We want her to return to her parents, so they know she is okay."
He seemed to be much more respectful with Kali and answered. "In the [Deep Orean City]. It is hundreds of kilometers away from the coast and underwater, so I don't think you will be able to go there without the proper equipment."
Kali continued asking. "Are humans rare on this Continent?"
The wolfman crossed his muscular arms and snorted. "Not only are they rare and weak, but they are also quite hated. Therefore, randomly killing humans isn't even seen as something bad. Of course, I agree since they are creatures of destruction and innately evil. After the beast humans managed to conquer the Continent, we made a purge of humans. Therefore, they are almost extinct. We would've exterminated them if it wasn't because they really propagate fast and are good at hiding."
Yasenia and the others lifted their eyebrow. Yasenia communicated. 'Let's be careful. Baby, Darling, dear. From now on, if you want to ask something, communicate it to Cecile or Kali and let them speak for you.'
They sent affirmatives and continued listening.
They asked questions about the city before them, and Kali did a great job of making the wolfman slowly show a better attitude.
They actually didn't care about this city because they wanted to go to another one, far away from this man. However, Kali and the others decided to mellow their relationship with him first and then ask other important questions.
Then, Kali moved to another important question. "Sir, how are the realms of your cultivation divided? I'm using another kind, and I'm quite curious."
The man nodded and said. "I would also like to hear yours. The ranks I know of are the Initial Foundation phase, Mortal Transformation, Spiritual King Body, and Ethereal Soul Body. I'm currently in the low level of the Mortal transformation body, quite an accomplishment."
Kali asked curiously. "Low-level? It isn't divided into first, second, and third levels?"
He shook his head and said. "No, each realm is divided into low, middle, high, and peak levels."
Kali nodded and waved her two tails, releasing a soft and pleasant scent. "I see."
Kali looked around and saw that more people were gathering in the surroundings. It seems that they were getting the ink that something was wrong.
Therefore, Kali nodded and said. "You can go. Thank you for answering our questions."
Yasenia suddenly sent a mental message to Cecile, who suddenly said. "Wait."
The man looked at the Phoenix Woman and became much more respectful. He still saw her as the leader of the group, after all. "What's wrong, miss?"
Cecile asked, "You are a merchant, right? I have a perfume from my country that is very popular with male cultivators. Moreover, it was specially brewed by her."
Kali had also received a mental message from Yasenia, so she cooperated. "It is true! I almost forgot because you were so pleasant to talk to, fufu." Kali said with a soft laugh.
Kali waved her two big fox tails again and asked softly. "Do you want to buy some of it? I think you could profit."
The wolfman was a merchant, so something foreign for aesthetics was quite valuable. It always sells better if between the high ranks of females.
Therefore, he asked, intrigued. "Can I have a sample?"
Kali's eyes flashed with hidden emotions. Then, she took out a vial with a transparent liquid and said, "Here, you can have some of it sprinkled on you if you want. Although it is mainly attractive for women, men can also use it."
The man took the delicately forged vial with his big hands and sprinkled some of it on the back of his hand. Kali's eyes looked at him with a flash of pity, but she hid her emotions quickly.
After smelling it, he was positively surprised. "It smells really good! No wonder females are attracted to it. The scent is soft and sweet, but not so much so that it hides the natural scent of the person wearing it. Even in concentrated amounts, it wouldn't make you frown or anything. A really good item, for sure. How much of it do you have?"
Kali said calmly. "We have almost ten liters of it or two hundred vials like that one. Of course, we can create more whenever we want."
Then, Kali waved her hand and made the vial return to her hand. Right after, she hid it in her spatial ring. The man was surprised, but he didn't say anything.
His eyes flashed cunningly, 'Right, since they are so out of touch with our Continent, they must not know the price of these things.'
He smiled handsomely and said, "Well, although it is a really good item, not many would buy it because many males prefer a female's natural scent. Therefore, it won't sell too much. However, even then, I can give you fifty low-grade Parus. It is honestly above the price it would fetch, but I can make an exception for all of you."
If the skepticism in their eyes became more material the higher it was, it would probably have become solid by now.
Therefore, Kali asked Ebirah, "How much is that, little Ebirah?"
The lobster princess spat bubbles in disdain and said, "I can't even have a full meal with that money! Parus is the name of the coin, but in reality, they are spirit stones. Stones that can store energy inside of them, quite a precious material."
The wolfman's mouth twitched. He forgot about the lobster princess between the bunch because she remained silent in their conversation! 'Why did they ask me so many questions when they have her!?'
In truth, they wanted to make it clear that they were in her Continent. After so many coincidences, Ebirah was more than sure they were in her home World.
Ebirah continued explaining. "The money is divided into flawed, low, mid, high, peak, and flawless grade Spirit Stones or Parus. You need ten kilograms of each quality to store the same amount as in one gram of the next material! Normally, the coins are ten grams, so a total of one thousand coins go to the next level. In my house, a common meal costs almost thirty mid-grade Parus!"
***
To make it easier to understand, we will use the number of coins, not kilograms or pounds. Meaning, one thousand coins for each level, nice and easy.— a note from a forgotten red-eyed empress.
(A/N: Your entrance is approaching, so you had to start breaking the fourth wall, right? Can you do it more moderately? Moreover, what do you mean by forgotten? You have your own novel!)

Anyway, after Ebirah exposed him, the wolfman couldn't help but protest. "Little princess, in your house, probably a single dish is as costly as a house for other people. Therefore, I wouldn't compare it that way."
Ebirah snorted, "So what? You are comparing me to people from a rural area. Kali's items are much higher quality than a meal in my house! So, you definitely are scamming her!"
The man really wanted to retort, but after being glared at by the rest of the people present, he decided against it.
Kali shook her head and said with disappointment. "Since you don't value it, we are leaving. We won't take up more of your time."
Kali and the others turned around and walked toward the nearest city. They gained information about the surroundings while asking about the city before them.
Looking at the fading group into the forest, he shook his head and returned to his group while cursing his luck. Who would have thought he would be bothered by a strong foreign group?
Right after, the five guards approached and asked with concern. "Sir, are you okay?"
"What do you think!?" The man snapped at them. "They almost killed me!"
"We are sorry, sir. Our feet got entangled by unknown roots, so we couldn't move. Maybe they have a powerful individual between them."
The wolfman rolled his eyes so hard he almost took flight. "Leave me and prepare for punishment. I don't need guards as weak as you. By the way, I'm going inside my caravan. I don't want anyone to bother me."
As he entered his resting place and closed the door, he sneered and thought. 'Don't think that this is the end. Since you dare humiliate me like that, I'll make you pay one way or another. First, I will send a message to the Sun Lobster King and gain a big sum. This money will be the first payment.'
Remembering the somewhat humiliating episode, his mouth arched evilly, 'Then, I can say that they have kidnapped her. They will probably believe me as soon as I write that there are humans with her. Moreover, if I state that they are using her as an experiment because of her high-level bloodline... Hahaha. You are done for!'
He began to find some ink and paper, but he also felt tired. 'Sigh, speaking with dirty humans might have drained me.'
