Chapter 72 – Mini Layla
Chapter 72 – Mini Layla
"Hello, my name is Clara, and this is Rondo. Please follow us, we will escort you to the city." Clara was polite. She wasn't pretty, but she had a nice smile. On the other hand, Rondo was a good-looking guy, but he didn't seem to have any interest in interacting with Leyvi.
Leyvi was amazed looking at them. In the Mountain Dew Sect, a Core Formation realm like them would be Elders but here, they were just a patrol.
An hour later, Leyvi finally saw the city from afar. The Holy Cat City was absolutely massive. Leyvi estimated that it was a dozen times bigger than Bara City. As expected of the biggest city in the South Region.
When they were near the city, they landed on the ground and everyone got off the carriages. As they were admiring the city's aesthetic, it seemed that they had already forgotten about the horrors they saw last time.
To Leyvi, it was a good thing. He didn't want them to be traumatized by it and affect their mental health. It would be detrimental to their cultivation.
Leyvi's group didn't have to pay for the city entrance fee because they were escorted by the Surveillance and Patrol Unit members.
"Mister Leyvi, Alchemist Master Anda, welcome to the Holy Cat City! I hope you will enjoy your time here. I need to remind you about the rules and regulations here." Clara proceeded to explain some important laws in the city.
In the end, Clara stressed again about not harming a single cat in the city or the entire city would be going after them.
Soon, they were brought to their office and were given a place to relax and wait.
"Sigh.....I didn't expect us to arrive here like this." Leyvi finally got to rest his back after a stressful day.
Leyvi wondered who would do something like that, so cruel and so heartless.
"Thankfully husband can break the formation, or we would have died like them." Layla still had lingering fears about the town. She was sure she would have nightmares about it for some time.
"Things like that aren't rare. That's why the Protectors exist. However, even with the Protectors and the laws, outside the city like this, evil people would still find ways to harm people secretly." Anda said.
"Maybe we should take the airship service when we return to the sect later. It's much safer, and I think we aren't strong enough to travel freely here." Leyvi suggested.
A regular patrol was already in the Core Formation realm, what about the people with higher positions?
If the evil cultivators were brave enough to do something like that near here, what kind of cultivation realm would they have?
That night, some of them had nightmares in their sleep. Anda activated her calming scent throughout the night so they could sleep peacefully.
The next day, Vargas came together with a few members of the Bureau of Investigation and asked for more details from Leyvi's group about how the formation works and some other details. The Bureau of Investigation had been dispatched to investigate this case.
They suspected that multiple other mortal towns in a 100km radius around the Holy Cat City also had the same fate as the town Leyvi encountered. Therefore, they needed the details of the formation's capability to counter it.
A formation with a combination of illusion, trapping, and warping at the scale of a whole town was the level of what a Formation Prince could do.
Above Formation Master was the Formation Grandmaster and above that was the Formation Prince. It means that the perpetrator was at least in the Soul Formation realm.
Leyvi and the rest were dumbfounded when the conclusion was made by the Bureau of Investigation personnel. They were extremely lucky to survive from a cultivator as high as that.
After the session, Leyvi's group was allowed to leave.
"Anda, we are 100% going back to the sect with the airship after the event is over. Anyone who agreed with me raise your hand," Leyvi said as soon as Vargas and the Bureau of Investigation personnel left.
It wasn't just Anda, everybody simultaneously raised their hand high up agreeing with Leyvi. Leyvi was relieved. Thankfully everyone was in the right mind. Since they were in the city now, they didn't have to be on high alert all the time which alleviated a huge weight from their mind.
"First things first, we have a month left before the Alchemy Conference starts, sooo....we need a place to stay first. Let's rent a house instead of a hotel room. We have 12 people after all." Leyvi started a discussion.
"We need a place with an alchemy room so Madam can practice," Valenia added. Leyvi nodded in agreement.
"Layla, can you survey the houses available to rent here? It must have at least a good alchemy room and can fit all of us. The other stuff isn't important. Let's rent for three months first, if we have to stay longer, we could extend later." Leyvi didn't think long and instructed Layla, their family manager.
Layla smiled, "Don't worry, I already found the place for us to stay. I researched about it last night."
"Huh? When did you go out? Aren't you sleeping in this place with everyone?" It wasn't just Leyvi, everyone was confused.
Layla raised her hand and showed her palm to Leyvi.
Leyvi was puzzled, what was she showing him?
A moment later, a drop of water appeared from her palm. Then, the drop of water wiggled, changing its form, and looking humanoid. It soon became more detailed and finally turned into a mini Layla.
The mini Layla started moving and acting exactly like the original Layla.
Oh. So... this is what she meant. Leyvi understood now. It was Layla's Clone talent. He gave her the talent before they departed from Bara City and with so many things happening he had forgotten about this.
What Leyvi didn't expect was the ability differed from his imagination. He expected the clone to be the same size, not this mini-sized.
"This is my new ability, Qi Clone. Once I give my clones a task, they can act independently, or work together to complete the task given. Which means that now, I can work even when I'm asleep!" Layla was so excited when she explained the last part.
"...." Leyvi was speechless. Girl, working more made you happy?
While Leyvi was speechless, the kids and the maids were amazed by Layla's new ability. This was something that they would like to have too.
"What if the clone got destroyed out of nowhere? Is it going to affect you?" Anda asked. She was worried that it would harm Layla too.
"Oh, don't worry Sister Anda, nothing will happen to me. It just means I lost some Qi. The good thing is their memories will return to me so I will know what happened to them." Layla replied.
Leyvi squinted his eyes. Why does it feel like there's something more amazing hidden in her explanation?
Wait a minute. Since the memory returned, this means Layla could make many clones and make them learn many things right? And all of this knowledge and experiences would return to her. This was way more heaven-defying than he initially expected!
Leyvi bet Layla didn't even think of this cheat and only thought about using it for multitasking her work. Leyvi sighed, he would tell her later or she would get embarrassed now.
Leyvi looked at Anda's expression and realized she noticed this cheat too. He would leave this to Anda then.
"Hahaha! Good job Layla. All my wives are so capable! Let's go, lead us to the place you chose, Layla." Leyvi laughed and praised them.
Valenia pouted. She wanted to be praised too.
Layla happily led them to a homestay she had chosen from all the information brought by her clones last night.
Some time later, they arrived at a lone hill in this area and there were a lot of houses systematically built around and on it.
All the houses here were bought by the rich residents of this city and they rented them for tourists to stay. Since the Holy Cat City was the most famous city in the South Region, where events were always held, many people came here yearly. Therefore, the hotel and house renting business was booming.
Layla contacted the homestay's owner she picked and concluded the deal soon. It cost them 1000 spirit stones per month, but this amount was nothing to them now. Anda was filthy rich.
That night, Anda brought Lilian and Layla into Leyvi's room to have a Three-Versus-One for the first time.
Leyvi expected the room to be flooded by Layla, but contrary to his expectations, Anda evaporated them to keep the room normal.
To combat the three women at the same time, Leyvi finally employed a new technique he learned from Lilian during the journey. He learned how to create and manipulate vines like Lilian, however, due to the lack of Qi Manipulation talent, he could only control one vine.
With the help of Dual Mind, Leyvi could create and manipulate two vines. He turned the vines' tips into the shape of his rod and pleasured the three succubus together.
Once again, Leyvi won the night battle.
