"Sister Vivian, why are you crying? Shouldn't you be mad at me? I whispered sweet words to Lilian every day until she agreed to be my husband's wife, you know." Anda asked in a muffled voice because her head had been buried between her melons.
Anda was utterly confused. It seemed like she had misjudged the situation. She assumed that Vivian was an overprotective older sister. That was why she expected her to be mad when she found out. But no, she expressed gratitude instead, while sobbing uncontrollably.
"Huaaaaa....Anda...hum....you don't know how bad her introverted personality affected her life." Vivian stopped crying mid-sentence.
"Do you think she would ever meet with anyone if she hadn't traveled with you and stayed in her garden? I had to do so many things to convince her to go out, you know. I hoped she would meet with someone during the travel, but I didn't expect it would be your husband." She continued.
Oh yeah. Now that she mentioned it, Lilian was indeed a bit troublesome. When Leyvi gave her the gardening talent, she forgot about time and didn't sleep for a long time, turning into a panda. As a result, they hired Sayu to be her personal maid and things became much better.
Anda could imagine how difficult it was for Vivian to handle her sister alone. No wonder she got so happy when she learned that her sister was married. She was worried that her sister would resume her old forever-alone life in the garden.
"Hehe, Sister Vivian, so this means you don't mind it right? They got your blessing, right?" Anda asked while giggling.
"Of course, I still mind! Has Leyvi been good to her? He wouldn't neglect her because he has multiple wives, right?" Vivian questioned. After all, Ava and Selene were two cute ladies.
Anda rolled her eyes. "Who do you think is more likely to neglect the other, Leyvi or Lilian?" She countered.
Vivian was dumbfounded. No matter what kind of scenario she tried to play in her head, based on her sister's nature, she knew exactly the answer to that question.
"Uhh... won't Leyvi be tired of her because of this?" Suddenly, Vivian became worried about her sister's married life.
"I don't know. All I know is that I'm always Leyvi's favorite. I feel a little bad for my other ten sisters, but becoming Leyvi's woman is already their best blessing. It's infinitely better than being single or marrying a horrible man. After all, Leyvi is the best!" Anda bragged, looking proud.
Vivian was speechless. She noticed that Anda's infatuation with her husband had transcended normal logic. She couldn't even fathom what was going through her mind. Vivian sighed. Her little sister was one kind of extreme, but now her disciple was also another kind of extreme.
Wait a minute! Did she say ten sisters? Vivian quickly calculated the number of ladies in the house, excluding Dorin. The number matches! They are all Leyvi's women? How? Even Sect Master Gunung only has three wives.
"Sister Vivian, if Lilian didn't put in any effort, maybe Leyvi would be tired of her. Sigh, I put so much work into getting them together, you know." Anda acted worried, while she laughed mischievously inside.
"Oh no, I can't let that happen! It's time for a special training! Anda, I got to go!" Vivian hurriedly stormed out of the room. She was told that Anda would stay here for a week. So she would use this period to make sure that Lilian undergoes a special course to be the perfect wife! Her sister can't lose to the other ladies!
And just like that, Lilian got dragged by Vivian for a week, learning various skills she thought a good wife should know. Every time Anda saw the Melon sisters doing something together, she would be giggling.
During this week, Leyvi brought Tal and Bana to the Triad Forest to let them experience fighting demonic beasts. The demonic beasts near the sect were mostly low-level, so they were perfect for practice.
Leyvi's spiritual sense could cover 16 16-kilometer radius now, so finding demonic beasts was a simple task.
A year ago, Leyvi thought that he wouldn't have to guide Tal that much because they have spirit roots of different elements. But thanks to the talent bead, he now has five elements affinity.
Although he had attributeless spirit root, generating Qi of the five elements was a piece of cake now. This allowed him to learn any martial skill of those elements. So far, he has learned two element-based martial skills. One was Fiery Trailblazer martial skill, and the other was Lilian's Plant Conjuror martial skill. He had never used the Plant Conjuror martial skill in a battle yet, only the night battles.
Recently, he became interested in the Clay Golem Army martial skill that Tal was mastering and learned it as well. Thankfully, the fundamentals of Plant Conjuror and Clay Golem Army martial skills were very similar, so Leyvi got down the basics quickly. Adding the Earth-elemental martial skill to the list, he now had learned three element-based martial skills.
"Master, why are you making a clay golem of yourself?" Tal asked.
Tal's clay golem was still a chess pawn holding a spear. However, compared to previously, its movement now was much more agile and smoother. Only after he could perfectly control the first clay golem would he create a second one.
"Hahaha! You are supposed to create clay golems based on the things that you are familiar with, so of course your master created himself. I'm familiar with my body the most!" Leyvi said.
Tal nodded. He decided to create a chess piece clay golem because he was most familiar with chess. His dream was to create a whole chess set with this martial skill and play a chess game on it. That would be fun!
"Look at that, the Demonic Boar couldn't even tickle my clay golem. Come on Tal, try to kill it. Until you can defeat a low-level demonic beast on your own, the training won't end!" Leyvi's clay golem acted as a punching bag so that Tal could focus on attacking for now.
After Tal became exhausted, Leyvi told him to rest and let Bana substitute. Leyvi wanted him to take it easy because he was quite old, but he insisted on getting some battle experience, so Leyvi allowed him.
Coincidentally, Bana had a metal spirit root and was good with manipulation Qi, so Leyvi gave him the sword-controlling martial skill that he obtained from one of the five pretty guys who tried to assault Dorin last time. Since it was just manipulating swords, it wouldn't be too taxing for his old body. When he got time later, maybe he would learn this martial skill too, for his metal affinity.
"Father-in-law, how is it? Is it hard to control? If it is difficult, you can swap the sword with a lighter one." Leyvi suggested. Hana was his concubine now, so he naturally addressed Bana as father-in-law.
Bana still felt embarrassed whenever Leyvi addressed him as father-in-law. After all, he was just a nobody. He already told Leyvi to call him old Bana as usual, but he insisted. Not only did he marry his poor daughter, but he also gave an old man like him a fate-changing treasured fruit. Other people would kill their own family for something much less than that.
This was the reason he was adamant about learning how to fight, even though it seemed like it was too late already for him. He needed to have some ability to protect the family.
"Bababa! I'm fine. I just need to get used to it. I never had the chance to do all of this when I was younger, so I'm enjoying this." Bana tried to attack the demonic boar with the flying sword, but the attempt was so clumsy it failed to injure it.
Every time the demonic boar tried to charge at Tal or Bana, Leyvi's clay golem would block its path and kick it away. The boar realized that it couldn't kill them, so it decided to flee. Unfortunately, before it managed to run far, a vine constricted its leg and dragged it back near them.
The demonic boar felt like crying. After its arrogant uncle got killed three years ago, it had trained so hard to become a demonic beast and inherit his status as the Boar Lord. Almost three years later, the demonic boar succeeded. It thought it could control this area of the forest, but reality slapped it in the face. The demonic boar was forced to fight a kid and an old human to death.
And just like that, another demonic boar lost its life in the same area. Since then, no other demonic boars dared to visit this place as it has become the cursed land of the boars.
A week passed by quickly.
It was time for the Leyan Family to return to Bara City. Leyvi, Anda, and Lilian had relinquished the houses under their name back to the sect so that other disciples could use them.
"Huaaaaa..... Lilian.....my beloved little sister..... e back and visit.... sniff.... frequently, okay?" Vivian couldn't bear to part with her sister again.
Lilian nodded. She patted Vivian's head to calm her down. Strangely, Lilian seemed like the big sister, while Vivian was the younger sister this time.
"Sister Vivian, don't worry. Later, I will buy more airships and give you one. That way, you can come visit us in Bara City easily with the little ones." Anda said while smiling mischievously.
