Chapter 566: Buying spree!
A few hours went by, and the first Body Cultivation Manual appeared.
Yasenia paid a bit of attention without startling Cecile, who was lying on her with eyes closed, resting lightly.
"This cultivation manual is a mid-level Earth rank treasure! The [Forged in Storm Body] Technique suits people with water, lightning, or wind affinities. The starting price is fifty High-level Parus, and the minimum increment is ten high-level Parus."
Yasenia blinked and muttered. "Cultivation manuals are much more expensive than other items."
Carbira looked at Cecile\'s closed eyes and rhythmically rising back whispered. "A cultivation technique can be used by many, an item by only one person."
Yasenia nodded. "I understand the logic. It\'s just a mid-level Earth Ranked cultivation technique is not something that would make someone gain excellent strength, so I expected it to cost a bit less."
Carbira was puzzled. "Doesn\'t the quality only affect the speed?"
Yasenia looked at her, and after a few moments, she nodded. "You are right."
Tatyana smiled. \'She is not.\'
Yasenia snorted. \'Who knows who is listening? I\'ve already learned their way of working if they allow buying rights to know who is in each VIP room and also use their registering items to sneak peek the strength of people.\'
Tatyana shrugged. \'Will you leave your items here? This action will only sell about thirty of them in total, right? You gave them about a hundred.\'
Yasenia pondered. \'I need an excuse to withdraw them. Sigh, I gave the group too much faith because Carbira was such a sweetheart. I guess I was lucky and picked the rare good breed. Let\'s hope they make a mistake and allow me to withdraw my offer. Using Tengliu\'s influence, if possible, as a backer will also help me.\'
Tatyana laughed. \'Will she agree?\'
\'If I get close to her during this time, she will.\'
\'Are you trying to seduce someone who did that?\'
\'I\'m not. I want to increase my image in her, not romantically, but either as a junior or a working partner. My age should be an advantage to stop her horny, right?\'
Tatyana snickered. \'I bet she has quite a lot of "fun" with her juniors and colleagues. That intent is not only comprehended by looking, after all.\'
Yasenia asked, curious after knowing her mother\'s history. \'Do you have it?\'
Tatyana shook her head. \'I have another one, though.\'
\'Oh? Which one? Also… How many intents have you understood?\'
Tatyana stuck out her tongue, acting cute. \'I won\'t tell you which or how many. However, understanding Intents is not hard after you are at my level, it is a matter of time. The thing is, they are useless. I can summon one thousand intents at my level, and other cultivators would only laugh at me. Hence, cultivators focus on only a few while pushing forward. The best is focusing on one, but up to five is acceptable depending on the talent.\'
\'I see… Also, you looked adorable when you stuck your tongue out~. I wanted to take a bite~.\'
Tatyana chuckled and leaned her head on Yasenia\'s shoulder. Cecile\'s wings lay on Tatyana like a blanket, so her movement did not bother the resting phoenix woman.
"Well, enough with the introduction. Let the bid begin!"
"We got sixty high-level Parus from the gentleman there. Seventy are coming from the VIP room number forty-one. The lady over there increased it to 100…"
Yasenia didn\'t bid and waited for the price to stabilize.
After waiting a few seconds, the price stopped increasing as fast. Yasenia entered the bid.
"We have four hundred and forty coming from another VIP room!"
Carbira\'s eyes jumped. "So much money for that?"
Yasenia spoke lazily as her hand traced Cecile\'s developed back muscles that carried the pair of giant silver wings. "It\'s not that much. It doesn\'t even reach one flawless Parus."
Carbira frowned. "But for the starting price, it is a lot."
Yasenia gave her a side glance. "The starting price is not important."
The auctioneer spoke. "Four hundred and seventy coming from VIP room number 17! We seem to have a battle in our hands."
Yasenia didn\'t wait for the woman to finish and directly bid six hundred.
"We have a decisive person here. The price has just increased to six hundred by VIP number 14!"
"Six hundred going once! Six hundred going twice! Do we have more bids for this impressive cultivation manual? Six hundred going three times!"
Yasenia played with her hair as she heard the woman exclaiming. "Six hundred going four times! Congratulations to the VIP room number 14!"
Yasenia continued. "The important thing is if I get the item or not."
Carbira nodded and didn\'t interfere. She was a guide and advisor, nothing more.
The day continued, and Yasenia took from her ring cooking books and studied them while the auction continued.
Cecile was currently in heaven while resting on Yasenia\'s body, so she fell asleep for real. Our dragoness didn\'t bother her too much besides using her arms and tail to secure her sweetheart.
Three hours later, the other cultivation manuals were sold, and Yasenia won them all for a total of thirty Flawless Parus. One of them was contested for quite a bit, reaching three Flawless Parus, but Yasenia directly increased the bid to five, making the other party stop bidding.
While looking to see if anything interesting was left in the catalog, Yasenia heard a knock on the door, and Carbira stood up to open it.
She saw Ghana on the other side and lifted an eyebrow. \'Hm? Why is she here alone?\'
Ghana entered and closed the door behind her.
"I\'m back, Yasenia."
Yasenia asked curiously. "How did it go?"
Ghana rubbed her forehead. "Sigh, it is so tiring accompanying Matriarch Tengliu. However, you should expect the City Lord to not interfere with you for a long time. By the way, Young Master Fu breathed his last."
Yasenia was internally surprised and felt something out of place.
Her face remained calm as she asked while looking at Ghana. "Have you seen his corpse? How is it possible for him to fall ill enough to die?"
"I\'ve seen his corpse." Ghana nodded, making Yasenia\'s brain rotate quickly.
Ghana sat on a couch and frowned. "He was like a husk. A few parts of his body were rotten and looked quite terrifying."
Yasenia asked for details.
"Well, they had to isolate him because a few of the people that approached him got infected by his disease."
"Do you have a list of those people? Remember not to make contact with them, just in case."
Ghana shook her head. "Not here, but since you told us to keep an eye…"
Yasenia sent a message to Ghana mentally.
"We\'ve tried hard to infiltrate, but the defenses are very tight."
Meanwhile, in her head, Ghana said to Yasenia. \'We\'ve bought one of the maids in the Fu Family Mansion, and she has been swapped by one of our people. She should\'ve listed those things, and the documents must be back in the clan."
Yasenia nodded. "Well, they have my condolences."
Yasenia suddenly asked. "So… How so you went to see the corpse of that boy?"
Ghana looked into Yasenia\'s eyes and was confused. "Why do you ask?"
Yasenia shook her head. "Nothing."
However, internally, she questioned her. \'How much did you tell Tengliu about that situation?\'
Ghana flinched. \'She doesn\'t know it is your work. But she knows you had a beef with them. I tried to hide everything I could, but it is impossible to hide most things from her.\'
Yasenia nodded and understood. \'She probably guessed everything…\'
Her head ached. \'Although it\'s not much, that\'s an extra resource Tengliu has against me… After all, even if we are allies, with this information, she can forcefully make me her partner by forcing an enmity between me and [Steel Back Wolves]. Tsk. I\'ve lost ground just after she separated from me.\'
She didn\'t feel that Ghana was lying and that this wasn\'t her intention, but Tengliu was just someone who had everything to force Ghana to spill the beans one way or another without Ghana realizing it.
Ghana continued. \'We also went there because the City Lord asked the Matriarch for help so we could see him before he died.\'
Yasenia asked. \'Why did he ask her? Tengliu is not an alchemist, right?\'
Ghana blinked and remembered the conversation. \'Oh… Matriarch Tengliu said she had strong healing pills because the subject came to be.\'
The dragoness sighed to herself. \'Cunning woman.\'
\'Now that I think about it… Did Tengliu touch him?\'
Ghana nodded. \'Yes… It should not be dangerous for someone at her level, right?\'
Yasenia\'s eyes flashed. \'Oh? She touched him?\'
Yasenia shrugged. \'I don\'t know. Has she left? Why aren\'t you with her anymore?\'
Ghana shook her head and answered. \'She is in our base, inspecting the living conditions of the harpies. She told me to come here and tell you that she will wait for you there.\'
Yasenia didn\'t like that.
She looked at the remaining items in the catalog and saw that the ones left weren\'t interesting.
"Carbira, is there any interesting item after this?"
Carbira shook her head. "These are the heaven-ranked treasures."
A quick glance told our dragoness that they weren\'t worth her time.
Yasenia slowly stood up, using her arms to support Cecile\'s butt while making her wrap her legs around her waist.
Cecile muttered and opened her blue eyes lazily. "What\'s wrong?"
Yasenia kissed her lips. "Sleep, sweetheart. We are returning home."
Cecile nodded and buried her face in Yasenia\'s neck, hugging her tightly.
She was not short or small, but with the tail\'s help, even carrying someone taller than herself was not a problem for our dragoness.
"Then, let\'s leave. Honestly, I expected to be able to interact with more powers. However, besides the mornings, the rest of the day is just about the auction. Tomorrow there should be interesting items."
With that said, Yasenia and the girls left their room and returned home.
Ghana asked once outside. "Why are you hasty?"
Yasenia looked at her with a strange gaze. "Although you might trust that woman, have you already forgotten what happened?"
"Ah… I…"
"Don\'t worry. I just don\'t feel safe when she is right in my house without my knowledge."
\'I hope Coraline can stop her from wandering around as she likes. It would not be too good if she found the human girls. After all, Tengliu should be aware that strange humans have arrived.\'
Tatyana smiled. \'Doesn\'t she already know that you are not from Distancia? At least, she should have guessed something.\'
Yasenia frowned. \'I just don\'t want her to confirm her guesses. Knowing and hypothesizing are very different.\'

Author: We are back!
Angel: Yay!
Andrea: Hm, so we won\'t appear if this is serious~.
Author: This section is a section to cheer up. It must not distract people from real things and plot!
Yasenia: I mean… It\'s not like things have calmed down.
Author: Well, but it is not that tense.
Tatyana: There must be a few questions stacked, right?
Author: That… There are a few. Yes.
Author: Well. Without further ado. I summon you!
WPOmega: Yo! Nice to be here again.
Author: I\'ve seen that you\'ve stacked a few questions. Well, shoot one of them.
WPOmega: Sure~. During Ebirah\'s breakthrough, it\'s said that the ore she\'s using is almost at the limits she could absorb. Well, for one, that implies that she could\'ve absorbed stronger, which is impressive considering the level it was at, but mostly it makes me wonder what happens when an ore is too high level for a Sun Engulfing Ore Lobster to absorb. Is it just guaranteed death? Does it just result in a weaker defense or foundation, and is there another opportunity to absorb an ore into its shell?
Author: Who do you want to answer it?
WPOmea: Let\'s go with Coraline Clawthorne.
Author: Summoning Lobster Mom!
Coraline: Hm? Where am I?
Ebirah: Mommy~.
Coraline: Oh, my little shell. Where are we, do you know?
Ebirah: Um… It\'s strange to explain. You just have to answer a question, and we can leave.
Coraline: And the question is.
WPOmega: Hello, this is the question!
…
Coraline: I see. Although I said she can absorb higher, it would be dangerous to do so. Sun Engulfing Ore Lobster\'s shell is similar to an alloy but with ores.
Coraline: If you put too much of something, it can break the balance, the shell, and since the damage is done during the tribulation, the insides are exposed, and death is almost guaranteed.
Coraline: However, I\'ve said it in the past, but our bloodline is not something weak. As long as we have enough resources, I\'m confident we can be strongest in Distancia.
WPOmega: So confident?
Coraline: Yes. And I\'m speaking objectively. The potential of a Sun Engulfing Ore Lobster is terrifying, or so it is said in our ancestor\'s grave.
WPOmega: So, overfeeding is as bad as underfeeding.
Coraline: Basically, yes. There are ways to check which materials are the most suitable.
Mirrory: Hm… They might be a race of the higher heavens. The ability to absorb ores two realms higher is too strong for a small place like Distancia.
Author: Well, that might be true or not! In any case, let\'s leave it here for now!
Author: Bye-bye, little lurkers, have a nice day!
The rest: Have a nice day~.
