Following the breakthrough event of Bara City, more and more people tried to reach Anda requesting her to make specific alchemic products for them. They would pay a huge amount of money.
However, Anda declined. She released a statement that she wouldn't be taking any specific orders and she would only concoct when she felt like it and the product would be different every time she sent them to the Treasure Pavilion.
Although Anda's statement seemed arrogant, nobody dared to criticize her because she had a real ability to back it up. What if they criticize her and it causes them to be banned from buying her product?
Leyvi was amazed by Anda. In such a short amount of time, she managed to conquer Bara City with ease. Anda was the sole breadwinner of their family right now but he didn't mind. In fact, he was proud of it. Who else can have a wife as capable as his?
Leyvi had been training with Valenia for a week in the basement training area. The tall woman who was only a bit shorter than Leyvi used an enormous broadsword to fight with him. The enormous broadsword was as tall and as wide as her.
Leyvi fought Valenia numerous times to gain more close combat experience. On the other hand, Valenia was frustrated because she couldn't injure Leyvi in the slightest even though her combat style could deal great damage. She had never met anyone in the same realm who she couldn't injure so this whole week had been frustrating for her.
Usually, metal-attributed spirit root cultivators who were good at manipulating Qi fight with flying weapons. However, Valenia had a metal-attributed spirit root but she was terrible at manipulating Qi so she fought by pouring her Qi into her broadsword and swinging her broadsword around to deal great damage. This was also the reason why she had a toned body.
When her broadsword clashed with Leyvi's body, it felt like a clash with another metal. The recoil would numb her hands.
"Hahaha! Val, we have fought long enough. Let's rest. Tomorrow let's go out and hunt a lot of demonic beasts." Leyvi suggested. He had more fighting experience now and with his newly tempered body, he was itching to fight.
Valenia looked at the topless man who would be her man in the future. He had been calling her Val because he thought her name was too long and Val sounded cooler. What reasoning was that? What do you mean cooler? She's a maiden! Just a little muscular maiden.
"I need to ask permission from madam first, I'm her Alchemic Knight, not you!" Valenia replied.
"Do you think she's going to reject me? My wife loves me the most you know." Leyvi smiled proudly, taunting Valenia in the process.
"You-!" Valenia didn't know how to counter that. Her madam indeed doted on her husband the most. There were already some people who got banned from buying her alchemy products because they said she married the wrong person.
Valenia turned around and randomly swung her broadsword slashing the air to release some of her pent-up irritation.
"Val, hit me instead of slashing the air" Leyvi continued teasing her.
Valenia swung her broadsword even faster, showing clear irritation at his tease.
In Anda's room,
"Anda, I'm borrowing Valenia for some time. I want to hunt some demonic beasts in the forest southwest of here." Leyvi asked Anda who was lying in his arms after they had intimate time together.
"I'm going too." Anda looked at Leyvi and replied.
"No need. Stay here and practice your alchemy. The alchemy conference is just in a few months. Get used to Little Fiery first." Leyvi denied her.
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
"Fine....." Anda reluctantly agreed.
"Are there any ingredients that you need? I could hunt them for you." Leyvi offered. It was along the way in any case.
Anda started thinking and after a while, she started listing all the ingredients she needed that were within Leyvi's capability to find. There's no way she would put her husband in danger after all.
Anda also gave Leyvi a huge amount of top-grade Medium Healing Elixir and other remedy products for emergencies. However, she doesn't think any intermediate-level demonic beast could hurt Leyvi anymore. She reminded Leyvi to instantly run away if any high-level demonic beast appeared in his spiritual sense. She knew how extraordinary his spiritual sense was.
Later, while Anda was sleeping beside him, Leyvi looked at the menu he hadn't seen in quite a while.

The first thing he noticed was that the Talent Bead had leveled up. Leyvi immediately looked at the new talents available.
Stamina? Being able to do something for a long time without getting tired does sound nice. What about Clone? This talent is pretty good too. If he gives this talent to Anda, won't she use it against him in the bed? Leyvi imagined countless Anda sucking his essence, he got goosebumps. No, no. He can't let Anda know about this.
Leyvi saw that Anda's feelings toward him reached the max. Wow! When did this happen? He wasn't sure. He wondered if this was related to the new benefit he got out of nowhere. He didn't give anyone a talent but he got a Fire Immunity benefit.
This must be because Anda's feeling points reached 100. There's no other reason to explain this. So, he could get more benefits this way too but it seemed way harder than just giving talent to someone. It was possible with Anda but with other people, unlikely.
What shocked him was Tal. His feeling points went up to 99! He didn't think he did anything special, why would his feeling points go up so high?
Leyvi decided to check on the menu this time because he had plans for the previous three talents.
After seeing Valenia, he felt he should give Sword talent to her later, maybe after she liked him more because he could tell she was annoyed with him right now. Leyvi admitted it was his fault he taunted her too much during the training.
Aside from that, the other reason why he wanted to go to the forest this time was to tame another demonic beast and give it the Dig talent. For some reason, he felt that giving this talent to a demonic beast was more suitable than giving it to a human. Since he decided to be a Beast Tamer, his third spirit beast will be given this talent.
As for the Taming talent, he would reserve that for one of his children later. He wanted to pass down his beast-taming legacy to his offspring.
Leyvi looked at the new talents that had just been added and thought that he would decide this later. Afterward, Leyvi closed the menu and shut his eyes.
.......
"Since we are going there for training, we'll fly there this time. No need Mr. Bison," Leyvi said to Anda. Leyvi, Anda, and Valenia had just come out of the mansion.
Mr. Bison who was relaxing at the side felt relieved when he heard Leyvi. After Anda became super rich, he rarely had to pull the carriage anymore because they bought multiple spirit-stone-powered luxury carriages. Now anyone in the house could go anywhere in the city without relying on him and public transportation anymore.
"Mr. Bison, if you get too lazy and don't train at all, I'm releasing you back to the grassland. You hear me?" Leyvi warned the lazy bison.
"Boss! How am I supposed to train? Anything I ram would get destroyed." Mr. Bison gave a convincing excuse.
"Fine! When I get back, ready your ass! You are training with me again!" Leyvi smiled. The bison was caught in his trap.
Mr. Bison was stunned. He should have just shut his mouth. Now he has to train with his boss again. He regretted it.
Anda giggled. She didn't know what Mr. Bison was saying but she knew Leyvi won the exchange looking at their reactions.
Valenia still can't get used to this situation. She heard Leyvi could talk to animals, no wonder he could become a beast tamer.
"Alright. Val, let's go!" Leyvi turned and said to her.
Valenia's eyebrow twitched when she heard that. Can you please not? She complained in her heart.
"Be careful. Val, take care of your future husband." Anda reminded Valenia.
Valenia's eyebrow twitched again. Madam, not you too. She really doted on her husband too much. If only her future husband could be a bit less annoying. As she was thinking that, she saw Leyvi's smug face. Valenia's wish instantly crumbled.
Leyvi and Valenia flew out of the properties. Valenia followed closely behind.
"Let's go to the Law Enforcement Office first," Leyvi told Valenia. He was curious about what kind of jobs were given to Stripey.
