Anda stopped and turned around. "Are you sure?"

"Yes....." The veins on Palace Master Dirk's forehead haven't subsided.

He would leave the small fry alchemist alone first because she was under the Alchemy Association's protection. However, be prepared to feel his wrath after the Mystic Realm ended.

Afterward, Anda received four tier-4 Alchemy Formulas after signing the contract. Dirk and the people of the Pill Palace left the Grand Stadium immediately shortly after.

"Is it okay to offend them, Anda? He was just a little arrogant to me. It's not that big of a deal. I don't think we should become enemies with them." Leyvi massaged Anda's shoulders, trying to calm her.

How could he not know she did this because the Palace Master offended him? He thought he was bold enough when he offended Ori Oregano at the auction.

It turned out that Anda was even bolder than him. She didn't mind at all offending a leader of a big organization. He wasn't sure if this was a good decision or not.

"Emmm.........Nope, it's not worth it trying to be nice to a person like that. He would still look down on us because of our inferior status. Hmph, Pill Palace? Watch I destroy that place in the future." Anda enjoyed the massage for a minute before she replied.

"Okay okay, calm down Alchemist Goddess Anda, you don't need to go that far." Leyvi was sometimes worried about Anda's ruthless side. His hands moved from her shoulders to somewhere else.

Anda looked at Leyvi and questioned, "Husband, why are you touching my crotch? We are in public right now."

"I was just checking. I feel like you have bigger balls than me." Leyvi teased.

"Pfftt! Hehe." Anda giggled at Leyvi's joke. However, like magic, her bad mood instantly disappeared.

Layla was laughing as well, but she agreed with Leyvi. Anda was too fearless at times.

After waiting for a while, Vitali returned again with a delicate-looking girl by his side. His face was black and blue, obviously from a beating.

The delicate girl was wearing a light blue dress with clover patterns. Her hair was curled up into a twin bun. The two buns had green ribbons tied around them, making them look like clover. She also has a cute face on par with Selene.

Leyvi, who saw Vitali, immediately wanted to protest against Anda. Wouldn't he be the one who would get beaten by her next if she joined the family? He didn't mind getting beaten up while training, but in public like Vitali....

How did Vitali get beaten up by this delicate lady, anyway? Did she use a club or something?

"Hahaha, brother Leyvi, this is my sister, Ava Clover. She is quite cute, right? Now you have seen her, you will accept the proposal, right?" Vitali acted shamelessly again.

Uhh.... Leyvi still couldn't get used to someone way older than him, probably over 400 years old, calling him a brother.

Ava was very annoyed and angry about this whole situation. Although she owed the family a lot, being forced to marry a random guy out of nowhere made her furious.

Not only that, but her supposed husband was only in his twenties! Excuse me, hello? She was already over 200 years old!

Ava glared at Leyvi as if she was trying to bite him. Hmph, even if you become my husband, don't ever dream of touching my body! I will beat you until nobody can recognize you.

Uhh... Leyvi felt awkward. This Ava girl seemed to hate him so much. Well, he could understand her perspective, being forced to marry. It was not the same situation as Selene, where she was the one who liked him first.

After a few seconds of inspecting, Anda shook her head. "Patriarch Vitali, I'm afraid I have to decline the marriage proposal. She is not qualified to be my husband's wife!"

Everyone there was shocked, especially Leyvi, for a different reason. This was the first time Anda rejected a potential harem member. Could it be that this Ava girl was evil?

Vitali's expression turned serious for the first time. "Alchemist Anda, what do you mean by your statement?"

He got beaten up twice by his sister to set this up, but now the other party rejected her. Why was this? What about the discount then?

In this situation, the person most affected was Ava Clover. She was forced into this marriage crap, but now she suddenly got rejected. Her head was spinning.

What is happening? Don't tell me I got rejected because they think I am too old. Unforgivable! Argh! I need to punch something right now!

"Patriarch Vitali, please don't be offended. I really appreciate you and I have no problem with your younger sister physically. She is a very attractive woman," Anda said.

"Then what's the problem with her?" He was curious now.

"The problem is with her personality. I feel like she is too violent and unstable to integrate well with our family, and I could sense that she didn't take us seriously because of our young age." Anda explained.

Leyvi let out a relieved sigh and smiled happily. Thank goodness. He didn't want to deal with a fierce tigress every day.

Vitali was stunned. How did she know about his sister's personality very well? Although her unstable temper was because of the body cultivation method she practiced, it is true.

Vitali sighed. Goodbye 50% family discount.

Wait, who said that it has to be his sister? They decided that because she was the only choice here at the time.

"Hahaha! Alchemist Anda, Brother Leyvi, since my sister is not compatible with your family, how about I invite you guys to our place? You can select any maiden from our family and we could still be in-laws!" Vitali changed his plan and suggested, trying his best for the 50% family discount.

"WAIT!"

Ava, who had never spoken a word since the beginning, finally said something. She seemed very annoyed and had a lot of things to say. Getting dragged here and then disregarded shortly. She couldn't take it anymore. She had to stand up for herself!

Only the Clover and the Leyan Family members were here now and all were looking at Ava, waiting for her to say her piece.

"Alchemist Anda right?" Ava moved closer. Vitali prepared himself to restrain her in case she went ballistic.

Anda nodded. She noticed that Ava's eyes were parallel to hers. They both probably have the same height.

"You said that I am too violent and can't possibly integrate with your family, right? Where is the proof of that? How can you decide something like that without any basis?" Ava questioned. She disagreed with Anda completely.

"Isn't that your doing?" Anda pointed at Vitali's face casually. His face still hasn't recovered completely.

"Uhh..." Ava instantly didn't know how to defend herself. A few moments later, she came up with something.

"Ahem, that was something that only happened with my brother because he is shameless. I have never been violent with other people. So your argument is invalid. A delicate and soft person like me can definitely integrate anywhere I go." Ava confidently cooked up an excuse.

Vitali and other Clover Family members at the back rolled their eyes when they heard that. Did the infamous King Kong Princess of the Clover Family say she had never been violent with other people? Who would believe that?

Anda smiled mischievously. "So you are saying that you are willing to prove that you can integrate into our family as my husband's wife? What if you acted all high and mighty just because you were older? What if you act violently and cause trouble for us?"

Leyvi saw Anda's familiar smile and his eyes widened immediately as he realized something.

Wait a minute, don't tell me that Anda has been aiming for this outcome ever since she inspected her.

"Fine! I'll prove it to you by having a marriage contract! If I ever did any of the bad things you said before, you can divorce me and send me back to the Clover Family and they will compensate you."

Ava's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. There was no way she could back off after being challenged like this. She, Ava Clover, will prove to everyone that she can be a proper woman!

It's over. The Evil Panda Mastermind had completely ensnared her, and she didn't even realize it. What was more unbelievable, she even volunteered to jump into the trap. Leyvi felt pity for her.

He felt that Anda was the one with 200 years of experience while Ava was the naive 20-year-old girl and not the other way around.

"Good. Sister Ava, if you believe so, I won't have any objection anymore. Everyone in the family will support you wholeheartedly so we can improve together as a family." Anda quickly changed the way she treated Ava from distrustful to supportive, like a sister.

Soon, the negotiation with the Clover Family concluded as well. Ava was married to Leyvi with a marriage contract. Anda received one tier-4 Alchemy Formula and a large amount of alchemy ingredients in exchange for the two spots in the Mystic Realm.

With the negotiations settled, it was time for them to return to the Mountain Dew Sect after a year away.

However, they decided to enjoy a few days in the Holy Cat City first before returning. They have an airship now, after all. There was no need to rush.
