I Can Give Talent

After celebrating all night long, Leyvi woke up a bit late in the morning. Anda also woke up right after Leyvi when he began to sit at the edge of the bed.

In the beginning, Anda was quite shy, but after a while, she quickly became accustomed to the act and even demanded Leyvi to do the act in many different poses.

Leyvi stared at Anda who was still hugging the blanket and hesitated. He was wondering if he should tell her about the talent bead or not. Anda noticed that Leyvi was staring at her, but didn't interrupt. She just waited patiently.

"Fuuuh...." Leyvi let out a small breath of air and his black-colored eye regained a hint of utmost resolution. Leyvi decided to tell Anda about everything. Whether this was a good decision or not, this was a problem for the future Leyvi.

"I have a big secret I wanted to tell you." Leyvi adjusted himself and told Anda seriously.

Anda scanned Leyvi's face and body for a few seconds and replied, "What is it? Do you have other women out there? Let me tell you, I want to be the main wife! The others can become the secondary wife and needed my approval first!" 

Leyvi fell to the floor. What in the world was this panda girl thinking? Leyvi was completely caught off guard. Sure, he did have the intention to gather a harem, but this was not the thing he wanted to talk about right now. 

"Panda girl, what are you talking about? I wanted to talk about something else! I am not that charming, okay!" said Leyvi while looking up at Anda.

"Ah! Not about that? Then, why were you staring at me? What? Don't tell me you were starting to regret getting together with me, huh?" Anda suddenly had an angry look on her face and she was standing up on her bed with both her hands on her waist. She was completely exposed!

Leyvi was stunned silly over there. What is this scenery? Leyvi stared for a few more seconds, then he stood up, picked up Anda, and put her beside him on the bed. Nice, smooth skin. Leyvi commented in his mind.

"I was going to tell you that I got a life-changing treasure or toy, so I need to discuss this with you." Leyvi finally brought up the topic.

"Treasure? What Kind? Husband, show me!" Anda immediately changed her tone to a sweet, lovely wife and put Leyvi's arm in between her 'mountains'.

Leyvi was speechless. This lass changed her behavior way too fast. Although Leyvi was speechless, he knew her personality all too well. They have been together since their childhood, after all. She was actually quite a cheerful girl, but the birthmark made a lot of people stay away, which was a bit unfortunate.

Leyvi then went on and told Anda about everything that happened. From the talent bead, the talents, Stripey, and the benefits he got.

"Leyvi..." Anda looked at Leyvi teary-eyed. She was completely touched by Leyvi's past actions and hugged his arm even tighter. As for the talent that was given to her? She completely believed it.

Why else would she suddenly be able to obtain a miraculous skill out of nowhere? When she was starting to refine the spirit herbs a week ago, something just suddenly appeared in her memory.

Alchemy Vision. She was not sure if this was a made skill or an innate ability. She was able to activate Alchemy Vision on the spot. It was like a visual analysis of sorts.

When she looked at the spirit herbs in her possession, some data showed up, and she was able to see which part had the most amount of absorbed spiritual energy, which part has less, which part had impurities and many other things.

That was why she was able to refine high-grade qi refining pills. High-grade qi refining pills were not available on the sect's market. It was usually reserved for the core disciples of the sect. Any disciple who became a personal disciple of a high-ranked elder of the sect was considered a core disciple.

Of course, that means one must have the best cultivation talent in the sect. Why would any high-ranked elder take a mediocre person as a disciple?

In the Mountain Dew sect, only Elder Vivian, a cultivator of early stage Core Formation realm, and the leader of the Alchemy Hall were capable of refining high-level qi refining pills. Elder Vivian was the only Alchemy Master in the sect capable of refining tier 3 alchemy products, albeit only low-grade ones.

For now, Anda was an Alchemy Student, as she only knew how to refine a few tier 1 alchemy products. When she was able to refine tier 2 alchemy products in the future, she would become an Alchemy Teacher.

Now that she was able to refine high-grade pills at only the Alchemy Student level, consistently at that, it can be seen how much of a monstrous talent that was given to her. How could she not be touched? 

Leyvi was stunned again. Why is this girl like this now?

"Why are you crying?" the confused Leyvi wanted an answer.

"I'm crying because you are so good to me. Other people just stayed away from me. Only you didn't mind my panda eye. Now you got a big treasure, not only did you give the heaven-defying opportunity to me, you even shared the secret with me...other people would even kill their closest ones to keep their secret you know?" Anda got more teary-eyed as she explained.

"Tell me, am I not supposed to be touched?" Anda asked with emotions.

Leyvi was thinking about how he should reply to her. In the end, he just said whatever came up to his mind first.

"I mean, it's you, you know...If I give the talent to you, you will definitely let me enjoy it too, you are panda girl after all." Leyvi talked as if it was a matter of fact that Anda would do that.

The panda girl immediately burst into tears.

"That! That was the problem! Why would you think that I would definitely share my blessings with you, even if I'm your wife now? I could just leave you and become an Alchemy Supreme by myself, you know? There's nothing to restrict me from being with you, even your treasure didn't have that function, right?" She pointed out the problem in his thinking while sobbing.

Leyvi was dumbfounded. What she said makes sense. Why would he think that by becoming her cultivation partner, she would definitely stay by his side? Was he too naive? That's right, he can't take back the talent that was given. 

Why should they stick to him? Just like that small monkey, Stripey, he was just doing his own thing somewhere. As for his idea of having a harem? That's even more laughable. The benefits that he got from the treasure bead were just minuscule compared to the talents that were given by him.

Anda was able to refine high-grade qi refining pills out of nowhere, while the small monkey, a normal weak monkey, was able to steal from cultivators. What kind of heaven-defying abilities were given to them?

They all could just develop on their own without the need to be with him. A harem? Why should they? What a joke. The realization dampens his mood a lot. 

"Are..are you going to leave me?" Leyvi stuttered a little as his body was getting stiff from uncertainty.

Anda stopped sobbing and immediately hit Leyvi's shoulder a few times. "Why would I leave you?? I was just pointing out your naive thinking! Why do you think I waited for you here and didn't just tell the sect that I can refine high-grade pills?" Leyvi was relieved hearing that. His body relaxed again.

Anda stood up quickly and faced Leyvi again. She then assumed a crossed-arm pose right in front of Leyvi. Two 'mountains' were popping out in his direction.

Is she trying to seduce me or something?

"Listen here Leyvi, do not ever tell this secret to anybody else, you understand?" Anda was being a strict wife.

"Why?" Leyvi was having brain damage at this moment from the scenery.

"Why you ask!? Because they are going to capture you and make you a talent-breeding slave! That's why! You think everyone is like me?" Anda was angry at him. Why is he so stupid suddenly?

The moment Leyvi heard that he came back to reality and started to sweat. Oh no! This talent bead is not a treasure, it's actually a disaster! Thinking of what they might do to him makes him shiver.

No wonder the Toy Spirit calls this talent bead a toy. It is a toy! Toying with other people's life. Leyvi wondered how many of the previous hosts actually got slaved and exploited for life because they told someone untrustworthy.

"I want my toy" Leyvi summoned the menu in a low voice. Anda heard it, and she knew about this already, but she couldn't see it.

[Talent Bead |Level 2| EXP 17/500]

[Talent list: Sturdy, Chess, Fragrant]

[Recipient: Anda | Alchemy | 99/100]

[Recipient: Stripey | Steal and Stealth | 42/100]

[Host benefit: Fire Affinity, Tree Climbing Expert]

Leyvi stared at the menu, analyzing the information. The small monkey probably stole something again. Leyvi saw Anda's feeling point reached 99/100. I should be able to trust these numbers, right?

Even if this talent bead can toy with people's lives, that still depends on the choice that was made by the users, right? Leyvi's confidence returned a bit.

"It says here that you have 99/100 feeling points for me. Panda girl, you love me that much?" Leyvi looked at Anda and smiled teasingly.

"Hmph, you needed to look at that to know that much?" She put her hands on her waist again.

"Before we discuss more about our future, let's go for a few rounds!" Anda quickly jumped on Leyvi to unleash all the emotions she experienced just now.

Leyvi also welcomed this challenge. The bed was shaking again.

During these conversations, Leyvi and Anda both realized what exactly their true treasure was! The person in front of them.
