Chapter 208 - Farewell Anda
🕑 Added 2025-01-01 07:02:01 +0000 UTC"Queen of Harmony, is something wrong?" Sawi asked after noticing Anda blinking without saying anything.
Anda snapped out of her speechlessness. "Ah, nothing. It's a good thing you realized sooner that our Lord Husband is not someone who cares about a person's status or utility. What matters is whether he likes them or not."
Sawi nodded a few times, showing her understanding.
"Alright, now we move to the next suggestion. Anybody?" Anda's eyes shifted from lady to lady, waiting for their ideas.
The next moment, someone Anda least expected to give an idea raised her hand.
"Fairy of Abundance, let's hear your suggestion." Anda smiled. She thought that Lilian didn't care much about improving their chances in the Night Battle Campaign, but it seemed she was wrong. It was rare for Lilian to show interest in topics unrelated to her passion for gardening.
Lilian replied using sound transmission to everyone, "I have a small plant that I obtained long ago called the Crimson Desirevine. The leaves of this plant emit a sweet, fragrant smell that enhances our sexual willpower if smelled frequently. Everyone can keep a pot in their room to improve their ability."
"I see. So is this the reason why you can resist our Lord Husband's Qi Vortex? Good job, Fairy of Abundance. This idea is approved as well," Anda said.
"But we have a problem," Lilian quickly added.
"What is it?"
"This plant has separate genders. The one in my possession is the female Crimson Desirevine. If I want to grow more of them, I need the male counterpart for pollination purposes. Umm... but this plant is rare... I need help to find it," Lilian explained, smiling at the end because she knew she had been exposed.
Anda and the other ladies rolled their eyes. So this was her agenda all along. She only brought up the idea because she couldn't find the male plant and needed their help.
Anda sighed. It turned out she was wrong. Lilian was still the same Lilian. She only showed interest because it was related to her gardening agenda.
"Very well, Fairy of Abundance. After the meeting is over, you can describe everything about this Crimson Desirevine plant to Sovereign Lady. She will help locate this plant," Anda instructed as she pointed to Layla. The Sovereign Lady nodded in acknowledgment. As the city lord, she has more means to find information about anything now.
Lilian smiled sweetly after seeing that her agenda was successful.
"Ah, right. Fairy of Abundance, make sure to bring that plant to me later. Maybe I can replicate its scent to induce the same effect. Until you successfully grow more of the plants, I will keep releasing that scent when you are around me," Anda said.
They weren't surprised when Anda mentioned this because they already knew she possessed a Unique Heavenly Body related to scent.
"Alright. Let's move on to the next idea. We have two so far," Anda resumed the discussion.
A second later, Hana raised her hand.
"Very well," Anda smiled. "What is your suggestion, Echo Maiden?"
Hana stood up and spoke. "What if instead of just the holy rod, we replicate the Lord Husband himself? Wouldn't that be more realistic?"
She sat down again after asking the question.
Anda continued smiling but shook her head before answering. "That is something I can't approve. Everything has a limit, and replicating our Lord Husband himself would be beyond that limit. We only need these tools for training, not to replace our Lord Husband. Suggestion denied."
"I'm sorry... Queen of Harmony. I didn't mean to replace our Lord Husband..." Hana felt dejected, as if she had done something wrong. Her voice trailed off, and a hint of guilt appeared in her eyes.
"Hehe." Anda chuckled. "Why do you sound so dispirited? This is not the lively Echo Maiden I know. Don't worry about it. Just speak whatever ideas come to your mind. This is why we have this meeting. If you don't speak up, we won't know what we should or shouldn't do."
Anda's eyes scanned the ladies before continuing, "In fact, everyone should voice their opinions like Echo Maiden, even if you think it might sound outrageous."
Hana's mood immediately returned to normal after hearing Anda's speech.
Afterward, the ladies suggested more ideas. They became increasingly outspoken about the crazy ideas in their minds. Some were accepted, but most were rejected.
At one point, Nikita, the Bountiful Saintess, even suggested that they should train themselves in the aphrodisiac scent that Anda once used as a secret weapon, which Anda quickly rejected because it was something that shouldn't be used frequently. The effect was so potent that if a man wasn't around to alleviate it, they might resort to desperate measures such as inserting strange things inside them.
After a while, no more suggestions were voiced by the ladies. Anda was already very satisfied with the results of today's emergency meeting. She was thinking about doing it more often in the future.
However, the meeting hadn't ended yet. Her sisters had voiced their ideas and opinions, but she still hadn't shared hers.
"Alright, ladies. Before we end, I'm going to let you know about my method of increasing our sexual willpower," Anda said.
The ladies, hearing this, immediately fixed their postures. Their bosoms, already resting on the table, lifted again, except for one lady. They were definitely interested in hearing Anda's method.
Seeing their expressions, Anda smiled. "I am an alchemist, so my method, of course, is related to alchemy. Some time ago, with the help of our Lord Husband, the best man in the world, I obtained a few tier-4 alchemy formulas."
After a slight pause, she continued. "One of them, when consumed, can put us into a deep and immersive illusion where we are tempted by all sorts of things. These illusions will help us temper our willpower. The more illusions we break out of, the better our willpower becomes. Not just sexual willpower, but overall willpower. Meaning it will also be helpful for our future cultivation."
"Queen of Harmony, you can make tier-4 alchemy products already?" Fifi asked, her voice tinged with awe. If her madam could already make tier-4 alchemy products while just a Foundation Building cultivator, wouldn't this news shake the continent? Nobody had ever achieved this feat yet.
"Hehe. Calm down, Mountain Maiden. I'm not that omnipotent," Anda chuckled. "I can only make tier-4 alchemy products after I reach the Core Formation realm. That is why I will be entering seclusion after this meeting. I will only come out after I become a Core Formation realm cultivator. The faster I reach this realm, the sooner I can start making tier-4 alchemy products, and the better it will be for our family overall. So, while I'm absent, make sure to take care of our Lord Husband, okay?"
They were a bit disappointed to hear that Anda would enter seclusion. It was always fun to spend time with their Big Madam, after all.
"Madam... oops... Queen of Harmony, leave it to us! We won't let you down!" Nala declared while patting her chest, creating quick ripples.
Hana stood up and added, "I will make sure to check on Lord Hubby every day!" similarly patting her chest, but no ripple.
"Hehe. You don't have to do it every day. You need to cultivate too. If you slack off on your cultivation, you're going to get old faster, you know?" Anda teased playfully.
The ladies were immediately horrified at the mention of getting old. They resolved to cultivate more frequently, especially those still in the Qi Refinement realm like Fifi, Nikita, and Sayu. They realized they had been slacking off far too much lately, enjoying the comfort and luxuries of their life. Anda's playful reminder served as a wake-up call.
The three were already at the peak of the Qi Refinement realm, so they could advance anytime they felt ready. However, they knew such a breakthrough required focus and determination—qualities they would need to rekindle after their recent complacency.
"Ah, right. Red Sword Empress, you should enter seclusion too. You have been sparring with Slashy way too much. If you don't reach the Core Formation realm before the Mystic Realm opens, I'm going to replace you with Ava," Anda reminded Valenia.
"Yes, Madam... ahem... Queen of Harmony." Valenia scratched her head, caught off guard by the sudden call-out.
She had indeed been sparring with Slashy too much in the training room. Sometimes, her fights with Slashy became so intense that they disrupted Leyvi's training. How could they not be intense? Two Weapon Intent users clashing would cause sharp aura fragments to burst into the surroundings like blades in a storm.
Thankfully, Leyvi had a tough body. Aura fragments of that level couldn't hurt him at all. However, if it had been other average Foundation Building cultivators, they might not have survived the onslaught.
"Okay. I think we have discussed everything, so we will end our meeting here. Good luck, sisters. I will be entering seclusion now. In my absence, Sovereign Lady will be in charge. If you have any problems, go to her," Anda said as she stood up with a smile and walked to the door.
"Farewell, Big Madam! I will miss you! Come back soon!" Nala shouted.
"Me too! I will miss you too!" Hana joined in.
Anda chuckled as she left the room.
Later that night, Leyvi was informed of Anda's sudden seclusion. He noticed his wives and concubines acting a little secretive around him and couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
"Hmm, it's Anda. She must have come up with some kind of evil plan again. And the target is me. Well, whatever. I'm kind of curious to see what they want to do. Hahaha!" Leyvi laughed, still in high spirits after having crushed their Night Battle Campaign once again.
That night, Sawi invited Leyvi to her room.
