"Son-in-law, good luck." Magnus noticed that Caterina was beside Leyvi but he pretended to be oblivious.

Leyvi was uncomfortable. It has been hours like this. He couldn't even have a proper conversation with Selene in this situation.

After another hour of awkward situations like this, Leyvi decided to confront the cat woman ghost.

His hand stretched towards her slowly, trying to poke her arm. He wanted to see if he could touch this ghost.

When his index finger was about to make contact, Caterina turned her body facing Leyvi, causing his finger to poke her breast. Soft and firm.

Huh? I can touch the ghost? Weren't ghosts supposed to be intangible?

"Are you a ghost?" Leyvi asked, using a sound transmission. He wasn't sure if the sound transmission could be used to communicate with a ghost or not.

Caterina was stunned for a moment and giggled. So he thought that I was a ghost. Well, it makes sense from his perspective. Except for the Nascent Soul experts who pretended not to see me, he was the only one who could see through my obscuring technique.

What the heck? Why are you giggling? Answer my question, you ghost. Leyvi glanced at Selene and noticed that she didn't even hear the giggle. Maybe she was a ghost for real.

Suddenly, Leyvi hears an ethereal voice. "Yes, my love, I have been waiting for you for centuries. You were born too late and I'm no longer alive, only waiting for you in this place as a ghost. I was waiting for someone my whole life and even after death, I kept waiting. And finally, a few days ago, I saw you and knew that you are the one I waited for all this time."

The ethereal voice gave Leyvi goosebumps. Leyvi looked at Caterina with wide eyes.

My love? It's over! A ghost has targeted me! This is all Anda's fault. She kept saying that she wanted to bring in a fairy maiden, saintess, and goddess, but now, a female ghost appeared first!

"But I can touch you. If you are a ghost, that shouldn't happen, right?" Leyvi tried to find a loophole.

"That's the proof of our bond. Others can't see and touch me. Only those who are fated can cross this boundary." Caterina said sincerely with teary eyes.

Inwardly, she was fighting for her life, trying to hold back her laugh. This was so much fun! She should do this kind of prank more! If she had been aware of this sooner, it wouldn't have been so boring!

"This....Is that true?" Leyvi was still in disbelief, even though the evidence was in her favor.

"It's true, my love. We will be together from now on." Caterina grabbed Leyvi's hand and kissed it with her cherry lips.

Leyvi was speechless. He didn't know what to say. It didn't seem like she was lying. Does this mean that a pretty ghost would haunt him from now on?

If he told Anda about this, she would just welcome the female ghost instead of chasing her away. It would be better if he solved this problem by himself.

If a ghost was stuck here and unable to move on, it must be because it has some kind of unfulfilled wish! All he had to do was help her fulfill the wish!

Leyvi switched mode and became Ghost Detective Leyvi. He will assist the ghost cat lady in moving on and allowing her to be reincarnated.

"Miss ghost, may I know your name?" Leyvi was serious.

"My love, my name is Rina. Do you believe me now?" She said with endearing eyes.

"Yes Miss Rina, I believe you. That's why I'm going to do my best to help you reincarnate!" Leyvi sincerely said.

It was Caterina's turn to be speechless.

What do you mean, you want me to reincarnate? I'm here trying to trick you into my bedroom, not killing myself!

"But my love....I don't want to go. I want to be by your side forever." Caterina continued her acting.

Ugh, this is going to be hard. This ghost is haunting me. It's not going to be easy to make her leave my side.

"Miss Rina, is there anything that you wish to do? Like a lingering regret?" Leyvi asked.

Caterina's eyes shined. This is the chance!

"My love, I would love to have your baby," Caterina said in a desperate tone.

What? A baby with a ghost? How am I supposed to do that? Can a ghost give birth? Hang on, if I can't fulfill her wish, doesn't that mean she will haunt me forever? Oh, lord.

"Is that really what you wished for? Nothing else?" Leyvi tried to confirm.

"Yes, my love. I can only be at peace having your baby." Caterina had a yearning expression.

It's over! How am I supposed to do that? Leyvi held his forehead with his hands.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Selene noticed that Leyvi had been acting weird for a while. It was as if he was secretly conversing with someone, but no one was there.

"Leyvi, is there any problem?" Selene asked.

Oh crap, I must have looked weird, making hand gestures and stuff, talking alone. I need to solve this situation fast. What if they thought I was crazy later if I kept having to talk to her like this?

"Ah, nothing! I was just thinking about something. I tend to act like this while having an internal monologue. Hahaha!" Leyvi lied to Selene.

"Miss Rina, you can find me again later to figure out a way to fulfill your wish. How about after the alchemy competition is over?" He suggested.

"No problem, my love, I can wait for you forever!" Caterina disappeared instantly.

Leyvi searched around him, but she wasn't nearby. He remembered something and immediately looked at the cat chair. Sure enough, she was there again with the white cat, waving happily at him.

Is that the place where she attached herself as a ghost? What should I do? Can I really impregnate a ghost? Maybe I should ask someone with more life experience.

"Father-in-law, can a ghost get pregnant?" He sent a sound transmission to Magnus.

"Pfftt! Cough cough!" Magnus choked on his saliva when the question popped suddenly.

"Husband, are you alright? Did you get cursed or something?" Madam Goldstone patted his back.

Magnus was about to say something to Leyvi when suddenly he received a sound transmission first.

"If you ruin my fun, I will visit the Goldstone Family to play."

Magnus felt chills all over his body when he heard her warning. Forgive me, son-in-law, you are on your own.

"Son-in-law, ehem, your sudden question surprised me, but yes, you can do that. That's all I can say. I don't want to get involved."

Leyvi expressed surprise. She can get pregnant? He knew just now that he could touch the ghost and probably be intimate, but he didn't expect it was possible to impregnate her, too.

Furthermore, his father-in-law sounded like he knew about this ghost and didn't want to get dragged into the mess. If previously Leyvi was 70% sure, now it became 90% sure.

Anda, my wife, did you promote your husband to this cat lady ghost? You did, didn't you? Leyvi secretly faulted the situation to Anda because it was the most logical reason.

"Hehehe! Luna, that kid is so interesting! He really thought that I was a ghost!" Caterina giggled amusingly.

"At this point, you are no different from a ghost! You are going to haunt him until you get his dick, anyway. Poor kid," Luna lazily mocked her.

"Hmph! You are so boring, you virgin cat! Maybe you should find a male cat too. Last time you rejected that stupid tiger, I was the one who had to clean up your mess. I even put him in the museum so you can reminisce."

"Leave me alone. I like being single. And I told you many times already to throw his bones away! You are just doing that to annoy me!"

The woman and the cat continued bickering as usual.

Two days later.

Mia Fafifa became the first contestant who created a tier-2 alchemy product using 6 of the provided ingredients.

As an alchemist, she was more interested in doing research and experimenting with different ingredients rather than making the same product over and over. As a result, she became extremely proficient at figuring out which ingredients were compatible with one another.

Although Elder Godari had confirmed that they could make a product using seven of the ingredients, she had no interest in following the same route. It was time to showcase her expertise to the world and secure the most points!

So, after four days of theorizing, calculating, and experimenting, she finally created a low-grade elixir.

If Anda saw this, she would notice that it was almost identical to the elixir she had made, but her Alchemy Vision would show some composition differences between them.

"Hahaha! Very good! She actually made the Skyflare Elixir, but only used six of the ingredients. This Mia girl is an amazing genius too!" Elder Godari praised.

An alchemy product doesn't necessarily only have one alchemy formula to make it. Over time, alchemists have discovered more and more ways to make the same product.

They either used completely different ingredients or left out some ingredients from the original formula. What Mia Fafifa did was the latter. She directly improved Elder Godari's alchemy formula by reducing the amount of ingredients needed.
