Chapter 105 - Bamboozled

The auction went on for hours, but the excitement from the early bid on the 'Heavenly Touch Alchemy Method' had already settled down.

The items that followed were mostly high-tier spirit artifacts, alchemy ingredients, a special fire, more cauldrons, and some rare resources that were too expensive for Leyvi to even consider.

However, Leyvi stayed interested throughout the auction because it was a new experience for him and it allowed him to gauge how far the wealth difference between his family and other families.

"Thank you for attending the auction, bid winners please come to the exchange room to exchange for your items." 

Finally, the auction came to a close. The auctioneer announced the end of the auction with a smile on her face, relieved that the day had passed without any major issues. The crowd began to disperse, the chatter of various deals and plans for the night's festivities filling the air.

Leyvi turned to Selene, "Miss Selene, since the auction is over, how about you come to our homestay right away?" He said.

Selene nodded her head. She wanted to talk with Anda and Leyvi's other wives more too. After all, they might be her future sisters. Selene blushed as she thought of this.

When they arrived at the exchange room, the atmosphere was a mix of excitement and fatigue. The wealthy cultivators were eagerly claiming their newfound treasures, their eyes gleaming with the prospect of their newfound toy. The room was grand, lined with shelves holding various items, each tagged with a number that corresponded to the lot they had won.

Leyvi, with Selene by his side, approached the counter where the attendant looked up with a courteous smile. "Congratulations on your successful bid, Young Lady Selene," the attendant said, nodding respectfully. "Your item is ready for collection."

Selene whispered the lot number for the ancient cauldron to the attendant. The attendant double-checked the record, nodded, and disappeared behind the curtain, returning moments later with the unassuming dark metal cauldron.

"Your item, Young Lady Selene," the attendant said with a slight bow, placing it on the counter.

Selene calmly reached into her space ring and pulled out a big bag filled with 50,000 low-grade spirit stones.

"Thank you," she said, placing the bag on the counter.

Quickly, the attendant verified the count and nodded. "The ancient cauldron is yours," she said respectfully.

"Is that ring the same as a space bag?" Leyvi asked curiously while Selene retrieved the cauldron.

Selene nodded, she knew that a space ring was much rarer than a space bag so she explained. "It's similar, but a space ring has a much bigger space and is much more secure. It is more durable and only opens for its owner. Even if I die, a random person can't access it no matter what except for a highly skilled array formation master."

Leyvi had the internal storage room so he wasn't particularly impressed by it but it would be a better storage item for his wives. "How much does it cost and where can I buy it?" Leyvi asked.

Selene chuckled. "It's not something you can just buy, Mr. Leyan. It's a custom-made artifact that requires an advanced array formation master to bind the ring and the owner together. That's why you won't be able to find it in any shop. There's only one place in the South Region that could craft a space ring, the Treasure Pavilion South Region Headquarters. And the price...well, let's just say it's more than the cauldron you just bought."

Leyvi's eyes widened. "Wow, that's expensive. But if it's that secure, it's worth it."

Speaking of Treasure Pavilion, Leyvi was reminded of Linda, the goddess of hip swaying, no, the manager of Bara City Treasure Pavilion. Maybe he should meet her again if a chance arises and ask her about the space ring in detail. She might be able to help them get a cheaper deal.

They left the bustling exchange room and stepped into the carriage. Selene felt a bit nervous. She didn't know why she was feeling this way, she had been in a carriage with him before but this time felt different. Her heart was racing like a rabbit being chased by a fox, thinking about Leyvi repaying the 50000 low-grade spirit stones with his body.

As the carriage moved, she couldn't help but steal glances at him. His body was a sculpture of power, each muscle defined and flexing slightly as he moved. She liked him because of his goofiness, but seeing Leyvi's manly body now made her body heat up, especially her lower part. Selene started imagining being alone with Leyvi again.

"Miss Selene, hello~~" Leyvi waved his hand in front of her face. Sigh, she froze again and with some drool this time. Girl, we arrived already, wake up, please.

The carriage stopped in front of their homestay. Selene finally snapped out of her daze, blushing profusely as she realized she had been caught daydreaming again. She quickly composed herself and stepped out of the carriage, feeling the cool evening breeze against her flushed cheeks.

"Thank you for helping me bid on the cauldron today, Miss Selene," Leyvi said with a warm smile, as they walked towards the house. "Let's have dinner together." Leyvi invited.

As they entered the house, Leyvi saw Fifi nearby and said to her, "Fifi, call the other maids and prepare dinner for our guest." He couldn't help but glance at her deep cleavage. 

Nala had redesigned their maid outfit and tailored them to enhance their assets. Every step she took would cause a tempting jiggle. If Leyvi hadn't restrained himself, he would instinctively touch them to experience the jiggle physics.

Fifi nodded, smiling. "Of course, Mister Leyvi. I'll call them right away" She turned around visibly happy. 

Nala had taught them the art of flirting and teasing in the past week so they could seduce Leyvi more effectively. At first, she was a bit shy, but she didn't want to lose thinking that Valenia had become Leyvi's concubine and the fire in Hana, Sayu, and Nikita's eyes. She had to be bolder and use her assets without qualms. This involves her future life after all.

Selene pouted as she looked at Fifi walking away with a hint of envy. They both have similar height but why are her boobs so big? She wanted her boobs to jiggle like that too. It's not fair!

Soon, Anda came downstairs and greeted Selene. She grabbed her small hand and brought her to a long sofa to chat. Leyvi followed and sat on a single-seat sofa. He knew Anda's habit. She was going to do some brainwashing whisper to promote him again.

"Sister Selene, thank you for accompanying my husband today. I'm sure he was glad that such a cute young lady like you spent your precious time with him all day. Did you have fun together?" Anda asked with a smile that gave off the 'big sister energy'.

"Fu-fun together?" Selene stuttered while blushing heavily, thinking about another kind of 'fun'. "I enjoyed the day with Mr. Leyan today and I laughed a lot," Selene replied.

Anda chuckled seeing Selene constantly blush. It reminded her of Lilian in the past before she became a woman. She would always blush, even for the smallest thing. Teasing Lilian was very entertaining at that time. Now that she was a full-fledged woman and had experienced many things, her skin grew thicker and she didn't blush easily anymore.

"Sister Selene, if you want, you can stay together with us until the Alchemy Conference ends. We don't have enough room here but you can stay in mine. That way we can spend more time together familiarizing ourselves." Anda made her move.

Leyvi rolled his eyes. He knew something like this was coming. If Selene agreed, Leyvi knew she would definitely become his woman in the near future. His panda wife was really bold. Selene was the young lady of a big clan after all.

"Really?" Selene's big eyes light up. "I'll inform Father right away!" She took out a communication array device and sent a message to her father, Magnus Goldstone. She put back her communication device without waiting for a reply.

Leyvi was dumbfounded. Instantly? No hesitation whatsoever! Game over. He had to add another woman in the harem now. Leyvi glanced at Anda and saw her mischievous smile.

The next moment, Selene took out the cauldron they got from the auction and handed it over to Anda. "Sister Anda, I got this cauldron for you. Although it doesn't have a special effect, it comes from the Ancient Era and is extremely durable. I hope you like it!"

Leyvi fell from the sofa. 

What the heck? That was the cauldron he bought to give Anda. Why did the script turn into she bought it for Anda? He was planning to repay her with the natural liquid Qi here, doesn't she want her 50000 low-grade spirit stones anymore?

Anda happily accepted the cauldron. She could guess what was going on and tried her best to hold her laughter. 

Selene had a wide smile. After observing Leyvi and Anda's dynamic, her instinct told her that she would have Leyvi faster if she captured Anda's heart first.
