"Little ones?" Vivian was confused and stopped sobbing, but didn't inquire further. Anda was probably referring to the young alchemists she taught in the past week.
"Fine, if you are that rich, give your poor master an airship. I want to go on a honeymoon with Bobori too. We were always so busy managing the sect we barely had time to ourselves." She replied shamelessly.
Vivian already knew how rich Anda had become. Even Lilian had more wealth than herself now. She gave her a space bag full of natural liquid Qi the other night, shocking her to the core. If she could give her a space bag full of it casually, just how much more she had in her possession?
Just what kind of heaven-defying opportunities have they encountered? Vivian repeatedly lectured Lilian to be careful and not to expose her treasures next time.
Anda had a doubtful expression. Are you sure barely? Then how do you have a new life in you? Obviously you had done it recently while we were here and got extremely lucky at that! Her ability detected a new 'scent' in Vivian just now.
After saying goodbye to Vivian, a few Sect Elders, and Sect Master Gunung, they got aboard the airship and flew northwest.
"Hahaha! I have a feeling that they will become famous throughout the continent someday." Gunung said after the airship was out of their sight.
"Of course they are going to be famous. The champion of the alchemy competition is with them." Elder Merah said.
"Haha. Merah, I wasn't merely talking about Anda." Gunung left after he replied, leaving Merah and the other confused.
Vivian could guess who Gunung was referring to. It must be Leyvi. Someday, Anda will gather a million harem members for her beloved husband and crown Leyvi as the King of Harem, making him famous throughout the continent. This must be it!
In the airship,
Leyvi noticed that Dorin was having a bad mood. "What's wrong with her?" He asked. He had spent time with Tal and Bana the entire week, so he wasn't aware of what the ladies had been doing.
Layla wanted to laugh, but she held back as she filled in. "Madam Ava has been sticking to Miss Dorin for the past week. She interrupted her plan to recruit handsome men every single time, so she got very annoyed. When she scolded Madam Ava, she would get beaten up instead."
Leyvi was speechless. He didn't expect that those two had developed a strange kind of bond. And this Dorin really didn't learn her lesson from the incident last time.
"How do we send her back? Is there any transport service that can send her back to the Homun Family directly?" Leyvi inquired.
"No. Only between the cities." Layla shook her head.
"Sigh, don't tell me we have to send her back personally? What a troublesome girl." Leyvi lamented.
He naturally didn't want this weird girl to stay with them for a longer time. But he didn't want to waste time sending her back, too. If he made her ride an airship service to the city nearest to the Homun Family's territory, there was no guarantee that she would obediently contact her family to pick her up. Judging from her weird personality, she might try to pick up some random handsome men and then get into trouble by harassing many people.
"Since Ava has volunteered to keep an eye on her, it should be fine for the time being. But just in case, assign a mini Layla to her." Leyvi instructed.
"Noted. Is there anything else, Husband?" Layla asked.
"Lady Layla, please come to my cabin tonight. I would like to discuss an important matter with you." Leyvi whispered some gentlemanly words into her ear.
Layla immediately got a little wet and excused herself while blushing.
A day later,
The airship slowed down when it passed through the Flowing Town, the mortal town where Tal and Tasya were born.
"Do you want to visit your town? We can stop here for a day if you want," Leyvi suggested.
Both Tal and Tasya shook their heads. "Thank you for the consideration, master. But there's no need for a visit. We have nothing here anyway."
Leyvi nodded. He didn't insist.
The airship increased the pace again. Not long later, they arrived at the former site of the Mystical Array Valley and stopped there.
Leyvi wanted to check on Bellion, the person who received formation talent from him. He was curious about what he was doing now.
Leyvi descended from the airship alone and entered the Slash Valley, its current name.
"Eh? The terrifying sword aura is gone! That's weird. How did it disappear entirely?" He felt confused. The sword aura was still dense in the valley when he came here two years after the tragedy, but it somehow disappeared a year after that.
"Was it Bellion?" Leyvi thought to himself.
That was the most logical reason he could think of. After all, he gave Bellion formation talent. He must have gotten something incredible from it and cleansed the entire valley. Many plants were growing here again.
Leyvi's spiritual sense scanned every inch of the place and found no sign of Bellion. He must have left the valley after clearing the sword aura.
After searching a little more, Leyvi returned to the airship. One day, he hoped to see a brand new Mystical Array Valley and Bellion here again.
"He's not here?" Anda asked.
"No, he already left. The remnant sword aura is also gone." Leyvi replied.
"Hmph, lucky guy. If he is still here, I would have killed him and taken back the formation talent." Anda said menacingly.
"Uhh... don't be like that, Anda. He didn't do anything wrong. Even if you kill him, there's no guarantee it will come back." Leyvi tried to calm her down by massaging her shoulders.
He recalled the night when he told Anda about how he acted on impulse and gave the formation talent to Bellion. Anda became an angry panda the whole night and scolded him for wasting a useful talent.
He accepted the scolding and promised not to give any talents to a stranger anymore. However, even if it was possible to take back the talent from someone, he would never do it because it would be against his character. The things that he had given away, he would never take it back!
If she really tried to kill him, he might have to be stern and discipline her for the first time. He wouldn't mind if she acted cruel to villains, but if she tried to do that to innocent people, he might lose his temper.
This was the line he had drawn for his family.
"Oh well, too bad then. Since we can't give a formation talent to our family member, I just have to find a girl who is born talented in formation and you handle the rest, okay?" Anda said with a mischievous face.
She was just joking previously. How could she not know about Leyvi's bottom line? If she couldn't even figure that out, she didn't deserve to be Leyvi's favorite.
Leyvi was dumbfounded. Of course, everything came back to her, bringing a new girl for him.
A few hours later, the airship entered the grassland area, the place where they met Mr. Bison for the first time. He was alone and injured at that time.
Soon, Leyvi saw a herd of bison from afar. "Are they Mr. Bison's family?" There were over a hundred bison in the herd and five of them were low-level demonic bison leading the herd.
Leyvi summoned Mr. Bison from the spirit beast bag and showed him the herd.
SNORT!
The loud snort caused Dorin to drop her pudding, and it put her in a bad mood again. She then started complaining to someone. Leyvi could hear her voice in the background.
"Hmph, that female bison in the middle chased me out of the herd last time." Mr. Bison said with irritation.
"Huh? Did you do something wrong? Are you actually a criminal, Mr. Bison? You better confess. I'll let Stripey bring you to the Bara City's prison." Leyvi pretended to interrogate him.
"What the heck, boss! I am a law-abiding bison, okay? We bison usually have separate male and female herds. We were just small herds in the past. During mating season, we would meet for a short period and then separate again. When I became the first demonic bison in this area, I merged the herds so that I could protect them. There were many predators here, after all."
"After a while, because of my protection, five more demonic bison emerged from the herd. They were all female. I didn't mind because now we have more strength to protect ourselves, as our herd had grown bigger."
"However, one day, that female bison found a demonic core, consumed it, and became much stronger than me. She immediately challenged me to a fight and beat me. I got chased out of the herd after that. It turned out they didn't like a male bison leading them. They wanted the herd to be matriarchal again, as it usually was." Mr. Bison's story ended here. He kept staring at that female bison.
"Do you want to get revenge or something?" Leyvi asked. He could sympathize with Mr. Bison. If someone treated him like that, he would be mad, too.
SNORT!
Leyvi heard Dorin complaining again in the background.
"Hmph, I don't want revenge. I just want to show off a bit. Boss, bring me down."
