Chapter 201 - Multi-Element Sect
🕑 Added 2024-12-25 07:00:07 +0000 UTC"Three Soul Formation experts! Isn't that too strong?" Leyvi asked. It was hard for him to imagine such formidable strength being concentrated in one place.
"Hehe. Not really. If you go to the Central Region, you'll find many more organizations stronger than our sect," June replied with a light chuckle.
"Is that so?" Leyvi wondered how long it would take for them to reach their level. Everything felt so far out of reach right now, like a distant star that twinkled teasingly.
"Fairy Maiden June, I'm not sure what to think about your decision to settle your sect here. What drove you to make this decision?" Layla asked. She had some concerns about this issue.
"Why? Oh my. Because of your husband, of course. His Heavenly Elemental Overlord Body is the most attractive thing to our sect. Since he refused to become our future sect master, I can only resort to this," June explained.
"Heavenly Elemental Overlord Body? What kind of body is that?" Layla asked, her tone filled with curiosity, while the other ladies, who also hadn't participated in the Mercenary City recruiting trip, exchanged confused glances.
Seeing their confusion, June momentarily wondered what was going on but soon realized. Oh, I forgot. His Unique Heavenly Body is not listed on the current list, so Leyvi and Anda decided on the name together recently. The others must not have been informed about this yet.
"Ah, are you talking about our husband's overwhelming sexual combat power, Fairy Maiden June?" Hana 'connected the dots.' When Leyvi introduced June to them earlier, they were shocked that a Soul Formation big shot like her had been traveling with their husband and followed him back home.
At first, they were somewhat afraid to interact with her, intimidated by her power. They couldn't help but feel out of place in her presence as if they were standing before an untouchable figure of legend. But after some time, seeing how friendly she was, their nervousness disappeared. It was clear that despite her high cultivation level, June wasn't unapproachable, and this realization allowed them to relax around her.
"We didn't expect Fairy Maiden June to be interested in his body too. The name makes sense. He really is like an overlord in bed. Even when the nine of us ganged up on him, he still overpowered us every time," Hana continued, her voice carrying an air of pride as though she was recounting a legendary battle.
Hearing this, Sayu, Fifi, Nikita, and Layla nodded, showing an understanding look. They had firsthand experience that lent credence to Hana's claim. On the other hand, Selene and Sawi blushed, their minds involuntarily conjuring the vivid imagery Hana had painted with her words.
"Hmph! Sex fiend," Ava said.
"..." Senior Sister June and her three junior sisters were utterly speechless. What did they just hear? Nine versus one? Overwhelming sexual combat power? Such words and ideas were entirely outside their realm of expectation, leaving them momentarily frozen in disbelief.
Leyvi facepalmed. He felt like all his women needed to attend a common-sense class again. Anda had corrupted them so much. He glanced at the corrupter and saw her enjoying the situation again.
"Ahem, this lass, you misunderstand me. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about your husband's ability to wield multiple elements easily. However, it's not impossible. If he can reach the Soul Formation realm faster than me, maybe I can also experience the overlord in bed," Senior Sister June said. She wouldn't compromise her rule that easily, even if Leyvi was now the most important person to her sect.
"Ah...you are talking about that. We have seen our husband use fire and wood elements. I see. So that is a Unique Heavenly Body. I didn't know about that," Hana responded. As for the part about reaching the Soul Formation realm faster than her, Hana and the others assumed she was joking. After all, catching up to someone of June's caliber was no small feat, and it seemed more like playful banter than a serious challenge.
"Fairy Maiden June, as the current city lord, I am not sure if I should allow you to settle here," Layla suddenly said, bringing the conversation back to the topic she had wanted to discuss since they had gone off on a tangent for too long.
As the city lord, she had the power to deny people entry to the city.
"Oh my. You are making me sad, City Lord Layla. May I know why you disagree?" June asked. She hadn't expected to be rejected right away.
"The problem is that your sect is way too strong for our city. If any of you cause trouble, we will have no way of holding you accountable. I hope you can understand my concerns," Layla answered truthfully. She wasn't accusing June's sect of bad intentions, but the potential risks were undeniable.
"I see." Senior Sister June became silent. She could understand Layla's concerns. Causing trouble aside, even their mere presence here could cause trouble. As a sect with multiple Soul Formation experts, their presence was massive, and people might listen to them instead of the city lord, diminishing her authority.
This could lead to a number of problems. For example, if a problem arose within the city, the people might turn to them to solve it instead of the city lord, reducing Layla's authority and reputation. This problem was not uncommon. Stories of such scenarios were well-documented in the histories of many places.
It could even lead to foreign interference, where outside parties took advantage of the situation to sow discord and benefit from it.
Layla saw this problem and brought it up to her, not to prevent her from settling here but to discuss how to turn it to her advantage. Layla knew that she had come here wanting something from her husband, so she wanted something from her too. Instead of chasing her sect away, why not use their presence here properly to intimidate bad actors?
This lass is quite scheming, June thought.
June smiled and said, "City Lord Layla, don't worry about it. How about we publicly declare that we will be working with you?"
"Thank you for understanding, Fairy Maiden June. How about we discuss the contract right away? Can you represent your sect? I actually have the perfect place for your sect to settle, considering the small number of your sect members," Layla invited. Her tone had shifted to one of diplomacy.
Senior Sister June chuckled inwardly. Not leaving things without evidence, huh?
"Oh my, City Lord Layla is very thoughtful. Where would that place be?" June asked, genuinely curious about the arrangements Layla had in mind.
"It's the original city lord mansion in the City Lord Estate. Since I live here, I don't have any use for that mansion. Your sect could settle there. And since it's not far from here, you can easily meet with my husband if you need his assistance," Layla replied.
Leyvi rolled his eyes as he overheard the conversation. First, it was Anda. Now Layla had also learned to use him to gain an advantage in her agenda. However, he didn't mind it at all. The more help he could give to his wives right now, the faster he could live off them in the future. At times, he even found it amusing how they'd try to turn every situation to their advantage.
However, he liked Layla's method better. If it were Anda, she would try to get them all to be his women. It wasn't like he disliked Anda's method or anything. He wished she would use them sparingly.
"The city lord mansion? Oh my, you are really generous. If that's the case, we can discuss the contract now," June accepted.
Soon, Layla and Anda brought Senior Sister June to Layla's office. Anda followed because she was worried Layla might get into a disadvantageous position. They discussed things thoroughly before coming to an agreement.
The sect of June and her three junior sisters was called the Multi-Element Sect. For as long as the Multi-Element Sect stayed and operated in Bara City, the sect would respect and support the authority of the city lord in all public and civic matters. Any sect member involved in disputes or issues would follow the city's legal process. If Bara City were in a crisis, the sect would be obligated to help the city within its capacity.
"Oh my, oh my. City Lord Layla, you really put many restrictions on us. You don't trust me at all," June joked as she reread parts of the contract.
"Hehe. How can you say that? Even if I trust you, what about the others in your sect? I can't take any chances. My husband entrusted this duty to me. I can't make any mistakes. Sigh, if I were as strong as you, I wouldn't have to take all these precautions," Layla complained a little.
Senior Sister June chuckled and said, "Actually, even without you doing all this, I intended to fully support your husband, and that extends to helping you."
"Just because of his unique body?" Layla asked.
"Not just that. It's also because he is the receiver of the Deed of Sovereignty," June replied, her words carrying a weight of significance that couldn't be overlooked. It was clear this was no ordinary matter.
"Oh yeah, what's the deal with the Deed of Sovereignty? Back then in The Lusty Meaty Pot, you reacted like it was a big deal. Isn't it just proof of his ownership of this land?" Anda asked curiously. She felt like there was more to it.
June smiled. "I don't blame you for not knowing about it. It was a secret that even the Protector's envoys didn't know of. However, I have insider information. My sect mistress is a very, very close friend of one of the Protectors. She told me that around three hundred years ago, the Cloud Continent Protectors discussed finding successors for themselves so that they could retire and travel to other continents."
Anda and Layla's eyes widened, and they looked at each other, guessing where this was leading.
