"They are here." The Emeraldine Monkey announced.

Kai Li heard the beast's words and snapped out of her thoughts. Turning her neck, she glanced in the direction where the vibrations were coming from and saw large figures appearing.

A minute later, she could finally see the beasts.

"W-what…" Kai Li was a bit stunned.

In front of her, a group of fifty beasts could be seen. Strong spirit Qi fluctuations were coming from all the beasts, with three of them being particularly strong.

Leading this group of beasts were three nascent soul realm beasts.

"King Lin Wu didn't specify this…" Kai Li was at a loss for words.

The Emeraldine Monkey smirked at seeing the surprised reaction of the human and felt a bit prideful.

"These are the beasts that King Lin Wu has prepared for you. The ones leading them will be three Nascent soul realm beasts. I'll introduce them to you." The Emeraldine Monkey said before walking towards them.

The Emeraldine Monkey was at the Adolescent soul stage of the Nascent soul realm, but was smaller than all of these beasts. It was simply how they were built and was not a representation of their true power.

Most of the core condensation realm beasts were about the same size as that of the Emeraldine Monkey, while the rest were even bigger than him. But the largest were none other than the three Nascent soul realm beasts.

"This is the Emeraldine Pulse Cicada, the Emeraldine Barren Tail Wolf and finally the Emeraldine Winged Swan. All of them are at the Infant Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm and have already been taught about the human tongue.

While they can't speak it like us, they will still understand your words." The Emeraldine Monkey introduced.

While Kai Li herself was much stronger than these beasts, she also knew that the beasts had their own advantages. Not to mention, she wouldn't be accompanying all the caravans on her own and lending them her strength.

With the three Nascent soul realm beasts added to it all, she now had a greater level of protection.

'With three nascent soul realm beasts, the reputation of our merchant team will be greatly increased!' Kai Li thought with excitement.

She could almost see the gold in front of her already.

Walking up to the beasts, she decided to introduce herself as well. By now she had understood well enough that these beasts were no less than humans and it would be best if she behaved like that with them, as well as extending the same level of courtesy to them.

"Greetings, My name is Kai Li, a junior elder of the Lian clan. We shall now be working together from this day." Kai Li cupped her hands in greeting.

~SKREEE~

~Howl~

~SCREECH~

The three Nascent soul realm beasts cried in response and nodded their heads, acknowledging Kai Li.

The Emeraldine Monkey observed it all from the back, feeling pleased.

'Just like master said, she is certainly a few levels above the humans we meet. She has better sense than them too and is respectable.' The Emeraldine Monkey felt content.

He watched Kai Li talking a little with the beasts and telling them what they were going to be doing. Even though the beasts were already instructed about it all, Kai Li reckoned it was best to also give a briefing to the beasts on her own.

"Does everyone understand now?" Kai Li asked after finishing her explanation.

The beasts cried and nodded in response and quickly split up as were told, into different teams.

Kai Li contacted her own subordinates, and they quickly appeared to help load the goods onto the beast's backs. They had even prepared the harnesses for the beasts that would help in carrying the goods.

In about two hours, all the goods were safely packed up and loaded onto the beasts' back.

Kai Li looked at the five teams of the beasts with a contended smile. Each of the five teams had a specific composition, and half of the beasts in each team would be carrying goods. The rest of them were in charge of protecting the carriers and also scouting out the path.

According to Lin Wu's instructions, various kinds of beasts were used for this. There were large beetle beasts that were perfect for carrying goods on their backs, swift and fast beasts like deer and wolf beasts that would scout out the area, beasts with strong defenses like armadillos and scaled beasts who would guard in case of an attack and also beasts with offensive capabilities like Lamp Light ligers and more.

Then there were some bird beasts too, who could scout at long distances.

Over all, this made a good composition and Kai Li was pleased with it. Then there were the three Nascent soul realm beasts who would be accompanying as well, but only act in certain situations.

"I believe everything is according to the agreement and there are no issues?" The Emeraldine money asked.

"Yes! Everything is as decided and perhaps even better." Kai Li replied.

"Very well, you can set out whenever you feel like." The Emeraldine Monkey said before taking out an object and passing it to Kai Li.

Kai Li took the object and looked at it curiously. It was a green crystal carved into a smooth disk. On one side of the disk, a motif was carved that looked like a beast's head. Then on the other side, a character was carved instead.

"Millennium…" Kai Li read it before looking at the Emeraldine Monkey.

"That is the official authority token of our Kingdom and can only be issued by King Lin Wu. With that in your hands, you are now the officially commissioned merchant of our kingdom!" The Emeraldine monkey explained.

Kai Li felt a bit awed and stored the token away. She was certainly pleased with it and would now have something to show off in the right situations later.

"I shall take my leave then. I best not let King Lin Wu wait for his profits for too long." Kai Li said with a chuckle.
