Chapter 54 – Bara Forest

Chapter 54 – Bara ForestLeyvi and Valenia flew straight to the Law Enforcement Office.

When they arrived, they saw some people in cuffs being brought into the office. They probably committed some kind of crime.

Leyvi walked to one of the counters and asked the officer in charge, "Excuse me, can I know about a small demonic monkey who worked here? His name is Stripey and he has white stripes around his face."

The male officer looked at Leyvi suspiciously and didn't immediately answer him, "Who are you? Why do you want to know about Officer Stripey? You better not lie!" He stood up and interrogated Leyvi.

"Ah, pardon me. My name is Leyvi Leyan, I am Stripey's Tamer. I can tell he's in the building right now." Leyvi told the officer his identity politely.

"Officer Stripey's Tamer? Ah, I've heard that Officer Stripey has a tamer but we never knew who it was. You wait here. Don't you dare run! I'll bring Officer Stripey here first to confirm." The officer was about to turn when he remembered something.

Leyan? As far as he knows, there's only one Leyan family here, and it was registered only recently. Could it be?

"Ex-excuse me Mister Leyvi, could you be Alchemy Master Anda Leyan's husband?" He was suddenly nervous. 

"Yes, that's me." Leyvi smiled normally.

However, Leyvi's normal smile didn't look normal in the eyes of the officer.

"Forgive me Lord Leyvi! I was rude to you before! Please have mercy on me! Don't blacklist me please!" The officer suddenly bowed to Leyvi and asked for his forgiveness frantically. 

Suddenly everyone nearby heard the commotion and paid attention to them. 

Lord Leyvi? Who's that? To be able to make an officer begging for forgiveness, this guy must be a big shot. Everyone started gossiping.

Leyvi stood there dumbfounded. What in the world just happened? Was there an image recorder nearby? Was he being pranked? 

Leyvi looked at Valenia and saw her clutching her stomach laughing at his situation. This time it was his eyebrow that twitched. 

Because of the commotion, more and more officers came out to see the situation. Suddenly, Stripey appeared in front of Leyvi. He was wearing a small uniform tailored for his size.

"Umm Boss, what are you doing here?" Stripey asked. The officer's voice could still be heard apologizing in the background.

Leyvi felt a few waves of headache attacking his head because of the situation. "Can you tell this guy to stop apologizing?"

Before Stripey did anything, the officer stopped apologizing first.

Leyvi saw the officer stop so he asked, "You are an officer, why were you so scared of me? What is this ban are you talking about?"

"I-I don't want to be banned from buying Alchemist Master Anda's product. I didn't know it was Lord Leyvi previously so I talked rudely." He nervously explained.

"Mister is fine. What Lord? I don't have an important position. Was the ban really that harsh? It shouldn't make people scared like this right?" Asked the confused Leyvi.

"Lo-Mister Leyvi, on the surface it really was just a ban from buying, but below, it was like being sanctioned by everyone! Once your name was on the Alchemy Master Anda's ban list, people would stay away from you. It would be hard to find a job or business after that." The officer explained, still nervous.

Leyvi was stunned. He didn't expect his panda wife's influence would be this strong. A mere buying ban could destroy their life. Leyvi sighed, although he was a soft-hearted guy, his wife was totally not. Leyvi could only pray that nobody else would offend her.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, I'm not that petty. It was normal for an officer to be a bit stern. Keep up your good work!" Leyvi laughed and patted the officer's shoulder, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

Leyvi brought out a high-grade Minor Healing Elixir and gave it to the officer. "This is a little compensation for causing you emotional distress." Leyvi didn't want people to think the officer offended him and find trouble with the officer.

"Stripey, let's go talk somewhere else." Leyvi and Stripey walked out of the office. Leyvi lightly kicked Valenia's butt who was still laughing on the way out. 

Valenia quickly stood up and followed them out. For some reason, her mood has greatly improved. She felt like she got her revenge.

The officer was still stunned and stared at the high-grade Minor Healing Elixir in his hand. This was a precious life-saving elixir and Leyvi gave it to him just like that. This was one of the most expensive Tier-1 alchemy products.

"Dammit! Who said that Alchemist Master Anda married the wrong person? Lord Leyvi is definitely the best husband for her! If I, Barto heard anyone say things like that again, I'll fight them!" Officer Barto declared. 

And just like that, Leyvi got his first fan.

...

Leyvi, Valenia, and Stripey arrived at a nearby bench and sat there.

"So, what kind of job do you have?" Leyvi asked Stripey.

"Umm...My job is to find the evidence of people committing crimes! I used my ability to hide and record them using an image recorder." Stripey pointed at a round device hanging around his neck.

"Do you like this job?" Leyvi asked.

"Um, yes boss! I caught a lot of bad guys already. Scammers, blackmailers, abusers, they all caught! It's fun!" Stripey nodded vigorously.

"Since you like it. That's good. But don't forget to cultivate. Go home and ask Anda for spirit stones if you need them. And don't forget we are going to the Alchemy Conference soon. Everyone will go together and support Anda, no exception, understand?" Leyvi reminded.

"Umm! Stripey understand!" Stripey knew his priority.

"Alright, you can go back to your job." As soon as Leyvi said that Stripey immediately vanished. Leyvi could sense he was from their mental connection that he was heading back to the office.

After the Law Enforcement officers knew that Stripey came from the Leyan Family, they treated him with more respect.

When Leyvi and Valenia exited the city from the south gate, rumors about Leyvi started to spread rapidly. It was said that the husband of Alchemist Master Anda was a friendly person and was not arrogant at all. More and more people started to see Leyvi in a new light. 

Leyvi didn't know about any of this as he was heading to the forest southwest of Bara City, Bara Forest.

Bara Forest was a large forest connected to the forest from the West Region of Cloud Continent. It was home to countless demonic beasts and it was one of the places where cultivators in this area could hunt for demonic beasts and make money.

It was said that extremely strong demonic beasts lived in the inner part of the forest. However, this was unconfirmed since nobody dared to risk their life and went deeper into the forest. Even the high-level demonic beasts were already too much for them to handle.

Leyvi used his extraordinary spiritual sense to avoid meeting with other cultivators who also came to the Bara Forest. It was not because he was afraid of them, but to avoid unnecessary conflict.

The first thing Leyvi did when he arrived at the forest was to climb the trees. It gave him a sense of nostalgia since his rise started with climbing trees to find spirit herbs. Although this ability was useless now, it did help him a lot at the beginning.

"........." Valenia was speechless seeing Leyvi jumping on the trees and acting like a monkey. Madam, do you know that your husband has this weird hobby?

"Val, come up here!" Leyvi invited Valenia to join him.

"NO!!" She instantly rejected it. Is this guy serious?

"Hahaha!" Leyvi came down right next to Valenia. 

"When we hunt demonic beasts later, don't destroy their bodies, you need to control your aim and just cut the heads," Leyvi advised. When they were training, Leyvi noticed that her sword control was a bit lacking so she needed to learn to attack more precisely. He doesn't want her to destroy the precious demonic cores accidentally.

Valenia pouted at Leyvi's words. Don't look down on me okay? 

"Why is your lips like that? You want to kiss me or something? Since Anda allowed it, I'll reluctantly accept." Leyvi smiled and teased.

"You-!" Her annoyance increased again. She really wanted to beat him up, but she can't.

"Let's go! There's a pack of intermediate-level demonic wolves 3 kilometers from here." Leyvi turned in a certain direction and started flying. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Valenia followed suit but she wondered how Leyvi knew about things that far.

When the demonic wolves noticed Leyvi and Valenia, they immediately attacked. Three wolves lunge and bite at Leyvi but he just stands there waiting. The three intermediate-level demonic beasts' fangs instantly broke and they wailed in pain.

Leyvi grabbed two of the demonic wolves' heads and sent Qi jolts to them. His Qi jolt was no longer the same as in the past. The force of his Qi jolt now instantly turned their brain into mushes. He then grabbed the other one and killed it as well.

In the past, he probably could only fight one of them at a time. However, it was different now. Leyvi launched himself forward going after the rest of the pack. Each normal punch from him would shatter their skull and kill them on the spot.

Valenia who barely killed two demonic wolves was amazed by Leyvi's strength.
