In a certain room in the Leyan Mansion, a group of eleven ladies sat around a round table, facing each other. Their expressions were serious, as if discussing something related to their life and death.
So far, there were only ten ladies who had truly become Leyvi's women, but when Anda invited Sawi to the emergency meeting jokingly, she surprisingly agreed to attend.
Who was Anda? She was the leader of Leyvi's harem group. She would definitely welcome any lady she had approved of to join her harem-building circle.
Unfortunately, when Anda invited Ava Clover to the emergency meeting, she ran away screaming "sex fiend." It was a reaction they had all grown accustomed to.
In the past seven months, although it was obvious that Sawi was interested in Leyvi, when the ladies confronted her, she never directly admitted it, making them wonder what was up with her. She also attended Sayu's special class regularly, albeit only as a spectator. At this point, even Anda couldn't figure out why she was hesitating.
A few months earlier, Sawi had requested Layla to build a smithy for her, which Layla immediately agreed to. She just added it to the list of multiple buildings under construction. Anda had long informed Layla that Sawi inherited a great blacksmith legacy from her ancestor. Anda told her to accommodate all of Sawi's requests relating to this.
Later, when Layla showed the design and layout of Sawi's soon-to-be workplace, Sawi was very touched to see how attentive Layla was. Not only would the smithy have a large space, but Layla also included all the equipment required for a blacksmith to work, and they were all of the best quality.
Additionally, her workplace would also have areas for alchemic smithing, an array and formation research room, and more. When she asked why, Layla replied, "Big Madam said that the future greatest inventress deserves the best support."
Sawi couldn't describe her feelings hearing that. Apart from Leyvi, Anda was also a great person. No, everyone here was a great person. Their willingness to go above and beyond for one another left her deeply moved.
"Fellow ladies, we can't let things continue like this. We haven't won against him a single time. Two-night battle campaigns, six nights total, all tactics and strategies failed," Anda spoke with a serious tone.
"Our Lord Husband has improved at an unprecedented rate. If we slack off, we might not be able to satisfy him anymore. This is a crisis for us, ladies! Our dignity as wives and concubines will be tarnished if we can't do this! Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?" she asked.
Anda had something in mind, but she wanted to hear ideas and suggestions from her sisters first. Anda realized that simply increasing the number of reinforcements wouldn't help much anymore. They needed to upgrade their quality too. It was a lesson they had learned the hard way after repeated defeats.
The first one to raise her hand was Nala.
"Yes, Temptress of the Night. Do you have a brilliant idea?" Anda asked. Temptress of the Night was Nala's codename that Anda had come up with for her. Anda had also prepared a codename for each lady, including herself.
"I do, Queen of Harmony," Nala replied. "In the Sexual Willpower Class conducted by the Scripture Princess, she frequently uses our Lord Husband's holy rod replica to teach us. I suggest we make more copies of the holy rod replica and let each of us carry one. If we have free time alone, we can use it for training."
The Scripture Princess, who Nala referred to, was Sayu. Anda derived the codename based on Sayu's tendency to buy many novels. She even had a separate space bag which she only used to store her collection of novels.
"Temptress of the Night, your suggestion is quite practical and logical. I approve of it," Anda nodded with a smile and turned her head, facing Sawi. "Miracle Inventress, I will leave this task to you. Can you do it? Make one for each of us."
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Sawi was dumbfounded as her face quickly turned red. She didn't expect that after absorbing some of the knowledge left behind by her ancestor, the first real work for her would be to make Leyvi's private part.
Do... do I have to measure his pe-penis personally? Oh my god! Wh-what should I do? Sawi stuttered even in her mind.
Seeing Sawi's expression, Anda immediately knew what she was thinking and said, "Oh Miracle Inventress, I didn't ask you to measure it directly from our Lord Husband. Did you forget that we already have a perfect replica? You can just use that."
"Eh?" Sawi was stunned, and then her red face became redder from embarrassment. Is it that easy to read my mind?
The other ladies giggled at Sawi's predicament. Once upon a time, they were innocent ladies too. A topic like this would have made them even redder than her. Of course, except for Nala, who seemed immune to such embarrassment.
"There is no need to be shy; we are all sisters here. If you can measure the real deal, that would be even better. After all, if you can emulate the texture, the heat, and other aspects accurately, it will give us a much better training experience. At the same time, success in creating it would greatly showcase a glimpse of the legacy of your ancestor. It will be your first step to greatness!" Anda said with a mischievous smile, her words both encouraging and teasing.
The other ladies' eyes were shining when they heard about the holy rod replica, which emulated the other aspects like a real one.
"Madam! Oops... Queen of Harmony! I support that idea completely!" Nala raised her hand, declaring her full support for the idea, followed by the vigorous nods of the other ladies.
Anda smiled and turned to Sawi. "You see that, Miracle Inventress? They are all counting on you. Only you have the ability to fulfill their wishes."
Sawi looked at everyone and started tearing up. She found it touching that they believed in her so much. This was what she liked the most about this family. It seemed that her decision to work for them was the most correct decision she had ever made.
According to her plan, she wanted to absorb all her ancestor's legacy and become a full-fledged great blacksmith first before she proposed to Leyvi because she felt that she was just a nobody right now.
But the ladies in the mansion were super supportive of her and kept trying to tempt her, wavering her resolve by bragging about Leyvi any chance they had, making it hard for her to contain herself.
Was it fine for her to become his woman? She felt that she wasn't worthy of him yet. The more she knew Leyvi, the more inferior she felt. That was why, even though it was very obvious to everyone that she liked Leyvi and wanted his holy rod too, she kept holding herself back.
The most important factor that made the Leyan Family win her over completely was the fact that, in the seven months she was here, nobody ever tried to inquire directly or indirectly about her ancestor's supreme blacksmith legacy. Her ancestor seemed to doubt Leyvi at that time, but this proved that even a great cultivator like him couldn't predict everything.
Sometimes it made her wonder and baffle whether she had actually received a real legacy or not. Wasn't this supposed to be a big, massive, shocking deal? But everyone seemed to be unfazed by her opportunities. They all were similar to Leyvi in this aspect. Did Leyvi influence them?
Free of greed. No, that wasn't quite right—she had seen them act greedy before. It was more like they were free of enviousness. That's right! They were content with what they had; it became pointless to covet someone else's treasure. That was the best way to describe it from her point of view.
Suddenly, Sawi's realization dawned. If she was holding herself back from pursuing Leyvi because of her inferiority, wouldn't that be disrespectful to Leyvi? Her actions made it seem like Leyvi only cared about status or the usability of a person. But that wasn't the case at all. He had never once treated any of them like they were less than equal, regardless of their backgrounds.
What's wrong with you, Sawi? Why do you keep doing this to a good person like Leyvi? Sawi felt guilty.
The ladies were staring at Sawi with curiosity. Is she having inner monologues right now? She had been making many weird expressions and weird gestures with her hands ever since she started tearing up.
They wondered what she was thinking.
The next moment, Sawi's expression changed again. She now had a determined face as if she had just made up her mind.
She focused her eyes on Anda and said, "Queen of Harmony, leave this task to me, the Miracle Inventress! I won't hesitate anymore and will go for it! After that, I will make use of the legacy I inherited to create the best holy rod replicas for everyone! Just wait for it!"
"Yay! Miracle Inventress, you are the best! We love you!" The ladies started cheering.
Anda smiled satisfyingly and then asked, "What made you hesitate before?"
Sawi looked down and explained everything she had been thinking previously with a slight blush—from how her inferiority made her hesitate to how she realized that doing so was a disrespect to Leyvi's character and how guilty that made her feel.
Anda was speechless. Girl, did you just guilt-trip yourself? She had used a "guilt trip" plan to make Sawi work with their family back then, but she didn't expect that Sawi would self-guilt-trip to convince herself to become Leyvi's woman.
Is this girl prone to guilt-tripping?
