Chapter 30 - Sudden Decision

"Mr. Leyvi, all of your items sum up to 2748 low-grade spirit stones in total," After getting to know more about this approachable man, Layla found out about his name and used it instead of 'dear customer'.

"2748 low-grade spirit stones. Good! Lady Layla, I trust your judgment." Leyvi happily accepts the amount. He doesn't need to worry about Treasure Pavilion scamming people or there would be rumors already. It's a gargantuan organization after all.

2748 low-grade spirit stones, if they were converted to his sect contribution points, that would be 274800 points. A spirit stone was equivalent to 100 contribution points. He could get 2 bottles of low-grade qi refining pills. Before he got the talent bead, he would need half a year to get that amount of points.

Qi Refinement realm cultivators usually can't use spirit stones to cultivate because the spiritual energy contained is too chaotic for them to refine. That's why they needed the qi refining pills. When they reached the Foundation Building realm, absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stones was no longer a problem. 

"Mr. Leyvi, if you have anything you want to buy, you can visit the upper floors later. We have a very wide range of items being sold here." Layla didn't forget to promote after finishing the transaction. 

"Thank you very much, Lady Layla, we will surely come and look when we need something, and when we have things to sell again in the future, we will definitely come straight for your service. A nice lady with a nice smile always makes the day better." Before they leave, Leyvi casually leaves a sprinkle of flirt for Layla.

Even though Layla knew Leyvi was just being nice. She couldn't help but feel happy. Dealing with people every day, it was hard to meet a polite and easy-to-talk customer. She hoped there would be more people like Leyvi.

Soon, they were out of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Anda, where to go next?" Leyvi asked.

2748 spirit stones were a huge amount in the Mountain Dew Sect, but he was not sure how big is this amount here. Even the entry fee into the city was already 5 spirit stones per person.

"Of course we should look for a place to stay first. Do you want to sleep on the street, husband?" Anda teased.

"Not the street, but there's a lot of trees here, there's a bunch of bamboo too." Leyvi shot back but was immediately attacked by a 'meat twister'.

"Ou...ou..oouchh! Panda girl! How is this fair? Why are you using physical attack in word battle?" Leyvi complained.

"Girl, tonight I will make you beg for mercy!" Leyvi sent a sound transmission to Anda.

"Hmph! Bring it on!" She accepted his challenge. Not even afraid. In fact, she looked forward to the battle. It's been a while after all.

Lilian, Tal, and Tasya unknowingly walked a little further away from the weird couple as if not want to be associated with them.

A while later, after asking around, they reached the cheapest hotel in the city. A room here costs one spirit stone a day. Leyvi checked the room and found out it was spacious enough for 4 people to stay together. Each room has a big bed, a shower and toilet, and a small kitchen.

From what he asked the people before, in a more expensive hotel, the room would be larger and more comfortable, provided with food when requested, and most importantly, the room would be equipped with a spiritual energy enhancer array. The spiritual energy in the room could be amplified multiple times depending on the price. Obviously, Leyvi was not rich enough yet to stay in a place like this.

Since it was only one spirit stone a day, Leyvi decided to book 2 rooms for a month. He paid 60 spirit stones to the hotel receptionist and got two room cards which are the keys to the rooms.

Leyvi and Anda would stay in a room while Lilian, Tal, and Tasya would be in another room right next to them. When Leyvi and Anda depart to the Bara Volcano later, Lilian can take over their room.

Lilian won't be joining Leyvi and Anda because she needs to take care of the kids and her spirit root which is the wood elemental spirit root is very incompatible with this place. 

Anda has a fire elemental spirit root and Leyvi has the benefit of fire affinity so they wouldn't have any problem staying at the volcano for an extended period. In actuality, it would benefit their cultivation speed more.

Besides looking for special fire, Leyvi wanted to improve his Fiery Trailblazer martial skill at the Bara Volcano.

In one of the rooms, everyone was facing each other as they were planning their next course of action.

"Tal and Tasya, you both take 300 spirit stones each." Leyvi was giving spending money to the kids. Both of them were quite surprised that Leyvi suddenly gave them a large amount of money.

He smiled, "This money is not for you to spend on nonsense. You have been practicing the basic QI applications right? I won't be able to teach you much. Identify what you are good at and go buy martial skills that suit you. If you can find a better cultivating manual, or weapon you like, just use the money. You don't have to worry about getting robbed here. Just don't go out of the city. Understand?"

"Yes, master/brother Leyvi!" Both of them answered excitedly.

Leyvi then turned to Lilian and stared at her. When she noticed that Leyvi didn't say anything and kept staring, she blushed heavily and looked down. Anda giggled amusingly.

"Lilian, this is 500 spirit stones for you," After he teased her long enough, Leyvi gave her spending money too.

"Leyvi, I have my own money. This is too much." Via sound transmission, she refused the money. When crossing the grassland Lilian dropped the formalities when speaking with Leyvi as she felt more comfortable.

Anda knew from her expression that she was refusing the money so she interjected, " Sister Lilian, just take it. We all traveled together so everyone had their share of the money we made."

When she heard Anda's words, she no longer hesitated and took the money. Right after she stored the spirit stones, Leyvi gave her another 200 spirit stones. This made her confused.

"This is emergency hotel room money in case we stay at the volcano much longer than planned," He explained. Lilian made a realization look and she took the spirit stones.

Anda looked at Lilian and smiled. Her plan has been going quite well so it's time to move to the next step. She moved closer, sat right next to Lilian, and then held her hand.

"Sister Lilian, tomorrow I wanted to prepare and make a few alchemy products before going to the volcano." Anda slowly told Lilian. Lilian nodded.

"Could you accompany Leyvi to explore the city and buy some stuff tomorrow?" She continued. Anda was basically setting up a date for Leyvi and Lilian.

Lilian was flabergasted. She wanted to refuse but she saw Anda's pleading look. Lilian became flustered, she had never gone on a date before. And, what is this situation? Why was she so adamant about her becoming Leyvi's wife?

Could it be that she really couldn't give Leyvi a child so she wanted her to fill that role? Lilian unconsciously looked at the kids and it somehow strengthened the reason she made in her mind. 

Sister Lilian, why are you looking at us like that? The kids wondered.

Lilian's misunderstanding deepens.

Suddenly Lilian resolved herself. Her eyes showed that she had made her decision.

Previously, she has been alone in the sect for 20 years, without interacting with any male due to her muteness. If this issue were left to herself, she would be single forever. Now that a good friend of hers was sincerely asking for her help, and she didn't mind at all sharing with her, she should just grab this chance and get herself a husband. Her sister Vivian would no longer need to worry about her personal life.

There are only positive and no negative outcomes at all!

Her impressions of Leyvi were very good. Although he likes to tease her, she doesn't find the act annoying. He likes to goof around but he always treats Anda very well and never dismisses her opinions. A trait of a good husband. In conclusion, she actually enjoyed being around Leyvi and Anda, this weird couple.

Lilian looked at Anda resolutely and gave her the answer.

"Sister Anda, thank you for thinking highly of me. Lilian will accept your goodwill and marry Leyvi as his second wife! I will work hard to give Leyvi a kid!" She transmitted her answer to Anda.

Anda was stunned!

What? What?? She was only trying to progress their relationship by setting up a date but Lilian all of a sudden agreed to the marriage. And what's with that last sentence?

My baby panda should come out first okay?
