"Hehe..Alchemist Master Anda, since you got your maids, gatekeeper, and an Alchemic Knight, we should be able to discuss business now right?" Linda inquired.
"Sure Manager Linda, thank you for waiting." Anda was polite. Although she had a high value in the eyes of Linda, she didn't dare to act arrogant or rude. She was a Nascent Soul cultivator after all. A slap from her would kill her instantly.
"Husband, you can get to know our new employees first," Anda turned and said to Leyvi.
Linda smiled and immediately led Anda away to her office. Valenia followed closely behind Anda. She was more than a head taller than Anda.
Leyvi didn't forget to admire Linda's perfect hip-swaying movements as she left.
"Mister Leyvi, thank you for hiring me and my daughter. I will do my best working for you." Bana came near Leyvi and expressed his gratitude. Not only his debt was cleared, but he and his daughter got a stable job together.
"Oh? Who's your daughter?" Leyvi asked. He didn't expect Anda to hire a father and daughter together. His panda wife was really nice.
"Hello Mister Leyvi! My name is Hana! I am his daughter!" Hana excitedly introduced herself standing next to Bana.
Leyvi looked at Hana and Bana. Bana looked somewhat old now, but he could still see the resemblance between the two. Although he was quite old, Bana only had the cultivation of the middle stage of the Qi Refinement realm. Leyvi assumed he probably had a low-grade spirit root.
Leyvi personally experienced how hard it was to cultivate with a middle-grade spirit root, he can only imagine the struggle of people with a low-grade spirit root.
On the other hand, Hana's cultivation reached the peak of the Qi Refinement realm at a young age. Leyvi sensed that she was around the same age as him. She must have a good talent considering that they were in debt and had no resources to cultivate.
Hana has a cute face and she tied her hair in twin-tails. Her twin tails would bounce up and down when she talked excitedly. Unfortunately, that would be the extent of the bounce since her body lacked meat at certain parts.
"Bana, you don't have to thank me, all the credit goes to my wife. She's the one running the house. I'm just freeloading. Hahaha!" Leyvi was trying to make the image of Anda grander in the minds of these newcomers.
Leyvi then looked at Sayu, Nikita, and Fifi.
Fifi was a short woman with her hair tied in a top bun. She was probably trying to make herself look taller with that hairstyle. Although she was short, she was compensated with a pair of bountiful mounds. Leyvi could see them spilling out from the top of her dress.
Fifi noticed that Leyvi was looking at her so she politely bowed to him. Although it was a polite gesture, her deep valley didn't allow it to look so.
Leyvi was amazed. They were probably as big as Lilian's.
Leyvi then turned his head toward Nikita. She has long black hair like Anda but she possesses a naturally serious face. When Leyvi smiled at her, she responded with a smile as well but her face still looked serious. Both Nikita and Fifi were in the late stage of the Qi Refining realm.
Lastly, Leyvi observed the one who would be Lilian's personal maid, Sayu. She was also around the same age as him. She has slightly curly hair that reaches her neck. She was currently in the middle-stage Qi Refining realm.
"Sayu, do you have any interest in gardening?" Leyvi asked. If the answer is yes, they need to change Lilian's personal maid. They needed someone who could watch over Lilian, not a potential accomplice.
Sayu was confused by Leyvi's question but she still replied. "No Mister Leyvi, I don't have any experience with gardening. Is it a requirement? I can learn it!" Sayu suddenly panicked. She didn't want to miss this big chance.
"No no no! Don't, you don't need to learn it. It's good that you have no interest in it." Leyvi was the one who panicked now.
An hour later,
Leyvi chatted a lot with the five people and they were relieved that their employer seemed to be a nice person. He didn't mind having jokes with them. Usually, their employers didn't bother to say anything to them and acted like they were from a different world. In the end, Hana interacted with Leyvi the most as she was quite the chatterbox.
Soon, Anda entered the room again with Valenia close behind.
"Leyvi, we are finished. Let's go back now." Anda called for Leyvi.
"Alright everyone! Let's go to your new workplace." Leyvi turned and said to them.
"Yes, Mister Leyvi!" All of them replied excitedly. Layla also joined the fun.
Anda was stunned. She left for a bit but they were somehow already familiar and comfortable around Leyvi. She didn't know what to call this kind of charm.
...
In the carriage, Leyvi introduced Mr. Bison to them.
"Everyone the one who's pulling the carriage is Mr. Bison. He's my spirit beast. Mr. Bison, say hello to them," Leyvi instructed.
SNORT!
A loud snort was heard from outside of the carriage.
"..." Leyvi forgot he was the only one who could understand Mr. Bison.
"And I have another spirit beast named Stripey. If you see a small monkey with white stripes around his face suddenly appear in the house later, don't panic, that's my spirit beast." Leyvi continued.
"So Mister Leyvi is actually a Beast Tamer! That's very cool! I heard it was hard to be a Beast Tamer!" Hana excitedly praised Leyvi.
Bana who was sitting beside Hana glanced at Anda, he was scared Anda would misunderstand that his daughter was trying to flirt with her husband. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw Anda was just smiling and didn't mind it.
Leyvi showed a weird expression when he heard what Hana said. Was it hard to be a beast tamer? Why doesn't he feel like that? Stripey wanted to follow him and Mr. Bison wanted to work for demonic core.
"Hahaha! I'm just lucky. Is it that hard to be a beast tamer?" Leyvi asked. He was curious too.
"Uh...I heard it was hard, but I don't know why," Hana didn't actually know.
"Mister Leyvi, let me explain." Layla volunteered.
"Lady Layla, please do, it would be my pleasure." Leyvi accidentally entered gentleman mode because it was Layla.
The newcomers immediately thought that Leyvi liked Layla. They instantly cheered for Layla in their mind.
Anda giggled at their reactions.
"Mister Leyvi, being a Beast Tamer is indeed very hard. The biggest problem is the language barrier. As you know, forcing spiritual imprints won't work because it will damage their mind, so they need to communicate with the demonic beast but this is where the language barrier came, and most demonic beasts are naturally violent, so it was very difficult to tame them." Layla explained.
Leyvi thought about what happened in the past and completely agreed with Layla. In Stripey's case, he was the one who learned the human language on his own so communication was possible. In Mr. Bison's case, he got Universal Language so it was much easier to communicate with them.
"So, how do they usually tame them?" Leyvi was curious. He also stopped his gentleman mode.
"They usually raised the animals from small, bonded with them, and turned them into demonic beasts. However, this method took a lot of time and effort, not to mention the spirit beasts raised this way are weaker compared to the ones in the wild." Layla explained again. She was a little disappointed Leyvi stopped his gentlemanly persona. She enjoyed it.
What Layla said immediately reminded him of Stripey. That small monkey was quite weak since he grew up in a safe environment.
"Are there other methods?" Leyvi continue asking.
Layla nodded. "Some Beast Tamer look out for injured demonic beasts, they help them heal and slowly try to befriend them, some bait the demonic beast with their favorite food and some just beat them up until they submit. The last method has the highest chance of success, using the spirit beast they had tamed to communicate with the demonic beast."
Leyvi nodded his head again. He felt like his method was the best. Just talk with them. Hang on, maybe he should take advantage of the fact that he could speak with the demonic beast and become a real Beast Tamer. It would be easier to distribute the talents too. Considering all the options he has right now, he really felt that being a Beast Tamer was the best choice.
As soon as he saw his path much clearer, Leyvi's mood instantly brightened up.
"Lady Layla, thank you for your explanation. It was only because of you, that I finally saw the light!" Leyvi was back to his gentleman mode.
Everyone was cheering for Layla in their mind again.
Seeing Leyvi's gentlemanly act again, Layla was happy. She wondered why she felt this way. Could it be.... that she has a gentleman fetish?
Realization hits Layla.
