Chapter 18 - First Time

The peach tree was gone! Leyvi sent a mental message to Stripey not to act weirdly here. He doesn't want anyone to see them act suspiciously like they have something to do with the missing peach tree in case someone is observing in secret.

Leyvi then told Anda via sound transmission that this was where he got those peaches. He wondered what happened to the peach tree. Did the destruction of the Mystical Array Valley cause the formation to collapse and the peach tree got taken by passersby?

Lilian walked toward the area where the peach tree used to be and crouched. She started to touch the soil and then grabbed them in her hand. Her eyes quickly widened and as if the universe was telling her something, she instinctively could tell that this soil was a supreme treasure! Her bottom fell to the ground and she started to shiver from excitement!

She immediately looked at Leyvi and Anda who were staring at her and sent them a sound transmission informing them about the soil.

A treasure soil! Leyvi and Anda didn't expect to be able to find a treasure soil here. In fact, if not for Lilian, they wouldn't even be able to notice anything special about this soil and just leave it be.

Lilian said her space bag wouldn't have enough space to keep all of the soil, so she asked them a favor to get as much as possible for her. As a gardening fanatic, she would never want to miss any of the soil if possible. She would even sold all of he belongings to get her hands on these.

This is it! Anda saw the opportunity. She didn't expect the opportunity to enact her plan to come in just 2 days of traveling.

Anda came beside Lilian and started to whisper something in her ear.

"Sister Lilian, my husband has a way to get all of the soil here for you! Do you want it?" Anda enticed her.

Whhaaatttt!!!?? Lilian's mind screamed. How is this possible? She took a peek at Leyvi and started to blush. For sister Anda to suggest this, there must be a catch! She might be an introvert, but she was not stupid. 

"Wh..what do you want from me?" Lilian asked using a sound transmission. Do they want to know the secret of my gardening skills? Or do they want me to supply alchemy ingredients for the rest of my life? Or do they want me to become their house's personal gardener and plant a lot of beautiful flowers? She recalled that Anda's courtyard had quite a few flowers planted.

In the end, her thought was still quite innocent. If Anda knew what she was thinking, she would roll on the ground laughing.

"Sister Lilian, I would like for you to become my husband's 2nd wife!" Anda proposed on her husband's behalf.

BOOOMM!!! 

Lilian's mind exploded! Not literally.

Wi..wi..wife?? MMMee?? Whhaatt?? Whhyy?? So many questions buzzing in her mind right now but for some reason, her heart started to beat wildly. What is going on with her? Lilian was confused and flustered. Her human interaction deficiency started to show an effect on her behavior.

Meanwhile, Leyvi was watching the show 20 meters away together with Stripey. 

"Stripey, what are they doing?" Leyvi asked a question about human interaction to a monkey.

"Umm...Stripey knows what is this! This is called women gossiping. They would whisper to each other about something and then they become crazy!" Stripey explained what he knew from watching humans for the last two years. He saw a lot of interactions like this among the girls, especially married women.

"Ohhh...so this is women gossiping!" Leyvi nodded. He noticed that Anda was smiling the entire time she was 'gossiping', so this should be a good activity for the ladies.

"Sister Lilian, please calm down." Anda tried to calm down the flustered Lilian. Hearing this, Lilian started to calm down.

"But..but..sister Anda, Mr. Leyvi is your husband.." Lilian sent another sound transmission. She can't comprehend why a woman wants her husband to marry someone else. Could it be that something was wrong with her body and she couldn't fulfill her husband's wishes to have a child? Lilian suddenly felt sympathy for Anda.

Anda who saw Lilian's expression suddenly turned sad and thought that she was going to decline. She then decided to give another bait.

"Sister Lilian, my husband is the best man in the world, and I like sister Lilian's personality very much. Look at this," She pointed toward her birthmark. 

"Do you know how many people were disgusted when they saw my eyes? Most of them! A few didn't mind the birthmark, but they still didn't have any intention to befriend me. Now there are a lot of people trying to befriend me because I became an Alchemy genius, but before that, only my husband treated me sincerely. Isn't he the best?" Anda planted a good impression seed in Lilian's mind.

Lilian took a quick peek at Leyvi again and nodded.

Anda smiled and continued, "That's why I wanted to share my blessing with sister Lilian. Don't tell me you want to live alone forever? Your big sister is married now. Do you want to keep making her worried about you? There's a reason why she asked you to travel with us you know." Anda continue to grow the seed she planted in Lilian's mind. She is the gardener now!

The more Lilian thinks about it, the more it makes sense. But she still hesitated. Anda determined that it was enough for now so she stopped. Let the seed grow on its own later.

"Sister Lilian, you can think carefully about this first. My husband will help you collect the soil for you." Anda gave her a soft pat and helped her get up. Anda brought Lilian to Leyvi who was still watching them.

"Husband, please help sister Lilian to collect all the soil here. It is very important to her." Anda requested.

Leyvi knew from her expression that she was planning something but he didn't ask. He just did what was requested.

Leyvi squatted, touched the ground, and spread his spiritual sense to the entire ground containing the soil. "Oh? this soil is indeed a treasure!" 

After his spiritual sense covered the entire soil, he put them in the internal storage room. Suddenly the soil on the ground is gone and a huge hole is formed.

Lilian's eyes widened. He really can take all of them! She was excited! Suddenly the image of Leyvi in her heart grew bigger. Anda chuckled secretly. She had expected this outcome. It was just a matter of time.

After Leyvi had stored the soil, he stretched his spiritual sense and checked his surroundings first.

Shit!

Someone was spying!!

A Foundation Building late stage!!

While Leyvi was thinking quickly about what to do, the spy noticed that Leyvi's spiritual sense reached him and immediately flew away. 

"Daammn!! What kind of spiritual sense does that kid have?? It reached so far!" He screamed at himself while flying away with all his might. He was using a treasure to look around and found a group of people excited about some soil.

He was excited when he learned that the soil was some shocking treasure. He didn't try to rob them because there was a peak stage Foundation Buildings right there so decided to run and inform his group.

Time suddenly felt slow for Leyvi. 

"I can't let him go"

"He will bring disaster"

"My wife's life is on the line"

"I need to do it" 

"I must"

"KIIIILLLLLLLLLL"

BOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!! BOOOOMMM!!

The entire area around Leyvi exploded! Leyvi's aura skyrocketed tremendously! His entire legs were on great fire!

The next instant, another boom sounded as Leyvi chased after the spy.

Leyvi accelerated and reached a terrifyingly high speed in a short amount of time.

"Moooorrrrreeeee!!"

In desperation, Leyvi exerted more power to his feet.

BOOOOMMMMMM!!

Fire kept bursting out of his feet like a rocket and he gained more speed!

The spy saw this and was about to bring out a communication array device but it was too late.

A fiery leg reached him in the blink of an eye, he didn't have a chance to put up protection qi around his body.

BOOOOOMMMM!!!

The last boom sounded. The impact of the kick immediately obliterated the late-stage Foundation Building spy into smithereens and then further disintegrated by the fierce flame.

This exchange happens in less than 10 seconds. From the moment Leyvi discovered the spy, to when the spy exploded into pieces, only less than 10 seconds passed.

Leyvi was exhausted, and when Anda, Lilian, and Stripey arrived, he told them to bring him and run away quickly. He didn't want anyone else to find out about this. While leaving the place Leyvi ate a bunch of Qi Replenishing pills to recover his energy.

Lilian was surprised that Leyvi was able to kill a late-stage Foundation Building realm when he was only an early-stage Foundation Building realm. If it was her, she would never be able to catch up with that spy. Not only that, she didn't even notice the spy because she was focused on the soil.

Leyvi felt conflicted. He had killed a person for the first time in his life. His whole body felt uncomfortable. It felt completely different when killing a demonic beast. 

Sigh...Do I need to kill more in the future? Is this cultivation?
