Chapter 387: Two visitors. Getting to know Flanna and Ghana.

Add info about contacting Jorey in the chapter.

After hearing Tatyana's comment, they were curious about who had arrived. The reason Tatyana could tell that there was someone outside was because of the Formations she laid around the house during this week.

With Angel's and Mirrory's help, they had laid out a complex and intricate formation that combined defense, offense, and surveillance and increased the energy inside the mansion.

Cultivating in this mansion would be equivalent to needing half the effort for twice the results. Yasenia commented. "Well, we can skip today's morning cultivation. Moreover, it is already time for us to get into contact with the rest of the city and begin expanding."

Evelyn commented while they walked toward the entrance. "Tatyana, how is the process of unlocking Long Baidi's ring?"

Tatyana commented. "I'm letting Angel do all the work. It would be nice for her to learn. Therefore, she will need at least another week, at most, a month. All depends on how much she understood my explanations."

Angel raised her fist and proclaimed. "Don't worry, Mommy Tatyana, I'll unlock it before the next week finishes."

Tatyana patted her head.

After a bit of walking, they arrived outside. There they saw Sierra standing before the gates, looking at the visitors coldly.

Evelyn jumped upward and landed on Sierra's head. She crossed her arms before her chest and asked. "Did they miss behave, Sierra?"

The two visitors felt their gaze, which was a suffocating experience. The main reason was that they weren't holding back and were scanning them up and down.

After hearing Evelyn's question, they looked at the wolf.

Sierra said calmly. "No, they've been quite polite. After I told them to wait until you arrived, they didn't overstep and were very understanding."

Our girls nodded, and their faces eased up a lot. The two women felt the atmosphere around them lighten up. They sighed in relief after they felt the pressure leave.

'Thankfully, I was polite to their guardian beast.' Thought both of them.

The two women at the door were quite different.

The first one was a brown-feathered harpy. She was neither tall nor short, and her body had slender and visually attractive proportions. Her face leaned toward the stern feel, but she had a quiet calmness and elegance between her brows.

Like most harpies, she was completely naked. However, she had her wings folded before her in an attempt to look more courteous and reserved.

Her professional demeanor and attitude were so prominent that they felt that being naked didn't diminish the formal feeling around her. However, this made them a little cautious of her.

A capable-looking person like this wouldn't approach them without motives, after all.

Yasenia and the others moved their eyes toward the other unknown woman. However, to look at her, they had to raise their eyes even higher than when looking at Sierra.

That's right. This person was a fifteen-meter-tall, four-armed female giant. She also had brown hair and eyes.

However, her facial features were delicate and lovely. If she were a short woman, she would look charming and adorable.

Moreover, her dress matched her cute and round face, wearing an ankle-length pink dress. Her four hands were nervously fidgeting, and her face looked back and forth between them.

All in all, unlike the professional-looking Harpy, this female giant looked inoffensive. Yasenia's type had always been cute and lovable girls, so she immediately gained a positive impression.

Cecile walked forward and spoke to the giant woman first. Her voice was as cold and as indifferent as ever. "Good morning. What may your business with us be?"

The giant woman curled a lock of her shoulder-length brown hair around her finger and asked, "W-Well, I wanted to ask what you plan on doing today. U-Um, but before that, I should present myself."

When her voice reached their ears, they felt it was somewhat familiar. It was Evelyn's head that clicked first. "Oh? That voice... Are you the guard at the entrance of the West Gate?"

The giant woman blinked her big eyes twice, looking very surprised. "W-Wow! I didn't expect you to recognize me. Yes, I'm the guard standing at the West Gate."

Cecile frowned, thinking of different motives for her to ask about their schedule. However, Kali spoke before her.

"We got plans on going out and seeing this town's establishments. How about you present yourself first?" Her tone was naturally much gentler than Cecile's.

Kali sent a message to Cecile, 'She looks like she wants to become closer to us. Moreover, she is very weak compared to us, just around the initial levels of the Mental Nourishing Realm. Even if we let her attack us, she won't even scratch us.'

Cecile nodded, 'Did you discuss with Yasenia?'

'Yes, she says we should focus on the politely smiling Harpy. The chances of her having underhanded intentions are much higher. The other woman, we can get close and begin looking to make some friends. We can't keep being isolated if we want to develop ourselves, after all. These two are a good opportunity.'

Cecile nodded and let Kali take the reigns of the conversation.

Their conversation lasted less than a second, so the others didn't realize.

After hearing Kali's question, the giant woman knocked her head and said apologetically. "S-Sorry, I was nervous and forgot to present myself. As you have guessed, I'm the guard that checked your entry to the Koran City. Um, I came today because you all seem close to my age and didn't get scared by my height."

Her face reddened slightly as she gestured with her four hands. "I-I know it is a silly reason, but I just want to get close and become friends, if possible. I have no bad intentions, I swear."

Andrea and Yasenia chuckled, finding her gestures cute.

Kali smiled under her veil and asked, "What's your name?"

The female giant answered obediently. "Flanna Cobaltfist."

Kali nodded, "Well, Flanna, walk to the back garden with Sierra. We'll be with you as soon as we learn our other visitor's reason for coming here."

Flanna felt her tense nerves relax and a smile spread on her face. "Okay, I'll be under your care!"

Then, the woman that made Sierra look small walked with her broad steps toward the back of the garden, Sierra following behind her with Evelyn on her head.

After the woman that made Sierra look small walked inside, Cecile looked at the Harpy and asked her tone cold. "What are your intentions?"

The Harpy answered without losing her professional smile. "Hello, new residents. My name is Ghana Featherloss. I'm here on behalf of the City Lord. He heard that a group of beautiful and powerful beast-kin arrived, so he sent me here to guide you through the town and help you in case you had troubles."

Cecile asked coldly. "Why did you appear only a week later?"

Ghana answered without hesitation. "Our City Lord is busy, so by the time this news reached, some days had already gone by."

Yasenia's pupils thinned for a moment, but she relaxed right after. 'Is she lying to save face? Or is she lying because she has bad intentions?'

Ghana then said. "After I got the order to guide the distinguished guests, I waited for you to step out of your residence. However, you've already been inside the mansion for a week, so I decided to come here myself."

Kali softly laughed. "Interesting. You are here to control us and ensure we are not here with bad intentions, right?"

Ghana's calm expression almost crumbled when Kali laid her intentions right onto her face. She wanted to refute, but after seeing their analytic eyes, she decided not to contradict her. 'They are much smarter than expected.'

Kali commented. "Well, we don't have anything to hide, and our intentions are not bad, so you are welcome to enter inside. Having someone from the City Lord's side will help when discussing or if we get in some unwanted trouble. Come inside."

The Harpy blinked, surprised. Her understanding of the group made a one-eighty turn. She felt that not only had she underestimated them, but these people seemed to be much more hidden than what they portrayed on the surface.

However, there was also a pleasant surprise. Their eyes didn't carry any hidden contempt, disgust, or lust when looking at her.

Although other races didn't say anything about the traditional lack of clothes from their race, they would always have a reaction. Depending on the position and situation, the responses were mixed, especially when males or females with lustful intent looked at them.

Thankfully, there was protection throughout the continent because one of the most influential races was their Harpy race. Even then, because more than 99% of Harpies were quite lustful themselves, those who wanted to be reserved had a hard time.

However, these girls seemed unfazed at her nakedness. They observed her once at the beginning and then kept a calm attitude and straightforward gaze. Just this small gesture made Ghana's impression of them better, and her previous unwillingness to work as basically a caretaker disappeared. 'Since they can show me respect, I should change my initial approach.'

They all walked toward the garden where Flanna was waiting. The giant woman was calmly kneeling on the grass on Sierra's left. After being able to enter the house, she felt a little more relaxed, and her demeanor changed from nervous and fidgety to calm and quiet.

Moreover, they could see her trying to pet Sierra, only to have her hand hit by Sierra's tail. "Little wolf, why don't you let me pet you? I won't hurt you."

Evelyn laughed at the side. "Sierra, you are too cute sometimes. It seems that you are still a "little wolf." Hahaha."

Sierra rolled her eyes. Then, she reprimanded Flanna. "Girl, don't touch me like that. I'm not a pet. Also, I'm probably much older than you, so you should treat me respectfully."

Flanna was momentarily surprised. However, she nodded and said shyly, "I'm sorry, senior. It's just... your fur looks very soft, so I couldn't hold myself, sorry."

Kali spoke from the side. "Flanna, Sierra is our precious guardian beast, so try not to annoy her, alright?"

Flanna nodded obediently.

Meanwhile, our girls took out two couches and a table to place in the garden.

The day was sunny, and the weather was warm and comfortable. After summoning the couches, Yasenia climbed onto one of them and promptly laid across Angel, Andrea, and Tatyana.

Evelyn kept lying on top of Sierra, and Cecile and Kali sat before Ghana formally.

Ghana's eyes couldn't help but gravitate toward this mystical dragon.

She has never seen a dragon up close before. In the Distancia continent, dragon-men weren't uncommon, but pure dragons were rare. Moreover, those that existed had weak bloodlines.

Therefore, a dragon such as Yasenia was highly eye-catching. Not to mention, because of Yasenia's size, Ghana assumed that she was a child, so she was confident that if she were sold, she would be incredibly valuable. 'I heard they wanted to sell some merchandise. Is this dragon also part of it? I should ask.'

Ghana decided to make conversation and looked at Kali. "I've heard that you are interested in selling your merchandise. Although I haven't read the specifics, do you intend on selling the dragon? I will definitely give you a fair price for her."

Ghana felt all the pairs of eyes focus on her, and her feathers ruffled as a chill went up her spine.

Kali smiled, seeing her reaction, and commented softly. "She is not someone I would sell, so stop before we get upset."

Ghana didn't need Kali to tell her because the second she made that proposal, the eyes of all the people present seemed to lock onto her, pressuring her badly. 'Crap, I hit a landmine the first time I spoke.'
