Chapter 98 – Sudden Visit

Chapter 98 – Sudden Visit"Now that you are aware of this, can you try using spiritual pressure? Try it on Lilian." Anda instructed.

Nala nodded as Lilian's spiritual pressure disappeared from her body. She spread her spiritual sense and focused it on Lilian, but after a few minutes of trying, nothing came out of it. Nala was frustrated, this was a strong ability to have, from what Anda said, all Core Formation realm cultivators could do it.

In the end, she failed. She has tried everything but her spiritual sense didn't produce any pressure.

Anda nodded. It was just as she thought. It proved that the alchemy formula was right. She didn't know how long the window for the transformation was, but it was best to do it during the breakthrough so it could further compress the core as Lilian did.

Nala was sad and disappointed. She missed a great power because she didn't know about it.

Seeing Nala sad, Anda smiled and said "Nala, don't worry about it. I have a way to make you learn that ability but it will take some time. There's an alchemy product to help you learn it but right now I don't have the ingredients for it."

"Really Big Madam?" Nala's eyes lit up again.

"Hahaha! Nala, if Anda said she can do it, she will do it. Never doubt the greatest woman ever lived, Goddess Anda!" Leyvi convinced Nala, acting as Anda's biggest backer.

"Hooray!! Long live Goddess Anda! Long Live Goddess Anda!" Nala cheered.

"Thank you, Goddess Anda, I will work hard to be worthy of this gift!" Nala exclaimed, her spirits lifted. She started her breakfast with high spirits.

Anda smiled widely at their actions. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The old Bana looked shaky as he entered the room, his eyes darting around nervously before settling on the head of the Leyan Family. "Mister Leyvi, there is a... a person here to see you," he stuttered, his voice quivering.

Leyvi looked up from his breakfast, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "Who is it?" he asked, curiosity piqued.

Bana took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. "I'm not sure, I don't know anyone from here, Mister Leyvi. But he seems to be a very powerful one. He said he's here to see you personally." The visitor didn't try to intimidate him but the aura leaked from him was enough to make him shaken. He was only a Qi Refinement weakling after all.

Leyvi nodded, his curiosity growing. He took a deep breath and spread his spiritual sense, reaching out towards the visitor. His spiritual sense was like a gentle breeze, probing the man's aura. It didn't take long for him to realize that the visitor was a formidable late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator, possibly even approaching the peak stage.

Leyvi rarely used his spiritual sense when they were in a city because the city was safe. Furthermore, if he were to keep his spiritual sense active all the time, the women in the house might not have any privacy, so he has to be more considerate.

Beside the powerful man, was a short young woman with a late-stage Foundation Building cultivation. Her silhouette felt familiar but he couldn't exactly remember who she was.

"Let them in, bring them here," he told Bana. Leyvi dismissed the other people from the dining room leaving only him and Anda here. There was plenty of food left so he might as well treat his guest.

The old servant nodded, retreating to do as he was told. Moments later, the doors swung open and a figure strode into the room. The man was tall and robust, with a stern gaze that seemed to pierce through any pretense. His attire was rich and grand, with gold embroideries that danced in the light, the unmistakable symbol of the Goldstone family adorning his chest.

The Goldstone family was one of the three most renowned alchemy families in the South Region, their reputation unmatched and their wealth beyond measure. The sight of the symbol on his clothes was like a declaration of his lineage and status. The middle-aged man was tall but the young woman was very short, probably the same height as Fifi.

Leyvi and Anda glanced at each other. Both of them have the same question in their mind. What does the Goldstone Family want with him? In fact, as far as Leyvi remembered, he never had any interaction with them.

"Welcome to our humble abode, esteemed guest. I am Leyvi Leyan, the head of this family. May I know what brings you here today? Ah, please sit down and enjoy the food while you are at it." Leyvi rose from his seat, his voice calm and collected as he offered a polite smile to the newcomers.

Magnus Goldstone took a seat at the table, his eyes gleaming with a mix of curiosity and scrutiny as he observed the couple before him, especially Leyvi. He was a man of distinction, with a robust frame that spoke of power and wealth. His blonde beard, the same color as his blonde hair, was meticulously groomed, and his eyes, though gentle, had the sharpness of a hawk's gaze.

"Thank you for receiving us, Mr. and Mrs. Leyan," Magnus said, his voice resonating with authority. "I am Magnus Goldstone, the patriarch of the Goldstone Family, and this is my daughter Selene." He gestured to the young woman beside him, who offered a shy smile and a courteous nod. Her eyes were glued at Leyvi all this time.

Selene was indeed short, with bouncy curls that cascaded down to her shoulders like a golden waterfall. Her hair was blonde, the same color as her father's, but it had a unique luster to it, as if it was kissed by the sun itself. Her eyes were round and bright, filled with curiosity. Her cheeks were flushed with a natural blush, which made her look like a porcelain doll come to life. In short, she was a very cute girl.

Leyvi felt a little awkward under Selene's gaze. She was staring at him like a love-stricken teenager. He knew he wasn't bad-looking, but to be honest, he had never been the subject of such intense scrutiny from a stranger before, oh wait, he did, from Nala. Correction, not from someone from such a powerful family with her powerful dad by her side.

Magnus cleared his throat, bringing the room's attention back to him. "My daughter Selene, she has taken quite a liking to you, Mr. Leyan. In fact, she insists that you take her as your main wife." He said it as if it was the most natural thing in the world, not bothering to hide the command in his tone.

"Father! I didn't say that! I only said I wanted to be with him! I don't need to be his main wife!" Selene protested. She glanced at Anda guiltily.

Leyvi and Anda were speechless. A marriage proposal out of nowhere? Leyvi looked at Selene, he didn't even know this girl and she wanted to marry him. What is going on here? Why are there a lot of girls interested in him suddenly?

Leyvi looked back and forth between Selene and Magnus, unsure how to respond. "Well, I appreciate Selena's interest, but I already have multiple wives and the woman beside me is the main wife, so I can only refuse," he said carefully, trying to be as polite as possible. 

Magnus's expression grew stern. "You dare to refuse the Goldstone family?" he thundered, his voice echoing in the room. His aura swelled a little, filling the space with a palpable pressure that even a Foundation Building realm cultivator would find intimidating.

But Leyvi remained unfazed, his eyes never leaving Magnus's. He knew that Magnus was just intimidating them and wouldn't actually dare to harm them in the city, even if they were from a prestigious family. It was a testament to how ironclad was the Law and Order set by the Protectors. Magnus's aura intensified as time passed, but Leyvi didn't budge.

Selene's eyes widened with shock and anger at her father's sudden outburst. She stepped forward, placing herself between her father and the Leyan couple. "Father! That's enough!" she shouted, her voice firm and surprisingly powerful. "What are you doing threatening people like this?!"

Magnus's eyes narrowed, but he took a deep breath and reined in his aura. "Very well," he said.

Selene breathed out a sigh of relief. She didn't know what had gotten into her father today. He said he was only going to see what kind of person Leyvi was. He had always been so understanding and doted on her very much, so why the sudden change in attitude?

What if Leyvi had a bad impression on her because of this? She would blame her father.

"Hmm...I've seen enough. Let's go!" Magnus said to her daughter. He stood up and left the house.

Selene stood up and gave Leyvi and Anda a bow of apology, then immediately followed her father out of the house.

After they left, Anda looked at Leyvi and giggled. "My husband is so awesome that even a cute Young Lady of a prestigious family came to propose." 

Leyvi rolled his eyes. "What awesome? It was troublesome!"
